00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: We are officially a week away from the draft. God,

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: that is awesome. Time flies. I wanted to dive in

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: just why this thing is so popular because I, I'm sure,

26
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: like many of you, have loved this event for a

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: long long time, and I think I have a sneaky

28
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: suspicion given the quarterbacks high in this draft, given the markets,

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: this is going to be one of the highest rated

30
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: drafts of all time. And this event's only going to

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: grow and grow, and it's already massive. Belichick join McAfee

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: today and he displayed something that I've been saying he

33
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: should do for a long long time, his personality, and

34
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: wanted to dive into some thoughts there. Joe Alt the

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: top potential left tackle, who is a left tackle from

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, not gonna lie. I have a little buyer

37
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: beware on the individual, and the NBA banned a guy

38
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: for life for gambling, and I wanted to discuss why

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: I think the overreaction to this is by all the

40
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Big Jays is kind of funny. Also, the Middlecoff mailbag

41
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms,

56
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: not too far away, but this kind of kicks off summer,

58
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: the draft, then the sun's out and it's hot and OTAs.

82
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: WNBA was up over three hundred their draft. Obviously, Caitlin

83
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Clark went number one. It's like she's like Bitcoin, just

84
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: keeps going up and up. Obviously, she is a very

85
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: unique character. Nobody relative to what just witnessed the draft. Hell,

86
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I even watched the first couple of picks. I never

87
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: would watch the WNBA draft and I'll probably never watch

88
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: it again, but she got me there. She's an outlier.

89
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: She's a Tiger Woods. She's a Michael Jordan. Now I'm

90
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: not saying she's gonna be that as a pro, but

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: the hype what she has meant to her sport. Very

92
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: very unique character. The NFL Draft has always been a

93
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: big deal. I've loved the NFL Draft since i was

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: a kid. I would imagine many people listening to this

95
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: also loved it. I've never really related to like, I'm

96
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: not a college football guy. I'm only an NFL guy.

97
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Those days are kind of dying with the I would

98
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: say explosion in popularity in college football. But I love

99
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: college football. I love the NFL. It's an easy transition

100
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: to watch the draft, watch the players that you have

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: watch four years and one thing college football has that now,

102
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: for example, basketball doesn't have is consistency. Now guys transfer,

103
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: but players have to stay in college minimum three years.

104
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: And the majority of guys that get drafted high are

105
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: prominent programs that are prominent on television. So we have

106
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: seen them play Michigan, Ohio State, USC, Alabama, LSU, Georgia,

107
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, all Oregon, Washington, all the cast, Texas, Oklahoma,

108
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: the cast of characters. Like the top teams typically have

109
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: the most guys in the given Draft's why this year

110
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Michigan is going to have you know, potentially seventeen eighteen

111
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: guys drafted. Washington could have nine to ten guys drafted.

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: That's thirty players from two teams that played in the

113
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: National Championship. Twenty plus million people watch the National Championship.

114
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: But I read this, my guy Ethan Strauss, who covered

115
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: the NBA for a long time and now is like

116
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: this hybrid rites about television rating, social issue. It's just fascinating. Reeves.

117
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: He's a very very smart guy, graduated from CALP. I've

118
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: never read anyone like him. He's got a substack. It's

119
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: the only sub stack I currently pay for, and it's

120
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: just fantastic. Every time I read it. And he wrote

121
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: recently about the kind of death of baseball, and I

122
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: think you could put on a bigger level basketball in

123
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: this that if people stop watching your regular season, you

124
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: can't just expect them to come when the postseason starts.

125
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: And that's you know, kind of born out these last

126
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: several years, that the diminishing product of people not watching

127
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: for five six months in the regular season, they don't

128
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: just show up in the playoffs. I love golf, absolutely

129
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: love it. I love it as much as football, the majors.

130
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: I like every bit as much as playoff games. I've

131
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: never been naive would be the wrong way to put it,

132
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know arrogant enough to act like it's

133
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: any bigger than it is. It's a niche sport, always

134
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: has been. Tiger wasn't, but everyone else in my life

135
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: time definitely has been. But I enjoy it. But the

136
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: other day it was you know, reported that the Masters

137
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: were down twenty percent. Well, their regular tournaments have been down.

138
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: So is it that shocking that if people aren't watching

139
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the regular events, the build up to the big events

140
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: isn't as much. I'm sure many people saw across somewhere

141
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: on social media that there was a report out there

142
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: that Rory turned down eight hundred and fifty million dollars. Now,

143
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: who knows if that's true. My personal take is I

144
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: think people are kind of exhausted with that conversation. Most

145
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: people are not millionaires. Most people with inflation, I mean,

146
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: are struggling to go to the grocery store and get

147
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: two meals for their family under one hundred dollars, right,

148
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: So I just think people are tired of it, and

149
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: it's come to fruition that less people watch the Masters.

150
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: It's not an opinion, that's a fact. Not shocked by

151
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: it at all. I watched basically every shot, but people didn't.

152
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: And I understand why what football has that these other

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: sports don't is we love the regular season, same thing

154
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: college football, because it builds up to the playoffs. And

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: obviously the regular season games have historic amounts of people watching,

156
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: and then the playoffs double triple that. Obviously, the Super

157
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Bowl has always been a massive, massive event in this country.

158
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: But if you think about it, like if you're watching

159
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: a television show or watching a movie that you've never seen,

160
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: you would never just skip to the end to see

161
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: how the thing finishes. You want to watch it through

162
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: the build up to the ending. Same thing with a book.

163
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: You don't skip to the last twenty pages of a

164
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: book you've never read or listen to For us audio

165
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: book guys, you listen to it throughout, so the build

166
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: up of the characters, the build up of whatever you're

167
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: listening to. For the finale, however, it's going to end.

168
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: And that's what football has become. You have to watch

169
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the regular season, the ebbs and the flows and people

170
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: do for the finish, right, which is the playoffs, which

171
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: is awesome because of the one and done mentality. Listen,

172
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest NBA guy anymore, but the play

173
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: in games were kind of captivating. The Laker game, in

174
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: the Warrior game, like I was interested. Why because they

175
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: were real stakes. But I think with the draft what

176
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: makes it fascinating is that when I was a kid,

177
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: college basketball was really big and superstar player, Shack Allen Iverson,

178
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: you name it. The overwhelming majority of guys in my

179
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: youth in the nineties didn't just play college basketball. They

180
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: played it for several years, so you knew about the

181
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: character and most of them played in prominent programs, so

182
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: you had a base when they were drafted. And if

183
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: you think about this upcoming draft, think about like the

184
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: top ten players were talking about. Think about Caleb Williams

185
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: has played at USC and Oklahoma. JJ McCarthy was the

186
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for Jim Harbaugh and the national champion Michigan Wolverines.

187
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Drake May you say, was a little un under the

188
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: radar because he played at North Carolina, but because of

189
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: the sport he plays, and we've been hearing about his

190
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: name for a couple of years. And Jane Daniels won

191
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy at LSU. I would say a top

192
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: three or four program in the country. I'm not saying

193
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: on a given year. I'm just saying, in the totality

194
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: of college football, especially in my lifetime, three different coaches

195
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: have won national championships there in the last twenty years.

196
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: That's a remarkable accomplishment. Saban Eddio and Les Miles like

197
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: that is a powerhouse program. And then you just factor

198
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: in other players. Marvin Harrison junior, he's fucking Marvin Harrison's

199
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: kid and started Ohio State. Even Joe Alt, who will

200
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: get into was a star tackle at Notre Dame. So

201
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: you have this build up. You already know about the

202
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: characters that get inserted into the television show, which is

203
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, so they're not just random. Now, obviously random

204
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: guys come. We see it every year in the draft,

205
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: a random fifth round or an undrafted free agents, a

206
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: seventh rounder that you didn't really watch in college that

207
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: played at some random school Kansas State or whatever. And

208
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: if you're not a Big twelve fan, you've never really

209
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: seen them play, and he becomes a really good player.

210
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: But for a lot of the guys, we've seen them

211
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: play in college several times. And I think that's something

212
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: the NFL has that just these other leagues. And this

213
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: is why the separation is only going to continue. So

214
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing like Draft Night because it is pretty pure guys,

215
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: just your team gets to add players. It's one I

216
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: remember how we used to say this all the time.

217
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: We only have several times a year when we get

218
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: to add players. Free agency starts, the draft, and during

219
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: training camp when guys are cut, and obviously at the

220
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: end of training camp when you trim down your roster.

221
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: So it doesn't happen year round. Now, obviously, on the margins,

222
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: you can claim a guy or make a trade, but

223
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: for the most part, the big time to make talent

224
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: acquisition are the three moments, free agency, the draft, and

225
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: the major cutdown. So the difference here relative to the

226
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: major cutdown like a guy's getting cut here. When you

227
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: draft a guy in the first or second round, there's

228
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: not only hope, but it's like, damn, we just drafted

229
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Roma doonsay the star wide receiver from Washington that I've

230
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: watched play five times? Or damn we just watched Brock Bowers,

231
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: who I know a lot about and you just can't

232
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: fake that. Getting back to Caitlin Clark, one thing she

233
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: has is we know a lot about her. We've been

234
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: watching her play now for a couple of years. She

235
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: has a lot of built in equity with us. Listen,

236
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Steph Curry and the Warriors dynasty probably ended last night.

237
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Now you could argue it was already over, but Klay Thompson,

238
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I would say, is not going to be back on

239
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors. But one thing that Steph had that a

240
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys don't have anymore is when he got

241
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: to the Warriors. Now, no one, even the Warriors, never

242
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: thought that he would turn out to be I don't

243
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: know a top ten player of all time and one

244
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: of the most transcendent, unique talents we've ever seen any

245
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: But we all knew a lot about him because of

246
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament we had followed his career. He was

247
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: a built in character, so there was momentum building as

248
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: his career ascended. Going back to Michael Jordan, same thing.

249
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: The dude hit the game winning shot in the National

250
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: Championship when he was a freshman. Even Tiger Woods, you

251
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: don't have to watch amateur golf to know everyone's saying,

252
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: this guy's a can't miss gonna be one of the

253
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: all time greats. He had just won the US Amateur

254
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: three times, he had been on television show since he

255
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: was like three years old. People have been talking about him.

256
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: Even if you don't you can't stand golf. There wasn't

257
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: a soul of age in the late to mid nineties

258
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: that didn't know or heard of Tiger Woods. And that's

259
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: what the NFL brings us next Thursday. Is a bunch

260
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: of guys we know a lot about going to a

261
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: bunch of teams that we all watch seventeen times a year.

262
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: And I love this event, can never get enough of

263
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: and I just can't wait till Thursday. Another reason I

264
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: can't wait till Thursday is Belichick will be on with McAfee.

265
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: And I said this when Belichick didn't get the Atlanta

266
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Falcons job, that I think Belichick won the perception of him,

267
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: let's face it, being a dictator, tough to work with,

268
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: and let's face it a lot. I don't necessarily agree

269
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: with this because I think we all can be this

270
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: way asshole, miserable, curmudgeon and listen, some of it's definitely

271
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: probably true, but that he just sucks and he's not

272
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: a head coach in the NFL. Now, maybe it's that

273
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: he's seventy three years old, maybe that he had to

274
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: be the GM. I don't know, but it is nuts

275
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: when you just look at the coaching picture that Bill

276
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: Belichick isn't there. He's been in the league since nineteen

277
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: seventy five, like I'm sorry, kind of knows what he's doing.

278
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: It's why I'm shorting the Patriots. I think they are

279
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: going to be a debacle the next couple of years.

280
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: Could be wrong. But if I had to place one

281
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: strong bet, I feel the strongest on that, and I'd

282
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: probably bet on Harbaugh and the Chargers being successful, right,

283
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: even everyone betting on the Bears, I wouldn't feel great

284
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: about it. Their history would show it's still pretty risky.

285
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: But I think you saw if you go, and I

286
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: would recommend this because the bellcheck we got forever in

287
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: the press conferences when he was wearing a hoodie New

288
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: England Patriot or his classic like kind of blue button

289
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: up and he said nothing. And he was mostly pretty

290
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: awful in those press conferences, besides when he'd randomly get

291
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: asked about a special team player, or he'd go on

292
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: some long, you know, diatribe about how the winless whatever

293
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: team he was playing in December, actually has a lot

294
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: of talent, and everyone would make fun of him. He

295
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: has a big personality. And I've been you know, no

296
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: people that have not only worked there, that have played there,

297
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: and they're like the guy that you see off camera

298
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: dealing with us is a lot different than the guy

299
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: that you just see in the fifteen minute snippets of

300
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: the press conferences. It's why I was a big believer

301
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: in the easiest way to change his perception. Now, maybe

302
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: he's a lock to get a job next year, maybe

303
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: he's not. I mean, he just had his birthdays he's

304
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: gonna be seventy four next year. I mean, that's I'm sorry.

305
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: Even though coaches are definitely younger than the majority of

306
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: like seventy four year olds, just because they spend most

307
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: of their time around younger people, there's a vibe like

308
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's the same age. They don't feel that old

309
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: when you hear them talk. But I probably not a

310
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: shoein is to find a way on the Amazon broadcast.

311
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: He is too good to be on pregame shows. That's

312
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: a waste. Reality is I'm not watching that, and neither

313
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: are most owners. Why their team is at a game,

314
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: but there are two games that every owner watches, every

315
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: owner beside the two playing in the game. That's Thursday

316
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: night and Monday night, even night. A lot of the

317
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: league is traveling back and not able to watch the game,

318
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: but every owner and every decision maker is at home

319
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: on Thursday night and Monday night. Well, Monday night's set.

320
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: They gave one hundred and fifty million dollars to buckan Akman.

321
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: That was the right move, but Thursday night, let's face

322
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: it is not. I've said forever. Kirk kurb Street's the

323
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: stud love him. On college football, I don't think he's

324
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: that great. Him and now don't have great chemistry. If

325
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: I was a Amazon, I would be all over Belichick

326
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: and try to get him involved in that broadcast. And

327
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: I also think Bill, like if you watch him on

328
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: mcafeel like, he's kind of a different guy. Now. I'm

329
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: not saying he's mister Lucy Goosey. He's not mister politician there,

330
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: but he's very easy to watch and his depth of

331
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: knowledge is insane. Matt Ruhle, who listen. We can say

332
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: what we want about Matt rules the NFL coach. It

333
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: was a debacle. He's a good college coach. He is.

334
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine Nebraska in the next couple of years

335
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: is going to be much more competitive. Are they ever

336
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: going to be a playoff team? I don't know, but

337
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: they are much more likely to win eight to nine

338
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: games in the near future than they are to be

339
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: some shit team in which they've been. Matt Ruhle said

340
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: that he had Bill come to their operation and spend

341
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: a day with the coaches. He said, I don't know

342
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: if he was in the front of the room, back

343
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: of the room when he was talking. I don't know

344
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: if he was talking to the entire group, or just

345
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: the defense that Matt Rule said he was embarrassed. I

346
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: was embarrassed that I'm a head coach and I don't

347
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: know a tenth of what this guy is talking about.

348
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: That's how crazy, how much this guy knows the only

349
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: way for Bill to give that to the ownership is

350
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: to put it on display. And I just hope it

351
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it's going to happen, but I think

352
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: that would have been the move. There was another story

353
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: that came out today. I think there was a long

354
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: like one of those classic big Jay Wickersham does a

355
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: really good job like the ESPN guys. Basically one of

356
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: the lines about Belichick and the hiring process and how

357
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: he didn't get the Atlanta job and how it kind

358
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: of ended in New England is that Bob and definitely

359
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: Jonathan Craft bad moutholm to Arthur Smith. Now listen, anytimes

360
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: things end in football, in any business with rich, big

361
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: ego guys, it's gonna be ugly. I've defended Bill like

362
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: I understand Robert Craft. You can have any opinion you want.

363
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: You figured out a way to start from nothing, make money,

364
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: buy the team, and you hired Belichick Jonathan Craft inherited

365
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: this entire life, which I'm not one of those people

366
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: that like looks down on people just because they're born

367
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: into a situation. Right. I've known a lot of people

368
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: born in situations that are very capable. Right, I've known

369
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people not born in the situations that

370
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: aren't capable to fucking walk a dog across the street.

371
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: So where you're born, like I, successful people can come

372
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: from all walks of life. Peyton Manning was born rich,

373
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: Steph Curry was born rich. Listen, there are gonna be

374
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of owners that you know, take over in

375
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: the NFL that are impressive, guys that their fathers made

376
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: the money, and then they are gonna be guys that

377
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: are kind of clowns. I don't blame Belichick for not

378
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: respecting that guy. I'm not a big Jonathan Craft guy.

379
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: Just from reading things about him, watching the documentary that felt,

380
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, his dad's eighty plus years old, it does

381
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like Jonathan Craft has a bandet

382
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: against Belichick. And one of the things that said in

383
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: there is he basically bad mouth Belichick to Arthur Smith

384
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: to essentially not hire the guy. I would say this

385
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: the Patriot dynasty and their wealth. A large percentage of

386
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: their name power has come from the success of the

387
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: football team, which we know they had absolutely nothing to

388
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: do with. They've even admitted we never told Bill what

389
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: to do, even with Brady. The one time they kind

390
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: of like, you got to you gotta trade Jimmy Garoppolo.

391
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: But they ended up a couple years later letting Brady walk. Anyway,

392
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: they gave this guy carte blanche to be in full control,

393
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: and he made that family name not only very famous,

394
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: not only very successful, but an NFL champ with Tom

395
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. So if I'm Bill

396
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: like and it's obviously just based on his coaching history,

397
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: he can be very spiteful. He can be very petty.

398
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I would hate those guys, specifically the kid I already

399
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: didn't respect him. I would have a vandetta and revenge

400
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: of doing everything possible to get back in the league

401
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: so I could play that guy again. Because the Patriots,

402
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: i think the other day, tweeted out Happy Birthday, Bill.

403
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: It's like, guys, you guys are trying a little too hard.

404
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to dive in really quick that I'm not

405
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: going to break down the offensive lineman, like the defensive linemen,

406
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and the wide receivers. But I do think

407
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: joelt is really interesting. Now full disclosure, I don't love

408
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: six eight and above tackles. That's a little tall for

409
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: my taste. I like my tackle to be in the

410
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: six ' five, six four and a half, maybe six six,

411
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: like that's kind of the prime range. The Trent Williams,

412
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: the Lane Johnson's, Jason Peters, Tyrone Smith. I'm not looking

413
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: for a power forward in the NBA here in twenty

414
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: twenty four. That's really a center. But you know what

415
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean. And everyone widely kind of universally feels to consider.

416
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: And I've even texted somebodies that have h is the

417
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: number one tackle in the NFL or in the draft,

418
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: and they think he's like borderline can't miss prospect. I

419
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I think you are at a huge advantage

420
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: when you are six eight plus going up against these

421
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: pass rushers because all the edge guys can, all the

422
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: good ones can bend, get low and use leverage against tackles.

423
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: So when you're six eight six ' nine, the ability

424
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: to bend down to their level is difficult. That extra

425
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: couple inches is a disadvantage. And listen, I know this

426
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: guy's a good athlete. But in twenty eighteen, there were

427
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: two tackles drafted really high. The San Fransco forty nine

428
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: Ers took Mike McGlinchey, an All American team captain from

429
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and the Oakland Raiders, who wanted mcglinche. Remember

430
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: there was a coin flip at the combine between John

431
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: Lynch and John Gruden. I attended that coin flip. The

432
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: Niners won, and the Raiders were sitting there at ten.

433
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Ultimately traded back with the Arizona Cardinals and they ended

434
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: up getting Josh Rosen and they drafted Colton Miller at fifteen.

435
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: It is inarguable that the Raiders got very lucky, and

436
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Colton Miller is a dramatically better player than McGlinchey. Mcglinch's

437
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: a starter. Somehow he found a way to get Sean

438
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: Payton to give him eighty million dollars, which I thought

439
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: was easily the worst free agent contract last season. But

440
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: here's mcglinchey's problem. Not a great athlete and like these

441
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: other guys, really tall, he really really struggles in past protection.

442
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Now McGlinchey is a good run blocker. But I don't

443
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: pay tackles to run block. I pay them to protect

444
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: the most important asset in my building, the quarterback in

445
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: passing situations, and McGlinchey is a massive red flag in

446
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: that situation. Colton Miller, who is a much better athlete

447
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: foot athlete, straight line, speed athlete movement wise, has become

448
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a high end left tackle,

449
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: but a very very good starter someone. It could be

450
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: your starting left tackle for a decade plus and he's

451
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: scheduled to be that for the Raiders, and he's a

452
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: way better athlete now. I texted a buddy who his team.

453
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: Some people think this is going to be very interested

454
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: in Joel and he's like, we worked we worked him out,

455
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: and he's like, I hear what you're saying. I think

456
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: his bend and movement ability is actually pretty good. I

457
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: just think this that you get McGlinchey, it's not the

458
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: end of the world. You get a starter. I saw

459
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: a scout told Zerline, who my guy who's great at

460
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Comps Compton and McGlinchey. He's like, I don't like that

461
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: comp as much. I like Eric Fisher, who was also

462
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: told not quite six ' eight six seven and a

463
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: half and ended up playing for the Chiefs from twenty

464
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: thirteen to twenty twenty. Had a long career in the

465
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: NFL before his body gave out. But if you're taking

466
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: Eric Fisher or mcglinchy in the top ten, I don't

467
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: know if you love that. Now, if best case scenario

468
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: you get Colton Miller, great, and you know where I stand.

469
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: You swing for the fences, you hope for best case scenario.

470
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: I just think that this guy has a lot of

471
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: potential downside in a league that has never had the

472
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: abundance of elite pass rushers, most teams have multiple Most

473
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: teams have defensive tackles that are now six four to

474
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: sixty five. They could rush the passer that you can

475
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: kick out to the edges and you don't have a

476
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: shot in hell. I remember the Rams against the Niners

477
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: used to kick out sometimes Aaron Donald to end over McGlinchey.

478
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: I was like, good luck, and he couldn't block them.

479
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Now you can say Aaron Donald's one of the great

480
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: pass rushers of all time. Fine, then how many teams

481
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: in the league have elite defensive tackles Those smaller guys

482
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: you can't touch them. So I'm not saying this guy's

483
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. I'm not saying this guy is not

484
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: a good prospect. I'm just saying, for me, six ' eight,

485
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: six ' nine tackles are massive, massive buyer bewares send

486
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: on this. The NBA banned this dude for life for

487
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: gambling Michael Porter's brother, who's a nobody two way contract

488
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: irrelevant player. But I have read more articles every time

489
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: I see a big jay writing about gambling. I just

490
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: read it. I kind of hate read it. It's kind

491
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: of sick. Probably shouldn't do it. But my overall take

492
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: is when media people talk about gambling, I would imagine

493
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of media people not only I've never

494
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: made a bet, would never make a bet no matter

495
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: how much money they make. It's not really the way

496
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: they're wired. Most of those guys, let's face it. I

497
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: mean I saw a lot of their tweets over the

498
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: last especially when COVID happened. Their level of risk is

499
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: much smaller than every human I've ever met, Like, it's

500
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: really really low. So and I've always thought this about

501
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: media people who can be very anti business, and a

502
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: lot of them again because of Twitter, you can just

503
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: see their beliefs. Don't really understand it. When you cover

504
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: billion dollar industries, it's almost like, shouldn't you guys take

505
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: some like business courses or be forced to listen to

506
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: podcasts to kind of understand the way money works. But

507
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: that's a whole separate conversation. My point is with gambling,

508
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: this one isn't that complicated. The guy bet on his

509
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: own team to lose. There are some things that I understand,

510
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: like an NFL team and NBA team, a Major League

511
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: Baseball team, Like, hey, listen, guys, we're on business with gambling.

512
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: We're all profiting from this. But there are some rules

513
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: a little convoluted, but you're just not allowed to bet

514
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: from the facility. Obviously, you can't bet on this sport

515
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: or college sports. You can bet on the other leagues.

516
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: You just can't bet from the confines. Like you'd have

517
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: to hammer those homes. You would have to make sure

518
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 1: you consistently win over those. But I think gambling on

519
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: your own team to lose, I don't think anyone would

520
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: ever have to say that out loud. Like drugs are

521
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: legal in California, crack is basically legal. We all know

522
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: don't do crack. I don't need to tell my team, hey,

523
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: can't bet on us to lose, Like, no shit, this

524
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: guy is a fucking moron. And also like this guy

525
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: you could argue is just a bad guy. And you

526
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: could say, well, playing for the Raptors, they lose a lot,

527
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: of course, like it's actually probably not a bad bet,

528
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: but betting on your team to lose, there's nothing worse.

529
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: And I have been lucky enough to be around a

530
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: lot of athletes, definitely in these situations from a team,

531
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thinks like that. I don't think

532
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: I think such an outlier of someone willing to do that.

533
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, back the famous story of the Black Socks

534
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: when they threw the World Series. Those case doesn't have

535
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: any money. I mean, the average player in the NFL

536
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: now makes millions of dollars. That's why the check said

537
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: on this podcast the other day, like the bookie, one

538
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: of the major gamblers in America, like twenty years ago,

539
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: told me, yeah, I can't afford to buy players. You

540
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: guys all make too much cash. But I can buy

541
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: the referees. You can't buy someone. I also think it's

542
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: just common sense, like, don't do crack. Don't bet against

543
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: your own team, Like, no shit, If I have to

544
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: tell you that you should not be on my team,

545
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: you're complete more on and you will lose me games.

546
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Obviously you might be trying because you're throwing the game.

547
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: But I maybe I'm naive. I truly don't believe there

548
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: is anyone in the NFL who wouldn't say, like, yeah,

549
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: that's wrong. Even if that guy knows, like, hey, we're

550
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: playing we're the worst team in the league and we're

551
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: playing the best team the league, we're probably gonna lose.

552
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: They would not bet on their own team to lose.

553
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: I feel very confident about that. Okay, let's dive it

554
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: in Middlecoff mailbag. Very very very easy to get involved.

555
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: Fire into my dms at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff

556
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: DM's wide open. Hit me up with a question. Mike

557
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: Reggie did high from Australia. Ozios. Good work on the

558
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: NFL on changing the kickoff rules every play should matter.

559
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: Do you think the league will ever do away with

560
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: my pet peeve taking a knee running the clock down

561
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: to end the game. A league that's so proactive to

562
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: change to better the game. But let's games finish like this,

563
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: I can't fathom. I know the league purists will sprout

564
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: bullshit why it's part of the game, but I'll disagree

565
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: every day twice on Sundays again, every play should matter.

566
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: Have they ever tried that in the past? Maybe bit harsh,

567
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: but watching quarterback take a knead and celebrate a win

568
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: while the clock still hasn't run out feels like the

569
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: equivalent of a soccer player rolling around faking an injury.

570
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Cheers and go Niners. I'm gonna disagree with you. It

571
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: usually happens under the two minute warning with a team

572
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: up and the other team can't stop. You know, I

573
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: think there's fifty eight minutes action, maybe a minute you know,

574
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: left in the game, So fifty nine minutes action, like

575
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: you've had your opportunity. I'm not bothered by it. I

576
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: was always more bothered. Remember when Greg Chiano rushed? Was

577
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: it the giants on the victory formation? That that was

578
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: pretty low level. That's why Shehianu. I love it when

579
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: media is like, remember when Shiano shuld have got the

580
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: he had a see job. No, he shouldn't have. Shiono

581
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: would have been eaten alive in the South guy is

582
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: such a clown. He belongs to Ruckers and it's a

583
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: good spot for him. But I'm going to disagree. I

584
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: don't have any issue with it. You know, many call

585
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: it the greatest formation in football, the victory formation. I

586
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: think what it represents like we've won the game. We

587
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: won the game, right. It's like trying to think what

588
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: older people play, like if you play golf like you're

589
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: up three with two to go, you're playing match play

590
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: against somebody, like you don't need to play anymore. It's

591
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: over in basketball, like you skunk a guy in a

592
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: pickup game. I have no problem with it. With the

593
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: Rashid Rice incident going around and takes of him possibly

594
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: missing games, I want to get your thoughts on the

595
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: NFL shifting the games that players miss from just being

596
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: the next games up on the schedule to instead having

597
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: the players miss the games at the end of the season.

598
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: I feel like a player missing weeks one to three

599
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: is kind of a weak punishment. The games at the

600
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: end of the season tend to be much more impactful.

601
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: What if we did this, I got one for you.

602
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how many games are gonna get spended.

603
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: My let's just guess four. Let's say the guy's gonna

604
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: get suspended four games for going seven hundred million miles

605
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: an hour and easily endangering people's lives on the freeway

606
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: in Dallas, could have killed people. There's no crazy part

607
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: about this situation is Henry Ruggs. We don't know if

608
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: this guy was drunk because he fucking left the scene.

609
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: But like, let's use some common sense. Why the hell

610
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: would you leave a scene when everyone's gonna know what's

611
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: your car? Or you rented the car? Like I wasn't

612
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: born yesterday. I've had my fair share of cocktails over

613
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: the years. Like let's or maybe you're high as hell.

614
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: But if he killed someone, his career is over. But

615
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: because no one gets hurt, he's just gonna get in trouble.

616
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: That's the way the world works. I mean, it's it's sad,

617
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: but it's just reality. What if we had a lottery,

618
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: then basically you get a four game suspension and it's

619
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: like a lottery. You could basically spin a wheel like

620
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: the price is right, or maybe you go lottery like

621
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: the NBA Draft and it's just on there. Weeks one

622
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: to four, weeks five to eight. Is that way? And

623
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: they broadcast it or they tweet it out, I'd watch.

624
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: I hear you though, I like that thinking inside the

625
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: box A little bit question for the pod. Kansas City

626
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: recently declined to pay for a new stadium. To me,

627
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: it was not surprising in these inflationary times. I think

628
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: the owners a little cheap too. But I feel like

629
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: this has a little to do with the NFLPA grades

630
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: that came out and gave the Chiefs a very underwhelming score. Overall,

631
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: I understand the owners asking to have the stadium paid

632
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: for by people in taxes from the owner's perspective, but overall,

633
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: asking for a stadium while giving little in return for

634
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: the players who earned the Lombardes insulting to the NFL fans.

635
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: Viewers will always side with the players, and I'm glad

636
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: the people of Kansas City decline for the new stadium.

637
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? I think I've talked about this before. Overall,

638
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: I just don't care about this story that much. Like

639
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: I understand why owners ask they want a new stadium,

640
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to pay for it the nfl PA grades.

641
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of an older stadium. I don't know.

642
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: I've never been to the Chiefs player locker room, so

643
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: it's like, it's hard for me to have an opinion.

644
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: Like God, it's because here's the thing. If we all

645
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: spend a week, let's say, with the three teams grade

646
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: of the lowest, like the Cardinals, if you just spend

647
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: a time in their cafeteria, saw their operation, you would

648
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: leave and go, God, what a low level operation. Anyone

649
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: that's worked multiple jobs, you go one place, you're like, God,

650
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: this pretty high high level people is impressive. And then

651
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: you go to another company or change industries, you're like, God,

652
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: these there's a lot of morons here, these people. I'm

653
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: working for a guy that is an idiot. So until

654
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: you're in a spot, I would say, it's hard to judge.

655
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: I also think my overall take, and I think I've

656
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: said this before, most of these players are coming from

657
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: college where they're not only recruiting you out of high school,

658
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 1: they're not recruiting you on your once you're on the team.

659
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: Because of the portal. Is these lavish situations all over

660
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: the country. It's not just the high end schools. It's

661
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: like every Power five school has I don't want to

662
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: say elite facilities, but pretty high end facilities, and then

663
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: you go to the pros like they're not recruiting yet

664
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: they recruit you with money. So I I just it's

665
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: hard for me to go, well, you're bitching a moment

666
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: about the chairs. Now, I'd also understand, like I only

667
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: worked for one NFL team, and Jeffrey Luriy did everything

668
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: humanly possible to make sure the players were taken care of.

669
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: Because if the players were in good spirits, if they

670
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: feel comfortable, if they like coming to work, ideally they're

671
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: gonna play better. We wouldn't it be pretty easy for

672
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: Clark Hunt to go They've been playing for good to

673
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: what I've provided. So I, unless you saw it, I

674
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: guess it's just it's hard to have, like some hardcore opinion. Hello,

675
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: believe it or not, this is not a husband or

676
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: girlfriend using an account, but actually a lady yourself. I

677
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: listened a three and out, so hello from your what

678
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: would be one percent demo might be a little higher

679
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: in one, but it's pretty low, might even be under one. Anyways.

680
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: I love sports, and as a lady, I also love

681
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: women's sports and try and hype it up whenever possible,

682
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: So I very much appreciate you calling out the massive

683
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: uptick in viewership and the interest in the NCAA tournament.

684
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: I agree with you that the reason why there is

685
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: an uptick in popularity is because of the star power

686
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: of some of these women have earned throughout their talent.

687
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: It is the voices like yours that make someone from

688
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: being on the edge of watching women's sports to actually

689
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: sitting down and watching a game, especially on our US

690
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: women's national team. Well, I think the US women's national

691
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: team is a little different. I think they have been

692
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: a powerhouse for so long and we followed you know,

693
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: college basketball women's like Gino and pat Summit in Tennessee

694
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: and Yukon Like I watched them when I was young.

695
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: I paid attention, not like watched all their games, but

696
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: you paid attention to them because they'd have years where

697
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: they were like undefeated. But obviously there's a lot of

698
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: talent in college basketball for women's you know, all the

699
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: girls that were drafted high, a lot of them played

700
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: at the best programs. But this is a Kaitlyn Clark story.

701
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: She's the one. If Kaitlyn Clark didn't exist, I think

702
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: the ratings would have been higher. But she is like

703
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, like Steph Curry or something. She's an outlier.

704
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: But I appreciate you because I don't think just because

705
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I watched the women's game, would other

706
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: people watch it? I don't know, But like I've said,

707
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: I only watched it because of her. She's the only reason.

708
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: If she hadn't exist, I would not have watched it.

709
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: How I almost put one thousand dollars on them to

710
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: win the national championship because they were like a two

711
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: and a half one underdog. Glad I didn't they got worked.

712
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: Listening to people talk about Harbaugh talk up JJ as

713
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: much as he is, something jumped into my mind. What

714
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that Harbaugh knows JJ's the real

715
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: deal and is trying to push up his stock so

716
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: that he's gone before he gets to Denver and or

717
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: Oakland and has the ability to get him in the draft.

718
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: If he's gone by three or four, then he doesn't

719
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: have to worry about facing him twice a year. I

720
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: think you're already like two steps forward. I think he

721
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: just legitimately, on the surface, believes in the guy. How

722
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: would he not the guy? I mean had two of

723
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: the most powerful years of the guy's twenty plus year

724
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: coaching career. They won a national championship at Michigan, which

725
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: obviously Harbaugh is as Michigan man as you can get,

726
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: and finally won him a championship as a coach. So

727
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: I think when he's hyping them up, if you've watched

728
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers are producing, it's crazy to go from Brandon Staley,

729
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: who was a fucking laughingstock that nobody respected as a fan,

730
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: and obviously he unraveled under the pressure, to go to

731
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: Jim Harball. Their social media team and their content has

732
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: always been good with the Chargers, and now Jim because

733
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: of where he's at in life, I don't think pushes

734
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: back against any of that. They did three five minutes

735
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: he went to the Michigan Pro Day and the video

736
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: is fantastic, and then they did like five minutes of

737
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 1: him and Greg Roman that live in an RV park

738
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: right now. It is incredible, Jim. To go from Brandon

739
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: Staley to Jim Harball would be like go from making

740
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: like fifty grand, struggling just keeping your head above water,

741
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: just going through the grind, to all of a sudden

742
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: making like ten million dollars. That's what it has to feel.

743
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: Like if you're just around the Chargers, if you're a Charger,

744
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: if you're a Charger player, to have that change and

745
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: just in terms of what it will do for their brand.

746
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: But back to Harby, I think he just truly believes that.

747
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's making it up. I think he

748
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: believes that to his score, the JJ McCarthy's the real

749
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: deal because he just experienced him being the real deal.

750
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: When Jim harbaughs his career wasn't on the line, but

751
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: like his career legacy was kind of on the line,

752
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna lose to this Nick Saban team in

753
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl as a big favorite, and then JJ

754
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: leads him on a game winning drive, one of the

755
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: biggest drives of his career. Currently deployed in the Middle East.

756
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate your service and your podcast is the best thing

757
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: keeping me and my crew updated on football. I wanted

758
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: to know what's the best draft pick that you helped

759
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: scout when you were with the Eagles. None. They didn't

760
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: listen to me. When I started doing college Chip came in.

761
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: He definitely didn't listen to me. Told him not to

762
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: draft Matt Barkley took hi Matt Barkley. When you're at

763
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: the bottom of the totem poll and you get a

764
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: coach that doesn't like you, might as well just burn

765
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: my reports. Did all that work for nothing, but it

766
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: led me in a weird way to Colin Coward. Now

767
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm here, So thank you Chip Kelly, who I saw

768
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: that he ran the triple wing the other day at

769
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State. And listen, I respect Ohio State the program.

770
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: I really do like you're one of the best programs

771
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: in all of college sports consistently. Not the biggest. Ryan

772
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: Day guy. I think Chip Kelly's going to be a disaster,

773
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: and you should be very, very thankful that Jim left,

774
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: because if Jim had stayed, all those guys wo be

775
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: getting fired. Get your ass kicked again. I don't care

776
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: how much money you're paying for players. Jim Harbaugh was

777
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: never losing to Ryan Day ever. Again, it's like when

778
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: Jim showed up and erber Meyer kicked his ass, That's

779
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: what was about to become, especially with Chip Kelly rolling

780
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: in then Harbaugh's defense. Give me a break. Love the show,

781
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: long stuffering Jets fan. The team is all in with

782
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: a forty year old quarterback accumulating talent but injury prone

783
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: older guys to go along with younger studs Garrett Wilson,

784
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: Breese Hall and a young talented defense. You mentioned it's

785
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: an approach to team building that doesn't happen much anymore

786
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: and probably won't work due to the injury risks. I

787
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: see your point. But recently the Buccaneers acquired an aging

788
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: quarterback surrounded him with vets Antonio Brown, Gronk Fournette, studs

789
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: Evans and Godwin with young talented defense. So what difference

790
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: about the Bucks approach? Well, Tom was healthy one. The

791
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: core of the Bucks dramatically better. I mean, Mike Evans,

792
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: borderline Hall of Famer already on the team, Vida Veya.

793
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: They draft Evan White immediately. Their offensive line was good.

794
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: They draft worfs in whatever twenty twenty star Ali Marpett,

795
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: who recently retired was really good. The center whose name

796
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: is escaping me was really good. They had Donovan Smith there,

797
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: who was the worst offensive line I mean, who just

798
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: started for the Chiefs. So their team was just better.

799
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: Another curveball, they had Bruce Arians. I got news for you.

800
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians is running circles around Robert Sola as the

801
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: head coach, and I like Robert Solo. I actually had

802
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: this thought when I was watching the Warriors because Klay

803
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: Thompson's kind of done. He's just not the same player.

804
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not comparing Klay Thompson to Aaron Rodgers because

805
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: Aaron at his sport is better than Clay. Right, Clay's

806
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: not the number one. Aaron's, you know, the equivalent of

807
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: a number one, But like when it starts going physically,

808
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: it's never quite the same. And I just think the

809
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: likelihood that he's gonna have a successful year at forty

810
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: years old coming off in Achilles, separate from all these

811
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: other players that have their own issues, you know, injury wise.

812
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time believe in that. I

813
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: also think he showed us two years ago he was

814
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: bad with the Packers. I got Packers teams good. We

815
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: saw Jordan Love second half the season was excellent. So

816
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: what if Aaron Rodgers just half as good as he

817
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: once was or seventy five percent, and he's like the

818
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: twelfth best quarterback. Your coaching staff isn't good enough. The

819
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: Jets had Bruce Arians and Todd Bowles as the defensive coordinator.

820
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: I just don't think you're as good coaching wise on

821
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's instagram from Ellie. But this isn't Ellie. I

822
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: don't know. Why does nobody question Malcolm Butler about being

823
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: benched in the Eagles pat Super Bowl. I mean, come on, John,

824
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: this guy pretending to not know is more frustrating the

825
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: bill not saying anything about it. Malcolm knows why. I agree.

826
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: I would die on this hill. I have a hard time.

827
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't believe. I do not believe, under no circumstances,

828
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: that the guy just played all season long. I remember

829
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: it was like whatever percentage of the snaps. I don't

830
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: think it was one hundred, but it was damn high.

831
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: He's a full time starter. Super Bowl comes and he's

832
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: just benched. He's like, I got no clue what happened? Right,

833
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: I would say most times in life, the majority of

834
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: times in life, the majority of times in life. You know,

835
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: when before you break up, like yeah, you know she's

836
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: not that into you, or maybe you're not that into her.

837
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: I've been fired from a job. I can see it coming.

838
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna happen, like this ain't good.

839
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: Something's off. I've been in trouble when I was a

840
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: kid a lot with my parents. This guy didn't do it, Like, yeah,

841
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: I knew I did it. There is I see under

842
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: no circumstances. Think about Belichick. Belichick will trade you without

843
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: telling you. Belichick will make harsh personnel moves, but he's

844
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: never made a move like that, and historically he's always

845
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: bench guys Like yeah, Chayla Jones got traded. Shouldn't have

846
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: gone in Stone to that up jail or precinct and

847
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: spoke with the cops. Right, could have saw that one coming.

848
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: Remember that running back they had. I forget his name,

849
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: but he was like an undrafted free agent, played for

850
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: Belichick and had a huge Monday night football game, and

851
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: then like the next week, like on Wednesday, he was

852
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 1: five minutes late for a meeting and I think a

853
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: couple weeks later was cut. I might be misremembering this.

854
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he was benched cut I waved a couple weeks later.

855
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: For the most part, Belichick hasn't done things of like

856
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: why would he do that? In terms of guys playing

857
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: in a game, I see under no circumstance that Malcolm

858
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: Butler can't hasn't told his friends, his wife, like what

859
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: really happened? I don't believe it. Maybe the other players

860
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: on the team don't know. I can't see you just

861
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: coming out of note. I'm just betching him why. I

862
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: just got feel, just a gut feel. I don't know. Bullshit,

863
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you. That play though, when he made the pick.

864
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: What an incredible interception really is? Certain plays in sports

865
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: like I just never get tired of watching that play.

866
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: I think that's the best Super Bowl play of all

867
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: time that if I just watch, it's like I never

868
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: get tired of watching it. The other one is James

869
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: Harrison when he picked off Kurt Warner and took it

870
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: back and Larry Fitzgerald went out of bounds and was

871
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: like we even in and out of people and ended

872
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: up tackling him into the end zone. That would be

873
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: I'd put that even above David Tyree, cause the David

874
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: Tyree we've seen weird catches. Julio had won a Super Bowl,

875
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: Edelman had won a Super Bowl. I would say the

876
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler thing is one of those plays that every

877
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: time you're like, holy shit, love the pod, watch all

878
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: your videos. I'm twenty four year old serving active duty

879
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: in the military. We appreciate your service. I've always had

880
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: a passion for sports and team, especially football. I'm a

881
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: junkie through and through. I want to work in the

882
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: front office one day. I plan on going to college

883
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: after a military to pursue my passion in scouting. US

884
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: government better pay for that, bitch. I'm learning how to

885
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: break down all twenty two film on my off time

886
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: and essentially making it my lifestyle. I'm obsessed. I have

887
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: a connection with a Division I school in Big Ten

888
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: that I may be able to get my foot in

889
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: the door. Any recommendations on majors for what career path

890
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: and advice on the journey, I would say your major

891
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 1: is pretty relevant. I would recommend if you're gung gung

892
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: ho dead set on working in football, take the easiest

893
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 1: major possible, just because you can dedicate more time to football.

894
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: There's no point in trying to be like a architectural

895
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: engineer and spending all your time in the library and

896
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: not able to do football stuff. Now, if you can

897
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: be a business major, that always makes the most sense.

898
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 1: But I worked with people with all sorts of majors

899
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, so I would say just I would

900
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: recommend getting the easiest major possible. If under no circumstances.

901
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: You're not going to do everything humanly possible to do

902
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: football as a full time career path. Business, you know,

903
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: just a basic finance degree. But if you don't like business,

904
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: then it may be hard. I would communications one of

905
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: those degrees that everyone on TikTok, you know, liberal arts

906
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: that everyone on TikTok complains about I can't get a job. Well, yeah,

907
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: no shit. I'd also argue, like, who would a degree

908
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: even matter? I got like three degrees. They don't mean

909
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: they do nothing too Actually state schools, you know, not

910
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: exactly Harvard grad, but I mean, i'd say that's been

911
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: diminished a little lately. As an avid sports card collector,

912
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: which young quarterback has the highest upside in the NFL

913
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: at the moment could be a starng or non starter.

914
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: It's a good question. You would have to take someone

915
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: off the beaten path. Like what if this Tennessee crew

916
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: like Brian Callahan make Will Levis into a player and

917
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he's good. I'm looking at

918
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: value here, like Will Levis, you get his card for

919
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: nothing right now? What if you just look up in

920
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: a couple of years and he's like a legit starter.

921
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 1: Trying to think this draft would probably be Jaden Daniels,

922
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: Like what if he goes to Washington becomes a star.

923
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: What if he's like this dynamic player, He's like Lamar

924
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: lte JJ McCarthy trying to think, let's go Daniel Jones.

925
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: Hell no, we have a lot of established veterans. Probably

926
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: buy low on Bryce Young though I think that'd probably

927
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: be a waste of money. I would say Levis would

928
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: just be a good like, you know, throw a little

929
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: cash in see if it pops, hoping for like a

930
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: ten bagger, and if it doesn't, whatever, didn't cost you much.

931
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: Because don't think how many quarterbacks are like Baker, Derek Carr, Cousins,

932
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: Dak like they kind of are who they are party.

933
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know the card market. I'm not a

934
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: big card guy. It's pretty cheap. Like what if Perdy

935
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: becomes a superstar? I guess that would be one. I mean,

936
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: he's already damn good player, but like, what if he

937
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: does this for the next ten years, Because if he does,

938
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: then he'll be you know, if you as one of

939
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league for a long period

940
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: of time, that's probably where I'd go I would say

941
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: just low, low budget flyer Will Levis. Party would be

942
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: just kind of betting on this guy just becoming a

943
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: consistent star in the NFL. The volume
