Speaker 1: know if it's woozy, but it's a band. Oh, I

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,800

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: a mix between Little Kim and Foxy Brown, and I

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,600

Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that, get into and into

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: depth on that. And also there is a a name

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: from the past that I didn't think would resurface and

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: yet he has, so we'll get to that. And then

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: speaking of names that we're waiting to surface, Uh, for

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: the fourth year here on NFL dot com, I have

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: unveiled the Graybeards, who have, of course, are centered in

42
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: San Diego, so the two thousand eighteen San Diego Graybeards,

43
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and I will throw out both to Connie and Greg

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: the roster. Greg, just like Evan Silva, the big old

45
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: fish at roto World, who helped me out with this piece,

46
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: and you could check it out at NFL dot com

47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: slash Kansas. Uh, give me your unvarnished takes on the roster.

48
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: I think eight and eight is a possibility. Usually I'm

49
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: like four and twelve, five and eleven, maybe six and ten.

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: I think we might get eight dubs in a big spot. Well,

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: the Graybeards, you're putting together a team full of players

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: that don't have a job, right, I should have made

53
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: that more clear. I thought everyone in the world knew

54
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: by now. But yes, the Gray Beards completely comprised the

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: players that are still unemployed. Eight. I'm not buying any

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: fourth week. I don't even need to. I have the

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: general gist. Really well, it's way too high. Okay, but

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: you haven't made it to the defense yet. We'll get

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: to it. You sent me for feedback yesterday I was like,

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Ernie Adams. I'm not getting any credit

61
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: for it, but that's true. That's personnel, and you did

62
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: help me. You definitely an Adams ask figure. But and

63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: then we'll get some male bad questions from you. The

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: listeners always fun. But before we do that, let's get

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: to the news. Uh. And to do that, I throw

66
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: it to Lindsay Fulton. How are you welcome back? Lens? Thanks,

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: happy to be back. Even though my voice is gone,

68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: I sound like man. I always like a little scratchy

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: noess in choice. I don't. I've never had a problem

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: with it. Way beyond scratchiness. I was trying to read

71
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: in church, to do a reading, and I was like,

72
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: it was it was much worse. But it's getting all betterright,

73
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: all right, we're going in the right direction. Yeah, let's

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: do some news. What's up y'all? We here in Venice.

75
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: We just touched down. It's the first day we got

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: the whole squad out here. Ta ta my dog, Mark

77
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Wood is cre here, man is beautiful, US tour trip underway.

78
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: We love you. This is the best at Saints running

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: back Mark Ingram, who did an introduction video once Mark

80
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Sessler the hero one of the heroes not with us. Uh.

81
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: They touched down in Venice, Italy, and and Ingram sent

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: out that that social media posting Mark with a C

83
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: Yeah Mark, which is pretty funny, and then did his

84
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Mark thing where he just sticks out his hands as

85
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: far as possible. That's his movie, is gonna use it.

86
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: So and I have been in periodic contact with Mark

87
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: via text. We're trying to get him on the show

88
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: or maybe some type of special that would be a

89
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: big fish to land that would be so far unsuccessed.

90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm sure by now he's represented by someone. But

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: by the end of the week we'd loved it and

92
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll hear from Mark or one of his new friends.

93
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: That's great. We always joke when Mark's away um that

94
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: maybe he's not going to come back this one. If

95
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: if he tried to dot you know, if he tried

96
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: to not come back, it would create an international incident,

97
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: like the arms, like the government, that's true forces would

98
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: be looking for him. So I saw Mark Ingram Good

99
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: attacked by a doll. That was an amazing video that

100
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler escalating. I think the things that they're doing,

101
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: that's a good scoop nice video scoop. But it's like

102
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: Mark is almost a like one of those TMZ guys

103
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: that hangs out outside and stuff and had at the

104
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: video was zingram. Okay, is that an injury? Yeah? He

105
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: talked about it afterwards. He seemed he seemed okay. He posted, Yeah,

106
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: he he was talking about I guess that was the

107
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: third time he did it. He did the first two

108
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: times he just got bit and then the third time

109
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: he tried to juke the dog and the dog horse

110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: collared him. Wow, what a what a scenario. So uh yeah,

111
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Mark is of course Italy. He's going to Germany. Check

112
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: out his Instagram. Check out his Instagram and many other

113
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: social media platforms. Apparently we learned on Monday. Right, this

114
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: is the best thing that could have ever happened to

115
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: us and Mark. I'm so excited to like just live

116
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: vicariously through him right now. Um, okay, let's get into

117
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: the news and we will start with the big trade. Yes,

118
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: the tsunami hit and the New England Patriots send wide

119
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: receiver Brandon Cooks, who was their leading receiver last year,

120
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: their number one target receiver last year, acquired a year

121
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: earlier in a trade with the Saints that cost the

122
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: first round pick. They send Cooks to the Rams uh

123
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: in exchange for are a first round pick. There's some

124
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: mid round picks involved as well on each side. Uh

125
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: So the Patriots one and done with Brandon Cooks, the

126
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Rams collect another weapon for an extremely impressive roster, and

127
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: on top of that Greg uh it kind of puts

128
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: the bed the speculation, the very real speculation, according to

129
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: Steve Wish on Monday, that Odell Beckham could potentially end

130
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: up in Los Angeles. They have their new number one

131
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: or number one Ish receiver. It's Brandon Cooks. Let's start

132
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: with the Rams. Yeah. The Rams are to me the

133
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: biggest part of the story because what they're doing we

134
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: just we just haven't seen it. I mean they it

135
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: was like a couple of trades ago, we were like, wow,

136
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: this is crazy how much the Rams are trading. Now

137
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: it's like with this one, people are like, all right,

138
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: that's enough, let's be a little more respectful. Guys like

139
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: too many like amazing the big trades. It's interesting to

140
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: me that Adam Schefter reported they were going after Brandon

141
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Cooks before the Beckham news even came up, that they've

142
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: been pursuing him for weeks. They really saw that number

143
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: one receiver space is something that needed to be filled,

144
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: and they were willing to pay a lot for it,

145
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: because giving up a first round pick for Cooks uh

146
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: is a lot when he only has one year left

147
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: on his contract. And I think the Patriots probably have

148
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: to be convinced into it. And it sounds like they

149
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: tried to get a deal done, perhaps with Cooks, and

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: they realized they were not going to be in the

151
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: ballpark to pay Cooks whatever he's gonna get, which I

152
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: would imagine it'll be sixteen seventeen, eighteen million dollars a year,

153
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: And in the end they decided, man, we we could

154
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: use some more picks. We have had one top fifty

155
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: pick in the last three years combined, and they took

156
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: the deal. I think it's a good deal for both sides.

157
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: That it's okay to be a good deal for both sides.

158
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: He reported that everything always seems it seems like everything

159
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: always seems a good deal this time, but this is

160
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: a good this is a good player, and it's a

161
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: first round pick. They could blow the pick, of course,

162
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: but it's a good It's nice for them to have

163
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: a Free Voice also reported that the Rams and and

164
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: Cooks are in very serious negotiations to get along to

165
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the deal done Colleen, which seems to be necessary. If

166
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: you give it a first round pick, you're not doing

167
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: it for a rental, right, And it's funny. I was

168
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: I was texting with friend of the show Kara Henderson

169
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Snead right before this happened, and I was like, what's

170
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: going on with Odell? Like what, what's what's actually happening

171
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: right now? And she was like, that's a loaded question.

172
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: And so it's like, what's the deal with O'Dell? Um?

173
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: And so I mean, like honestly, minutes later then the

174
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: Cooks thing came down. And it's funny because I think

175
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: it speaks a lot that she's not going to give

176
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: you any information that she didn't She's not anyway. Yeah,

177
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: she she gives me some things, but you know, uh,

178
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: don't discount the nugs that Snead might be given old.

179
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: But um, I think it speaks a lot about the

180
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver prospects in this draft class that are coming

181
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: out to that the Rams would give up that pick

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: because they probably wanted a wide receiver and why not

183
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: get a guy who's proven already. Right, Well, they gave

184
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: up their second round pick for Sammy Watkins last year. Yeah,

185
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's in this draft. So their first

186
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: two picks have already been used. They used their fourth

187
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: and fifth round picks in there in these other trades,

188
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: including the key to Leave trade in the Marcus Peter Street.

189
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: So that is their draft classes, all these veterans, and

190
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: it didn't work with Watkins, so it almost takes more

191
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: hut spot. It shows the Rams are feeling this even

192
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: more to do the same event essentially the same thing again.

193
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Should we move them ahead in the rankings? Er one

194
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: thin one with a bullet and you know Watkins and

195
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: maybe time will prove this incorrect, but I don't think

196
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: he's ever really proved himself to be a true number

197
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: one receiver. And they moved on from Watkins after much

198
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: thought and consideration about giving him the tag. Now they're

199
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: saying Brandon cooksby are number one receiver and they're good

200
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: at greg you wrote a really good winners and losers piece. Uh,

201
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks agents in a great spot because they kind

202
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: of have the Rams over the barrel. Uh, he's gonna

203
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: get number one wide receiver money. But is Brandon Cooks

204
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver? It's fair, not exactly, but that's okay.

205
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: He's he's had about yards per season the last three years.

206
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: He can go deep, he can do the shallow crosses.

207
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: He's very versatile. They'll know how to use him. He's

208
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: not a top ten player at receiver in the NFL. No,

209
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: but he's a really good player. I mean, so, yeah,

210
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay him a lot of money, but it's

211
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: a it's a sure thing. It's just weird that they

212
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: thought that was such a priority that Robert Woods, cup Higbee,

213
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: whatever they had as receiving option was somehow barren. Whereas

214
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots I think, look at it like we're not

215
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna give this guy this money. And we've got people

216
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, they got to replace Edelman and Cooks

217
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: in the draft. It's like they they went to the

218
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl and won it with Brandon LaFell starting every

219
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: week They've they've been to a lot of Super Bowls

220
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: with inferior receiver groups to Edelman, Hogan, Malcolm Mitchell. Maybe

221
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt does a little something. Cordurell Patterson. Philip Door said,

222
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: I don't look at the Patriots and thing received for

223
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: is their problem. They've got some problems, that's not their

224
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: number one problem. Think about Sean McVeigh this time last

225
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: year when he was looking at the roster and he

226
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: was saying, there's no web, there are no explosive weapons

227
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: on on this roster right now, and he's just continuing

228
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: what he did last year. I mean, can you imagine

229
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: being Jared Golf right now? Like what what is he?

230
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: He is feeling himself right now? He should have been

231
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: in the rank he has. I mean, he's part of

232
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: the Rams. Obviously, the Rams are gonna have a ton

233
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: of expectations this year, but and I think they have

234
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: the goods back it up. But back to the Patriots, Greg,

235
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: and I know I've enjoyed your piece. I've already said

236
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: it once in the I'm reading it as we do. However, Uh,

237
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: sometimes I sense that your default with the Patriots is

238
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: to tell everybody just calm down, nothing is really that

239
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: big a deal. You do that two days ago. But

240
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: I think that this is potentially a really big deal.

241
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: I'll start real quick with the water. That's a big

242
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: deal and more In Bill we trust, and Bill we

243
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: trust and he's earned. This is a really there have

244
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: been seismic changes to this team in the offseason, and

245
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Cooks is just the latest guy now and you're probably

246
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna hold onto Grock now, which always made sense. But

247
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: there are a lot of changes. And then you have

248
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: the two number one picks, which is massive intrigue. And

249
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: I immediately, just trying to get Greg fired up, said

250
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: this was all prelude to Tom Brady retired into and

251
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, and we've heard whispers and it's out

252
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: in print out there if you read around that Tom

253
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Brady has not actually come out and said I'm definitely

254
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: playing this year. Now the Pats have two first round picks.

255
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: And to me, this is how I've read this whole thing,

256
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: And and it goes all the way back to the

257
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Seth Workersham piece, which I think has proven to be

258
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: a good look at the real situation. I think he

259
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: got it right that Belichick is planning post Brady to

260
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: show that it wasn't just Tom Brady that made him

261
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: arguably the greatest coach ever. And I think this is

262
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: about life after Tommy Boy. For the first time, I

263
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: really think Belichick's plan that way is it for life

264
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: after Bill Belichick too. Is he setting all of the

265
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: stuff think so, I think he wants to have one

266
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: big run without Brady the show that it wasn't Tom

267
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: and that's what this, uh, these two first round picks

268
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: to me, could set up. I totally disagree, because he's

269
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: just making the types of moves that he's made throughout.

270
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't That's why he's feeling himself is because he

271
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: doesn't change for anyone. He's traded guys at the end

272
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: of their contracts four picks before they got to that

273
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: final year over and over again. Happened with Chandler Jones,

274
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: it happened with Jamie Collins, Like this is sort of

275
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: what they he does. If anything, it does show he's

276
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: thinking long term. But I think he's always like thinking

277
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: long term. I expected them to draft a quarterback in

278
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: this draft because they drafted one in two thousand eleven

279
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: in the third round. People were upset they took Ryan Mallett.

280
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: People were upset they took Jimmy Garoppolo. That was you know,

281
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was five years younger. Then of course they're

282
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: going to take a quarterback. I don't know if it's

283
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna be with one of those first two picks. They

284
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of big time needs at tackle in

285
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: the front seven. I don't know if they have an

286
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: idea to trade up. I don't think they know that

287
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: because there's no way that you can. But I'd be

288
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: stunned if they don't use one of those first four picks,

289
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: let's say, because why wouldn't they because quarterbacks are well,

290
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: what if they take those two first round picks and

291
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: get one of the big four. It's possible. It's in play,

292
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: I think right now, and that becomes very interesting. It

293
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: would cost a lot. I think it would cost more

294
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: than just those first two picks to get up to take.

295
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: But maybe they really like another a couple of the

296
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they think might slip past. And yeah, that

297
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: that just gives them more flexibility. They had two first

298
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: round picks back in two thousand twelve. They ended up

299
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: trading up, I believe to take down too high Tower

300
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: when when they drafted him and Jones like they might.

301
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: It might be the boring answer, just that they take

302
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: defensive like they might take defensive players, and they move

303
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: all around and they use all these picks. But they

304
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: needed some young talent. They have not had top shelf

305
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: draft picks on that team, in which how great is

306
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: this draft gonna be? Oh my god, I'm so excited

307
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: when the Patriots added to it. We feel this is

308
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: a long way away from Eric Fisher or Luke Jokel

309
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: who goes everyone. This is like the opposite of that.

310
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: This is the most exciting draft since the Man's l Draft.

311
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it yesterday and I'm like, I

312
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: can't believe we have to wait so long for the draft.

313
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: It feels like Christmas a little bit, like you're making list,

314
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: you're doing mock drafts. You're trying to figure things out

315
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: what you want, what you need, what teams need. And

316
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: then it's like you're counting down the dates. What's especially

317
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: acute for you because you're just watching, you know, marathons

318
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: have snapped on your like, when does when's the next show?

319
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: I do next? My in laws are in time. I

320
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: watched an episode of Snaps. Snaps snapped over, let's do that,

321
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: Let's pitch that up. The show Snaps it's about wives

322
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: of football players. They get super pissed at their husbands

323
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: not being around. Um stupid. It was okay though, it

324
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: was an okay show, But I found it to be

325
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: a watered down version of eight line episode. It's not

326
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: necessarily a good show. It's just it hooks you, and

327
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: for me, I couldn't stop watching it once I got

328
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: like halfway in. Gonzo should absolutely be worried that you

329
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: watched eight in a Row in a darkened living room alone.

330
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: It was during the day he pulled the bloods, all right,

331
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: so much more to dig into about that trade with

332
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: the intrigue that will come along. Let's Need's got a

333
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: lot to do. He's got a lot to handle right now.

334
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: It's putting, he's putting pressure on himself. That guy's got

335
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: it together. I feel like he'll be fine. I'm just

336
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: saying he's just busy. Aaron Donald Brandon Cooks. You're gonna

337
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: have to figure out Peters. You're gonna have to figure out,

338
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: you know, whether Sue is there long term. There's just

339
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot going on. Girl, He's gonna have his controence.

340
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Good problem to have. I would love to be less

341
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: need Over under eleven and a half wins for the

342
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: Rams of the Patriots both uh, I think that's a

343
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: good number to give me over. You gotta bang me

344
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: over on the page. It let's be honest, just out

345
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: of respect, I'll go over for both. Okay, Uh, because

346
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for it for the Rams, I'm not sure

347
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: I believe it, but I'm rooting for it, and you're

348
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: but you're not rooting a word for the Patriots. I'm

349
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: rooting for of course, I'm rooting for it for both.

350
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: I haven't picked against the Patriots once on this podcast. Okay,

351
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: moving on a a surprise signing, I would call it.

352
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say Robert Griffin the third

353
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: has been off the radar. Uh in the NFL. And

354
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: my speaking of my in laws, my father in law,

355
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: Bob Bates, great man. Shout out to Bob, a big

356
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: bailor guy, goes to all the events. So he tracked

357
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: he's been tracking Griffin since his college days. And he

358
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: came up Griffin this weekend. Uh, what's what's up with him?

359
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: And like, I think he's just done because you would

360
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: you would have he was out of football last year.

361
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: You would have thought maybe he goes to the CFL,

362
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: or he's maybe showing up and workouts, and he just

363
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: seemed to be off the radar and then out of nowhere,

364
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: it's announced on Wednesday by the Ravens that they agreed

365
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: to a one year contract with r G three. Ozzie

366
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: Newsom had this to say, Kylie, and he came in

367
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: last week, worked out, had a real good workout, and

368
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: we were able to come in come to an agreement

369
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: late yesterday. He will probably be here early next week

370
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: to sign the deal. Your thoughts years old, alright, So,

371
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: I mean they obviously need a backup for Joe Flacco,

372
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: especially with everything the way it went last year. Um,

373
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: and now that Ryan Mallett isn't there anymore that this

374
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: makes sense. But the thing that I think is interesting

375
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: to me, it's not even so much r G three

376
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: and what his future with the team is. It's the

377
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: transition of power between Ozzie Newsome and Eric da Costa

378
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: and how this is actually happening right now if it's

379
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: a mixture of the two, because I would imagine that

380
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: this is it's it's got to be an odd situation

381
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: in there when you've had a guy in power for

382
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: so long handing it off. I mean, is it it

383
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: was this one Azzi is in a mix of both.

384
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Is Eric sort of doing things under the tutelage of him?

385
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Like I would just like he's been there too for

386
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: this for ten years, sure, but he hasn't been calling

387
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: the shots. Has always been Ozzie's game, So I would

388
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: be interested to find out, like who actually made the

389
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: call there. It's weird. It's a weird signing. Number One,

390
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: are that who could be more more unlike Joe Flacco

391
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: than the offense is totally different. Two, it's hard not

392
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: to think about the fact that they seriously considered signing

393
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Kaepernick last August. It really seemed like John Harbo the coach,

394
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: wanted to sign Kaepernick last August or late July, and

395
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: then it got held up, whether that was through ownership

396
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: or fans being mad about and now you signed r

397
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: G three. I don't know it just it just seems strange.

398
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: It seems strange to me. And then and you think

399
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: about how how much has changed since two thousand twelve.

400
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring you back, do it. I'm gonna bring

401
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: you back to uh February four, two thousand twelves. Take

402
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: us back the first ever NFL honors happened. The worst

403
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: you guys were there, the worst Dan was there. I

404
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: was there. Give us the weekend off. So Dan disagrees

405
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: apparently with Jeff Darlington's headline on our site, which says

406
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: first ever NFL honors ceremony a smashing success. All I'm

407
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: saying is, and you know, I love this company, But Saturday,

408
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: when you go to the Super Bowls, the one day

409
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: you get to get together with your family and get

410
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, you have like a fourteen fifteen

411
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: hour day. Ahea do you on Sunday? And then all

412
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the oscars of the NFL was dropped

413
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: into seven. Well, but it was the first. It was

414
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: the first ever, and it was a smashing success. Alec

415
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin with the monologue on that night, continue Robert Griffin,

416
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: the third wins Offensive Rookie of the Year over Andrew Luck,

417
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and some other good players that year. The

418
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: next day, Joe Flacco wins Super Bowl m v P

419
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: and basically gets a promise from his owner on the

420
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: NFL network set that he's to become the highest paid

421
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. And I could have been played better. Yeah,

422
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: both of these guys are in a much different place

423
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: than they were. I think we all were. Ye we

424
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: all are right now. Speaking of Allen Joe Flac was

425
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: hosting a golf show that that was like that show

426
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: now I've never played. Now you've got like four different

427
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: shows you host. Everybody Google Colleen. That's all they gotta do.

428
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: It's already too late. Uh. My favorite headline from yesterday

429
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: this is a paraphrase, but Ravens to Flacco, start a camp. Bro,

430
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god what. I don't know this. They wanted

431
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: to start like a wide receiver camp with his boys

432
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: to get a customed with each other and get comfortable.

433
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are not that r G three

434
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: is the guy that's going to become the answer quarterback.

435
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: But the Ravens are like, go, Bro, start camp. I

436
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: just feel like John Harball, she's gonna be on the

437
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: hot butt seats soon. I think he was last year.

438
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: I think Rebels getting hotter and hotter though. And I

439
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: feel like, especially with the transition of things, that it

440
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: feels like it's transition. Yeah Flacco. Flacco needs to be

441
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: a lot better. I mean, they don't have anyone out.

442
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I any three makes the team,

443
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: I would assume they're going to draft someone too. There's

444
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of teams in the sneaky quarterback. Yeah,

445
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: market like the Patriots, like the race. It's gonna be good.

446
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of the draft and notorious picks, Johnny Manziel was

447
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show UM today Wednesday, and he's

448
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: on as we all know, he's kind of on the

449
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: apology tour. He's on the comeback tour. He's trying to

450
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: get it. He's trying to get in a position that

451
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: r G three got into today and he was asked

452
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: about what it regrets he had about you know what

453
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: happened after he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in

454
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen. If Cleveland did any of their homework,

455
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: they would have known that I was a guy that

456
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: didn't come in every day and watch film. I was

457
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: a guy that, um didn't really know the xs and

458
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: os of of football. So when I get to Cleveland,

459
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, I have a quarterback in the room with

460
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: me that's that's not helping me. And it's not really

461
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: his John too, But nobody was there like helping me

462
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: go over to xces and os and and it was

463
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: it was hard I bring this up Greg enough to

464
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: delve back into the Browns failing with Johnny Manziel, but

465
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: uh more just looking ahead with Cleveland and that Robert

466
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: Clemco of s i UM commented on Twitter. I thought

467
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: it was a good point to bring up that a

468
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: lot of people in Cleveland's building wanted nothing to do

469
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: with Johnny Manziel. That they saw the red flags and

470
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: then from up above, I mean the very top floor,

471
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: bang the red button and said I want Johnny Manziel.

472
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Just something to keep in mind now, is Cleveland makes

473
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: the next huge quarterback choice. Uh it is the same

474
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: man in charge that was in charge four years ago.

475
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: The first thing I thought about with this were the

476
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: comments that Jim Moore made about Josh Rosen going to

477
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: a situation that's going to help him succeed and how

478
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: he talked about I think he said that Sam Donald

479
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: should go to the Browns. And it kind of comes

480
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: full circle when you hear Johnny Manzel talking about how

481
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: nobody was there to help me with things like, I mean,

482
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: these guys are super immature, a lot of them when

483
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: they come in and it's their first time with a

484
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: lot of money and fame, and like you need to

485
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: have a good coaching staff there to help with these

486
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: A lot of them are, but a lot of them,

487
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: especially first round quarterbacks and picks in general, are very mature,

488
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, coming in. That's why you spend the first

489
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: round pick on them. I mean, if you look at

490
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: like that, that two thousand twelve draft class that we

491
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: just talked about, Russell Wilson was pretty mature, Andrew luck

492
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: was pretty already three. Maturity I don't think was his problem.

493
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: It's funny. I my takeaway from that quote was the

494
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: the shade being thrown at Brian Hoyer there. I was

495
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: as that. I don't think that's the first time that, um,

496
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: we've heard Brian Hoyer. Maybe you know, you don't always

497
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: have to be buddies with with the other guys in

498
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: your quarterback I don't think that was a total shock.

499
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Kyle Shanahan was their offensive coordinator. I mean,

500
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: who would would have been a better person to teach

501
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: the XS and os? That's on that's on Johnny Manzel.

502
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah uh, And to Manzel's credit, he's taken the blame

503
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: during this media tours. I messed up my life. I

504
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: had I had mental issues at the time that got

505
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: worse and worse. But anyway, interesting will the Browns make

506
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: the right decision. They gotta get it right. Other quarterback news,

507
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is suing a I like this. This is

508
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: so interesting because I mean it's a little bit of

509
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: a la ravil magnifico for our friend Drew Brees, because

510
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: you know Drew, I don't, Well, that's true, we don't

511
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: know Drew. You could say it's a la ravio magnifico.

512
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: How much you liked this story. We join another's downfall, Yeah,

513
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: his downfall. Let's calm down about that. But I found

514
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: it very interesting that Drew Brees, who who is very um,

515
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: very focused on presenting a certain type of image of

516
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: himself that uh, you know, maybe maybe not as exactly

517
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: who Drew Brees is. Drew Brees has a massive jewelry jewelry. Uh,

518
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: I would say jewelry. It's jewelry, jewelry. Very important that

519
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: you say it correct. I don't know, I don't say

520
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: any words right anyway, he has a huge jewelry collection.

521
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: It's very hard to say he has a huge collection

522
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: of jewels and uh he is right now and this

523
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: was on TMC dot com. He has filed a lawsuit

524
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: against some bro named Vahidmati, who runs a jewel shop

525
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: in San Diego, over a eight million dollar diamond ring

526
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: that purchased uh and he had it recently appraised and

527
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: it was found that it was only worth three point

528
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: seven five million. And uh Breese claims he's been buying

529
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: jewelry from Marati for years, dropping roughly fifteen million on

530
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: a collection of pieces, watches, earrings, and rings. Uh. So

531
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: he's up that that's it. You got God? What's he

532
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: doing buying the heart of the ocean over there? Like what?

533
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand that this is an investment. I didn't

534
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: know that people bought jewels. Are we surprised? What what's

535
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: he doing with all that jewelry? Who's dropping eight million

536
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: on a ring? He's buying it for his wife? I

537
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: think too, don't you have to get that stuff a

538
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: praise to like outside? I would think if you were

539
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: going to sink that much money into something, wouldn't you

540
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: be like, hey, let me have somebody else check this

541
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: out to my most interesting part of the story that

542
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: I read in The Times, Pig Union's version came from

543
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: a statement for the jeweler uh. And this is the

544
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: end of the statement. He should restrict his game plane

545
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: to the football field and refrain from bullying honest, hard

546
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: working businessman like my client wore that I want I

547
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: wanna before mr behavior and belief that he was wrong

548
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: because the jewelry did not appreciate in value as quickly

549
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: as he hoped. Both demonstrate the lack of integrity and

550
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: contradict basic principles of both economics and Law's your fault, probably,

551
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: by the way, shouts to Eric M. George, because he

552
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: was dropping nugs. I got one more. Drew Brees aggressively

553
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: purchased multimillion dollar pieces of jewelry. Years later, claiming to

554
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: suffer quote cash flow problems, he tried to bully my

555
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: client into undoing the transactions. Very interesting story is that

556
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: woman at the bar with all of the jewelry on.

557
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm not judging. I'm not even judging Drew Brees.

558
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you would expect, you know, Peakee, Dion Sanders,

559
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: maybe Chloe Kardashian to be buying this amount of jewels.

560
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm a little I was a little surprised,

561
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: that's all. You just never know. To make this public

562
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: is tough because you're kind of it's kind of a

563
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: self phone. You're not coming out on top putting this

564
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: story in the public, even if you're even if you

565
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: get some of this money back, just putting it out

566
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: there does not put him in the best light. And

567
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: it reminds me a lot of a great Mina Kimes story.

568
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: She's great, she once said, she listened to the podcast,

569
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: so that's exciting. A fantastic writer. And and tweeter and

570
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: she wrote about breezes involvement in Advocate, which was this

571
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, questionable company that was maybe a pyramid scheme,

572
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: maybe not, and Breeze was at the top of it.

573
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: It's a really article a few years ago. And and yeah,

574
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know it was freezing. It's weird that two

575
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: big financial breeze stories have come out in the last

576
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: three years. That's a I and this jeweler were close friends,

577
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: I guess in the past, so ain't no mo uh

578
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: And finally in the news all right, I was fascinated

579
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: by that story, Connie a little as a little bit

580
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: of a fascination for a von Miller uh in the

581
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: headline story another TMZ story that broke initially a photo

582
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: of him with a big hammer head shark in a

583
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: fishing boat and I think off the coast of Miami.

584
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: And now Pete is all fired up nine and a

585
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: half foot shark. Um, and I guess that's uh, that's endangered.

586
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: You can't mess with the sharks, man, they're in trouble

587
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: one of the gas and you're not allowed to. It's

588
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: a giant shark. If you guys have seen the picture,

589
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: it's it's brutal looking like I mean, I say, it's

590
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: a beautiful. What does this have to do with von Miller,

591
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: He's a fine fisherman. No, that pet apparently, Uh they

592
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: said that they caught the shark and then released it.

593
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: And the thing that didn't drive with me on that

594
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: was the photos shows the shark like bleeding profusely. I

595
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: don't know if that thing was making it back in

596
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the water. So hammerheads are classified as Group three sharks. Um.

597
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: And so it's a second degree misdemeanor. Um. Yeah, so

598
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: that would mean it's punishable. Uh there you could do

599
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: al time for it, up to five dollar fine and

600
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: sixty days in jail. Suddenly, Colleen goes to the shark

601
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: tank at the Mall of American. She thinks she's a shark.

602
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: It says harvesting them in state waters is a second

603
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: degree misdemeanor. I know nothing about fishing or golf. You

604
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: guys are learning a lot about me here. Yeah, Colleen

605
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: wanted to throwout a big Tiger Wood segment because she's

606
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: so excited about comeback season. That's right, Tiger Woods. Yeah,

607
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: maybe we'll canna make the final cut appear. Maybe we'll

608
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,400

00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: asking you to plug your program. Oh I thought you

614
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: were asking why. I thought you were like interrogating me

615
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: why I couldn't be the plot and I got a

616
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:53,200

645
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: I've run into him running along the beach. Yeah, he's

646
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: always exercise. He's coming the other way, and I can

647
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: just tell even in that little, that little interaction that

648
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: he's he does it a lot faster, and you know,

649
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: he's a lot of himself, very very and I'm the opposite.

650
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: Gonzo is one of those guys that always looks exactly

651
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: eight years younger than he actually is. It's the worst

652
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: because now we're catching up to each other. That's problem.

653
00:34:54,719 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: That's a problem. All Right, here we go, shouts to Gonzo. Uh.

654
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: John Renaldo is an American sports writer. Was married NFL

655
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: be a poadcaster. John, who was a pisces, resides in

656
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles with his wife and two dollars. Alright, the

657
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen San Diego Graybeards have landed. I

658
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: have taken I. You know, I put a lot of

659
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: work into this grinding Eden's grinders, no more so, this

660
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: is a handsas grind night up well past uh one

661
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: am Greg finishing this copy? This is this is like

662
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: Greg's like, oh, I do that, but you know, the

663
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: old Jews done because it's very important that the graybeards

664
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: is not something you just knock out in forty five minutes.

665
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: You need to go through the whole open free agent field. Yes,

666
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: it's so important that you had Evan Silva uptil three

667
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: in the morning. He's putting other, you know, guys to

668
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: work at Evan Company. Evan if you read the piece

669
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com slash handsas or nfl dot com

670
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: slash end around Evan. I asked him if he could,

671
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: because I always feel like the team is good, So

672
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: let me get the big fish in here to really

673
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 1: look at each positional group and give an honest take,

674
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: as I said before, an unvarnished take on the rosters

675
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: and uh and yesterday morning he agreed to do it immediately,

676
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: because that's what the big fish does. And then he

677
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, when do you need this by I

678
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: think he was probably expecting week, ten days a month.

679
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you know, closed business. Yeah, well

680
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: not exactly that either, but uh, check out at Evan

681
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: Silva wrote a World senior editor and he will be

682
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: on the pod uh soon to talk about the draft,

683
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: probably right after the draft. Takes on your gray beards,

684
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: basically Rhoda World like Yes, and that's what I was

685
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: looking for and he nailed it. So anyway, I went

686
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: through all the available free agents and put together most

687
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: of a roster with backups, and uh really tried to

688
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: to build out a real team that I thought could compete.

689
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, since this is a San Diego based team.

690
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: We moved the Grave years from St. Louis last year

691
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: to represent the UM the football fans. I got banged

692
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: in San Diego. Uh, if this team was in the

693
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: a f C West, how would they do? And you know, Greg,

694
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: can I see this flirting with five? Absolutely can. So

695
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: let's get into it and you tell me what you think, Colleen,

696
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: you tell me what you think. We'll start at the

697
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: quarterback position. And this just shows the type of owner

698
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: I am. Colin Kaepernick, you can come on my team. Uh.

699
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: It is gonna be an open competition with Jay Cutler.

700
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell everybody it's an open competition. But Cutler

701
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: will get a lot of the first team reps. Uh,

702
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: in UH throughout the summer conditioning programs and UH into

703
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: training camp. But we got Cutler and Kaepernick in a

704
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: in a quarterback competition, and then I just brought the

705
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: sanchiz Mark Sanchez on board, just you know, because you

706
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: know why why's got just the Super Bowl? Okay that

707
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: just because he can be like the ambassador too that

708
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: goes around and talk to people you get you could

709
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: bring maybe eventually into the front office. Just I just

710
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: personally like Mark Sanchez. I always thought he seemed like

711
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: a nice guy. So come onto the graveyards on all

712
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: the billboards. Well you say, you say um during your

713
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: fake O t s, you'll say things like j and

714
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: Colin are first and foremost competitive football players. I think

715
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: one of the questions with Jay is is that competitive

716
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: fire burning and um, so I like, I like Kaepernick's

717
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: chances if you truly give him a chance to UH

718
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: to wind up being your opening day starting Silva's take

719
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: was at Kaepernick has the highest ceiling, and then he

720
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: buried Cutler UH and pointed out rightly that he had

721
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: a career low in yards per attempt six point two

722
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: last year in Miami, and Evan said Connie that he

723
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: would take Johnny Manziel over all of my Johnny Manel

724
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: So how do you feel about that? As a GM?

725
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting. I don't know if I'm

726
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: all in on the Manzell comeback slash recovery slash. I've

727
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: seen the white or I think he's saying all the

728
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: right things. But I need Johnny to go to the

729
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: CFL for a year, so I think he would be

730
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: a good backup or third stringer. You want to start

731
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: selling tickets, you want to put me in the seats,

732
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: you want to get your headlines into the San Diego papers.

733
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: Who you know, they feel scorned from professional football right now,

734
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to do some work to get

735
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: them back. I just hope you have the coaching staff

736
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: that can handle these guys. Well the good it's a

737
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: good point. I mean they need working on that. We're

738
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: working on the staff. Probably a bunch of Ryan brothers

739
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: is perfect. I can work that out for you. Yeah,

740
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: that's true. Mark and Rex guaranteed best friends. By the

741
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: end of the question, I am looking forward to their

742
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: friendship resulting in Rex joining our podcast in a full

743
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: time capacity. No, well, that would be great too. And

744
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: then on that podcast and Mark will never listen to this,

745
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: but if he, if he does, then he'll know on

746
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: that podcast we're gonna play for Rex all of the

747
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: things Mark said about him during the two thousand thirteen

748
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: Moving on, So the quarterback group, you guys okay with it?

749
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: I know it's not great, but again, this is the

750
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: best of what's left. I think. I think you have

751
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: guys that would I would take Kaepernick and Cutler over

752
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: what the Bills have right now and some other teams. Okay,

753
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: and I'll take that running back. I have three, a

754
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: trio of thirty something backs. Uh, speaking of putting meat

755
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: in the seats. Adrian Peterson, welcome to the Graybeards for

756
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: the first time. He'll be my sled dog. I also

00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: have DeMarco Murray coming off a down year, thirty years old,

758
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: but was very good in and then my scat back

759
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: is Darren Sprawles coming off in a c L. He's

760
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty five. No, that's I don't like that.

761
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls is gonna be thirty five there, so he's

762
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: my change it up guy. I don't know, Colleen, what

763
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: do you think? Is this a little bit? Uh? It's Dicey.

764
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: It's Marco Murray is the youngest running back you have

765
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: um on the roster. But Darren Sprawls I feel like

766
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: was always underrated. So when he comes back from this

767
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: a c L tear, he's going to show everybody what

768
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: they have been missing. Like that. Not a lot of

769
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: versatility here. It's like if Peterson or Murray in the game,

770
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: it's like they're running. If Sprawls in the game, they're passing.

771
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: I think West would be happy, is because he's still

772
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: is very excited about Peterson's potential to have maybe another year.

773
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: Evan Silva down on Peterson his his take on this.

774
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Peterson remains a capable to down banger, but his age,

775
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: lack of passing game usefulness, and declining durability slash explosiveness

776
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: leave him jobless. Uh. And then he takes a shot

777
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: at my team, Evan. Uh and neverthe the less, the

778
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: short term offensive foundation of the Graybeards, whose aerial attack

779
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: is certain to be abysmal. Alright, calm down there, you

780
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: know what, though, he's being fair. He's being fair. That's

781
00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: what I asked for, unvarnished at fullback, no brainer. I mean,

782
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: he's been on the team three or four years now.

783
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: John Cohen's there. As long as John CON's alive and

784
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: not under contract, he will be a grave here. You

785
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: mentioned this team might be in the f C West.

786
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: This actually resembles a team I think John Gruden would

787
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: like to put together. It's very fair. This is a

788
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: very n I guess two thousand TENNISH team at wide receiver,

789
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: and I will publicly announced, um, I have some misgivings

790
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: and concerns about this unit just because of some scheme issues.

791
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: I have Michael Floyd, um my youngest wide receiver of

792
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: the group. Not the youngest, excuse me, but he's twenty

793
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: eight years old. He's gonna be on the outside. And

794
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: then I have a trio of slot guys, really Decker,

795
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna push to the outside Eric Decker coming

796
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: off down here in Tennessee. And then I have Jordan

797
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: Matthews and Jeremy Macklin. Uh, Colleen, I know you like

798
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin right hey, and Jordan Matthews, two former eagals there.

799
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: This was my favorite Silva take out of You can

800
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: read this one because it hurt me a little bit.

801
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: He said, you have a contested catcher, a contested catch

802
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: receiver who doesn't win contested catches and Floyd to declining

803
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: slot receivers in Decker and Macklin and a third guy

804
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: Matthew with bad knees whose inconsistency frustrates coaches. This is

805
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: a quote unquote limited didn't feel necessary, but again I

806
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: asked for honesty. Yeah, I think it's I don't think

807
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: it's a great pairing because the running backs you don't

808
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of verse Matthews. I like, Matthew should

809
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: be on a team. That's a good that's a smart signing.

810
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if combining you know, these receivers with

811
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: Cutler and Kaepernick, like, I feel like those quarterbacks kind

812
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: of need their receivers to get obviously open, not a

813
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: lot of anticipation. And yeah, I don't know. And Greg

814
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: did offer a hand to me when I was putting

815
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: us together yesterday, and and at first he he blanched

816
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: when he saw my wide receiver and said, well Floyd especially,

817
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: I was like, well, let's let's check it out. Let's

818
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: give up the ghost on floor. I get it. But

819
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: then I was like, let's go check out who you

820
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: can play on the outside. That's left, and it's like,

821
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: unless you're in love with Marcus Wheaton, uh, there really

822
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: is nothing out there quick. Yeah. Yeah, So it's a

823
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: tough position group to fill. Yeah, tight end, Uh we

824
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: got you said you're you're like an eight wins and

825
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: this is one of the worst gray beards far. I'm

826
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: telling you, we're gonna finish strong at tight end. Antonio

827
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: Gates and Julius Thomas. Gates were kind of sneaking in there.

828
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 1: He'll probably end up on the Chargers for one more year,

829
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: but he gives me a guy in the red zone

830
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: that knows how to play the game. Antonio Gates just

831
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: gets open. Greg Julius Thomas used to get open. Gates

832
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: is my favorite player on your team. And he's the

833
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: oldest and he's probably the only one that's actually going

834
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: to be on a team, and he's going to fill

835
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: the seats in San Diego. That's who you want love.

836
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: Antonio might be you might be the first guy to

837
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: go into the Hall of Fame with a gray beard's

838
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: helmet because he's loyal. I did not even think of that.

839
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: He's going. He's going on the media guide right on

840
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: the cover. I was I was there for the last,

841
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: the last game and professional football game in San Diego,

842
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: and they were going crazy for Antonio Gates anticipating him

843
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: breaking the all time touchdown. He brings the people out.

844
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: We have a lot of problems on the offensive, Oh

845
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: my god. I mean, and you have to understand this

846
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: is why this exercise is extremely difficult, because I would

847
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: say seventy percent of the teams in the NFL have

848
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: crummy offensive lines lines, so you can only imagine what's

849
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: going on on the free agent pile. So I have

850
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: a former number two overall pick Greg Robinson on the

851
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: blind side, Luke jokel the former number two overall pick

852
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: uh with the Jaguars at guard? What value to get

853
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: those ticket put those tires together, Luke Bowanko? Is it

854
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: the pivot point? Uh? Bowenko definitely. I first mentioned in

855
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: this Jire Evans thirty four years old at guard? Uh

856
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: and Uh Austin Howard Yeah, okay, right tackle? Uh? He

857
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: would handle that side. Uh. Silva called it a mishmash

858
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: of a historic draft bus a former sixth rounder and

859
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: too late career veterans. You know what, They'll all have

860
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: chips on their shoulder, A lot of chips whole bag

861
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: of chips, tons of chips. Yeah, you're gonna struggle to

862
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: score double digit points. I'm not seeing the late winds.

863
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: I don't care how good the defense. All right, so

864
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: let's move on to the defense. And this is where

865
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna make our money. Uh edge. We got Junior Gallet,

866
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: Connor Barwin, Cony Eally and Robbie Robert Air's. These are

867
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: guys that UM still can play, maybe not at their

868
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: peak anymore. Galets a bit of a reclamation project, but

869
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: even Evan Silva said, there's nothing dominant here. But these

870
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: are four capable, capable guys to work in rotation. Yeah,

871
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: as long as you have a rotation, you're good. Get

872
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: some fresh legs going, especially for the groin known as

873
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: a glue guy, one of the good guys in the

874
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: NFL leader, great locker room guy, really good for the community. Yeah,

875
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: great community guy. Almost makes up for Gallette, who is

876
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: still having an NFL career despite one of um the

877
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: worst off the field records in the last twenty years.

878
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: And I wrote that I did when I was building

879
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: this roster. When I began building a roster, I wanted

880
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: at least one guy who was tazed on spring break

881
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: and I got him in Glett, So I felt good

882
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: with that signing. The defensive line, we've got some guys

883
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: are gonna do some dirty work, some grunts. They're gonna

884
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 1: push the pocket and they're gonna stuff that run. Benny Logan,

885
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins, Nick Fairley, and we hope Nick is gonna

886
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: be okay. His hard condition ended his Saints career, but

887
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: he still wants to play and come on down to

888
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: San Diego and live the good life. Nick. Yeah, I'm

889
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: what is your medical staff? I mean they're just they

890
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: okayed it that we can compete with this front seven. Yeah, yeah,

891
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: you know what. The defensive line is definitely the strength

892
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: of the team so far. That that's a good that's

893
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: a good three group. Inside linebacker, we got some name

894
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: brands here, Navarro Bowman still on the right side of thirty,

895
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: just barely. Brian Cushing, Uh, you know, we got to

896
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: keep him out of Ivan Drago's medicine cabinet. But uh,

897
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be okay there. And then Derek Johnson.

898
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: Total glue guys. They're glue guys holding this defense together. Uh,

899
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 1: there you go. Maybe Cushing we'll we'll have an amazing

900
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: year for you. Maybe maybe we'll give him access to

901
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: that cabinet. Maybe I was gonna say this thing could

902
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: use some some help cornerback. A nice group here, but

903
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: Shot Brelan, who were very lucky, is still out there.

904
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: D R C who's got speaking of chips on their shoulder,

905
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: very bad last season with New York. He wants to

906
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: re establish that he is a true UH cornerback in

907
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: this league. Pac Man. We got the right coaching staff

908
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: in place to make sure he stays under control. And

909
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: he's been doing it for years. Terence Newman thirty nine

910
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 1: years young. We're gonna throw him a big forty birthday party.

911
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a blowout. Remember when Jarra threw himself

912
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: was it himself seventy fifth birthday party or something? It

913
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: was like a ten million dollar is when he got

914
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame and we heard it fifteen

915
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: million dollars, huge party, lots of crazy stuff. Playing as

916
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: a defensive back in the NFL at age forty, We're

917
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna blow that party away. No budget. And I brought

918
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: Rebus on mostly to humble him, just to keep him

919
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: at the bottom of our draft chart. Money is no

920
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: option for you guys. Can I come work? Can I

921
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: be on the staff here? Well, think about it. I'm

922
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be doling out massive contracts, so I'm gonna

923
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of cash. Unlike Drew Brees, who's has

924
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: cash flow issues right now, I have no nothing like that.

925
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: This is all fake. Uh, safety listen, Greg, We're a

926
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: progressive group. We got Eric Read join ay Colin Kaepernick

927
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: on the same team. Oh my god. And whatever comes

928
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: to that. We stand with our players. They're greedy better well,

929
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it could be controversial. I could lose

930
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: some sponsors. But Kenny Vaccaro better get a real job.

931
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: Give me a break, he will. It's a good safety group,

932
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: and Silva suggested Trey Boston, Kenny Vacaro, Eric Read and

933
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Trey Boston. That is that would be better than a

934
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: large swath I think of safety groups in the NFL.

935
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: That's a nice Yeah. Gray Beards benefited from the soft

936
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: market at safety for whatever reason. Uh. Brad Wing, welcome

937
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: to the Gray Beards. You're a punter, And yes, I

938
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: was very happy that this worked out. Sea Bass still

939
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: on the market. It's a blessing. What about Marquete King. Uh.

940
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: I did not add King for the specific reason that, uh,

941
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: he's not really a fit. First of all, he's a

942
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: poor culture fit for us to punter picking up personal fouls. Well,

943
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, I know we have Junior go At and

944
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: Pactman and all that. But I'm with the John Gruden

945
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: camp on this, you know, Mark, No, the real reason

946
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: is he doesn't fit the model. He's young, he's productive,

947
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: he exited, he exited an unusual circumstances. He'll get gobbled up.

948
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: He's not a true gray beard. So I didn't want

949
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: to cheat the system. But I mean, is Kenny macaro

950
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: and Eric read those guys are in their mid twenties, right, Yeah,

951
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I think that just the King's

952
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: situation didn't sit right with me as a cut. Yeah,

953
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: it was a matter of timing. I like some of

954
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: the logos. Some of the listeners suggested. One guy appears

955
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: to be an Ernest Hemingway picture with like a baseball

956
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: head on. Yeah. We did a great job, are the

957
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 1: listeners and the readers offering some graybeards logos? So we're

958
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: the grim Reaper one that George Clawsenten was really good. Yeah,

959
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: really good work by everybody. So there you go. The

960
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: Graybeards offense, problematic defense, the rock with glue guys and

961
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: and players with a lot to prove, and then a

962
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: really nice special teams unit led by a resurgent Sea

963
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: Bass is gonna win some games, and I think we're

964
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: cruising right into an easy seven and nine maybe eight.

965
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: Are you going to do one give away at night? Yeah? Really,

966
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean better than the Yeah that they're about the

967
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: same as the Dick McPherson. Well, the offense is so bad,

968
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to score any points. So

969
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: we're winning week one. Your defense is solid, but you're

970
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to win like six to nothing in

971
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: some of these games. Do you guys have cheerleaders? Uh,

972
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: we haven't figured out some of those elements, but those

973
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: would be all out of work cheerleaders as well. So

974
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm very interested in, like, do you want to handle

975
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: that promotions department? You want to come on board? I

976
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: can give you a fake salary, sure, two million dollars.

977
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: That's great, all right, Colleen is going to handle cheerleader

978
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: hiring at all an unlimited vacation vacation right now. There

Speaker 1: come in, Maybe I'll maybe I'll swing by for a minute.

984
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,440

985
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: out the logistic, okay, and we'll hopefully have some type

986
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,319
