Speaker 1: took in a lot of football, watched a lot of

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: college football over the weekend Friday Saturday. UH Sunday night

21
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: we were flying home, got to see the first half

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: of the l s U Florida State game. Did have

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: Florida State though, So when we landed and I saw

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: that it was I was excited. Uh. So, Week one

25
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: of the NFL season is now here. We're off rocking

26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: and rolling. A little weird this week because a Labor Day. Um,

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: we got Bill's Rams coming up in just a couple

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: of days. We listens on Tuesday, I mean, with forty

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: eight hours away for the NFL season, pretty good slate

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: of games Sunday, and we'll just rock and roll. Uh.

31
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: The game plan is podcast today, have another podcast out

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: on Friday with my man Stucky doing some gambling stuff.

33
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be me on the podcast, but

34
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Stucky's joining us again. If you guys are new to

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: the podcast, actually network guy, big Gambler, big Stucky guy,

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: and we'll probably pick three games every week on the

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: NFL slate maybe college. Last year was difficult because we

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: would put it out on Sunday, but this year it's

39
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: gonna be part of the Friday podcast. We'll work through things,

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out and then probably consistently have mail

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Bag out maybe early on Sunday morning and then usually

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: a podcast Monday, Tuesday, Friday and just just keep rocking

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: and rolling like that. Um. Other than that, a lot

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: going on today. Got some bold predictions. I'm gonna pick

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: every division winner. Tell you I like to be the

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: m v P this year, but I think it's gonna

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: be the worst team in the NFL. Just some other

48
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: things that you know, if you've listened to me for

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: a while, you kind of know where I stand on

50
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: a couple of these teams. Uh. And then a lot

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: of college football thoughts. I I I love college football.

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say the NFL pays the bills, but

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: got and I could watch college football day long, and

54
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: literally I did, and it was glorious. It was like

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480

63
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: later in the week as well, but I wanted to

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: start with this. It's my second time going to Nashville,

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: and I remember the last time I was there. I Uh,

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I was there for a bachelor party, but I made

67
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: a work trip out of it. You know when you

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: when you're not a W two guy, you find ways

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: to expense your life. So the bachelor party was like

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Friday to Monday, and I was like, you know what,

71
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: it's during this spring and the Titans were practicing, and uh,

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I know my guy John Robinson, who actually I had

73
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: on a podcast. This would have been four or five

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: years ago. And I went out there for the week

75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and I stayed in downtown Nashville. I went to a

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: couple of Titans practices. It was really cool, and uh,

77
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: there is something special about the South when it comes

78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: to football. People are very, very passionate. And everywhere I

79
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: went you would see someone wearing a roll Tide shirt,

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: l s U shirt, Tennessee shirt, a Florida State shirt,

81
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State shirt. I mean you had people form a

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: University of Texas shirt and A and M and you

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: could feel the passion. And I didn't grow up in

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: an area where college football was king I grew up

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: where pro football was king. I grew up in northern

86
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: California where the forty Niners are like the New York Yankees.

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: And I was lucky enough in my time working in

88
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the NFL to be a part of the Eagles, where

89
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, Penn State's a big deal,

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: but there's nothing like the Philadelphia Eagles. They are treated

91
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: in that city and really in that state. I guess

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: pits the Steelers are there too, but in Eagle Country

93
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: it's treated like Alabama football or Ohio State football. It

94
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: means everything to everyone and it it really just hit

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: me before I dive into football stuff, how lucky I

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: am that so many people care and like I do

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: the golf podcast, that's a passion project. Now there's a

98
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: lot of money in golf. I love golf. Golf you know,

99
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: does pretty well, but football pays the bills around here.

100
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: And football is the biggest sport in America for a reason,

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: you guys. So whether you're listening to this and you're

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan, you're an Alabama fan, you're a Seahawk fan,

103
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: you're a Giant fan, football is king right now. Because

104
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: of the fans there are more fans and more people

105
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: who truly give a ship than any other sport. Really,

106
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: you could could buy them all. It ain't even close

107
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: in this country. I know soccer and f one internet.

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about where where we are. Who the base

109
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: is here? Football is king for a reason is the fans.

110
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: And I know this as someone that when I worked

111
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: in a d OH, I used to sit in the

112
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: media areas and I felt very isolated. I remember when

113
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: I left and started getting into podcasting, I started buying tickets.

114
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I no longer sat with the media elites. I sat

115
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: with the people, and I believe this to my core.

116
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: I became much better talking for a living the closer

117
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: I got to the fans. And I think a big

118
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: reason why so many people in the media feel out

119
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of touch and let's face it, aren't that good to

120
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: their job is you can kind of get into a

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: different world where ultimately the media, like the league, you know,

122
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: the health of it all revolves around people. And now

123
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: in two thousand twenty two, it's actually less powerful to

124
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: go to a game in terms of the money for

125
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: the sport. As you just saw the Big ten deal,

126
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: the SEC deal, the NFL deal, it's all about us

127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch and watching. That's how these leagues

128
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: and these conferences now print money. But as someone that

129
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: spent last year almost a thousand dollars a ticket for

130
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: three of us to go to Week eighteen Rams forty Niners,

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: I remember going into the stadium and the buzz was incredible.

132
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: I remember being there at halftime and the Niners were

133
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: getting wrecked, and I remember the comeback. There is still

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: nothing like being at a big football game. There is

135
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: nothing like watching some of these games on television over

136
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: the years in the SEC Ohio State Michigan and just

137
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: knowing it means everything to everyone there. And I ultimately

138
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: this might sound cheesy or whatever, but just thank you

139
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: for liking football. I mean, this would not be possible.

140
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I my career would not be possible if it wasn't

141
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: for the number one sport in America, which most people

142
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: care about. And being in Nashville, you know, listen, I

143
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: can become numb to this as a business and just

144
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: sports in general. It's it's really the only industry I've

145
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: ever worked in, and I don't look upon it like

146
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: I did once in my early twenties or when I

147
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: was a kid growing up. It's just different when you

148
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: start making money on something. But it's stuff like that

149
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: that makes you realize the path action to the people.

150
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: That's why I do this ship And I can't wait.

151
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: Let me repeat, I can't wait for this NFL season.

152
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not faking that. I mean, let's face it,

153
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: there are ten plus teams that could probably win the

154
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl going into Week one. Everyone thinks they can win.

155
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: Part of the reason, like when Oregon gets curb stomped

156
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: and dog walked by Georgia. It's a humbling experience because

157
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: if you're Oregon, I don't know if you thought you

158
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: could win. If you're if you're a Ducks fan, and

159
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of Ducks fans growing up on

160
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: the West Coast, a lot of people go to Oregon.

161
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: You know, most of us can't get into U c.

162
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: L A. Or you know, Cal or some of them

163
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: be good, Like, you can get into Oregon even if

164
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: you're not an athlete. This is school. So I know

165
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people that have gone to school there

166
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: and root for the football team as they should. And

167
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: you just think, like, hey, can we just kind of

168
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: make this a game. Being in the second half and

169
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: then you get bent over and take into the woodshed

170
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: and it's a humbling experience. And it's gonna happen to

171
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL teams this this Sunday, potentially Monday

172
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: night high hopes, you know. And now that one game

173
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: does not define your season. But the best part about football,

174
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this forever, is one of its

175
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: differentiating factors from the other sports is every game matters.

176
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: And I sat there with some of these bars this weekend.

177
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: If dudes wearing these their teams polos getting wasted, screaming

178
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: for their team, it's like this ship really matters. Like,

179
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: let's face it, there's the Yankees are playing a game

180
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: right now, Aaron Judge, I think it his fifty four

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: home run. Ultimately that game, like him hitting the home

182
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: run matters. That game is completely irrelevant. It does not matter.

183
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: It's it's the problem with baseball hats. They have so

184
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: much inventory. We have, We've never had less attention. So

185
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: if anything, if you want to, you know, excel as

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: a sports Why everyone keeps telling the NBA like wipe

187
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: off like thirty games and maybe people will care, but

188
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: you give us a D two. Hell, you don't care

189
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: about half of them? Why is the consumer? Everyone cares?

190
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: And then one thing with college football will dive into

191
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: a little bit later, like the going to the twelve

192
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: team playoff, play big games, like every game in the NFL. Now,

193
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't turn out like the game's good. Not all

194
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: games are close, but every game going into a football

195
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: game matters in college, in pro, and hell and high

196
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: school is no different too, just because you only play

197
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: once a week. Uh So, like I said, thanks to

198
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: everyone that listen to this podcast that loves the sport

199
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: of football and makes this whole thing possible. You know,

200
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: and if anything, all these quarterbacks making million dollars, they

201
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: should send you all thank you cards because without you

202

00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,560

Speaker 1: the payday all season long. Here are two games that

210
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't like. I love the forty Niners right now

211
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: about minus seven against Chicago Bears. I think that is

212
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: blowout city the Arizona Cardinals while their home hosting. The

213
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs are dealing with a ton of injuries and offense.

214
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: Ron Dale Moore, Zach Hurtz. I like the Chiefs big

215
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: in this game. I think the Chiefs have a chance

216
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. I think the Chiefs have

217
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: a point to prove early and often, and I love

218
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: them in this game, even on the road. Play your

Speaker 1: Before I dive into who I'm picking, I don't know

240
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna pick a super Bowl winner, Like it's

241
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: so stupid. How about I pick a super Bowl winner

242
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: when the playoffs start? Tell you who I like? Now,

243
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: I think it's more realistic, like who I like to

244
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: make the divisions, who I think our playoff teams, who

245
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: I think suck? But if I pick a super Bowl winner, like,

246
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: to me, the only way that matters. And I was

247
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: telling my girlfriend this one reason I do a lot

248
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: of posts and stuff like talking about gambling because I

249
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: actually gamble, because I've been gambling. I'm thirty seven years old.

250
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: I've been gambling for more than two decades, aids Now.

251
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: And I see so many people, because of the influx

252
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: of money in gambling, that are talking about it just

253
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: because they know they can make money. They don't. Actually,

254
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: that's most of the media. They wouldn't bet ten dollars

255
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: on something. And for someone that actually does it, it

256
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: means a lot to me. And I've always said, like,

257
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a big future guy. I like betting games.

258
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: I loved betting on Arkansas this weekend. I love betting

259
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: on Florida State. I don't really like waiting. I can't

260
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: wait five months now. I get some people do it whatever,

261
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: It's just not really for me. So I'm talking about

262
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: like I I if I knew who was gonna win

263
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I'd put five thousand dollars on it

264
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: right now. But I don't have a great feel like

265
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: you convince me seven teams will win. Now, I feel

266
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: pretty competent writing down the teams they're gonna win the

267
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: division of them. I think picking the divisions, it's just

268
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: a more realistic exercise. I think we all know. You

269
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: can list me five teams, the Bills, the Rams, right,

270
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: the Niners, um, the Ravens, the Bengals, like they can

271
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Yeah, we know, and it it

272
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: comes a fumble here, a pick here. But the Chiefs,

273
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking about? Uh? But I

274
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: wanted to start before I get into the division winners.

275
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: Just three bold predictions. And I'm not I try to

276
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: tell people all the time. Like one thing we try

277
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: to do here is like I only talk about things

278
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: that I like talking about. Now, I'm not a dummy.

279
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: I know the way to get the most people listening. Like,

280
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: I can't just talk about the Jags every day, but

281
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: for the most part of the Jacks bore me. I

282
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: talked about him when Urban Meyer was there because they

283
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: were a big story. But I'm also not going to

284
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: force feed on a daily basis Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.

285
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: When I do talk about them, I'm excited to talk

286
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: about them, like last week when their offensive lineman got hurt.

287
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: Now they've got Jason Peters, a four year old on

288
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: the practice squad. But yeah, it's kind of interesting stuff.

289
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: But like you watch some of these shows, they talk

290
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys NonStop, and I get why they do. They

291
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: have the most fan bases. Like if this was a

292
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: baseball podcast, I'd be dumb. They're not leading with the

293
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Yankees basically all the time. If I was doing college football,

294
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: if I'm not talking bam Ohio State, I'm or Notre Dame,

295
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm probably not making as much money as I could.

296
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: But like I I try. I know what the hits are,

297
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: and I can figure out ways to play the hits,

298
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: but with things that I actually care about. And you

299
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: watch some of these shows to me, my generation, like

300
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: we're not consuming First Take or Skid Bayless's show, Like

301
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: we're just not now part of it, Like we got jobs,

302
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: we're not at home. Well, I guess some people are

303
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: working from home now technically, but like the consumer that

304
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: watches the show at like nine in the morning is

305
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: just probably not people I'm hanging out with. It's just

306
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: a reality that type television bores me. One reason I've

307
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: always thought that Collins one of the best in the

308
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: businesses because he can take things and just make such

309
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: unique angles on him. And those guys are just like

310
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: they reiterate kick a dead horse. It's like God damn,

311
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: I'd I'd rather eat a dirt sandwich than watch this

312
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: right now. So these are bold predictions, but I honestly

313
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: truly believe them. I'm not just saying them to Sam.

314
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: I think that all three of them have a possibility,

315
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna start with one. It's gonna seem a

316
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: little crazy, and listen, this guy could lose every single

317
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: game this year. They could go owen C O and

318
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: seven team, and I don't think he would deserve to

319
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: get fired. And I don't even necessarily think if this

320
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: season goes off the rails, this guy would get fired.

321
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that is going to happen, but I

322
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: do think there you could see the light at an

323
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: end of a tunnel of just a breakup. Sometimes breakups

324
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: are just needed going your separate ways. Like ultimately Brian

325
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Kelly just needed to leave Notre Dame and he did it.

326
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Now he chose that Notre Dame wasn't gonna fire him.

327
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: But sometimes you just need to make a change. Bob

328
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Stoop's kind of actively retired and gave them Lincoln Riley like,

329
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I think this is the best idea for the program.

330
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different in the NFL, especially now

331
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: that Josh McDaniels went to the Raiders. They do not

332
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: have an air apparent. But Bill is seventies seventy one

333
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: years old. Let's face it. The team is kind of

334
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: trending in a weird way, and last year was impressive,

335
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: and I think he needed it kind of to be like, hey, guys,

336
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: obviously Tom played a big role in my success, but

337
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm not the village fucking idiot here. Y'all watch me

338
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: coach circles around everyone for like us years. You saw

339
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: these moves that I constantly did that your coach didn't

340
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: have in the bag. We all saw it. It's easy

341
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: to go, well, Bill sucks. No, we all watched they

342
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: played in the biggest games, and he out coached basically

343
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: of the time his opponent. Like that's a fact. So

344
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: anyone acting like Bill Belichick, if he's not the greatest,

345
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: one of the greatest coaches, you're just an idiot or

346
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: a hater. Like even if you're a diehard Jets fan

347
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: of diehard Steelers fan, if you are over thirty years

348
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: old and you watch the majority of Belichick and Brady's career,

349
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: you tip your hat to both guys. But there comes

350
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: to a point in the sport, in any sport where

351
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't know even necessarily it's his message, but maybe

352
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: it's just time and what they're doing. And I've always

353
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: stopped this, like one thing I'm a huge believer in. Like,

354
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: I do agree with Elon Musk. Whatever Twitter tells you

355
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: that the like of America's on it, I would cut

356
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: that number in half. I agree with Elon that that

357
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: number is closer to five than it is what they're

358
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: telling you. I think it's a miniscule percentage of people

359
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: in this country to humans that are on that app.

360
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Now Facebook, obviously they have Instagram, TikTok, those numbers dwarf

361
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: that ship. But because the media, the media is obsessed

362
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: with Twitter, they act like that is everything. Yet it's

363
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: a tiny subset. And sometimes when it's like the well,

364
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: the media drove this guy to get fired, bullshit, the

365
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: guy got fired because he wasn't any good. Usually sometimes

366
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: there's a social media run. I remember a couple of

367
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: years ago when Tennessee was gonna hire Greg Siano and

368
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: Clay Travis some other guys went all in on this

369
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: is insane. You know what, The media didn't force their hands.

370
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't insane move under no circumstances to the University

371
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: of Tennessee have hired a guy from the northeast. Greciano

372
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: is now a Rutgers. That's a good fit. Form you're

373
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna coach in the SEC. I like to have Southern guys.

374
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Josh Hypel good fit. Tennessee actually looks pretty good. But

375
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: this notion that like social media forced it bullshit. I

376
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: think they realized this is insane, and the fan base

377
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: is this is this is nuts, this makes no sense.

378
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: It didn't and luckily they changed and they pivoted and

379
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: out looks like they got the right guy. But Belichick,

380
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: whether he wins six seven games whatever, because I think

381
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: they're probably a six seven win team, they're they're not

382
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: very good. But him hiring his buddies back and his

383
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: buddies would be strong. But guys that know what he

384
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: wants in Joe Judge and Matt Patricia in their heyday.

385
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: If Tom would have been around, who cares, because they

386
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: would have won eleven twelve games, they would have hosted

387
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: playoff games, they would have made a ton of money.

388
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: So everyone can think Bill Belichick is one of the

389
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: biggest assholes. Ever well, when he was winning playoff games,

390
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: hosting playoff games, in printing money for his owner. Do

391
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: you know who doesn't care about all the fake white

392
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: noise on Twitter or social media? Bomb craft? But do

393
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: you know what happens when you start not going to

394
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs and not hosting playoff games and not having

395
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: the same trajectory if your franchise once did the owner

396
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: is ultimately a cutthrow businessman starts wondering like, does this

397
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: make sense? And I'm not saying that if they win

398
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: six or seven games, Bob Kraft is like Monday morning,

399
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Black Monday. Bill Belichick has been fired. But I do

400
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: wonder if they just get to a point where, like,

401
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't we just break up? Should we just go our

402
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: separate ways a little bit like Tom Brady and the

403
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: Patriots a couple of years ago, And that's what I

404
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: think happens at the end of this year. I don't

405
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: think he quote unquote gets fired, but I expect this

406
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: to be the last season Bill Belichick coaches for the

407
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Now Bill Belichick's available, even at seventy

408
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: seventy one years old, he is gonna be a very,

409
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: very valued individual, and I always hear there's like nepotism.

410
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I think Steve Belichick's pretty good coach. Is Kyle Shanahan nepotism? Nos,

411
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Like some people that have famous fathers or fathers in

412
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: a certain industry are actually really good and some people

413
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: are not. Just like some people that are in the

414
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: NFL that have no connection to the NFL in terms

415
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: of their father suck. You know what what is that like?

416
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: It just to me, the nepotis his kids know what

417
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. I've heard good things about Steve Belichick. I

418
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: think he's a good coach. Ultimately, to me, the reason

419
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: would be like Joe Udge in Mamatricia, Like that's who

420
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: you were going down swinging with and his draft record

421
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: which is pretty terrible. So I expect Bill Belichick his

422
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: last season. Number two. I'm shorting the Denver Broncos, And

423
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: I said, this is a couple of weeks ago. I

424
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: don't blame them for giving Russell Wilson a lot of money.

425
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: He deserved that money relative to his resume, and once

426
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: you make that trade, you're always going to extend him.

427
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: So this has nothing to do with them paying him

428
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: the moment they traded for him. They were going to

429
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: give him a big extension. It happened. He's now got it.

430
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: He was half the league would have given the big extension.

431
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: You know that, more than half. You know what, thirty

432
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: two teams, probably twenty two teams would have gladly if

433
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was available paid him that money. So this

434
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with his contract. But I said

435
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: it a couple of weeks ago when he told Peter King, Well,

436
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: he didn't, but but an unnamed Russell Wilson's source did.

437
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: He views him in Nate Hackett, not as coach player,

438
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: but as partners. And there is no way that I

439
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: could not think of the New Jersey Nets when I

440
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: saw that statement. And here's a major difference between the

441
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: New Jersey Nets and the Denver Broncos. Like, ultimately, Kevin

442
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: Durant at his sport, is a better player than Russell Wilson,

443
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: actually dramatically better. And in basketball, one individual can impact

444
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: you more than even a quarterback. Now here's my main

445
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: issue with them. I've said over and over I'm not

446
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson hater. I've seen him live several I

447
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: think he's one of the best quarterbacks. He's a remarkable player,

448
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: but I do think in his world he thinks that

449
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll held him back and he no longer wants

450
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: to run. He wants to be Tom Brady or Peyton Manning,

451
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: and that that also adds he wants to influence who

452
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: comes on the team, who leaves the team, and what

453
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: the scheme is. There was a famous story I heard

454
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Well, I mean it's it happened all

455
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: the time, probably, but when I was in the NFL,

456
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: I was told when Peyton Manning would walk out to practice.

457
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: This is in like the mid to early two thousands

458
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis Colts. If you don't under like the

459
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: way a practice happens is it's all it's all mapped out,

460
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: every single play in a practice script. Once you go

461
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: to seven on seven, nine on seven, eleven on eleven

462
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: and he read zone. Team drills is mapped out before

463
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: you get to practice. Now, on the fly, a coach

464
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: can ask for something or ad lib, but for the

465
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: most part, when you head out to a practice, once

466
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: you get with at minimum seven on seven too, obviously

467
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: the team everything is mapped out. That's what the coaching

468
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: staff does Peyton Manning would they would hand him the

469
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: laminated sheet with the practice script every day. You would

470
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: also hand him a red pen and he would make

471
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: corrections to it. And obviously as time went on, he

472
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: earned this kind of like I would say, legend of

473
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: being like one of the smartest players we've ever seen.

474
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: And I think Tom kind of took that on with

475
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: Josh and Bill as time went on, because at first

476
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: Peyton got a lot more credit than Tom. It's like, well,

477
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Tom's just told what to do by Josh, Bill O'Brien

478
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: and by Belichick. But in the second half of Tom's

479
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: career is like he basically has Payton Manning two and

480
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: that the best quarterbacks can operate like that. I know

481
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers as he should have a lot of juice

482
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: and tells Lafleur, hell of floor's even a minute, like

483
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: he has plays. I have plays. We go back and forth.

484
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson views himself like that, and I understand in

485
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: his shoes why he views himself like that. But I

486
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: just Nate Hackett a couple of years ago, no one

487
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: had really heard of this guy, was not going to

488
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: be a head coach, and now he's a head coach.

489
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: And now Russell Wilson doesn't view him as a coach.

490
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: He views him as an equal. And let's be real,

491
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: he views himself above Nate Hackett because ultimately he's gonna

492
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: dictate the terms. And I think that just has Russell

493
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: Wilson has never had an offensive coordinator in all of

494
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: his years in Seattle that didn't get fired. All three guys, Bebel,

495
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer and uh one guy before him, every single one

496
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: of them got fired. He has never had an offensive coordinator.

497
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: I think of all the great quarterbacks, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Roethlisberger,

498
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: UH Rogers, eating Mahomes, all their guys, they don't get fired.

499
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: They go on to become head coaches. They go on

500
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: to be head coaches. Think about the only time the

501
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: guy got fired was Bruce Arians That was like after

502
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl because the Rooneys were so

503
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: mad he wouldn't run the ball. But he didn't get

504
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: fired because they sucked. He got fired because they philosophically

505
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: didn't view each other the owner, not because they weren't

506
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: killing it on offense. Yet, Russell Wilson's offensive coordinators always

507
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: get fired. And that was head coach's offensive coordinator. And

508
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: the one thing Pete had is the Jews to tell Russell, no,

509
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: I I just gotta pick a team to finish fourth

510
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: in that division. And it's not because I don't necessarily

511
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: believe in Russell. I just don't believe in his philosophical

512
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: belief on how he wants to operate. Now, he was

513
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: always a number two. And when I say at number two,

514
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: he was told what to do in Seattle. And let's

515
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: face it, we can nitpick it all you want. They

516
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: made the playoffs basically eight out of ten years, and

517
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: one year they missed. They went nine and seven, and

518
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: last year they went seven and ten because he broke

519
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: his finger. If you hadn't broke his finger, they still

520
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: might not have been they would have been right there

521
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: because nine and eight got in the playoffs. So there's

522
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: notion that Seattle was some joke post their suite defense

523
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: is bullshit. They were always very competitive and they were

524
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: always a playoff team. So I'm just I'm I think

525
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: Denver is not gonna go well and last, and ultimately,

526
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick this team to win the division.

527
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I I said what I said about Tom

528
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: Brady last week, did I completely understood about being forty

529
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: five year old years old and having issues with just

530
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: the way the NFL operates? Why because no one forty

531
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: five is in the NFL most forty five Hell, half

532
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: the good coaches in the league are under forty five

533
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: years old. Forty five year olds are not supposed to

534
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: be star players in pro sports. It's unprecedented territory. And

535
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: part of the reason what makes it so crazy about

536
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: Tom is his kids and now the reports which anyone

537
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: who's been in any relationship could have told you from

538
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: a mile away, like, yeah, I bet there's some weird

539
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: stuff going on at home, because it's natural when weird

540
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: stuff goes on at home. It impacts you in real life,

541
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: in your job, with your friends. It has direct impact

542
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: on how you live your life. If you're in a

543
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: serious relationship, you have a fiance, you're married, we've all

544
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: been through either breakups or turmoil in a relationship. If

545
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't impact you, you don't give a shit about her, right,

546
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: if you just do a little bit, it does impact

547
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: you greatly. And this notion that Tom Brady, who was

548
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: one of the most driven individuals in the history of

549
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: pro sports, who spends Like, let's face it, I've always

550
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: said this, and Coward was on this a decade ago.

551
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: I remember being in college listening. I was like, I

552
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: love this take about how the media is obsessed, like

553
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: you gotta be balanced, Like there's some jobs you don't

554
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: get to be balanced. Right, some of my friends, their

555
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: dads couldn't make Little League. You think it's because they

556
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to make Little League. No, they had to work,

557
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, not not everything is equal. Some people have jobs,

558
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: how they work at night, they can't be home for

559
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: dinner with their family. You think you don't want to

560
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: be home at dinner with their family. Well, some don't,

561
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: but some do. And you just can't make it, you know.

562
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: Just every industry is a little different. And the way

563
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: football works for five six months out of the year

564
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: when you play quarterback, especially with Tom Brady, you know,

565
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: puts into it. You don't have much time and clearly

566
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: his family and it feels like his wife does not

567
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: want this anymore and it's creating a lot of drama

568
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: where he literally just left training camp for eleven days.

569
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: So how can I think that Tom, who is still

570
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: an awesome player. I've said this over and over, and

571
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: everyone that's watched these guys play would have to agree.

572
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Drew brees arm fell off, Paid Manning's arm fell off.

573
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger could not throw. That's the reason those guys couldn't

574
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: keep playing their right arms. They weren't any good anymore

575
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: throwing the football. Tom Brady still throws a football at

576
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: an elite level. We've all watched them, we all agree,

577
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: but what turns out might take them down is not

578
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: acts football because the guy has mattered football. He's mastered

579
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: the pliability, he's mastered at all. But your home, whatever

580
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: is going on, and the more and more intense it gets.

581
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of people. I'm not saying, I'm

582
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: not trying to act. I don't know anything beside whatever

583
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: on the internet. But let's just say, you know, there's

584
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: words divorced being thrown around people listening. They've gone through divorces.

585
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: I've known a couple of people. It's hard, it's not easy.

586
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: And listen to someone that's never had to go through one.

587
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: I can't imagine going through it and then trying to

588
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: be locked in, especially as things go on at work

589
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: or hell, just breakups, or just when she's really mad

590
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: at you. These are human reactions going on. So the

591
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: Bucks didn't sniff the playoffs for twelve years before Tom

592
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: got there, didn't sniff it. They were a joke franchise

593
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: and Tom came and he saved him. Now they have

594
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. But if Tom ever disappears or

595
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: retires or has to miss a couple of games to

596
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: go to the Hamas, they're fucked. We all acknowledge that.

597
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: And you could argue if Tom is not able to

598
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: super focus and be completely present, which might be difficult

599
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: if you have crazy things going on at home, Like

600
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: I, I I just I'm out on them. And I worked

601
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: with Todd Bowls for a couple of years in Philadelphia.

602
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: I like Todd Bowls. I think he's, you know, a

603
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: pretty impressive guy. I've said over and over in the NFL,

604
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: Like I get in a lot of industries, while you

605
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: want to keep moving up the ranks, because there's a

606
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: big deal of like making nine d K and making

607
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: two twenty making d K and making five hundred with

608
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of bonuses. When you get into normal people money,

609
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: the difference of going up the rings dramatically changes your life,

610
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: gives you the ability to buy a five or home,

611
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: or home gives you the ability to qualify for a

612
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: loan or pay for your kid to go to private school. Whatever.

613
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: When you're talking about NFL number two's defensive coordinate, the

614
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: average defensive coordinator in the NFL makes close to two

615
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: million dollars. Several of them are over three. Todd Bowles

616
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: would have been one of those guys. You get paid

617
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: a premium to be a number two, and there's nothing

618
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: wrong with it. Most jobs, when you're not the head

619
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: anto don't pay two point three million dollars. So I've

620
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: always thought he's an elite number two. He is, you

621
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: know him fans your best defensive coordinators in the league.

622
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's head coach. And when you're a coordinator,

623
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with your quarterback having Merrilow issues.

624
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: That's what the head coach deals with. You don't have

625
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: to deal with players having issues that aren't on your

626
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: side of the ball. That changes when you're the head hancho.

627
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I just I I would say

628
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: that I actually feel the most confident about that that

629
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: the tampas and shambles Belichick last year and Denver I

630
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about Denver, Tampa. I'll be honest

631
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: with you. Let's pick some division winners. I feel pretty

632
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: confident about absolutely the majority of them. I just went

633
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: one outside the box one because you know, I needed

634
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: to mix it up, and I don't really feel great

635
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: about that division. I just refused to pick down a selling.

636
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: But we'll get to the NFC second, start with the

637
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: a f C. We'll start East Coast, move West, the

638
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: a f C East. I think this is one like

639
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: you don't need to overthink it, like who's gonna win

640
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: the SEC West Alabama? Who's gonna win the SEC East Georgia?

641
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win the a f C East? The Bills?

642
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's just pretty easy, you know,

643
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: this is this is not well. I can see Mike

644
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: McDaniel and the no, just the Bills. The Bills are

645
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: gonna win this division. They are easily one of the

646
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl favorites. If Josh Allen keeps playing like that,

647
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: they could go on a couple of year run. This

648
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: is to me the easiest Bills. I mean, I wrote

649
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: it down so fast, like most of you, that's the

650
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: easy one to pick. They're really good. Their quarterbacks in

651
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: the peak of his powers. They have a good roster.

652
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the division is that good. Love the Bills,

653
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: the a f C. South. I'm torn because my guy

654
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: John Robinson study GM, his head coach, absolute baller. But

655
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: I do think the Titans might take a little bit

656
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: of a step back this year to maybe take a

657
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: couple of steps forward in the next couple of years

658
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: transition to Malik Willis. Maybe need a year for trailing

659
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Burks to kind of figure it out. Harold Landry just

660
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: towards a c L because I think a lot of

661
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: Titans fan would be like that, you're gonna pick the Colts.

662
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Everyone's always blowing the Colts, Chris Ballard, this, Chris Powart, Frank.

663
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't even think Frank's that great of a coach.

664
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: One of my bullet predictions might have been, like, if

665
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: the Colts don't make the playoffs, Frank's gonna get fired,

666
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: because I don't think Chris Ballard would, but Frank would

667
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: get fired. And I would say if somehow the Titans

668
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: win this division, because I don't think they necessarily should,

669
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: but if they do, I think Frank's fired. But if

670
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: Frank is just solid, which you know, I'm still gonna

671
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: lean that he is. I'm gonna pick the Colts to

672
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: win that division. So I got the Bills, the Colts,

673
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: the a f C North. This one was a hard one.

674
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: Right now, Lamar Jackson has not signed a new contract.

675
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: So maybe this week he refused to practice. I don't know.

676
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: I would not. Like Lamar, you need to draw a

677
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: line in the sand. You can't keep practicing. Stop practicing.

678
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: Tell them, hey, John, Hey, Coach Harbaugh. Wednesday at practice,

679
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna be there. I'm gonna be standing on

680
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: the sideline drinking gatoring. So until we figure out this

681
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: contract and you give me a hundred seventy million dollars

682
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: or like Lamar, you're not gonna get a fully guaranteed deal.

683
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: Coward at a good point, like, just because one business

684
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: is a disaster, doesn't mean every other well run business

685
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: copies that. Just because the Browns gave a dude that

686
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: has half of the massage therapists and Texas coming after

687
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: him two or thirty million dollars guaranteed, does that mean

688
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: that anyone else is gonna copy that? Right? You see

689
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: what the Waltons just did. They gave Russell Wilson a

690
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: hundred sixty million dollars. The Ravens like they plan on

691
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: giving Lamar that too, So Lamar signed that deal. Hundred

692
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: six hundred seventy. Listen, I would say, hundred seventy final number.

693
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: Put it on paper, I'll sign it. Sign that deal practice.

694
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: I do like the Ravens doin that division, and that's

695
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: not a lot of Bengals fans. I think you guys

696
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: are a lock playoff team. I think those two teams

697
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: are right there with the Bills in the Chiefs like

698
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: the the f C is loaded, I'm giving the slight

699
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: edge to the Ravens. Now something gets weird with the contract,

700
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: I would immediate lean the Bengals. I think the Bengals

701
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: are good. I am not a Bengal hater. Love their quarterback,

702
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: love their weapons. Coach, you know, we'll see. But as

703
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: long as you got Joe Burrow. Sometimes good quarter good

704
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks make average coaches look pretty good. The f C

705
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: West that this one's honestly pretty easy for me. I've

706
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people picking a lot of other teams.

707
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: I do think the Chargers have one of the best,

708
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: if not the best, rosters in the League. But I

709
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: can't pick Brandon Staley two out like it's just like

710
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: I can't do it now. I think the Chargers are

711
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna be the playoffs. If I had to rank this division,

712
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm going the Chiefs to win it. I don't know,

713
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: they just wanted six straight years. I'd go the Chargers

714
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: to I'd go the Raiders three, and I would go

715
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos four. Now as crazy as when I say

716
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: that Broncos could get weird, they still could go eight,

717
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: nine or nine and eight. Like to me, it's not

718
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: inconceivable that the Chiefs go twelve and five. Two other

719
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: teams go ten and seven, and Broncos go nine and eight.

720
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: But the pressure and all the any team in this division,

721
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: like if the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs would be

722
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: devastating because they view themselves as an elite powerhouse. But ultimately,

723
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: no one's getting fire or anything's gonna happen. The other teams,

724
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: it would get weird fast, especially with the Broncos. Especially

725
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. But I'm taking the Chiefs. Let's go

726
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: to the Let's go to the NFC. I was tempted

727
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: to go a little outside the box. Washington Football team Commanders,

728
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: but I've had a Calvito myself. The last two teams

729
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: have kicked Wentz to the curb, and it's hard to

730
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: forget those last two games last year against the Raiders

731
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: and the UH and the Jack's I mean that Jack's game.

732
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: He just there's sometimes a stench. You know, as I

733
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: was a kid, if you got sprayed by skunk, they

734
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: put you in a tomato juice is like gonna not

735
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: make you. I never got sprayed by skunk, but happened

736
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: to dogs, so you had to wash the dog off.

737
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to like Carson Wentz has skunk all over

738
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: him right now, and if he doesn't clean himself right now,

739
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: you never shake that stinch. He has one weird year

740
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: from kind of being out of the league. I'm gonna

741
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: lean with the the Eagles here, and it's it's less.

742
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles roster is excellent. The quarterback, you know,

743
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm torn on this one because I didn't like him

744
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: at at all coming out and even last year at

745
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: times like I don't know, I don't I don't really

746
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: see it. It's not really my style of guy, you know.

747
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: I like big arm guys that can slant you know,

748
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: I like Herbert, I like Gosh Allen, I like Brady.

749
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: I loved Roethlisberger. I like big guys throwing darts. And

750
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: that's not really Jalen's deal. But the other thing that

751
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: I really like, and this is Listen. I respect them

752
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: most about the Cowboys, Dak Prescott. I love players who

753
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: do everything humanly possible to maximize their career. And I

754
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: was reading Albert Brewer this morning and he was just

755
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: saying one of Jalen's greatest characteristics is how much he

756
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: likes football. And it's why during the draft process we

757
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: talk all the time about you really need to like

758
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: football because ultimately it takes so much of your time.

759
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: It takes so much of your effort. It forces you intellectually. Physically,

760
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: it's so hard. You just so much more than you play.

761
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: You're always in the weight room. It's hard unless you're

762
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: just some all time physical freak to be good at

763
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: football without loving it. It's another thing that always bothers

764
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: me about the media during the the unnamed scouts, when

765
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, he just doesn't like football, Like that's

766
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: some people in college. Not everyone likes football, you know,

767
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: some people like football more than others that play it now,

768
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Julio Jones said he doesn't watch football. You know, it

769
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter the majority of his career for Julio Jones.

770
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: You know why, he's six four, he's two fifteen. He

771
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: can run a four three. He's bigger, faster and has

772
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: better hands than you, and he clearly likes playing football.

773
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: But most good football players, I would say, tend to

774
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 1: be football junkies. They love the workouts, they love the practicing,

775
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: they love the game. And I I do think we

776
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: could see a very solid year at the Jalen and

777
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: a little bit like the You know, I still think

778
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are probably a playoff team because the NFC

779
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: relative the a f C is not close to his good.

780
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Philly and honestly, winning this division

781
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: might be ten and seven. You know, I think the

782
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: Eagles could probably get to eleven and six and it

783
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me the you know McCarthy led boys or

784
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: nine and eight or ten and seven. But I'm gonna

785
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: give the slight edge to the Birds. Um the NFC

786
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: sell well if I'm not gonna take Tampa, because I'm not,

787
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: I just cannot bet on Dennis Allen. When I worked

788
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: in radio, I did the Raiders games, and I know

789
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: their team wasn't great, but I couldn't take Dennis Allen

790
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: seriously as a head coach. Now, I do think he's

791
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: proven to be a very good defensive coordinator. But like

792
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: I said, I just said about Todd Bowles, Dennis Allen

793
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: like you were made just to make two million dollars

794
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: every single year, and he'd be like, what do you

795
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: mean they just offered me six and a half seven

796
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: to be the head coach. I understand why these guys

797
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: take it, but ultimately you lose your job. And I'm

798
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: just not betting on Dennis Allen. Could be wrong. Maybe

799
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: their teams just so good. Maybe Jamis is just a

800
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: new guy. But I'm taking the Carolina Panthers. I needed

801
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: to have one. There was a little off the rails. Uh.

802
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: I do think Carolina could be really really good on defense. Uh.

803
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: They were solid on defense last year. J C. Horn

804
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: if he says healthy their fronts good offense was a

805
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: main issue. Sam Donald was terrible last season. Now I'm

806
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: not the biggest Baker Mayfield guy, but I have one take.

807
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Watching the preseason sitting at my lady's house on the iPad.

808
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: Just watching some preseason games, probably a couple of weeks ago,

809
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what Baker does. He looks

810
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: pretty natural in this Carolina jersey. Now to me Baker

811
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: when he's on, it's probably somewhere between fifteen and twenty.

812
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: If Christian ms McCaffrey can stay healthy, d J Moore

813
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: is a really good player. If they could just be

814
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: solid on offense and the division gets a little weird,

815
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: who knows, they would be my one sleeper pick. Now.

816
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: Matt Rule could also get fired by the end of October,

817
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: but I do not feel comfortable picking Campa Bay new

818
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: coach Brady in a weird place. I cannot take the

819
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: Saints with Dennis Allen as their head coach, so I

820
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: and I obviously I think the Falcons are gonna be

821
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the league. I'm gonna

822
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: go to Carolina Panthers, and last, but not least torn

823
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: on this one, the NFC West. I have the utmost

824
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: respect for the Rams. They've built. The way they've done

825
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: it is freaking awesome. I'm glad they've existed just in

826
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: sports the last couple of years to just be so different.

827
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: But last year the forty Niners went ten and seven

828
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo was all over the map and they

829
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: lost four games. Think about this. They swept the Rams

830
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: in the regular season, but they lost their other four

831
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: games in the division. They got swept by Arizona, one

832
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: of them was with Colt McCoy, who destroyed him. And

833
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: they got swept by Seattle, who wasn't very good in

834
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: one of those games. I guess they played Russell twice

835
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: if memory serves me correct. But they went two and

836
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: four in the division. So if you just go three

837
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: and three in the division, because I'll go, I would

838
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: expect them to split with the Rams. And let's just

839
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: say they split the other two teams and just go

840
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: three and three, which I easily think could turn into

841
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: four and two all of a sudden. Instead of being

842
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: a ten win team, you're floating with being a twelve

843
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: win team. And I do wonder, like, are the Rams

844
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: just gonna go back to back years win in twelve

845
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: or thirteen games. It's like, are they at the point

846
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: now a little bit like the Warriors where they know

847
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: they've gotten over the hump. They have some older star

848
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: veteran players where the key is just to be right

849
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: by the playoffs. They know they can go on the

850
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: win on the road and win. Hell, they just did

851
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: it in the second round. They beat when they beat

852
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and let's face it, they kicked his ass.

853
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: So I wonder if they kind of pick and choose

854
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: their spots. Let's say Stafford. I mean, I know, I

855
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: saw McVeigh say that his his arm is good. But

856
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: I think the Niners just have a lot more urgency. Now.

857
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: You could go, well, Middlecoff, they got two quarterbacks, and

858
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, it's not ideal. I'd rather just have

859
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: the one quarterback. Uh, Jimmy Trey, who knows the way

860
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: that goes. But I've been going to NFL training camps

861
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: now for thirteen years. Their roster is as good as

862
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: any I've seen star players everywhere. And to me, they

863
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: went on a stretch last year where they just kind

864
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 1: of lost like three or four straight games. It started weird.

865
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: They went three and five. If they start faster, and

866
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: Kyle has hammered this home, we just start fat. When

867
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: I say start five, instead of being three or five,

868
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: just start you know, five and three. All of a sudden,

869
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: it's much easier to get to that eleven or twelve

870
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: game threshold. So I'm picking the Niners, but a lot

871
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: like the a f C. North Ravens. Uh Cincinnati in

872
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Niners Rams in the playoffs. Uh so yeah.

873
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: And then the team my worst team, I'm really torn

874
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: between the Bears or the Giants. That that one's a

875
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: hard one for me. I think the Bears are gonna

876
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: be really, really bad. It's one of my favorite bets

877
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: of this weekend would be the Niners versus Bears. I

878
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: think that matchup for the Bears is awful. The the

879
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: offensive line is horrendous. It's gonna get ugly for the Bears.

880
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: And I think the division, you know, I think the Packers.

881
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: NIC's get the Packers. I like the Packers in the North.

882
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: My bad, the Packers in the North in Minnesota, you know,

883
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm not. I think they're a little overrated. I think

884
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: they're a little overrated because they have a fundamental flaw

885
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: in a passing league. Their dbs aren't that good. They

886
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: can't really cover, so I mean, I know they could

887
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: score points. They scored points last year. Their offense has

888
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: not been the issue. Their defense under Zimmer used to

889
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: be awesome, and then it got weird that this notion

890
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: that like Kevin O'Connell, what he's gonna make Kirk Cousins

891
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: throw thirty eight touchdownds again, we saw that like jeff

892
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson keep dominating Dalvin Cook like he gets hurt sometimes.

893
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: Even though I like the backup running back, but I

894
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: think they got a fundamental I think they're overrat I

895
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm not with Colin on that twelve win team. Uh So,

896
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: my worst team would be the Bears or the Giants.

897
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: I saw today that Brian day Ball said that Mike Kafka,

898
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: who I like. I was with him in Philly when

899
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: we drafted him. He work with my guys in chiefs forever.

900
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: I think Mike half because a good young coach is

901
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: gonna call the place like, hey, Brian, they hired you

902
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: to call the place. That's your fucking job your I

903
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: don't understand when these young coaches get hired solid last

904
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: year defensive coordinator. You got the job because you're the coordinator.

905
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: When I hire you as the head coach, and I'm

906
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: giving you seven eight million dollars, I also want you

907
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: to do I don't know what you're good at. Like

908
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: when McVeigh gets hired, when Kyle gets hired, when the

909
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: Floor gets hired, when Kingsbury gets tired, just go in

910
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: the league, all the offensive coaches always call the plays. Well,

911
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: why is this guy not calling the place? I'm baffled.

912
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely that that one. If I was a Giants fan, Well,

913
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: the whole point of hiring you for what you were

914
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: doing with Buffalo. It feels like, are you not calling

915
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: the plays because you know we're gonna suck and you

916
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: know it could be ugly, so you want to have

917
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, as Chris Carter would say, a fall, guys

918
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: what it feels like a little bit? Uh. Two sleeper teams.

919
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if these are playoff teams, especially Houston,

920
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: but I think Houston could be just be feisty. I

921
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: know they're over under. I think was four and a half.

922
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: I like them to go over the Lions. And I'm

923
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: not just saying this because of Hard Knocks. I actually

924
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: only watched two episodes, even though I said I really

925
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: liked them. I think both those two teams wouldn't shock

926
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: me if one, if not two of them went seven

927
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: and ten. I think both are gonna be feisty all

928
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: year long. Like I said, I think the Vikings are overrated.

929
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, I think they can have a bizarre year. Uh.

930
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Mike McDaniel. I I enjoyed just his

931
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: press conference last year when Kyle made in the offensive coordinator.

932
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a unique football guy. That place is weird,

933
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: and that place consistently over the last twenty years, but

934
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: specifically with the the new owner just gets weird, and

935
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: it gets weird fast, and they add Tyreek Hill. Uh

936
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to uh. I think he sucks.

937
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: I just think it could get weird to get weird fast.

938
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: The Brady thing, the owner is always doing weird stuff.

939
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: Would it shock you if they're in the mix for

940
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton by Halloween. I just I don't know, man,

941
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I I don't. I don't see it. And Uh, I

942
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: think Arizona is gonna be a disaster this year. I

943
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: really do. When you look at the their season starts.

944
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: They open up against Kansas City at home. I love

945
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in that game, and then week two they

946
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: got the Raiders. It's I don't think it's inconceivable at

947
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: all they started going to remember last year, part of

948
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: the read what they hung their hat on is they

949
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: started so fast. They were undefeated, and um, I don't know.

950
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: And when I say disaster, they still have a lot

951
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: of talent like seven and ten, you know for a

952
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: team that just you know was competing. Honestly, if they

953
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: just win week what was eighteen, they win the division.

954
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: So I'm out. I mean, you guys know where I

955
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: stand on in Arizona. I'm out on them this year.

956
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes my m v P. I think I think

957
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: he's going to dominate this year. I think him Andy

958
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna be on a mission and on

959
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: a mission to dominate. It's why I love them Week one. Honestly,

960
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: my my prediction Week one would be thirty eight two

961
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: seven team something like that, Chiefs over the Cardinals. Um,

962
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: and I would say Joe Burrow would be right there.

963
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think Joe Burrow is gonna have another

964
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: fantastic here. Okay, just want to do a couple of

965
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: minutes on college football. First and foremost, I really don't

966
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: know how many of these people exist. I know a

967
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: couple of people have tried to make media careers with

968
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: hatred towards this conference. They've always been wrong, and the

969
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: the NFL stats of draft picks have never been in

970
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: their favor. Obviously Alabama's dominance. They've always leaned on that, well,

971
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: Alabama carries the conference well. Georgia won the national championship

972
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: last year, l s U a couple of years previous,

973
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: uh so other teams when it Obviously Auburn has won

974
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: it when when Urban was there, Florida's won it. But

975
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: I've always said this was such a stupid argument. You're

976
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: defined as a conference by who's at the top, Like

977
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: the Big Ten doesn't get a lot of extra credit

978
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: just because like Iowa solid. It's considered right there with

979
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: the SEC, because Ohio State, right, because Ohio State has

980
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: had their moments with Urban, not with Ryan Day where

981
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: their equals to l s U, Georgia Obama, right they hell,

982
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: they beat Bama once in the College Football Playoffs. But

983
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,479
Speaker 1: you can't watch these games and tell me anything else

984
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: that the SEC isn't dramatically better than everyone else. They're bigger,

985
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,959
Speaker 1: they're faster, they're stronger now the knock I think years ago.

986
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: You know, they quarterbacks are not as well coached obviously,

987
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: George and Alabama right now are on a tier all

988
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: by themselves. No one else is even close. I'm recording

989
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 1: this before Clemson has played, and Dabbo has accomplished way

990
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: more than Ryan Day. So if we're gonna lean again,

991
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe they get upset or something. To me, I I

992
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: just can't put Ryan like. I don't trust Ryan Day Like.

993
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: Let's just put the coaches in the tears with Urban

994
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: no longer being in college football, and I guess he

995
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: would be the only guy. It's Nick clearly by himself.

996
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: And then to me, there's the next here, and I

997
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,479
Speaker 1: would place Kirby clearly by himself. Then if you wanted

998
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: to put the Ryan Days and the Lincoln Riley's kind

999
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: of there would just some unknowns. Both of them got

1000
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: to the playoffs a lot. Both of them got smacked

1001
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But right now, the two best coaches

1002
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: in the country are in the SEC. The two best

1003
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: coaches in the country have the best teams. Uh, and

1004
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: then but okay, let's just if you want to just well,

1005
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: what about everyone else? Well, Florida beat Utah, the PACT

1006
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: twelve's best team, and let's face the Utah is the

1007
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: Pac twelve's best team by a pretty wide margin. Tennessee.

1008
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: I was drinking when they were playing, but I remember

1009
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 1: watching them thinking like Josh Hypel was good, like Josh

1010
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: Hypel was a legitimate coach. Tennessee is good, Kentucky's good,

1011
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: Texas and m is good. L s U sucks, but

1012
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: all mrs now solid. The SEC just has better players

1013
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: than everyone else. It's not arguable anymore. It's the best

1014
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: conference in the country, the second best conference. And now

1015
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: they're at in Texas and Oklahoma. Obviously Alabama plays Texas

1016
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: this week and they're gonna kill them. But Oklahoma is

1017
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: really good. They're an SEC program, you know. So. I

1018
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: I just the argument died years ago. Anyone saying it

1019
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: now is just a complete hater, And sometimes being a

1020
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: hater is kind of fun. I think I was considered

1021
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: or can be, like with the Arizona Cardinals. Maybe, uh

1022
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: what else could I be a hater of? That might

1023
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: be it? But uh, I don't know, man, I just

1024
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: I can't. Arkansas had five in Arkansas this weekend. What

1025
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: did they beat? I don't know, Cincinnati, and they could

1026
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: have won that game by more, but a nice little win.

1027
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: Sam Pittman's good. Arkansas is a legitimate program like the

1028
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: athletic programs. Because of the money saved, it is brought

1029
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: in there better at now everything all the other sports

1030
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: to see how good the SEC basketball teams were this year,

1031
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: Like the SEC has kind of past everybody. Now, you know,

1032
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: if Michigan is really good, if Michigan State is good,

1033
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: maybe the Big Ten can be right there. I will

1034
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,959
Speaker 1: look terrible on offense. Well, Wisconsin plays Washington State this week,

1035
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: but the SEC is clearly the best conference. And I mean,

1036
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: let's face it, if you wanted to find the national

1037
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: championship this year, Alabama and Georgia should just play a

1038
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: seven game series because no one belongs in the field

1039
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: with them. And like I said, Kirby is I think

1040
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: he's he's the real deal the SEC. He now has

1041
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: two Alabama's. One just happens to playing Athens Georgia. A

1042
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: lot of people have tried to copy the Nick blueprint.

1043
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: He's figured it out and he's got them rolling, because

1044
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: holy shit, Dan Landing, is he good? Is he not?

1045
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: I got no clue, but I will try not to

1046
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: judge him off that game I always hate. I heard

1047
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: Rassilla I was getting some lunch today. Listen to his podcast.

1048
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: He had a good stat He said, forty of the

1049
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: Division one starting quarterbacks were transfers in two thousand twenty two.

1050
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: So these are guys that have transferred this year that started,

1051
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, the bow Knicks, the Jackson Darts, the Caleb Williams.

1052
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching bow Knicks and it always bothers me. I

1053
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: got no problem when you when you get a transfer

1054
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields or Caleb Williams, like a no brainer,

1055
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: bo Nicks, Like we've seen bow Knicks. Come on, we're

1056
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: gonna can't do better than that at quarterback. I'm not

1057
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: blaming bow Knicks for that game, but like you're gonna

1058
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: start bow Knicks. He you tell me how great the

1059
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: recruiting is, and even Kirby said after the game, like

1060
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: our players are just way better than their players. Well,

1061
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: part of the reason I've supported Marios. He's a great recruiter.

1062
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: So we have to acknowledge this. If you're getting the

1063
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 1: eighth best class, the team's getting one and two Baman

1064
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: Georgia and Texas A and m I think right up

1065
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: there too. You know these last several years that there's

1066
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: a different level of kids, even in the top ten,

1067
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: Like how many of those guys that Mario is landing

1068
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: at Oregon did Nick even want? Then Kurbin that Kirby

1069
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: wanted Cabal and Thibodeaux like two. I mean, honestly, how

1070
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: many guys total were they interested in? Because I'll tell

1071
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: you this, Mario was interested in every guy they got.

1072
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: And as we saw, we saw the same players in

1073
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: the recruiting classes on the field, and Georgia looked like

1074
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: J V VERSU varsity in Oregon. At the end of

1075
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: the day, it's probably a nine win team, you think,

1076
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: But who knows, maybe bow next, maybe Dan Landing is

1077
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: not that good. Uh. And like I said, Ryan Day,

1078
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: it was a little unfair that Hardbos said he was

1079
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: born on third base, because I don't think he was

1080
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: born on third base, but he did inherit like if

1081
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: if Saban retired tomorrow or you know, at the end

1082
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: of the year and someone takes over his program like

1083
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and takes over the Alabama program like Bill

1084
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: O'Brien in terms of now he's proven that he can

1085
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: be a successful coach, has made the playoffs and the

1086
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, he took over for Joe paternal It's a

1087
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: little different than Ryan Day, who had never been a

1088
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: head coach, but ultimate and that point is Bill Bryan

1089
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: would have a huge advantage. He would inherit everything. And

1090
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they would hire Bill O'Brian. I'm

1091
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: sure Lane would want the job, but you know what

1092
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: I mean, if Lane got the job, you'd say a

1093
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: guy Lane was born on third base. Like Ryan Day,

1094
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,959
Speaker 1: there is an element he took over for urban Meyer

1095
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: when he had the program absolutely rolling at Georgia, Obama

1096
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: and Clemson levels. And I'm watching him, I go, everyone

1097
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: acts like he's on these guys level, Like I don't know,

1098
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: he's good. I think he's solid. But I think anyone

1099
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: this Ohio State fan that's listening to this, like you

1100
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: guys saw urban Meyer, he ain't that. And the problem

1101
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: is for a program like yours, like that's what you want.

1102
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: You want Kirby Smart, You obviously want Nick Saban, You've

1103
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: had it before in Urban Meyer. And I'm just watching

1104
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Day going, yeah, you know that, I don't know,

1105
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: just a lot of hype. Yeah, just like Billy Napier,

1106
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: like Billion Napier one game, Florida's programs kind of in shambles.

1107
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: Get Utah, who's a legitimate program, beats him. If you

1108
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: told me I've seen the guy coach one game in

1109
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: a Power five, but I've seen Billy Napier coach at

1110
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: a smaller school. The guy's kicking ass. Who would you

1111
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: bet on the next five years Billy Napier Or what

1112
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: if I told you that Billy Napiers better than like

1113
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: Ryan Day and Mario? Is that outrageous? I know some

1114
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: people in the business would say, yeah, he might be

1115
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: Billy Napier. That was a big time win because we

1116
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: know Kyle Whittingham is a big time coach. Kyle Whittingham

1117
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: would have beat Ryan Day if he didn't play running

1118
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: backs at quarterback because they were all injured, like well

1119
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 1: middle calf, all the guys sitting out, well, yeah, everyone

1120
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: always gets on their knees and gives Ryan Day to

1121
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: reach around when about his recruiting. So if you tell

1122
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: me he's recruiting is great last year with Utah, how

1123
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: many players as Utah have that Ryan Day would even want.

1124
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: I just think that I don't know, man, I I

1125
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we can put guys on pedestals like

1126
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: they are like two really good coaches and Lincoln Like I,

1127
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: Lincoln is a little bit like Ryan Day. I think

1128
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: Lincoln is really good, but he also inherited Oklahoma made

1129
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But we get to the playoffs, he gets smoked. USC.

1130
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: Like I I can't make any judgments off a game

1131
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: against Rice. I'm so tired of these games. How how

1132
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: is your USC playing Rice? Is a fucking embarrassment. Michigan

1133
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: this week is a fifty one point favorite against Why well?

1134
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: What are we doing playing these games now? Is the

1135
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: Pact or not? The PAC twelve? Is the college football

1136
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: expanding twelve games? Is it cool? In theory? It is?

1137
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: But Georgia's one or two and they're playing Oregon that's eleven? Like,

1138
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen a lot. Some of these teams are

1139
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,959
Speaker 1: gonna get killed. Part of the reason that makes March

1140
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: Madness so fun is we get a lot of upsets?

1141
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: Are we gonna get a lot of upsets? How off

1142
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: a new upsets happen in college football? Think about the

1143
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: last however many years in college football? How many upsets

1144
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: we saw? Doesn't feel like we saw that many. The

1145
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: biggest one was when Ohio State beat Baama, but a

1146
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 1: couple of years later that game at age pretty well,

1147
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: We're like, wait, they had Joey Bosa, they had Zeke

1148
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas like that. That team, it turned out,

1149
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: was a team built like Alabama and they had Urban Meyer.

1150
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: But I actually which makes Mark Madness so cool. As

1151
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: you get upsets every single round, gonzagat number one all

1152
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: year long, gets bounced like the Sweet six team, like

1153
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: George Obama, Ohio State. These teams are getting bounced early.

1154
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: We we we saw it last year. I'll give Cincinnati a

1155
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: shot and we did and it was ugly. Michigan finally

1156
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: got it and then they got curb stopped. Uh everyone

1157
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: And I put money on Florida State and I simply

1158
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: did it, not because I like have a great feel

1159
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: for either team, but I saw value. They were an underdog.

1160
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: L s U was a joke program these last couple

1161
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: of years, that Ocean like a pretty big embarrassment for

1162
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: relative to what they are, and coming off the national

1163
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: championship in nineteen, they are down like they have a

1164
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: lot of issues. Starting Jayden Daniels to me is a

1165
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: reflection like their programs and shambles. Guy was an average

1166
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in the Pack twelve at some moments, like as

1167
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: a true freshman, was like all Jade Daniels. You watch

1168
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: him last night, He's like a running back like Jaden Daniels.

1169
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: That guy is gonna be your starting quarterback. Brian Kelly

1170
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: had has proven he can win l s U program

1171
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: needs a huge reset. This year could be kind of ugly.

1172
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: They might go seven and five, and he's gonna get

1173
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: beat up because in the SEC, it's like the NFL,

1174
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: you win or go home. People do not tolerate losing.

1175
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's gonna tolerate losing either, but

1176
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna lose this year and he's gonna try to

1177
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: basically blow the thing up and be solid next year

1178
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: because I I just they're not very good. And if

1179
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback is Jade Daniels, who was running for

1180
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: his life against Florida State, well what's gonna happen when

1181
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: you play Alabama? I don't know if you saw a

1182
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: text A and M. They've been recruiting five star elite

1183
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: SEC guys, not not the Mario guys Oregon, because we

1184
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: saw the Mario guys in Oregon don't look like the

1185
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: five star guys at the SEC, Like they just look different.

1186
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: I see him on the same field. One guy runs

1187
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: faster than the other. So I don't really know what's

1188
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: going on. I just judge you when you're both playing

1189
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: college football in high school rankings are over and I

1190
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: watch you play. One guy faster and hits harder than

1191
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: the other guys. So now I'm watching Brian Kelly's team,

1192
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: like in theory, they have some guys, but it feels

1193
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: like they're not even close because I'm watching the talent

1194
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: from Florida State and I'm watching the talent for l

1195
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: s U and I'm not seven Rivals dot Com guy here,

1196
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: and I just go, I don't see the difference in

1197
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: the talent, and relative to what L s U was

1198
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with that Borough team, it's

1199
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: sure as hell doesn't look like that. So I think

1200
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: everyone beating up on Brian Kelly rightfully. So it's the

1201
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: way college football works. But they're gonna suck, like I

1202
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: expect them to not be good. Uh, And yeah, I

1203
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: think that's probably wraps it up. I think this college

1204
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: football season, like, I think what's cool about it is

1205
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: the games are very entertaining. It's a very entertaining product.

1206
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: You're watching the Appalachian State North Carolina game, you're watching

1207
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: just some of these random games throughout the country that

1208
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: are compelling, are tight. But it does have a little

1209
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: bit of a feel like when Michael Jordan was playing

1210
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: in the NBA, or when Tiger Woods was playing in

1211
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: the peak of his golf powers, and like the early

1212
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: two thousands, like we know who's gonna win Alabama and Georgia.

1213
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: Like it's just like those two teams if you just

1214
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: watched bits and pieces of every games like those the

1215
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: two best teams. Blake Anderson, who's the coach at Utah State,

1216
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: he said, in my thirty years of coaching, that's the

1217
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: best team I've ever seen. Talking about Alabama, we know

1218
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: how good Kirby's team is, so these we we've got

1219
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: two team. It's a two horse race. That's what it

1220
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: feels like. Though. What makes the sport of football fund

1221
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: is it doesn't feel like that ruins the year. But

1222
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I think we all can acknowledge Baman Georgia are gonna

1223
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: play in the SEC Championship game and then they're gonna

1224
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: play again in the national title. It would take a

1225
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: major injury, probably to Bryce Young or I don't even

1226
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: know if Georgia has an injury that derails their season

1227
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: because they're they're not dependent on their quarterback, even though

1228
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: their quarterback looked pretty good. Sometimes these Pack twelve teams,

1229
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: they get involved in these games and then they just

1230
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: get embarrassed. It's like, God, you wonder why our conference

1231
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: at West blew up? Can we ever win a big game?

1232
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Saw in the last nine games Pack twelve against the SEC,

1233
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, in an opening games or early season games

1234
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: one in eight it's uh, it's ugly, Uh, it really is.

1235
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: And as Lessen big ten, I know, you get you

1236
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: get cocky two because you think you matter, and you

1237
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: do financially you matter, You get a huge TV ratings,

1238
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: you got some power brands. They kick your ass too.

1239
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, let's not act like you're their equals. Urban

1240
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Myer ain't walking through the door, Ryan Da ain't beating

1241
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: those two teams that ain't happen. Okay Middlecoff mail back

1242
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those d

1243
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 1: M s. If I just sit on the college football part,

1244
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: which I'm pretty sure I did, my I wouldn't say

1245
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: my brains firing on all cylinders. I'm kind of like

1246
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: l s U football right now struggling. But if I

1247
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: said and I left out Dabbo Sweeney, you know I

1248
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: had Saven one, I would have Dabbo two and then

1249
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: Kirby three. I mean that was won a couple of

1250
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: chat titles. Now, I would say Kirby right now is

1251
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: very very close to his level, because it's sure feels

1252
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: like Kirby Kirby and ending at one like kind of

1253
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: like he's got another one coming. Uh. He's the real deal, man,

1254
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: he really is. Been listening to you for a while.

1255
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Grew up a Big Bills fan and been a dream

1256
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: of mine to live in America. The weather here in

1257
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: England is shitty anyways, work my ass off to get

1258
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: into UC Berkeley next year. But one thing I'll miss

1259
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: is our golf courses since you know the area. Any

1260
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: recommendations near San fran that won't break the bank, Yeah,

1261
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: it's it's a problem. Golf in the Bay area is

1262
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: extremely expensive. I would say the shittiest course you know,

1263
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost you eight dollars, So you know Harding Park.

1264
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: Once you become a resident of the Bay you can play.

1265
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I think it's like a hundred twenty bucks might even

1266
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: be higher. All the golf is really expensive. Boundary Oaks

1267
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: where I live in Walnut Creek, Uh, we'll live would

1268
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: be strong. I haven't been there in a month, but

1269
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: where I have a condo, who knows I'll ever go back,

1270
01:02:56,080 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: might never. It's it's actually hotter in Scottsdale today, or

1271
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: excuse me, it's hotter in Walnut Creek a d thirteen

1272
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: degrees than it is where I'm at a hundred six

1273
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: in Scottsdale. So you know, they say it was like, oh,

1274
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna leave to eat. It's like, well, shit, It's

1275
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: like I where I live it's hot all the time.

1276
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: Now it's not usually one thirteen, but it consistently gets

1277
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: in the hunters Uh. Boundary Oaks Walnut Creek is not bad.

1278
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: The public golf in the East space pretty bad. Obviously,

1279
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: country Club if you're college kid, probably gonna be out

1280
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: of your price range. Um, I'm trying to I used

1281
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: to drive to Napa, uh Chardonnay and uh Eagle Vines

1282
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: kind of a sleeper place, especially in the weekdays, and

1283
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: from you and Berkeley probably twenty five minutes away. Two

1284
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: kind of cool public courses that you can play for

1285
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: relatively cheap. How many beers in this is just responding

1286
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: to my stories A lot from the Valley Modesto now

1287
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: live in Ohio, Love the Go Lopod thought you might

1288
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: like this, get a laugh Lives spent all their money

1289
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: on the players and settled for interns as the camera crew.

1290
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Hey Man just wanted to reach out and see if

1291
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: you'd answer some questions I have for you. Then he said,

1292
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: just saw this now. But Notre Dame with the points

1293
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: was Locksville fun the Utes. I was rooting for the Utes. Uh,

1294
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, I I was. I stayed away from gambling

1295
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: on Notre Dame Ohio State, you know, first time. I

1296
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: guess it's technically a second game, but I mean his

1297
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: first real game. A bowl game doesn't necessarily matter, especially

1298
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: when the coach just left. Now Grantity lost, but you know,

1299
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: I thought Ohio State was gonna kill him. Now. I

1300
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: was at a bar. It was pretty packed and the

1301
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: TV with Notre Dame game was kind of on the

1302
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: other end, and I remember looking up and Notre Dame

1303
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: was winning. It's like, that's pretty nuts. But obviously they

1304
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,959
Speaker 1: didn't win, but they did cover the seventeen points. Which

1305
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, good teams win, great teams cover Davis verse Cow.

1306
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Did you find a bar in Nashville playing that game.

1307
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm a hand listener and played at Cow during the

1308
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Dike's doldrums. Saw you were in town, so I had

1309
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: to see if you found a spot. I did not.

1310
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Um Guy Habrman was on the call with Shane Vereen.

1311
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: That would have been a big deal in my family

1312
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: if I mean it's it is, But I mean my

1313
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: dad really cared about UC Davis athletics and he grew

1314
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: up loving Cal. He would have would have taken a

1315
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,479
Speaker 1: lot of pride in that game. I'll be honest. Didn't

1316
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,919
Speaker 1: watch a snap now, small world, justin Wilcox, Oregon guy

1317
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: made his career kind of a boise. Dan Hawkins, who

1318
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: was a UC Davis guy, but then he made his

1319
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: career a boise, but then he kind of failed at Colorado.

1320
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: Now he's coaching at UC Davis. But again, didn't watch

1321
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: one snap. Hey, first time, long time. Actually just got

1322
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: into your pot recently, and i'vecome a big fan. I

1323
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: know you're not a big fantasy guy. A bit curious

1324
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: on your take when it comes to Penny team names.

1325
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Do you believe you need to have that player on

1326
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: your team or as funny as funny, and it doesn't

1327
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: matter if you ever have physical therapy questions come for

1328
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: advice those guys, Yeah, I mean my whole body hurts.

1329
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: I think a funny name is a funny name. I'm

1330
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: obviously not a huge fantasy football player. But if you

1331
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: have a funny name. I remember someone had a name

1332
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: it hurts when I fart, I mean, it hurts when

1333
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I fart is absolutely incredible. And if you don't have

1334
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: arts or I hurt on your team, that name is

1335
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: still brilliant. I I would be hard pressed to find

1336
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: a better fantasy football team name. Then it hurts when

1337
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I first, it hurts when I fart. I mean that's

1338
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: now if you had one of the two guys in

1339
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: your team, that would probably make it. So I'm an

1340
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: agreement there, Hi, John. A tendency that I noticed was

1341
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Russell Wilson, and now I've heard the Josh Josh Allen.

1342
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: All played baseball. They all have hoses for an arm.

1343
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: If I were in your shoes, I might want to

1344
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: take a look at college quarterbacks that have played. And

1345
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: we're successful at baseball, But we're also quarterbacks. College recruiters

1346
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: have said they like athletes that have played multiple sports.

1347
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Connection I think so Kaepernick baseball player had a big arm.

1348
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes baseball player big arm. Yeah, I mean, I I

1349
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not in the business of of signing

1350
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: or drafting these guys. So I mean I I would

1351
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: imagine scouting departments talk about that a lot. You know

1352
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: where I stand. I'm a big arm guy. I like

1353
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with big arms. I also think it's very, very weird,

1354
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and I understand I don't have kids, and it was

1355
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 1: so different. I mean, I grew up in the late

1356
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: mid nineties early two thousand's, nobody isolated with one sport.

1357
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Clearly that is not the case anymore now, unless you're

1358
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: like Lebron James and your kid is brawny. You know,

1359
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: have your kids play all the sports, swimming, soccer, basketball, football, baby,

1360
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: let him do whatever they want. I never understand, like

1361
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: my more than likely your kid is not playing college athletics.

1362
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Just let him enjoy sports, and if he does turn

1363
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: out to be good at him, then maybe he can

1364
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: become a little more focused when he's sixteen, seventeen years old.

1365
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: But some of these people that are so focused on

1366
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: their kids at like ten years old on one sport

1367
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: seems insanity to me. So just I know you weren't

1368
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: necessarily asking this question. I don't think enough kids play

1369
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: all the sports. Basically every kid I know growing up now,

1370
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: none of them, I would say, became pro athletes, but

1371
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: played every sport when we were kids. Now and then

1372
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: as you like, I stopped playing baseball in junior high

1373
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: I sucked at it. I stopped playing basketball in eighth grade.

1374
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't any good at it, right, You eventually kind

1375
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: of gravitate to whether what you're good at or what

1376
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: you like. But I never understand all these guys, just like,

1377
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be the next Roger Clemens. Now

1378
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: he throws eight three, he's not, you know, he'll be

1379
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: like the third guy in his high school baseball team.

1380
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: He's never playing at the University of Texas or l

1381
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: s u let alone the Giants or the Dodgers. So

1382
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: let's just let's have him play basketball, and hell, give

1383
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: him a tennis racket in the golf club. You know,

1384
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 1: see what he can do. He he might turn out

1385
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: to be an artist. So let's like not trying to

1386
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: focus this guy. He's not gonna be the next eron Judge, Like,

1387
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, your kid is not Steph Curry, big fan

1388
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: of the pod and listen, I'm not I understand. Well,

1389
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: actually I don't if you are living vicariously through your kid,

1390
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: and especially if you're not like it. So one thing,

1391
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: if I was a pro athlete and I want my

1392
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: kid to be a pro athlete, one the genetics would

1393
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: be on my side. But the overwhelming majority of people

1394
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: that play youth in high school sports were not there,

1395
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: their parents were not pro athletes. Held the majority of that,

1396
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: we're not college athletes. Let's just have a good time,

1397
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, and then let the cream rise, and then

1398
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: they'll go and we'll figure it out from there. I

1399
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: got a question and a recommendation for you. I know

1400
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: you're a big Tito's guy, but if you're looking for

1401
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: a changeup, I recommend nineteen forty one vodka. One of

1402
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: the founders of Tito started it, and it's been my

1403
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 1: choice of vodka all summer. I saw you were in

1404
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Nashville this weekend, and since you're a well traveled guy,

1405
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: i'd be interesting to hear how you would rank New Orleans,

1406
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: Nashville in Vegas. Well, I've only been to New Orleans

1407
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: one time, and it was it was right after Katrina

1408
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: and I went with some buddies. You know, we tried

1409
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: to be good guys, so we went for a couple

1410
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: of days with Habitat for Humanity. I'm not religious. It

1411
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: was a little weird. I'd say we were a little

1412
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: out of place with the group, though we we blended

1413
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: in well. But then we also stayed for three days

1414
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: and we hit the town. But we had no money.

1415
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we were poor college kids. We helped out Katrina,

1416
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: even though we realized like we weren't quite sure what

1417
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: we were doing, just throwing trash kind of all over

1418
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: the place. It was an incredible experience just to see

1419
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: with your own eyes everything that was going on New Orleans.

1420
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: It's really hard for me to understand how sweet it

1421
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 1: could have been I had. I did not have any money,

1422
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: and I thought it was incredible, So I would say

1423
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty sweet. Vegas is so different because it's

1424
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: just casinos, Like you're going there for the casinos now

1425
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: they in two thousand twenty two. The restaurants, there's so

1426
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,719
Speaker 1: much ship to do, but it's just casino after casino

1427
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,799
Speaker 1: after casino. Like that's to me. New Orleans and Nashville

1428
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: have more similarities right Bourbon Street in Broadway than I

1429
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: would say Las Vegas Boulevard does. I would say Vegas

1430
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 1: the Strip is just it's one of the most unique

1431
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: streets in the world. I I would rank them, I

1432
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I I think they're all pretty special.

1433
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't even think they need to be ranked. If

1434
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: you told me I had a place in all of them,

1435
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,719
Speaker 1: I would be happy. I would probably New Orleans would

1436
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: be third. But like I said, I've been there one

1437
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 1: time fifteen years ago. I think Nashville is like I'm

1438
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: meant to be there. Like that's honest with my take. Now,

1439
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,919
Speaker 1: I have a buddy, I think he listened to podcast

1440
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: to whou whose family successful in business, they own a

1441
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: place on I'd say, the sweetest golf course potentially in

1442
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: the South. So got to go there, um, and it

1443
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: was awesome. Morgan Wallen was teeing off as we were

1444
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: having a cocktail. Uh, Darius Rucker, Jake Owen, I guess

1445
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: the curies came. A couple days later, Steph and his

1446
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: dad and Seth we're playing, Like I it inspires me

1447
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: to podcast more so I can buy a place there. Now,

1448
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: the price points for these places are really high, so

1449
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: I gotta do a lot more podcasting. But I I again,

1450
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a pretty patriotic country music. My dad was

1451
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: a farmer, my brother is a farmer. So like when

1452
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: you go to these bars and country music is everywhere

1453
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,879
Speaker 1: and people are chatting USA, like I like that ship, uh,

1454
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: and you're just Vegas, You're not gonna. Vegas is much

1455
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: more clubby. I'm not a club guy, but I love

1456
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 1: to gamble, so I love the sports book and you

1457
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:37,759
Speaker 1: can get nice restaurants there, So I I would probably

1458
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: put in Nashville number one if you told me tomorrow

1459
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: you have an unlimited amount of money and you have

1460
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: to invest in one place and be placed, like I

1461
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: might go to Nashville. Now, both Nashville and Vegas in

1462
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: the state of Nevada and Tennessee have no state income tax,

1463
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: so they're huge tax shelters that way. But I think

1464
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 1: Nashville is a pretty special place, and I love Vegas.

1465
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: But like I'm a Scottsdale right now. To me, like

1466
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: now the gamble is legal, Like I think they're gonna

1467
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: be casinos everywhere in scotts Tale. Now it's never gonna

1468
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: be the Strip, but I might take a Scott Steale's

1469
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: wayst sweeter in Vegas. Honestly, it's not even close for me.

1470
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 1: And I've spent a lot of time Scottsdale, spent a

1471
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of time in Vegas, so I I mean, to me,

1472
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Scottsdale and Nashville are just kind of my vibe there.

1473
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they just fit me. You know.

1474
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like you know, like when you're in love,

1475
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 1: you just you never know. You meet someone like I'm

1476
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: in love, you can't describe it. You just go certain

1477
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: places you're like, this is my vibe, and it's just

1478
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Nashville is just my vibe, just like scots Stale is

1479
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: kind of just my vibe. Now. Doesn't mean everything, you know,

1480
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: it's like all your vibe. It's hot and humid there,

1481
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: ship's hot here, but the dry heat to me is

1482
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: better than the humidity. Uh. And I I tweeted out

1483
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: someone's like what were the best bars? And I was like, well,

1484
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: kid Rocks Bar was by far the best. It just

1485
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 1: the vibe that the axe, it's just so badass, And

1486
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: I tweeted it out and someone was like, oh, you tourist.

1487
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean I don't go there every other week,

1488
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go to the most fun place. So

1489
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: like when you should have gone to this the off

1490
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: the beaten path, Well we did try that on Saturday.

1491
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: I got news for you. It's kind of boring. I

1492
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: went to Nashville to have fun, to go hang out

1493
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: on Broadway and it was badass. Just like I go

1494
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: to Vegas not to go off the strip. I'm going

1495
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: to go stay at the Cosmo. You know, I went

1496
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: to Nashville. Now, if I moved to Nashville, I would live,

1497
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, in the suburbs. But and I probably wouldn't

1498
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: go to those places as much. But I don't. So

1499
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: when I did go, this guy was like, you know,

1500
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: sell out, sell out, I mean whenever someone uses the

1501
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:35,679
Speaker 1: word like a bunch of sell up happens in music

1502
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: all the time. So you just didn't want Metallica to

1503
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 1: ever be cool. You just wish like only you and

1504
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: like three people knew them in forever. I'll tell you

1505
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: who's really glad that you know? It happens all the

1506
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: time with musicians when they get really big. Well, that's

1507
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: where they make their money and that's where their popularity

1508
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: comes from. But yeah, I mean, so Nashville Suite. Why

1509
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: would an NFL front office have leaked the Grooden emails

1510
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: as part of an investigation of the Washington Camaraders. He

1511
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: did a L O L emotion. What did the league

1512
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: have to gain by taking him out? You know, Brady,

1513
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: this is a great question, and I think people in

1514
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: the league. I don't know if there was like an

1515
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: interaction between these two, if he just openly talked shit.

1516
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell and John Gruden hate each other. That's just

1517
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: what I've heard from secondhand people. And maybe it's just

1518
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: as simple as my theory always is, the NFL leaked them,

1519
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: and Roger had some hand in it. Roger Goodell's brothers gay,

1520
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: and obviously there was some homophobic stuff. Maybe it was

1521
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: an easy one, as like an f You know, I

1522
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: don't think that's the root of their hate. But my

1523
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: theory has always been from talking to people, Goodell hates

1524
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: him and wanted to destroy him. Could be completely wrong.

1525
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Maybe Roger would say, I don't know where you got that,

1526
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: but that is not true. But other than that, like

1527
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: where could it just be Dan Snyder hates uh, you know,

1528
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: because he just recently fired Jay Gruden, so maybe he

1529
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: ates the Gruten's, But why would he leak out. I

1530
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just it's just classic Gruden, the Washington team.

1531
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: It's just always something, you know, It's never just kind

1532
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: of normal. I saw Gruden was saying, you know, basically

1533
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 1: like I screwed up, but I still want to coach

1534
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Like Gruden. The reason you're never gonna coach again is

1535
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: not because of those emails. It's because we just saw

1536
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: what you are like when you're in charge. You had

1537
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:34,879
Speaker 1: multiple first rounders who are literally in jail. Henry Ruggs

1538
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 1: and Gary on Conley are currently in jail. They were

1539
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: back to back first round picks jail. Now, the Henry

1540
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Ruggs thing, you know, I don't He was a high

1541
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: character guy, so I don't totally put that on like

1542
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: that was I don't want to say a random occurrence,

1543
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 1: but a lot of people would have drafted Henry Ruggs. Uh.

1544
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: It's a just completely sad story. But the result is

1545
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,799
Speaker 1: still the result. You drafted him over guys like Seede

1546
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: land him and he's currently in the clink and he

1547
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, if you told me he gets life like,

1548
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: it sucks. But I'm not gonna feel bad for him.

1549
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 1: Gary on Conley was a complete loser. The entire league

1550
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: couldn't stand and you drafted him and he's in jail.

1551
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Leatherwood was so bad he was untradeable. Like John One,

1552
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,560
Speaker 1: you didn't win that many games. You never made the playoffs.

1553
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: And I don't believe for a second you were for

1554
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: sure going to make the playoffs. If you hadn't gotten

1555
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: trouble this year, maybe you would have. Maybe you didn't

1556
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: like the team ended up making the playoffs, but that

1557
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: was after your ass got fired. I think Gruden was

1558
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 1: just a disaster. One of the most overhyped things in

1559
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: the in the sporting world. Any any you know, golf, basketball, football, baseball,

1560
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: racing we've ever seen, because the hype on Gruden grew

1561
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: by the year. It was like Gruden UK, University of Tennessee,

1562
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: a USC, all the Cowboys, all the Indianapolis Colts. He

1563
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: became all hype, no substance because we saw him. It

1564
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: was just just was not grazy, not not for a

1565
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: hunter million hours. I don't know if you'll see this,

1566
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: but thank you for doing the podcast. I love getting

1567
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: your insights, perspectives and inside our views that you bring

1568
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: me the NFL experience. You're hilarious. I appreciate the laughs

1569
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: and also hearing your opinions when I'm having a stressful

1570
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: day listening to you. This is I didn't try to

1571
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: read that to make myself feel better, but I'm glad

1572
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: you enjoyed the podcast. Okay, another question if you need

1573
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: some comment, who throws at college pro days the starting

1574
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: quarterback even if not eligible for the draft, as in,

1575
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,879
Speaker 1: did c J. Stroud throw for a lobby and Wilson

1576
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 1: or do they get some coach or back up and

1577
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 1: follow up? If Stroud throws, do scouts go watch him?

1578
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State may be the greatest example. Uh maybe going

1579
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: to Clemson to the scout DJ before a better example. Yeah,

1580
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: I think it depends. I mean, did Bryce Young throw

1581
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: for his guys last year? I think Mac threw for

1582
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: his guys one year when TWA got hurt. Those guys

1583
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: easily can I mean if they want to. Now, if

1584
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: you said, like, well, wouldn't the scouts just go to

1585
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: watch c J? Well, if a guy like c J

1586
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: or Bryce or any of these underclassmen Caleb Williams this year,

1587
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: so many scouts are You're seeing them play multiple times,

1588
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: you were spending thinking if you scout Ohio State, you know,

1589
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: if if that's my region and I go through there,

1590
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 1: I would say I'm spending seven eight days there throughout

1591
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:23,560
Speaker 1: the fall, multiple days at practice, seeing them, multiple games.

1592
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 1: I'm with them NonStop. So that day not that you're

1593
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: not watching c J or whoever's throwing, but it's not.

1594
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: It's really more about the guys that are gonna be

1595
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: drafted next month or two than that guy because you

1596
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: you evaluate him so thoroughly. I think I think it's

1597
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: probably fifty fifty maybe a little less. Maybe of the

1598
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: time a guy like c J throws just hell, they

1599
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 1: like them, that's their friends. Why wouldn't you not throw.

1600
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 1: It's like you're you're trying to help him out. It's cool.

1601
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: All the NFL guys are there. I would recommend if

1602
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,719
Speaker 1: you're healthy, ship go if you got especially highly drafted guys,

1603
01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 1: go throw. Uh sometimes yeah, backup quarterback sometimes like uh,

1604
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: you'll bring in like a junior college guy or you know,

1605
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: find I remember when I was at Fresno State, we

1606
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: had a guy that, like, you know, was from Fresno

1607
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: but played in New Mexico, who was gonna be like

1608
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent. You get some stuff like that.

1609
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's not perfect by any means. It's not

1610
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: ideal sometimes for the wide receivers, but it's it's usually

1611
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: something like that. How many starts would you give young

1612
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: highly drafted quarterbacks these days to prove the organization, organization

1613
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,680
Speaker 1: and fans that they are the guy? And in your

1614
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: opinion as a former scout, when do you know? I

1615
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: think when you're evaluating any player or any situation, they're

1616
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: all none of them parallel the other. Sometimes ideally you

1617
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: know right away, you know, I think Andy Reid told you,

1618
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,680
Speaker 1: has told me, but I mean I said this publicly.

1619
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: They when Patrick Mahomes got to play that last game

1620
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Week seven team or whatever Alex smiss last year there,

1621
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 1: he's like, I implemented the game plan with him while

1622
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: my coaches got ready for the playoff game, and it

1623
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: was just an unreal experience watching him take all the

1624
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: information in then watching them executed against the Broncos. And

1625
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 1: then within the first month, I mean, they were already

1626
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 1: high on him when he played like he did, it

1627
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that is over. Justin Herbert took like

1628
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 1: four games, Like holy shit. You know, Josh Allen was

1629
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,679
Speaker 1: a little bit of a work in progress. I would

1630
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 1: say Lamar Jackson. You know that that first year that

1631
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: he kind of came in for Flacco, You're like, God,

1632
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:31,560
Speaker 1: this guy might be better. And we think by the

1633
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 1: next year, like this guy's stud I would say Joe Burrow,

1634
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Like he played two games in the NFL. You're like,

1635
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: holy sh it, that's gonna work. But some guys take

1636
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. You know. Alex Smith is a

1637
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: good example. It took him like five years to figure

1638
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 1: it out. Now people don't have five years now, you know,

1639
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: it's a Trey Lance, justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, like I

1640
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: would say two years. I would say Trey Lance, like,

1641
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: we gotta know in two years you had a red

1642
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: shirt year. You're getting out this year and you're inheriting

1643
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: all these sweet players like Trey Lance. You should be

1644
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 1: able to throw for thirty touchdownds this year. If you

1645
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: if you can't, we got some issues. If at any

1646
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: point in time, you get bench for Jimmy Garoppolo this year,

1647
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: it would be a problem. I would say justin Field

1648
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 1: is gonna be harder to evaluate because his team sucks.

1649
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: You know, Trevor Lawrence. I think the next couple of years,

1650
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 1: if you're the one of the most heralded prospects of

1651
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: all time, like you should look pretty good. You know

1652
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Immediately it is kind of is what he

1653
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: is uh to uh Like it feels like two has

1654
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: got a long time. Like if two I can't get

1655
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 1: it this year, like it's over. I'm already in the camp.

1656
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: It's over. But I'm not, you know, I'm not stubborn enough.

1657
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 1: If he is good to not acknowledge that he's he's

1658
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: a good player. I just don't expect it to happen. Okay,

1659
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: last question, no question, Just a thought mostly regarding the

1660
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: turf at MetLife. I wonder if the owners, whoever is

1661
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: in charge of the turf doesn't want to change it,

1662
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: as they can be taken as an admission of fault,

1663
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 1: opens the floodgates and lots of potential for rather large

1664
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: damage claims on some pretty valuable assets. Although they were

1665
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: going after the NFL as a whole, the concussion suits

1666
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: set many precedents to base claims off of agreed pretty clinical.

1667
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: But after two years at a product liability law firm,

1668
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: occasionally this behavior of large corporations, you just keep rolling

1669
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 1: with it so you don't face We got smart listeners,

1670
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: we got some we've got some litigators, we got we

1671
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: got people all over and we've got people getting into

1672
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 1: UC Berkeley. Um impressive group out there, you guys. I

1673
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:31,839
Speaker 1: saw Nick Boasta today told Albert Brewer when when Albert

1674
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: came through forty Niner practice, how Maddie was after he

1675
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: tore his a c L. And he's still piste off.

1676
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: He thinks he's complete bullshit that he used the example

1677
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: that every soccer team in the e p L. I

1678
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 1: don't know if this is true, but maybe the forty

1679
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: Niners have told him this because now they own an

1680
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: EPL team. Well, they owned a team that wasn't the

1681
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: e p L and then they kind of got qualified.

1682
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive leads. Forty Niners made a shipload of money

1683
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: off it. They bought in for pretty cheap. Remember, someone

1684
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: telling me with the Niners is like, you know, I

1685
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 1: think a little bit like the Raiders, like at their

1686
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: lowest this moment, if you could ever figure it out,

1687
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: they're sleeping giant right and then boom, Vegas start making

1688
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,839
Speaker 1: some money. Uh that's what leads has been. But Bosas

1689
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: said that every team in the EPL plays on grass,

1690
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: and he was like the MetLife turf. Remember if you

1691
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,600
Speaker 1: don't remember this, but Nick Bosa Terris a c L

1692
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 1: two plays later saw him and Thomas Terris d c L.

1693
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: I guess they went the next day and they rolled

1694
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: it over with like a concrete roller. Uh, you're right.

1695
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean I think you might have hit the nail

1696
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: on the head because if they put grass in. But

1697
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: I also think you could just simply say we just

1698
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: wanted to make a change. You know, It's it's not

1699
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: black and white enough where it's not like players are

1700
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: suing the Giants. But I think it's insane at this

1701
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 1: point in time to have a turf that is that

1702
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: bad that everyone acknowledges is terrible and still play on it. So, uh,

1703
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 1: you might be onto something. Yeah, well that'll do it.

1704
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 1: I'll see guys Friday, week one, right around the corner

1705
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: when I talk to you on Friday, we'll have a

1706
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: little we'll have an NFL game. Thank god it's here.

1707
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Let's rock and roll Football's act I think I need

1708
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: to go sleep for about ten hours, uh, kind of

1709
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: rejuvenate and get ready for some football audios. The volume
