Let's start with JP on the mailbag. Hey, John, 54 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: started listen to your podcast thanks to Coward and so 55 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: far you're my go to for NFL news and opinions. 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: I like this guy. Do you think the Patriots with 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: Hopkins will be in the discussion for winning the AFC 58 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: East or going for playoff considering their top ten defense 59 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: and Billy oh Is now their offensive coordinator, Well, it 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't hurt you add Juju Smith and Hopkins. I 61 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: think they signed Gaseki right, we know they can run 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: the ball. I think they would one percent be in 63 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: the mix for a wild card. Hard for me to 64 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: pick them to win the division. I think I'm gonna 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: end up going with the Jets. I think most people 66 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: are gonna pick the Bills. I talked to Colin. He's 67 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: taking the Dolphins. So talent wise the division, let's say 68 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: they do add Hopkins, which I'm still a little leery of. 69 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's Belichick. Belichick gonna give him ten million dollars, 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: let alone fifteen that he wants with Odell Beckham. Now 71 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: does he ultimately end up getting that, Probably not. But 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: the point is he's not gonna get nothing. I don't 73 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: think it's a crazy spot to go. It's just gonna 74 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: be hard because four teams in the division are not 75 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna make it. The AFC is really really good. But yeah, 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: if they maximize their offense, if their defense and special 77 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: teams maintains that level of play. I mean, their specially 78 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: teams had some low moments last year, but you know 79 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: what I mean, they could get to nine and eight, 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: ten and seven, And is that good enough to get 81 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: to the seventh seed in the AFC? Maybe I don't 82 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: think they could win the division. I don't even think 83 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: their best case scenario, even if they signed Hopkins and 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: their defense was like top five, I just don't think 85 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: their offense would be good enough. And I just don't 86 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: know if they're dynamic enough. Even with their defense. It's 87 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: a solid defense, But is it like the forty nine 88 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: ers last year? I mean, are they gonna have a 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: fifteen sack guy? Are they gonna have a guy with 90 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't necessarily see them being dynamic 91 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: enough to be to win that division. Probably thirteen wins 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: to me. If they maximize everything and they win ten 93 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: and they go ten and seven kind of like they 94 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: did a couple of years ago, and like the seventh seed, 95 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: that'd be very, very successful. I think I haven't even 96 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: thought about it. I probably as I mean, as we 97 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: sit today, I'm probably not gonna pick them and make 98 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs, which is crazy. And I'm not some Belichick hater, 99 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: even though I told calling listen he's a little negative 100 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: for my taste. When things are going poorly. It's one 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: thing if you're gonna rip my ass, make me take 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: pay cuts. And we're winning AFC East titles, we're in 103 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: the conference, championship game. We're in the Super Bowl. I'm 104 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: playing with Tom Brady. Listen, I'll take it, and most 105 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: guys did, but Mac Jones, Matt Patricia, that ain't gonna fly. 106 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: I discovered your podcast in the summer of twenty twenty 107 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: after graduating from high school. Like the Young Demo, I 108 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: lost my job because of COVID, and your pod got 109 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: me through my commute to my other sucky job. So 110 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: thank you for that. Are there any investing tips for 111 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: a young kid about to graduate. I have money saved, 112 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: but hate seeing it sit in a savings account and 113 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: watching it depreciate. Also, I'm celebrating my twenty first this Sunday. 114 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: Any suggestions on my first legal drink? Thanks for the 115 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: pod and go Ravens. Well, you know, by the time 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: I was twenty one, I did so many illegal drinks. 117 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: You just go with whatever your taste. Your taste palette 118 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: as a as a young whipper snapper, I think evolves 119 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: a lot in your twenties, and by the time you 120 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: get my age, you kind of have some go to drinks. 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm a Tito SODA's guy. If you if you 122 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: don't have vodka, I have no problem going to quila, soda. 123 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: I can basically drink any beer, but I when I 124 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: was young, I just kind of drank whatever was in 125 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: front of me, probably mainly beer and Jack and cokes. 126 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: Jack and Coke was a go to. Was red Bull. 127 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: Red Bull came really into for you know, it's a 128 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: hit it stride maybe when I was older in college. 129 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: I don't really remember it. Maybe it was out when 130 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: I was just got into college. But Red Bull vodka 131 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: is another one if you want to stay up, you know, 132 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: I like going to bed at like ten o'clock. So 133 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: no Red Bulvodkas for me, but that's that's always a 134 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: strong go to, especially your twenty first birthday. I would 135 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: just invest in the market. I wouldn't necessarily overthink it 136 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: unless you're a big believe in said company, right, and 137 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: maybe some young up and coming companies, but even that, 138 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: I would just invest in the overall market, right, the 139 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: S and P five hundred, That's what I would do 140 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: if I were you just start investing in the market 141 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: kind of from a more macro sense, and then maybe 142 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: you get older, you got a little more firepower. You 143 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: can kind of pickstocks. Maybe there's a future Facebook or 144 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: a future Apple in the next five six years that 145 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: you believe in because you use the product, you know, 146 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: put whatever ten percent of your you know, your your 147 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: available firepower into that. But I would keep it pretty 148 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: just generic to start off with. Kind of dip your 149 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: toes in because hell, you you lose a little money. 150 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Let's just pick a Let's just say you have five 151 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. All of a sudden it goes down by 152 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: ten percent. You know, it's hard to stomach. When I 153 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: first got into investing, you start losing money, you kind 154 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: of freak out, even though it only knocks you if youself. 155 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: A couple of things for the mailbag. I created this 156 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: profile solely for the mailback. I like you, Nick, appreciate you. 157 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: So does A Meta and Zuckerberg number two. A couple 158 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: of weeks back, you mentioned that the ESPN lineup of 159 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: Mike and Mike, SPP and Rossillo and the Herd was 160 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the best radio ever. You are the only person other 161 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: than myself that I've ever heard talk about this lineup, 162 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: and I thought it was the best ever. Do you 163 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: think people in the business bring it up. I don't 164 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: really talk to that many people in the quote unquote business, 165 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: so I don't know, I just know as a consumer, 166 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: as someone that likes listening to audio, uh, it was 167 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't the biggest Mike and Mike guy. Uh And 168 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: for a lot of Mike and Mike, I lived on 169 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: the West Coast, so they were over you know. For 170 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: when Colin was, you know, working for ESPN if you 171 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: were in Pacific Center time, I'm pretty sure he started 172 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: at seven in the morning, so you kind of I 173 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: got into to Colin as I woke up, and then 174 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: those other guys at the time were coming on at 175 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: one o'clock eastern ten o'clock, So I thought that back 176 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: to back the HERD, SVP and Risillo was just incredible radio. 177 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't get that much better. It didn't 178 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: get any better for me as a as a listener. 179 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: During the time, ESPN was a staple in my house, 180 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: but since then it has become unwatchable. ESPN on air 181 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: personalities remind me of the nineties WWE wrestling attitude era. 182 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: It's filled with people that just trying to talk louder 183 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: than their opponent with ridiculous hot takes. A lot of 184 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: my friends feel the same way. Have you also come 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: across this in your consumption of sports entertainment, bring back 186 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: the peace during your show outros Uh. I don't know, 187 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: be honest with you, I think sometimes in this medium, 188 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: when we're talking about sports, like from the podcast through 189 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: you guys, i'd say ESPN's content comes up more. I 190 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: don't talk to that many people about like talking shit 191 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: about ESPN because he just we don't even talk about him. 192 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: We don't watch him. I don't none of my friends 193 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: are watching First Take. It's just not content made for 194 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: me or the people I'm hanging out with. I was 195 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: at the gym today flipping channels trying to find the 196 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: US Open, but it was on Peacock, so I couldn't 197 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: even watch it on the gym's television. So I'm flipping 198 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: around and I go just I see the guide and 199 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: I flip on First Take and they're just screaming at 200 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: each other about some NBA hypothetical. It's like, who wants 201 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: this content right now? I just don't think Bradley Beal's 202 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: moving the needle for my interest in June fifteenth, so 203 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: guy even any good? I know he makes a lot 204 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: of money, but is even a winning player at this point? 205 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: I'd lean know, and I'm not exactly Phil Jackson here, 206 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: but it's just a lot of screaming at each other 207 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: with basketball takes, which to me bores me. And I 208 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the football stuff you couldn't 209 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: pay me to consume their stuff. So yeah, I just 210 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: maybe their content is just not that good anymore, I do. 211 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: I met Stephen a years ago and he was really cool. 212 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: I liked him. I like steven A, I like his 213 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: whole deal. But I think a lot of people the 214 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: problem is that it feels like they try to copy him. Right, 215 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: he's making twelve fifteen million dollars years their highest pay guy. 216 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: They just copy him, It's like, and maybe it works 217 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: for some people. I would just I've always just tried 218 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: to find my own voice, just be yourself, but that 219 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: doesn't really work on television. You will not get promoted. 220 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for Scott van Pelt. 221 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: He just kind of in his own lane. He's not 222 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: trying to be anyone else but himself. He's very comfortable 223 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: in his own skin. I think that's why him and 224 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: Risilla were so good to each with each other. They're 225 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: not trying to be others, They're just themselves. I think 226 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: a lot of people that go on with Steven A 227 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: try to become Steven A and it just doesn't work. 228 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: Big fan of the Pod. One thing that is frustrating 229 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: is when people, especially experts, talk about football contracts like 230 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: their baseball contracts. As you know, it's not all guaranteed, 231 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: so the AAV is misleading. Now, I'm a Giants fan, 232 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: but I am not the biggest Daniel Jones fan. However, 233 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: I do think they both met in the middle for 234 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: that contract. It's essentially a two year deal. They got 235 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: a low cap number twenty one this season, but they 236 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: have to pay forty five million dollars in twenty four, 237 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: which I do think is too high of a cap 238 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: number for the team to be successful with his talent. Agree, 239 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: I haven't even looked at his contract details. If his 240 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: cap hit is forty five million dollars, meaning let's say 241 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: the cap is two hundred, I'll just pick a number 242 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. There is not a snowballs chance 243 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: in hell that Daniel Jones number is going to be 244 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: forty five. They will either extend him mess with that contract. 245 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: They'll do something, but he is I'm with you, forty 246 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: five is way too high. That's too high. If you 247 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: got Mahomes, it's hard to build a team that way. 248 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: But if worst comes to worst, they can move off 249 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: of him after that. Sure, they have a decent amount 250 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: of dead cap in the third year of the deal, 251 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: but it's manageable. Rams had to pay some of Goff's 252 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: deal while well paying Stafford. Jets are paying Zach Wilson 253 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: ten million dollars to be a backup, so are the Niners. 254 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Believe me, I would love to have a better quarterback, 255 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: but the narrative of the Giants are stuck with Jones for 256 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: four years and give him a hundred sixty million dollars. 257 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: It's just not true. I think a lot of people 258 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: and this gets back to the you know, the screaming 259 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: at each other on television. I do think the easiest 260 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: content is just to hoot and holler why a deal's bad, 261 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: and then just screen the guys overpaid or vice versa. 262 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: A lot of players do the guys underpaid? Ah, he's 263 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: getting screwed were Most of the time, it's somewhere in 264 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: the middle. Like my take earlier this week on Saquon 265 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: Barkley has Saquon Barkley in a position to act like 266 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: he's been getting screwed. No is a human being and 267 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: wants a contract extension, for sure. But if any person 268 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: on television goes it's his time to get paid, well, 269 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: he's already been paid. It's his time to make generational money. 270 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: He's already made generational money. If it's his time to 271 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: get a contract extension, okay, but what's the proper number? 272 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: Is he eleven million dollar player a year? Probably not. 273 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: They're willing to pay him ten, but do they want 274 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: to commit to three years after this season? One thing 275 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: that's easier with a quarterback is if Daniel Jones just 276 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: plays like he did last year, you can just function 277 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: with it. If you pay a running back, let's say 278 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: they gave Saquon Barkley four years, forty million dollars and 279 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: guaranteed thirty Well, if he got hurt again or it's 280 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: not the same player, you are screwed. You saw it 281 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: with Todd Gurley, you saw it with Zeke even to 282 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: a lesser extent, you saw with Dalvin Cook. Dalvin Cook 283 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: really productive player, not quite what he was a couple 284 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: years ago, but you can he can score ten touchdowns 285 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: for you and catch the ball. But he's just you'd 286 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: like to pay him seven million dollars, not fourteen. So 287 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: the Vikings just cut him, and it makes it, you know, 288 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: pretty complicated in when it comes to these players with quarterbacks. 289 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't because if Daniel Jones is just a top 290 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: fifteen starting quarterback and I'm paying them basically eighty million 291 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: dollars over a couple year period, is it a little 292 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: more than I like to pay? For sure? But can 293 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: my team easily make the playoffs? I think that's the 294 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: way they look at it now. I think we could 295 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: argue with how they went about it, Like if Daniel 296 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: Jones had hit the market, if they had flipped it, 297 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: or excuse me, if they had franchised Daniel Jones and 298 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: let saque hit the market. Is someone paying Saquon Barkley 299 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: like a three or four year contract. I have a 300 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: hard time seeing that now. If Daniel Jones hit the 301 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: open market, is anyone giving him eighty million dollars over 302 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: two years potentially just because it's he's a quarterback and 303 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: teams are desperate. Hell the Raiders, who knows, maybe the 304 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: Raiders have been like fuck it. Found your podcast on 305 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: Collins Feed before last football season and have loved it 306 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: ever since. He gets too positive here. I know you've 307 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: talked about being on the field with the Giants during 308 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: batting practice during your radio days in the Bay Area, 309 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: and you're reminiscing of Madison Bumgarner coming out of the 310 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: pen in Game seven twenty fourteen. Really with me, as 311 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite sports memories. I'd love to 312 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: hear your takes on baseball. Would you ever have the 313 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: interest or bandwidth to do a baseball podcast? If only 314 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: once a month during the season. Thanks love the show. 315 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't just because I'm not watching it. I just 316 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: I heard Colin say something recently and it really resonated 317 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: with me. He's like, at this point in time in 318 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: my life, I only have so much bandwidth to watch sports, 319 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: and he's, you know, a football guy, college pro, watches 320 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: a lot of NBA and then he dabbles in like 321 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: UFC fights. Like for me, I don't watch nearly as 322 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: much baseball. I don't. I haven't really watched baseball at all. 323 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: I consume mine through like social media. Now. The dude 324 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: that the Reds just called up looks like Ken Griffy 325 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: juniors mixed with Tyreek Hill. I mean that Dela Cruz 326 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: guy can fly now can't eat the curveball and stuff. 327 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I like baseball, I enjoy playoff baseball, 328 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: but I by no means, I'll be honest to me, 329 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: it is a very regional sport. Because if this was football, 330 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: and the Diamondbacks are one of the best baseball teams 331 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: in the in Major League Baseball this year, Like I listen, 332 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't like the Giant I would die her Giants fan, 333 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 1: but I'm down on them because I hate Gabe Kapler. 334 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Though I like some of the players on the team 335 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: and I'm never gonna not even if they're good, I'll 336 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: root for him. But until Gabe Kapler's gone, I miss 337 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: Bruce Bochi and as you can see, Bochi's killing it 338 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: with the Rangers. Is that it's like I turn on 339 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: Diamond Diamondbacks game and I get bored in five minutes. 340 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Where if it was the equivalent of like if the 341 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: Suns were with Kevin Durant one of the best teams 342 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: in the NBA, or the Cardinals, I could easily watch them. 343 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: Something about baseball, It's like I can just watch my team, 344 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: or the Yankees or the Dodgers but I can't watch 345 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: random baseball teams like I just couldn't watch the Rangers 346 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: Astros on my couch now if I was there having 347 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: some beers for sure, but I just don't like the 348 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: sport enough. So that's I wouldn't make a good podcast 349 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: because I'm not watching it. Hey, John, not messaging you 350 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: from my wife's account this time. I'm here to use 351 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: some boredom in this slow time. What is your opinion 352 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: on the PAC twelve imploding? And see you looking like 353 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: they're going to the Big twelve? And do you think 354 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: Arizona University will follow? The PAC twelve just seems to 355 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: have poorly managed for too long and it might finally 356 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: bite them in the ass. Some schools may have to 357 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: swallow their pride and rub elbows with the truck stop universities. Well, 358 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean I got my start in football at one 359 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: of those quote unquote truck stop universities. Right, assuming that 360 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about the Boise's, the Fresnos, the San Diego States, 361 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: you know, the PAC twelve always looked down upon them, 362 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: and now you get a position where USC and UCLA 363 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: looks down upon you. This all stems back to it's 364 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: not all his fault because in the Big Ten, in 365 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: the SEC, they care about sports more as a whole 366 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: as a conference. I'm not saying that Oregon doesn't care 367 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: about sports. I'm not saying that USA Football doesn't care 368 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: about football. I'm not saying the UCLA Basketball doesn't care 369 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: about basketball, or Arizona cares about basketball. But as a whole, 370 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: as the it's not even close. And when they named 371 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: Larry Scott, a former Harvard tennis player, the commissioner of 372 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: the league and he took the tactic, it'd be one thing. Listen, 373 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: listen if you named Roger Federer the commissioner of your 374 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: league and he was a diehard football guy who cares 375 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: that he played tennis. If he's all in on football, 376 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: that's all that matters. Larry Scott was obsessed with the 377 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Olympic sports, which who knows if my children one day 378 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: have a much better chance of playing one of the 379 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Olympic sports, and probably not even that because they're not 380 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: gonna be that fast than they ever do playing at 381 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: USC or Oregon, you know, playing guard or blindbacker. But 382 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: it just basic economics to not put all your chips 383 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: in the middle table. On football, you're just a complete idiot, 384 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: like I think you're a fucking moron. You are, You're 385 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: stealing And Larry Scott literally was making millions of dollars 386 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: and the conference kept getting passed lapped in terms of 387 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: the other conferences, and it set him back too far. 388 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: And now it's over once you lose USC and UCLA. 389 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: I think their survival as a conference, even if somehow 390 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: they're able to band aids together. I didn't realize till 391 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: the other day that the Big twelve is already in 392 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: bed and in business now with is it BYU Central Florida, 393 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Houston. So they have fourteen teams? So would 394 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: they add to get to sixteen? Do they add? Do 395 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: they try to get to twenty and just try to 396 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: be an enormous conference at Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah. 397 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: That'd probably be my move, because I don't see the 398 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: Pac twelve. If I'm Oregon in Washington, I would rather 399 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: just try to get on the gravy train with the 400 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: Big Ten. And I actually think it makes sense for 401 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: the Big Ten to add those two schools than ever 402 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: try to do some combination of San Diego State, Fresno State, 403 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: Boise State, more money there. I view myself as there 404 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: equal if I'm Oregon or Washington. Listen, I'm in Scottsdale 405 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: right now. I wish Arizona State was good at stuff 406 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: beside golf and baseball, but they're just not going to be. 407 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: Their football team is just never going to be good. 408 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: It's just not the case. And when I say Colorado 409 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: and Utah, Colorado feels like a Big twelve team. Utah 410 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: would seamlessly transition into there. I think we'll know by 411 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: the end of the month, but I think the Pac 412 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: twelve's in major trouble. And I'm sad. I mean, I'm 413 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: born and raised in northern California going to Memorial Stadium 414 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: for Cal. But I can't feel bad for Cal. Their 415 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: university doesn't give a shit about football, doesn't care at all. Stanford, 416 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: who I think in theory, cares, and they had a 417 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: stretch there with Harbaugh and Shaw where they were consistently 418 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: a top five, top ten team. They were getting like 419 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: five thousand people to show up. When Oregon or Washington 420 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: is that good. Even when they're not, people show up. 421 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: So I think that Oregon Washington now feel like outliers 422 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: as a conference and I'll be I don't have any 423 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: inside information, but I would imagine Phil Knight's broke in 424 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: some backyard deals right to try to get them in 425 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: the conference, to go with USC and UCLA. Because it's 426 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: a sad day, man, but this is kind of the 427 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: nature of the beasts. And you got to give Big 428 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: Ten and the SEC a lot of credit. They were 429 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: forward thinking. The SEC store stole Texas and Oklahoma and 430 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: the Big Ten steals at USC and UCLA. Think how 431 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: big those brands are. I don't care where you live, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Ucla. 432 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: Some years they suck, right, some years they're not a 433 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: powerhouse in basketball or football, But every single person those 434 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: brands are so big. And both the two conferences, the 435 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: Big Twelve and the Pac twelve. USC football doesn't win 436 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: the conference every year. UCLA basketball went through a stretch 437 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: where they weren't that good. Kansas dominates basketball in the 438 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: Big Twelve, right, Texas football hasn't been good in a while, 439 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Those are the two schools that you 440 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: would want out of both conferences, and they got them. 441 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: And it's sad. But if I'm Oregon, I'm trying to 442 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: with Washington, you know, if I had to, if the 443 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: Big Ten wanted Stanford take them too, I screw Washington, 444 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: my rival. But sad Days Man, Sad Sad Days John 445 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: first message. But I've been listening for a few years now. 446 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: Just heard your segment on bringing guests on the show. 447 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: Just wanted to say I like your current philosophy. Personally. 448 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: I listen to my podcast for the content and takes 449 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: of the host and structure of their bread and butter episodes. 450 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: I tend to not vibe with guest episodes as much 451 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 1: as it breaks up what I come to listen for. 452 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's worth it, but I think it's an overplayed 453 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: card by many. I would agree it's why I don't 454 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: do that many guests. I will have some guests. I 455 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: think I'll have some pretty cool ones over the next month. 456 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: I have an idea for like a finance guest that 457 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: I think would be pretty cool. But some former NFL players, 458 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: potential Hall of Famer, another guy that's on a big 459 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: time team have there. I record one with Aaron Murray 460 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: last week, former quarterback of Georgia who has a podcast 461 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: on the volume snaps just talking SEC football. But I'm 462 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: just doing it because it's kind of this is the 463 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: time to do that stuff. Absolutely nothing's going on. Plus 464 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: I can bank some interviews and go on vacation. But 465 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: I hear you that's not going to change. My podcasts 466 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: from the start of football season till now are me. 467 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: That's what pays the Bills trust me by a new house. 468 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: Bills are plenty. I'm sure you've gotten different iterations of 469 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: this question, but I was curious. Colin's a big believer 470 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: in having an offensive coach in today's league to take 471 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: the next step Chiefs, Rams, Bengals, which I completely agree with. 472 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: It's largely why I believe the Bills haven't been able 473 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: to make leaps despite having Josh Allen, just an overall 474 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: lack of focus on the offensive side of the ball. 475 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious if you think the pendulum ever swings back 476 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: to a more defensive mindset to win championships, where if 477 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: you think today's offensive sided rules, it's no longer a possibility. 478 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: Do you have to have a defense to win a championship? 479 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: Look at the best teams in the NFL last year. 480 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: Looks like the final six Cowboys really good defense, Eagles 481 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: knocked prety out forty nine Ers awesome defense, think how 482 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: good the Chiefs defense was down the stretch of the 483 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: season and in the playoffs. The Bengals awesome defense. Part 484 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: of the reason the Bills kind of got worked like 485 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: what happened to their defense, it is you could have 486 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: an offensive coach like Kyle Shanahan, Andy Reid, Nick Sirianni. 487 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: You have to put premium on buying defensive players, drafting 488 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: defensive players, and coaching defense. Ultimately, the Eagles lost the 489 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl because their defensive breakdowns right, their defense talent 490 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: was easily good enough, good players in every position. They 491 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: blew some coverages in the red zone. Andy took advantage 492 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: of him Mahomes easy touchdowns. That was the difference in 493 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: the game. So as much as we all like offense, 494 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: and I love offense, I love quarterbacks. Former guard and 495 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: the wing t back in two thousand and two, but 496 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: that was a joky. It was a joke because I 497 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: did play in the wing team. But you wouldn't if 498 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: you walk by me, wouldn't think I played high school guard, 499 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: but I did quick feet. Not really. You gotta have 500 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: a good defense. Now, Are we ever gonna see lob 501 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: or the Ravens of one or the eighty five Bears 502 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: like those days are over. But I have a hard 503 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: time thinking that some team like the number one offense 504 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: and an average defense is winning. That's just not gonna happen. 505 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: Could be wrong because I don't know the stats up, 506 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: but I would imagine you've got to have a top 507 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: five tennis defense to win Super Bowl, or at the 508 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: time your defense be playing like that. Like I think 509 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: by the end of the season, the Chiefs defense was 510 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: playing at a really high level, Bengals defense playing at 511 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: a really high level, Eagles, Niners, Cowboys, really high level. 512 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: Just wanted to say, I loved your take on Saquon. 513 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: It's these types of viewpoints that make me understand the 514 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: game better and provide This is just I'm gonna say. 515 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,239 Speaker 1: I'm not a Saquon hater either, by the way, I 516 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: just think that no one else. I haven't heard one 517 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: other person say, you know what, He's made a lot 518 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: of money off the Giants. It's been a pretty lucrative 519 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: combination for both sides. Saie Kwan's had his moments of 520 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: being a star, and the Giants have paid him forty 521 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: million dollars. It just we turned so fast to this 522 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: guy's getting screwed, and that to me just it's just 523 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: not true. Okay, I'll end on this. Maybe I'll do 524 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: a couple more after this. A follow up to your 525 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: mail bag question regarding the buy down the interest rate 526 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: a little real estate here. If a seller is willing 527 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: to pay twenty thousand dollars in concession towards your interest rate, 528 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: why wouldn't you take that and add the money to 529 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: your down payment? Or does twenty k also get spread 530 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: over the monthly payment to the seller, or is it 531 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: more financially advantageous smart guy here to have a seller 532 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: put the same money toward the interest rather than contributing 533 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: your down payment. I hope this question is clear, and 534 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: let me know if I'm missing something. I live in Dallas, 535 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: and I'm a potential first time home buyer and have 536 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: been pricing drop and have seen the pricing drop somewhat 537 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: significantly over the last twelve months. Still her learning the 538 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: ins and outs of home buying. Well, if you're a 539 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: lender work at a bank, maybe I could be speak 540 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: speaking out a turn. I don't think you can turn 541 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: right if we agree to a million dollars or five 542 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars whatever the price point is, and you're 543 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: gonna give me twenty thirty ten whatever number in concessions. 544 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: I don't think I can take that number and put 545 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: it toward my down payment. But even if you could, 546 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to, because, as my lender was describing 547 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: it to me, when you put every ten thousand extra 548 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: for maybe it changes based on your loan size, but 549 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: for me, was like an extra fifty sixty thousand, fifty, 550 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: excuse me, every ten thousand dollars. So if your down 551 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: payment was one hundred thousand dollars, if I put one 552 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars, my down payment would basically 553 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: every ten thousand dollars over whatever I read to originally 554 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: would only drop the monthly payment by like fifty or 555 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: sixty dollars. So if I put an extra fifty thousand dollars, 556 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: my monthly payment would only drop potentially two hundred and 557 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: seventy five dollars. Yet, if I take that fifty is 558 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: a high number, you probably wouldn't do that in concessions. 559 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: But let's just say the twenty thousand I put in 560 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: concessions toward my interest rate, that dropped it half a point, 561 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: dropped it over five hundred dollars a month. So when 562 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: you do the concessions toward an interest rate, because usually 563 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: if you have a five hundred thousand dollars loan, an 564 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars loan, a million dollar loan, you 565 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: start talking the difference of five, five and a half, 566 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: six seven, and you drop a half point. That is 567 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: a substantial amount of money when you think about it's 568 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: one thing if you're paying interest six percent on ten 569 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, well think if you're paying six percent on 570 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars. Substantial amount of different differentiation in 571 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: five and a half to six percent, so it actually 572 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: benefits you more in terms of your monthly payment. It's 573 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: crazy because in your mind, he's like, you know, you'd 574 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: be better off. He was mad, like something happened in 575 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: my loan and I had to instead of being five percent, 576 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: I had to give ten percent. And he's like, even 577 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: giving that extra, you know, whatever I had to give, 578 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: He's like, it doesn't drop your monthly payment that much. 579 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: Your monthly payment dropped much more. Messing with the interest rate. 580 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: It's crazy how it works. But usually these guys and 581 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 1: you're dealing with the lenders, they fire that off because 582 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: in our heads, it's like, well, if I give you 583 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: an extra fifty thousand dollars, doesn't that drop my monthly 584 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: payment by like a thousand? Like no, it drops it 585 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: by you know, two hundred and seventy eight dollars. You're like, 586 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: how does this add up the interest rate? Man? At 587 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: what point does the title of pro bowler completely lose 588 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: its value? Because for me, Tyler Huntley was the nail 589 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: in the coffin, uh, the Pro Bowl with the amount. 590 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: I feel like when I was a kid in the nineties, 591 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: if you made the Pro Bowl, it was like, oh, 592 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Dion Sanders, Reggie White, like the 593 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: top players that made the Pro Bowl that were not 594 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Brett Fahr played in the Pro Bowl, 595 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: Ray Lewis, you name it, Jonathan Ogden. Now you look up, 596 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: You're like, wait, this is Tyler Huntley versus Derek Carr 597 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: because everyone drops out, and I think this is a 598 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: reflection of one money. When you if I'm a six 599 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: time Pro bowler and I'm making twenty million dollars a 600 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: year and my team just lost in the second round 601 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: of the playoffs, I'll take my family on vacation. I 602 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: don't give a shit about going to Vegas and screwing 603 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: around for a couple of days. Maybe I do, and 604 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: maybe I'll go, but a lot of guys clearly do not. 605 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: So I think it's a combination of these guys are 606 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: so rich, and the richer you get, the less inclined 607 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: you are to do something you don't want to do. 608 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: And a big reason they don't want to do it 609 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: the game's a joke. The game, it hasn't mattered in years, 610 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: and now they played flag football last year. So I 611 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: would say, now, I've always thought all pros matter. I 612 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: would got into an argument I said last podcast that 613 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was in a different universe than Drew Brees 614 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: and clearly a Saints fan. Maybe Drew Brees brother. Hell, 615 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: maybe Drew Brees on a burner account slid into my 616 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: DMS and was bad. He's like, that is that is 617 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: so stupid? You are way off on this one. He's like, 618 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: Drew Brees finished second in the MVP to Rogers in eleven. 619 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: Check his stats, check his numbers. Here's my take on it. 620 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: I no sight of Drew Brees. Drew Brees is a 621 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame level player. If I pulled every NFL 622 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: coach in the history of the NFL Sean Payton included, 623 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: and every general manager in the history of the league, 624 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: and gave them a chance to go, would you rather 625 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers in their prime or Drew Brees in 626 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: their prime? Both Hall of famers. I think Aaron Rodgers 627 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: would be one hundred percent the selection. So that is 628 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: the way, Like we're nitpicking the best, right, the best 629 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: of the best. Like I can compare Tiger Woods, Ernie 630 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: El's great player won like six majors, like Tiger's in 631 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: a different universe than Ernie El's. That's not Ernie Els 632 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: an all time great golfer, all time great like Drew 633 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: Brees all time great. I understand that Aaron only has 634 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: the one Super Bowl and Drew they have the same 635 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: amount of Super Bowls, But I just don't see how 636 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: anyone objectively thinks that they are similar players. It's like, well, 637 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: Aaron's more talented, Aaron's a better player. He just is. 638 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,239 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how else to say it. 639 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: We'll end on this because I think this brings the 640 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: two of them in as well. I heard a podcast 641 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: question about the difference between Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy. 642 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: I think the big difference is the organizations that McCarthy 643 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: was with and Peyton taking over traditionally horrendous organization in 644 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: the Saints and making them into consistent winners. A lot 645 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: of guys have won in Green Bay, in Dallas, nobody, 646 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: but Peyton has won in New Orleans. I think that's 647 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: a great point. So that would also probably Aaron Rodgers, 648 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: especially if he wins this year with Robert Salah and 649 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: the Jets. Dude could win with anybody. Sean Payton if 650 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: he were to win this year with a Wash, Russell 651 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: Wilson and the Denvers all of a sudden, a nine 652 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: or ten win team, I I think there's something to that. 653 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: McCarthy gets fired. They bring in the floor. What has 654 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: the floor done? One? Last year was a devastating year. 655 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: What was their record? Nine to eight? So I think 656 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers much better. I think everyone would choose Aaron 657 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: Rodgers over Drew Brees, just like everyone would choose Sean 658 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: Payton over McCarthy. I do think there might be some 659 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: people that would choose McCarthy. If you were talking to 660 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: GMS over Peyton, just because Peyton probably bigger, ego, more 661 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: Jews would want be more difficult to like talk off 662 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: the things he wanted to do. Like you know, Sean, 663 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: we need to ride tackle. Are we sure we want 664 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: to give fifty million dollars to mcglinchy. Can we get 665 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: him to accept thirty two million dollars not fifty? Do 666 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: we have to give him fifty million dollars? I get 667 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: you want to write tackle, but is this good business? 668 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: Even coward, you know, Coward loves that mcglinchy signing. I 669 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: just have one. And mcglinchy's a five year starter for 670 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers who three of those years when 671 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. So mclinchy's a real NFL player, 672 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: just you know, got some physical limitations the speed off 673 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: the edge, get your quarterback sack basically once a game. 674 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: But Russell can move in theory. Maybe we'll see if 675 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: that comes back. Okay, I think that'll do it. My 676 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: guy holds on the audio, James on the video. Got 677 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: to give a shot out to people behind the scenes 678 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: because they make this thing go. And no, we will 679 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: do no mail bag this weekend because we got golf on. 680 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: You guys are probably at the pool with the fam. 681 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: Enjoy yourself, enjoy your life. It's the summer, and yeah, 682 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: went on that pace. The volume h
