WEBVTT - B.R.I.D.G.E.T. Trade Probability Machine 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:05.560 The Around the NFL Podcast starting a bunch of nerds 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:09.440 who never played an eco football. Welcome back to another 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.119 edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.280 Dan Hansis and I am joined interroom filled with heroes, 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.320 Mark Sessler, Chris Wessling and Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Boys? 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:25.000 And Hey now Wednesday show, my favorite show the week. 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.040 Totally false uh introduction by Matt money Smith. No, they're 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:30.560 starting to be a little edge to these I think 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.360 the money thing, the fact that we're not paying him 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.360 and haven't paid him in five years, it's starting to 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.400 come to a head and never will pay him be factual. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.800 Though we did play some of us and you know, 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.560 while we're on the topic, movie sticks. Uh put out 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.639 that fake news video about a trip to England and 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.879 and if you're aware of the um our podcast handles 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.480 and move the sticks, he apparently is a podcast here. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.880 I was not aware of that. Uh. He he was 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.600 spreading falsehoods in England that we're not well known. Um 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.600 And then at the end of the video Matt money 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.040 Smith clearly DJ had gotten him drunk because you see 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.720 the drink in his hand. Yes, Money looks a little woozy. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.360 Let's put it that way. In their first class flight, uh, 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.080 money threw us under the bus at the end. So 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.600 what let's let's start connecting some dots here. That's all 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.160 I think. We have to realize we probably don't have 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.720 any friends in the building at all, and we just 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.240 have to operate as a foursome with um Erica as 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.120 our only ally, although I don't really know if we 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.200 can trust Erek either. Well Erica edited the video that 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:38.320 move the sticks. Well, that's what I mean, that's slightly 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.920 what was that? What was up with that? Listen? Shadowy 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.360 League figures came downstairs and they slapped it on my 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.440 desk and they said, do this if you want to 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.760 keep working here and working with you guys. So sometimes sometimes, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.920 you know, I have to do some things that that 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.440 I don't want to. But you know, Ricky is a businesswoman. 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.440 You give her the money, she'll uh, you know, she'll 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.200 put up some propaganda. We've got a few of those 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.560 people anything, And I know what it's like in this building. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.040 Sometimes you get a phone call from a Shadow League 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.160 figure and they tell you something and you know it's wrong, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.000 but what can you do. Ultimately you're under the thumb 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.960 of you know, big football. Yeah, that's our life. But 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.480 we sold drawn because we're proud. Can't pretend you're not 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.520 company men when you're taking cash from the company, you can't. Um. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.679 Thank you by the way to Christopher w at sing 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.280 for the day on Twitter. Him and his buddies from 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.480 his fantasy league sent like an assload of Lacroix to 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.040 the office. And uh for those of you um that, 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.200 Um I believe. Oh Dan, you know he doesn't like 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.120 to leave the country. He's you know, xenophobic. I have 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.920 a new favorite flavor, flavor of Lacroix SERESI the amone. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:51.399 So how about that megalomanian American viewpoint? That ain't us 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.320 of a This is like the third shipment of products 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.920 you've received over the years. At least you gotta sent 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.240 him in toast crunch Regkin Lacroix. It's a pretty good 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.560 side business I got working. Um, today's show, we have 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.640 a lot of news to get to, so thank you 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.000 to Christopher and his buddies. That was very kind of you. Um, 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.200 we got a lot to get to, a lot of news, trades, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.960 possible trades. In fact, this is kind of our trade 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.000 episode because we're gonna go through what's going on in 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.040 the league right now, and then a little later in 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.239 the show, we're going to fire up our trade probability 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.120 machine and throw out some trade possibilities and compute them 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.919 and see if there legit, if there's something I could 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.200 happen ahead of next week's trade deadline, which I believe 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.760 is oct. Are you going to explain why said machine 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.240 is named Bridget? We will get to that, uh in 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.440 due time, But yes, the machine is called Bridget. It 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.880 was a piece together from mostly old computer parts found 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.200 in dumpsters, like from the eighties and early nineties. Those 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.920 dumpsters have not been emptied. It's still that's trash pick 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.240 up issue in city places. But yeah, Erica actually proved 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.400 yourself to be quite a tech a techie if you will, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.040 piecing together Bridget. So thank you for that, Erica, You're 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.080 welcome doing that on your off hours. After you did 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.680 the r j v P show, you then actually the 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.920 jess Nick and Rosenthal Vanity Project. Now the name is 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.520 j V Junior Vice President. I don't know. I feel 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.960 like you had a chance to really build your brand, 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.520 and you you now reset the brand. It's good to 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.800 just mix, keep people on their toes mix it up? 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:31.800 All right? So we got a lot to get to 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.680 and uh, let's start by doing some news. Maybe I'm 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.839 just not up with the times. But but who listens 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:43.560 to podcast? Come on, now you are? You aren't making 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.240 enemies right now, I'm gonna pull some strings. I'm gonna 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.840 get you on some podcasts going forward. I've done. I'll 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:57.400 just never listen to one. Okay, I mean, Troy, could 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:02.480 you could you be anymore of a dinosaur? Cool? Take? Bro? 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.039 Nothing nobody has any anything. I really have been a 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.360 huge Troy Aikman fan, and this was a jarring comment 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.520 from him. Uh, he's just simply not with the times 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.039 on any level. If he thinks that, I'm just gonna 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.040 get an attraction with like a shocking take from Troy Aikman. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.719 Like he's still like anti online shopping, you know what 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.200 he's like. It's like, I'm gonna buy my jeans in person. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.640 I don't need to do Let's go to computer. I'm 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.800 not gonna use one of those computers to do that. 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.080 I like to feel in my hands before I buy 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.440 those rankers. I take it easy on the Information super 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.800 Highway is dangerous out there, all right. Here we go. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.440 Let's start with the first big domino to fall this week. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:49.839 Uh Amari Cooper, the wide receiver. UH former first round 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.600 pick traded from the Oakland Raiders to the Dallas Cowboys. Uh. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.000 There was a report from rap Sheep last week that 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.200 the Raiders were seeking a first round pick that was 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.160 kind of in the in the football technacin the poo 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.320 pooed a little bit. Uh. Oh, there's no way you 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.240 can get a one for Cooper, but they did because 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.760 a Dallas Cowboys in desperate need of a playmaking wide 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.760 receiver go and get a Mariy Cooper. They give up 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.680 their first round pick, a first round pick that could 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.719 be quite valuable. Chris Westling, if the trajectory of the 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.000 Cowboys doesn't change, which is a five hundred or sub 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.719 five hundred team, could end up being a top fifteen, 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.960 top twelve pick, something like that. West did you like 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.680 this trade from the Cowboys perspective? I did, um. I 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.520 don't think we always have to think of it from 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.359 a general manager's perspective. I think of it from a 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.640 person who watches the Cowboys every week. This makes them 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.039 a better team, a more watchable team, a more fun team, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.560 and a team that can go deeper into January now 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.080 that they have an outside receiver. Um we I don't 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.800 know why a Mari Cooper disappears so often. He's not 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.440 a consistent player, but he does have nine games of 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.400 a hundred and twenty or more yards since he entered 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.880 the league, which is nine more than Dez Bryant had 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.960 since two thousand fifteen. I think this is a much 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.800 better receiver than what the Cowboys are used to in 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.520 the last few years. I think he's obviously talented, but 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.440 it's it's not a short trend of him not producing. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.480 It's the last twenty plus games. So you just wonder 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.480 wonder why that is. But you're right the Cowboys. The 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.520 Cowboys often see these guys that other coaching staffs or 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.560 organizations can't get the most out of, and they think 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.920 that they're going to turn them around. The track record 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.240 on that, whether it was Roy Williams t o on 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.320 wide receiver trades mixed, but it makes them makes them better. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.720 I don't really trust them to draft a better ride 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.720 receiver than that. Look at the receivers that have been 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.280 drafted the last four years in the first round. More 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.400 than more than not are significantly worse than Marie Cooper. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:43.880 And if you're in the end, if you're a fan 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.840 in the NFC East, all these Giants fans I know 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.680 are absolutely upset right now because they're watching their team 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.360 just gut the roster. We're in Dallas. They're saying to 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.840 their Cowboys fans, We're not giving up on this season 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.840 at all. We had a legit weakness at wide receiver. 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.960 We did everything we could do address that. We believe 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.960 you can get into the playoffs in the NFC and 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.840 it changes the entire kind of vibe of your season 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.200 in Dallas, which felt to me a little bit hopeless 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.080 at that position. The Giants sold their fan base and 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:12.920 themselves on the idea that they were just a couple 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.600 of pieces away, and that blew up in their phases. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.280 This year, we'll see if this actually helps the Cowboys 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.000 and takes their offense to the next level. Uh. Speaking 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.360 of Daniel Jeremiah, he had tweeted earlier this week that 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.720 he didn't think there was the same level of explosiveness 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.240 for Marii Cooper in the last year or two. Uh, 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.880 and his numbers back up that type of claim, so 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.079 that he's gonna need to kind of rEFInd whatever he 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.880 had in those first couple of years in Oakland for 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.240 the strade really to make a difference. And and it's 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.400 a it's a Cowboys move. They're often making short term moves, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.160 so yes, it doesn't make them better. I think Jerry 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.400 Jones wants to keep Jason Garrett employed. He the last 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.360 thing he wants to do is fire Jason Garrett. Gives 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.480 him a better chance to make the playoffs and do that. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.480 But it is kind of a general trend for the 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.839 Cowboys that you think about right now, you don't think 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.480 about long term. And at at the very best, Cooper 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.679 is gonna out and then they're gonna pay him a 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.800 ton of money at the same time that they need 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.880 to pay Dak Prescott and his Eko Ellie at a 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.920 ton of money. Though it was interesting that the Eagles, 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:13.319 who are very analytics minded um and operate differently than Cowboys. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.320 Mike Silver said that they offered a second round pick, 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.840 so they were just as hot on Amari Cooper's trail 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.960 as the Cowboys. They just weren't willing to go for 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.040 that first rounder. And now let's look on the Raiders 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.280 side of this, and uh so, now they've traded Khalil 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.199 Mack of course, uh, their best overall player and best 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.080 defensive player. They have now traded their best offensive weapon 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.600 and Amari Cooper and are a report from the Athletic 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.760 VIC for is that how you pronounced his name? Let's 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.920 just call him vic VIC reported a number of Raiders 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.520 veterans have questioned Gruden John Gruden's accountability in the wake 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.520 of the Mac and Cooper trades. Uh this from Vic. 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.719 When what you say and what you do are two 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.000 different things, there is a problem. Uh, And here's the 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.240 Here's the problem to me, Mark is these players can 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.360 be upset with but Gruden is that going anywhere? And 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.000 uh so this looks like it's a full rebuild. So 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.719 maybe these players that are upset just realized that they 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.880 they have no long term job security where they are 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.720 right now, and that cannot be a good feeling or 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.760 positive vibe for a football team with still ten weeks 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.600 to play. I mean, if you're if you're a player, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.520 and you watch them move Cleil Mac and then they 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.240 move Cooper and and the issues where that they felt 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.280 Gruden refuses to communicate in a way that shows respect. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.240 Where Cooper was pulled off the practice field. Gruden didn't 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.000 say anything about the trade after practice. They learned about 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.600 it from social media and text messaging and people asking 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.880 about the trade. And if you're a veteran player and 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.160 you you thought initially Gruden was gonna come in, you're 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.440 gonna do all you can to win right away. I 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.320 get what Gruden's doing from a team building perspective. You 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.520 have five number one picks over the next two years, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.120 and you're essentially looking for Las Vegas Raiders two point oh. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.080 But if you're these players that have no a low 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.160 possibility of being there when the flower blooms in Nevada, 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.680 why why are you all in here? You're feeling like 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.040 you're being used to get to the end of the season. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.080 There the average career last what three years, and there's 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.480 only sixteen games a year. I if I'm a player, 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.400 I don't want to hear that these games mean nothing 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.679 in in in that article, it's essentially players saying we're 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:18.560 hearing one thing publicly and another privately from Gruden. So 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.360 he's has one message to the team and then it 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.600 doesn't really match up with what he's doing, which is 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.960 basically every article about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from the 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.120 year's two thousand five to two thousand and nine the 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.680 same problem where they felt like they couldn't trust their coach. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.600 So who's safe the reports that nobody's saved. Derek car 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.080 is supposed to be safe for the Raiders. But what's 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.079 going on with Derek Carr because another report from the 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:44.120 athletic UH that cars relationship with his Raiders teammates is 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.880 the quarterback of the team and the franchise UH star 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.439 is fractured. UH. And then that same report went into 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.719 an issue that he may have lost UH the teammates 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.520 and lost the locker room after he cried on the field, 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.000 which led to all sorts of responses from Darren Carr. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.960 There's a third car brother everybody, UH. And then Derek 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.680 uh responded also on Twitter, UM saying this on the ground, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.360 I yelled, I yelled, get up, get me. Then I 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.600 got to the sideline and yelled again. Not one tier, 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.080 not one time. There is the truth. People will click 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.440 on it because it sounds crazy, but stopped playing with me. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.480 Reggie Bush was here for the Twitter show yesterday. He 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.960 said he couldn't respect a teammate if he cried on 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.440 the field. Who knows if Derek Carr actually cried. But 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.880 the problem here is Derek Carr and the Raiders are 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.000 not in a good place either, at least his teammates. 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.079 I don't know how as a writer you you penned 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.480 that article. I just how can you question this guy's 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.160 toughness after what he's played through and what he's what 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.960 he's gone through in the past. I just to me, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.120 that's I'd have a hard time writing that article. Well 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.920 you wouldn't. You wouldn't write it. I mean, in any 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.800 scenario you wouldn't write something that Mark would write it, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.640 but none of us would write it. It was a 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.160 very salacious and just trying to make a point. And 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.000 maybe he does have some information that people aren't fired 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.680 up with Derek Carr within the building. I'll buy that. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.440 But here's why. If he's not playing well, if Derek 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.480 Carr was playing at a great level, if they were 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.400 six and one, if he was had twenty touchdowns this 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.959 year and four interceptions, there's no article. No one cares. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.760 You can cry. You can cry all day, you can 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.000 cry in the huddle while you're throwing fifty yard passes. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.760 Like people aren't gonna be happy with you. Yeah, you 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.079 could be stobbing. It could be like the good Will 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.240 hunting scene where where he's telling them there's nothing wrong 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.600 with Matt Damon and that could be your reaction at 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.079 all times if you're playing. I get what you're saying, Greg, 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.559 But I think actually Reggie spoke the actual complete opposite, 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.120 and I think he wanted to circle back around on 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.120 his comments a little bit on a Twitter show, but 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.920 he made it very clear he didn't want to see 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.679 anyone crying and that and I think that we live 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.040 in it right now America. It's like intense sensitivity from men. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.199 Mess Men must be intensely sensitive and open to all emotions. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.160 But in the NFL locker room, I don't think that's 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.199 the case at all, Yeah, at all. My My larger 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.360 point was the article doesn't get written, and no one's 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.120 talking about this if they're winning in their plane the reporter, 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:11.120 but we should. Uh, it's Marcus Thompson the second. I 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.679 wonder what Marcus Thompson the first things about this. He's 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.680 probably very proud of his son, great work at the athletic. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.520 That's it. On the rise internet publication. We all speak 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.440 to our parents about what goes on at work. They're 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.280 just well, I'm sure they're just so lucky to have you. Well, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.640 you know, you know they're they're the lucky. Well, I'm 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:32.160 just saying like that. I love it. One last Raiders note. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.680 Marshawn Lynch could be the end for beast Mode. He's 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.560 moved to I r U with a injury. Uh what 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:44.760 is the injury again? Poor muscle por muscle surgeries. Thirty 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.800 two years old, he came out of retirement to return 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.480 home and play, uh, play for the town, and that 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.720 of course has not worked out. But but Lynch really 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.760 did play well, especially after maybe the first month and 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.120 a half of the season last year. He was quiet, 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.040 but he came on and was a good player for them. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.800 But he just it wasn't the right fit because the 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.680 Raiders weren't ready to contend. Does he want to play 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.360 for anyone except his hometown at this stage of his career. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.720 I think that's worth asking. I thought he would have 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.240 been a good trade candidate if he was healthy, because 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.440 I think he could help a team, for instance, like 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.560 the Patriots. I was thinking they could use an inside runner, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.960 like they could have given up a late round pick 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.080 for him. But now that he's hurt, I think he's 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.280 playing now. With Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore playing this well, 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.400 the way that Lynch has run his last games on 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.160 the field, I feel like he could play next year 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.360 if he wanted to. It's whether he wants to. Moving 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.920 on the Arizona Cardinals, Uh there there, They've been a 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.640 total nest this year, and now a report comes out 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.600 from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Uh that Patrick Peterson they're all 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:52.360 pro cornerback quote unquote desperately wants out. Uh. This report 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.280 came out shortly before Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilkes 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.600 met with the media for his UM daily press conference. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:04.240 Here is how will Um responded to that report. Oh, no, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.560 we're not We're not training Patrick. That's out of the question. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:13.280 So he shoots it down emphatically. There is a report 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.040 out there that does emphatic as Steve Wilkes get, Yeah, 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:24.320 can we get the breaking news drop yes, sir. Patrick 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.120 Peterson just released a statement. Oh read it was. I've 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.360 been incredibly frustrated with how the season has gone, but 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.920 my energy is focused on being part of the solution 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.200 and helping us turn this around. I've never shied away 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.040 from a challenge before, and I'm not starting now. I 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.800 have always given my all to the Cardinals organization, my teammates, 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.560 and fans. That is what I intend to do for 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.320 the years to come. I am an Arizona Cardinal and 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.840 my focus is on this week's game. Was he holding 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:59.360 up a newspaper with today's date when he's alright? What 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:04.359 else coming out? Of course, he's a great player and 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.040 a great leader. You would expect nothing less from than 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.399 him to focus on this week's game. Sure, he wouldn't 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.240 be disappointed if he got traded. He's probably realizing right 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.920 now other teams that we've heard our interested Jets, Patriots, 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.800 he's probably finding out. Look, it's not gonna happen because 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.520 the Cardinals don't want to trade him. What are you 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.479 gonna do? And and if you're John Gruden, you can 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.640 make these moves because you have that intense security if 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.240 you're Wilkes, and if you're the Cardinals GM, right now, 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.200 you're gonna be trading him for picks that you may 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.960 not be around to use. So and he's a future 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.640 Hall of Fame player, still in his prime. So why 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.159 I never understand why you don't trade? So is Khalil 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.439 mac right? So that was a dumb trade? You're right, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.199 but it was like he's under contract, it's under a 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.200 totally fair contract. Why would that ever make the Cardinals 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.359 to trade him. I've been told by an insider that 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.680 he wants a new contract and he's not a great 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.600 fit for Steve wilkes defense. So I think this is 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.520 where it all comes. That's what people have said and 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:00.480 a lot of like the there's been a lot of 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.800 criticism of Steve Wilkes of how they're using them. And 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.160 it's like Pitt Petrick Pearson is making a bigger impact 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.760 this year to me than I've seen explain playing amazing, 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.160 So it seems like a good fit to me. Uh, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.480 not a good fit. Chad Kelly and the Denver Broncos, 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.399 the backup quarterback, the last pick of the two thousand 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.600 and seventeen draft, who turned some heads, including in this room, 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.879 during the preseason with some high level play and potentially 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.359 was in line to see some snaps of case. Keenum 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.080 continued to struggle, Well, you blew it because you went 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:37.680 to Von Miller's Halloween party and you got drunk, and uh, 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.800 allegedly and you got into some type of altercation at 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.400 the party and you were escorted out of the party, 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.760 and then you wandered the nearby surface streets and wandered 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.199 into someone else's home that wasn't yours and sat on 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.880 the couch and according to the police, all of this 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.680 was mumbling incoherently. Uh. Then you were you were battered 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.399 by a vacuum cleaner by one of the residents of 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.800 the home, who of you to get out. Uh, And uh, 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.280 that doesn't go so well because you then get arrested 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:10.000 with first degree criminal trust passing And uh, the Broncos 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.480 would say, listen, we kind of like this Chad Kelly, 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.600 but we don't like this version. So you gone. He's released. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.800 So Chad Kelly gets sent packing after an embarrassing arrest 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.840 over the weekend or on Monday, and there was report 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.360 that John Ellie was extremely angry with him, and there 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.920 was no wiggle room here. I would say, outside of 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.960 the arrest, I've done most of what Chad Kelly has 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.600 done at times in the past, so I will allow 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.080 someone else to critique him. Yeah, I've done that before. 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.240 No question, You've run into someone else's house you've been 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:42.320 you've been physically escorted out of a party, most most 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.439 a coworker through and then got into an altercation and 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.960 threatened security at that party. I think that is just 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.800 as didn't do any of that. But I think that's 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:51.840 just as much of a reason of why he's released. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.560 And then the number one reason is is he has 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:59.720 a long track record of drinking problems and problems with arrest, 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:03.040 and I think when they took him on, they probably said, look, 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.520 we can't tolerate any more of this at the pro level, 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.280 else we're gonna cut you, so you gotta car. I 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.040 think West and I were just saying that in decades 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.119 years past events occur where I'm not just gonna stand 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.360 here and lash this player. Good luck to you, Chad. 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.720 Is it safe to say that both of the kissing 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.920 cousins have at some point in their life gotten drunk 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.399 and ended up in someone else's home thinking it was theirs. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.040
