Speaker 1: she didn't even know the Around the NFL podcast was

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: taping to about fourteen minutes ago. She thought it was

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the broadcast, which is a vanity project for Erica. Um

34
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:27,960

36
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,680

38
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: our friend and uh we thought would be a nice thing,

39
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: and this is really Ricky's brainchild to to go on location.

40
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: This is the first time we've been together doing a

41
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: show since like when many moons. I mean I would

42
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: say you have to go back to the combine for

43
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: pandemic potentially. I mean a show of this magnitude, right.

44
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I think there might have been a Thursday night football

45
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: recap we did from socially distance in a garage maybe

46
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: late last year. But this is the first time we're

47
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: all together doing the show. And and uh, I know Mark,

48
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: you and I are on opposite ends of this. I'm

49
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: so ready to get back together in a workplace and

50
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: do a podcast together, um, because it's just more human

51
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the connection. Uh. And I know there's the case for

52
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: the other way, but this is hold on, hold on.

53
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: It's like sitting We're looking up at the Hollywood Hills.

54
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: It's about seventy five degrees um. We're surrounded by a

55
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: flock of like eight nines and tens just sort of

56
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: roaming about. I am totally happy here. This is not

57
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. This is a cubicle somewhere. No,

58
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: but I am. I am on an investigation about the other.

59
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: We we know who the one Erica the other Greg.

60
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: What do you have to say, Well, just maybe that's

61
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of all of us, you know, everyone's

62
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: a little bit ah there there is I think Mark

63
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: seems totally eddies. Dan is the one, and it's partly

64
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: because he's the host that he's used to having things

65
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: set up a certain way that seems a little more uncomfortable. Yeah,

66
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's but maybe it's the surroundings. And I

67
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: would say it has nothing to do with uh, where

68
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: we are and why we're doing this episode, but just

69
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts. And I'm also under

70
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: a sun that is determined to burn me alive, but

71
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: baking in the sun right now, all the rest of

72
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: us are like nicely shaded. It's great. We're couched in

73
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: wonderful shade. Dan claims, because he's part Austrian, that he's

74
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: fine under the sun. But I'm starting to see a

75
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: little perspiration. And our song is playing, Dan right now,

76
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Well that's we don't have the copyright control over that,

77
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: So don't pay attention to that. Don't find the music playing,

78
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: or the trucks, the dump trucks, the restaurant. So Chris

79
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Westling is with us, as he always always is. And

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: in fact, Connie, you saw something else right down the

81
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: street here on Santa Monica Boulevard. Oh yeah, when we

82
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: were walking up, there were all these big green Eggs

83
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: for sale right out front at like the hardware store

84
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: right next door, and they were just like out in

85
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: front of us, and my dad was like, oh, I

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: love green Eggs. It's like, oh, it's a sign. So

87
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: Lakisha's here, big green Eggs are here, the reds are here.

88
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: West is here with us as he always is, and

89
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Mark pop quiz No, actually, you know what, because I

90
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: didn't like the insinuation by Greg. Greg why is Pride

91
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: Month in June? I don't know. You're uncomfortable of the Okay, gotcha,

92
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna guess that's not something you guessed for.

93
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was going to be part of like

94
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: Erica's time. Basically, Dana set it up now and now

95
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: we're going to hand the show over to Erica for

96
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: the next thirty forty minutes and she's gonna explain what

97
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: pride means to her exactly now what Ricky now and

98
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I want to say. In preparation for today's show, I

99
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: went and reread that awesome article you wrote on NFL

100
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: dot com last year about your experiences as a gay

101
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: woman in sports media and at the NFL, and it

102
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: was just so well done, and uh, really, I I

103
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: couldn't have um more respect Ricky for what for what

104
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: you do and how you expressed yourself in that article.

105
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: And so this is a nice thing for us all

106
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: to be together, uh, celebrating this all, Well, it means

107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot that you say that, thank you, And you know,

108
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: you guys were the first people that I told even

109
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: publicly back you know what, three four years ago now,

110
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: and really there's been Pride, There's been five celebrations where

111
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: you guys have been on these streets with me, and

112
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: it means the world. And as I wrote in that article,

113
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have felt comfortable coming forward if it wasn't

114
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: for you guys behind me. I lived in West Hollywood,

115
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: remember being at the Pride parade around two thousand two?

116
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: How about that? What are you trying to say? She's

117
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: speaking to the audience and to us, But I was

118
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the one who was ahead of the curve. Eric, I

119
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: think we were on this very street together for Pride

120
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. All right, so this is great,

121
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: We're all so excited to be here together. But this

122
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: is a football show. So it's time to talk some football.

123
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: And before we get to fluid situations in the Summer

124
00:07:35,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: of Love. Let's hit the news. Oh yeah, Gaga, like

125
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: Gaga one of the best halftime shows. Did you guys

126
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: like it? Incredible? I love that. I'm sure it was

127
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: easily the best. She dropped from the ceiling like you're

128
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: in the bey Hives. Settled with the Gaga a little bit.

129
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: When I feel to be. I liked how earnest um

130
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: and like hard on the sleeve. Gaga was like it

131
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: was very cheesy when she jumped off the roof, but

132
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: it was also like she was just embracing it. She's like,

133
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm playing the super Bowl, I'm leaning in and that's

134
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: why I an authentic artist, that lady, Gaga. What's your

135
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: real name? I was gonna say a real name to

136
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: like really punctuate, not Gaga. Alright, alright, here we go,

137
00:08:51,480 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: focus focus. Oh we got football news coming in. By

138
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: the way, nothing beats two ambulances stuck behind a garbage truck.

139
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: That's not how This football show isn't gay enough. We

140
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: need garbage trunks and ambulances racing to motocross of as

141
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: from major injuries went down between street dudes. All right, well,

142
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: this show ever be posted? Is the question? All right? Here?

143
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: We go Aaron Rodgers, he's officially a holdout over at

144
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Packers camp. And you know here at the Around the

145
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: NFL podcast, we're not stressing out about it. Um, even

146
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: though if you're a Packers fan, I get it if

147
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: you are, there's no way he's going to be at

148
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: this mini camp. Will see what's going on later on

149
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: this summer if he doesn't show up for training camp anyway,

150
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: So the other wide receivers and all the other players,

151
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: they're at camp. Davante Adams, who Aaron Rodgers has helped

152
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: turn into a superstar through his support behind the reigning

153
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: NFL m v P while being careful not to criticize

154
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: the organization that he is feuding with. Let's listen to

155
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Davante like he knows where I'll stand. I'll stand on

156
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'll stand on the mountain and uh and

157
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: uh scream on the mountaintop. You know that that I

158
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: got his back. And like going back to the forgot

159
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: who asked the question about if it was awkward, Um,

160
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: it could never be awkward because I think that any GM,

161
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: any president, any owner, they should one type of guys

162
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: that are you know, back in their players, especially a

163
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: player like that, Connie, this is not this is how

164
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: you have to play it, right. If you're a Packers

165
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: player right now, right, you can't. You gotta support the

166
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: q beause you know the QBS is paying attention to everything.

167
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: But you don't want to distance yourself or disenfranchise yourself

168
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: in the organizations that's cutting your check. It's a tough

169
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: situation I feel like for everyone to be in because

170
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: you have like when when Aaron Rodgers said back and

171
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know was that January, that his future

172
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: is a beautiful mystery. He was not playing at all,

173
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: and like all of this has really escalated from one

174
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: thing to another, like talking trash about the culture of

175
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: the franchise and the front office and everything. But I

176
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: think that this game of chicken is bad for everybody

177
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: involved because you have like, how how is the team

178
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: taking it if it's divided the fan base, like I'm

179
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: sure that. I guess on one hand, maybe it's adding

180
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: fuel to the fire for them to be like, oh,

181
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: if they're hearing all of the time like the Packers

182
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: can't compete for the division or a playoff spot without

183
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, They're all like, well, that's one dude, We're

184
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: an entire team, so what's up. But also it's like

185
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: you're putting this on the coaching staff. I'm sure they

186
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: have opinions, like the team itself, the fans, like everybody involved.

187
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: There's so much collateral damage. I feel like with what's

188
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: going on, and it would be it would behoove everyone

189
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: to meet in the middle and come to an agreement.

190
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: But I think we're kind of past that at this point.

191
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like at what point when each

192
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: side is going to seed, Like but they don't know,

193
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, divide the Adams doesn't know, Rodgers doesn't know.

194
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: They don't they don't know how this is gonna end.

195
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: It's like when when Connie was in her big contract dispute,

196
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: like all the teammates, all of us just supported her.

197
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna support your friend. You want to want them

198
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: to get what they deserve and divide the Adams has

199
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: to keep in mind he's not far away from a

200
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: contract negotiation to become one of the highest paid wide

201
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: receivers in the league, and whether that's gonna be with

202
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay or not, Like he might get that money

203
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: a year sooner if it is from Green Bay. So

204
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: it's very, very complicated. I mean I would say this

205
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: to call it a beautiful mystery. I don't know about beautiful.

206
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: Um slightly ponderous on some level. If you're a Packers fan,

207
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: your hair is on fire. This one um note from

208
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: Davante said about Aaron Rodgers, he loves when you have

209
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: his back. Now, he also said I have his back,

210
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: and of course he does, but he loves because Aaron

211
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Rodgers is a special kind of guy. And he also

212
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: went his way to say, look it, I believe that

213
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: the front office would want me to have the back

214
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: of another player on this team because to your point, yes,

215
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: the contract for Davante Adams is coming up. The thing is,

216
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: it's not February. This isn't back in January when Russell

217
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Wilson was upset and you had the entire offseason, the

218
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: entire width of the off season to figure this out.

219
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: We are weeks away from July, and we are very

220
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: close to preseason football and training camp. Though training camp

221
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: in the first time, I think it matters even a

222
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Does this feel like a camp showdown where

223
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers simply shows up to the first day of camp.

224
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: I was going to say to bring it back to

225
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: Connie and Conna. I hope I'm not talking out of

226
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: school here. Is this all about men? Actually, Erica, this

227
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: is no longer your show. It's Colleen's show. Um when

228
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: made her surge up the ladder here at NFL Media

229
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: and became a superstar, and we're also proud of her.

230
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: Said we're gonna take care of you in a different

231
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: way than we used to maybe our and Rodgers rip

232
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: up the contract, make things right, get him on the field.

233
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: I think that I think it's really interesting that, uh,

234
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love said that he talked to Aaron Rodgers like

235
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: about what like a week ago, a week before the

236
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: mandatory minicamp started, and Davante Adams said that he hasn't

237
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: talked to him, correct, So I think that it's interesting

238
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers has that line of communication open to

239
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love in a way that maybe Aaron Rodgers didn't

240
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: have with Brett Farve. Like that's that at least is nice,

241
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: I think. But I think that the organization is in

242
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: such a tough spot because what are your options at

243
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: this point? Like you you kind of you have to

244
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: try and build back that trust. If he's going to stay,

245
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, you maybe offer him a contract extension, maybe

246
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: you make some type of personnel moves to make him happy.

247
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't want to. They're not going to

248
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: release him after next season. I don't see that happen.

249
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: But it's it's given more money, guaranteed or not. I

250
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: don't Here's what I don't care about is this. There's

251
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: like this tweet from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which is

252
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: literally maybe the best newspaper in the country when it

253
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: comes to football coverage. But the tweet was, what does

254
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Jordan loves big second day of mini camp mean in

255
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: the big picture? It was like, how does this affect

256
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: the big picture? It doesn't. It doesn't affect it at all.

257
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: None of that affects it. Like, I don't think how

258
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: Jordan's love looks in mini camp or even training camp

259
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: up until maybe the preseason matters even one bit. Do

260
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: you see though, a scenario where like it's it's a

261
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: nice neat idea that hill Aaron Rodgers will roll back

262
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: into town like mid August and save the day. Could

263
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: this be more of like an Emmett Smith type hold

264
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: out where we don't see Aaron Rodgers untill Week three

265
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: or four, because this gets so nasty money wise, that

266
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: would be annoying because that's all anybody would want to

267
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: talk about when actual football is being played. I hope

268
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I'm reading a book right now called I

269
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: Want My MTV. It's an oral history of the launch

270
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: of MTV and then through its golden period one to

271
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: ninety two, and MTV had a central guiding principle of nobody.

272
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: None of the talent was bigger than MTV. MTV was

273
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: the star. The talent was disposable, like and ESPN similar

274
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: to that. I hope the Packers don't think the Packers

275
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: brand and the Packers are bigger than Ann Rodgers, because

276
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. The quarterback, especially at once

277
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: in a generation star like Aaron Rodgers, there's you could

278
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: play chicken with him to a certain extent, but I

279
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: feel like there is at the point where you take

280
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: it too far. There is a lesson maybe to be

281
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: learned here for like you know, the A t N podcast,

282
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: to stop making it seem like you're bigger than NFL

283
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: network and NFL media, Like it might be time to

284
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: back off that. I mean, cook it up all right

285
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: in other news. All right, Greg, this one's for you

286
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: because you have been you know, borderline. I don't know,

287
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: man libelous with Russell Wilson and this this idea that

288
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: he somehow um started his own self promotion Erica, it's

289
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: incredibly distracting when you do that. My dad's also taking pictures.

290
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. You have to block out

291
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: the noise too when when you're doing the stuff. Um,

292
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: but you said that Russell Wilson campaigned to be the

293
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: m v P. You cited, Uh, you cited a quote

294
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: at some point he talked about He didn't talk about it.

295
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: Everyone was talking about it. He was pumping himself up, like, hey,

296
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: I've always been top five quarterback, how about me as

297
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: number one? All right? So he said that once you

298
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: brought it up four hundred times. Jack Barrett Um, the

299
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: star edge rusher for the Bucks, uh, says, even though

300
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: he was arguably the best player on this defense during

301
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl championship run. Uh, even though he just

302
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: signed a four year, seventy two million dollar contract. He said,

303
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm coming with Avengers this year. Even though we won

304
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I'm still hungry, like I'm coming. I

305
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: want to be individually like defensive player. Yeah, if they

306
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: want to give me m VP, because my season that

307
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I have should be m v P level, Like I'm

308
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: coming man, Like, will you bury Shack Barrett repeatedly in

309
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: the same way you buried Rust Wills. Well if he

310
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: then turns has a terrible second half of the season

311
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: and then immediately afterwards leaks to all his media friends

312
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: that he wants to get traded so that everyone forgets

313
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: about the terrible second half of the season and somehow

314
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: playing all on his teammates. Shack Barrett, by the way,

315
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: kind of struggled last year. People. You know, Mark was

316
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: enjoying it for a little while until the very stretch run.

317
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: He was like Tom Brady and kind of the rest

318
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: of the Bucks. He kicked it up a notch down

319
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: in the last five weeks. He would have to be

320
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot better to be defensive player of the I mean,

321
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: the the endless string of narratives that don't actually like

322
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: bear themselves in truth, I'm not I'm not rooting it.

323
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: And Shack Barrett, he had an electrifying campaign a couple

324
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: of years ago that I thought might have been a

325
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: flash in the pan. He proved me wrong. I think

326
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: I've said on the show roughly five to six thousand

327
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: times that I was wrong on that count. He's a

328
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: very talented player m v P. That feels you're on

329
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: a team with the probably the guy who's going to

330
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: be the m v P if he plays up to

331
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: snuff and they go to the player Tom Brady, and

332
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, I I wisely I don't track his decline anymore.

333
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't have all this like complicated, like these nerve

334
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: connections anymore because he's not on the Patriots. So now

335
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: I just sit back and watch it. But isn't it

336
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: like a little bit weird that he's forty three, had

337
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: knee surgery and then it was a full participant in

338
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: the first mandatory uh MINICAM practice, Like, at what point

339
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: do we start questioning Mark? And you're very much into

340
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: the human, at what point do we start to ask

341
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: that question? I think just if you look back at

342
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: like the sixteen forties, like in deep Europe, people were

343
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: dying at like age, like there is just we evolve,

344
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: and I think that Tom Brady's found like a pathway

345
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: to certain health that others did not sports science wise,

346
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: because now you have like other quarterbacks, even though, like

347
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: I saw Kirk Cousins saying like, you know, oh, I'm

348
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: changing my diet and do this all this stuff, It's

349
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: like I wish I had done this like eight years ago.

350
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: It's like, excuse me. Like the advertising was there for

351
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: you and for plenty of athletes, but it's like it

352
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: comes down to your choices. Tom Brady is super weird. Um.

353
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: He people kind of isolate him as someone like I

354
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: would never like not eat nightshades just because Tom Brady doesn't.

355
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: But he's playing still and he's effective, and he's winning

356
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: super Bowls. Maybe following his path. If you're another quarterback,

357
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm about to buy in on the TV twelve method

358
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: because the other methods that I have been using are

359
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: not working. So I'm ready to go down that road.

360
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: Try it out and other news. Connie, You're you're fine,

361
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: You're fine, don't get too crazy, you have fun, you

362
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: have you handle it all. Um, if you go full

363
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: TV twelve, you're gonna start being like, well, I can't

364
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: actually go out. I'm not gonna come over to the pool.

365
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: Par you know this or that parks on the juice

366
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: cleans right now, right part of the TV twelve method

367
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: is you remove any sense of humor from your body,

368
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: like a thousand years attempt that diet because he must

369
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: eat like I must have like like lines of pork

370
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: going down to my intestines every day that I buy it.

371
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: Imagine enjoying eating. Uh, we're doing like lines off the

372
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: table of pork. I try to be a good friend

373
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: and I with Mark right now he's going through a

374
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: juice cleanse, which he does every once in a while.

375
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: So I try to give you a little space because

376
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: I know me texting you like do you want to

377
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: go to the bar or whatever is not toward that goal.

378
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: But I will say, if I have to choose, like,

379
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: what's the better version of Mark that I enjoy non

380
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: juice cleanse Mark, A juice cleanse Mark. It's pretty there's

381
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: no there's no doubt. But I actually, you know, we

382
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: are all going to be hanging out together, um, you know,

383
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: exclusively and high quantities very soon, and I'm preparing myself

384
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: for that to give you that version. We're gonna be well.

385
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Park didn't want to give it too much information, but

386
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: the way you explained it was insane. We're gonna be

387
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: hanging out exclusively in high quantity. It made it sound

388
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: like we're like we're toilet paper. Well, we're going on

389
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: a bit of a voyage together as a group, and

390
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to go in, you know, in game shape

391
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: versus where I was ten days ago, which was like

392
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: someone left by the side of the highway. You made

393
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: it sound like we're all going into it like a

394
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: blood packed and like blood hacks aren't that far away.

395
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: And it's it's a little tough because the one thing,

396
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: we're in the heart of West Hollywood here, and this

397
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: is a fun area. Ricky lives right around here. Everybody

398
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: likes to get loose here at the time. But now

399
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: I gotta bring it down. Talk about something a little depressing.

400
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: It's a little weird. I don't think anyone's done in

401
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: a bit on the porch of Rocos, and yet here

402
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: we are. Former New York Giants head coach Jim Fossil

403
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: passed away at the age of seventy one. His son,

404
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: John Fossil, the special teams coordinator of the Cowboys, confirmed

405
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: the death to The l A Times. He told the

406
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: newspaper his father was taken to a Vegas hospital Chess

407
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: bands He died while being treated um, I just want

408
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: to say, as a native New Yorker, Fossil has a

409
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: very important part of Giants history. And Mark, I think

410
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 1: you said recently that if you were in a Browns fan,

411
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: you'd be a Giants fan. You know, you had those

412
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: the amazing Giants teams of the nineteen eighties. Once Bill

413
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: Parcels took over and that included two Super Bowl wins,

414
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: and then in UH ninety one, after the second Super

415
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Bowl win, Parcels walked away, took a year off, went

416
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. Ray Hanley came in and was one

417
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: of the biggest punching bags in the history of New

418
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: York sports media. He was one and done. Uh. Dan

419
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Reeves took over after Hanley. He had he had his

420
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: some moments, but the team was still very much under

421
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: the radar. Fassil then comes in and they go on

422
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: this very memorable run in two thousand UH and his

423
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 1: kind of legacy in New York is this quote he

424
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: gave and Rex Ryan got a lot of mileage. Not coincidentally,

425
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: also another New York coach for a press conference in

426
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: which he made a playoff guarantee that led to a

427
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: deep postseason run. Here's what Fastil had to say, full responsibility.

428
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm raising the stake right now. This is a poker game.

429
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm shoving my chips to the middle of the table.

430
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm raising the anti anybody wants in game, anybody wants

431
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: out and get out. Okay, this team is going to

432
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the play This team is going to the playoffs. The

433
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: Giants one on a five game winning streak. They win

434
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: the NFC East. They ripped through the NFC get to

435
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They get wiped greg by the Ravens.

436
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: But um Fossil hung around for a few more years

437
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: after that, had a nice run with New York Giants.

438
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: Passes away at the age of seventy one. Very sad,

439
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: rest in peace. It's such a memorable press conference moment

440
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: because he got booed off the field right before that.

441
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: They had just lost two straight games and he was

442
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: like the enemy of the town. So to make that

443
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: speech in that moment and then to not lose the

444
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: game again until the Super Bowl is a moment you'll

445
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: always be remembered for. He's had an amazing career. I

446
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: mean he was John always coach in Denver, UH and

447
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: always said he would never have been the same player

448
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for John Fossil and was such such

449
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: a likable guy, Jim. And also, like the New York

450
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: media is so different. I would put Phillies media in

451
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: there too, But that part of the country. Um, the

452
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Giants lost those two games to the Rams and the

453
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: Lions and fell to seven and four. You're not falling

454
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: off the earth at that point. And he was being savage.

455
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: I think he was a bit of an easy target

456
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: because he wasn't a Bill Parcels type personality. Absolutely, and

457
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: and you know the Ray Hanley. Ray Hanley basically was

458
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: just you know, put out there to get destroyed. But Fassil,

459
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he won Coach of the Year in nineties

460
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: seven and they had a couple of down years too.

461
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: With that two thousand year, I thought, like you said,

462
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: was his high point. And something about that day, Um,

463
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we grew up with w f A

464
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: N I'll never forget that. I was running errands and

465
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: driving around listening to Mike and the Mad Dog right

466
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: after that kind of press conference blew up and it

467
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: was a peak moment on w f M because it

468
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: was so countercultural to how Fossil behaved. Um, that Mike

469
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: and the Mad Dog were doing the best I could

470
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: do with it. But I ran errands for another two

471
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: hours just driving around listening to this because it was

472
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: one of those moments in Giants history that was memorable

473
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: and he was really a wonderful coach for them. Um

474
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: and gets kind of forgotten, I think in the is

475
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: he never got another coaching job. His son, of course,

476
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: Bones Fossil, is with the Cowboys now as their special

477
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: teams coordinator, was in the Rams before that. He's not

478
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: with the minicamp. Uh, Cowboys miniicamp this week because of

479
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: his father's death. But uh, and he's a really good

480
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: coach and a guy on the rise too. So I

481
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: think it's interesting too that like he led the Giants

482
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: to playoffs in his first season as a head coach,

483
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: in three of his seven seasons as a head coach,

484
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: and if you go back six years prior to him

485
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: getting to New York, they had only made the playoffs

486
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: one time, so he like the Giants now, right exactly?

487
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: So he led the Giants to double digit wins three

488
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: different seasons, and the only coaches to do a better

489
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: job with the Giants were Tom Coughlin and Bill parcels.

490
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, he is one of the greats there. Um.

491
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: He also drafted a ticky barber who I hated, and

492
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: he was there for that horrendous fumbling problem and he

493
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: was credited with like helping him fixes anyway, Jim Fossils.

494
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: It is a little bit of a mortality reminder when

495
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: these late nineties two thousand's guys pass away, because we

496
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: were all very young, and they seemed to be so

497
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: full life, so uh, very sad, and our hearts go

498
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: out to the Fossil family. That's what's happening in the Oh. No,

499
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: we got a little odds and ends before we we do?

500
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: We do, don't we shall? We are? We gonna do it?

501
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: Are We're going to break out the song? Yeah, we're

502
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna do it? Okay, all right, here we go odds

503
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: and and sodds and and say everybody tell your friends

504
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: because it's odds and and now I just have to

505
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: like obligator, like get it right? So did it? I

506
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: mean without without the backing music track in a live

507
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: venue with other music pumping behind you, and you haven't

508
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: done it in eighteen months. Probably off you're more of

509
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: a pro than when you first started. I think the negative,

510
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: the negative negative. I'm just saying the gap between like

511
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: on screen Colleen and off screen, it's it's getting smaller

512
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: and smaller and just turning into a TV monster. And alright,

513
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: am I supposed to Colleen? You've never sang that out

514
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: louder to yourself in the eighteen months since you last

515
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: sang it on the show that that would concern me.

516
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: I've never come to mind. I don't. Maybe it will, though,

517
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: maybe I will start doing. This is an absurd episode

518
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: of our podcast, and I'm enjoying it. This is like

519
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: this episode five. We wouldn't get a six, but we've

520
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: done like hundred, so it's fine if you're still listening

521
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: right now. I just want to say thank you for

522
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: being a two fan. All right, what do we got? Okay?

523
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Not a ton? Really just wanted to sing the song,

524
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: uh first one here. Dak Prescott says that dancing during

525
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Sinko Tomo convinced him his ankle was ready for the season.

526
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: He buried the injury, he said, So some people bury football's.

527
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: Other people bury injuries. And it's Dak Prescott, um, that's

528
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: one thing I've betted. My analysis you got anything work.

529
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, I don't have a lot

530
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: to add. If I was like and how I think

531
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks would be at dancing, that would be low. I

532
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: really like relatively low. Yeah, he's got rhythm what you've

533
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: actually seen just super Bowl parties, and that gets loose

534
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: that I was at a certain party that I won't

535
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: that's fine. Moves pretty well. Okay, maybe with a little

536
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: lubrication it helps. But Greg's like Teddy Bridgewater is the

537
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: best dance. Yeah, what else he got other than that?

538
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Toua is holding a lul uh and it says like

539
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: luol with Tua, and I think they were trying to

540
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: do some type of like Ryan Tuscaloosa, he's going back

541
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: for his foundation, so he's going to raise some money. Um.

542
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: I was originally thinking about talking about tah and our

543
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: fluid situation in conversation because like, you know, some people

544
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: have two dads, some people have two moms, some people

545
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: have too offensive coordinators. So he's kind of ana, but

546
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that one professional. Some people

547
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: just met their dad. People just met their dad. Yeah,

548
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: So anyway, and Wolf in the House, wait, okay, I'm

549
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: gonna ask your dad about his alien sighting. Okay, want

550
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: to talk about it? You don't, don't forget to remind me,

551
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: all right? Anything else? No, that's it. There's one odd

552
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: one end. My dad was hanging out yesterday. So it's

553
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: not odds and ends. It's odd end to end. That's

554
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. All right, Now, let's get

555
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: to it. Lukisha, are you doing? By the way, I

556
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: wait until she bit the food. She's good, all right,

557
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: fluid situation in the summer of love. This is the

558
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: summer of love, and I really hope I'm gonna try now.

559
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: Obviously as a forty one year old father of two

560
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: married for nine years. It's a rap, like there's no

561
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: there's no true. It's a rap. It's like I don't

562
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: get to truly have like a a fun like free

597

598
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,719

00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: of women begin what would be the attack? Soon? Would

602
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,120

00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: was really that was hot. I was gonna wear jets.

625
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna wear Jets flight attendant uniform from Toxic,

626
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: but it's the wrong color, so I went from the

627
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: d At other times, do you prance around wearing that outfit? Yes?

628
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: They do actually important, you know partly my showcase, its

629
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: favorite episode. Anybody else had anything share before we move on. Yeah, alright,

630
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save it. But alright, where were we fluid

631
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: summers would be? What would I be? Um? I would

632
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: be you know what, I'd be? Red cat suit it again. Well,

633
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: my my best friend Donnie, who plays professional um is

634
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: like six three big lesbian. She got the skin tight

635
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: leather suit and then sent a picture last night that

636
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't zip up. She says she's still gonna wear it.

637
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: That's a tough sitch, all right. Anyway, Well, good luck

638
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: with that. Don't drink too much, be careful there. Well,

639
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to tell you that is very That

640
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: is girls. You agree with me, this is an explosive situation.

641
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: Potentially we're gonna have Jet with us, that dad something. Yeah,

642
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: Jet's gonna be with Colleen and you guys. Yeah, I'll

643
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: be good. I'm not worried about it. I'm not like

644
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: saying like, don't like make a mistake. I'm saying like,

645
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: don't get into a fight, don't get baited into like no,

646
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: not that I know you won't do that, and she

647
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 1: won't do that. Probably what kind of fight is Ricky

648
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: gonna get it? You gotta admit my heteronormative mind I'm thinking, like,

649
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: imagine having a bachelor party with all of you guys dresses,

650
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: and then one of the guys that your bachelor party,

651
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: it happens. Yeah, I don't. I don't think you're not

652
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: living in necessarily happens and and bad does go down.

653
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: So I think everyone thought about this. I'm sure. Yeah,

654
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: I think whatever you do, Jet is allowed to do

655
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: at Colleen's house with said figures in the environment. Her

656
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: and John have been really clicking lately. All right, so

657
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: I'll be at the cape with you. Do you have

658
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: an extra at They're coming out, all right, fluid situations

659
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: in the Summer of love. Mark get is gone, alright,

660
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: Well we're going around once, I believe, right, I don't know. Okay,

661
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: Well then I'm gonna start with a football one. But

662
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: I have another concern, but I can bring it up later. Um.

663
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: I want to look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield

664
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: because I think one of the most um important signings

665
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: of the off season but underrated, like one of the

666
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: most underrated kind of the flew under the radar is

667
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: Giobinard too the Tampa A Buccaneers. Last year, the Buccaneers

668
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: with battleship for net and the rest of the crew

669
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: had one of the worst UM receiving crews. I know, listen,

670
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: you're making me pivot like super boring territories. You're gonna

671
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: pivot off the Battlelob party. You can't go like third string.

672
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear my other things? This is literestly,

673
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: this is honestly super annoying to me. Now, Carlos Dunlap,

674
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: who I I traveled to Italy and Germany with lots

675
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: of respect. Okay, so I love him a lot um.

676
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: He is a hard working guy, but he's one of

677
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: this um cast of defenders that on Instagram he changed

678
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: his number and it does the thing where he's running

679
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: around in Seahawks like green and blue. He's forty six,

680
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: and then suddenly it turns to him this big birdly

681
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: pass rusher turning to eight. And I know, everyone's like,

682
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: it's cool. It's like, let them change their numbers. But

683
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: you also have like Patrick Queen going from Ravens linebacker

684
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: Big thick Man going from forty eight to six. Okay,

685
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: matt Matthew jude On, did you add big thick Man

686
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: because we're it's for the Pride Show. No, he's a

687
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: large wide man like and this is my problem. Matthew

688
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: Jude on to nine, Um Jillen Smith four to nine,

689
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: Buda Baker thirty two to three. I know it's it

690
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: seems cute here before with the games start, but it

691
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: is going to be I think two people that have

692
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: watched the game for a very long time. The situation

693
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: is fluid because maybe it will be fine, but I

694
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: do think to some people it's gonna be very disturbing

695
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: to watch, like a pass rusher number three coming in

696
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: and attacking like quarterback number three. It's like college college football.

697
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: That annoys me, but they before that's a terrible pass

698
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: rest number two. That's why it's two guys like me

699
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: and you and Greg. Although Greg, I know you watched

700
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: tape like during draft times. It's like when you don't, Connie,

701
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: do you watch college football because normally I'm very busy.

702
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: But my point being, you're not a big college football fan.

703
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: A wide receiver that's number two, like Julio Jones is,

704
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: now it's blows your mind. I don't. I don't follow

705
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: sports at that level that closely. So when you see

706
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: this like super duper star wide receiver, so it is

707
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: it is fluid, yes, very but the wide receivers I've

708
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: become accustomed to. But when it's like a gigantic, like

709
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: super giant pass rushing guy attacking a quarterback with a

710
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: lower number than the quarterback, like, I like, what's your

711
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: bigger point? Like, well, I don't know if there's a

712
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: point to the fact that, like visually, it's like it's

713
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: like everywhere, no one's saying it matters. But I think

714
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a bunch of people on Twitter when

715
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: games start complaining about it. I do. I think it's

716
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a talk. You are complaining right now. I'm

717
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: complaining now. I'm getting ahead of the game on the complaints.

718
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: That's good, alright, it's under the radar. I like that

719
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: Greg about a fluid situation in the summer of love.

720
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if these guys are

721
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: um in love with their situations right now. But Chandler

722
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: Jones and Danielle Hunter are both in fluid situations that

723
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: have slipped under the right tell. Hunter has has won

724
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: a new contract since before the pandemic that kind of

725
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: like slipped out of mind because then he had a

726
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: neck injury. But he's still not showing up. They don't

727
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: know if he's ever gonna show up. I don't know

728
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: how he's gonna get more money out of them when

729
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: he just missed the entire year with the neck injury.

730
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: But Chandler Jones is even more fluid. He surprised everyone,

731
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: no one, he is even knowing what the report is

732
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna be. I don't know why we keep saying fluid.

733
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: Then Eric elapsed at me. This is, yeah, the challenge Jones.

734
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: It's such a fluid situation. I don't know it's it's

735
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: basically just football topics. We want to talk about that

736
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: um that we don't know what's gonna happen. I think

737
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: I wonder, I honestly wonder how much the the J. J.

738
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: Watt hullabalu like led to I think that's it. And

739
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: I asked around and that suspicion was confirmed. When a

740
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: player good Chandler Jones, and to be clear, he's you know,

741
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: on it's probably been a little better than J. J.

742
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: Watt over the last few years, is on a team,

743
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: and then you sign a new player who is a

744
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: couple of years older and he's making more money than you.

745
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: That gets on your radar. Big time, and Chandler Jones

746
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: hasn't shown up. And if you remember how he left

747
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: New England, it was it was a very strange, sudden

748
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: sort of at Chandler Jones is gone. He had some

749
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: weird an event like a bath salt. He showed up

750
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: to a police station um asking for help and was

751
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: under the influence of drugs. So that was strange. But

752
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: there's there's been some that, there's been some whispers he's

753
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: been a great player there. I do have doubts whether

754
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the Cardinals. Would not shock

755
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: me if he gets traded in August, very good. Can

756
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: we do every podcast at a bar like wondering, because

757
00:43:51,880 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: I'll be there, all right, Um, we'll be here noting. Okay,

758
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: Damien Williams, his future is a very fluent situation. Obviously

759
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: he alright, So think about this thought. He won the

760
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Kansas City, scored two touchdowns in that game.

761
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: Then he opted out last year because of COVID. He's

762
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old and now all of a sudden

763
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: he's a Chicago Bear. So think about what he had

764
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: to go through last year. He had to sit at

765
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: home and watch the games and watch his replacement basically

766
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: take his job, a young new guy on the scene

767
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: who was doing really great on his team. So I

768
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: don't fault the Chiefs for moving on from him with

769
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire. But I can't even imagine the mental

770
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: games that Damian Williams played with himself while watching the

771
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: actual games. He told the Suntimes watching at home really

772
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: made him realize that he didn't want to watch anything

773
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: any other games at home anymore, and he just like

774
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: wants to play basically until the wheels fall off. So

775
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: he signed this one year deal with Chicago, which is

776
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: like a really messy situation in and of itself that

777
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: the Bears team in general, that offense, for sure. The

778
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: only thing that kind of swings me the other way

779
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: is Matt Naggy obviously knows him there we go from

780
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: his days at his offensive coordinator in Kansas City, so

781
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: it's a familiar system for him with familiar plays, and

782
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: obviously he's familiar with the coach. So I'm gonna be

783
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: watching this in preseason. I'm gonna see I want to.

784
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see how they use him with

785
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: dave On Montgomery there the lead rusher from last year

786
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: Tyree Cohen. We hardly saw him at all last year

787
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: because of the a c L in Week three. So

788
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: I feel like this is something to watch for sure,

789
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 1: because there's some fluid stuff happening. I mean, he almost

790
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl m v P and then he sits

791
00:45:53,400 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: out stop talking about my bachelor at party. You gotta

792
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: be careful at that party. We're gonna startcle back to

793
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: that one, all right. UM, I want to say at

794
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: Davante Booker, he's very not just kidding now, I want

795
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: to talk about this One's not It's not exciting, but

796
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: it is notable some injury stuff like it's fluid, it's

797
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name some guys that are have a huge

798
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: role and a huge responsibility toward making their team successful

799
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: and um, they need their rehab to go in the

800
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: right direction right now. I'll start with Calvin Ridley. You

801
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: know what I hate. I hate foot surgeries, hate them,

802
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: especially for a skill player. I'm not a skill player

803
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: and I've never had foot surgery. I'm as far as

804
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: you can get from this conversation. I'm analyzing the situation

805
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 1: from a distance. From a distance, UM, what's this? Umos

806
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: is definitely hitting right now. So Calvin Ridley had what

807
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: what it was explained aimed as a minor foot procedure

808
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: and he'll be fine for training camp. I hope so.

809
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: But you just traded away Julio Jones, And I know

810
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: everyone thinks Kyle Pitts is gonna hit the ground running

811
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: and be the greatest tight end of all time, and

812
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: maybe who will be? But we might be going gregg

813
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: from a situation where you were all hopped up, for instance,

814
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: about having this big three together with Matt Ryan, the

815
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: former MVP quarterback. Now Julio is gone, and you got

816
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: Pitts learning the playbook in the pro game, and now

817
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: you have the start and the new number one coming

818
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: off foot surgery. Don't like it, speaking of put your surgery,

819
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't like Quentnin Williams, my team's number one defensive

820
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: player coming up first surgery that went under the radar

821
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: a little bit about a month ago. It's like, oh, yeah,

822
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: he just had foot surgery. He'll be back in the

823
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: off season. I don't like that stuff because foot injuries,

824
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: if you follow the sport, you know they might come back,

825
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: but they can reaggravate them easily. More injury stuff Sae

826
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. Usually you this time of year, you hear,

827
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, not only do I feel like I felt

828
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: before the injury, I'm better. It's one of the great

829
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: tropes of the offseason. No sad. It's like we're taking

830
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: one day at a time where our goal is to

831
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: get him back and he'll be ready to go week one.

832
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not ringing any alarm bells. I'm just

833
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: saying it's the way it's being put out by the

834
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: team is nine. He sounded pretty cautious this week, like

835
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: they there's a lot of work to do still on

836
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: that a c L rehab for an injury to happen

837
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: early last year, keep an eye on that. Kyle Long

838
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: tons of ink digital ink spilled uh after the Super

839
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: Bowl when he came out of a time and signed

840
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. They're like, the way we and I'm

841
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: saying we is that football got not sent. The way

842
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: we operated on this is like, oh yeah, Kyle Long's

843
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: back and he's the star of two thousand fourteen. He's

844
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: their new guard there, right guard. He's like, no, no, no,

845
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: we don't know what it is. So now that's a

846
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: camp battle and he might be getting surgery, might be

847
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: out of the picture entirely. Um, I'll leave it there.

848
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: There's more players to go through, but keep an eye.

849
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: It's a very fluid situation with these injuries. Anybody else

850
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: have a fluid injury thing that maybe I missed Marie

851
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: Cooper this week, Ian Rapward, this is what I'm getting

852
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: at with the whole like minor injury. He got hurt

853
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: two weeks ago and he might not be ready for

854
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: training camp, and all the comments are like, oh, it's

855
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: no big problem, no big deal. That's two and a

856
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: half months in between when you just got hurt and

857
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: being ready for training If that, if that happened during

858
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: the season, you just missed the little season. That's not minor.

859
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: The coaches lie about offseason injuries more than they lie

860
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: about anything else. I would say Cam Newton hand injury,

861
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: and I'm not again, I'm not reading. I'm just saying

862
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: he hurt his hand. They said it's not serious, but

863
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: he is also, um not practicing right now. All right,

864
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: let's go quick one more time around Mark. Alright, you

865
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: had the Frank Gore one earlier. No, no, no, that

866
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: to not count because with that, I'm not Geo Bernard

867
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: is gonna do great. This is this got on my

868
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: this is more just got on my radar. Uh. New

869
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: Texans coach David Culley will not hold mandatory minicamp next week,

870
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: saying we've accomplished what we want to accomplish. Hold on

871
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: so fluid. First of all, give me a break here, Like,

872
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: the Texans are facing one of the biggest pr crisis

873
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: of any team in sports. Like no, no, no, but

874
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: of any team that like has number one. You have

875
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: fifty plus new players. We're good, We're good. We're like,

876
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: we're a team totally that is fluid and flux as

877
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL. How about you get back

878
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: together and do some professional work together. I don't like

879
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: the idea that even either even go to the press

880
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: with this saying, hey, you know what, we've wrapped it up.

881
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: We're fine. So when you're one and eight we can

882
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: look back and say, hey, you did everything you possibly could.

883
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: I just think you're you're a new coach. I like

884
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: him a lot. Seems like a nice guy. Everyone likes him,

885
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 1: But like, you have got to have a different approach

886
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: than you know, Let's just take an extra week off

887
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: because we're the Houston Texans were sky high. Things are fine,

888
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: there are no issues inside the building. We'll see you

889
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: in August. He is he is the new version of

890
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: Who's Handsome, Hank's Boy, that was the coach of No No, No,

891
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: Tom Sula. He's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. He's

892
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: waited his whole life. He's a sixty four year old man,

893
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: I believe, finally gets a big chair and he's dealt

894
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: this hand. Alright, listen, but people don't get to leave

895
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: the Titanic. You have to stick it out, you have

896
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: to say no. But it's like, I think he took

897
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: the job, he took the gig knowing it was a

898
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Titanic challenge in front of him. I just kind of

899
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: feel bad for the dude too. But I would say,

900
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: if you're Texans fans, you're wondering, like you're sending me

901
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: like a bunch of emails about dropping like dollars on

902
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: season tickets or twice that, Like, how about like I

903
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: at least have an organization, it says, or tell and

904
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: basis way down here, we're gonna work harder than anyone else.

905
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: We've got a ton of new people, We've got two

906
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: new systems. We're gonna grind as hard as anything. We're good.

907
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: We're out. See you in July. Have a nice time.

908
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the Bahamas. It's designed. These mini

909
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: camps don't amount to too much. They are not the

910
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: only team that's skipping minicamp, by the way, many teams

911
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: are there because because you boy, he did the same thing. Yeah,

912
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: but but Shanahan, no one's sitting around wondering if the

913
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: forty Niners have organizational direction. I wouldn't bring that up

914
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: about them. Like, if you're essentially working from behind with

915
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: the with the talent of like a high level college team,

916
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: you've got to do more. I'm just gonna throw out

917
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: this item of news this week that it was just

918
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: a reminder that Deshaun Watson someday could play football again.

919
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: We don't know if that's gonna be this year. But

920
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson, his old teammate in Houston, pointing out that

921
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: Watson wants to play in Denver, just got me thinking

922
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: about two that the Broncos, who have a Super Bowl roster,

923
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: like they might have their option or be going for

924
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: either one of these guys in two or maybe like

925
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: later this year, depending on what the NFL wants to

926
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: do about Watson. I've been very hard and I think

927
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: you nailed it. Greg. I've been very hard on John Elway.

928
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: Is anyone listening to this podcast knows, But the light

929
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: bulb did go off for me this morning when I

930
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: saw that. I was like, I wonder if, like, yes,

931
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: of course teddy Bridge order is not the future. Of

932
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: course Drew Lucks stinks, but there maybe this is a

933
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: chess a chess situation, and they're they're playing a different

934
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: game and they're just biding their time to make that play.

935
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: It's probably next year, not Week seven, but the NFL

936
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: is gonna decide on that before any teams done. Mind's quick.

937
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: It's the Zach Earth situation in Philly. Like Ill, it's

938
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: still very fluid. Uh. And for me, I just don't understand,

939
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, Mark or whoever did, about the

940
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a ton of teams in the

941
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: league that canceled their mandatory mini mini camps, and the

942
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: Eagles are one of them. And I don't understand why

943
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: they did that. Because you have Nick Sirianni, you have

944
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff, you have he'll be fine. Right,

945
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: it feels like it's and I'm not happy about it,

946
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do because you have

947
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: the whole uncertainty with like Jalen Hurts, and then obviously

948
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen with U with

949
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: Earth's here, and there's the whispers about Buffalo maybe like

950
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: moving around some cap space and maybe bringing someone in

951
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: instead of that they have Dawson Knox. I don't know,

952
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: but the future of zach Ertz is in question, and

953
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: it feels like maybe we would have gotten a little

954
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: bit of clarity if they had a mandatory mini camp

955
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: and if Earth's would have showed up for that, But

956
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: now we have no idea until training camp. Check out

957
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: all of our Instagram stories because we're doing BTS guys

958
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: right now. And I love I love that you bring

959
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: up zach Ertz because you're a Philly earl. That's super Bowl,

960
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty two. We'll live with you for the

961
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: rest of your life. I remember coming upon you up

962
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: on the field at the thirty yard line. You were crying.

963
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: What a moment, and where we were seated in our

964
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: auxiliary press box, zach Ertz coming right towards us with that.

965
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 1: Go ahead, touch on Gregg watching it just dying inside

966
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: literally the Patriots, just the whole empire crumbling in front

967
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: of Greg. I'll never forget the year before my favorite

968
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl victory. Yeah, all right, anyway, so zach Ertz,

969
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: he's a very important figure at the Eagle sence. I

970
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: get it. And and this idea that he's is he

971
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: going or and it's just like I guess I don't

972
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: know if if, why is he still there's I do

973
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: need to go pick up my daughter. We had some

974
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: technical issues. You want to ask my dad about UFOs, right, Okay,

975
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: all right, let me just let's go. Is this SAG

976
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: will say goodbye and then uh we'll bring in ed

977
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: Wolf after um, we will, we will, but Greg has

978
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: to jump out. Dawson Knox, by the way, you mentioned

979
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: tight ends and mentioned the bills, my all time favorite

980
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: new tropler and I hope it lasts for a million years.

981
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is working with a quote vision specialist to

982
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: improve his hand eye coordination. I hope this. I mean,

983
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: this is insane to me. Like hand eye coordination, that's it,

984
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: Like that's how you got here in the first place.

985
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: If you don't have enough handback coordination now and you're

986
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL, You're no specialist is gonna help you.

987
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 1: And I just hope every year we learned about more

988
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: people visiting vision and specialists. And by the way, if

989
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: this guy that Dawson Knox goes to, if he has

990
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: an all Pro season for the Bills this year, this

991
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be a billionaire. I hope be the

992
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: new David Andrews. That there was a surgeon. There's like

993
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: a there's like thousands of NFL players. If I just

994
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: had better hand eye coordination, well maybe there's a specialist

995
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: out there, a vision specialist that can do it. Look

996
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: at Jameis Winsday. I don't know what's fluid about that.

997
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about it. All right, Greg,

998
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: you need to go pick up your I'm gonna miss

Speaker 1: was that what it was? I couldn't really hear him.

Speaker 1: you are excellent, very good. All right, Now, now did

1029
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: dig in because you're sitting next to Mark Sessler, who's

1030
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: a certified alien freak. This guy, he says, it's not

1031
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: just that. Mark, correct me if I'm wrong. Well, no,

1032
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: we'll get into this. But the first time that I

1033
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: met ed Wolf, this was probably eight nine, eight years ago,

1034
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: when you guys were at the Whaler and I was

1035
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: with West actually, and we happened to be there in

1036
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: separate parties, and we saw you, and it's the first

1037
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: time we ever hung out um in person, and you

1038
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the night shared a story and

1039
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: we were you know that we had a few drinks

1040
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: in us UM. You shared a story about something that

1041
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: happened to you in the Air Force DAN and affected

1042
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: me quite a bit. I thought about it. So you

1043
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: were watching the skies take us through it. I was

1044
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: actually at uh I. See I worked in an IBM

1045
00:59:54,280 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: site and intercontinental Ballistic Missile site and uh I was

1046
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: in South Dakota and in the horizon I saw a

1047
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: light whatever you want to call it a light and

1048
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: it did not move in normal progression as a star

1049
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: and airplane everything it was very fast. We're up, down, over, left, right,

1050
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: all kinds of different trajectories, is the best I can say.

1051
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: It was not normal and so moving in a way

1052
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: that terrestrial aircraft doesn't move technologically correct correct correct, And

1053
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't on the radar and no, no, I about

1054
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: in a way that a weather balloon does not move. No, no, no, no,

1055
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: totally totally abnormal. I'm gonna put it that way. And

1056
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: you were with someone else, right, what you were with

1057
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: someone else? A bunch of people, Yeah, yeah, they all

1058
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: saw too. And we had an air policeman who was

1059
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: with me and he said, I didn't see anything because

1060
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to be getting on the moor. Now. I'm

1061
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: sure you followed this very closely and that there was

1062
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: a sixty minutes expose on this, and there's been a

1063
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: lot of stuff in the media that the government or

1064
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: they've un unlocked these documents and they're saying, listen, we

1065
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: have these moments like you're explaining these look like UFOs

1066
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: or do you know what they call it? Now there's

1067
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: a different term. But we don't know what these are.

1068
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: We can't explain what these are. We also can't say

1069
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: we're not saying it's aliens, but we can't rule it

1070
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: out either. Ed put it on the record, military man,

1071
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: do you think what you saw was an alien? Absolutely?

1072
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely question give up beat. He knows it was an

1073
01:01:53,880 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: alien and wasn't Russian UFO on identified flying object, but

1074
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: it was it was mag normal. It was totally abnormal

1075
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: in the laws of physics that we know it could

1076
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: have been. Can I ask you a follow up? UM?

1077
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: So there is it must be good for you to

1078
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: see that it's becoming i mean almost underwhelmingly so normalized.

1079
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Now everyone's like, oh yeah, now, but there's there's UFOs.

1080
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: We all get it, like, there's not a freak out

1081
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: aspect to it yet. UM. But there is another train

1082
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: of thought that suggests that a large number of these

1083
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: are not coming from somewhere far away down to our Earth,

1084
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: but coming from deep underground bases under like Antarctica, and

1085
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: they're coming up through the sea. There's a lot of

1086
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: UM observation where they're coming up through the water. Do

1087
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: you think that there's something potentially to that where, Um,

1088
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: there are parts of our Earth or Inner Earth that

1089
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: we obviously don't know anything about. The sea is five

1090
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:57,959
Speaker 1: percent discovered, Um, is there something other than just coming

1091
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: from another planet, or do you think or something to

1092
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: any of that. It could be totally could be from

1093
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: the ocean. I have no idea, but you know these things,

1094
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: uh hover over the horizon and then then get below

1095
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: the sea base and you don't see him anymore. So

1096
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: definitely could be our friends. I totally wow, unbelievable. Baker

1097
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: Mayfield saw UFO. Everyone's like, oh, it's Baker Mayfield. Now

1098
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: it's like, excuse me. That was a little suspect about

1099
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: It's not a suspect. All right, before we say goodbye, Um,

1100
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, how you feel about it? And then again,

1101
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, how you feel about it? The head coach

1102
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: of the Eagles, Um, how do you feel about him? Excellent?

1103
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm ready. You have total faith in the

1104
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: new leadership? Yes, all right? What about the Carson went

1105
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: to trade? Were you upset when he was traded? Not

1106
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: at all? Was not upset at that at all? No

1107
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: loyalty Carson went in Philadelphia? There takes alright, alright, and

1108
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: we're about to finish a show with a segment what

1109
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: we call things that were gay for So if you

1110
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: want to pop off that's totally understandable. I don't care

1111
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: stick around. All right, all right, we'll start with Mark Sessa,

1112
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: what are you gay for? Right now? Well, I will

1113
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: just say, because I haven't had a chance during this

1114
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: episode that like, I do think it's super cool that

1115
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: we're here because of Erica. We would never be otherwise.

1116
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: And I mean we've known Erica for five years now

1117
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: or so, and it was not easy for you, I

1118
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: think when you came to the NFL to share that

1119
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: with anyone, and I I kind of like becoming your

1120
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: friend and like tracking your Instagram. I was like, I

1121
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: kind of think that there, this may be the case.

1122
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Is there? I go, But I don't have like hardcore proof.

1123
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: But you you you shared it with a close circle

1124
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: of friends early on. But even our workplace was not

1125
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: the easiest place for that, and I'm sure it is

1126
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: now it's gotten better. But it's cool just to see

1127
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: um that you're you own it, you are who you are,

1128
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: and like, uh, having I'll say again, having that one

1129
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: day trounced around these streets with you. Erica is not

1130
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: only like she's not like the top fifty most popular

1131
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: person up here at night, She's say, like the top.

1132
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,439
Speaker 1: She's like a Tom Brady a popularity among other less women.

1133
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you're doing great, very well, said

1134
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: Mr Sessler. How about kon. You guys make me gay.

1135
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: I love hanging out with you guys, and it makes

1136
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: me so happy whenever I can come on the pod

1137
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: and especially see you guys in person. I mean, it's

1138
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: for me, it's more just hanging out with you guys

1139
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: and seeing you and sharing sharing food and sharing time

1140
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and sharing labs, and it's less about the football for me,

1141
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: and you guys just make me so happy whenever we

1142
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: can make time for each other. So this is really nice.

1143
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I feel the same way Colleen, and Uh,

1144
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna share similar thought to Mark. I just

1145
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: think it's so great. Like I grew up, we talked

1146
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,959
Speaker 1: about the Stonewall riots um that occurred in nineteen sixty

1147
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: nine that kind of like kicked off of this revolution

1148
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: and it's helped take us to where uh things are

1149
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: now and hopefully continue to go forward uh in a

1150
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: positive direction. But like when I was growing up, like

1151
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, I was an eighties kid, early nineties kid.

1152
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: It's amazing, especially being in the suburbs that there was

1153
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: just no connection to things like gay culture and things

1154
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: of that nature. So I just think it's there's there's

1155
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: literally a helicopter landing right next to us behind us. Oh,

1156
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: it's the West, the Vietnam. Good morning anyway, Ricky, let

1157
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: me get you. We all love you. It's just so nice.

1158
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: And do you want to put a cap on it?

1159
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: What are you gay? Yeah? I mean the fact that

1160
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: we're even let's wait for the helicopter and Ricky's also

1161
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: wearing a NASA shirt right now, so like everything really

1162
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: connects there we go, so I um, the fact that

1163
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: we're even doing this episode makes me want to feel

1164
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: teary right now. It's like I am so supported by

1165
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: you guys, and we are such an incredible family when

1166
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: my family is so far away, and there isn't anything

1167
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't do for you guys. And it's clear

1168
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: that you guys feel the same way because we're all

1169
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: here and I love you guys very much. Oh, Ricky.

1170
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: When Ricky gets emotional makes me I love her so much.

1171
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring this thing in for a landing.

1172
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Oh I like that idea. Wait, can you clear us

1173
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: for landing with? How you a clear okay, all right,

1174
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,520
