I 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: just wanted to hit on something. You know, I don't 22 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: hold personal Vandetta's or I just don't care about like 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: when I'm right or wrong about coaches and players. I 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: just tend to feel pretty confident when I take a 25 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: hard stance, and my stance on Steve Sarkisi and I've 26 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: never met the guy. Honestly, I've never talked to the 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: guy one time. Even when I was scouting and doing 28 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: the West Coast he was coaching the University of Washington, 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: I'd never even talked to him. I talked to a 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: bunch of assistants with a couple of school business I've made. 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: He wasn't even there. So I have no personal anything 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: involved in this guy. So when I say this guy 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: isn't a good head coach, I'm just saying that, Sally. 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: The way I judge him off television and his teams 35 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: and his resume simply tells you he's not a good 36 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: head coach. And today, up in the fourth quarter on 37 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: the road against Oklahoma State with the best player on 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: the field, b John Robinson. Honestly, if he if he 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: was a defensive lineman or an offensive lineman, were definitely 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean this gu would be like a 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft. He is an elite 42 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: talent at running back. He is an awesome player, and 43 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: he was the best player on the field. Yeah, with 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: a late lead and his quarterback quinnin yours, who's just off, 45 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: who just had a bad game. It happens, you know, 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you were is gonna be 47 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: some superstar player. Maybe he'll just be an up and 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: down player. Only time will tell. But like you're Michael 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: Jordan and Lebron James and Bryce Harper, you're allowed bad games. 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: But when your quarterback is off and your best players 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: you're running back and you're up late in the game, 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: run the pole, run the football over and over and 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: over again and you'll win. Instead, he just didn't ride 54 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: Bijon hard enough and they lost. Now, Steve Sarkisin is 55 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: not gonna get fired even if they end up seven 56 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: and five or eight and four, simply because of arch Manning. 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: That saves his season so he can underachieve, which he 58 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: is clearly underachieving right now. Now this third loss of 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: the season, and uh my, guess what he ends up 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: eight and four. But like if you gave a good 61 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: if you Brian Kelly, for example, do you know what 62 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: I love about It's my favorite part about the sports 63 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: that you know someone you know I I talk about 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: it for a living. But I'm not judged on wins 65 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: and losses. I'm judged on revenue, on listenership. You know 66 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: in anyone listening to this right, if you you run 67 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: a business or a part of a business, you you 68 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: have to hit quotas like it's not just as black 69 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: and white on a weekly basis of do you win 70 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: or do you lose? Does your team get better? Every week? 71 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Every single person, including myself, made fun of Brian Kelly 72 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: for for installing the Southern draw when he went to 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Louisiana and he tried to say family and he couldn't 74 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: really say it because he's kind of a Northeast elite. 75 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Brian Kelly is 76 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: a big time football coach, a big time football coach, 77 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: And I looked up today and now l s U 78 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: is six and two. I text someone today like, are 79 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: you seeing Brian Kelly kick Lane's ass? Do you know 80 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: that he's about to be six and two? And the 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: response I get was like, I thought he was like 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: three and five honestly, so did I. I had no 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: clue that even going into this game. He was five 84 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: and two. He worked Lane kiff in today and now 85 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: he's six and two. Like Brian Kelly, wins everywhere he goes. 86 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if Jade Daniels his head coach or quarterback. 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter matter if Man Titaos his middle line, 88 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter players. Once upon a time when I 89 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: was in Fresdsmen State, we played his last season at 90 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati. I forget Tony Pike was his quarterback. 91 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: The tall like he wins with all sorts of people 92 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: because he's a winner. Steve Sarkisi and it's just I 93 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: wouldn't call him a loser, but he's just an average 94 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: football coach, just a very average football coach, and in 95 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: a program like Texas, which, let's face it, is a 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: little overrated in the grand scheme of the history of 97 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: the program. It's actually not Oklahoma when you look at 98 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: their success definitely over the last like forty years. But 99 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to the money and the finances and 100 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: the amount of money now that with n I L 101 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: they're paying for this team like part of the deal. 102 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: The Yankees are getting their ass kicked right now. The 103 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: reason people get piste off, like Yankee fans and Yankee management, 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: like should Aaron Boone get fired because of the money 105 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: they're paying their team? Right It's like, well, the more 106 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: money you have, the higher standards are. Yeah, I don't 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: hold like the little mom and pop shop at the 108 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: same levels as I do when I go to the 109 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: nicest steak restaurant in town. You charge me ten dollars 110 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: for a burrito, or you charge me, you know, a 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for a plate, Like I'm gonna have a 112 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: different standard on the way I judge you. And I 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: say the same thing with the University of Texas, like 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: they are spending way too much money to just blow 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: these games. And the reason they're blowing these games, in 116 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: my opinion, is their head coach who just blows games. 117 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: And look at l s U. They give Brian Kelly 118 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: ninety plus million dollars. Immediately they're relevant, Immediately they're competitive, 119 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: and immediately they're headed towards You know, I don't think 120 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: they'll probably go ten and two, but nine and three 121 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: just rattling off SEC wins now, So coaching matters. It 122 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: always has and it always will. Middlecuff mail back, Hey Man, 123 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: just wanted to let you know that the segment about 124 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Let's ride saying isn't made up. I 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: live in Denver and Denver and it's something they say 126 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: since Peyton Manning. It's supposed to be United in Orange 127 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: we ride. United in Orange we Ride. I just wanted 128 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: to let you know because I love your podcast, is 129 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: my first listen and don't want you to have misinformation. Well, 130 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: United in Orange We Ride is not Let's ride. And 131 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: what I said is I've never ever heard one person 132 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: say let's ride until Russell Wilson says it. So are 133 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: you saying that the saying is completely different. I haven't 134 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: been to Denver since Peyton Manning day, So do people 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: say let's ride in Denver? Like? Is that something they say? 136 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: Or is United an Orange We Ride? So Russell just 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: made up the statement. Like when the Warriors wins, Warriors 138 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: fans say go Dubs, players say go Dubs, Go Dubs 139 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: as part of the deal. Eagles like when the things 140 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: are going well, people say fly Eagles fly right. Alabama 141 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: roll tied. So if whenever Saving retires and Dabblo Sweeney 142 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, whoever takes over Alabama, they'll say roll tied, 143 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: just like next head coach of the Warriors will say, 144 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: go dubs. Next GM head coach in a long time 145 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: because Sirianny and how are your killing it for the 146 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: Eagles will say, fly, Eagles fly? Just what you say? 147 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: Who says let's ride like he's he made up a 148 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: statement based on a statement that, like you said, it's 149 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: only been around since two thousand and four. I don't know, man, 150 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: I I hear what you're saying. I don't find it misinformation. 151 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: If what you're saying is correct, and he just added 152 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: created a statement off another statement, then how many people 153 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: really you're saying when you go around like people say 154 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: in Orange we ride like that? That's that seems pretty complicated. 155 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: So I'm not you live it. I appreciate you listening, 156 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: but I don't know if I'm backing off my stance 157 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: on that one. Messaging you from my wife's account since 158 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't have I G love your show. I've been 159 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: listening for a while and now got my sister listening 160 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: as well. I appreciate you guys. We think you are hilarious. 161 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: To each other in voicemail. Anyway, I think you're Kyler 162 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: takes your spot on. However, when he was yelling at 163 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: Cliff on Thursday night, he was saying, calm the f down, 164 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: you're on TV. This got me thinking and I realized 165 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are on an in season hard knocks the season, 166 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: So maybe Kyler was protecting Cliff in this case. I'm 167 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: not a Kyler defender, but maybe this time he had 168 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: Cliff back. Keep up the great work, John, shout out 169 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: my brother Jordan's sweet sweat, Army Vett, appreciate you. Love 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: the American military. Thank you. Jordan's and starting safety of 171 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Of actually he's the starting safety of the Eagles. 172 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: Jordan's sweat fucking awesome. He's uh six three, has range 173 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: all around, stud what a badass. Uh, thank you for 174 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: your service. I guess I could see your theory right now. 175 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: I gotta completely disagree with Colin. Colin Kyler Nalpha because 176 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: he yelled like Collins take was listen. High intensity football 177 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: is not like our jobs. People yell at each other 178 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: all the time football. I never judge anyone in football 179 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: for yelling at each other. Right, Hell, I got screamed 180 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: at when I worked in college football, let alone in 181 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's uh, just like I say it all 182 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: the time. It's Wall Street on grass when you see 183 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: these movies in Wall Street. Everyone getting screamed at football 184 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: is the same way that they're not the same if 185 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: you walk into most office you know setups where people 186 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: are just very passive aggressive. But I gotta push back 187 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: on Kyler being like some alpha I think they've questioned 188 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: his leadership, they've questioned his uh you know, teammates even 189 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: liking him. And listen, I'm not saying he's It's one 190 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: thing like yelling at Bill Parcelves or BELTI. He is 191 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: yelling at Cliff Kingsbury, who I don't think that good 192 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: of a coach either, But like as Kyler earned the 193 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: benefit of out, like they're constantly yelling at each other. 194 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: It's just kind of bizarre. Now, I guess you could 195 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: be right that it's because of hard knocks, but I 196 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't really think that deeply of it 197 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: beside like why are these guys always yelling at each other? 198 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: And why is Kyler always yelling at Cliff like he's 199 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: the village idiot and Kyler like Pete And here's Collins 200 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: take was like when Peyton Manning yelled at uh uh, 201 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: what's his name? I want to say, Matt Saturday, I 202 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: forget the fun I'm I think I'm losing my mind. 203 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday the center, remember that famous like NFL films. Click, Yeah, 204 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: he's Peyton Manning. Like Peyton Anning and Tom Brady can 205 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: kind of scream at you like Kyler. It's like, yo, bro, 206 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: you've been terrible this year and remember when you laid 207 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: an egg the second half of last year and we're 208 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: one of the worst playoff games we've ever seen. Like 209 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is allowed to yell at you, right, that's 210 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: justin Verlander is allowed to scream at an offensive player 211 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: on his team. Steph Curry is allowed to scream at somebody? 212 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Is Kyler? You know? When things are going well? I 213 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: don't know, Trey Lance. That's all I think about when 214 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: I heard about the trade money picks. My question is 215 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: how many weeks is this gonna? Is this going to play? 216 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: How can I be optimistic as an Ironer fan? Uh, 217 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: that's a good question from Robert Ortiz. He's an artist, 218 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: looks like give him a fall back, like my man 219 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: Robert One thing. I I was on a walk this 220 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: morning with the dog, and you know, it's kind of sad. 221 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: You just end up thinking about like things like the 222 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: forty Niners trade deeply and I was texting with a 223 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: buddy and I do wonder if part of this trade aid. 224 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: Obviously it's about they like Christian McCaffrey. He's under contracts, 225 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: so this isn't a rental and they have him for 226 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: several years under contract, and to like now there are 227 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: no excuses whenever Trey Lance is able to play, to 228 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: get Deebo, Samuel Brandon, Aiyuk, George Kittle, Trent Williams, and 229 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and like four other running backs because Elijah 230 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: Mitchell's a sixth round pick. Wilson Jr. Is Not going anywhere, 231 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: and they drafted ty Davis Price. So it's like, I 232 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: don't know how many more weapons we can give you, Like, 233 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: look at Justin Fields. He might not be good, but 234 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is thrown to me, and you like, hey, hey, 235 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: when Tray, whenever you do come back up, this injury 236 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: you're inheriting. I mean, a pretty incredible group. I don't 237 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: know if it's quite Hill and Kelsey, but you would 238 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: say top to bottom it's deeper than Hill and Kelsey. 239 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: What mahomes got to walk into or some of the players, 240 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, Jordan's Justin, Herbert got Keenan Allen, Mike Williams 241 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: and good players obviously Josh Allen. They've accumulated players over 242 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: the years. Same with Lamar, but Deebo, Samuel Rage, Kittle, Brandon, 243 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: I you Christian McCaffrey, Yes, I I think it puts 244 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Trey because it's like, we 245 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: can't really blame Kyle if Trey is not good next year. 246 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: It's like bro any decent quarterback could make this work. 247 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: I'll be in Scottsdale on November two through the six. 248 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm a twenty plus handicapper. What courses would you suggest? 249 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: I'll be playing by myself unless you would like to join. 250 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm not a psycho uh in drinking tons of titos. 251 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: Just want to get suggestions. Well, you know, twenty if 252 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: if you were like, uh, you know, if you were 253 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: like a Tanner under, I would definitely play plenty twas 254 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: that's kind of I don't know if I can do that. No, 255 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, but I don't know if your handicap necessarily 256 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: should impact like the courses you have money. If you 257 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: have money, I would recommend playing the nicer courses. I'd 258 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,119 Speaker 1: go play TPC Scotts Tale, I would go play the Phoenician, 259 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: I would go play True, I would go play some 260 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: of the iron courses. If you truly don't, if you 261 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: don't have that much money and really don't care that 262 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: much about golf, just go to golf now and find 263 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, the cheapest courses. Uh trying to. There's one 264 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: kind of in my backyard where I'm at right now 265 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: in Paradise Valley, Silverado. It's kind of a Munich course. 266 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: Actually not that terrible. I played yesterday Legends Trails in 267 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: North Scottsdale. Now that was two d bucks. Here's the 268 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: one thing that I'm realizing in Scottsdale is like, ultimately 269 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: I want to join a country club out here, which 270 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be a little while. I probably buy a 271 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: house first. Is that the courses in the summer, because 272 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: it's so hot and so many people are Pansy's. You 273 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: can play the best courses for eighty bucks in degree 274 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: heat in the afternoon in the winter when the snowbirds 275 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: come home. The average course that's solid, let alone good, 276 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: is like two three fifty dollars and they are packed. 277 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: It's not like, well, it's inflation, you know, it's just inflation. No, 278 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: it's just these courses are jammed. These are five hour rounds. 279 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: So I you know, if you don't care about golf, 280 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: just go to uh, go to golf. Now.

In my opinion, 314 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: these new coverage stadiums are ruining TV viewer experience by 315 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: creating ugly shadows caused by their glass roofs during day games. 316 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: Due to the weird shadows, it's hard to spot the ball. 317 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: I try to avoid games from so far. The new 318 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: Viking Stadium and especially Dallas yuck. It's pretty jarring and disconcerting. 319 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: As an NFL insider, do you feel the same way? 320 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: What about players? But as casual fans me and my 321 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: buddies field, it's definitely annoying. I had this take the 322 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: other day, when did the Rams? Did the Rams play 323 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: in night game? Recently? They play Monday night Football. I 324 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: I just remember watching, Oh it is the Chargers. I 325 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: was like, well the Rams, I don't remember they're playing money. 326 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, they share a stadium. Actually 327 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: they don't share a stadium. Cronky owns it and he 328 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: rents it to Dean for a dollar. And I was 329 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: watching Chargers Broncos and I was thinking, I don't like 330 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: the stadium at night. It's too well lit. And part 331 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: of it is because it's not a you know, a 332 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: normal roof. It's kind of actually open. It didn't feel 333 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: like a night game. And then I was watching the 334 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals game. I think the Cardinals game is fantastic when 335 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: it's super dark at night. I think the Cardinals game 336 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: on TV or the Cardinal Stadium on TV is elite. 337 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: Now here's what I will say about so far. It's 338 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: the most remarkable building I've ever been in my entire life. 339 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking hotels, I'm talking the Vatican, I'm talking sports arenas. 340 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: Now I've never been to Wrigley or Fenway or Lambeau, 341 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: so I mean, I haven't been to everything, but I 342 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: so far, when you factor in modern I'm not talking 343 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: like relics or just like sweet places with a bunch 344 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: of history. I'm talking brand new starting the last like 345 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: fifteen years. The sweetest building I've ever been in my 346 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: entire life anything obviously the Vatican and you know Lambeau, 347 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: some of the older stadium. I'm not comparing it to 348 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: old stuff, but it it doesn't it looks weird day night. 349 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you. It doesn't pop on TV. It's a 350 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: better in person at experience then it is on television. 351 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I would be in agreement. And I think 352 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: the same thing about the Viking Stadium. Now what the 353 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Viking Stadium has that Sofi doesn't have, Why it's a 354 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: good television product. Home Field is elite. This is the 355 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: same thing with the Saints. Same thing when the cults 356 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: were really good with Peyton Manning is if you give 357 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: me an indoor crowd which is really into their team 358 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: because their team is good and just die hard fans, 359 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: I can kind of live with it. But I'm with 360 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: you on the sofa lighting, the Dallas the shadows. Maybe 361 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: I'm a little numb to shadows as a West Coast 362 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: baseball guy. You know, like when you watch a Dodger 363 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: game or Giants game or a Padre game, you know 364 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,239 Speaker 1: that five o'clock, you know the shadows. I don't know. 365 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: I'm less bothered by the shadows and more about the lighting. 366 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: But I'm glad other people notice that type of stuff 367 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: like I do. Lifelong Seattle Seahawks fan Homebrenn, Carroll and 368 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: Russ brought relevancy to an often forgotten Pacific Northwest. I 369 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: actually don't think you guys are forgotten as much as 370 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: you act. You know, I love you. Know you guys 371 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: act like you guys just kind of irrelevant. I feel 372 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: like we talk. You know, Oregon is a major university 373 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: that's talked about all the time. I see Portland's a 374 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: pretty relevant city. I see Seattle is a pretty relevant city. 375 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: I feel like you guys get talked about. Now, Are 376 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: you relevant like l A, New York or Chicago? No? 377 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: But I think sometimes you act like you're fucking Mississippi, Like, 378 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: come on, guys, now, it's not really my cup of tea, 379 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: a little too cold, little too wet. But anyone who's 380 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: been to Seattle's like, God, this place is a pretty badass. 381 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: So a little push back there, but I hear you. 382 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta keep a chip on your shoulder. 383 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: I decided to take Carol side as a rust became 384 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: a little pre Madonna late in his career. Six weeks 385 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: in the season. It looks like I picked the right side. 386 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: Question for you, do you think Russ can ever let 387 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: his ego take the hit and go back to playing 388 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll football, run first money to the defense. If not, 389 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: what can Denver do to mitigate the two U fifty 390 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: million hit on the salary gap. Well, it's actually not 391 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: two nifty millions, only the guaranteed money. But I know 392 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: what you're saying. So happy the Hawks bailed and trusted 393 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: Schneider and Carol to rebuild the team. Looks like they 394 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: had another insane draft. I didn't realize both Seattle's tackles 395 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: or rookies. Um here's what I will say, looking back 396 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: over the totality of the situation. John Schneider was so 397 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: ahead of the curve in two thousand eighteen, he was prepared. 398 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: If the Browns would have given in to trade Russell 399 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: Wilson for Josh Allen, that would have been one of 400 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: the biggest pivot points seminal moments in the history of football, 401 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: because at the time Russell was viewed as a superstar. 402 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: Trading for the number one overall pick and take Josh 403 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: Allen three or four years later, John Schneider would look 404 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: like the greatest general manager in the history of sports. 405 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: That would have been one of the balls. He would 406 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: have made the two ballsiest moves of all time, drafting 407 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: Russell in the third round, which I guess wasn't that ballsy, 408 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: but it just worked out really well that that would 409 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: have been one of the craziest trades in the history 410 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: of my life any sport. Uh So, yeah, they were 411 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: you know someone it was a d M I read 412 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: that hit me up about I forget the guy's name. 413 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: He was like a trusted mental coach, and he was 414 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: Russ's guy. I think he worked with a lot of 415 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: not just high end athletes, businessmen, anyone that could afford him, 416 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: and he was elite. And he passed away I want 417 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: to say in the last twenty four months. It could 418 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: have been even three or four years. And this guy 419 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: basically just hit me in my d M s which 420 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: is a fan of Seattle, and said, you should look 421 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: into I wonder if that's when Russell changed. And I 422 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: we just d M back and forth, and my my 423 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: pushback was, you know, Marshawn Richard Sherman and that whole 424 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: group of guys, we're talking shit about the guy. Like 425 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: early on in his career they thought he was kind 426 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: of weird. And when you hear these stories about like 427 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: having to call his you know, executive assistant when you're 428 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: his friend, or him bringing security guards to his tournament 429 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: that every person there is invited by Russell, like I 430 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: don't give you in part of being a grown up. 431 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I always struggle with this one. It's like 432 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: I hate, and I mean hate cheap people with money, 433 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: Like you're allowed to be cheap when you don't have 434 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: much money. And I think a lot of people that 435 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: get rich that grow up poor be like, well, it's 436 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: just ingrained in me. Well you're allowed to say that 437 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: the first couple of years that you're rich. But like 438 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: when you're fifty and you've been rich for twenty years 439 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: and you're still cheap, Like now you're just kind of 440 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: a scumbag, you know, like you don't get to be like, well, 441 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: I just lost this guy, Like yeah, you know, it's 442 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: like we all lose a parent or lose someone who's 443 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: a mentor to us, and you can't be like ten 444 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: years later, you know, I've just my head has never 445 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: been right, Like yeah, you kind of gotta you gotta 446 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: gotta get it together, right, You kind of gotta shake 447 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: it off. You kind of gotta figure it out as 448 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: an adult. It's one thing to be in your teens 449 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: or even your early twenties, but like once you're like 450 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: thirty and over, like I'm sorry, you know, you gotta 451 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: figure it out and mature. You can't keep holding on something. 452 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Russell is, but I hate that. 453 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: Nothing drives me more, just makes me sicker than cheap 454 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: rich people that have been rich for a while too. 455 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: It's like, I I just think you're kind of a 456 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: loser big time. Like I love Tiger Woods, I really do. 457 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: But the story of him not buying cheeseburgers for all 458 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: the Navy seals and he's historically cheap, I think so's 459 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: Lebron Like, yeah, you guys grow up poor, but now 460 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: you've been super rich for a long period of time, 461 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: Like there's just a way to act and way not 462 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: to act. Now, it's a hard part once you become 463 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: the one everyone's you know, kind of mooching off of 464 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: who's gonna tell you, Like, yeah, you probably shouldn't do that. 465 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: It's really just on your parents, your mom and let's 466 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: face it, her dad, and let's face it, when you 467 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: get so rich, you don't really have to listen to anybody, 468 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: including them, So that that bothers me. It really does. 469 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Pet peeve of mine. I love the podcast gets me 470 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: through the work. There. Do you think Staley could possibly 471 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: be fired after the season if barely makes the playoffs. 472 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: I don't uh he'd have back to back seasons. Let's 473 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: say he wins ten or eleven games of nine wins 474 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: and tenor eleven wins. This because Dean Spanos a guy 475 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: who not he's been rich his whole life because the 476 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: money wasn't his. He inherited all. He was born into 477 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: the life.

Too cheap, And I think the thing 494 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: I think being cheap what you once like, especially once 495 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: you have money, is kind of It's like a disease. 496 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: You can't shake it. It's who It's ingrained in who 497 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: you are. And I think Dean can't even fathom paying 498 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: a coach fifteen plus million, cutting a check to a 499 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: football coach making that much money. That makes him sick. 500 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: Give Mike Brown, the owner of the Cincinnati Bengals credit, 501 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: another guy who inherited. It all very old school and 502 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: never ever wanted to sell the naming rights of his building, 503 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: which sounds pretty archaic, stupid, moronic. I mean, we we 504 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: could describe it a lot of different ways, but old 505 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: school people, it's hard for them to change their ways. 506 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 1: I'll give him credit on this one. He didn't go 507 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: to his his grave with that mindset. They're selling the 508 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: naming rights to their stadium. Now it's a little late, yes, 509 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: but did he ultimately pivot. You gotta give the guy credit. 510 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: Do I ever see Dean pivoting and paying up Sean 511 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: Payton five years a hundred million dollars? Say this from 512 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Mark Davis, who who didn't? I mean, he's never a job. 513 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I think he's even admitted that inherited this team late 514 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: in his life, realized they needed some momth they needed 515 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: some cash at it backfired. He doesn't even have any money, 516 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, relative to these other guys, especially relative Dean 517 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: Spans gave John Gruden a hundred million dollars. At least 518 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: he's taking big swings. Never understand owners that don't take 519 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: big swings that have the money. Makes me sick. Okay, 520 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: last question pasts fan here. I've heard you talk about 521 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: a nauseum how bad New England's two thousand two draft was. 522 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: I don't think I I don't think I talked that 523 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: nauseum about it. I just questioned the cold Strange pick 524 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: on the value that a lot of people think that 525 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: they over picked them. The draft is not and obviously 526 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: Cold Strange has been really good. Let me finish this question. Well, 527 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: fast forward a few months, Cold Strange has stud Taykewan 528 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: Thornton looks solid, Jack Jones is study, and Bailey's appy 529 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: looks sweet. You doubling down or wanted walking it back. 530 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: I never said anything about any other player. I didn't 531 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: I didn't know who Tekewan Thornton or Jack Jones were. 532 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: My simple take was on Cold Strange and value, and 533 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: most people thought that Cold Strange was not a top 534 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: fifty player. Like do you get credit if your house 535 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: is worth right now or not now because the housing 536 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: markets crushing, but last year if your home was worth 537 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars or excuse me, a million dollars. 538 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: A lot of people, you know, if you live in 539 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: bigger cities or certain states, it's not And I know 540 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: some people listening like, damn home, million dollars, Like where 541 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: I lived in the Bay Area, a million dollars, a 542 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: ship banger, even Scottsdale, where I'm at right now. A 543 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: million dollars does not buy you what it used to. 544 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: But I don't give you that much credit for a 545 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: million dollar home. If you paid eight thousand dollars for 546 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: the home, right it's like, oh, you made a couple 547 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. But I give like some of these 548 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: people flipping home for a million bucks. They bought the 549 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: house for two hundred thousand dollars, Like, damn, it's a goodbye. 550 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: It's a good flip. That's a that's a good return 551 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: on your investment. The the the draft is a market place, 552 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: so coal strangers stud But if I could have drafted 553 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: him at pick eight instead of pick twenty nine or 554 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: where or thirty wherever they picked them thirty one, I 555 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: forget the exact number. That was my beef. Now I 556 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: had never watched him play. I didn't give my opinion 557 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: on the player, right, It's about what do I have 558 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: to pay for a player to get him, as much 559 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: as getting the right player or getting a good player. 560 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: It's about the value on what you're paying for the 561 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: guy based on draft picks, which is the capital of 562 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: every team in the draft. That is the cow pital 563 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: that you go into in these in you know those 564 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: three days, how many picks you have, how much you're 565 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: willing to pay. So it's the stock market, it's the 566 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: housing market for players. And the way the reaction I 567 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: got from people around the league was they just didn't 568 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: need to draft him. There, remember Sean McVeigh laughing. They 569 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: liked him, they just would have drafted him in the 570 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: third round. Now. I know some people said I thought 571 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: he was a late second round pick. Whatever, it's yeah, 572 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: he's a good player. Now, Bill, my if he was 573 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: sitting here, it's like I tried to trade back. I 574 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: couldn't have and that's information I don't have. So I've 575 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: already apologized for betting against Bill. But I still think like, 576 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: even if they make the playoffs, a lot of paths 577 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: fans are gonna make. Everyone knows Joe Judge and Matt 578 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: Patrician apology. I don't think we do, because if those 579 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: guys were fired tomorrow, there is not a team in 580 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: the NFL or college. They would hire Joe Judge maybe 581 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: in college, but Matt Patrician to be their offensive coordinator 582 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: and Joe Judged to be their quarterback coach. In the NFL, 583 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: there is not one that that's a fact. That's a fact. 584 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: So I will apologize to Bill. One thing you learn 585 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: is you bet against greates. You know a lot of 586 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 1: people like, oh, the Warriors are shot. Now they got 587 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. He's gonna bend over the entire league. He's 588 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: gonna win a championship and you know what, this year 589 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: will probably win another one and don't have more championships 590 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: in Lebron. You could argue already does if you don't 591 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: count the Bubble Championship, which I don't really, but that's 592 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: a whole another argument. But when you bet against Grates, 593 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: you'll usually get burned, and that that is potentially the 594 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,239 Speaker 1: mistake I made is shorting Bill Belichick, because as long 595 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: as Bill Belichick really gives a ship and he clearly 596 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: really cares, his team is never gonna suck. It's just impossible. 597 00:31:41,400 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter who's on the roster, the volume
