1
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John middlecoff Free and Out

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: podcast on this at least where I am gloomy, rainy,

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: little chili day that in the business of football is

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: known as black Monday. We already had a lot of

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: coaches that have been fired. We had a couple more

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: openings happened today. John Elway has thrown kind of his

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: hat in the ring. He gave himself a promotion. So

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: now they're gonna have a GM, which it's rare in

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: the NFL to have a GM job where you get

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: to pick the coach and pick the players. That's that's

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: a really good job. Gonna kind of dive in off

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the top with the with the openings, then a lot

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: of other stuff really quick. I gotta hit on the

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: tanking and the issue that happened with Doug Peterson on Sunday,

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: and where of course the media got it wrong, the

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: expanded playoffs, and listen, who knows how it's gonna look

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday, but on paper it's already a

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: a major success. Uh. Nick Saban has turned Alabama into

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: the Betty Ford Clinic where you change your life for

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: the better and come out the irony there Stark did

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: have a drinking problem, but he wasn't the first to

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: rehab himself and he clearly won't be the last. There

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: have been some names that have surfaced to fill in

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: for Stark. It's incredible with what Nick Saban and Alabama

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: the Program have done two people's career and helping getting

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: people back on track. Uh. I did a little thing

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: where I just wrote down the best performance, the craziest story,

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: the most shocking story, the leak's least shocking story from

29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: the year. UH. Some thoughts on TOA and maybe we'll

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: just hit on some other things. Of course. The Middlecoff

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: mailbag at John Middlecoff is my Instagram handle. Slide up

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,520

Speaker 1: got a million d ms that I'm not gonna be

34

Speaker 1: able to answer them all the day, but I'll get

35

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: also subscribe to UH to the podcast separate from Collins

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Feed three and out podcast. Leave a review would be

39
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: greatly appreciated, greatly appreciated. Thanks you do everyone that has.

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: But let's start with this job openings and the NFL.

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I would say, the average NFL franchise, they never truly

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: go on the open market, like it's just tem X,

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: Like the Carolina Panthers weren't really on the open market

44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: because the league controls who gets to buy, you know,

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: the business, who gets to buy the franchise, Like David

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Tepper was already a minority owner. It kind of it

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: works like that. In the leagues. They don't let people

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: from the outside in, and if they do, they've hand

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: picked you. It's a country club of the richest people

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: in America slash the world. The NBA is a little

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: more worldly the the NFL is domestic. But you gotta

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of money, right. We just saw David

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Tepper spend whatever two point four billion paid cash. Uh.

54
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: The last several owners in all pro sports have had

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: an ungodly amount of money, whether it's Steve Baumer, whether

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: it's David Tepper, Like the cost of running these Frances

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: the buying in point is two to five billion. I mean,

58
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: if the if the Niners, if the Packers, if the Steelers,

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: let alone the Cowboys, the Eagles, Washington ever just truly

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: hit the open market, we all know that the number

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: would be much higher. Than that of the Forbes list.

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: And the most important person, we say it all the

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: time in a franchise is the owner because he can

64
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: either be hands off, he can control things that he shouldn't,

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: he can take a step back, he can do whatever.

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, he's the guy

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: signing the checks. Well, I think with technology the check

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: there is no such thing as a check anymore. It

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: all gets direct deposited, but the money's all He controls

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: all the cash. But then, to me, the most important

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: person in your organization is the head coach, even more

72
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: than the quarterback. Now, the Packers, for example, a couple

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: of years ago, was unique because it wasn't a job

74
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers at thirty five years old, most jobs,

75
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: even the chiefs. When when Andy got there and ultimately

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: like Mahomes got to his team is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes out Andy Reid. You know, I don't know now

78
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the charger job is a fantastic job because of Justin Herbert,

79
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: but they didn't win with Anthony Lynn, and Anthony Lynn

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: had been into the plast before. The head coach in

81
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: the NFL is the equivalent of a CEO on these

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: fortune companies, and unlike the fortunate five hardred companies that

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: I can pay a guy, you know, let's say five

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: to twenty million and give all these guys bonuses, but

85
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: he kind of lived year to year as a head coach.

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: I signed a four year, five year, six year contract

87
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: at usually between seven to twelve million dollars. We saw

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: how much Matt Rule got last year. We see how

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: much some of these college guys are getting. Kyle Shanahan

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: last year sent an extension of like ten million per

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick. It's get

92
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: making massive CEO level money because they are worth it.

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Because us, they are worth every penny. And when you

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: either cut corners or hired the wrong guy to be

95
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: your coordinator, or I mean, excuse me, your head coach,

96
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: your franchise is gonna have issues. It's it's really that simple.

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: The head coach can change your franchise. Obviously the quarterback

98
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: can too, but I can take a great quarterback with

99
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: a shitty head coach and you will lose. Look at

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns my entire adult life. They've been a

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: laughing stock them And like the Raiders and the Lions.

102
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: We just constantly make fun of because they always suck.

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: They had good players last year and they were a

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: joke with Freddy Kitchens. This year, they hired Kevin Stefanski

105
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: and what happens eleven games during the playoffs and Kevin

106
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: Stefanski's probably, you know, underpaid. Let's say they've given him

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: six and a half seven million dollars the moment he

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: gets to the playoffs, especially the franchise like that. What

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: it means your fan base, the amount of money it

110
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: means your owner. I mean, he's a ten million dollar guy.

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: And when I look at all these openings, like the

112
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: league in baseball and basketball, the gms have a lot

113
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: of juice. In baseball, they run the game. In basketball,

114
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: they have a ton of power. There's a small percentage

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: of coaches in basketball that truly have a lot of juice,

116
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: and it shrinks every year. In football, the coach has

117
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: all the juice, even if he's not picking his roster.

118
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: He controls the game no matter what the general manager

119
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: is telling him. He controls game day. The general manager

120
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: has zero control on the most important day of the week,

121
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: and that's Sunday in the NFL. And when I look

122
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: at these jobs, and I've seen a lot of things

123
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: thrown out. What jobs the best? What jobs not the best?

124
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Here's what I know. But all these franchises, whether it's

125
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: the Lions, Atlanta, the Texans, the Jags, the Jets, or

126
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: the Chargers, if they hire the right coach and get

127
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: a guy that becomes a top ten coach, they will

128
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: dramatically impact the amount of money that franchise is worth,

129
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: the popularity of that franchise. They will be in the playoffs.

130
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: You can hit on draft picks, A lot of shitty

131
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: teams hit on draft picks and nothing changes. When you

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: get the coach right, you win. And when you win,

133
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: cha ching. Now the great part about the NFL, unlike

134
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: some of the other sports, you don't have to win

135
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: to make money. If you own a team in the league,

136
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: you get guaranteed cash through the media deal, but you win.

137
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Do you know how much money Robert Craft or excuse me,

138
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Belichick made Robert Craft by all those home playoff games.

139
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Do you how much money the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, Seattle has made over the last decade just

141
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: winning all the time going to the playoffs. You know

142
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: how much extra revenue that generates you the popularity that

143
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: means to your franchise. I just saw it last year

144
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: in a one year run with the forty, Niners went

145
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, boom awoke one of the biggest

146
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: fan base in the league. It is so lucrative to

147
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: win in the NFL. If you ever cut corners with

148
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: your head coach or coaching staff, you're a loser and

149
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: your franchise deserves everything it has going for it because

150
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: it's not shocking that the same coach is consistently winning

151
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: the league. And when I if I had to rank

152
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the jobs, I think, by far the number one job

153
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL, the number one job opening excuse me,

154
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL is the I almost called him San

155
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: Diego char Is the Chargers. I was thinking about this

156
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: yesterday when I was watching I just I watched the

157
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: red Zone basically all day week seventeen. I had like

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: a game on the second TV, but I was I

159
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: just watched the red Zone because most of the games

160
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: whatever didn't matter. There wasn't that much drama. I guess

161
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: I watched the Niner game, but the Raider game for

162
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: me wasn't on locally, so it was just ins and

163
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: outs of that part of the game. And or excuse me,

164
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers were playing the Chiefs, not that the Raider game.

165
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: They were playing the Denver Broncos and some of the

166
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: plays that Herbert and I've watched Herbert the majority of

167
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: a season, the chances that Trevor Lawrence is as good

168
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: as Justin Herbert to me feel slim. I've been watching

169
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: the the NFL now for over a decade. To pay

170
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: the ells, and I don't know if I've ever seen

171
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Andrew Luck, I'd have to go back and look.

172
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: But the physical tools with Andrew Lucker, he just didn't

173
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: have this arm. Now, he was probably a better overall player,

174
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, just in terms of his touch, But Justin

175
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Herbert to me, wasn't that far behind. Justin Herbert was

176
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic. And their roster is good. I know. A

177
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, someone sent me a picture of

178
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: like an Instagram, uh kind of staff thing that said

179
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers were the only team in the league in

180
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: the top ten of offense and the top team in

181
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the top ten and defense. Their offense has guys under contracts,

182
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: including a young quarterbacks on a rookie deal, I don't

183
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: see how they are not by a mile the number

184
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: one job on the market. Now the owner has been

185
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: cheap before. Uh that that is something that you know

186
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: that it can be an issue. But they can own

187
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: that market because the reality is, it's not like one

188
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: thing with the Clippers, for example, in the Lakers. The

189
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Clippers will never be the Lakers. They have no chance.

190
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: But let's not act like the Rams are that big

191
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: a deal. They play the same fucking stadium, So what

192
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: the Rams on it? Do you think the average fifteen

193
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: year old cares If Justin Herbert is fantastic and who

194
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: coach X comes and they start going to the playoffs

195
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: all the time, they are just cooler than anything mcveay

196
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: can do with GoF Like, you can own that market

197
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: or at least gain a lot of market share, which

198
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers can't do because the Rams just don't matter.

199
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: So to me, when you factor in Justin Herbert, you

200
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: factor in that roster, I don't even think it's close.

201
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Then I would put the Jets second. It's New York.

202
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: That's why I put him over Jacksonville. And we'll get

203
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: into Jacksonville in a second. It's the most prestigious market

204
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: in America. It has the most people. Sports matter a

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: lot in New York. Now the Jets aren't the Giants,

206
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: but the moment they're good, they immediately matter for the

207
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: landscape of the league. You go on primetime all the

208
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: time and you have a lot of people watching your game.

209
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: The division, it has one franchise quarterback right now to

210
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: who will get into a little bit later. The Patriots

211
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: don't have one. They have Josh Allen. So you have

212
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: a general manager who was well respected around the league,

213
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: has a track record of picking good players when he

214
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia, and just know what he's doing. And

215
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: they have a ton of money. But to me, the

216
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: market that matters. I saw Kyle Shanahan on his on

217
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: his like postseason press conference say something he said. Listen,

218
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: he said, I'm going on my fourth year here and

219
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: it's the longest I've ever been in one spot. But

220
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: I can say one thing about the forty Niners that

221
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: I can't say about all my other spots that I've coached.

222
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: Forty Niners matter and in certain franchises, right the Steelers,

223
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Patriots, the Packers, the Cowboys. Like I

224
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: think he's like he coached the Houston Texans. They'll never

225
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: sniff the Dallas Cowboys. He coached for the Atlanta Falcons.

226
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: College football is bigger in that region. Like you coach

227
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: for the Jets. College sports don't matter in New York.

228
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: It's the Jets. And they got Sam Donald. You can

229
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: trade him. You got the number two overall pick. You

230
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of wiggle room. I think that's multiple

231
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: first round picks. To me, that's the second best job.

232
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: Third would be the Jacks. Now they have a lot

233
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: going for They have a ton of picks, they have

234
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: a ton of cap space, and they have a shot

235
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: at Trevor Lawrence. But I'm sorry, the owner, who has

236
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: a lot of money and who's clearly a really good businessman,

237
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: consistently loses when it comes to owning pro sports. All

238
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: his teams in soccer and you know across the pond,

239
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: they get uh relegated, basically loose the Jags. On top

240
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: of being the most irrelevant franchise in the league, probably

241
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: top five in all of sports, they just do not matter.

242
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: They do not matter. So like it's not a very

243
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: prestigious job. Now they can pay and you have assets.

244
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: You're also in a division with the Colts, who are

245
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: one of the most well run organizations in the league.

246
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: If they get a good quarterback, it's on their super Bowl,

247
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, competitor. You have the Tennessee Titans vrabel Is,

248
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, big time, they're going no but nowhere

249
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of their good players under contract. And then

250
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: the Texans, who are better than you, have a franchise

251
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: quarterback that, unlike Trevor Lawrence, who we all think is

252
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna be really good, is good, is dominant elite. So

253
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: if they just get some directions, that division is really hard.

254
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just not as fired up on the

255
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: Jags everyone else. I like prestigious markets. I like big

256
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: boy markets. I like places where you matter. But that's

257
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: just me. Uh. The Texans, like I said, they have

258
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson going for him. That's something that just the Falcons.

259
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: And then if Stafford wants out, they don't have. Having

260
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson under contract is a positive. The negatives no

261
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: cap space, no first or second round picks. You probably

262
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: gotta trade JJ Watt, who's kind of the heart and

263
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: soul your team. They got a lot of issues, But

264
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: if you're one positive redeeming quality is your starting young quarterback.

265
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: I can live with it now. Jack Eastern the preacher,

266
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: power hungry? Who is he? Is he one of those preachers?

267
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: You know, I always get a little uncomfortable and listen,

268
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: you're talking. You're I guess you're listening, not talking. I'm

269
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: talking to about it. The least religious human you'll ever meet.

270
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: But I've always get uncomfortable. I've been to different you know,

271
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: uh churches. My brother is married to someone who's very religious,

272
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: and you go to some of these churches a lot

273
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: of money and the you know, the preacher rolls up

274
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: and you know, a hundred thousand dollar car, and it's like,

275
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, I just get a little like this is

276
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: a little shady. And that's kind of what easter By

277
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: feels like. There's some shady that's going on. You know.

278
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't like the guy leading the sermon to roll

279
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: up in a range rover. I usually got that guy

280
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: red flagged. The Atlanta Falcons they are they have a

281
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: lot of names. They just don't have a lot of

282
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: winds and they got some cap issues. Their quarterbacks. Old

283
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, one of the highest paid players in the league,

284
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: injured a lot uh Calvin Ridley is good, Dion Jones

285
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: is good. But the division, you'd say a lot of

286
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: question marks. I mean, Brady's old. The Panthers don't have

287
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback. The Saints, I mean, their team is infinitely

288
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: better than yours. But Drew Brees is probably gonna retire

289
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: after this year, So could you make a step? Uh?

290
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: The owner of the city and the market are all

291
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: positives to me. The roster is a pretty big negative.

292
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: They do have the fourth pick in the draft, so

293
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: that's you could draft a quarterback. You could trade Matt Ryan.

294
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: You do have some options there, but it's a pretty

295
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: big rebuild, you know. Uh. Thomas de Meetroff, who I've

296
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: met a couple of times. Personally, He's been really cool

297
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: to me. I have nothing bad to say about him

298
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: as a guy, but his drafting was clearly pretty hit

299
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: or miss and left him in a little bit of

300
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: a weird spot. And then I got the Lions last. Uh,

301
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: they just never win. You know, I'm thirty six years old,

302
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: all I when I think about the Lions, I just

303
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: think losers and Thanksgiving Day football, in which they also

304
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: lose the two best players in the history of the franchise.

305
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Both retired at thirty. They just hired Chris Fieldman, which

306
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: the Spielman's are well respected in football, but like, do

307
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: I gotta answer to him? Is he got the owners here?

308
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: That's always weird. I don't really like that. And then

309
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: I saw watching UH football on Sunday they show him

310
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline talking to like the president. It's just like,

311
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, a lot's going on there. I got the

312
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: lot and Matt Stafford probably wants to go. I got

313
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: the Lions by far the worst job, so I'm gonna go. Chargers,

314
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Jags, the Texans, Atlanta and Lions would

315
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: be my ranking for the job openings. Okay, I don't

316
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: want to spend too much time on this because by

317
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: the time you've listened to this. It's why I don't

318
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: spend too much time on this podcast breaking down the

319
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: games from Sunday because I'm already forty hours removed. So

320
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend, you know, more than five minutes

321
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: on Doug Peterson and what happened on Sunday night. But

322
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I just one philosophy I've always had, and it's it's

323
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: easier said than done. But I think so many people

324
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: are obsessed with other people. You see it in relationships, right.

325
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: The couple is always trying to outdo the other couples

326
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: in their group or their friends on social media, or

327
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: do things on so social media to show their parents

328
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: and everything. Is worried about what other people think about them.

329
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: And again it's easier said than done. And I'm by

330
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: no means perfect. I'm not trying to act like I

331
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: never think about any other person or couple, but I

332
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: first and foremost try not to give a shit about

333
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: anyone else's relationship in terms of how I'm doing, Like

334
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: I try to do the best for myself with my family, girlfriend, whatever,

335
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: because you can't. You will never find happiness by trying

336
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: to do things for other people. And I don't mean

337
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: like do nice things for other people, like help people out.

338
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: I just mean if you are living your life to

339
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: get approval from your family and friends, it's gonna be

340
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: a miserable life. And I think the same works in business.

341
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: First and foremost, you have to focus on yourself and

342
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: being good at what you can do, and then you

343
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: could look at other businesses whatever industry you're in, and

344
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: somewhat copy them or what they're doing well. But you

345
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: have have to be authentic to yourself, and that, to me,

346
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: gives you the best chance to be good at whatever

347
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: you're doing. And in the NFL, having been there, worked

348
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: in it, and know a bunch of people in the league,

349
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: the best teams, the ones, and some of my friends

350
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: are lucky enough to have rings. Hell, I know a

351
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: couple with a couple. Uh, they're so focused internally, first

352
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: and foremost is their own team, their own organization, getting

353
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: it right for their own team, because at the end

354
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: of the day, their employment status is judged on their team,

355
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: not what their rivals did, not what other teams in

356
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: the conference did, not what other teams are playing do.

357
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: Obviously you get judged if you lose to that other team.

358
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying people get obsessed with what other

359
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: people are doing. The number one focused in any relationship

360
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: in any business should be yourself first and foremost. So yesterday,

361
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot about tanking. It's fun to

362
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: talk about. It doesn't really happen, not like it does

363
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: in the NBA. It's not the way it works. Yesterday

364
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson and really the Eagles and and my

365
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't have any inside information this. I think going

366
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: into the game they planned on given the guy a quarter,

367
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: and people are acting like he benched Peyton Manning or

368
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb. In his prime, Jalen Hurts had thrown for

369
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. Jalen Hurts is a backup quarterback. Technically

370
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: he's a starter now, but I think that's gonna change

371
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: this offseason. He's a backup quarterback Doug Peterson. Evan Silva

372
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: of Rhoda World tweeted out the difference of finishing sixth

373
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: and ninth when they would have finished ninth with a

374
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: win or six with a loss, is the equivalent relative

375
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Johnson's trade value chart of a third round

376
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: pick number six overall, which is really one of the

377
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: first picks in the third round. Do you think Doug

378
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Peterson gives a damn about the New York Giants, who,

379
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: by the way, one six games. So when I see

380
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: their players bitching and moaning on social media, like Golden Tate,

381
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: you were suspended for a game. The rest of you guys,

382
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: you guys were terrible. Now, you played well and you

383
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: played hard, but at the end of the day, as

384
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: Bill Parcelves would say, I don't know the most famous

385
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: coach in history of that franchise. You are what your

386
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: record says you are. So while I was impressed, I'm

387
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: sure some of you Giants fans were impressed. You want

388
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: six and ten? Six and ten, So I feel no

389
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: sympathy that I get. Why does the record matter? Because like,

390
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: I have a little more sympathy for a ten win

391
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: team that feels they got screwed than a six and

392
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: ten team. Because I have zero sympathy, and I know

393
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: for a fact the Eagles, they don't care about the

394
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: the Washington football team, the New York Giants. Once they

395
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: are eliminated from the playoffs, it is not their problem.

396
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: Do you know who else problem? It wasn't the Pittsburgh

397
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Steelers when they played the Cleveland Browns, who had to

398
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: win to get in. Do you know what they did?

399
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: They benched and sat big ben and played Mason Off

400
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: who was part of one of the worst quarterback rooms

401
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: in the history of the league last year. He stunk.

402
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: No one says anything. You know. The problem with the

403
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Eagles game is that was on Sunday Night Football. That's

404
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: an NBC problem, not an Eagles problem. That game should

405
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: have been at ten am, not Sunday night, and it

406
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: became a big issue. But if they had done that

407
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday morning, no one cares. Is everyone talking

408
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: about Mason Rudolph starting. I didn't hear a peep. They

409
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: rolled out Mason Rudolph when the integrity of the game,

410
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: the Browns had a lot to play for. No one

411
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: said anything. They did not bench Brett Farve in his

412
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: prime seventy five yards. The kid had thrown for seventy

413
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: five and we're acting like it was a felony offense.

414
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I see Salpal saying the league should investigate.

415
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 1: You know what, the league likes buzz You know what

416
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: the league likes people talking about it. You know what

417
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: the league likes a game that was unwatchable. That game

418
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: was terrible, yet people were kind of into it because

419
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: of what was on the line, and then ultimately what happened.

420
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I just pulled at the box score seventy

421
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: two yards. He threw for seventy two yards, He completed

422
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: seven passes, and we're acting like benching Jalen Hurts with

423
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: some travesty. Give me a break. Stop worrying about other people.

424
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: Take control of yourself. New York Giants. You want to

425
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, win more games. Don't go six

426
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: and ten in a division. That's a joke. You go

427
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: eight and eight, you cruise to the playoffs. Let's face it,

428
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: you would go to the playoffs the Bucks, especially the

429
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: second time playing, you would have kicked your ass. So

430
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: tanking what No, they tried to give a backup quarterback,

431
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: actually their third string quarterback. They're paying two million dollars

432
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: to some reps, and again they benched a guy seventy

433
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: two yard seven completions. That's like a to a game.

434
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: One thing that's gonna be a little bit of a

435
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: change this weekend is the extra game. You know, the

436
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: last I guess my entire life, um, the six teams,

437
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, the I guess it was four games, right,

438
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: we'd get an afternoon Saturday game, which for me on

439
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: the West Coast was one o'clock. Then we'd get an

440
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: NBC night game on Saturday night. Then we would get

441
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: a Sunday morning game and a Sunday afternoon game. Well,

442
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: this week we get two extra games. We get you know,

443
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: a nine am or ten am kickoff on Saturday afternoon

444
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: game night game, and then we get three more on

445
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: Sunday and listen, I am four expanded playoffs. I saw

446
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: in the baseball sphere people freaked out about letting more

447
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: teams in. Like, the more playoffs, the better. That's what

448
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: we care about now. And the NFL and the sport

449
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: of football and baseball and even basketball who's also expanded

450
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: their playoffs. Where they benefit is the games. The regular

451
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: season games in basketball and baseball will never matter. There

452
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: are too many. Especially in baseball you play under sixty two.

453
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: One game does not matter unless you have an injury

454
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: or whatever. But the outcome of the game, every outcome

455
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: of a football game, even as they expand next year

456
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: to potentially seventeen games, impacts your season just because of

457
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: the inventory. It's also their greatest strength. Our attention spans

458
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: have never been shorter because of technology and the way

459
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: society works. So it's like, I don't have to watch

460
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: if I had, If I'm a Yankee fan or a

461
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: Giants fan or a Dodger fan, if I miss a game,

462
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: who cares same in basketball? You're just not gonna miss

463
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: a football game if you don't have to, because they

464
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: all matter. And when they expanded the playoffs, you know,

465
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: you saw people going back and forth. Here's what I know.

466
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: The sport of football, and really any sport, but football

467
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: specifically is the greatest television product right now in America.

468
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: It's the only thing if you put on and that

469
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: you often I'm sure here, like live sports, the only

470
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: thing that matter for television live sports and news, well

471
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: news kind of. You know, some news shows, depending on

472
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: the cycle of presidential election whatever, will do huge numbers.

473
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: But like Sean Hannity, his numbers are a lot different

474
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: around the election than they are right now, say with

475
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow or whatever. Where the NBA, who is diminishing

476
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: in viewers, they have lost like their viewers just based

477
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day games in the last like three years.

478
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: It's going the other way. In baseball, it's very very fragmented.

479
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: It's become very regionalized and if your team sucks, no

480
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: one's gonna watch. We're in football, win or lose. People

481
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: are watching and the good games. Unlike the other two sports,

482
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: it's a national product because of to see, because of gambling,

483
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: just the way we consume it. You watch, if you're

484
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: a cowboy fan, you'll watch, you know, Steelers Patriots, you'll

485
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: watch if you're a Falcons fan Ram Seattle, it doesn't matter.

486
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: That's why the ratings are so massive. It's the number

487
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: one property on television. There's not a close second. It's

488
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: the only thing that you can consistently throw a good

489
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: game up and get, you know, eight figures to watch.

490
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: That can't be said in basketball, and that cannot be

491
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: said in baseball. Football run circles around those two sports

492
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: in terms of viewership. I'm not even trying to be

493
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: a hater. I watched those other two sports. The masses

494
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: do not anymore. Football has turned into the American pastime. Well,

495
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: adding an extra team to the playoffs meaning you get

496
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: two more games, meaning you get two more fan bases

497
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: involved in the playoffs. And this year it's already a

498
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: raging success. Chicago, who listen, if it was the six teams,

499
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have sniff the playoffs. They went eight and eight.

500
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: But they're in and they get to play the Saints.

501
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: They're one of the biggest markets in America. That is

502
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: a massive win for the NFL. Now, Chicago is a

503
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: great sports market, would have consumed the playoffs regardless, but

504
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: the amount of people in that general market that will

505
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: consume that playoff game will be huge in the Colts,

506
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: who I wouldn't say are probably more of a mid market,

507
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: but are a powerhouse franchise in the league. They also

508
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: got to get in the playoffs as the seven seed.

509
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: So I call the expansion of the playoffs a raging success.

510
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: You added the Colts and the Bears to your playoff field.

511
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. And at the end of the day,

512
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: all these I guess some people have been commenting, like

513
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: I say, the end of the day too much. I apologize.

514
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm working on that. I don't know if that's like

515
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: a crutch or whatever. But this weekend you get an

516
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: extra game. All these games are gonna do huge numbers.

517
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: If you can add to franchises, one a massive market,

518
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: the other a major franchise with a huge fan base,

519
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: that's a win for the league. That's how the league

520
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: pays for everything. It's why baseball is going to have

521
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: massive problems in two thousand one because the owners know

522
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: that they're not going to get people in the stands

523
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: immediately right off the bat, and they make such a

524
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: large percentage from the gate. Their television deal isn't doesn't

525
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: come close to what the NFL has in basketball. While

526
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: it's better than baseball, they make a lot of TV

527
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: money too. They still also make a lot from in

528
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: the stadium, which helps pay these massive salaries football. The

529
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: massive salaries, just to begin with, are covered by the

530
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: TV deal, so without making a penny. If all the

531
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: teams this year had not got a fan in the

532
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: in the gates, they would have lost out on money

533
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: they could have made. But they wouldn't have lost money.

534
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: They'd be fine. They are fine. They can pay the players,

535
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: they can pay the coaches, and they still make a profit.

536
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: So the NFL is humming right now because of television.

537
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: And the reason they expanded the playoffs was because of television.

538
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: The reason they're gonna add a seventeenth week is because

539
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: of television. What do you think these television networks are

540
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: telling the league, we want to buy your product. You

541
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: are the only thing that gets ten million to fifteen

542
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: to twenty million people to watch. Remember when I was

543
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: growing up, and if you're around my age and your

544
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: mid thirties or you know, forty whatever, some of the

545
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: some of the shows, like in the eighties was a

546
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: mash and then Cheers and then to Signfeld and some

547
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: of these shows, some of their you know, final seasons,

548
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: we're doing like fifty sixty seventy million people. When I'm

549
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: watching TV and see the Ted dancing show, the Mayor,

550
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: I bet it doesn't come close to a million people

551
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: watching an episode. Might do like five hundred thousand people

552
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: watching episode. It's like three or four podcasts for me.

553
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to brag or anything, but just

554
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: the world is completely changed where we used to were.

555
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Television networks used to be able to just throw a

556
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: good show Law and Order and get millions of people.

557
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way anymore. One help Netflix, you

558
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: throw a Queen's gambit, they get sixty eight million people

559
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: to watch within like a month. So all the the

560
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: Amazon Primes, the Netflix, they do well, but the television

561
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: networks don't. And who has all the football games? The

562
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: television networks. It's why the league is so valuable to them.

563
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: That's why they I'm sure they push Roger Goodell, can

564
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: we add an extra couple of playoff games? Can we

565
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: add an extra season? We want to buy that. We

566
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: want to do business with you. We will quote unquote

567
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: overpay for you because we know we can make so

568
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: much freaking money in advertising, off that extra week, off

569
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: those extra games. It's worth its weight in gold. And

570
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing here. So the expanded playoffs, even

571
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: with an eight and eight team, what's the Bears. That's

572
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: a major win for the league. It's the Colts Rivers,

573
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: big win for the league. So get ready. Like the

574
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: expanded playoffs, they're happening in the other sports, they happen

575
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's because of television. I was thinking

576
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: about this when I was growing up. It was it

577
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: was probably unique because in the early eighties, the Betty

578
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: Ford Clinic, I actually did some research on it this morning. Uh,

579
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: they created it in Palm Springs, like the first alcohol

580
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: treatment I think in America, you know, and it became

581
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: an impatient, outpatient facility in southern Palm Springs where people

582
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: went to have alcohol rehab, right if you were addicted,

583
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: if you were an alcoholic, it's where you went to

584
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: try to kick the problem. And I think over the

585
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: last definitely the last decade maybe to rehab facilities all

586
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: over America have become much more in vogue. We talk

587
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: about things a lot more. Uh, even in my generation,

588
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: it's been pretty open. You know, in the forties and

589
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: fifties and sixties and seventies, like, I just think people

590
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: just kind of sucked it up, didn't say anything, and

591
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: just try to deal with their problems, and it ruined

592
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people's lives. It clearly still ruins a

593
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: lot of lives. But there is so much help now

594
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: available if you want to seek it, or you have

595
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: the people in your life willing to kind of you know, uh,

596
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: steer you toward places where you can get help to rehab,

597
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 1: you know, whatever addiction you may have. Now me personally,

598
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't have an addictive personality. Hell, I've probably never

599
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: drank less than I have the last couple of years,

600
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of more into cannabis now. No hangovers. I hate

601
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: I hate being hungover. I despise it. And uh I

602
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: I do enjoy drinking. I just despise hangovers. I can't

603
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: can't stand them. Um, So you just you gotta find

604
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: other ways to you don't feel good. But the ultimately

605
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: my point is some people need help, some people need rehab.

606
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: That's not even arguable, it's just it's just a reality

607
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: of life. And I think Nick Saban in Alabama have

608
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: become that for coaches for a long period of time,

609
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: Like if you had something terrible happened in your coaching career,

610
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: there was no place to be saved. Your career just ended.

611
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: You became a joke. Say Belichick kinda became that. But

612
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: for the most part, he does a lot of in house.

613
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: He created Patricia McDaniels Flores like he hires these guys

614
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Ca Sarrio Pioli. His guys were made from when they

615
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: were in their twenties, right. Saban has opened his doors

616
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: to people that have hit rock bottom, absolute laughing stocks.

617
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: And and to me, Sark Lane was a laughing stock.

618
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Sark was more like a really sad story. The dude

619
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: showed up to a team meeting, wasted and got fired

620
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: the same day after he had had stuff happening. And

621
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: the iron here, I didn't bring Betty forward because of Sark.

622
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: But my point is, like Saban has become a place

623
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: to rehab your career. He changed Lane Kiffin's life. Lane

624
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: was a joke once he got fired on the tarmac.

625
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: He goes to Alabama has success and unlike Stark has

626
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: to go to a smaller universities now at all miss

627
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: and he's one of the guys in football, did I

628
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: think we hold the pretty high we got. He's one

629
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: of the better offensive coaches in the country. God, he's

630
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: one of the better recruiters. He's one of the better

631
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: guys on social media, just kind of gets it. Lane

632
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: Kiffin has come a long way. Steve Sarkisian, like again,

633
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: was removed. I'll never forget the morning when he was

634
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: fired at USC people thought he was on drugs. I've

635
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: been told by people close to him he was not drugs.

636
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: It was alcohol regardless, Like that's a pretty big issue.

637
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: He's not the first, he won't be the last coach

638
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: that drinks like that's normal. But he clearly couldn't handle

639
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: it and hit hit a spot when he got fired.

640
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: I thought there's no chance, no way, And ultimately his

641
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: career kind of got back on track. He went to Atlanta,

642
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: but then coming back to Nick Saban changed his life.

643
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: He turned down the Colorado job last year. I thought

644
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of crazy. Well, he's no idiot. He got

645
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: the Texas job. He went from within a half decade

646
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: getting fired the day of a team meeting for being

647
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: wasted to being the head coach of Texas. Now we

648
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: can go on about Texas, and I personally think it's

649
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: one of the more overrated job. But it does have

650
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: a lot going for money, resources, all that stuff. I

651
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be tough, and it's a pressure cooker.

652
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: It's expectations exceed its reality. You're the second best team

653
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: in your conference. That's always the case. Oklahoma is a

654
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: king dog especially now. The other thing is, I think

655
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: Lane's a pretty dynamic coach. I don't know that about Sark.

656
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Like I saw Sark at Washington at USC, I was like,

657
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's a pretty bold, bold

658
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: higher for Texas. But Saban rehabbed him. Saban made him

659
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: worthy of all these teams wanting to get ahold of

660
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: this guy. When Saban gives you the touch, now everyone

661
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: wants you. Remember Locksley at New Mexico, how ugly that got,

662
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: goes to Saban Boom, He's coach in Maryland. And now

663
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: two names I saw today that are gonna be in

664
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: the mix to go be Saban's offensive coordinator, Bill O'Brien,

665
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: who had a terrible firing. J. J. Watt, Deshaun Watson,

666
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Max NFL players kind of kicking them on

667
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: the way out, and Adam Gaze, who again a little

668
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: bit like Lane, kind of became the NFL version of

669
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: just a laughing stock. I would do anything in my

670
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: power if I were those two guys to get ahold

671
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: of Nick Saban because I just saw him. Lane Kiffin

672
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: is now a coach in the SEC, and I got

673
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: news for you. If Saban retires in the the next couple

674
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: of years and Lane has a little success at all,

675
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: Miss Lane Kiffin is gonna be the head coach next

676
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: head coach at Alabama. I put money on that, assuming

677
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: Davil turns it down, and I would expect him to.

678
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: So if I'm Bill O'Brien and I'm Adam Gaze and

679
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: I want to get my career back on track, I'm

680
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: begging Nick Saban for this job. I'm begging to get

681
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: into Alabama rehab because I just saw a guy that

682
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: had an alcohol problem, couldn't handle it around his team,

683
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: was removed on a Sunday morning and a team meeting

684
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: in front of his own players. Because now the head

685
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: coach of Texas. That's insane. If I would have told

686
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: you the morning that Sark got fired and everything happened,

687
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: and all the stories came out. By the end of

688
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: the decade, he'd be the head coach at Texas. You

689
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: would have said, I'm on drugs, But that's the reality

690
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: because of the power of Nick Saban and really the

691
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: power of Jimmy Sexton. But now Sark has an incredible opportunity,

692
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: just like Lane Kiffin has an incredible opportunity. Those opportunities

693
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: would not have existed if they did not go to

694
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: the Bama Saban Rehab. No chance impossible. And it's really

695
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: the only place kind of willing to hire these guys

696
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: that also has a chance to succeed. Sometimes these guys

697
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: have to go to jobs where you're not gonna win,

698
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: where you're probably gonna lose, and then your career just

699
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: stays derailed. So when I see Bill O'Brien, when I

700
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: see Adam Gates going after Nick, if I were those

701
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: two guys, I would fight the other one to get

702
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: that job, because I know for a fact I will

703
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: get another good job if I do well for Nick Saban. Okay,

704
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: let's let's do something a little fun. I picked my

705
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: favorite performance this year, the craziest story, the most shocking story,

706
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: and the least shocking story, and then just the John

707
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: grew An Award. Let's start with the best performance. And

708
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this Sunday night when I saw

709
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers tweet out that Rogers threw forty

710
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,479
Speaker 1: six touchdowns tonight. I'd have to go back and really think.

711
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: I guess it will depend on whether he how he

712
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: does in the playoffs and if he wins the championship.

713
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: It is one of the great a few seasons by

714
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: any athlete in the history of sports that I can

715
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: ever remember. Despite having you know, on the field success

716
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: last year they got to the NFC Championship game, it was,

717
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of people, including myself,

718
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 1: questioning was he regressing because he was he did not

719
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: look good in two thousand nine. Couldn't have been the

720
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: new offense. Could it have been his age, could have

721
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: been his lack of fundamentals. I think it was like

722
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: a combination of it. I just thought he was a

723
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: little lost. His numbers again, still look good. The eye

724
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: test was not even close then. And I give the

725
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: front office credit on this one. They drafted a quarterback

726
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: in the first round the same exact time at his career.

727
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: They did it to Brett Farve, who was thirty five

728
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: at the time when Aaron Rodgers was drafted, excuse me

729
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: thirty six, Brett Farve. That year, Aaron Rodgers rookie season

730
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: through twenty touchdowns and twenty nine interceptions and the team

731
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: went four and twelve. Now, if I did a deep dive,

732
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: maybe they had some injuries. I don't even remember that season.

733
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: Packer fans, you guys could give me the details. But

734
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: bottom line, that's the opposite of what Aaron Rodgers just did.

735
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: They drafted the first round quarterback, then they drafted a

736
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: running back in the second round, basically not getting him

737
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: any help. He came back and had arguably his best

738
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: season of his career. He was dominant DIVI and took

739
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: a huge step, and a big part of that is

740
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: Aaron and I vantage. There's a lot of credit too,

741
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: but him and Aaron became a dynamic duo. Aaron bought

742
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: into this offense that if you do with his talent,

743
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: it is unstoppable. It goes to the playoffs. With guys

744
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: like Jared Goff, Matt Ryan, Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Shob Kirk Cousins,

745
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is easily of the last decade and a

746
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: half best player to play in the Shanahan offense, and

747
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: he eviscerated the league absolutely dominated again. After they somewhat

748
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: tried to replace him, they drafted his air apparent, and

749
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: Aaron said, not so fast. Now. A close second on

750
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: this list would be Derrick Henry, who had one of

751
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: the great playoff runs we'd ever seen. He just ran

752
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: for two thousand yards. And I was talking to my

753
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: buddy Lewis Riddick today on phone, who's calling Titans Ravens

754
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: this week for ESPN, And I said, you know what's

755
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: crazy is he's not like running guys over and Louis like, yeah,

756
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: he's not. Really. They don't run them between like the

757
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: guard in the center. They run him on outside zone.

758
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: He has unreal feet. If he gets you in space,

759
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: he has his crazy stiff arms because he's like the

760
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: size of Shaquille O'Neil. And then what really separates the

761
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: guy is, despite being one of the biggest running backs

762
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: we've ever seen, he has elite speed. So if he

763
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: gets in green grass or green turf, he's out the

764
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: gate and he's gone two thousand yards. I think they

765
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: said on the broadcast, the first guy or the like

766
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: the last guy to lead the league in rushing back

767
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: to back years was LT and every guy in NFL

768
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: history that had led the league in rushing and back

769
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: to back years have been a Hall of Famer. Derrick Henry.

770
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: I mean, he's on his path to be a Hall

771
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: of Famer. I would say the craziest story of this

772
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: year has been Carson Wentz. Uh just how shitty he

773
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: was as a player, and he was, he was god awful.

774
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: And then he gets benched for Jalen Hurts. And maybe

775
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: it starts with Jalen Hurts the moment they draft Jalen Hurts,

776
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: Carson struggles, he gets benched, story gets leaked that he's

777
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: not happy. Jalen then has some success, the team looks better,

778
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: and then going into last Yesterday, a story comes out.

779
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say now multiple stories have

780
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: come out from Carson Wentz's behalf that said he's gonna

781
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: want a trade, that him and Doug Peterson's relationship is over.

782
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: Like one of the things Carson Wentz to me was

783
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: always known for, beside the physical talent, was like really

784
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: high character, really good guy. And then he refuses to

785
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: speak to the media on Monday, like to me Monday

786
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: would have been an opportunity for him to say, like,

787
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: even if it's a lie, yeah this isn't true. This

788
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: is where I want to be. I'll compete with anybody

789
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: like to meet Carson Wentz right now kind of has

790
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: the vibe around the league is being a little bit

791
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: of a baby, Like, bro, you got bench for Jalen

792
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: Hurts and you're pouting. The guy gets Washington through for

793
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,959
Speaker 1: seventy two yards. I'll say it over and over, Doug

794
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: Peterson did not bench far or Peyton Manning. Jalen Hurts,

795
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: who many people I know, including myself, thought he was

796
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a running back, and that's who Carson Wentz is, Like,

797
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: come on, bro, you're paid all this money. You went

798
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: through a tough time. Welcome to life. We all find

799
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: ourselves sometime in a shitty spot, and you know what,

800
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: if you live long enough, it's gonna happen multiple times.

801
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: You're gotta pout about it. You're paid a lot of money.

802
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: What they say in Madman, that's what the money's for.

803
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: No one wants to hear you complain, no one wants

804
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: you to leak stories through the press. Just how about

805
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: you win your job? Back and become the star that

806
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: we all think you can be. Said, you're complaining like

807
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: you think Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, even Rogers. Look

808
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: at Rogers they drafted He's Aaron Rodgers. Multiple m v

809
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: p s in a Super Bowl. I didn't do. I

810
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: see him complaining when they drafted Jordan's Love. He just

811
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: came back and kicked the ship out of everybody. Carson Wentz, who,

812
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: let's be real, has never accomplished anything beside making a

813
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of money, is bitching himanin like that? To me,

814
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: the story is a little out of hand, and I

815
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: think it reflects poorly on Carson Wentz. What were the

816
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: Eagle supposed to do? Let him keep playing? Like I said,

817
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: they did the right thing by benching him. But now

818
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: he's like, I demand to go to another team. I

819
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: can't work with Doug Peterson. I've been around Doug. I

820
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: don't know one person who doesn't like Doug. Doug is

821
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: about his down to earth and is normal of the

822
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: head coach you'll ever meet in the NFL. You can't

823
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: get along with Doug Carson. Maybe it's a you problem.

824
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: The least shocking story, excuse me, the most shocking story

825
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: of the year. The Browns were actually good. It's actually positive.

826
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns won eleven games, are in the playoffs.

827
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns actually figured it out. They hired Kevin Stefanski,

828
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: who looks to be a really good young coach. I

829
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: was impressed. He was good basically all season. They are

830
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That is a massive win for a

831
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: franchise that basically always sucks and basically there's always excuses.

832
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks falls, the coaches falls, the GM's falls, the

833
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: owner's fault. You know what happened this year? They just

834
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: won consistently one dust settled eleven games and they're in

835
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: the dance. Has to be like to me, Kevin Stefancy's

836
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: gonna win the Coach of the Year deservedly so. And

837
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns win or lose. Comes Sunday Night against

838
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and you know, I'm probably gonna lean the Steelers.

839
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: Incredible season and just an awesome job. You know what.

840
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: It felt like a little bit like when McVeigh got

841
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: to the l A and the franchise was a joke. Boom,

842
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: but they had good players. Boom in the playoffs. Now,

843
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: remember they ended up losing that mcveigh's first year at

844
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: home to the Falcons. So like, you can have a

845
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: really successful year when the bars low. You're not of Steelers,

846
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: You're not the Packers, Like you don't expect to win

847
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: playoff games. This is all gravy, the least shocking story,

848
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take a little bit of a victory

849
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: lap on this Cliff Kingsbury. Again, people think it's like personal,

850
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: it is not. I have nothing but admiration for the

851
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: human being. But he's not a good football coach. We

852
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: had the information to Texas Tech he was an under

853
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: five hundred loser, and it's like, well, Johnny didn't have

854
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: any talent. Yeah, I mean I don't know. He had

855
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Patrick Mahomes. I mean, what does he want

856
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence too, Like I named Holy Moley,

857
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Mike Leach has won a lot of games. The guys

858
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: you've never heard of. He had Baker Mayfield and Patrick

859
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes couldn't win. And I said from the jump the

860
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: moment he was hired, how's a guy that couldn't win

861
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve at Texas Tech When it's been

862
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: proven just the guy before could win there. How is

863
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: he going to have success in the NFL in a

864
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: division with Sean McVeigh, Cal Shanahan and Peak Errol And

865
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: then it looked like, Okay, this year they finally got

866
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: enough talent. He's just gonna make the playoffs because he

867
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: has the quarterback. Well, what happened down the stretch? Who

868
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: do you run into Sean McVeigh and Kyle Shanahan? What happened?

869
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: He got worked and you can say, well, Johnny didn't

870
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: have his quarterback, neither did McVeigh. He rolled out a

871
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: dude from the A A F. How about Kyle Shanahan

872
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: the week before? Who'd he roll out? Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Bosa? No,

873
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: he rolled out C. J. Beathard and a bunch of

874
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: guys you've never seen or heard of. Because the forty

875
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: Niners led the league in guys on injured reserve and

876
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: salary cap, allocated money that was not playing, and they

877
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: kicked his ass. So listen, like I remember Colin saying

878
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: this about like Bakers and the Johnny Menzel's, when someone

879
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: tells you who they are, listen. When a coach's resume

880
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: is on display, read it how did we expect this

881
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: guy who couldn't have success in the big twelve again

882
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: where Mike Leach had had a lot of success. And

883
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about winning twelve games and competing for

884
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm just talking about winning nine or ten.

885
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: Couldn't win more than seven? Was gonna come to the

886
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: NFL and one of the toughest divisions in football, and

887
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: when and I couldn't And then he hires Van's Joseph

888
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: I go, I don't know, I don't see. It made

889
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: me sweat for a little bit earlier this year, but

890
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: it's true. Colors came through and he got throttled when

891
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: it mattered most. Because the reality is with Cliff Kingsbury,

892
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: his ethos, what he stands for as a play caller,

893
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: his offense, it is soft. Do you know what happened

894
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: to soft teams and soft offenses when it comes to

895
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: nutcutting time, When it comes to big games, you get

896
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: pushed around. You know what? The Rams and Niners kind

897
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: of their standard is physicality. And the Cardinals and the

898
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury are out of the playoffs and Mr Biscuits

899
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: in over them. And then the John grew an award

900
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: just goes to John Gruden. He makes a hundred millions,

901
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: signs a hundred million dollar contract three years in, not

902
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: even close to the playoffs. It really is one of

903
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: the most overhyped great media creations we've ever seen, and

904
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: he does a lot, deserves a lot of credit for this.

905
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: He created it. But the buzz when the Raiders signed him,

906
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: and I gave credit to because I'm like, God, this

907
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: guy's gotta be good. I've been watching on Money Night

908
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: football all this money. Everyone's been trying to hire him forever,

909
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: and just the way we work now, I had forgotten

910
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: about Tampa. And then you start diving in the numbers,

911
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: like god, pretty ugly in Tampa down the stretch. And

912
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: then hear some of the players come out they played

913
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: for him and Tampa. You're like, yeah, asshole, it's not

914
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: fun to be there. You know. Well, he's changed, he's matured.

915
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,959
Speaker 1: He's gonna kill it. Raiders finished eight and eight because

916
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: they had a walk off two one conversion against the Broncos,

917
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: and he would have needed eleven games to get in

918
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So it's not like he missed the playoffs

919
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: by one game. He's not Joe Judge complaining that he

920
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: should have been in the playoffs. It's six wins when

921
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: seven gets in. He went eight and eight in the

922
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: seventh seed, won eleven games and kicked his ass. John

923
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: Gruden is in my lifetime. When I just factor in

924
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: the hype, slash the money. I don't know if we've

925
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: ever seen anything quite like this. Now. I know people

926
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: that have been around and they like him. I think

927
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: he works hard. I think he's trying. I just don't

928
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: think he's that good. I don't think he's that good.

929
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: And he's the grand pooh bah, he's he has all

930
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: the control. The defense sucking and it is awful. Is

931
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: his fault? Like part of the defense with Andy Reid

932
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: or Sean Payton or the offense with Pete Carroll, that's

933
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: on them. They are the boss. When you are when

934
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: you make ten million plus dollars and you run the franchise,

935
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: every player on that roster you pick, it's on you.

936
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: So you know, just while the offense is good, who

937
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: cares your team isn't John Gruden. Man, We're just gonna

938
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: call it. The John Gruden Overhyped Award goes to John Gruden. Okay,

939
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: let's dive into the middle. Cooffe mail Bag at John

940
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram. I'm gonna try every day to

941
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: to put up a little content. I put up initial

942
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: thoughts on the playoffs up there on Monday. Every day

943
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: I'll just put a video up, you know, probably between

944
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 1: two to five minutes, just as my old Boston radio

945
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: who was really good? Who got me started in this

946
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: the media, you know, talking for a living, Uh, you know,

947
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: talk about what you're hot on, like what you're excited about.

948
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: So whatever I'm excited about on that given day, I'll

949
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: throw it up there. Today, I just talk all six

950
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: playoff games. The first thing that came to my mind.

951
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,919
Speaker 1: And really quick before we get into the Middle coffemail bag,

952
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: I don't think I've really touched on this, but the

953
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins have a potential problem on their hands, and we

954
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: all know that. Like Tool was bad again. Uh, they

955
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: used the fifth pick in the draft on him. Their

956
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: team is good, they just won ten games, their coach

957
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: is good, but they have a quarterback question. Right. They

958
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: have the third pick in the draft, the third pick

959
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: in the draft because of the Houston Texans. That's a

960
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 1: great trade. There's nothing like winning ten games and also

961
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: having third pick in the draft. The problem is, what

962
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: do they do with ta To me, if you traded

963
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: to it, you would not get a first round pick,

964
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: So you're gonna trade him the next year for like

965
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: a second round pick, like the way the Cardinals did

966
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: with Josh Rosen. That's tough, you know, it really is.

967
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Cardinals. They don't really have

968
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: that much to show for it. I mean, Kyler is

969
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: really talented, you guys know. I like Kyler Murray, but

970
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: not like they're going the playoffs, so he basically just

971
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: wasted a pick. Where do you roll it back? But

972
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: what if he's just not the guy? I don't know.

973
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: I heard Dilford talk about it. I think I'm like

974
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: Rasillo's podcast. I would probably give it one more year

975
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: and draft a couple of sweet wide receivers for him.

976
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: But like I could also talk myself into I've seen

977
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick going to these games and the offense looks fine,

978
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: it looks explosive, but he's young, he was injured. They're

979
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: in a tough predicament. You know, you can defend it

980
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: all you want, but Joe Burrow and Herbert did not

981
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: look like him, especially Joe Burrows team wasn't very good Herbert.

982
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: You can you can argue team at a bunch of talent. True, physically,

983
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: he's on a different world than him. Like that, they

984
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: if they could have a do over, there's the do

985
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: over would be pretty clear. The problem is if if

986
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: there was a do over and you could redo the

987
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 1: draft Justin Herbert, if Burro does still go one, Herbert's

988
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: going to you have to trade up to get Justin Herbert.

989
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: I have a million questions about the Eagles, but I'll

990
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: do rapid fire. Kind of already touched on that. So

991
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: do we trade up to the Dolphins pick to take Zack,

992
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: Wilson or Fields? What kind of value would we get

993
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: in return for when and Hurts? I think we could

994
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: get a late first from the Steelers, Saints or Bucks

995
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: for Hurts. Kama Wentz. Yeah, you would not get a

996
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: first round pick for Hurts. Doubt you'd even get a

997
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: second because he's already going into a second year, so

998
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: he's only got three years left under that rookie contract.

999
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: To me, whence you're getting a first round pick even

1000
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: given the situation. But I do think it's gotten a

1001
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: little weird. As I mentioned earlier. You know, some of

1002
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: his just character would be too strong. But he's viewed

1003
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: as this high character guy. Yet all these leaks are

1004
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: coming out that he's not happy, that he wants to trade,

1005
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: and I know it didn't come from quote unquote his mouth.

1006
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: Chefter doesn't miss, and everything has been slanted in his side.

1007
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 1: It's not like the Eagles are trying to fuck them

1008
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: right there, not trying to bad mouth them. They want

1009
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: to figure this situation out. They're paying them all this money.

1010
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: I got some questions on Carson Wentz man. Obviously the player,

1011
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: he is terrible right now, but the person, Like shit happens.

1012
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: You know, We've seen some low moments for guys. We've

1013
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: seen some low moments for Philip Rivers. The year Peyton

1014
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: Manning won the Super Bowl, he got benched Rogers. They

1015
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: just drafted a first round quarterback. Like, sometimes you gotta

1016
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: suck it up in life. No one wants to hear

1017
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 1: your This ain't Twitter. No one gives a shit about

1018
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: your problems, especially when you're making a lot of money

1019
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: and you're not getting it done. So like, I I'm

1020
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: down on Carson Wentz right now. Man. I text some

1021
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: people around the league. They're just like and I'm pro

1022
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: the player. I I still am a believer in the player.

1023
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: You just gotta figure it out. To me, we gotta

1024
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: have We might need a Doug Peterson, Howie Roseman, Jeffrey Ary,

1025
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz kind of come to Jesus moment. Maybe give

1026
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: it a month to simmer down, but maybe in February

1027
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: we all get together at the Novacare Complex and just

1028
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: talk out some of our problems, because we need to

1029
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: get this figured out, and we can't be going to

1030
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: the to the I almost said the papers chefter. We

1031
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: need to have a legitimate man demand grown up business.

1032
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: We're in a business partnership. We need to have a

1033
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: real conversation here. You know we're not all on the

1034
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: same page. You're not playing well. You can get mad

1035
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: at me for not gm and well or me not

1036
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: coaching well. And maybe Jeffrey Lury, who I've been told

1037
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: viewed Carson Wentz like a son, like we we had

1038
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: to figure this out. You can't get all worked up

1039
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: over Jalen freaking Hurts second round pick. You just through

1040
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: for seventy five yards in a game against Washington excuse me,

1041
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: seventy two. So that's that to me? I'm not how

1042
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: he in coming to me for advice, But I and listen,

1043
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't know all the details of the situation. This

1044
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: is just from three thousand miles away. I have not

1045
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: asked one question. May it's just too to one button

1046
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: of an issue for for me to get involved. But

1047
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: I know enough. You know, I got my birdies and

1048
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: I probably know a little more than I'm acting like.

1049
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: But we we need. We need a legitimate meeting every

1050
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: once in a while. As when you're growing up and

1051
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: you're screwing up as a kid, and trust me, I did.

1052
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: I had some knockdown drag outs where I had to

1053
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: sit down with my parents. You get older, you're getting

1054
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: real relationships with friends. Sometimes you have to have a

1055
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: business partner. You need to sit it out and talk

1056
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: it out clearly. With relationships your wife, serious girlfriends. That

1057
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: happens a lot. They are healthy now, They're not fun

1058
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: to walk into that room for, but it is a

1059
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: healthy situation to talk it out. And the Eagles, I

1060
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: know there's no passive aggressive with the Eagles, especially Howie

1061
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: like you, you talk about it, so I they need

1062
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: to get on the same page quick. My question as

1063
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: a lifelong Browns fan and us facing the Steelers in

1064
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: the wild card, I see are glaring, as does everyone else.

1065
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: Being our secondary. It's early. But who should we be

1066
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: targeting in the draft to shore that up? Uh, that's

1067
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: a good question. I can't even pretend to know the

1068
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: dB draft. Um. I think sometimes taking dbs in the

1069
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: first round, especially with the Browns are gonna be drafting

1070
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: the twenties, can be hit or miss. Like you can

1071
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: find especially in the in the scheme that they run,

1072
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: the Seattle scheme, which that came over from San Francisco

1073
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: and just kind of everyone's running. You can find zone

1074
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: corners you don't need to find like Denzel Ward and

1075
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: I you know better than me how good of a

1076
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: season he has, But you can find like the Chargers

1077
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: did this years ago with Casey Hayward. I mean, Richard

1078
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: Sherman was found in the fifth round. So I I

1079
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: think you can just be smart and find good deals

1080
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: in like the second, third and fourth round on players

1081
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: like that, because you're not gonna be drafting high enough

1082
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: to get like some can't miss guy. And sometimes when

1083
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: you draft corners in like the late first round, it

1084
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: doesn't turn out well. I'm a bigger believer in like

1085
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: the second and third round, especially in that scheme, I

1086
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: would keep building the lines offense and defensive line. That's

1087
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: where you win. Protect Baker. I drafted another offensive lineman

1088
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, or a defensive lineman. Get Miles help we can.

1089
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: We could find dbs love the show. Found your feed

1090
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: on Collins never lifelong Niners fan from Oregon, never bought

1091
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: into Jimmy G hurt often and doesn't seem to have

1092
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: quote it of a Wilson, Deshaun, even Kyler. I'd pump

1093
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: the brakes on Kyler a little. I put them in

1094
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: the category of Maddie Ice, Cousins and Goth. Maddie Ice

1095
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: didn't win an MVP, but I hear you, when everything

1096
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: is on schedule, they're fine and will win a ton

1097
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: of games. True, Thus the stupid stack. Colin always falls

1098
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: back on about Shanahan's always winning percentage with or without

1099
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. But the lack of athleticism intangibles to put

1100
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: a team on their back and make the play in

1101
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: the biggest spots as well as shown. I would bet

1102
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: my entire savings against any of those guys ever winning

1103
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl as a starter, maybe in year's past,

1104
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: but not in today's game, when quarterback is so critical

1105
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: to a team's success. I would tend to agree. Don't

1106
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: get why some gms can't see that. Why don't more

1107
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: teams just take a gamble on one of these athletic

1108
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: college guys, even as a bust, they could be a

1109
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: good game manager, as Jimmy, and if they hit, you

1110
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: got a buffalo situation. Thanks. I hear what you're saying.

1111
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: I think the problem is one, when you have like

1112
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: Goff or Cousins or Matt Ryan, you're guaranteeing them like

1113
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars. You're stuck with him. So the

1114
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: moment you cut that check, you just you're on the hook.

1115
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: You know, when I guarantee a hundred million dollars, just

1116
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: look at it basically like three years at thirty million

1117
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: dollars minimum. Right, it's a little more three years. It's

1118
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: like thirty three million dollars. I mean it's not that

1119
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: just basic, but that's like you're stuck with a guy

1120
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: for three years, Jimmy. Technically they can get away from

1121
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: like where I stand on Jimmy Garoppolo, and we talk

1122
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot about it on my other podcast. Haberman a

1123
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: middle cough. I don't think Jimmy's back with I think

1124
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: his career with the forty niners is over. I've heard

1125
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: different things. I'm not gonna say it on record because

1126
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I I can't confirm whether it's true, but I'm pretty confident.

1127
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean that they've been opening, they're gonna be looking,

1128
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: and I think last year they Jimmy got the benefit

1129
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: of the doubt. They really liked Jimmy. That's why when

1130
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady said, Kyle, I will join your team, they

1131
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: said no. They told Tom Brady no, and and fucking

1132
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: idiots like me, we're like, yeah, that was a right decision.

1133
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was the right decision. Jimmy in two

1134
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen and two thousand twenty, so they made

1135
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. In two thousand nineteen, he did not

1136
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,479
Speaker 1: miss a game. Well, the other two seasons in which

1137
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: he was under this big contract, he missed seventy percent

1138
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: of their games. So I've heard different things about the

1139
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: relationship with Kyle and Jimmy, but I know for a fact,

1140
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 1: having been around football coaches and football executives, when you

1141
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: are not available, you are worthless. Everyone misses a game

1142
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,959
Speaker 1: or two in the NFL, it's football. Guys get hurt,

1143
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: But when you missed seventy percent of the games over

1144
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: a two year period, like the Niners did not suck

1145
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: this year. They actually are pretty good. You know what

1146
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: their main problem was. It wasn't Boasted getting hurt, It

1147
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: wasn't Sherman missing games, it wasn't Kittle missing a bunch

1148
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: of games. All those were problems. It was Jimmy Garoppolo

1149
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: didn't start ten at their football games. They had to

1150
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: play with c J. Beethard and Nick Mullins, who eventually

1151
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: got had to get Tommy John and they had to

1152
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: sign Josh Rosen. If Jimmy Garoppolo just play sixteen games

1153
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 1: and listen, even if Jimmy Garoppolo's average, he's way better

1154
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: than those guys. Hell, they might be eight and eight,

1155
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs. They're probably nine and seven. It's

1156
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: it can't even be I I can't. It's hard for

1157
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: me to describe many of you people did not watch

1158
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins play. I'm sure he's a great guy, he's

1159
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: not a very good football player. And c J. Beethord

1160
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: has his issues too. Like if I gave those two

1161
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: guy eyes to just most coaches, like if Joe Judge

1162
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: got those two guys, he would have won one game.

1163
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: If Cliff Kingsbury had C. J. Bethard and Nick Mullins,

1164
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: they wouldn't win a game. It's it's really remarkable what

1165
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Kyle did with those two guys. His problem. The guys

1166
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt. It happens. But your quarterback can't

1167
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 1: miss games. Look around the league like Matt Stafford does

1168
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: everything he can to play. Matt Ryan does not miss time.

1169
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady does not miss games unless he has an

1170
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: a c l were suspended by the league. Russell Wilson

1171
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: has never missed a game in his career ever. Pat

1172
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes dislocated his knee and missed two games. Shaun Watson

1173
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: it took like a shattered spleen or something for the

1174
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: miss games. If my quarterback is missing time over a period,

1175
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: he's worthless to me. So when I hear this like

1176
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: you can't do better than Jimmy G. That acts like

1177
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy G is gonna play in the games. Jimmy G.

1178
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 1: For the last month when the Niners got kicked out

1179
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: of the county because of these crazy politicians in California

1180
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: and they had to go live in Arizona for five games.

1181
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo took notes every game. George Kittle begged to

1182
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: get back on the field with a broken foot and

1183
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: ultimately played the LAS two weeks. Jimmy, like, you tell

1184
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: me you think Kyle was like, oh, that's cool. Yeah,

1185
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: come on, like it's Jimmy is a Niners problem right now?

1186
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: And I I was the person on record that said,

1187
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: of course you're not gonna take Tom Brady's too old,

1188
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: that's wrong. Do you think Cam Newton could be Lamar's

1189
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: backup next year? As r G three clearly sucks. I

1190
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: love your podcast, I appreciate it. I would say yes

1191
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: to me, that makes some sense. I like Trace McSorley.

1192
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: I think he got hurt. Didn't he go on ir

1193
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: after that game when he heard his knee when Lamar

1194
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: was having the cramp slash pooping or whatever, uh, and

1195
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: he heard his knee and then Lamar ran back on

1196
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the field. That was a crazy NFL moment this year. Yeah,

1197
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I think Cam Newton will be my guest right now.

1198
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 1: Cam Newton League minimum Seattle or Seattle or Baltimore. Greetings

1199
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: from El Savador hold on they speak Spanish in El Savador.

1200
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I found your podcast on the her channel, been a

1201
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: fan since, appreciate it. I'm so frustrated since I lost

1202
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: five dollar parlay do the Sunday night embarrassment of a game?

1203
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL should establish a rule against

1204
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: that type display of tanking by the Eagles? Maybe conduct

1205
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: detrimental to the league can be applied and can avoid

1206
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: this absurd? Also, how can a head coach of the

1207
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Eagles keep the locker room after this? Players look so disappointed?

1208
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Shouldn't the players be disappointed? At four nine and one? Like? What?

1209
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the Steelers be subject to these rules? The

1210
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Steelers did t Wat play? Did Cam Heyward play? Because

1211
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: I know big bend and play? What the hell is

1212
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: the difference? Because I pulled a guy in the fourth quarter?

1213
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: Like what? I don't thanking? Thanking for what? The six pick?

1214
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: The six pick is dramatically better than the ninth pick

1215
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: When I can't make the playoffs? Am I supposed to

1216
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: just play hard because someone else? It is not my problem.

1217
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: And I'd be piste too if I lost to Parlay.

1218
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: But it's not my problem. What happens other teams. It's

1219
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: just not like I said earlier, it's it's not your

1220
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: issue unless it's like your parents maybe what other people do,

1221
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 1: like the way their relationship is. It's you can't worry

1222
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: about other people. It's not any teams issue. What other

1223
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: teams record like, that's not the fucking Eagles problem. That

1224
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: that is strictly on the Giants who won six games.

1225
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: Quick question about my Homes and the Chiefs. As a

1226
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: lifelong Chiefs fan who went through mostly in nep quarterback,

1227
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: I was a static when we traded up and took

1228
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback. However, my initial thought was why didn't we

1229
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: take to Sean, who was a monster in college. Mahomes

1230
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: went to the perfect situation with Andy, the weapons and

1231
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: a chance to sit behind Alex Smith for a year.

1232
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: My question is how much do you think of the

1233
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: homes greatness compared to Sean can be attributed to the

1234
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: chief structure versus Texans dumpster fire or if they switch places,

1235
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: what do you think could have happened? Well, Mahomes is

1236
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: physically a much more gifted passer than de Sean, and

1237
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 1: Deshan is a good passor. But Mahomes is like a

1238
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: modern day five. But your situation in football, just like

1239
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: your situation when you're like an employee, like you don't control,

1240
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: does dictate some of your success. If you went to

1241
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: work for Apple over the last decade and you moved

1242
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: your way up the ranks, you're probably gonna have more

1243
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: success that if you work for a company that went bankrupt,

1244
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: right and ultimately the Texans or football equivalent to going bankrupt,

1245
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: they fired a coach like four games into the season,

1246
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: they traded their second best player. J. J. Watt called

1247
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: everyone a quitter. So, yeah, Deshaun Watson would have won

1248
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid and they would have been much better

1249
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,520
Speaker 1: than they were with Alex Smith. Now was Deshaun Watson?

1250
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: Do they beat the Patriots three years ago on the

1251
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game at home? Probably not? Do

1252
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: they come back last year? Maybe maybe not. I just

1253
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: think my Homes a much better player than Shaun Watson.

1254
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's really good. So Deshaun Watson would have been

1255
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: better off with the Chiefs. Yes, And I think that

1256
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes would have been excellent with the Texans, you know,

1257
01:08:55,320 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, there it can't be argued that Mahomes benefit

1258
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: it from Andy Reid, But I do think like Deshaun

1259
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: Watson was killing it with Bill O'Brien. It's like Shaun

1260
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: Watson has had success, his defense sucks. What do you

1261
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: think is the issue with Arizona? Like you said on

1262
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: the pod, the play calling us soft and in key

1263
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: moments questionable decision making has cost us the season and

1264
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: largely in my thoughts, have been the difference between us

1265
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: going ten and six Verson verse our current record which

1266
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: is eight. Nate, what are your thoughts on what the

1267
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals need to do moving forward to not be an

1268
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: absolute joke? Is it get rid of Kingsbury and bringing

1269
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: a more aggressive play caller. Well, Kingsbury is not going anywhere,

1270
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: so I don't think anything is gonna change. Part of

1271
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: the issue is when you run that offense, the offensive

1272
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: identity becomes who you are. So when you run a

1273
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 1: spreadsoft offense, what do you think you do all week?

1274
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: You practice it? Well, who do you practice it against?

1275
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Your own team? So you're there's a softness that has

1276
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: just created. Like why do you think you know physical

1277
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: teams physical defenses tend to just be physical teams because

1278
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: they practice against the physical defense or physical or defenses

1279
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: get better when they have a physical offense because they

1280
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: practice against them every day. There's a tone that's set

1281
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: with being around those guys, and there's just you can

1282
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: you can't hide who you are. Like if you've listened

1283
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: to me long enough, like you get the gist of

1284
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: who I am. I am, I'm just I'm me a coach.

1285
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: Once we see a coach, you know, get a couple

1286
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: of years like, that's who they are. People tell you

1287
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: who they are, right, you just gotta listen, and we

1288
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:52,799
Speaker 1: just that's that's Cliff. And we could argue Texas texts

1289
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: his record there is irrelevant right now, but the same

1290
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: thing is happening again. So if you just based it

1291
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: on his career resume, like it's just one thing after another.

1292
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: He's not terrible. He's not Freddy Kitchens or Jim tom Seula.

1293
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: He's just not gonna be He'll always be the fourth

1294
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: best coach in this division. Always. He has no chance

1295
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 1: to not be the fourth best coach in division. So

1296
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: think about that. How are you going to figure it

1297
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: out as a franchise or as a team when your

1298
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: coach is the fourth best coach in the division. I

1299
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: think we know the answer. It's impossible. It will not happen.

1300
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: You cannot overcome that as a Giants fan. Please tell

1301
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: me there's absolutely no chance Gettleman survives another embarrassing season

1302
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: if we missed the playoffs, and if he is fired.

1303
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Judge wanted to risk his job next

1304
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: season with the quarterback he inherited, who just put a

1305
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 1: ten last season on Judges resume. The Giants are weird

1306
01:11:56,240 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: man that that they have a weird sense of loyalty. Uh.

1307
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know the relationship with Judge and Gettleman. They

1308
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: actually seem like they'd be two guys that kind of

1309
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: get alike or get along, kind of two guys that

1310
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: are like minded, kind of old school football guys. Uh.

1311
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, until I read on the ticker, I am

1312
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: not expecting Dave Gettleman to be fired. I don't follow it,

1313
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 1: like if you're a Giants fan, like reading the daily stories.

1314
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: But if to me, if he was gonna get fired

1315
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: when you got fired this morning, like what are they

1316
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: waiting on? So I I I don't expect him to

1317
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: get fired, and I don't necessarily know what they do

1318
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Are they gonna roll back? Daniel Jones so

1319
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 1: I think they got a problem. Taylor, actually who I

1320
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 1: just answered his usually want to answer your question. I

1321
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: do a little like and he said I'm trolling him.

1322
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say answered your question on the pod.

1323
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: See I I do interact a lot on the social

1324
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: medi deal channels. Okay, last question, longtime listener, first time DMR.

1325
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 1: It's I also apologize if you have already covered this

1326
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: on one of your shows. Am I crazy to look

1327
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: at Jalen Hurts and see a more athletic version of Dak?

1328
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: Like if people think Dad could be a top twelve quarterback,

1329
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: why not him in the right personnel? Also as a

1330
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: d C guy. Very jealous that I cannot take advantage

1331
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: of the ease deal. You guys offer L O L

1332
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: great content and keep it coming. Uh. I love my

1333
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: friends at East Big Time Partners. I'd say Dak is

1334
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: a much more natural thrower of the football. I think

1335
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Dak is just a much superior player. I mean Dad

1336
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: had so much success right when he got to the league,

1337
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: it became much natural to him. You know, I think

1338
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Jalen is better than I thought, but you watch him,

1339
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: he's still pretty inaccurate. You know, I think he just

1340
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 1: he's a better version of those who thought he might uggle,

1341
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: but he's still not a great version of someone that

1342
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: like put to bed all the question marks about him

1343
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: coming out, you know, and he and the reality is

1344
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, they did have a lot of offensive weapons.

1345
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: God or Arts reagor al Sean came back, Miles Standers

1346
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: was there for a while, Boston Scot's not terrible, Like

1347
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: it's not like full Gum's good. Greg war Jr. Is

1348
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: not bad, Like they have enough offensive weapons. And he's

1349
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: just he's okay. I mean, he had some moments. The

1350
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense is not good. The Washington defense is good.

1351
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: He threw for seventy two yards seventy two I will

1352
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: end on that little Our fifteen podcast. Uh hopefully that

1353
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: get you guys through the week, and uh we're here,

1354
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: so let's see how this year goes. It can't be

1355
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: worse than last year. Stay positive, positive vibes only and

1356
01:14:51,320 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: up see you guys later. Godspeed, s
