11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: be the last podcast of the week. And here's the plan.

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm flying out Thursday morning back to northern California, and

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: then I'm flying back to Scottsdale on Tuesday morning. We

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: will not have a podcast during that time, so this

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: will be the last podcast until next Wednesday. I'll record

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: one on Tuesday. Obviously, have a lot of information playoff teams,

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: lead up to some of these big Bowl games. A

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: lot going on, So basically Thursday through Monday, no more podcasts,

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: and then we will have one on will record on Tuesday.

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: It'll be out on Wednesday. I think my plan is

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: to go Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so maybe three podcasts, just

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: back to back to back because then obviously we have

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: New Year's and there won't be anything next weekend, and

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: then we'll be reacting the following week, uh for Week

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: eighteen of the NFL and some of the playoff games

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: have some booze wat some football enjoy the fan. But

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: let's start with the story I saw today, which I

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: think is pretty fascinating. And if you've been listening to

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: me for a while, you know where I stood on

44
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Amazon getting Thursday Night Football adapter die, Like, hey, listen,

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: this this isn't two thousand twelve. If you're bitching a

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: moaning about streaming, I don't know what to tell you.

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: And if you were one of the people like Amazon product,

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: like you don't have Amazon are you? Are you living

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: in uh through the real country, Like I don't know

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: one human being, including my seventy five year old mother,

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: who doesn't utilize Amazon, let alone know how to utilize

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. It's gone very well now when it comes

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: to YouTube and YouTube TV. I have experienced when I

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: moved to Scottsdale, I became a cord cutter and in

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: my office several TVs. I went with YouTube TV, and uh,

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: I've been using it now since whenever I moved into

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: this office early September, and it is very very easy

58
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: to use, Like honestly doesn't get any easier, so to me,

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: the transition people bitching and moaning about Fox CBS and

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, I I just can't listen to people that

61
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: are anti streamers, because here's the reality. Anyone under like

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: sixty should be able to seamlessly figure it out, and

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: anyone over sixty, I'll give you a little bit of

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the benefit the doubt. But all these people have children,

65
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: all these people have neighbors. If they want to watch football,

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of people do, they'll figure it out

67
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: and it won't be that difficult. It might cost you

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: another twenty dollars to improve the speed of your internet, well,

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: so be it. You know me, personally, I think YouTube

70
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: TV is the way to go. I have been blow

71
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: in a way by not how not only how easy

72
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: it is to use. And I've had friends that told

73
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: me over the years, like, bro, you should get on it,

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and I've just hesitated. And then obviously this when I

75
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: moved into this office in Scott's dalees like why why

76
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: don't I try it? And I can't like it anymore.

77
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: So when I saw this, I was very excited. Now

78
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: it has been clear for a while that the NFL

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: was going to transition either to Amazon to Apple. I

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: honestly hadn't read not that I'd read too deep into it.

81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: I just assumed that it was gonna go to Amazon

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: or Apple, so I would put YouTube Google in that category.

83
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be fantastic. These companies

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: are built to operate these type things. And this is

85
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: the first year I've ever got Sunday Ticket. And my

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: take on Sunday Ticket is for the iPad, it's awesome

87
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: and for the phone, very easy to use. But when

88
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I have to use it on my television and those

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: of you that are Sunday Ticket users, no, you have

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: to have like the Roku or the firestick to be

91
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: able to watch four games at once on your television.

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: I don't have that. I just have the app on

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: my you know, basically bottom screen that I go to,

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: like I pass YouTube DV and I go to Sunday Ticket,

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: and I can only watch a game at a time,

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: So I have to pick if I want to watch

97
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: it on my television. We're on my my devices. I

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: can have the four boxes. I guarantee you that YouTube

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: will have the ability and you're not gonna need some

100
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: external application to watch eight games at once. I can't wait.

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: To me, this is a no brainer, and I just

102
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: have absolutely zero time to hear anyone complain about it

103
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: being on streaming. Um, I think it's a no brainer

104
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: move for the league. And uh they continue dominating print

105
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: money too, and half billion dollars a year, probably an

106
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: easy deal for them to sign. From a football on

107
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: the field football perspective, there was a story yesterday. I

108
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: didn't see the story on Aaron Rodgers and his hand signals. Well,

109
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: if you were watching the Monday night football game, there

110
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: was the play towards the end of the game where

111
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: he did like you know, he he goes over from

112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: his elbow to the bottom of his hand a lot

113
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: like a Major League Baseball you know, third base or

114
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: first base coach would do. And clearly Christian Watson either

115
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: didn't see it or didn't know what it meant. Aaron

116
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: Rodgers threw it to the dirt and Christian Watson went

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: to block and either the next day or maybe it

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: was the day before, there was an article that came

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: out with players on the record, former players like Sammy Watkins,

120
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Jordan's love who leads the hand signal? Uh, I guess

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: meetings as as Roger said to Pat McAfee and then

122
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: other young players like Romeo Dobbs just talking about it's

123
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: a difficult process, not something we look forward to. It's

124
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: very very hard with the hand signals to get on

125
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: the same page as Aaron Rodgers, and then Aaron Rodgers

126
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: sit on Pat McAfee. The whole thing was bullshit. It

127
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: was a big nothing burger of it was made up,

128
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: even though it was players on the record, current and former,

129
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 1: all basically reiterating the same thing. Not easy to figure

130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: out and like one thing, now we have concrete evidence

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to Tom Brady, who is forty five

132
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: years old, high achiever, alpha, crazy, detail oriented when it

133
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: comes to his offense, and Aaron Rodgers, a thirty eight

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: year old all time great player. Intellectually, they are very

135
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: very very difficult for younger players to operate with. And

136
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: for whatever, we don't have specific reasons all the time.

137
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: With Tom, sometimes it's just he doesn't trust, very easy

138
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: to the offense was very complicated with Rogers. He's not

139
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: always easy to deal with. He feels very very comfortable

140
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: with older players, i e. Randall Cobb than he does,

141
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of putting young players under his wing.

142
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Tom same thing, and I think anyone that's older knows

143
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: that the longer you're in a certain profession and the

144
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: longer that you and when I say master, obviously all

145
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: of us don't master to the level level Calm or

146
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Aaron masters the craft. But the longer you do something.

147
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: If you've been selling real estate now for twenty years,

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: you've been through multiple recessions, multiple highs, like you've seen

149
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot. So unless you're an extremely patient person, like

150
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: I know form for me, I'm not. I'm not very patient,

151
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: but I've had to actively think now that I'm involved

152
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: in the volume and it's not just me and one person,

153
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's me and five other people dealing with a

154
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: lot of people. I have to communicate better and it's

155
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: still something that I actively work on. And anyone who's

156
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: listening to this, Like I said the real estate example,

157
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the more and more younger people that that work under

158
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: you or that you have to deal with or you

159
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: work with, it takes you have to be very conscious

160
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: of how to work with them or else it's gonna

161
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: be not very seamless. It's going to be difficult. There

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: are gonna be lines of communication that are just lost,

163
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's difficult for older players obviously Tom

164
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and Aaron, So like realize sometimes when they're communicating to

165
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: another play it makes perfect sense in their mind. It

166
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: might to that younger player be like, they're speaking Chinese.

167
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: I remember Gronkowski, I forget where he was talking. Oh

168
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: is the Shop? And uh, I've never watched the Shop,

169
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: but it was a clip that came into my Twitter

170
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: feed years ago, and Tom and Gronk was basically talking

171
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: like Gronk sometimes had to look at Tom and be like, Bro,

172
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: you know this offense better than like Josh McDaniels and

173
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. When you're telling this first or second year

174
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: player what to do, they don't understand. You have to

175
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: be easy on them. And it was very, very difficult

176
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: for Tom to understand. Just like with Aaron this story

177
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: about the hand signals, Like it was clear when you're

178
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: watching Monday night football, then in Aaron's mind when he

179
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: did that signal, he one knew exactly what it was. Clearly,

180
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: Christian Watson had no fucking clue. Honestly, that signal might

181
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: have meant nothing to him. Honestly, it could have met

182
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: the opposite. But regardless, the hand signals and rogers are

183
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: are not resonating with these young players and are intimidating

184
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: because when you're a younger player. Think about this, if

185
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: you're if you're Garrett Wilson with the New York Jets one,

186
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: you don't even like your other young quarterback, but you're

187
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: not worried about earning Zack Wilson's respect, right. All you're

188
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: obsessed with is learning your craft, figuring out what your

189
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: coaches want, and then ITT's on Zach Wilson to figure

190
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: it out, like get you the ball where when you're

191
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs, Christian Watson years ago and to Kiel Harry

192
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: whoever dealing with Tom dealing with Aaron Rodgers, you're really

193
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: fighting two battles. You're trying to earn the respect of

194
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: your position coach and your head coach and your offensive coordinator,

195
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: and you're trying to earn the respect of the Hall

196
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback. Anyone who's been new to a job

197
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: knows like it's it's difficult. There are pressures. You're trying

198
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: to get to know everyone. You're trying to figure out

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: the hierarchy of the company. And then obviously whoever your

200
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: boss is, you know, whoever your superior is, You're you're

201
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: trying to impress them. Well, in most jobs, you don't

202
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: have multiple superiors, like you answer to one guy well

203
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: as a young receiver or young skill guy playing for

204
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Rogers or playing for Brady, you're it's kind of a

205
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: double whammy because you view the coach or the coordinator,

206
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: whoever the guy is calling the offense, and then Tom

207
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: or Aaron as kind of equals. So it's like, God,

208
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: I got two guys that are in my ass, and

209
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: the more and more that you it's just natural for

210
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: young guys to get a little tight in some of

211
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: these situations when you feel the pressure coming down from

212
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: you from multiple people. It's easy to see why this

213
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: doesn't always work. And like I get why Aaron in

214
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: his mind thinks like he's easy to deal with, because

215
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: most of us feel once we start to figure out

216
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: what we're doing, we understand it. And this is why, like,

217
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I could never have been a coach. I'm not a

218
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: good teacher. I don't have the patients. Well, part of

219
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: being a good coach is you have to have patients

220
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: part of being an older VET. And ultimately Aaron needs

221
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs and Christian Watson like it behooves him for

222
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: them to know what's going on. So even if he's

223
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: not patient and thinks that it takes too long for

224
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: them to learn, he better figure it out, because if

225
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: they want to make a playoff push, they better get

226
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: on the same page. And this hand signal thing is

227
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: clearly a a bumpy roller coaster. Yesterday on on the

228
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Instagram streets was DM and back and forth with I

229
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: think it was a Patriot fan just kind of going

230
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: that this guy reached out and said that he thought

231
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: Bill was kind of getting unfairly, you know, dragged through

232
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: the mud in the situation of obviously he lost Tom Brady,

233
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, the greatest player arguably in the history of

234
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: the league, let alone probably like a top five athlete ever.

235
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: And he just went through the list of coaches from

236
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, the Flores, just all the guys over the years.

237
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Ernie Adams his right hand guy, not with the Patriots

238
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: since they were like twenty years old. And it's hard

239
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: to overcome that. And I don't disagree that part of

240
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: Bill bellett Checks downfall is he's lost basically every coach

241
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: he's ever had, right except Patricia and Judge who had

242
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: to come storming back. But it's you get to a

243
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: point where Bill has hung his hat like on the

244
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: way he structured his coaching staff, which is basically his

245
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: organizational chart is he found guys in their early to

246
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: mid twenties, He paid them little to nothing, and he

247
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: taught them everything, and then they worked their way up

248
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: from p O lead Caserio to Flores the day Ball

249
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: to Josh to you know, Patricia, you dame him and

250
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: they learned the secret sauce to a point. Obviously, build

251
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: and teach him everything. But he could then place them

252
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: at all his position coaches, his coordinators, and he felt

253
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: very comfortable. He got to teach them everything they needed

254
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: to know. And one thing he's always struggled to do

255
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: is go outside the family and hire people that are

256
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: running back coach from another team, hire a defensive coordinator

257
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: from college, things that basically every other coach does. And listen,

258
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: I've known a few really really rich guys that that

259
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: are older, and I would say they are very, very stubborn,

260
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: and the last thing they're gonna do is adapt and

261
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: truly change in their seventies. That's not the way it works.

262
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: And in fairness to them, to get super super rich

263
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, in your seventies. You

264
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: have done things that have been very, very successful. So

265
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: part of your the reason you're at where you're at,

266
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: and Bill is seventy years old, is because of everything

267
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: he did in his forties, fifties, and sixties. So in

268
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: his mind, why the fuck is he gonna change? Here's

269
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: the problem, though, he doesn't have a choice. If he

270
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: doesn't change, his career is gonna end, and it's gonna

271
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: be pretty ugly, right, and ugly for his standards. He's

272
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: such a good coach, he's never gonna have, you know,

273
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: some three or four win season, but struggling to get

274
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: the seven seed, in his mind, is probably pretty embarrassing.

275
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: That game last week, blowing it on special teams, getting

276
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: a punt lock, having the final play is the most

277
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: unpatriot like. Honestly, that was the most unpatriot like game

278
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: you'll ever see. And I think that Bill like look

279
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: at Andy Reid for example, who, like Bill, has taken

280
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: a lot of young coaches over the years and top

281
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: them the rope started them on the lowest level. His

282
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: personal assistant Sean McDermott started once upon a time. Brett

283
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Veach started once upon a time as the assistant to

284
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: the head coach. He's taken quality control guys like Doug

285
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Peterson over the years and worked their way up to

286
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: become coordinators. But he also goes outside the family. Eric

287
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: b Enemy hadn't worked with Andy. He had been a

288
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: running back coach for the Minnesota Vikings. He had been

289
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes, and he just

290
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: hired him Dave Tobe, who had been the special team's

291
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: coach for the Chicago Bears forever. These are type hires

292
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: that build that. Now. He'll bring Matt Naggie back, Steve

293
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: Spagnola back. But the defensive coordinator currently at l s

294
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: U is the former linebacker coach for the Kansas Chiefs

295
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: for the last three or four years when they've been

296
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: really good. You know where he got that guy. He

297
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: got him from the University Kentucky because he was their

298
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: linebacker coach and a good coach. Like he is not

299
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: afraid to hire people from outside the box. Pete Carroll

300
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: does the same thing, brings guys up, but he's also

301
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: who's his offensive coordinator right now? He got him from

302
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: the Rams. And if you're not willing to do that,

303
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get to the point, especially Bill, you

304
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: don't have the time to just find all of these

305
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: guys that are twenty three years old and then in

306
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: five years they turned into the next Josh McDaniels or

307
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: the next Brian Flores. Times not on your side. So

308
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: obviously one of the big pushes this offseason gonna be

309
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia can't be your offensive coordinator because I still

310
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: feel very confidently by saying, no other team could have

311
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: pulled that off, no Power five college program and definitely

312
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: no NFL team. I'm not saying you couldn't hire map Tricia.

313
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying you couldn't make him your defensive coordinator.

314
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: He had been the defensive coordinator for teams that went

315
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: and won the Super Bowl. He had worked under Bill

316
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Belichick for over a decade. His resume was impressive, even

317
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: if his head coaching was a joke. You could make

318
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: him your coordinator, I would have no No one could

319
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: argue with that. We could then when the season went on,

320
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: argue how good he is as a coordinator, but he's

321
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. To make him your offensive coordinator after

322
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: a year for basically just replacing Lardie Adams is in sanity.

323
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: But in Bill's mind, well, why wouldn't I take a

324
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: guy who I've trained and then turn him into this role.

325
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: No other coach would have done that. And for the

326
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: most part, Bill is right a lot more than he's wrong.

327
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: And that's the reason that they've had a lot of success,

328
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: because you can argue with me all you want about

329
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: like the importance of Tom, and it was all Tom, Like,

330
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: come on, man, I'm not Obviously Tom played an enormous role,

331
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the pie chart is build

332
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: the Tom, but I'm thirty eight years old. So basically

333
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: when their rain started, I was eighteen ish and watched

334
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: twenty plus years because they were on Even living on

335
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: the West Coast, you're getting five or six of their

336
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: regular season games in prime time, and then obviously all

337
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: their playoff games. Even if you're not a Patriot fan,

338
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: we've all watched, I would say, on average, seven Patriot

339
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: games this season over decades, and they hung their hat

340
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: their point of difference Beside Tom, who was the greatest

341
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: quarterback ever obviously was clutch. And in a weird way,

342
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna sound like I'm diminishing. I'm not trying

343
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: to the greatest game manager we've ever seen. He will

344
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: just do whatever it takes on that drive to move

345
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: the ball and score touchdowns. But they're coaching staff hung

346
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: their hat on out, thinking you out, detailing you, making

347
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: moves that you did not see coming over decades, and

348
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: they're not doing that anymore. Like what is their point

349
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: of difference? Like, what is Amazon's point of difference? Well,

350
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: I can go shop on their website and they deliver

351
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: it to me in at most forty eight hours. Their

352
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: efficiency is unmatched. What's Apple's point of difference? Their their

353
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: products are elite. I'm talking into an Apple, uh Mac

354
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: or a Mac. I have an Apple, I have an iPhone,

355
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I have an iPad. They all work flawlessly. Just an

356
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: elite product. I'm wearing Nike shoes. What's Nikes? You can

357
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: argue there, you know, actually had a good day on

358
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the stock market today. Like, what's Nike's point of difference?

359
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: It's not their products. Their products actually aren't that great.

360
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Their marketing in my life, their marketing far in what

361
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: they're the best marketed company I'd argue in my life.

362
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: Now is that sustainable? It's gonna be hard over time, right,

363
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: there's only so many Michael Jordan's only so many tiger woods.

364
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: But for thirty five plus years, no one marketed better

365
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: than Nike. Hell I just watched the Pepsi documentary Pepsi

366
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: and Coke Pepsi, these companies marketing was huge. Well, Belichick

367
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: hung his hat on details and coaching and Tom Brady

368
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: And now he obviously doesn't have Tom Brady and the

369
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: details and coaching or slipping. So he's either going to

370
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: and here gonna be the hard part. Even if he

371
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: was willing to go outside the family, which I think

372
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: would be very, very difficult for him to acknowledge, it's

373
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: time to do what coach who is good and has

374
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: options would want to go to Bill. And I was

375
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: always told this when I worked in the business. The

376
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: reason guys would scout and you know, kind of get

377
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: their foot in with Bill. They didn't New England didn't

378
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: pay much, you know for like scouts and definitely young

379
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: assistant coaches relative to the rest of the league. You're

380
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: guaranteed to win, and then you guaranteed to win, you

381
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: become a bigger name, and then you make more money

382
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: with other teams. Well, now you're not guaranteed shit because

383
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason people are hesitant. It was like, well,

384
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. There feels a miserable dude. Man, he's not.

385
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: You know, this is not a fun work environment. Now

386
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: you could argue football in general is not the funnest

387
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: place to be, but like Nick Saban, same thing. Not

388
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: a fun work environment. But you know what, you're guaranteed

389
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: to go to Alabama. The shittiest season you're gonna have

390
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be tend and two and more than likely

391
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: every single year you're gonna be in the playoffs. And

392
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen after a year or two. You're gonna

393
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: get promoted another place, you're gonna become a head coach,

394
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna go back to the NFL. You're gonna go

395
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: chit ching. And I think for the first time these

396
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: last couple of years, like I wonder even if he

397
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: was willing buildings a little toxic. I'm not saying the

398
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: end is near, but it's it's kind of weird. Uh,

399
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: I guess not weird because, like I said earlier this week,

400
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: this is how it usually ends. It's kind of sad,

401
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, it really is. And uh, last but not least,

402
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: I saw this story A lot of people have talked

403
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: about it, and I even talked a little bit about

404
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: it the other day about Drake may being offered. I

405
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: guess I didn't know the number. I just said Mac

406
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Brown had acknowledged that teams were calling, and then Patton

407
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: or Doozy came out and said that he had heard

408
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: that multiple teams had offered five million dollars. And ultimately,

409
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: my take on I said it the other day, it's

410
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: pretty capitalism. I have no problem with it. Like now.

411
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: My other take is if I was in the business,

412
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: either as a coach, as an athletic department, or as

413
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: some of these boosters, I would have no problem cutting

414
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: checks to transfer players who I know are good and

415
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: are gonna be plug and play players. Last year, remember

416
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: USC when got Jordan Addison, Caleb Williams. Both those guys

417
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: come in kick as take names. If you were able

418
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: to get Drake May, Boom, immediate plug and play starter

419
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: if you're Georgia, if you're Alabama, if you're Ohio State,

420
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: you're competing for a national championship immediately, and the transfer

421
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: people I would if I had to allocate my resources,

422
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: because most of these programs do not have unlimited resources,

423
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: I would not be in the business of giving astronomical

424
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: amounts of money to recruits. I would. I'd probably go

425
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: like the rule of my resources are gonna be allocated

426
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: into transfers. Now, it's risky because the guy's transferring for

427
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: a reason. Because you saw a couple of years ago

428
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: the j when he went to Clemson, Well, I got

429
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: news for you. It was before N I L. He

430
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: got paid a lot of money. But once N I

431
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: L started, Dr Pepper gave him a shipload of money.

432
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: He's terrible, He's not He's an average player of best.

433
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: I heard of a program who told him no. If

434
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: I told you the program that told DJ no, you'd

435
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: be like, are you serious. I'm like, yeah, they do

436
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: not want them. Not because they don't want the N

437
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: I L stuff. He wants to come there and play.

438
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: They don't want him. They don't think he's good enough.

439
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: And I I just think that the recruiting, all this

440
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: money getting thrown around. I also think it's probably a

441
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: little overplayed. Like all these recruits now, Historically, this is

442
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: what I've always thought about the media was very disingenuous.

443
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: People have always got brown backs. College athletes in basketball

444
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: and football have always been paid to go to big

445
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: time schools. That's the way it works, and I never

446
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: had a problem with it, but I always thought it

447
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: was kind of a risky business because if you look,

448
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: if you just pull up recruiting rankings for the last

449
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: like ten years, just look at the top ten recruits

450
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: for the last ten years, some of them are gonna

451
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, this guy's in the NFL. This guy's

452
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: killing it. Some guys should be like, who the hell

453
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: is that? I've never heard of that player? At least,

454
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: like I said, when you're getting a transfer, you go.

455
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: This guy started has a bunch of tape at Auburn.

456
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: I know we can play this guy, Caleb Williams. I

457
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: know he's sweet. This guy Drake May I saw him

458
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: throw forty touchdowns last year. It's it's very you have data, right,

459
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: It's it's why the draft is so difficult. It's why

460
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: so many draft picks miss. If Zack Wilson, instead of

461
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: playing that year at b y U had been playing

462
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: for the Jags and then had to go in the draft,

463
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: you'd probably have a better feel for how he would

464
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: look in the NFL. But that's not the way it works.

465
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: And I think what's gonna be fascinating moving forward is

466
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: the allocation of resources to this n I l And

467
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some stories of kids that are gonna

468
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: try to sue that aren't gonna get their money, because

469
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: I know this. If I was a booster and I

470
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: gave a bunch of money and then the kids stunk

471
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: and then want to transfer, like those checks would stop.

472
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: What's he gonna do? Take me to court? Good luck?

473
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: You're really gonna do that. You're gonna get a lawyer.

474
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Doubt it. So I think this thing, I have no

475
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: problem even kids that aren't in the transfer portal. It's

476
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: the wild wild West. Hell, I'm in the wild wild West.

477
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: I work on the internet. There aren't many rules on

478
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: the internet. When my kids, who I'm sure we'll probably

479
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: do some sort of business on the internet, there will

480
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: be rules and regulations left and right, just like in

481
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: ten twenty years with the transfer portal, there will be

482
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: some rules because I've always said, like coaches can leave

483
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: whenever they want, but there are under contract and if

484
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: there's a buy out, the other team has to pay.

485
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: There's no buyout, like ultimately Drake May. Let's just say

486
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: Georgia had offered him five million dollars, wanted to enter

487
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. Nothing UNC could do. Maybe there's some

488
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: rules if I'm paying you a certain amount of money,

489
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: there's a buyout. I don't know. I don't have the answer. Honestly,

490
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: don't care that much because I kind of like the

491
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: drama and the controversies that come and seeing the coaches mad.

492
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: It's clearly there are certain things in life that deserves

493
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: some rules and regulations and that they'll come. But it's

494
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: just it's just natural. But you could also argue, like

495
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: the college football, like the NFL, very clear umbrella of

496
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: what works, what who's under contract, why coaches can't leave,

497
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: why players can't leave. When you're a draft pick, a

498
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: first round pick, you get a fifth year option, your

499
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: second round pick, it's only a four year contract. There

500
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: are just no rules in college football. And when you

501
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: just get lawless, no rules, sometimes certain cities in America

502
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: could feel like that, all hell can break loose. Right

503
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: when there are rules, at least someone has to follow something. Now,

504
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: what's fair and what's not fair? You know, we could

505
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: both sides. You're gonna have arguments on that. But anything

506
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: in the infancy, there's a learning process in a curve

507
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm just fascinating to watch the play out.

508
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: I love the transfer portal and like I said I would,

509
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: I would allocate my cash to transfer kids. Football season

539
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's doing well. My man Stucky who you know,

540
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: I got a bad break because when we recorded last week,

541
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: we thought Mike White was gonna you know, battle through

542
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: seven broken ribs and in a broken abdomen, but he

543
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: was ruled out and Zack Wilson, who I I give

544
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: you the benefit of the doubt. Stuck. You never would

545
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: have bet on Zack Wilson um even though they took

546
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: a late lead uh in that game. But you know,

547
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson's always gonna Zack Wilson is clearly a teammates,

548
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: especially as wide receivers do not like them. Uh. It

549
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: feels like we're recording this on Wednesday. They're gonna have

550
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 1: to roll as Zack Wilson again. That sucks. I mean,

551
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson is gonna be the reason the Jets do

552
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: not make the playoffs in my opinion twenty one and

553
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: one on the season. You can find Stucky the Action Network,

554

Speaker 1: the Action Network podcast Big Bets on campus college basketball's

555
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: rolling right now. I saw Texas is seven right now

556
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: and their coaches, you know, probably gonna go to jail.

557
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: So wild times in college hoops. Yeah, the Jets game

558
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: was annoying. I wouldn't have played it. I was shocked

559
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: at the market. The market so there was and I

560
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: mean it was Jets. I had some plus one on

561
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: the Jets and then it went to minus one and

562
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: a half went soon as Zack Wilson gets an outscoes

563
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: to plus one and a half, as it should as

564
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: he's a downgrade from like wait, and then they the

565
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: Jets took really s money late in the weekend. They

566
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: closed like minus two and a half, which I was

567
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: shocked by. Um yeah, and I never would have played them.

568
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 1: Some of the throws Wilson had in that game, just

569
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: some of the inaccurate throws. An awful pick one completion

570
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: where he just basically threw it up in the air.

571
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: Oh then Garrett Wilson shoved the guy out and made

572
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: the play. Yeah, um yeah, it's just it was awful. Yeah,

573
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost him a playoff spot. Uh, they could

574
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: have still won that game, but he was probably the

575
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: reason why they didn't win it. And uh but yeah,

576
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: that's sometimes those are the the breaks that happened in the

577
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. So we're on to me. What's crazy about

578
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: him is how terribly he is at just the most

579
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: basic football stuff, right, like a wheel route, just a

580
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: basic slant route. He obviously, you know, made some defenders miss.

581
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: He's pretty athletic, he's got a big arm, but he

582
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: is terrible. Like third and seven, it's like, oh, there's

583
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 1: gonna be a point before the plays even snapped, they

584
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: got no shot. Yeah, even the great the good players

585
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: that he did have, like he can buy time and

586
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: he's a mobile. But you know, some of the deep

587
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: throws he had because he has some talented receivers, they

588
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: were underthrown or just like chuck it up and a

589
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: receiver makes a play. But yeah, in that offense, you

590
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: have to complete short passes and you have to complete

591
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: into the flats or slant, and he's just um as

592
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: you said, it's so bad at the littlest things. And uh,

593
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: it's it's maddening to watch and curious to see what

594
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: the Jets do in the off season and next season,

595
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: is it Mike White, do they try and go get

596
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: a young quarterback another veteran so because look they're they're

597
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: an up and coming team with a town on that

598
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: roster and all the other places. That's just the missing piece.

599
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: What's gonna be Thursday night? I mean, if if Trevor,

600
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder. I mean, the Jet defense is good,

601
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: but you know, obviously quarterbacks don't go against each other

602
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: in a game. But when you do watch two teams

603
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: play like, you kind of get the feel of the

604
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, how they snack up against each other in

605
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: that gap. I mean it could be eye opening to

606
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: the Jets fans, like this could be it for Zack

607
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: Wilson with the Jets after Thursday night, I think yeah, especially,

608
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean this Jackson was one of the worst secondaries

609
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 1: of the NFL. So if he's not, you know, looking

610
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: competent or at least semi competent on Thursday, and that

611
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: a loss on Thursday is gonna make it very tough

612
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: for them to have any shot to make the playoffs.

613
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, prime time, there's a night playoffs, playoff lives

614
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: on the line, and he has a bad game that

615
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: you might never say. Okay, let's dive into some of

616
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: the games this weekend. You know that they control their

617
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: own destiny. Well, I guess they need Washington to lose

618
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: a couple of games. But the Packers feels like that.

619
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't feel they do have some life.

620
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: They're playing Miami, who's lost several straight games too, obviously

621
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: three teams that are going to go to the playoffs. Uh,

622
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: this game's in Miami. You know, Aaron's battling a little

623
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: signal controversy with his his guys crushing him not knowing

624
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: the signals. But A. J. Dillon obviously left that game

625
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: on Monday night. As of right now, who knows. I mean,

626
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: he's a big part of kind of they become a

627
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 1: running team. But Dobbs and and Watson are coming on.

628
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: I think the Packers can make a run. You know,

629
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if they win the next three

630
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: games and you know, get that seven seed. But obviously

631
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: this might turn out to be their toughest game, uh

632
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: in Miami, depending on what happens obviously with New England,

633
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: and definitely the Jets Thursday night, Like I mean, they

634
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: start winning some games here, stucky, So this is a

635
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: big game. Yeah, the Packers. If they win this game,

636
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna needs some help. But it's not

637
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: that it's not the most it's not the craziest sequence

638
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: events that's required for them to make the postseason, and

639
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: they have the vikings and the lines at home to

640
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: finish out the year. Um. The one interesting thing about

641
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: this game is that it's in Miami, But just like

642
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: everywhere this upcoming weekend, it's gonna be cold and there's

643
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna be wind, And I think that really favors the Packers.

644
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: It's so it's not gonna feel like a game that's

645
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: in Miami, and yet Packers are getting healthier now it's

646
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: a team and I've talked about on the show. Yeah,

647
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: they've been pretty unlucky just on fourth downs in the

648
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: red zone. They're able to move the ball consistently, like

649
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: their success rates really high. They can run the ball,

650
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: and you've got you've got Romeo Dobbs back, which is

651
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: why they cut uh Sammy Watkins, and so they're I

652
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: think box tr should return this weekend. And they had

653
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: some injuries on the defensive side of the ball, but

654
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: they've kind of made some adjustments that are playing better

655
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: on that end as well. And their weakness still is

656
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: their run defense, but that's not you know, Miami strength.

657
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: And if you can make Miami running team, I think

658
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: that that's really what you want to do. And the

659
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: Packers have a great corner Gire Alexander, great past defense,

660
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: and they really excel at defending over the middle of

661
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: the field, which is what you want against this Mike

662
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: mc annual offense. So yeah, I took the four points here.

663
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: I think the Packers are trending in the right direction.

664
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins are trending the other way. I know they've played

665
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: some good teams here, but they also, you know, before

666
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: then played four the worst defenses in the NFL. So yeah,

667
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: I think that this is a bit too many points.

668
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: Uh probably to me, this is this is gonna be

669
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: a field goal game either way. Well, this game probably

670
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna be ice cold. New England hosting Cincinnati. Cincinnati probably

671
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, you could argue the hottest team in the league,

672
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: maybe beside Buffalo, and or saying, I guess San Francisco

673
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: to New England. After that, you know, you could argue

674
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: the one of the worst losses in the history of

675
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: the sport. Not that they were gonna win the game

676
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: in overtime, but it wasn't. They were guaranteed to win.

677
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: But the when you lose like that, I just it's

678
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: hard to shake, uh that they you know, this is

679
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: must win territory for them. Now they finished right Miami Jets,

680
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: so that they still get the opportunity to play those

681
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: two teams depending on what happens to them, So they

682
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: could you know, kind of you know, claw their way back.

683
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I I guess I probably would

684
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: have had hammered Cincinnati in this game. Had New England

685
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: won that game, you know, you guess it's a kitchen

686
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: sync game for New England. They have to win. But goddamn,

687
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: they look freaking terrible on offense and then the Raiders

688
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: defense is so terrible. It like, I didn't think it

689
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: was that impressive of a showing, especially for the majority

690
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: of the first half. They were awful and it took

691
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: a Derek pick six for them to get back in

692
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: the game. So it's not like Mac Jones through three touchdowns. Um,

693
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: I'd have a hard time putting money on the Matt

694
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 1: Patrician Joe Judge led offense here with the New England Patriots. Yeah,

695
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: the coach, the coaching, uh is a bit of a

696
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: concern because, I mean, build some of the decisions he's

697
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: making just from a game management standpoint, but most support

698
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: it's a play calling is just way off and how

699
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: do they recover from that kind of loss? Just the

700
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: question to say, I think with the Colts, like what

701
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: what are the I mean, the Colts aren't playing for

702
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: anything either, but when you blow a thirty three nothing

703
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: lead and lose um and you're out of the playoff fund, well,

704
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: you see Maddie Maddie Eyes got ben for fulls today.

705
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that's and they're like, who wants to come in

706
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: on Monday and prepare for a meaningless game? And so

707
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: the preparation is tough and we'll see if if they

708
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: show up. But yeah, I took the three half point

709
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: year I had Tampa last week to catching three and

710
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: a half at home against Sense I would make that

711
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: bet again. I mean there was if you look at

712
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: the I mean Tampa out gamed since he by two

713
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: d yards average. Too. They held Cincinnati to three point

714
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: eight yards per play, and they just I mean they

715
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: fumbled playoffs, four fumbles, they had off something a fake punt.

716
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: It's in the second half that on with Geo Bernard

717
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: that really turned the game around. But the Bengals, I mean,

718
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals were like three and a half in Tampa

719
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: last week. Now they're going on the road again and

720
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: now you're gonna be dealing with lots of wind, freezing

721
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: cold temperatures, which obviously think benefits New England. Who wants

722
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: to be a running team. Um so I think the

723
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: wind is really gonna help New England here. But I

724
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: still have the Patriots as a better team overall than

725
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, who were just they cannot cover spread the

726
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: state of their lives. They got one and eleven against

727
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: the spread. Um, I saw them slightly better and I

728
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: mean this look since he was minus one he closed

729
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: as a one point favorite in Tennessee. I have New

730
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: England better than Tennessee. They closes the three. Actually I

731
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: think they closed it three. There was late money that

732
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: came in on the box and now they're three and

733
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: a half within favorite. Just because they've covered so much,

734
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 1: they're they're eleven and one against spread their last twelve.

735
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: They're eighteen and four against the spread including the post season.

736
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: Over the past twenty two games, all Joe Burrow does

737
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: his cover, but usually when that happens in the NFL,

738
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: you start to get a little bit of inflated lines.

739
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: And since he's doing a lot of injuries, like I

740
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, the receivers aren't fully healthy, but they're they

741
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: played at least we'll see if Hayden Hurst plays. But

742
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, you are you know,

743
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: you just lost Sam Pubert. Now your defensive then we'll

744
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: see if Trey Henderson lays their defense. Event who was

745
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: out last week broken wrist. He has a chance to play,

746
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: but he might not, and then they'll be down both

747
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: of their starting defense events who are really important on

748
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: that defense. And then they have injuries in the secondary

749
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: as well, which is one of the reasons they just

750
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: weren't statistically great last week. They have the Bills on deck,

751
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: they pretty they've pretty much already clinched a playoff spot. Uh,

752
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: second straight road game here, and then look New England

753
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: still last week, for as ugly as they look, as

754
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: mac Jones looked awful, I think Stevenson still ran for

755
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: like almost two hundred yards. Since he's run, defense has

756
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: been a little shaky, and I think that's what this

757
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: game is gonna turn into because of the wins. I mean, uh,

758
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: we'll see. You know, it's Wednesday, so things can change.

759
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: But if you look at the forecast across the country,

760
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: it should be it's gonna be freezing and then it's

761
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty thirtys in Cleveland. You're gonna get to

762
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: thirty sustained winds with gust in the forty maybe even

763
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: the fifties, which is why that total is at thirty one.

764
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: Between the Saints and the Browns. So yeah, low scoring

765
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: game obviously makes points more to premium and uh, the

766
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: wind I think it's gonna hurt the Bengals more. I

767
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: think they're just a tad overvalued here. So I grabbed

768
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 1: the hook with the home dog here in the lowest total,

769
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: you remember, yeah, there's there's there was some thirty trying

770
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: to think thirty one. There was some thirty and a half.

771
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: I think like in the early two thousand's with like

772
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: some of the Bears teams that just had dominant defenses

773
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: like Ron Rivera. No offense, yeah, no offense at all,

774
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: great defense and end it would be in Chicago late

775
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: in the year with the wind um. But this is, yeah,

776
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: this is as low as you're gonna see. I'd imagine

777
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: that total and that Bills windstorm cold game against the

778
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: Patriots finished pretty low. But thirty one maybe mid thirties,

779
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: thirty five maybe five and a half is there are

780
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: some games probably that are approached that in the first

781
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: half total, right, So you know the game of the

782
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: year or you know the game of the year would

783
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: be strong going into probably the last month. We've been

784
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: talking about this game for a while and now the

785
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys ship the bed a little bit. You know, that

786
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: was a pretty devastating loss. That kind of changes their

787
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: ability to potentially win this division, even though statistically if

788
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: Philly will lose out and they win out that they

789
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: control their own destiny. But Philly's missing their quarterback. It

790
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: looks like the one thing with Dallas their defense the

791
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, man, you can just score on,

792
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: especially last week. Now, Trevor Lawrence is obviously much better

793
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: than Gardner minshew, But if you know, one thing that

794
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna like if Jalen was in this game

795
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: was athleticism, being able to kind of avoid the past rushing.

796
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: He plays alive and in their secondary you can just

797
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: kind of slice and base him and A J. Brown

798
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: and DeVante are fucking monsters and Godard's back. Well, mints

799
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: you it's been a little while, but I mean, isn't

800
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: that kind of his game kind of running, run around,

801
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: scrambling around, slinging it Now, who knows, he hasn't played

802
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: in a long time. But I think I kind of

803
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: like Filly in this spot. But maybe that's just because

804
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: Dallas the last couple of weeks feels a little lifeless. Now.

805
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: I know they were up twenty seven to ten in

806
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: that game. But part of the reason you can come

807
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: back on him because you can score. I mean, this

808
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: was a team that their defense felt like the Niners

809
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: denver them and they are a shell of themselves right now.

810
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: So I I just do not trust Alice. I I

811
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: couldn't bet on them. Yeah, I took Dallas here reluctantly,

812
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: but I just kind of think, knowing the the Eagles

813
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff is throw Yeah, I don't. I think that

814
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: they're they don't care about this game. They're not gonna

815
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: show anything that's I don't I think Hurts could easily

816
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: play and they're saying, look, we're probably gonna have to

817
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: either face Dallas or San Francisco again. And one of

818
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: the reasons they had so much success in the first

819
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: meeting credit they played Cooper Rush, is that Hurts Hurts

820
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: his athleticism and the read option and just putting you know,

821
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and whoever's on the edge and just using

822
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: their aggressive against them now when she's not gonna be

823
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: able to do that and they're gonna have to run

824
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: a different offense here. But like, I don't think they're

825
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna play God or I wouldn't be surprised if they

826
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: rest other people. They don't. I don't. I just don't

827
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: think that they want to get Dallas a second look

828
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: at their offense. Um, they're just they want to stay

829
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: healthy Dallas. We have to win out. I mean, look, look,

830
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles have home games coming up against the Saints

831
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: and the Giants, and if Dallas wins out, they just

832
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: have to win one of those two games. So yeah,

833
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: I think that they're plunning this game. And then you

834
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: know it's obviously a good Bilo spot on Dallas. One

835
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: was lost at the Texans, then they lose to Jacksonville,

836
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: and now this is like their Super Bowl. Playing the

837
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: Eagles at home. You're gonna get an all out effort

838
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: from Dallas at home, and then I think you're gonna

839
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: get almost just lacks a daisical vanilla. We're not showing anything.

840
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: We're not going all out. Um, if we're down late,

841
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: I don't care. Um, So yeah, I'm taking a little

842
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: bit of a stab here. And how I think this

843
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: is gonna play out. So I don't see the son

844
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: of value of the number of hurts even if Hurts

845
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: is out. But um, yeah, I think like the Eagles

846
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: are almost hunting this in a way, which is crazy.

847
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be the most hyped game of the weekend,

848
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: and the division is technically still alive, and you could

849
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: clinch the one seed with a win. But um yeah,

850
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't think Hurts is playing, and I don't think

851
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: maybe a couple others will. And one team is playing

852
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: for their Super Bowl and the other team is just

853
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,919
Speaker 1: gonna say we have bigger goals to worry about, which

854
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: is pretty well. But I think that's how it's gonna

855
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: play out. And I could be dead wrong have many

856
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: times before with um yeah, I think that's how that's

857
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: how it's gonna play Well, that's what sucks. Like the

858
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: reality is of the two afternoon games, the nine or

859
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: Washington game, there's more on the line, right The Diners

860
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: are chasing Minnesota. All it takes for them to stop

861
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: up in Washington's playing for their playoff live. So that's

862
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: a game where both teams are really investing. Like you

863
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: said with the Eagles, like they're incentivized to beat the

864
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: Saints because they own their pick, right and the Giants

865
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: and the Giants you've seen that matchup before. I mean

866
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: Georgsky could play quarterback for them, and that that'd be

867
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: a tough matching for the Giants. So yeah, I'm with you. Now,

868
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: who knows by then they might have the number one seed,

869
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: so they could throw that. But that's a weird spot, right,

870
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: because if you throw that game and rest everyone, you're

871
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: taking technically taking fourteen days off before you play, and

872
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: then you let teams like San Francisco, Minnesota, whoever, you know,

873
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: kind of keep rolling. It's it's kind of a weird spot.

874
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: We saw historically the Colts do it sometimes in the

875
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning arrow, Right, do you rest people when you

876
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: have a buy and then you kind of come out slow.

877
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer,

878
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: but really that Saints game is basically for the one seed.

879
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: They win that thing, it's over. Yeah, to Sirianni, from

880
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: everything that he said in the past and things that

881
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: he's done the past, he's all about he's on the

882
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: health side, like just we want to stay healthy and

883
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: on the flip side. I think Shadahan came out this

884
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: week and said he he's on the other end of

885
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: the spectrum. He says, look, it's you know, it's a

886
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: couple of hours on every week, and if you start

887
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: resting guys, then um, those are the guys that tend

888
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: to play worse on your first playoff game and come

889
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: out rusty. So um, yeah, it's it's interesting, you know.

890
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: The one the one argument in favor of taking the

891
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: restaurute is that if you do get an injury to

892
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: a key player that is will kill you. And it

893
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: is still up in the air, but I do think

894
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: that I would prefer to at least I think just

895
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: from anecdotally, I've seen teams that don't rest fair better overall. Um,

896
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: but um, you can make an argument for either way.

897
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: But I think that's the Eagles approach. But yeah, then yeah,

898
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: the with the Saints pick too throws another mention into it.

899
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting game theory approached by the Eagles

900
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: and cure to see what they do the rest of

901
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: the way. If we assume somehow the Giants, you know,

902
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: just hold, and they obviously have the lead position for

903
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: the sixth seed, who would you play your money on

904
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: to be the NFC seventh seed right now? Seventh seed

905
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: in the NFC. I mean I probably with odds, I'd

906
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: probably take the Packers. I'm I'm hoping that week a

907
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: team game is the Sunday Night winner get in Jared

908
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: Goff Dan Campbell at Lambeau. You know the NFL would

909
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: that be a lot the Jags game, No chance Tennessee

910
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: would get that spot. And I think there's one other

911
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: game Jets, even in Miami. There there was no way

912
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers, if it's a winner get in game,

913
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: would not get Sunday Night, right, Yeah, I mean yeah,

914
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: because look, the lines are playing well and it could

915
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: come down to that game. But Aaron Rodgers at home,

916
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be like you know, five degrees reason,

917
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: which isn't great for golf, but uh yeah. The only

918
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 1: thing is if there's another game, another NFC wild card

919
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: game that could with another team that could get in,

920
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: then you have to play them at the same time time.

921
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: And then the game that will probably get flexed is

922
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: um Ravens Bengals, which would be it's most likely going

923
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: to be for the division, assuming the Ravens beat the

924
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: Falcons and Steelers at home the next two weeks. But yeah,

925
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: it's like Washington's is at Sant fran that this week.

926
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: They're now talking about bringing Carson Wentz back in so

927
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: you assume that's a loss, and um, yeah, it's gonna

928
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: come down to if if green Bank can take care

929
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,479
Speaker 1: of business in Miami this week, the NFC is gonna

930
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: get really interesting. But I think the NFC will be

931
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: much to two teams that I really want to see

932
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: get in. I want to see the Jags get in,

933
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: and look if Tennessee loses, I mean, they're only a

934
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: four point favorite at home, and it's hut the Texans

935
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: this week. Now it looks like Tannehill is going to

936
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: be out. But even if if they win that game,

937
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: if they lose next week to UM to Dallas and

938
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville just goes one and one over the next two weeks,

939
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: then that week eight team game is for the division

940
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville place Houston next week. So yeah, I'd

941
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: like this. I mean, did the Texans, I mean, the

942
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: Titans just have so many injuries that in the and

943
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: the Jacks are trending up and I'd like to see

944
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: them get in. And then I'd like to see either

945
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: Lions or Packers get in, um over Washington or the Giants.

946
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: I just think that those teams could potentially give some

947
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: of the higher seeds a bigger fight. I I definitely agree. Well, stucky,

948
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy Honukah, have a good weekend. Uh, enjoy

949
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: some booze some family, and I will talk to you

950
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: next week. Yeah, Merry Christmas and uh happy holidays and

951
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: good luck on all of your wagers. Okay, let's answer

952
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: a couple of quick mail back questions. Add John Middlecoffe's Instagram.

953
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: Fire in those d ms. Easy to get answered here

954
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: on the show. We'll go quick. Don't want to keep

955
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: this podcast too long because we got family, we got

956
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: presents to wrap. I wanted to thank you for making

957
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: my delivery job less poring. I appreciate Jimmy. It's been

958
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: no secret that Colin has on a big part of

959
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: getting more listeners, and I appreciate him picking you up

960
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: on the volume. I just wanted to know how you

961
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: originally got on his radar and what would you suggest

962
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: to young people that want to get noticed by more

963
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: famous people in order to further their career. Thanks. We

964
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: met through Twitter. Uh, this was back when Twitter I

965
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: think was probably easier to just have normal interactions. My

966
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: guests would be probably two thousand thirteen or two fourteen.

967
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: I used to go on his radio show on ESPN. Um. Yeah,

968
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: we just kind of met that way. And I started

969
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: doing a podcast for him well before the volume, So

970
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: I was doing a podcast for him starting in two

971
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen. Um, I came up with a name. It was,

972
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, his idea. He's like, you want to do one?

973
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: I said sure, and then he's like, yeah, just do it,

974
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: and we just started doing it. Uh. But yeah, I

975
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: just met him through social media. I think it's probably

976
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: a little more difficult that way now. Granted, like at

977
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: the time, I just a the NFL so as former

978
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: NFL scout, He's buddies with Andy Reid, Like there were

979
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: some connections there, you know, to like make me more

980
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: credible probably in his world, Um, but I don't. My

981
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: My advice always is is to LinkedIn d M people

982
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: or Instagram DM people. I would be aggressive in the

983
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: d M s. I think that's the best way to

984
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: to approach it. Why does m VP not actually go

985
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: to the most valuable player? It goes to who the

986
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: media wants the stories around, right, I would argue Herbert

987
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: has been the most valuable player this year, charge has

988
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: been the most Injurbert team. Herbert has been a top

989
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: five passing leader all season, currently number two behind my Homes,

990
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: and not a single Charges receiver is in the top

991
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: twenty in yards. He has less than a competent head

992
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: coach and an o C has now set up the

993
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: Chargers to be in the playoffs and is a wild

994
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: card team that is no division leader wants to face.

995
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: If not Herbert, then I would say it's Tyreek Kill

996
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: who has to be super valuable to the Dolphins, or

997
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: maybe Dick Boza, who has been the most dominant individual

998
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: in my mind, but none of the three will even

999
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: be and consider in the conversation, Yeah, I think what

1000
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: the m v P and the Heisman Trophy has become

1001
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: is basically the best quarterback on one of the best teams.

1002
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: And that's why it's gonna be Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen

1003
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: or Patrick Mahomes. Now with Jalen injured, is gonna be

1004
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: one of those two guys. And obviously every single year,

1005
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Alabama quarterback, the Ohio State quarterback,

1006
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: the USC quarterback, the Georgia quarterback. Like that's just it's

1007
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 1: no longer going to be anything else but those guys.

1008
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: Eddie George is never winning the m v P again.

1009
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: It's just I'm I'm with you. I wish it would

1010
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: be more open ended. At least in the NBA, like

1011
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: seven eight guys have a chance to get it. Now

1012
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: it's different because they all play like the star player,

1013
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: which is the equivalent of the quarterback. Like Janice could

1014
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: get it, Yo, kids could get it. Steph could get it.

1015
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant could get it. You know, if Anthony Davis

1016
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: could just stay on the court, maybe he could get it.

1017
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: But football, it's like, yeah, it's gonna be one of

1018
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: the top two or three quarterbacks on a team that

1019
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: wins third team plus games. I hear you. I don't

1020
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: like it much either, big fan of the pot. I

1021
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: was looking at news articles on bull bound packed twelve

1022
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: teams and saw they had a good amount of players

1023
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: entering the transfer portal. But they weren't just freshmen complaining

1024
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: about playing time like usual, but actual high quality starters.

1025
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: It seems like with the development of n I L

1026
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: and lack of transfer regulations the m c double, a

1027
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: load of mere mid tier programs are now talent forms

1028
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: for bigger programs. Is there really any chance for smaller

1029
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: programs to win? If this continues to happen. I don't know,

1030
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, I I went to Rivals because today signing

1031
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: Day and looked at the transfer portal. I think you

1032
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: see a lot of things going both ways. You see

1033
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: guys from Alabama going to lesser schools. I saw a

1034
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: guy transfer I think from Alabama went to Kansas. I

1035
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: might have it messed up, but I think you saw

1036
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: some of those. Clemson goes to u c l A.

1037
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: A guy left Oregon to go to the University of Arizona.

1038
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot has to do one with money

1039
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: and two new coaches. Sometimes schemes don't fit the guy.

1040
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think all the guys that are leaving

1041
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: pack twelve schools or n I L. I think some

1042
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: of them are simply new coaching staffs. We have a

1043
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: lot of new coaches, right, Dan Landings new obviously, Washington,

1044
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: Washington state of new coaches. Arizona Jed Fishes relatively new.

1045
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: Arizona State has a new coach, coach Primes new Lincoln

1046
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: Riley's new. So I think that plays a bigger role

1047
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: that sometimes sometimes when you see a guy transfer, Obviously

1048
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys that just get paid, right, if

1049
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: I'm a really good player in a big school wants me,

1050
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: I'll go there. I'll get paid, and I'll try to

1051
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: become a better NFL draft prospect. But I think, like

1052
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: Justin Flow, who's transferring from Oregon to Arizona, I just

1053
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: don't think Oregon wanted him, and a couple of years

1054
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: ago he was one of the bigger recruits Mario got

1055
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: So I think it. I think we underestimate and I'm

1056
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: sure some of these guys are gonna leave Colorado. Dion's

1057
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna tell him, you're never gonna play here. Dog, it's

1058
00:54:55,120 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: over leave. But in college, unlike the NFL, I can't

1059
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: cut you like I just can't cut you if you

1060
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: aren't if you're academically eligible. So if you're in good

1061
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: academic standing, I have to write it out if you

1062
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: want to stay now, I don't have to play you,

1063
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: but I have to honor your scholarship. So that that's

1064
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: where it gets a little complicated, where you hope you

1065
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: can just kind of shame them you're never gonna play here,

1066
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: and they'll naturally leave. But I would I wouldn't overestimate

1067
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: the the guys at smaller schools, Like a guy at

1068
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: Washington State transferring just because of the money. Sometimes it

1069
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: might just because of coaching, because if you're a human being,

1070
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 1: but you probably got some close friends on the team.

1071
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: Now there is a level of Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia,

1072
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 1: those schools call it's hard to turn them down, right

1073
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: if you're at a quote unquote mid tier Power five.

1074
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: But I think all these situations do not fall into

1075
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: the same umbrella. Okay, I'll get in the last question.

1076
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: I love the show, haven't missed an episode. I appreciate it.

1077
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: My question in regarding to your take on Brady potentially

1078
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: leaving Tampa and going to another team. If he does

1079
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: leave and chooses not to retire, why would he go

1080
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: to the Raiders? The a f C has top to

1081
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: bottom way more talented, especially him going up against Herbert

1082
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: Mahomes twice a year, and even if he does make

1083
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs in that division, you have the Bengals, Ravens,

1084
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: Bills to worry about. Wouldn't the NFC make more sense,

1085
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: especially given the most of the playoffs team Uh likely?

1086
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: Uh let me rephrase it, especially given that he most

1087
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: likely will make the playoffs with a losing record this

1088
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: year and host a playoff game. I don't see him

1089
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: as a guy to shy away from a challenge. But

1090
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: I think one reason he stayed in Tampa and extra

1091
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: years because he looked down in the NFC and saw

1092
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: promising path to Super Bowl run. Okay, you bring up

1093
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 1: a good point. The connection the Raiders was simply Vegas

1094
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: money and Josh McDaniels. So they run the offense, which

1095
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: obviously matters to tomp I heard someone bring this up.

1096
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: I forget too. What about the New York Giants? What

1097
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: about next year? Brian Dable? The New York Giants, Like

1098
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: you said, NFC much more wide open that team. Now

1099
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: they would need to add some weapons. Uh. But the Jets,

1100
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: even though it would actually make sense, right, the team

1101
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: is really good. Would he do that to Robert Craft

1102
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: feels like he wouldn't. And I wonder if the Giants,

1103
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, his kids there now that he has a

1104
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: divorce a little more complicated with all the other kids.

1105
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: Um to me, the pushback if he doesn't go to

1106
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: Vegas is he doesn't want to come west because he's

1107
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: so far away from his his kid. I think Jack

1108
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: that lives in in New York. Uh and once the

1109
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: one thing Vegas has that he's gotten used to, and

1110
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: I can't imagine when you're used to paying high taxes

1111
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: and then you pay zero income tax. Vegas would also

1112
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: be pretty intriguing there. But I think Josh at it's

1113
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: pretty well documented through our eyes through stories like him

1114
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: and Josh are pretty close. And I think the bumps

1115
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: in the road this year offensively, he's gonna want someone

1116
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: that knows what he's doing. Offensively, Josh McDaniels, Brian Dable.

1117
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: So the knock on Kyle Shanahan, Kyle's Shanahan's offense does

1118
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 1: demand some movement. Now, you don't need to be Kyler Murray,

1119
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: but you have to do boots and waggles and naked's

1120
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: like where you fake to hand off and scramble back

1121
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: the other way and throw on the run. That ain't

1122
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: Tom now, you know me. I'm like, hey, coaches, you

1123
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: gotta figure it out at forty six years old, like, listen,

1124
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: we were all wrong. I shorted Brady three years ago,

1125
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: like Kyle Shanahan did, like a lot of teams did.

1126
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: Or excuse me, I I shorted, yeah, shorted Brady like

1127
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: all those guys did. I would probably shot him again

1128
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: this time like it's over and if he has one

1129
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: good season, so be it. But I'm not changing my

1130
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: entire offense for a forty six year old. That's just

1131
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: Adam Vinitary played at forty six. He's a kicker like

1132
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: this is this is it's I see um a blow

1133
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: average player. Now you can argue the offensive line. Oh fine,

1134
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: And I think Tom Brady is the greatest player of

1135
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: all time, but athletically he doesn't want any part of

1136
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: getting hit. I don't blame him. Who wants to get

1137
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: hit it forty years old? Uh? I would shy away.

1138
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: I would say the Giants. I kind of go back

1139
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: and forth. I think he might retire, but then sometimes

1140
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: maybe he won't retire. Who knows, I mean, I have

1141
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: no clue, but he's clearly gonna leave Tampa. The only

1142
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: question is if he does stay, where does he go?

1143
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: Probably a short list of places, right, I would say

1144
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: Vegas would be one. I would say the Giants would

1145
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: clearly be interested. I would imagine the Jets would be

1146
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: interested in well, even though they also run the Shanahan offense.

1147
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: But can they really If Tom Brady wanted to come

1148
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: to Jets and Jets would have a choice they'd have

1149
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: to sign them and figure it out. Appreciate everyone listening.

1150
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, even though I'll talk to

1151
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: you before the New Year and UH, enjoy the weekend,

1152
