1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast have been tweeting weird lately.

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast,

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: presented by Sirius XM. My name is Dan Hansas, and

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: I have joined in a room that is just loaded

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal.

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: What's up boys, Hey, Dan Friday Show. Well, I mean,

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: first of all, the Friday Show is designated to start

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: at eleven a m. Pacific time, California clock, and it

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: is eleven forty and we're just getting going. Well, we

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: pushed the back in West West. You know, West organized

11
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: a critical doctor's appointment for himself at around one fifteen

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills. He will not be making it. I

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: promise you he will not get there. You walk in

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the depressing little magazines on those tables, which are the

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: most depressing thing, the little magazines, and I mean you

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: could be no time to read those. You could be

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: all agro and angry about it, or you could recognize

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: that in the history of six years of this shows,

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of you know, fifteen minute, twenty

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: minute chit chats before the show that just like we're

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: totally wasting time. I think this is the best one

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: we've ever had. I'm all four but directions. I thought

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: we were going to start twenty minutes ago, and it

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: just well they were. It was ten or eleven topics

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: that you chose to talk about, Corex. So I understand

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: why you liked the conversation. But what if we were

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: to table the chit chat for after and it would

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: be volunteering. You could stay or you leave and get

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: on with your day. You know it's before And I'll

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: say this that we've been working together for years now

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: and our jobs have evolved in that time, and we

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: used to sit together every day, you know, five six

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: days a week, eight hours a day, sit together. Hey,

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: that's the show right there. Just put a microphone downstairs.

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: That's the podcast there, and you got your show, um,

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: and we've done with it. But that doesn't happen as

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: much anymore. And I do know, um the habits of

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: the room that once the show is over, it's a

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: cloud of dust and everyone's gone. So the only time

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I could keep you here Mark and have you in

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: a conversation is when you're basically a hostage and you

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: have to be here talking to him that's that You're

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: not wrong, But I will say I am. My concern

44
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: is around West is uh you know health. I mean

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: you are, though you're diving in at certain points you

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: were asking about the decor of West is uh well,

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: totally facetiously to continue my Mike, I kept saying, please,

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: can we move along proof of that? Can we move

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: along now? Because we do have a lot to get

50
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: to and West does have to get to the author

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: don they'll they'll survive if I'm a few minutes later,

52
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: didn't seem like it was a cancer appointment. He's like

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: he has a really really important I'm just picking up

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: retainers from its dental health matters. Um, very important dental health.

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Do not ignore your teeth. There was a poster in

56
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: my old dentist office one as a kid, ignore your

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: teeth and they'll go away, all right? Coming up on

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: today's show, Yes, the preseason kicked off in Earnest on

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Thursday night. A bunch of games. How many games we

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: have healthy? Uh, So we'll take a quick spin around

61
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the league. We're not gonna dig into a game by game.

62
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I will be letting you know where we are in

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: the standings. But well, some general takeaways from the action

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Also, UH, something we did last summer. We're

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: bringing it back because you know how it is, You

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: know how it is with our show that in any show,

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: really the NFL has haves and have nots in terms

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: of what teams move the needle, what teams are fun

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: to talk about, What teams maybe would be fun to

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: talk about if they got more love, but they tend

71
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: not to. So that's why, UM, we are bringing back

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: the segment what you people don't know about teams? No

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: one is talking about dot dot dot or maybe it's

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: just us. Maybe people are talking about these teams, but

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: not in this studio. You people should know that you

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: really get a kick out of this segment. I enjoyed.

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: In fact, I will be moderating this segment, uh, to

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: make sure that none of the teams and we'll get

79
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: to this a little bit later that had come up

80
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: often on the show, and we have a group of

81
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: fourteen um will be mentioned once during that segment. This

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: was needed. We tend to go into ruts around June

83
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: and July where we only talk about half the league

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: and ignore the other half the league. So we're gonna

85
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: study that other half of the league and how many

86
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: other podcasts out there have the self awareness to even

87
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: do a segment like this? Think about that? Yeah? Um,

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: but before that, let's do some news. What we're hearing

89
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: presented by Sirius XM hit it Ricky from Elliott Fry. Yeah,

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: a standing ovation for a pretseason field goal. It's important,

91
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: it's continued from the excitement for the Bears kicker in

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: this competition. How about that, Elliott Fry, he can't make

93
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: this stuff up. As seconds are ticking off the clock

94
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: in the Bears Panthers preseason opener, Uh, they spiked the

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: ball forty three yard field goal and guess what actually

96
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: didn't spike the ball? Clock's running. Ron Rivera, the opposing

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: coach calls time out, and he wasn't doing it to

98
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: be a jerk. He was trying to help the Bears

99
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: because everybody knows Matt Neige is obsessed with the forty

100
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: three yard going back to the double doing in the

101
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: playoffs and John Fox, Ron Rivera said, you know what,

102
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 1: it's funny. I did that to help the Bears because

103
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: they are in a kicking contest. Rivera said, via ESPN

104
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: dot com, how about that? What a cooperative coach. He

105
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: is an opposing coach to do that for matt Ni riverboats,

106
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: a good man Neggie taking the opposite of approach like

107
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and the Saints. They don't even mention what's

108
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: happened the last couple of years. They just moved right on.

109
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: Naggi is just thinks that obsessing about it is what

110
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: happens if small Fry this is that kick? Yes, what

111
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: if he double doings that kick? Does Nagie just run

112
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: off into the wilderness and we never see him again?

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: Or you know, he he just jumps in the ocean

114
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: and just go swimming until he disappears. We're kind of

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: an event, I think with Niggi. All right, let us

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: start the news with Antonio Brown and uh soap opera

117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: that is exploding in Oakland, just at a time when

118
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: all the cameras there for are there for hard knocks.

119
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: We'll start here. We'll start the story with the report

120
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: uh from Chase Williams of w p x I and

121
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh who put it out there that Brown had gone

122
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: quote radio silent and that the raiders had quote no

123
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: clue where Brown is or the status of his injured

124
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: foot and of course we talked about it. The frost

125
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: bitten feet from the cryogenic chamber that has hindered him

126
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: and kept him out of amost all of training camp.

127
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: So there has been a disconnect with Brown and the Raiders.

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: He is getting treatment on his own um and now

129
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: more now so. Michael Gelkin of the Las Vegas Review

130
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Journal reports that Brown is expected to rejoin the Raiders

131
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: quote in the near future, which is good news. But

132
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: then Mike Silver own Mike Silver drops a silver bomb, like,

133
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: woa bomb. We need some type of silver bomb thing.

134
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: A twenty part thread. Now you you could ask, hey, Mike,

135
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: why didn't you just use like the open up a

136
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: document and write all this stuff and send out one tweet.

137
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine maybe there's a social media reason viral

138
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: lead to have it's paying off as I look at

139
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: it live tweets. So there it is a twenty part

140
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: thread that gets more into what is going on between

141
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and the Raiders behind the scenes and Greg.

142
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: This is all over the place, but in the short

143
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: of it is is that yes, he has this foot

144
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: issue going on, but there's more behind the scenes, including

145
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: issue with the NFL's updated helmet safety rules that has

146
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: caused a major havoc behind the scenes. Let's start there.

147
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: What are you seeing in the silver thread? Well, Antonio

148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Brown is upset about the NFL's enforcement of helmet regulations. Basically,

149
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: they have taken helmets, which have been tested to be

150
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: less safe and provide uh less protection against concussions out

151
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: of the mix. This has been a multi year process.

152
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: They had kind of a year last year where players

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: could still wear some of the helmets that were towards

154
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: the bottom of their unsafe, but they had to get

155
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: out of it. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady were some of

156
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: these players that were still wearing the old helmets. Once

157
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: he got to this offseason, you're no longer allowed to

158
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: wear the helmet, And apparently that kick started a offseason

159
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: saga which is hilarious in its details of Antonio Brown

160
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: going crazy about these helmets, to the point where Adam

161
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: Schefter says the helmet issue is more of the reason

162
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: why he's away from the team right the earlier in

163
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: the off season program, he stormed off the complex so

164
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: angry about the rules with the new helmets, and he

165
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: is repeatedly ironic because the NFL p A completely supports

166
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: this the it's the NFL actually proactively paying lots of

167
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: money for research to try to save the players is

168
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: brains essentially, you know, all the things that the players

169
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: have really been complaining that about for years, but he

170
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: is upset about. There is one detail in here, and

171
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: it's number thirteen on on Silver's twenty tweet description here

172
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: that that Antonio Brown went to the extent to at

173
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: one point take the field with his old helmet, his

174
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: preferred helmet which he had since had repainted with colors

175
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: approximating but not completely mimicking the Raiders silver and black design.

176
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: He went out of his way to hire someone I'm

177
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: imagining to get the right silver and black color tones

178
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: and it didn't quite look right. Or is this who knows,

179
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe abs taking advantage of the what's legaland

180
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: California and you know, having a day with his kids

181
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: and you know, and with an ipatch, and this is

182
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: uh that was I guess the high point or low

183
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: point of him trying to get this uh now illegal

184
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: helmet on the field. But this has been going on

185
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: before he heard his feet through O T A S

186
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: and practices where he kept on trying to get on

187
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: the field with the helmet, and the Raiders kept on

188
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: telling you you have to take it off, and he

189
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: would say he was going to follow the rules, but

190
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: try to try to beat it. But then there's even

191
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: more even behind helmet Gate, that he's um struggling to

192
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: get to meetings on time. He appears quote unfocused in

193
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: them according to Mike Silver. According to witnesses, is a

194
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: tweet number nineteen in the thread. Uh. Typically, Brown glances

195
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: at the screens of several tablets and his smartphone during meetings,

196
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: distracting himself by engaging in activities which include perusing his

197
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: bank accounts and quote liking photos on Instagram. Still, one

198
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: source says, the meeting thing isn't that bad, but the feet,

199
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: helmet and going dark is an issue. Your damn rights

200
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: an issue. And we we knew the honeymoon was not

201
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna last between Antonio Brown and John Gruden, and maybe

202
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and anyone in organized professional football. But this

203
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: thing has a potential to krenn into a total avalanche

204
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: of poop here And and I you know, is he

205
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: on the field, is he a member of the Raiders

206
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: when they become the Vegas Raiders? Is how long is

207
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: this gonna last this marriage because it is off to

208
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: a rollicking start. Well, as you might imagine, Raiders coaches

209
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: and players are talking about this amongst themselves, and according

210
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: to Silver, one of the coaches said, it was quote

211
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: honestly the most insane thing I have ever heard. I

212
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: don't know why it's so important to him. It doesn't

213
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: make sense. I would say, you dig your due diligence

214
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: on this guy, and you found the insanity in his past.

215
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: This guy is playing a team sport and he sent

216
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: a figurative middle figure to the fans. The coaches and

217
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: players are the Pittsburgh's Dealers. Steelers are laughing their asses

218
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: off right now. I mean, it's important to note that

219
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: the this helmet guideline is affecting hundreds and hundreds and

220
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: hundreds of players who were equally passionate about their equipment

221
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: and have a fondness for a certain type of helmet.

222
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: It had to switch. And this one person is the

223
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: one responding this way difficulty that tons of others are

224
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: dealing with two and adjusting to. And it's you stand

225
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: out with that type of behavior, and the questions rise

226
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: up about Antonio Brown, and you know it's I guess

227
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: for us, it's delightful because we get to watch all

228
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: this unfold on Hard Knocks, But it was a year

229
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: ago that we were working with someone like Mike Mayock

230
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: who has to be going nuts that this is taking

231
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: place on a public stage, or Grooden that he has

232
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: to deal with this, and they already didn't answer questions

233
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: about the frost bite, but already of it informs some

234
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: of the frustration that we saw from Grooden even on

235
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks about the feet, because that seemed like almost

236
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: a very frustrating story but almost annoying, and it wasn't.

237
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: But this kind of informs maybe why they've been getting

238
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: so frustrated. And it's fascinating because he's the He's the

239
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: best receiver that I've that I think i've covered, and

240
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, since I've been covering the league, is Antonio Brown?

241
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the reason we're talking about it is

242
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: because he's one of the all time grades and we're

243
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: not none of us are informed enough, and nobody following

244
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the NFL unless you really know the man, are informed enough.

245
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: But I wonder if he's okay mentally, Like he just

246
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: seems to be completely out there and is it is

247
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: he able to really get along with anyone or is

248
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: it is it to the point where he just exists

249
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: on planet Antonio and there's weird stuff is always gonna

250
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: be following him around now his his career gotten to

251
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: that point despite being a fantastic talent. We talked about

252
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: it on Wednesday. Greg in the one practice we did

253
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: see in that Hard Knocks premiere, he just blew everyone

254
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: off the field. He's that good. He's a super duper star.

255
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna wear the jacket and canton. But I just

256
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: wonder where he's at mentally and whether he can really

257
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: function on a team in twenty and beyond. That's next

258
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: time he'll be allowed to wear that helmet. I'll just

259
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: put it on for his speech A can. He loves

260
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: it so much. I want to be sitting at home

261
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: right now where everydy is wearing the helmet, just watching

262
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: like Netflix. I know for me personally, like I stay

263
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: away from looking at my bank account. There's nothing about it.

264
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Check It's like, hey four figures here, guys, that would

265
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: be an awesome move though, just like leave it open

266
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: and it has like four twelve dollars and it like

267
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: what take a look. What all right, Let's let's move

268
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: on to the news. Yes, a fascinating situation unfolding in Oakland.

269
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Moving on Cleveland Brown's news, Duke Johnson no longer connected

270
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: to the Brownies. He gets his wish traded away from

271
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: the team to the Houston Texans. Brown's announced it on Thursday.

272
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Tom pel Sero event if I'll Network reported Houston will

273
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: send Cleveland a fourth round pick in the draft that

274
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: can become a third rounder if Johnson is active for

275
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: ten games, so pretty good chances becomes a third round

276
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: pick going back to Cleveland. Um, we all know that

277
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: this was kind of a controversy around the Browns at

278
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson unhappy with his role in the team. Kareem

279
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Hunt comes aboard. He's kind of number three in line

280
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: in that UM depth chart. Wanted out. Didn't seem like

281
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: it was gonna happen. Well it does. He's out of

282
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: town and he joins the Texans team that really needed

283
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: an upgrade in the backfield with Lamar Miller, who as

284
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: much as I once loved him as an underwhelming h

285
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: three down back, now you have a great receiving running

286
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: back back. There makes a lot of sense. For them,

287
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: but the cost West is a little high. I thought

288
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: they paid them for a team with many roster needs,

289
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: not just this year, but going forward they have many

290
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: roster needs. UH. He feels exactly what their backfield UH needs.

291
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: They need a passing down compliment to Lamar Miller, I

292
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: just wonder what a team with a GM allowed the

293
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: coach to fulfill this wish. It's a good question here

294
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: is I think it's worth noting he has two years

295
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: left on his contracts, it's not just this year, and

296
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: at what I think is a very affordable contract, so

297
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: you're getting a good deal. I don't I don't hate it.

298
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: It definitely makes their team significantly better this year like

299
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: they needed. They needed it, and I I've always thought

300
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson could handle more than that. He doesn't. Even

301
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, he's just one of the best passing

302
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: down backs since he's been drafted, and he's not missed

303
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: a game in his career. He's he's certainly not been

304
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: a star for Cleveland because I think he's no one's

305
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: really found a way to maximize him entirely. And then

306
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: when you've got guys like Nick Chubb, he's just not

307
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: featured as a as a featured back, which he's asked

308
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: to be. He wanted to be that coming out of Miami.

309
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: But I think they should get the third rounder barring

310
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: something you because Kareem not back till week nine. And

311
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: I do think it makes the Browns worse. Well, it's

312
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, a bit of a Mia coopo though, because

313
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: one thing I learned about myself is that I need

314
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: to I need to um when Brown's news happens. And

315
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: what I do is I just tweet emotionally and I'm

316
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: not And I think that my analysis was a little

317
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: off because I was I felt like they just gave

318
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: him away because you know, suddenly he's got a new agent,

319
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhouse, who went into Cleveland and said I want this,

320
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: and so you know, weeks later he's out for and

321
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: I and I get to the third round pick um,

322
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: which is the largest compensation for running back for some

323
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: research since Trent Richardson was shipped out of Cleveland. So

324
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, I was. I think that I my initial

325
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: reaction was off and that I thought the Browns basically

326
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: just caved into wishes when they got they got good

327
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: compensation back. But I don't love. I don't love the

328
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: timing well, and also that I'm texting you guys like

329
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff where you don't need that, Like I

330
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: think I told Dan. I think I told Dan to

331
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: die at one point because he I said. My response

332
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: was to the trade. Once it was I said, wow,

333
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, third round pick, attentially, that's a nice return

334
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: for your third string running back. Marx replied die Well,

335
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, so how about you know, I need to

336
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: learn to grow a little bit, and like I and

337
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm gonna try to not treat one team

338
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: and the differently, but I rely one. It's just to

339
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: set the tone of a positive concern. Though. Is this

340
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: because we'll get into another bit of news that happened

341
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. It is when you when you start to

342
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: look at your roster as you've got riches at all

343
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: these positions that you can give away. You know, I

344
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: think they might very well need Duke Johnson. They they

345
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: have some other guys up beyond Nick Chubb that are

346
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: showing some promise even last night in the game. But

347
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea just handing away Duke Johnson

348
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: this far before you get Kareem Hunt. If you could

349
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: have done it closer to the trade deadline, which is

350
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: there's no surety that you could. I would have been

351
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: happier with the timing. The other news is that Antonio Callaway,

352
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: they're promising second year wide receiver, has been suspended four

353
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: games for a substance abuse violation. UM. This the twenty

354
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: two year old who really did flash last year as

355
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: a rookie. UM. If you remember, he was cited for

356
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license last August.

357
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: But Mike Gara Folo, our own Mike Gara Folo reports

358
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: the suspension stems from a separate incident. Uh. That marijuana

359
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: charged by the way, the one that I mentioned there

360
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: was dismissed in February. Worry so uh and and which

361
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: is you know a little bit refreshing on my end.

362
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: He released the statement taking responsibility for his actions and

363
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: saying I'm gonna eat the suspension and that's what it is, uh,

364
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: instead of fighting it. So Callaway out on the shelf

365
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: four games. Your thoughts there, Mark, Well, I mean, so

366
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: suddenly you don't have Duke Johnson and you don't have

367
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Callaway in this offense that's super deep. Is just simply

368
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: not as deep, and a couple of injuries going the

369
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: wrong way could turn Cleveland into a different type of roster.

370
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: I would say the thing that they have going for them,

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: and this continued into I realized it's just one game.

372
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: But last night, ever since Baker Mayfield took over, I

373
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: thought that Richard Higgins went from being someone who was

374
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: cuttable and essentially at zero asset to someone who's growing

375
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. And he played really well last night.

376
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: I think he just he he that you need a

377
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: third guy, and I get that you have Beckham and

378
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: Landry and and what a great situation you are. And

379
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: even with this these these these news items that these

380
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: are hits to your depth and that's importan and have depth.

381
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: But Landry and Backham are superior receivers, uh Chub and

382
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: Hunt when he comes back with superior rushers. I think

383
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: the Browns are still in very good shape right now.

384
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: I just think that they one thing about them is

385
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: the early schedule, and I think the chemistry issues in

386
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: general are there's a lot of challenges out there. It

387
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: could be a rough start, and where are you by

388
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: the time Cream Hunt comes back When you're trying to

389
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: get rid of the haunted house and turn the page

390
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: and institute a new culture. You don't need the ghost

391
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: of Josh Gordon hanging around. No, this is a little

392
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: too soon. Moving on. Did you know, by the way,

393
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: that there's still litigation going around around the NFC Championship

394
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: games Saints fans and specific specifically one particularly angry super fan.

395
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: He's a lawyer. Uh West got a good lawyer jokes.

396
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: I forget all of them. Okay, I just thought, like

397
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: a Maleman would have, like, it's like, hey, where's the

398
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, the best place for a law fest to

399
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: be are So your interview tell them what you are

400
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: to the interview, to my law firm interview. I've told

401
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: this before. A dangling earing and what was on it

402
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: crucifix is not Barry Bonds is like giants hearing the

403
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: job Dan Dan got at the bottom of the ocean. Um,

404
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: did they tell you never wear the earring again? Which,

405
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: by the way, that was infringing on your religious beliefs

406
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: at the time. I am not a person who gets

407
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: offended by that stuff. But yeah, nobody tells better lawyer

408
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: jokes than lawyers. Yeah. Anyway, So there's a super fan

409
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: Tony Laman he had filed a fraud suit against the

410
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: NFL before the Super Bowl and UH connected to the

411
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: blown past interference called the NFC Title Game. And he,

412
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: because he's a lawyer and he knows the little tricks,

413
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: he crafted the suit so that damage stay under a

414
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: certain figure. It's seventy five dollars, which means it stays

415
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: in state courts and in front of most likely judges

416
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: that support the Saints. So he's trying to work in everything. Now.

417
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: The problem here is that you know UH. And then

418
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: on top of the courts then ruled in Louisiana that

419
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and three game officials would have

420
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: to be deposed in September. I mean, what a waste

421
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: of taxpayers money. It's a football game anyway. The NFL

422
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: is appealing that ruling, and now the Saints have to

423
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: because they don't want to get involved with this, They've

424
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: had to come out and file a brief in support

425
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: of the league. I mean, the final insult to injury

426
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Now we have to support the NFL

427
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: to drop a lawsuit against you routing our franchise with

428
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 1: a horrible p I call. It's a wild scenario going on,

429
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: and it is very much up in the air. There

430
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: is the possibility that league figures, including the top of

431
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: the food Chame Goodell has to uh answer answer questions.

432
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: What's his named? Tony Lemon? Yeah, I adore what he's done.

433
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful. It's chaotic, it's strange. This made

434
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: me spend a week in jail. They should someone should

435
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: do like a owner suit to Drew Brees for throwing

436
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: an interception to start overtime. People kind of forget that

437
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: they do such a It's like overtime starts, Drew Brees

438
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: immediately throws an interception that gives the Rams the win,

439
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: and no one's mentioned that once since then. Just it's

440
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: worth mentioning and a little bit more context. The NFL

441
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: is arguing, in their quest to dismiss this entire travesty

442
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: UH that the lawsuit, if it proceeds, would allow other fans,

443
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: thousands of fans, to sue the league whenever they want

444
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: over something as simple as a missed call, which is

445
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: fair third strike that was called a ball. Sue the league.

446
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: What this man should be in jail wasting time and money?

447
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: There you go. I I my counterpoint. I find it delicious.

448
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: You should be in jail too. All right, let's spin around. Um,

449
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: A lot of injury stuff to go through, so will

450
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: be kind of quick here. Robert Quinney's you know, it's

451
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: on my radar that he'd had the club early in

452
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: the season because he had that thumb surgery for the Cowboys. Well,

453
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: might have avoid the club because he's not playing. Robert

454
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: Quinn's availability for week one was already in question because

455
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: of the fracture fracture left hand. Well now he won't

456
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: to be available weeks one or two suspended for using

457
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: a masking agent. And yes, uh he fired out an

458
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: angry um statement saying he is innocent. Perhaps he is.

459
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: I will not get into that right now unless you

460
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: guys have a take other injuries. Nate Sudfeld broken wrist

461
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: for the Eagles, so their depth chart just got lighter

462
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: there behind Carson Wentz, Cody Castler. Uh wow really Uh?

463
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like Sudfeld is necessarily super trustworthy.

464
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: Although he's made some throws in the three season, that

465
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: is a big drop off. Remember John d Filippo, when

466
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: I interviewed him for that one story I did, talked

467
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: up Sunfeld put a lot of resources. That's their situation.

468
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: If Carson Wentz gets hurt again, he's expected him a

469
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: six weeks. He had surgery today Friday. Gabe Jackson, uh

470
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: the Raiders right guard, will miss approximately eight weeks with

471
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: an m c L injury. The athletics of Victor for

472
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: uh Taffer John Taffery today two times, three times he's

473
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: been mentioned. I don't know. I think so. I know

474
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: he's a buddy of Mike Silver's from back. Then that's

475
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: a big loss. I think if the Raiders are gonna

476
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: be good, it's gonna be or surprising. It's gonna because

477
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: of their offense, and it's gonna because their offensive line

478
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: is better, and he's a big part. Well, they gave

479
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: up the It's easy to forget a Car has been

480
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: beaten up in some of these games in the past.

481
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: They gave up the third no sacks last year in

482
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: your wide receivers on the lamb. There were games last

483
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: year where Car could not operate because of his line,

484
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think there're any better this year. Terrible

485
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: setback for Jermaine Curse, the veteran wide receiver trying to

486
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: get his career back on track with the Detroit Lions.

487
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: That won't happen in twenty nineteen. He's been diagnosed with

488
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: a broken left leg and quote assorted injuries to his

489
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: ankle very ugly UH play in preseason opener against the Patriots.

490
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: So um curse is at twenty nine years old. This

491
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tough one to come back for.

492
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: From good luck to him. Uh. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

493
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: Vita vea first round last year defensive lineman Adam Schefter,

494
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: reports that he's been diagnosed with a sprain L c

495
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: L and we'll be sidelines six to eight weeks. They hope,

496
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: They hope he'll be ready and before that. But week

497
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: one not looking too hot. Now. There is a transition.

498
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Greg, you talked about this earlier in

499
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: the week, Any injury that happens, what's today August night,

500
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: Any injury that happens before August seven, everyone probably ready

501
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: for a week one. Once you hit August nine, all

502
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it pushes back and it's like probably

503
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: open week two, week three, probably good chance he mrs

504
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: the open. There is that cut off. Anyway, Vita is

505
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: on the other side of that. Bad news for him

506
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: because you know they're expecting a lot hell cl is

507
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: no joke. That's more serious than an m c O.

508
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: There there, d line looked like it could be if

509
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: they were healthy, kind of spicy, a little vita via

510
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: and Dominican sue stopping the run in the middle. But

511
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: that's a big loss, a lot of a lot of

512
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Niners injury news to go through. Nick Bosa questionable for

513
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: week one season right, he was right on the borderline

514
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: right there. He was right on the Dalton line there

515
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: when he heard that ankle earlier this week. He's questionable

516
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: for week one. It's John Lynch the Niners GM said

517
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: it's not a full blown high ankle sprain, which is

518
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: that could kill your season or ruin half of one,

519
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: but it's got components to it that doesn't sound Do

520
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: you know that sounds like a high ankle spring Yeah.

521
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: Jared McKinnon add him to the list of people. The

522
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: running back for the Niners got a PRP injection, who

523
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: was excited that that, of course is the plat lit

524
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: platelet rich platelet rich plasma injection, which is just taken off. Well,

525
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: they take out your blood and spin it and then

526
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: put it back in right, and not only that, it's yeah.

527
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: I tweeted a little bit about it, and I heard

528
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: about a procedure called the vampire facial, which is a

529
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: popular popular move among celebrities where they use PRP technology

530
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: to take out your blood and then inject it into

531
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: your face. I would say that there, I know for

532
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: a fact that there is a young star quarterbacks wife

533
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: vampire Vampire facials on the name though. I just want

534
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: to thank Greg for bringing this to my attention. That

535
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: is my fantasy team name for my team, Vampire Facial.

536
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: I'm writing it down right now so I don't forget

537
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: sounds awesome. I watched one live on an Instagram story

538
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: being being done and it is quite a sight. So

539
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: I've never heard of it until today when when people

540
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: responded about the vampire I'll tell you offline, who doesn't.

541
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: You can see it yourself, Ricky, any experience yourself with

542
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: a vampire facial? Yeah, couple, Really, it's a ridiculous human beings.

543
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm three years away from being able to

544
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: afford that. Um. Jason Varette, the Niners cornerback, is a

545
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: what was deemed a not a minor ankle injury. He'll

546
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: miss the entire preseason. Rap sheet UM reported earlier that

547
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: it was minor, but Kyle Shanahan, the Iers coach, said

548
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the opposite, So not a good look there. And also finally,

549
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: Kawan Williams, uh Niners defensive back, he's out for the

550
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: entire preseason after a scope on his knee. So the

551
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Niners are all sorts of beat up. Now. The good

552
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: thing is you don't hear anything about Jimmy j In fact,

553
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: you hear everything is good about how his his progress is.

554
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: But especially you hate the Nick Bosa one because that

555
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: sounds like something that could potentially throw his entire rookie

556
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: year off track. And he missed a lot of the

557
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: o t A season two with a different injury, and

558
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: you do just his brothers struggles to stay healthy as well, right,

559
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't you know, you hate to say, like if

560
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: someone's injury prone or not, but he is. He is

561
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: a crucial, crucial part of the forty Niners defense getting better.

562
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: And if they don't have him, and if d Ford

563
00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: is not, then suddenly that whole rebuild doesn't look nearly

564
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: is That's been the story of this of this rebuilding,

565
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: constant injuries and I look at a guy like Jerrick McKinnon.

566
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: You go out and you went on got Tevin Coleman,

567
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: You have Matt Breda. Are they already I mean, are

568
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: we at the point where maybe Jerrick McKinnon never really

569
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: becomes a large part of this offense their team building?

570
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like an I R. Boomerang guy. They blew

571
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: it by having him practice lightly for a day. They

572
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: can't put him on the p Also, it sounds like

573
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: a request a pay cut. Guy. I think you're not

574
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: wrong with haircut. Take a haircut. Take a hair cut.

575
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: All right, that's what's happening in the news. Alright, some

576
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: takeaways from preseason opener action. Uh well, let me start

577
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: where about it is. It's because at the end of

578
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, what is the NFL about?

579
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: What's what's sports about? Who won and who lost? Take

580
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: a quick look at the standings. We're gonna dig into

581
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: that a little bit deeper. Yeah, just be aware. I

582
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: just want you guys to be aware that for all

583
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: the excitement and all the high open, all the pop

584
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: around the Atlanta Falcons, I guess who's O and two

585
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: right now? Not the Detroit Lions and two. My friends

586
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, what was the takeaway you had from

587
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: watching football? It's football. It's doesn't matter, it doesn't count,

588
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: but it is something that we could actually watch takeaways

589
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: from the action. There's not a ton in in the

590
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: first preseason week. But the thing I think it can

591
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: be valuable is just identifying a young player too, like

592
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: Preston Williams in Miami who made more plays in that

593
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: game with Josh Rosen, then plenty of guys making their

594
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: entire career like la Kwan Treadwell has never made. He

595
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: hasn't made close to three to four the players that

596
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: Preston Williams made in that in that game. So it's

597
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: just like, hey, here's something one to watch like. It

598
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: was incredible the athleticism he showed on all four of

599
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: his catches. He's been great in camp. He might be,

600
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, in their top three receiver rotations. Just like, hey,

601
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: if your Dolphins fan get excited. Rosen was a little

602
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: up and down, but also moved the ball up and

603
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: down the field and had three, four or five really

604
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: nice throws. So it's kind of like, okay, I like,

605
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: if you're a Dolphins fan of hey, there or something.

606
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: I guess I had to check this game out, or

607
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: I'll just take your guy's word for it. But the

608
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: one thing I heard about Rosen is that he threw

609
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: a bad pick, but he was working behind a second

610
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: team line and they were and it was comically bad.

611
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: And what can you learn about Josh Rosen or any

612
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: quarterback when you literally you have turnstile in front of you.

613
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: That's a tough situation. How do you beat how do

614
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: you beat out Ryan Fitzpatrick? How do you stay healthy?

615
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: How do you make plays? But what he did last year,

616
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit last night where under duress

617
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: he made a couple really nice throws. And he's been

618
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: done his whole career. He settled down. He had a

619
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: couple of touchdown drives and would have been a couple more.

620
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: He's had a positive couple of coach also said he

621
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: needs to rain down the Cowboys. Yeah, there was one

622
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: one particular throw where a guy is all over him

623
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: and he just totally just threw it up in the

624
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: air and Preston Williams came down with it. But it

625
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: was it was lucky. Um. I watched the Etch Giants

626
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: game and a couple takeaways. First of all, damnit, Sam

627
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: Donald looks good. I'm so excited for him. By the way,

628
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: the Jets uniforms look good too. Everybody else take a

629
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: look at him. Helmets. But if you're happy with it,

630
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: that's all that. I don't think they somehow. What I

631
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: think they pulled off is they really did take the

632
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: nineties uniform and kind of merge it with the their reboot,

633
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: their back to the future uniforms. I like the helmets, Okay,

634
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. If you're cool with it, we're good.

635
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: But more importantly, Sam Donald looks good now. The Giants

636
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: are all out of whack. In the first Donald played

637
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: just one possession, but he carved them up um five

638
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: completions through a touchdown pass. Jamison Crowder, you want to look.

639
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: We're not going to the Fantasy extravaganza yet, but Jamison

640
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Crowder is a guy on the radar um the way

641
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: that offense runs uh and with way Adam Gaze operates.

642
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: Remember how Jarvis Landry, how he piled up receptions. I

643
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: could see crowd Or being a guy that approaches a

644
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: hundred catches. Maybe if he stays healthy, which is a

645
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: big part of it. Adam Gaze, you smelling salts before

646
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: kickoff an amazing little bit of video that like circulated

647
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: across Twitter last night. What did that? Due to his eyes,

648
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: it was all it did what you imagine that it

649
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: would do. Dan Pompeii over at The Athletic wrote a

650
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: piece about gaze Um that was illuminating, including because my wife,

651
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: for instance, my beautiful Emily, both our children h C

652
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: section births, and it is a I don't know anything simone, now, No, no,

653
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure Emily is excited that this is being broadcast

654
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: to U multiple it's it's a beautiful maybe maybe maybe

655
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: she is excited. It's it's thank God for science because

656
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: and and medical technology because women mark you have an issue.

657
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: For thousands of years, women died on operating tables before

658
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: these things were options. I don't have a stance on s. Second,

659
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying like I preferred those days when women would die.

660
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: You know that is I am being spoken four not

661
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: correctly anyway. Having been there for to C section births,

662
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: it is a major major surgery to the point where

663
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: to get the baby out you have to remove organs

664
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: and you set them outside the body and then put

665
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: them back in. This is a real thing, and I

666
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: lived it. And I'll tell you what Adam Gaze in

667
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: this profile Dan Pompeii, right after the baby came out,

668
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: there's another hour of surgery about to put everything back

669
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: in place. He said you good, honey, and she was

670
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: like okay, and he took off and went back to

671
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos facility to meet with with Peyton Manning. That's wild.

672
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: It is wild. I let like in West you, I

673
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: think you kind of talked about that being a bit

674
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: of a puff piece around Gaze. If you go look

675
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: at Pompeii's Twitter timeline, he dug into some other stuff

676
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: that I found interesting, a little bit of the other

677
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: side of the Adam Gaze experience. I also, yeah, I

678
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: had a someone connected in the journalism world, closely to

679
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: the New York Jets that said that there is a

680
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: lot more to Adam Gates that was not talked about

681
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: in that piece. I mean, I find him fascinating. Um,

682
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust him, but I find

683
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: him fascinating. But anyway, so, and then on the other

684
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: side of it, West Daniel Jones, he goes five for five,

685
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: throws a touchdown for the Giants, and after the um

686
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: the touchdown drive and of course, all the reporters asking

687
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: is this a real quarterback competition? Now, you almost got

688
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: the sense of Pat Shermer would have rather Jones didn't

689
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: do that because he wants us to go away. He

690
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: wants I think in in the Giants plan in their

691
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: mind as they want Eli to start the season and

692
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: then give way. But Jones does have the advantage of

693
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: with actual games being played. If he goes off in

694
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: these three or four preseason weeks, that's that's gonna there's

695
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a real loud drumbeat for him to play immediately.

696
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: So it is something to track. I don't think it's

697
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: a total done deal that Eli is gonna start with

698
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: God forbid, you want to play. If you're the coach

699
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: the better quarterback, I think it is a done deal.

700
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: But these these preseason weeks are crucial. The least can

701
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: get a lot short. That's what I'm and ricky quarterbacks

702
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: can put that thought into the coach's mind where if

703
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: you play great in August, then maybe you're playing Week three.

704
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: If Eli Eli Eli in the offense were booed off

705
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: the field, well it was three downs and I'm just

706
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: saying like whatever, like immense goodwill was there on the

707
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: part of the fans is they're they're ready to turn

708
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: the page. So we'll see one of that Pat Daniel

709
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: Jones every time he shows up to a Yankees game. Confused,

710
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: confused group, Man, I think you misread my ire towards

711
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: the Giants. Okay, go ahead. There's nothing I want more

712
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: than for Daniel Jones to be good and interesting, so

713
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: Giants fans have something to look forward to and the

714
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: media can start actually covering a team that's worthy of

715
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: all the expectations they place on it. Perennially exciting to

716
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: see West on the Giants bandwagon all of a sudden

717
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of episodes, West, you have a preseason

718
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: take away? Can I do? Like to lightning ones that

719
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: don't need a whole lot of analysis, But just to

720
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Christian Wade the Bills running back from England, the rugby

721
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: player already way more intriguing than Jared Hayne. Ever, was

722
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: what explosion on the Touch Show? Because there are fewer

723
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: than one player skill position player per team who have

724
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: angle beating speed with the ball in their hands, and

725
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: this guy beat the angles with his speed. Who knows

726
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: if he's a running back? I mean, I don't know

727
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: if he can run between the tackles or do the

728
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: things that have the instincts that are running back has.

729
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: But on that one one play, he showed me that

730
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: he's interesting. Um. And and the second thing, if you

731
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: viewed Bears running back David Montgomery as a dark horse

732
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: rookie the Year candidate and a major upgrade on Jordan Howard,

733
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: his debut was solid confirmation bias talk about angle, beating

734
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: speed and being able to stop on a dime. He

735
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: looks really fun to watch. And Matt Naggie, I'll know

736
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: how to use him. Him and Cohen in the same

737
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: backfield is going to be spicy. Mark Um a couple

738
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: of little nuggets I thought, along with Christian Wade, you

739
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: know the preseason, you can it's cool little things happen

740
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: for around people that we may never see again in

741
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: the regular season. In the Browns game, Damon Shey Giseppi,

742
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: who essentially snuck his way into a tryout by going

743
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: up to Alonzo Highsmith after googling him and and pretending

744
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: to who that he belonged to the tryouts. He was.

745
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: He was a guy that in college had great return

746
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: skills and he returned an eighty six yard punt returned

747
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: for score last night at the end of a romp

748
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: over the Redskins that cleared the Browns bench. In one

749
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: cool little footnote, he lost his cleats before the game,

750
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham, who's taken a liking to him, said

751
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: where mine, and he wore Odell Beckham's cleats when he

752
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: ran that thing back. Secondly, bad news for old Geno Smith,

753
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 1: who's out for seven to day to ten days during

754
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: a critical center of the preseason, while Paxton Lynch went

755
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: out and assassinated the Broncos cart three. I wonder if

756
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: case Keenum is as Greg I think you noted a

757
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: solid month ago in a column. Definitely someone they're trying

758
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: to shop potentially. I don't know if you want to

759
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: roll into the preceded into the regular season without a

760
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: veteran like him. But he started him last night. He

761
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: made a nice throw. He's fine. But then the rook

762
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins to me very up and down, made one

763
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: awesome throw and then had two killer picks. Next up

764
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: XFL for you, boy, Gino. Because the Paxton puts together

765
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: one more of those performances, they're just gonna say, yeah,

766
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: it's developed a kid. It's a long preseason. I also

767
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: loved Jacoby Myers because Dan where we grew up, Jacoby

768
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: and Myers was a long running legal house ad that

769
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 1: would nag you during reruns if you were staying home

770
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: from school and there in the New England area. Yeah,

771
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: he's in the perfect New England area and in the northeast.

772
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: Jacoby and Myers was the TV legal powerhouse. But of

773
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: course there was also called The Loss Is of Richard P.

774
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: Nine Mark because sometimes taccidents happened in your anchor banker

775
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: like he understands your anchor banker, she under next story

776
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: is the guy you know is throwing at Jacoby Meyers

777
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: part of that game, I mean the searches over. The

778
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: Patriots have their next time, Brady, it's Jared'stidham. If you're

779
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: come in, looks good. He's the future. If Maurice Harris

780
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: lasted three days as the number one receiver in New England,

781
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was the same guy. I can't I

782
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: can't give hey Harris. Harris scored the first touchdown of

783
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: the preseason. He also had a bad mistake. And yes,

784
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: also I mean on the other end of the spectrum

785
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray the number one overall pick He looked like

786
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick um. All seven of his

787
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: passes were caught, uh, six of seven final and god,

788
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: what is his ceiling as a rookie. They're fun, It's

789
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: gonna be very it. Yeah, he looks like a guy

790
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: who's been in the same offense since high school and

791
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: he has what is he going to do this year?

792
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully hopefully not hopefully not get hurt if they protect

793
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: him like they did in that game where three different

794
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: times free rushers came after him. That's why I think

795
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: they might have played him a little longer. But going

796
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: up against the other starters, he had to evade the

797
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: rush like three different times, and he did it amazingly

798
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: each time. But they're a bad often of line that's

799
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: already really hurt and that that's well, the challenge with

800
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: that offense. It's four or five wide receivers tight end

801
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: free with maybe a running back and five a bad

802
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: offensive line of five guys that need to defense is

803
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: going to figure about to go after the quarterback. So

804
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: do we have to swap out because Christian Wade, by

805
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: the way, circling back to the Bills, the former rugby

806
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: player he is. He's assigned through the NFL's International Player

807
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: Pathway program and because of that, the Bills can carry

808
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: him on their practice squad. UH an extra player and

809
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: it's it's fine. Is Christian Wade going to replace Mobo

810
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: Ringer for our updates? We gotta that's a conversation we

811
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: have to have. Maybe we take it offline, but at

812
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: what point do we pull the plug on mobile bow

813
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: Ringer is the guy we're tracking. I just still want to.

814
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose the the theme music that

815
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: comes with most Christian wilwhere. But yeah, if Mobo doesn't

816
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: make it through into the seat, maybe we put a

817
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: clock on him through this preseason. I mean, he's been

818
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: so highly relevant for up until this. Penry Watson or

819
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: the director of International, vice president of International, he listens

820
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: to every episode and every time we talk about this,

821
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: I could actually hear him and his office going, oh Dad,

822
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: it's such an awesome Well mobs into trouble right now

823
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: because the Bengals are rather deep at tight end. It's

824
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: like probably the only position they're deep on the entire rafter.

825
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: They have a second round pick. They have C. J. Ozama,

826
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: who's their starter, and they have Tyler Eiffort, so we

827
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: move them again. I think shift them into the backfield.

828
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: Was a versatile player we're talking about, all right, That's

829
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: what's happening in the preseason. Heaven Sent Fragrance by Helen

830
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: ruben Steyle. Spray it on and heavenly things happen. Heaven sent,

831
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: laughing it, living it, loving it. You'll find heaven sent fragrant,

832
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: said Helena ruben Stein encounters everywhere you. I love this,

833
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: did he ask? Baby? Suddenly you're all the things. Here

834
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: we go. What you people don't know about? Teams no

835
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: one is talking about or maybe it's just us. All right,

836
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: so here it is. Let's get into it already. Set

837
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: it up in part at the top of the show. Uh.

838
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: During the segment, there will be fourteen NFL teams, some

839
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: of which we talked about already today, probably all of them. Uh.

840
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: And for this segment and the segment alone, they are

841
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: not allowed to be the focus of any conversation. And

842
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 1: beyond that, they cannot even be referenced in any way.

843
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: And that includes not just the team name, but if

844
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about it, for instance, Uh, you know the Patriots.

845
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: You can't mention Bill Belichick. There is no reference to

846
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: that team or anyone connected to it, and you will

847
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: be penalized for it. Here's this pink construction helmet that's

848
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: been outside our studio for months. Um, get your wallets out,

849
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: because anytime you said and I will be moderating this, okay,

850
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: anytime I hear it, or Ricky Hollywood hears it. Um,

851
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: you will hear this mention pink team, mention band team mentioned,

852
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: and you will drop a dollar and it will go

853
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: to a charity of Greg's choice. You're missing an opportunity

854
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: that the charity sounds great, but I thought you were

855
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: going to say, we have to wear that hat until

856
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: the next person pink. Much better idea if you mentioned

857
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: a team. Thank you, Greg. You wear the hot pink

858
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: helmet until someone else mentions a band team. Now I

859
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: am not involved with this. I am a moderator. It's

860
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: important that I'm here, so I cannot wear the pink.

861
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: You're not making any of that, I will not be.

862
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: I have to be tracking. This is important that someone

863
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: is tracking. Well, we can track it when you talk.

864
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: It's more important that you have a true moderator in

865
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: this situation. I will report to you. I will share

866
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: thoughts potentially on the various topics which would put me

867
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: in line to wear the helmet. However, um I will

868
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: serve mostly as a moderator. Here. Let's get into it

869
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: so way. Why are the teams we can't talk about? Oh?

870
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: Here are the band teams? The New England Patriots out,

871
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: the Jets out, Dolphins, Fish Tank is out, the Ravens out,

872
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: get out of that nest. The Brownies sorry Mark out,

873
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: first team out. I mean we've spent like twenty minutes

874
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: on them already, and the Browns are out? Are you

875
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna tell us twice? The Texans are out? The Cults,

876
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: Sorry West, They're gone. They're not an August team. Broncos

877
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: sorry West, they gone. Raiders out, Cowboys out out, Eagles

878
00:46:54,200 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: they gone. Mark Brown's out. Packers also out. O Rams out. Well,

879
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: that makes Mark happy, and the Browns are out again.

880
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: If you hear this, that would mean that you have

881
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: triggered the alarms teams. I don't know what that says.

882
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: I think it says that the Patriots, Jets, and Browns

883
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: are all the ac um. Okay, here we go. Let's

884
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: get into it. Get us going Greg, so just and again,

885
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: what do you get there? All right, somebody else start,

886
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: But I just want to say, talk about anything you

887
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: want about those teams. You have, what fourteen teams? What

888
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: does that mean? Eighteen teams to choose from? Mark, choose one.

889
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the Carolina Panthers who last year,

890
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: if you remember, I had a list of teams that

891
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: were annoying me highly and that I simply didn't believe.

892
00:47:53,840 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: We put on the big helme it. It's gonna look

893
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: good on west this element that was so easy. I

894
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: can't go on over now we can make it hell

895
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: that looks good on you. But if the west side

896
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati gets ahold of this, you could be a

897
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: workman in a second. Yeah, I'm not really worried about

898
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: the west is Incinnati gating ahold of this. If spice

899
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: Rackx sees this, he will move back to Vegas. Spice

900
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 1: Rex got his own issue anyway, go on. I think

901
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers have some of Some of what is happening

902
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: in Carolina is flying under the radar because of the

903
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, concern around cam Newton's recovery, and there are

904
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: some concerning elements. But let's in this in this world,

905
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: presume that he's healthy by week one two. People. I

906
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: think that the Panthers for a long time feel like

907
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: they've been the same seven or eight guys on defense

908
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: and the same group of people on offense that you

909
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: kind of could take it into year after year. Huge

910
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 1: leap coming for Curtis Samuel and it's it's he's to

911
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: a major breakout figure in that offense. Ron Rivera talked

912
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: about him as someone who is light years ahead of

913
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: where he was as a rookie. I've thought this quote

914
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: from Tory Smith about Curtis Samuel was interesting. He's had

915
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: the most growth out of any player I've ever seen

916
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: in terms of confidence, everything. I'm expecting him to have

917
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: a huge year. He's worked his way to be in

918
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: that position. So I think the offense, which is starting

919
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: to shift in the last couple of seasons, starts to

920
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: be anchored around people that didn't even exist in Carolina

921
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: going back a few years. Curtis Samuel a big year.

922
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: And I think that Marty Hernie, who you know, we've

923
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: laughed at, who he's on a second run is the

924
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: Panthers GM brought in is almost an emergency patch and

925
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: he got them in the cap hell the first time

926
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: he was around. Has done a nice job in a

927
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: in a number of ways. And you know, and I

928
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: think they with with Brian Burns. Their first pick looks

929
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: like right away, someone that is going to give something

930
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: they need, which is pass rush and a home run.

931
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: Pick had two sacks last night, very act a player

932
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: was someone that played every down at Florida State, a

933
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: totally reliable, versatile dude. So it's new anchors in Carolina,

934
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: and it's easy to forget. They were six and two

935
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: last year before the wheels fell off the course, before

936
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: Cam's shoulder went spiritually separating from his body down the stretch.

937
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, I think this is a team that

938
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: can win the division and take New Orleans out. It

939
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty settled roster. They have a lot

940
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: of impact players and both sides of all they need

941
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: their health greg Olsen, Cam Newton, Gerald McCoy, Luke Keickley.

942
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: But you know, all these additions. Yeah, I really like

943
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: what they did in the offseason. Bruce Irving, is there

944
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: now Burns? You mentioned, Uh, there are many teams that

945
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: have good three guys that can make their own plays

946
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: after the catch like Samuel More, DJ Moore and Christian McCaffrey,

947
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: as as the Panthers. Oh, young guys, Chris Hogan, I'm

948
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: not as high end. We're not allowed to before. I

949
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: always forget where he's from. It's a team up. He

950
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: was the only guy Tom Brady was throwing incompletion connected

951
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: You're done. Every time Dan asked a question, I totally

952
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: forget the game that we're playing. Got the pink helmet?

953
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: Your head looks huge, Greg not so much of a

954
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: workman persona to uh West, Go ahead, you're up next. Dan.

955
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: About ten minutes ago, you said sports are about winning

956
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: and losing. Absolutely, I've always felt that, and I promised

957
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: that Dick deeper, So indulge a little bit of a

958
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: preamble here. Have you ever think about the evolution of

959
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: fandom from childhood to grown up. When you're a child,

960
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: it's all about the players. They're your heroes. They can

961
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: do no wrong. That's how you see the game, That's

962
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 1: how you experienced the game. The first sign that you

963
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: are losing your hair and getting a fat tire around

964
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: your midsection, and you're a middle aged fan, as you

965
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: start seeing sport through the lens of team building. Why

966
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: are some teams perennial contenders whereas others are always like

967
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: a lost ball in high weeds? And the one thread

968
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: that runs through all successful organizations in every major team

969
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: sport is the ability to conceive a simple idea of

970
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: what kind of team they want to have and then

971
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: stick to that plan in the face of adversity. Perennial

972
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: contenders have patients and planning, often coming from one strong

973
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: minded visionary, and owners and presidents lose sight of this

974
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: immutable sports law that is the planning and the patients

975
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: that when when you have a guiding purpose or philosophy,

976
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: each move is greater than some of his parts, because

977
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: each new player complements each other and the system. And

978
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: then you look at a team like the Redskins. Where

979
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: does an expensive luxury item like box safety landing collins

980
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: fit on a team that has no offensive nucleus surrounding

981
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: its quarterback of the future. This team should be rebuilding

982
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: or embracing the process, but the roster and salary cap

983
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: are built for two thousand sixteen, two thousand fifteen um.

984
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: This team has built to win the season, but it's

985
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: the two season. What you people, what you Philistines in grades.

986
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: What you pig skin ignor amesis don't understand is that

987
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: the Redskins are in worse shape than any team in

988
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: the league and have a legitimate shot at the number

989
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: one pick in the draft, which usually comes down to

990
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: in at quarterback play, in injuries. That's what usually gets

991
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: you the number one pick. Other doormat teams have a plan.

992
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: Washington is simply playing Game of Thrones, consolidating, keeping power,

993
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: removing all challenges to the power. And it's fitting that

994
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: they're in the political capital of the country and in

995
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: their in their chain of command. Who can tell the

996
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: bosses no there? Wow? Yep, And Bruce Allen feels like

997
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: someone who's been behind where the rest of the league

998
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: is going for a long time. And I mean he

999
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: brought it around. I mean that's like, that's some people

1000
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: there might have been thinking that the Redskins are going

1001
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: to be lousy and maybe the worst team in Link,

1002
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: but they wouldn't have brought in the geopolitical complications. That's

1003
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: what you idiots would not be cooked at their salary.

1004
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: Cap Adrian Peterson, Alex Smith, Josh Norman, Trent Williams, Jordan Read,

1005
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis, Ryan Kerrigan, Donald Penn. This is a two

1006
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen roster. Looks like they have a nice building

1007
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: black with Terry McLaurin. I love Terry McLaren, Dwayne Haskins.

1008
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: This team is not built to win in two thousand.

1009
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: Here would be my fear that what could end up

1010
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: happening is that let me make sure stop the Cardinals.

1011
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: What happened with the Cardinals last year? That what happens

1012
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: now is they do a two and fourteen, they drop

1013
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: a three and thirteen bomb Washington and those decision makers

1014
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: fall in love with a quarterback and all of a sudden,

1015
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: you have that type of situation cooking because do you

1016
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: trust them to know how to build a team, how

1017
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: to be patient? You said everyone has Everyone does have

1018
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: a plan initially, but sticking to the plant is the

1019
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 1: hard part when the adversity. It's the old Mike Tyson line.

1020
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the mouth.

1021
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: Everyone has a plan, but you need a guiding purpose

1022
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: in philosophy, and not every organization has that. Well, what

1023
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: is the Redskins raise? We do not survive until next

1024
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: year and keep getting the paychecks and everyone's fighting for

1025
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: that like Jake Gruden has. This is why I say

1026
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: their game of through. Salon's got his own. You know everyone,

1027
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: it's all about power in Washington rather identity free. We

1028
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: will have to do our maybe we'll call it maybe

1029
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: a head coach survival rankings or something before the season starts.

1030
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: Jake Gruden is in a terrible spot right now, terrible spot. Greg,

1031
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: Are you now ready to go? I mean I was ready.

1032
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just felt like I wanted

1033
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: to hear what the flow is going to be like? Well,

1034
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: attempt to take you seriously. It was getting a vampire

1035
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: facial after today's show. It's tough here, Um campaigns. It's

1036
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: a little extra product. It's interesting there was only one

1037
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: team that was available in the a f C East

1038
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: to talk about UM. Who wasn't The Buffalo Bills are

1039
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: the team nice? Try? What am I gonna do? Wear?

1040
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: Two hats? Are the team that While we talk about

1041
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: him here, a lot of it's on the offense and

1042
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: what I think people are missing out there kind of

1043
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: the football Simpleton's Let's be honest, is that Sean McDermott's

1044
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: in his third season as their head coach and he's

1045
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: in his second full season with his guy Brandon Mean

1046
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: bringing the players aboard, and that he is someone unlike

1047
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: the Redskins that I think has had a long term

1048
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: vision and has had is seen like where this defense

1049
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: is going, and now that we're in season three, I

1050
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: think like it's here. It was a fluke they got

1051
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: to the wild card a couple of years ago. That

1052
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: was a head of schedule. But I think this guy's

1053
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: a great defensive coach who has really built up a

1054
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: group of players who are now ready to go. And

1055
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 1: I think that starts in the secondary, and that's really

1056
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: what people are in talking about. We've talked about tremain

1057
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: Edwin Edmonds on this show, who could be a breakout

1058
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: middle linebacker at Oliver Uh looks like a great top

1059
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: ten pick. He's had a big camp. They have a

1060
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: really nice rotation on the defensive line that reminds you

1061
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: of McDermott in Carolina. But if McDermott can do anything

1062
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,479
Speaker 1: better than than any coach out there, it is coach

1063
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: up the secondary and this group is great. Navious Whites

1064
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,919
Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Micah Hyde

1065
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poyer don't really get a lot of notice.

1066
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: But that is a terrific safety tandem that's been in

1067
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: this system now for a few years. They love Levi Wallace,

1068
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: Who's who's really earning that second cornerback job. They have

1069
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: depth at cornerback where like the Patriots, they can match

1070
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: up to different players. They have big guys, they have

1071
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: small guys, and McDermott really teaches that secondary well. So

1072
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: even if they're not big names, I think there are

1073
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot to deal with. And I think getting to

1074
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: the third season where they have some continuity and everyone

1075
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: knows this defense really makes them prime to be one

1076
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the league. I love that.

1077
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: And if you look at what happened, one of the

1078
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: reasons that Sean McDermott got a head coaching job was

1079
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: because in Carolina when Da Gettleman went out of his

1080
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: way to not pay cornerbacks and safety's money and and

1081
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: McDermott year after year had to work with no names,

1082
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: and he kept coaching them up and they were never

1083
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: a liability. They outperformed what you would have thought. And

1084
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: he's doing it with more talent now in Buffalo, and

1085
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: he's found his guys like Toron Johnson is not a

1086
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: guy that we've ever talked about. But he's a fourth round,

1087
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: second year pick who they really love as their nickelback.

1088
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: Like he is their guy. He's been in their system,

1089
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: Their safeties are there, guys, and I just look up

1090
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: and down his roster and I think he thinks, all right,

1091
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: we've put it together. Let's be a top five defense.

1092
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: I think one misconception is that the Bills are really

1093
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: far away. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're not. This defense

1094
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: was number two and standard stats last year and number

1095
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: two on Football Outsiders Metrics. They're legit. One more time

1096
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: around the horn, Go ahead, mark what you a little

1097
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: raging tiny clowns failed to realize. Don't think we didn't notice.

1098
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: You didn't even mention all that last time around. I

1099
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I like to, when it comes to

1100
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: a seg that we've discussed for over twenty four hours

1101
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: over text, go in and completely get it wrong. And

1102
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: that is what I did. Thank you for the ship.

1103
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to say say it after

1104
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: the show privately since it up. That's why I believe

1105
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: me bring up these I knew the minute that I

1106
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: finished my ridiculous speech the first time around that I

1107
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: had failed the basic assignment. Don't think that I didn't

1108
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: understand that was on my shoulders. I was a little

1109
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: thrown off, all right, that'll be find I think we've

1110
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: we've we've hit that topic enough. What you little tiny

1111
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: circus clowns don't realize is that there is a contending

1112
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: team out there that has already given up on their

1113
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and they'll go through the masquerade of marching

1114
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: them out there as a starter because they don't really

1115
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: have much of another of a choice this time around.

1116
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: But the Marcus Mariotta experience is over before it begins,

1117
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: and I believe, I believe the deep inside team walls,

1118
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: in the most secretive rooms in Tennessee, they have already

1119
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: decided that Marcus Mariotta's career with the Titans is essentially out.

1120
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: It's over, and there is nobody in that on the

1121
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: roster right now that's going to replace him. I think

1122
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: that Ryan Tannehill was brought in as the dictionary definition

1123
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: of of us as a stop gap to come in,

1124
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: and probably I think he will start six plus games

1125
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: this year. Not because Ryan Tannehill is someone that they're

1126
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: going to view as their future quarterback, but they are

1127
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: going to absolutely assault free agency or the draft to

1128
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: find someone to replace Marcus Mariota, who is not developed

1129
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: or grown, whose stats are so far of an outlier

1130
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: compared to other quarterbacks. I understand that there's not a

1131
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: ton of talent around him, but they have drafted one

1132
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver after the next. It's not clicked, and at

1133
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: some point I look at the quarterback not raising the

1134
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: boats found them, and I believe that if you are

1135
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: the coach of the Titans or the general manager, your

1136
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: assessment has already been made. Barring Mariotta doing something miraculous

1137
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: this season, they're moving on already figured it out, by

1138
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: the way, because they're not They're gonna be competitive because

1139
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: they're not a bad team. They're a team that is

1140
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: talented both sides of the ball, and the quarterback play

1141
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: is not going to be bad enough uh to sink them.

1142
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: So they'll win seven to nine games, that would be

1143
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: my prediction for the Titans, UH. But that will not

1144
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: help them come draft time. So what they're gonna have

1145
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: to do is go to the trade market. Do you

1146
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: do you think they win that division? Do they make

1147
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I just I'm just want to follow

1148
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: me down this path that they're gonna go and see

1149
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: what's on the market, and your quarterback in week one

1150
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: will be Derek carran Isn't that mentioning someone from one

1151
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: of the band teams, the Oakland Raiders. Give me the helmet,

1152
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Give me the helmet, give me the helmet. I gotta

1153
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: eat it. I gotta eat the poops. Sometimes I just

1154
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: want to go on record as saying I think that

1155
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: your read on this situation is erroneous, both Dan and Mark.

1156
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that there are people in that building

1157
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: who have already moved on. I think they believe in

1158
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta, and I think they understand what you Knaves

1159
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: might not realize. You're turning it around now him. What

1160
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: you might not realize is that Titans went so run

1161
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: heavy last year because their wide receiver and tight end

1162
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: corep was decimated. There was no Delaney Walker Richard Matthews

1163
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: asked for his release at the beginning of the year.

1164
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: There was no chain moving slot receiver. So they get

1165
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: go out and get Adam Humphreys, they get a J. Brown.

1166
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker's coming back. Now they can evaluate their passing game.

1167
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Wes. Let's say you

1168
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: get another somewhat underwhelming It's not just about numbers, and

1169
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: it's it's about the system you're in if you're Mariotta,

1170
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: but you get an underwhelming campaign from him, at what

1171
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: point do we stop blaming everything around Marcus? Not that

1172
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: you're doing this, not in general, everything is there's so

1173
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: many excuses made from Marcus Mariotta at this point. Other

1174
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are coming in in year one and making players

1175
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: around them better. What I'm saying is this is year

1176
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: and I think the people in that building believe that.

1177
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: And I do think they believe in Marcus Mariotta. It's

1178
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: not to say Marcus Mariotte has lived up to expectations,

1179
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: but I think their decision makers like him. I think

1180
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the Mariota the person is so loyal like engenders so

1181
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: much loyalty that they do believe in him and that

1182
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: they do want the best for him, you know, I

1183
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: think they are. That's not how i'd make a quarterback evaluation.

1184
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: But he's a good guy. I'm just saying. I think

1185
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I think they're still on his side. They have not

1186
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: turned yet. All right, West, that was it? It wasn't there.

1187
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: It's it's news. It's a major shift in expectations that

1188
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers are even allowed in this discussion. And what

1189
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: you adults, Dollard's and all around rocks, blocks and stones

1190
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: don't understand is that it wasn't melodrama, melodrama or soap

1191
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: opera storylines that cost the Steelers their annual playoff appearance

1192
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: last year. They are much closer to the two thousand

1193
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen Chargers. They didn't make the playoffs quite simply

1194
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: because their Pro Bowl kicker costs them multiple games, miss

1195
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,959
Speaker 1: seven field goals and blew five extra points. And this

1196
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: is a playoff roster. It was last year is this year?

1197
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: In a division where the Bengals are banged up. The

1198
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Ravens have a raw corner corner quarterback, thank you, Ricky,

1199
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Here you go, Christopher. They project to have a top

1200
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: ten offense and defense according to Football Outsiders. Roethlisberger is

1201
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: coming off his best qb R since two thousand seven,

1202
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: and they have Devin Bush as a defensive rookie the

1203
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: year candidate who's already calling the plays on that defense.

1204
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: It is funny everyone was in a rush to bury

1205
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and yes they they don't have Antonio Brown

1206
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: this year, and that is a big deal. As much

1207
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: as everyone loves Jujuic Smith Schuster and this organization's ability

1208
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: to um build at the wide receiver position and quickly

1209
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, he wasn't gone. He wasn't there last year. Uh,

1210
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: and they still won what they won ten games last year? Right,

1211
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: this idea that I mentioned Antonio Brown who's on the Raiders,

1212
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: and Bell who's on the Jets. So you really made

1213
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: a tougher Dan with this whole like players count thing hard.

1214
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: But it's nine six and one. I I stand more

1215
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: important to make the point that this team was not

1216
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: in some deep decline that that that they had even

1217
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: by their bad year standards a lot of years that

1218
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: would have gotten the mid to beat the Patriots and

1219
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: they and they really could have beat the Saints in

1220
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Oh here you go, Greg, thank you. It's like, right,

1221
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: what it's wrong with I'm ashamed, all right. Uh, it's

1222
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: a lack of discipline. Amazing the Saints, by the way,

1223
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I can't talk about that on this list, and I

1224
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: still didn't that they're not who I'm talking about. But

1225
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I just found that inter oversight al right, close it out, Greg,

1226
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: so many options here, say it's that's an oversight. They

1227
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: should have been on They should have been on the list,

1228
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: should have been right you talking about the Saints plenty, Yeah,

1229
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: the Saints should have been there on the list for

1230
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: the last segment, so be aware. And should fIF teams

1231
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: now on the list? I'm having a hard time deciding,

1232
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: But let's let's go down to Atlanta, where a lot

1233
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: of focus on, Oh, they're going to run the ball

1234
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: more this year. That seems like an odd thing considering

1235
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 1: they have Julio Jones and Matt Ryan and they're really

1236
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: good at passing the ball, like a lot of things. Oh,

1237
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: they have their injured players back that they're gonna be

1238
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: fine on defense. But what you paste eating, you know,

1239
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: paint paint huffing, clue sniffing crack addicts out there probably

1240
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: who don't really talk about, is that they haven't top

1241
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: the top twenty in defensive d v o A and

1242
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: the entire dan Quinn era, So you can play him

1243
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: that on injuries or whatever. They haven't been good on

1244
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: defense throughout and dan Quinn is a defensive coach who

1245
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: is now their coordinator. And I wanna really bring up

1246
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: the fact that Tack McKinley and Vic Beasley, two guys

1247
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: who are not injured last year, are the two most

1248
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: important players on that defense to me, because they still

1249
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: don't have enough of a pass rush in my mind

1250
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: without those two guys who ultimately were disappointing. Tack McKinley

1251
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: came on a little bit at the end. I thought

1252
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: he was gonna be great. Vic Beasley has been really disappointing.

1253
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: And that defense, which is supposed to be the Seattle defense,

1254
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: it starts with your guys winning matchups up front, and

1255
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Tach McKinley and Vic Beasley, who are some of Thomas

1256
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: De Mittrof's, you know, biggest choices and guys that they've

1257
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: believed in over the years, have ultimately not kind of

1258
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: come through. And I think that defense and maybe that

1259
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: team goes as these two guys go, and they were

1260
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: not injured a year ago. They just have to be

1261
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: better and if not, I think they're gonna get left behind.

1262
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Uh in a division with the Panthers and another team

1263
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: which now I can't say, but I could say it

1264
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: because I'm wearing the helmet. Anyways, what's the difference. I mean,

1265
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: I did realize that, so let's start there. I agree

1266
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: with your um macro viewpoint that throughout the dan Quinn

1267
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: era defense has not been a strength. They always finished

1268
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: strong for some reason, like in December, but that's about it. Well,

1269
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: like two thousand seventeen season, you have to admit that

1270
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: for the last three months of the season they were

1271
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: a top ten defense and a half. They have the

1272
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: talent to do it. It's just a matter of staying healthy.

1273
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: And like you said, Vick Beasley and Tat McKinley got

1274
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: to get after the passer. I mean I remember then

1275
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: beating a certain team from Los Angeles in the playoffs

1276
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Yeah, they've had little stretches. They've had stretches.

1277
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Interesting team put them on the radar. I not feel bad.

1278
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: We thought about, you know, all the other I mean,

1279
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a fan of one of the

1280
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: teams that you were down to, it was an eighteen

1281
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 1: so one in eighteen got and we go around and

1282
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: you talk about six different teams and you still don't

1283
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: get the love. I understand why you're disillusioned. While you're

1284
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: disappointed right now, I mean, the Chiefs were one of

1285
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: those teams that was that's the number one seed in

1286
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: the FC year ago. I can't even make that list.

1287
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about you, Chiefs in your defense. We'll get

1288
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: to you make noise in the season. We imagine you will.

1289
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,759
Speaker 1: Second year in a row when I have not committed

1290
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: a penalty during this game. Pretty good at It's called

1291
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: it's called mental control for Lions fans, but it's really

1292
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,839
Speaker 1: not on us. It's on their team to get interesting.

1293
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just for a month, a month of sustained

1294
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: interesting play. We don't need to be tweeting out your

1295
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: twelve and four record in preseason game ones. Come on,

1296
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: don't do that. Oh yes, what was over over? Over?

1297
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: Did they? When I saw the tweet, the tweet where

1298
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: you're sending out where the Lions and we're twelve and

1299
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: four over the years in the preseason, I get that

1300
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: the that's not something that Matt Patricia's sunning off on

1301
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: any idea that's happening until after the disaster Obama is struck.

1302
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: But isn't there an in house discussion of this is

1303
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: a terrible idea and we're going to be made fun

1304
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: of for this or is someone just given free rein

1305
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: to tweet with twelve and four in our last sixteen

1306
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 1: preseason openers, which is tied with two other teams for

1307
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: the best record in that span of preseason It's like,

1308
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: we have to what I mean, it's also a way

1309
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: overly complex. Funny thing is they're putting stock into the

1310
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: most meaningless that ever and it happens right before they

1311
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 1: lose thirty one to three in the preseason opening. After

1312
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: the game, I guess, I guess you're not simple potential

1313
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: explanation that And hear me out on this that a

1314
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: lot of people are working the social media departments, both

1315
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: in this building and also throughout the league, maybe be young,

1316
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: social minded, you know, finger on the pulse of pop

1317
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: culture people more than hardcore football fans. So when they

1318
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: get the information packet on the latest from the Lions

1319
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: that comes in the house, they see twelve and four

1320
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: and the best in whatever. You know. The kids like, hey,

1321
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: and it checks out. But like their contract is like

1322
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: July through February, that's been there a week that checks out.

1323
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 1: But I would say it's even a softcore football fan

1324
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: would would understand that that's a bit nonsensical to be

1325
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: touting preseason records. But you know who, no, who knows,

1326
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying. What I'm saying is, let's say

1327
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: someone someone creates that content and what it just you

1328
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: just shirt out into the universe. There's no there'sn't someone

1329
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: that does know what what what should be? Tweeter or

1330
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: not saying excuse me, uh, son or daughter, go back

1331
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: and do that redo that little tweet gore, but it is,

1332
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: it is on al Gore. Let's let's close out the weekend.

1333
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: Anybody got big plants. Nick Westling's in town for one

1334
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: night only. That's great. I wish I could destroy him

1335
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: in cornhole again. That I won't be. I will be.

1336
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: My son is turning five, Jack and big party in

1337
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 1: the backyard. And my my beautiful wife, Emily, she is

1338
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: it's her birthday tomorrow, so it's it's a big one.

1339
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: It's a big one in the hands house. I'll be underground.

1340
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: In other words, if you can steal away for a

1341
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: little bit the same birthday, uh two days difference. I've

1342
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: made a homemade Cincinnati style chile, got some pulled pork.

1343
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna have all the fixings on. I'm gonna come

1344
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 1: see Nick Ricky come on over. Oh yeah, I'm in there.

1345
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Got me at pulled pork. You're gonna go Yeah, She's like,

1346
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: is that going to help my clout? I don't think so.

1347
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: I think there might be a Gonzo and Colleen. So

1348
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: just too many old these there. I love hanging out

1349
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:45,719
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, it seems grounded, you know. Before before

1350
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: we go, there is one little final bit of news.

1351
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: Robertin DJ, the former Cardinals first round pick, was of

1352
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: course released by the team that drafted him twenty ninth overall.

1353
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: A few years back. He has landed on his feet

1354
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: with the Miami Dolphins, who bring him in rehab him

1355
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: as he tries to get back from that torn a

1356
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: c l hopefully he'll get in better football shape. The

1357
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins are in the organic fish tank, so he kind

1358
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: of makes sense for them as an option. So with

1359
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 1: that mind, good way to go into the weekend, Greg

1360
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: is to be a little a time of hope around

1361
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Robert Kndica hit it. They try to crush your dreams.

1362
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 1: The cards dealt you out. But what they did and

1363
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: no was the fish tank was down. They say, when

1364
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: God closes a door, he oh binds up. Climb back

1365
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: in that window, Climb back in that window. In d

1366
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: E h climb back in that window, climb back in.

1367
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: It's not too high. You see the irony that we

1368
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:53,720
