Okay, okay, 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: Let's start with a franchise formally known as the Oakland Raiders, 50 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: previously of that known as Los Angeles Raiders, and before 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: that they were the Oakland Raiders, but they're not in 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders, and they have had a lot of 53 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: turnal turmoil and turn over in the front office. And 54 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: last week on Friday, something really jumped out to me 55 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders. I was lucky in my start of this career. 56 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: Before when I worked on terrestrial radio, I got to 57 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: be around them a lot and around these parts. For 58 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: a while, people thought I was a hater. Let me 59 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: just say this. I I have had more interaction with 60 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: Mark Davis than any other owner in the NFL, and 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: I always enjoyed him. I thought he was pretty cool, 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: very down to earth. He's pretty unique, you know. I 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: mean he's not He's probably not your normal NFL owner. 64 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: But in terms of communicating with was always very easy. Now, 65 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: I did not always see eye to eye with the organization, 66 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: a big reason that I owe them a big thank 67 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: you because without them, who knows if my podcast Dreaming 68 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: Career would be where it's at. When I was on 69 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Terrestrial Radio, I was associated with them. I did their 70 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: post game stuff and we had a breakup. Well, they 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: divorced me because they didn't like the way I talked 72 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: about their team and listen, I from their under perspective, 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: I completely understand. But here was the thing that I 74 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: learned when I was in that role. Their team was 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: not like a lot of unfit a lot of other 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: NFL teams that had people coming and going. I mean, 77 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: they fire a lot of people like any NFL team, 78 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: But their core people in the organization had been their 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: thirty forty some fifty years. But the people that I 80 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: dealt with on the business side, who were also Mark 81 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: Davis's right hand men, were had been there for multiple decades, 82 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: had started at the lowest rung in the organization. They 83 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: were just very loyal to the Raiders, and they'd seen 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: it all right, the highs of Jon Gruden, the lowe's 85 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: of Al Davis. Then the kind of the turnaround of 86 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: the franchise, the move of the franchise. It's not normal, 87 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: but also it has it's perks of being kind of 88 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: a cool unique. It has a collegiate feel. I as 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: a lover of sport and as a lover of the NFL, 90 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the power of the brand. But the one 91 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: thing with Mark Davis, and I've said this over and 92 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: over and over again, the league wants him out. The 93 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: league wants to get a rich owner to run that franchise, 94 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: just like the Washington Football team Commanders Commanders. The difference, though, 95 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: is Dan Snyder financially has no issues, self made billionaire, 96 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: has a ton of cash. Mark Davis never had a 97 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: job until his dad passed away and he took over 98 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: the team. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. I 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: even think he's got on record and said that. So 100 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: Dan Snyder and him are completely different. You know, the 101 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: way they're viewed in the league in terms of their 102 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: capabilities of money and finances for the league, but I 103 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: think they're viewed very similarly, as we want to remove 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: these guys, but as we've seen in other sport leagues, 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: it's very very difficult to remove someone, very difficult. And 106 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: these are not public companies you can like, you know, 107 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: it's very hard even though they are public, but they're 108 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: privately owned. We all know it's complicated. Well, on Friday, 109 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders had a press release of relieving the duties 110 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: of Dan Van Trelli, who became the president last year 111 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: after the Raiders fired the former president who had been 112 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: with the Raiders for like thirty years, Mark Badane, who 113 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: I dealt with and is loyal of a Raider as 114 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: anyone not with the last named Davis loved the Raiders 115 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: eight braid and sleeped it like it was his life. 116 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: So when that happened, it was a big deal. But 117 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: then we later found out that he screwed up some 118 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: money and overpaid Oakland millions of dollars. And the Raiders 119 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: are not the Giants, the Eagles, the Cowboys. They can 120 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: handle that, like every petty to them is a big deal, 121 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: even with this lucrative move. Well, then on Friday, when 122 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: they did the press release of Van TRELLI has been fired, well, 123 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: have no further comment. That is not normal because even 124 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: when Mark Badane was fired by Mark Davis, he had 125 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: a long written statement thanking him and wished him the best, 126 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: even though that he had lost him a ton of money. 127 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: Because Mark Davis and the Raiders are very close to 128 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: the people that have been there a long time. In 129 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: their organization, it's it's like a mom and pop shop, 130 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: but a billion dollar operation. So when he did that, 131 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: my my antenna and red flags went off. I went up, 132 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: something is up, started texting around, and then a couple 133 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: of hours later it comes out that the vice president 134 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: or the president that had been relieved of his duties 135 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: had turned Mark Davison for dealing with women inappropriately and 136 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: had gone to the league office. And then I started 137 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: texting around and a couple of people said, do you 138 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: think it's a coincidence that the NFL, who was run 139 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: by people from the northeast, the northeast New York City 140 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: elites Roger Goodell and his crew. When Roger Goodell vacations, 141 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: he goes to Augusta, that's Augusta National, that's where he's 142 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: a member and plays golf. Probably heads down to Florida 143 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: or the Bahamas. People in the Northeast stay on the 144 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: East Coast, just like people the West coast. We gotta 145 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: say on the West coast or go to White that 146 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: we don't kind of cross pollinate. When I lived in Philadelphia, 147 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that had never been 148 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. I don't blame them. It's a long flight. 149 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: You can go to other places on the East Coast 150 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: and do that. Hell, you can get for the same distance. 151 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: I never made the trip, but I'm pretty sure from 152 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: New York City to England as New York City to 153 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles five hour flight, right, so I understand the 154 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: difference of mindsets. There were two separate cultures. Well, what 155 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: happened last week? The NFL came to Las Vegas and 156 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: they saw what And I'm not saying people from New 157 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: York or Philly or Boston or whatever, Washington have never 158 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: been to Vegas, but they just don't spend time like 159 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: we would. I literally could get in the car when 160 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: I scouted, I spent a ton of time in Vegas 161 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: because you could drive five hours from l A, five 162 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: hours from Arizona, you know, six and a half hours 163 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: from where I lived in Fresno. It was very easy 164 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: to get there driving. I can hop in a plane 165 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: right now. It's forty five minute flight. And one thing 166 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: you notice when you're there, it is a worldwide cash cow. 167 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: All you think when you're in Las Vegas is churching, churching, chuching. Well, 168 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell and his crew spent the week in Vegas. 169 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: What do you think they left realizing this has to 170 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: be the most underutilized market of all of our markets, 171 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: and we're having success here. This thing should be one 172 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: of our stolewart brands. Las Vegas Raiders should be you 173 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: know in the next point. These businessmen are always looking forward, 174 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: not backwards. Why can't this be one of our cash 175 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: cow brands? And we don't think Mark Davis has the 176 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: capabilities because when I was around the Raiders, they always 177 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: took a lot of ship and rightfully so, of not 178 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: having any money and more more than that, not being 179 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: able to generate any money because and they were in 180 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley in northern California, where we have an unlimited 181 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: amount of money for the rich people, and the forty 182 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: niners have no problem. Joe Lacob seven million dollars in 183 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: revenu a year at chasing him. The Giants are one 184 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: of the biggest revenue generating teams in all of Major 185 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: League Baseball. This is an area on the West Coast, 186 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: also like Vegas, where cash flows and there are major corporations. 187 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: But Vegas or I mean the Raiders at the time, 188 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: could never figure it out. And now I think Roger 189 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Goodell and his people see, well, we got ourselves an 190 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: underutilized asset. And they have been thinking this for a while. 191 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: But once they laid boots on the ground and kind 192 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: of feel the experience, they know they got a problem. Now. Listen, 193 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: I he can't make this up. But one thing I 194 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: had heard about this president that they had just fired. 195 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: He's just cutthroat as it gets. And he's no dummy. 196 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: He knows. Now, Mark Davis, there would have to be 197 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: substantial stuff there for them to get an oust. What 198 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: if there was. What if this president realized if I 199 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: go to Roger and I cut a deal, If this guy, 200 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: who I've heard is a you know, a very cutthroat lawyer, 201 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: turns out in the future to be a lawyer for 202 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: the NFL, if they are able to get rid of 203 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Mark Davis with this, you'll know that a deal was 204 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: cut behind the scene. I got dirt on Mark Davis. 205 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: I'll come to you. You make me a maid man, 206 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: and I'll give you the dirt to be able to 207 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: remove him. But he's gonna fire me, but you're gonna 208 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: take care of me. Maybe make me one of your 209 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: lead counsels with the NFL. Win win for everybody. I 210 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: think Mark Davis, listen, this is not good because they 211 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: have been looking for a reason. Think about Dan Snyder. 212 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: But the difference with Dan Snyder. Dan Snyder is a 213 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: self made billionaire. Dan Snyder created all his wealth. Dan 214 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Snyder created all the transactions. Mark Davis didn't create anything. 215 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: His dad wouldn't even let him be a part of 216 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: the team when his dad was alive. The only time 217 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: he got his to be in control, his dad had 218 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: to die. He was not They would fly home when 219 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: his dad was alive, and he wasn't allowed to be 220 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: on the flight. His own dad didn't really like him, 221 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: which I feel bad, like it was a toxic relationship. 222 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: But to this notion that the league will do anything 223 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: and everything to get Mark Davis out of there, because 224 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: here's the thing of all these teams that are becoming 225 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: available the Denver Broncos if they ever could get the 226 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: Commanders on the open market. We saw how much Carol 227 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: Line went for a couple of years. Do you understand 228 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: how much the Las Vegas Raiders would go from the 229 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: open market. They would go for more than the Denver Broncos. 230 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: Tax haven, no state income tax. The amount of money 231 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: that comes there, the amount of money you have in 232 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: the corporations around you. It is a sleeping giant. The 233 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: stadium from I've never been there, but from whatever I've 234 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: been told, it is incredible. Uh, that place is made 235 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: for football gambling, literally was made for the sport of football. 236 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: So I would say this that I don't know, I'm 237 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: not you know, I could be a little bit of 238 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist, but it cannot be a coincidence. Then 239 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: a week after the draft went there and Roger Goodell 240 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: and his and his crew got to be just kind 241 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: of really feel Vegas and realize, God, we gotta do something. 242 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: And then the story comes out a week later and 243 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: as president gets fired after his president who had been 244 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: with the Davis family for decades, who this guy had 245 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: created that Mark Davis made this guy the president, and 246 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: they takes him down. I don't know, man, It's not 247 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: a good sign for Mark Davis. They're coming after him. 248 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: They've been coming after Dan Snyder forever, and he's fought 249 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: him off. He's more capable. As crazy as that sounds, 250 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: then Mark, I would say, Mark's in trouble. Uh the 251 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: they're not even hiding anymore. Then they're coming for him. 252 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: The playoffs are here.

Another story that I saw today 283 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: that I just think it's kind of been brewing is 284 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: part of drafting Kenney Pickett. And I know Steeler fans 285 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: have been on me, like you don't want Canny Pickett. Listen, 286 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm not emotional about this stuff. I just don't really 287 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: like weak arm quarterbacks. That's that's not really Mac Jones, 288 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, even Dak Prescott, like those aren't my style. 289 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: I like bigger arm guys. That doesn't mean I didn't 290 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, but those guys are outliers. 291 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: But most of the type quarterbacks I'm gonna like are 292 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: gonna be big arm guys. I like guys like Justin Herbert, 293 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: I like guys like Josh Allen, and honestly, I I 294 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: lean even when I fail with the bigger arm guys. 295 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: So Kenny Pickett is just not my style. But part 296 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: of drafting a ready made Mac Jones type player is 297 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: to start him immediately, because part of taking a huge 298 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: swing on a Justin Fields on a Trey Lance on 299 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: a Josh Allen is the next decade. I am trying 300 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: to hit a Grand Slam walk off in the World 301 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: Series and get one of the best quarterbacks in the league. 302 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: When you draft Mac Jones or you draft Kenny Pickett, 303 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: He's not gonna get that much better. You're kind of 304 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: getting a ready made player. So part of drafting a 305 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: ready made player really high use him. I'll give the 306 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: Patriots a lot of credit. Last year, I would not 307 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: have drafted mac Jones, even though obviously mac Jones is 308 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: better than anything they had. So it worked out in 309 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: the short term, but big picture, I don't ever see 310 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: him being a top ten quarterback, and I can't take 311 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round that I don't believe 312 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: has the upside to be a top ten quarterback. Now, Listen, 313 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: I could be wrong. Maybe Belichick would argue with me. 314 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: Maybe Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert would argue with me. Obviously, 315 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: those guys are really accomplished, you know, at their jobs. Now, 316 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: I would say this to both guys beside Brady and 317 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: beside Roethlisberger, you know. I mean, Belichick went with Cam 318 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: Newton two years ago, so it's not like he really 319 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: had a pivot. Now. In fairness to Belichick, he was 320 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: forced to trade Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy Garoppolo was supposed to 321 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: be a Steve Young and as we've learned, he's not 322 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: Steve Young not really even close, but he clearly would 323 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: have been an upgrade and they wouldn't have to go 324 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: through the Cam Newton in two thousand twenty, and it 325 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: would have been an easy transition. But Tom was still 326 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: playing well. They were stuck the Steelers, as I've said 327 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: over and over beside Roethlisberg, like I've seen them draft quarterbacks, 328 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: they haven't even been remotely close. Dob stinks Mason Rudolph 329 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: will get cut this year well, signing ms dr Whisky 330 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: and we've seen his contract. It's not that much. It's 331 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: a backup level contract. We also saw Mr r Whisky play. 332 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: He's averages the day is long. Good guy tries harbor athletic, 333 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: big arm, not very accurate. I don't trust to make 334 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: basic throws. So Kenny Pickett, Now the difference between Mitch 335 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: Mitch can operate as a backup Cam Newton. You know, 336 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: it was a tough spot when, uh, when they drafted 337 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Mitch, who cares like he's not a big 338 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: enough personality part of Cam had been the previous year starter. 339 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: You had to get him out of there so it 340 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: could be max team. You don't have to do that here, 341 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: Mitch can stay on the team, But I see no. 342 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: If I was a betting man, I would bet on 343 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett starting Week one because one of the things 344 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickenhank has hat on is being an accurate quarterback. 345 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: One of the things Ms Robisky struggled with was being 346 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: an accurate quarterback. So the reason you draft Mac Jones 347 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett is because of their accuracy. Right. The reason 348 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: you can quote unquote overpay Kirk Cousins is his accuracy. 349 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: It's my issue with Dak Like I remember when Dac 350 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 1: was a pinpoint guy, and then I watched him like 351 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: the last month of the season in the playoff game. 352 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: It's like, where's his pinpoint accuracy? He feels a little off, 353 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: Like when you don't have a big time arm and 354 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna be Philip Rivers, you know in the Peyton Manning. 355 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: Obviously those guys are the best version, but you gotta 356 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: be pinpoint accurate because you're not gonna be some explosive 357 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: down the field thrower. So I I think that Kenny 358 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: Pickett hasn't even been on the field yet. I will 359 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: be stunned if he's not the starter. One story that 360 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: broke today from rap sheet. Uh, and I saw some 361 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: other people in the in the media realm, was that 362 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman is in toxic with Amazon. Obviously, Amazon has 363 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: the Thursday Night Football package starting week two. I think 364 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: they got sixteen games or whatever all season long. And 365 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: I've said over and over if you don't have Amazon 366 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: Prime in two thousand twenty two, that's you problem. Like 367 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: you are, I'm sorry, a little archaic. Like every single 368 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: human I know has Amazon. They literally get things delivered 369 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: to their house and through that, if you get Amazon Prime, 370 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: you get free delivery. And what does that mean? You 371 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: get access to Amazon Prime their streaming service, which can 372 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: be a little hit or miss. But they got the 373 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: NFL now, so if you're an NFL fan and you 374 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: want to watch Thursday Night football, you know, get the 375 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: get Amazon Prime again. Most people have it. Here's the 376 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: other thing, Well, smart TVs. I don't know that many 377 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: people that don't have smart TVs, well I don't have 378 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: a smart TV. They're not that expensive. Even in the 379 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: time of inflation. You don't innerrated part about t vs. 380 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: In this crazy time of everything's been inflation, their prices 381 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: have stayed pretty low. Like you can get Hell, you 382 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: can get like a TV for in or two thousand 383 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 1: dollars and hell, that's you don't even need to get 384 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: that big of a t you get a fort TV 385 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: for five go to Target. But one thing, And I 386 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: say this all the time just because you're a big name, 387 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: And this is my issue with Drew Brees. When Drew 388 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: Brees was signed with NBC, like, Drew Brees is a 389 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: fantastic guy. Everything we've ever seen about Drew Brees incredible 390 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: human being and one thing obviously on the field, he 391 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: was a fantastic quarterback. But in all my years of 392 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: following the NFL and just watching star players talk and communicate, 393 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: I had never seen Drew Brees and and come away thinking, like, 394 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, this guy met for TV, Drew Brees, he'll 395 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: really move the needle. Who's the best former athlete in 396 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: the history of television. It's Charles Barkley. Why because he 397 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: does not give a ship and part of anyone that's 398 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: good at their job. When you talk for a living, 399 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: you gotta say some off the wall things. You have 400 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: to be interesting. And when I say off the wall, 401 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: you just can't worry about what other people think. Why 402 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: do so many big Jay's the journalists, the writers, they're 403 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: not good on television because they're too afraid of offending anyone. 404 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: They're consumed with the reaction on Twitter. Well anyone that's 405 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: good at talking. I mean, look at Coward. You think 406 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: he gives a shit about Twitter? Of course not. You know, 407 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: that's Howard Stern literally made his career by offending people. 408 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: Now he's a completely different human. But when he created 409 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: all his wealth and he became so big time, it 410 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: was because you never knew what he was gonna say. 411 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: People hated him, people loved him. And I mean Charles Barkley, 412 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: to me, the most famous thing he's ever said in 413 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: like his twenty years that I've been watching him on 414 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: television is making fun of fat women at San Antonio. 415 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: Because forever San Antonio was, you know, basically the Patriots. 416 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: They were always going to the you know, the NBA uh, 417 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals and the NBA finals, and he 418 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: was talking about San Antonio lot and forever he talked 419 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: about the big women in San Antonio. You think anyone 420 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: in their right mind would say that now and he 421 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: still says to this day, he does not care. He 422 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: is unafraid to quote unquote be canceled. I don't even 423 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: know if canceling really exists anymore. That's a Twitter thing. 424 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't really think it's a real life thing. But 425 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: here's a reality. Draymond Green has really separated himself because 426 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 1: he's not afraid to quote unquote offend anyone. Because no 427 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: matter what you say, in any walk of life, some 428 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: people are gonna be offended. You can't be consumed with 429 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: what other people are thinking about you if you honestly 430 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: have the opinion. And that's where I think Richard Sherman 431 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: and I saw him really closely when he was with 432 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: the Niners. He'll just say what he thinks and listen. 433 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: I would say that Richard Sherman, I think he's a 434 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: little older. And Draymond I actually don't think he's that controversial, 435 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: you know. I mean hearing him talk, I'm not even 436 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: acting like he's gonna be Charles or hell even Draymond. 437 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: But he will say what he thinks. And you see 438 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: so many of these guys that go into TV and 439 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: they say nothing, or they say what is gonna be? 440 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: You know kosher and work on Twitter. Tiny percentage of 441 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: people are on there say what us normal people talk 442 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: about in society, you know, talk like a normal person, 443 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: and I think Richard is gonna be honestly, I think 444 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: he's under utilizing his skills. Same with Draymond. I think 445 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: both guys could be fantastic g MS. I think both 446 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: of them easily would be fantastic some gms, But you 447 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: get to control your own destiny much more in this space. 448 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: When you talk for a living as a GM, you 449 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: are predicated on a guy's getting injured, where you draft 450 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: who your coaches. So I don't blame anyone for not 451 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: wanting to be a GM, though both those two guys 452 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: don't wouldn't have to start as like an area scout. 453 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: You know that they would jump the line, and rightfully so. 454 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: But if they choose, and obviously Draymond is kind of 455 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: a multipurpose guy right now for the volume, and I 456 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: think Richard is slowly gonna become that. Though his career 457 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: like he might not play football again, even though I 458 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: saw it was reported that he's gonna leave his options open. 459 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: I think he's made for it, and it's it's he's 460 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: remembered by a lot of older people, I think for 461 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: the rivus thing right when he was screaming to skip 462 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: Skip Bayless. But honestly, he's one of the smartest players 463 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: I've ever heard speak. I've texted with him or DMed 464 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: with him about just different players that he's been all over. 465 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: He's been right. I mean, he he just knows his ship. 466 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: It's just like Draymond. He is a football junkie. And 467 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: I think sometimes these guys they go into it because 468 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: it's easy, and I don't think he ever got into football, 469 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: And same with Draymond, and like they wanted this realm 470 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: where they talk about it because it's easy, they actually 471 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: like it. They actually watch football in their free time. 472 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: Like if you follow Richard on social media, you know, 473 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: even this year when he was injured, he would just 474 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: be like tweeting about the Monday and football game. Like 475 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: same with Draymond, Like he just watches these NBA playoff games. 476 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: That's not normal. I mean, Julio Jones once said he 477 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: doesn't watch any football, and honestly, he's not alone. I 478 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: don't even blame him. Listen, if you don't want to 479 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: watch football, I don't blame him. But I just think 480 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: Richard is going to be fantastic. I think that's a really, 481 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: really good higher the irony is Tony Gonzalez, who's gonna 482 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: be part of it too. I don't know if he's 483 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: calling the game. I guess Kurk Herbs she's calling the game. 484 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: Maybe he's on the The crew with Richard is the 485 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez ext girlfriend Lawrence Sanchez. I I just fascinated 486 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: by the story is now dating Bezos yet they're still 487 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: really close. Uh. And when he got announced, I mean 488 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: he announced at the draft about the first Thursday night game, 489 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: which I think is Chiefs Chargers, and she was like 490 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: reposting it on instant story. And but just I'm always 491 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: fascinated with those relationships when you break up but you 492 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: still stay close and you run in these circles. Tony 493 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: hangs out with Bezos. Pretty cool, Uh, Pete Carroll and 494 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: I think the Seattle Seahawks sometimes. And I I have 495 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: this kind of rule in life. The louder you are 496 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: about like moral high horse stuff, bigger fraud, I think 497 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: you are. It's why I think so many, you know, 498 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: especially journalists, are the most outspoken people on Twitter about 499 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, moral stuff. I I think they got a 500 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: lot of skeletons in their closet. The louder you get 501 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: the more I read flag you um. And I also 502 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: think the louder you get in pro sports when you 503 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: try to justify a pick or this guy would have 504 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: got taken, you're kind of getting defensive. And usually why 505 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: does any of us get defensive, because we kind of 506 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: believe whatever the criticism is coming our way. And one 507 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: thing Pete Carroll said, I think he said this last 508 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: week or maybe during maybe they just had their rookie minicamp, 509 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: that Drew Lock would have been the first quarterback taken 510 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: in this year's draft, and in a vacuum. I don't 511 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: even think he's wrong. Drew Lock coming out of college, 512 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: which was three and a half years ago, more than 513 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: likely or probably well. The Steelers were looking for an 514 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: accurate player, so I don't necessarily know if they would 515 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: have taken Drew Lock, but he would have been in 516 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: the mix right there with Kenny Pickett to be the 517 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: first quarterback taking off the board. I don't disagree with him, 518 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: but he's saying this because he wants the fans and 519 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: he wants the outside to like truly believe that they 520 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: got some diamond in the rough. And here's the problem 521 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: with that. Pete is that was a long time ago. 522 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: Drew Lock is twenty five years old. He's now been 523 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: in the league for three years. So when you were 524 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: a second year player, like all the guys will talk 525 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: to O T A s that are going into the 526 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: second year, you can still hold your hat on where 527 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: they were drafted, how great their prospects were coming out 528 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: of college, how much upside they had. When a guy 529 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: has been in the league three or four years, you know, 530 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: I think that's a little more difficult now if you 531 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: wanted to justify Drew Lock, he was drafted in nineteen, 532 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: second round player, rookie year, whatever, Let's let's even give 533 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: him a pass. Second year, two thousand, twenty COVID crazy year, 534 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: weird year, give him a little bit of pass there. 535 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: How about his third year? His third season, and this 536 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: this was a second year in the Pat Shermer offense. 537 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: He could not beat out Teddy Bridgewater, who great guy, 538 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: budd He's Teddy two yards, teddytoo, Gloves is a lifetime backup. 539 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: He's not a very good quarterback when it comes to starting. 540 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: Drew Lock could not beat him out. And now Drew 541 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: Lock is gonna go to Pete Carroll an offense that listen, 542 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna try to run the ball, use 543 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: them in play action. But this notion that Drew Lock 544 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: is some untapped gym feels a little bit of a stretch, 545 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: and I think Pete and John and part of it 546 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: is anytime you trade Russell Wilson and I don't blame them, 547 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: just like I don't blame Russell Wilson. Ten years a 548 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: long time. You start aiding each other, you start seeing 549 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: just you just you just grow tired of each other, 550 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: and you're it's not like you're winning championships every year. 551 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: The one thing with Belichick and Brady why they could 552 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: just sustain over the long haul was because they were winning. 553 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: They were winning Super Bowls and going to championship games 554 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: and losing in Super Bowls. Seattle is getting bounced in 555 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: the first round. I mean two years ago they lost 556 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: at home to the Ramps and Wolford and Jared Goff. 557 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: So they weren't having as much success as some of 558 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: these other teams, and eventually it just came to a 559 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: head and they had to get a divorce, which I understand, 560 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: But as I've said over and over, when you trade 561 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback who was the greatest player in the history 562 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: of your franchise. And more you know, more likely than 563 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: not is gonna have a couple of good years in Denver. 564 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna lose the transaction, and deep down they know it, 565 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: so they have to keep saying things like he would 566 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 1: have been the number You know, he would have been 567 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: the first quarterback in this draft. Who cares pete? He's 568 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: been in a league for three seasons. Like, you know, 569 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: if Deebo Samuel was in this draft, you would have 570 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: been the first wide receiver off the board. You know, 571 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: if I if I could put Nick Bosa in this draft, 572 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: you would have been the number one overall pick. Who 573 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: gives a ship this is This is based on guys 574 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: that were drafted years ago. And I think they're very 575 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: defensive right now because they know, I think Seattle is 576 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna be really, really bad. I mean, I think there's 577 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: a chance they win four or five games. It's going 578 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: to be a debacle, and in a weird way, they 579 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: know it now. Part of being a coach, part of 580 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: being an executive, part of being a general manager is 581 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, having false hope. Denial might be the wrong 582 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: way to put it, but you gotta stay positive, so 583 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame them for putting on their 584 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: positive blinders, but it's gonna be a debacle. And there's 585 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: just no way once the season goes in your two 586 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: and six, or your three and six, or your seven, 587 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: your season finishes seven and ten, that you can justify 588 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: this to people, especially if Russell and the Broncos are 589 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: in the play offs. You know, and when I say 590 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: justified to people, make it look like you were right too, 591 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: Like it's okay you had to have a divorce. I 592 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: think we all acknowledge that. But you gotta stop trying 593 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: to defend the move. You just kind of gotta let 594 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: it be and take the earls as they come. O 595 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: t a s is right around the corner. And I 596 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: was always taught this in the league that second year 597 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: players take the biggest jump because if you think about 598 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: it this, first, you know, their rookie season, uh, you know, 599 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: they have their season ends, then they start training for 600 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: the Combine. Then the Combine happens, then they go to 601 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,959 Speaker 1: their Pro day, and then they take all the visits 602 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: and by the time they get drafted a week later 603 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: there in rookie mini camp, and then you got o 604 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: t as for forty five days. So by the time 605 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: they get to the summer, I mean, they just gotta 606 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: be wiped out. They're exhausted. Then the season starts, they're 607 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: trying to get playing time. They're trying to survive, you know, 608 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to get be a starter. And once they 609 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: become a starter or rotational player, they're just trying to 610 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: make plays, keep their head above water. A lot's going on, 611 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: and I don't you know forevery Justin Jefferson and Jamaar 612 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: Chase and Nick Bosa. Most guys are up and down 613 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: as rookies, which is understandable. Think about the first time 614 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: you ever get a job when you're young, right when 615 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: twenty four whatever hired out of college. It's intense, like 616 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: you're learning new things. You're you're around older people. There's 617 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: just a lot going on. You're just trying to figure 618 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: it out and buy a year in. If you've lasted 619 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: a year in your job, you become a lot more comfortable. 620 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: You know where to you know, you're just confident when 621 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: you walk into to the to the office in the morning, 622 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: or when you interact with clients or sales calls or whatever. 623 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: The longer you do something, the more confident and comfortable 624 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: you get, because through experience that's how you know. Improves 625 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: the wrong word, but just feel more capable in your 626 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: abilities and listen. The second year jump is a real 627 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: thing for the majority of players because you come into 628 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: O T A S. You are for all the teams 629 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: that have coaches that are returning. You know the scheme, 630 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: you know what's asked of you, and who knows you know. 631 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: It's so different than in college when guys graduate or 632 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: guys goes pros. A lot of guys that red shirted 633 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: become starters and that spring is kind of where they 634 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: establish themselves. Now, the difference between college and the pros 635 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: is in college, in spring practice they wear pads. In 636 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: the pros they do not because of the union and everything. 637 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: But you do, like it's probably not as crazy as 638 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: even it was five six years ago, but they're still 639 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: pretty high speed reps. You know, you can really separate 640 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: yourself and hone it in your craft. And then for 641 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,239 Speaker 1: the older guys like Iron Sharp and Iron so you 642 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 1: don't the one thing with football, I can go train, 643 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: do squats, do all this stuff with personal trainer, but 644 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: there's nothing like getting a live rep against my starting 645 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: cornerback if I'm a wide receiver, or getting alive just 646 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: pass rush rep if I'm a guard against my starting 647 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: defensive tackle right, or if I'm my quarterback repping with 648 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: my wide receivers against a seven on seven situation where 649 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: they are linebackers and defensive backs out there. It's it's 650 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: much more real than just throwing with me and a 651 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver somewhere in Los Angeles or Texas or Florida. 652 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: It is very important. And then for the programs with 653 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: new coaches, right, the Jags, the Giants, uh, you know, 654 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: you go around. I'm trying to think who else fired coaches, 655 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: and even I guess Tampa and you know Houston somewhat 656 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: have some carry over. But any coach with new coaches 657 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: or new coordinators, the Raiders, this is a time where 658 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: you put in the scheme, where you teach people the fundamentals. 659 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: You can't go to ap calculus until you learn algebra 660 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: in basic math right to know what to do in 661 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: November against cover two in third down situation in your offense, 662 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: you have to learn the basis of the offense you 663 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: know in May, in June, and then early on in 664 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: training camp because anytime once we get to training camp, 665 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: what do coaches always say, we reinstalled that first week, 666 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: just the basic elements of our offense or defense. So 667 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: as we grow, as camp goes on, before the season, 668 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: we re hit on all the basics. And for everyone 669 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: that plays for McVeigh or pay Place for Shanahan or 670 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, this is just getting back into the swing 671 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: of things. But if I'm playing for Josh McDaniels, or 672 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: I'm playing for Doug Peterson, or I'm playing for Brian 673 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: day Ball, I have to learn what they expect of 674 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: me one, just the expectations of when I say in 675 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: meetings at eight thirty can you roll in at eight 676 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: thirty one? Like are we on Tom Coughlin time? What 677 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: is the expectation of speed at practice? What is the 678 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: expectations in meetings? And listen, even if you do have 679 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: some of these carryover coaches, which a lot of the 680 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: league has, a lot of these coaches got new coach, 681 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, new assistant coaches. So what does my position 682 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: coach expect of me? Because listen, we're all humans. Not 683 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: every position coach is gonna be the same. Even if 684 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: I go from a tight end coach to a tight 685 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: end coach. That guy might teach something dramatically different. That 686 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: guy might be way more lax at a certain area 687 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: in a meeting where the other guy was a stiff 688 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: or vice versa. So I think this time is a 689 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: great learning tool. It's also a in a weird way, 690 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: a nice easy, relaxed environment relative to football. Uh, it's 691 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: usually three or four day weeks scouts included. You know, 692 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: it's more nine to five e and you're just kind 693 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: of feeling each other out. It is truly the onboarding 694 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: process for new coaches, for new players, for young players, 695 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: and then for the older veterans. It's about them honing 696 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: their skills so they can take it right in, do 697 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: the office, you know that summer break, maintain their level 698 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: of fitness, and then come back for training camp and 699 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: hit the ground running. But this is not just some 700 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: blow it off around time. But it's much more relaxed 701 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: than training camp. When training camp starts sun up till sundown, 702 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 1: eat brief sleep football. This is like you'll see teams 703 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: will go to local NHL games, local playoff games, will 704 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: be playing golf. It actually has a lot of team 705 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: bonding elements to it where you're spending time together. No 706 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: different with the front office and the coaches. I remember 707 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: when I was with the Eagles, we used to go 708 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: to baseball games during the week as a as a staff, 709 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: have some beers, play some games, funk around, and it's 710 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: a very good time to really get to know each 711 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: other because the other thing in football, whether it's the 712 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: scouting department, whether it's the coaching staff, and definitely the players, 713 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: there is just a ton of turnover every single year. 714 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: The majority of teams don't come back same scouts, same coaches, 715 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: same players. Most teams have some new coaches, some new executives, 716 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: and definitely some new players. You get to know each other, 717 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: and the better you can get to know each other, 718 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: the easier the season is, which is really what this 719 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: time is for for, you know, honing in the operation 720 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: so we can try to win games in the fall. 721 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the whole goal of this entire thing. 722 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm excited. O t as probably get going 723 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: in the next week or two. Every team will be 724 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: on the field and uh, you know, fun time. Just 725 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: see how the rookies are doing. I don't make that 726 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: much of great play or poor play, but I I 727 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: do understand if you're there as a reporter, you know, 728 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: getting excited, like it's okay to get excited for players. Now, 729 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it necessarily translates to training camp, because 730 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: what happens in training camp You put on pads, and 731 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: then even if you sell in training camp practice, well, 732 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 1: how do you do in the preseason games? And then 733 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: you do well in the preseason game, Well, how's it 734 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: gonna go with the regular season games. So they're all 735 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: these kind of benchmarks you're just looking to clear and 736 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: um yeah, and hope everything is positive and you don't 737 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: have any injuries.
