1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast is only as old as

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: they feel. From the Chris Westling podcast studio, It's around

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: the NFL. I am Dan hansis Room Heroes Everywhere, Mark Sessler,

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, the Great Colleen Wolf. How is everybody? We're great,

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: really good. That's a great zummi drop because it is

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Graybeards day here on around the NFL, and we're gonna

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: get to it in a little bit breaking down the

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: best remaining free agents age thirty and over, and it's

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: pretty decent crop. I'm not gonna say it's as good

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: as the team last year, which I predicted would be

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: ten and seven, a pushback of all the Graybeards finish

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: in the end last season as usual, they ended up

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: at four and thirteen. But I had a lot of

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: optimism about the Graybeards last year. This team I'm not

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: as pumped about. I mean, they were better than the

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Bears in the Texans, so they definitely closed better than

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: the Bears. They were competitive throughout the season. Um And

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: we'll also go through some news. We had our big

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: atn dinner with a Grave Digger yesterday. Oh yeah, a

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: State of the Union. That was nice. Justin How was that.

21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: I know it was long waited and uh, we had

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: a couple of diabolos. Oh yeah, you know, it was

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: nice tequila drink there in Culver City. It was fun.

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I had a good time with you guys. Feel like

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: we bonded a little more, got close. Felt did you

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: feel like? I had a tremendous, tremendous time And it

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: was a pleasure to have justin there and to talk

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: to him um ever since. I mean, it sent me

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: into the night and I just feel that I'm on

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: sort of eternal autopilot. Graver and Cessler have complained about

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: lack of sleeping now Grave Diggers, partly because it's paramore.

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Jessica also was out drinking last night and he just

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: said they didn't get a lot of sleep. So get

34
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: into that now. Well, I did have her in the

35
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: middle of our dinner, had to pull out my phone

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: do a quick FaceTime. He's got bits he had. He

37
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: did this during the dinner. He had did get me.

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I bought it. I bought that you were truly gonna

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: face Well. Once we learned that Super Bowl week that

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: you had a five hour FaceTime uh and watched a

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: movie together, I was like, Okay, everything is believable at

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: this point. So but that means you guys are in love? Yes,

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: so good for you? Good for you has a little

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: anxious attachment. Do you guys? Go on? Do you guys

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: have UM like in your neighborhood or I live in

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: kind of like a small town like a community. Uh? People,

47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: do they know that you're like NFL network people like

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: the people into mind you. I've never even met my

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: current neighbors, so I would say no unless I'm being

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: heavily spot I mean twice in the ten year period

51
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: someone has either seen me running or walking UM and

52
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: said like NFL network. But that's that's the limit of it.

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Real They were strangers and the like that happens here

54
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: and there, but not not in this friendly what about you?

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: I tried to talk to my neighbors. They don't want

56
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: anything to do with me. Actually, yesterday I rolled down

57
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: my window to try and say hello to someone that

58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: lives on my street and she just kept walking and

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, fine, we won't be friends. I

60
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: won't have any friends in this neighborhood. Didn't you eat?

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: Because I think this happened to all of us. Story

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: in Corona when you're broadcasting out of like a room

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: in your house, and you realize it's coming right through

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: the window into the neighbors yard or territory. Weren't you

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: didn't you receive a complaint? Oh? I got a passive

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: aggressive written note left that please asking me to please

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: close the windows when I'm working and broadcasting because my

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: voice carries. And multiple times there would be neighbors that

69
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: yelled turned down the TV, and then John would yell back,

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: she is the TV. Yeah. So it's like a Bronx

71
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: high rise in nineteen sixty where in a tight lea

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I saw that apartment. It was tightly packed in there. Yeah,

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: and I was hosting Total Access day a weekroom. Why

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: did we just keep doing everything when coronavirus was raging?

75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I think ultimately changed anything. We just did everything from

76
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: our homes. Well, there was the need for paychecks to

77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: continue to floss their way into the budget. I bring

78
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: it up because, um, yeah, because I'm also like a

79
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: very active as you are. Greg. I know a little

80
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: league dad, so I know a lot of the people,

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: and I've gotten to know the people in the town

82
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: and they do know I work in NFL Network and

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: one are the lines that I get a lot, and

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: somebody did it, said it to me in my driveway

85
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: while I had the leaf blower out. The other day,

86
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: he goes on my yardwork getting my tan and he's

87
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: like hey, and it could tell he was thinking of

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: something to say. He's like, what am I gonna say?

89
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: What are we gonna say? He's like, recovered from the

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl yet? And that is like the mote. That's

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: the trope line that everyone says to me, Hey, recover

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: from the super Bowl? Yet, I'm like, well, I think

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the Statue of lim Aitations is up on that small talk.

94
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: It's almost April, sir, do you ever get that? You

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: ever get a hey, we're covering from that super Bowl yet?

96
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean that specifically, live in a community besides me,

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm close even with a number of my neighbors. But

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: the NFL network thing never come, never came up. Yeah,

99
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: they don't care about football, or it's never it's never

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: been brought up. Um, all right, that was good, All right,

101
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: let's uh get to the news. Had one funny experience.

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: I you know, one of the rappers is to Is

103
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: two Chains, and so I saw him on the sidelines.

104
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: But one of our games. We had invited him, I guess,

105
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: And I didn't know why. I didn't know why he

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: was called to change. I didn't know who he was.

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: And I said, hello, staff, make sure you point them

108
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: out to me. I want to be respectful. I mean,

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't probably listen to his stuff particularly, but I

110
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: do want to be respectful and I appreciate his support,

111
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: you know. So they did, and I said, you know,

112
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: and I said, I can see why. You know, your

113
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: nickname is two chains, these big chains around his neck

114
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and what have you. So he said to me, well,

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: do you want you know, I mean, we can get

116
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: some chains for you. I said, I don't. I don't

117
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: think about it. I'm not sure that's the right look

118
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: for me. But the two chains, Arthur Smith, excuse me,

119
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Arthur Blank, who is the owner of the Falcons, speaking

120
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: of two chains, And yeah, you definitely heard the queens

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: in Arthur Blank there when discussing two chains. I think so.

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: And that comes on the heels of Robert Kraft casually

123
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: name dropping Meek Mill making a push for Lamar Jackson

124
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: to England. I kind of can't believe that meek Mill

125
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: didn't get it over the goal line quite Frankly, I

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: would love to see their text conversations like they're just

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: they're back and forth. What's that rapport? Like? Yeah, I

128
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: wonder if Robert Kraft is like, do you feel like

129
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: like when way older people are texting, anything can happen.

130
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: Like I would even point to go look at Tom

131
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: Brokaw's tweets and things like that. It's like this was

132
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: no a newsman at one point, and I'm not. He

133
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: cannot put a sentence together on Twitter. So no, all right,

134
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: let's get into We were talking about some of the

135
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: rule changes and the proposed rules at the owners meetings

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: this week. There is a there is a push to

137
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: flex Thursday night football and make games flexible from Sunday

138
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: to Thursday night. There already is a new rule and

139
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: effect that now allows teams to play up to two

140
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Thursday night football games. But this is an idea of

141
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: taking the looking of the schedule and then based on

142
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: what you know, Let's be honest. Helps Amazon, They're a

143
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: major corporate partner, and gives Al and Kirk a better

144
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: game in the booth, especially late in the season. The

145
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: idea of flexing games to Thursday night and that was

146
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: tabled by the owners, which means it wasn't shot down,

147
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: it was just pushed to the side for now, which

148
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: means there's a chance that this is going to happen

149
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: on the Giants co owner John mara is one of

150
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: the more influential figures in the NFL, and he spoke

151
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: out adamantly against the idea. I am adam alive posed

152
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to that. Flexible scheduling as it is is really inconsiderate

153
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: to our season ticket holders and to people who will

154
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: fill our stadiums every week. People have gotten used to

155
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: going from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night. That doesn't mean

156
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: that they like it. This year we could be flexed

157
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: to Monday night, which I think is really inconsiderate to

158
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: our ticket holders. But to flex a game back to

159
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: Thursday night, to me is just abusive, abusive Greggy right there.

160
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: I thought about like the history of the NFL and

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: listening to this, because the two most vocal opponents of

162
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: this rule are John Mary heard there and then the

163
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Rooney family with the Steelers, and so many of the

164
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: NFL's best decisions that they've made over time have been

165
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: from ownership like that original owners really pushing back what's

166
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: good in the interest of the league versus owners just

167
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: wanting to make money in the short term. I mean,

168
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: that's why the league is essentially socialist, that they share

169
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: all the money that the cap it's better for all.

170
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: That would never happen now. Can you imagine owners sharing

171
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: all their money with other teams that are making way

172
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: less money. It would never happen like that now, And

173
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the reasons the NFL is

174
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: so great and they try to keep the long term

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: interests in the fan in front of mine. And I

176
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: loved that Maura is standing up and doing this because

177
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: it is absolutely insane. To imagine a scenario where you're

178
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: going to New York for a game and you find

179
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: out fifteen days before it's not that far before, fifteen

180
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: days before that, actually it's canceled. It's on Thursday night.

181
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: Figure it out, and I think, excuse me, absurd, Mara,

182
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: I think is speaking out of frustration because they only

183
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: missed this as show, Absolutely do they only miss I

184
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: knew that was going to happen too, I feel it

185
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: coming from me. Until now I knew it was gonna happen.

186
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: It only fell to votes shy and so I think

187
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Mara knows that, you know, behind the scenes, they're gonna

188
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: find a way to get two people to say yes,

189
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: because it's it's just inevitable, and it just it made

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: me think randomly of that Corona era Raven Steelers game

191
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: that happened at three forty Eastern on a Wednesday, and

192
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: the quality of that game. For multiple reasons, you know

193
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: that would be different, but t enough games to me

194
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: always feel a little tilted, a little strange, a little

195
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: bit of a lower quality product um And I just

196
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: think we're moving closer and closer to games happening all

197
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: week long, all the time, which I know, Greg, you

198
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: sort of said that was a you were witch casting

199
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: that at one point I felt years ago, I was

200
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: at a different point in my life. I feel differently

201
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: when I when we started to experience elements of that

202
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, was like, we don't need that, right,

203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: so you don't and the players don't. I know, that

204
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: was just funny, how seriously you said that it was

205
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: a different man. Then It just was like it was

206
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: back when I was working at Rhoda World. I started

207
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: at the two games a day for the whole season.

208
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Theory yeah, but now I need more time. You're in

209
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we did I think I hosted Thursday Night

210
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: Football on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And

211
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm so intimately familiar with the games that we've had

212
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: on Thursdays throughout the years. And the Broncos Colts game

213
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: from last year still haunts me. That went into overtime,

214
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: that was so incredibly terrible, and that when they wouldn't

215
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: avoid it. That was Week three and like everyone thought

216
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: that'd be a good game with Russell Wilson and that

217
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: one you still get stuck with. It was actually so

218
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: bad that it ended up becoming entertaining. It came back around.

219
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: It went so far off. But you can't put people

220
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: out like that. It's so expensive, first of all to

221
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,359
Speaker 1: attend a game as a fan, and then it's extravagant

222
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: to travel if you go on the road, you're paying

223
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: for hotels, you're paying for flights, you're doing all of

224
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: this ahead of time. That's so much money that you're

225
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: putting people out there. People are taking off from work.

226
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it is it just I feel like that

227
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: has to be a non starter. But obviously if there's

228
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: it's close, and Roger Goodell was really upset. You can

229
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: tell he really wants that he didn't. He was upset

230
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: with the way that Mara talked about it because the

231
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: light that it painted the NFL. And and to be clear,

232
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: I just I do want to explain what the rule

233
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: would be. It's weeks fourteen through seventeen, okay, um, and

234
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football is starting that too next year, by

235
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the way, which is a huge change and is, as

236
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Mara mentioned, is similarly h abuse to fans. Not it's

237
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: not as dramatic, but that's still a pretty big difference.

238
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: Like if again, if you're flying into a city and

239
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: you can play more tnfs, by the way, they don't

240
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: count if it's back to back t NF like so

241
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: if they if you already had a TNF in week

242
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: ten and they want to put you on week nine,

243
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: then you could get up to like three And they

244
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: absolutely do that with the Cowboys, by the way, who

245
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: essentially play that TNF after Thanksgiving every year, and that

246
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: kind of of of course, we want the best games

247
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: possible in prime time. I don't I don't want to

248
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: be doing a two and a half hour pregame show

249
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: for two terrible teams. But it's just like there's got

250
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: to be some type of middle ground here, as always

251
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL and life follow the money. I'm sure

252
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: we'll find that middle ground. I get it, but like,

253
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: but that's why this is happening, right, absolutely huge deals

254
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: with ESPN with Amazon might might take his Amazon must

255
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: not have been happy with what was going on, and

256
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: of course not they paid so much money. I mean

257
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: before when it was on NFL network, the network could

258
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: eat it, like put their foot down, you know, and

259
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: they they're just being these games get plucked away, right,

260
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Are they second class citizens in this because they're they're

261
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: paying a pretty penny as we'll still have their protected games,

262
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and so I don't know how that rule changes exactly,

263
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: but it won't be like the top. I guess what

264
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: I would say is like, yes, these games aren't great,

265
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: we still have three sometimes four days of games at

266
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: that time of year. It's still an NFL game between

267
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: two NFL teams, and more people will still watch that

268
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: on a streaming platform than literally any other show that

269
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: is on television that week. So, like, I get it,

270
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: it is about the money, But it's like in the

271
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: answer to when is it enough? I guess is never.

272
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: But it's like, but that's not a reason people still

273
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: watching that Texans Broncos, like they're still watching it. Like

274
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: just just eat it a little, just like when Mara's

275
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: talking about and I like seeing an owner talk like

276
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: this on behalf of the fans, Like the fans that

277
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: are affected by this season take holders are the diehards

278
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: or the diehards, and they're just gonna do it. They're

279
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna swallow it because they care that much. But it

280
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you should do it because you can. I don't.

281
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of John Mara, he man, he's a quote machine.

282
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: This week at the owner's meetings, he was on the

283
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: NFL radio on Sirius XM talking about Brian Dable and

284
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: his big year and his rock star image he has

285
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: now in New York after leading the Giants to the

286
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs, and he had this a

287
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: little quotable, Jim, I knew when you were hiring Brian

288
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: Dable that you knew all you needed to know to

289
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: hire him. But he's so built for New York. He's

290
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: so built for the personality of those fans. Like that guy.

291
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: If you Carcel's had it, but this guy has it

292
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: and it's they love his animated routine. Really, Oh, we

293
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: kid him. I mean right now he's Bono walking around

294
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: New York City. But I've told him, I said, in

295
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: this business, it doesn't take long ago from Bono to Bozo. Um, Wow,

296
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: that was workshop to sink on these podcast. Bosos. Yes,

297
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: as Bozos ourselves, we can relate to that. Wow, Bozos

298
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: to Bano. Though for you guys, m depending on your part, yeah,

299
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: thank you. We we did some research and that clip

300
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: where Yes, if you're new to the show, I think

301
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: it was a sound engineer who wanted to called us

302
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: bozos and we overheard it. Well. Now, now that was

303
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: six years ago, in two thousand and seven. You see

304
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: him frequently. You'll see him floating through the hall, and

305
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Greg claims to have had multiple conversation with him. I

306
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: just had sort of a cheapish interaction. Bozo's line. He

307
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: likes you know, he likes it's a good running. He

308
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: likes Greg. I definitely trust you to have the temperature

309
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: of what what will make someone uncomfortable or not? For sure,

310
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: you said you bring up every time you talk to

311
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: him now, but it's like he I think he worked

312
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: on gave debut, so I was like, yeah, you did

313
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: see him, and you know, and yeah, a little bozo

314
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: talk way. By the way, there were on on the

315
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: day Ball front. There were reports that, um, you know,

316
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: the owners meetings is partially a vacation for these guys

317
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: and a drinking event and a day drinking event, and

318
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: that day Ball was the first NFL head coach reportedly

319
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: to crack a beer at about ten thirty in the morning.

320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: Respect Phoenix time. Respect, he's working off East Coast time,

321
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: walking down, He's walking down the street with shades on.

322
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: He's feeling himself. The athletics Jeff Howard reports that the

323
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Patriots will not trade Oh Greggy, let's give Greggy some

324
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: sad violin here. Will not trade for Lamar Jackson this offseason.

325
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: How said that the Patriots could test Jackson's too desire

326
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: to link up with an affordable deal because the way

327
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: he put it, Uh, but it is unlikely that that

328
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: will be the case, and it will be mc lamore

329
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Jones rolling forward. McCord. Look, I'm riding with McCorkle. I've

330
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: been higher on him. I think his census. He's just

331
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: not Lamar Jackson. So that's my whole you know, I

332
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: think you've wavered on mccorkyll a little bit last. No,

333
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm seven months. I think I think he can be

334
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: a plus starter, but he's not Lamar. The only way

335
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: they would ever get Lamar Jackson is if a report

336
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: like this came out like four weeks before they actually

337
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: got him. That's my So you're not giving up, hope,

338
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm not giving I can't imagine a world where the

339
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Patriots are agreeing on something too just

340
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: in terms of their history together. But I don't know.

341
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: Maybe mac Jones turns things around this year with Bill O'Brien,

342
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: like they do have that former relationship from the couple

343
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: weeks at Alabama where mac Jones was teaching Bill O'Brien

344
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: the whole system where he was gone. I think he'll

345
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: be good. I think he'll be better. But you wanted

346
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: to get me excited about life in the NFL as

347
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan in twenty twenty three, gave me Lamar Jackson. Yeah.

348
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you if you're in the AFC,

349
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: it's so top heavy with quarterbacks and mac Jones probably

350
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: is a bounce back candidate but the idea that like

351
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: they've gone and got anything other than a middle tier

352
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: tier signal caller at this point, what is the ceiling

353
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: for New England? I just I find it to be

354
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: an uninspiring era. I like, I like this feisty. You've

355
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: been absolutely well. That was a low point rampage start

356
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: with its night what. I don't know if we ever

357
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: even should talk about it. I don't know if it's

358
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: a personal thing. Yeah, who didn't see it last night?

359
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: Well it was. It's not personal, it's not personal. That

360
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: was something on the books with Justin for a long time.

361
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: Uh huh, but I don't Can we speak on it

362
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 1: the dinner? I don't know what you're discussing, but your um,

363
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: your meal, your food. Oh sure, Mark Cessler, drumroll please,

364
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about what you're going to say. I

365
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Maybe even a breaking news,

366
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah this is It could go either way. He had

367
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: dinner Mark Edward Cessler for dinner last night at our

368
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: atn Summit. Had a towering double cheeseburger. What, yeah, let's

369
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: play some celebration. Let's do something even none of us

370
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: even noticed when he ordered it. It wasn't until the

371
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: burger arrived and we're like, well, I didn't do it

372
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: for effects. Um. I mean, I you know, I hadn't

373
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: eating around you guys in a while, but I just

374
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: was trying to change up my diet a little bit

375
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: and try some new things. So I will say it

376
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: might be the reason I was Music is the Night Court, Duane.

377
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: I think it's appropriate. I like it, so it's in

378
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: our library and I labeled it as a funky romantic jazz. Yeah,

379
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: as you said, the mistake maybe some decisions that you

380
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: made in nineteen ninety seven and haven't really rethought since

381
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: you're willing to rethink. Yeah, it's not a day by

382
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: day thing. I'm just I'm trying it out and it

383
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: was remarkable and you didn't wake up at midnight wide

384
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: awake and never went back to sleep. Correct. I do

385
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: think there is um a link there. I would suggest

386
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: there's somebody I would imagine because that wasn't just any cheeseburger. No,

387
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: that had some real girth to it. Yes, it was

388
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: a double. I mean I think we sort of all

389
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: got the same, but it was it wasn't really a double.

390
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a lot of it was like

391
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: it was a big patty. But it was like they

392
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: call it double because they like have two different types

393
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: that they smashed. As as a journalist, I must get

394
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: I must ask how how'd you like it? I liked

395
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: it a lot? And I think the thing the thing

396
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: about food that is weird is like I haven't I

397
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: haven't had that particular dish in a quarter of a century.

398
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: So wait, that burger with us was the first burger

399
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: no I've had. I haven't eaten hamburgers. I've had like

400
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: other meat, bacon, and I've tried little things that are

401
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: like I don't some things just do not appeal to me.

402
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: That at the moment it did, But it was like

403
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: I had just had one yesterday. It felt that familiar.

404
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't like you forget your taste. Buds seem to

405
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: never look at you, lose their memory. Who says a

406
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: man nearing the half century mark can't reinvent himself? That's

407
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: what I think. Yeah, I don't say that. I don't

408
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: none of us should. I guess now I want a burger? Um? Wow, Yeah,

409
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was. It was such a big thing,

410
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: a huge thing. I didn't even know whether we should

411
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: bring it up. It felt intensely first, I think it's

412
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: a I'm fine with that you did. It's not a

413
00:21:53,359 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: huge deal to me. Huge announcement. Mark A Meady a carnivore.

414
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: All right, wow, that was That was such a revelation

415
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: and conversation. Just now we got to take a break, regroup,

416
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: and we'll be back with more news. All right, here

417
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: we go and other news. I know it's hard to

418
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: recover from that. The Falcons. The Falcons signed Class Campbell,

419
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: formerly of the Ravens, to a one year deal. Atlanta

420
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: has been beefing up the defensive side of the ball.

421
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: He uh, and this a team that cannot get to

422
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback and wasn't very good against the run either.

423
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Campbell's thirty seven years old. Connie, everybody loves Class Campbell.

424
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean there was a time where he was one

425
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: of the best defensive players in the league. That's not

426
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: quite the case anymore, but still obviously capable how to market.

427
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Multiple teams were interested. He chooses the Falcons a team

428
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: and this surprised me because does Class Campbell have a ring? No, no, nope,

429
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Falcons probably not winning a ring this year. But ultimately

430
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to a place that I guess

431
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: that he liked. He just went to Lena. Why, I

432
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: have an answer for you. He has ninety nine career

433
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: sacks and just as his personal goal, he wanted to

434
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: have at least one hundred. Oh, I'm sure he's coming back.

435
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, But like he was a cap casualty

436
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: because of the Lamar Jackson situation in Baltimore, So I

437
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: think that they probably thought they would be able to

438
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: bring him back sign him for cheap. But I mean

439
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: now he gets to get paid probably a little bit

440
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: more with the Falcons, get that get to that mark

441
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: for himself. He's coming off a good season for himself

442
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: in his standards. And look, he had five and a

443
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 1: half sacks last season. That would have been second on

444
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons in twenty twenty two. That would have been

445
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: first in twenty twenty one. The pass rush is a

446
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: perennial problem for the Falcons, so they've done a lot

447
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: of additions to this defense already. They've bring in Jesse Bates,

448
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: they signed David an Yumata. But it's a nice signing

449
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: I think for them, and I just love Calais in general.

450
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl I had to check because I remembered I

451
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: thought I covered him on that Cardinals team that made

452
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: it. It It was his rookie season, so man, he has

453
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: been in the NFL a long time. I wanted to

454
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: take this moment to just take a quick look at

455
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: the Falcon's offseason just because here are the people they've

456
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: brought in that are probably starting for them. I don't

457
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: know if there's a team in the NFL who will

458
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: be starting as many people as they signed in free agency.

459
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: Klais Campbell, David an Yamada. You mentioned those, Kaden Ellis

460
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: the linebacker who had some nice times for the Saints

461
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: but wasn't really a starter there, Jesse Bates. That's four

462
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: starters on their defense, Mac Collins and or Scottie Miller.

463
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: Maybe one of those two guys is right now at

464
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: least starting at wide receiver. John who Smith is like

465
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: the backup tight end, but they might start two tight ends. Man,

466
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: that is a lot of That is a lot of

467
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: free agency, and I think that's Terry Fonteno and Arthur

468
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Smith knowing like maybe from the outside we're not thinking

469
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: this is a team that is going to win or

470
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: needs to win, but I think they know that they

471
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: need to maybe have a winning record. They have a

472
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator too. Dnp's out the door. Ryan Nielsen

473
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: takes over. So there's a lot of change. I mean

474
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: to me, of all the teams in free agency, they

475
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: went for it, but not enough because it's like there

476
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: they stand out. There is the quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson. I've

477
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: been saying this would have been like suddenly you think

478
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: completely different about the future of the Falcons and you're

479
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: trying to fit Desmond Ritter in there as your guy,

480
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: and it's a TBD. He came down. It came down

481
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: to the Jets and the Falcons. He said he thought

482
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: he would have a chance to have a bigger impact

483
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: on and off the field. He stressed, Austin, Now you

484
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: know he's as a Man of the Year. He is

485
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: for the in Atlanta, widely celebrated, is one of the

486
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: best dudes in the sport. And yeah he won Man

487
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: of the Year. He's basically every locker room he goes into,

488
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: he's the most respective guy. So good for him. I

489
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: was a little surprised. I was hoping he would land

490
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: with the Jets, but we'll see what he could do

491
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: with the Falcons. Uh In other South Division news. On

492
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: the other side, Titans general manager Ran Carthon rejects any

493
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: notion that Derek Henry is on the trade market. Here's

494
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: what Carthon had to say at the league meeting. There's

495
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: nothing new to report. Um, it was a nice report

496
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: that came out. I was moving to Todd you know,

497
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Darren trumpers and move and you know we're in a

498
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: good place. So it's not that new report from there.

499
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: I know Derek trains like crazy, um in the location

500
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: where he trains, I know the location. I don't want

501
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: to put it out here, you know, but Dar's going

502
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: to come back. You know, he's going to spend and

503
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: take his time away into what he has to new

504
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: to make sure that he's ready to go. So I

505
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: feel we're in a good place. It was this taken

506
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: from like the ballroom of a steamship or something. What

507
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: was where was he one of those one of those

508
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: little couches in that biltmore? Were there four years a right?

509
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: And thanks to Toron Davenport at T Davenport underscore NFL

510
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: for capturing that. Well done. They should trade Derrick Henry.

511
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: I think that's there's no way that's not still a

512
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: possibility if it's like right around the draft and the

513
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: team decides, like where we're sitting, there's a running back

514
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: that we want or we don't. I just love the

515
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: idea of him. I've said it all along to Buffalo.

516
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: But second note, Ran Carthon looks like a go He's

517
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: a well built individual, looks like something. I don't know

518
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: if I had really seen Ran, I think of his father, Maurice.

519
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: Was that his father? I don't know, remember him back

520
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: with the Giants. It's not a typical name, so I'm

521
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: gonna guess there is a connect, he said. I don't know.

522
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: That was pretty strong, saying it was an erroneous report.

523
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: I think maybe maybe there were some teams or there

524
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: was some talk and they realized that the value wasn't

525
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of come back and they decided now they they'll

526
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: probably keep him. And Mike Rabels said he expects Ryan

527
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: Tannehill to be the Titans QB. He said, of course,

528
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: I expect him to be the QB. But he also said,

529
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: I won't commit to anybody on the entire roster being

530
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: on the roster after what happened with A. J. Brown,

531
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: So I guess it's and listening to offers, even if

532
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: he's not actively calling off they like, so they they're

533
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: compounding their mistake. You shouldn't have traded AJ Brown, and

534
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: you did, and now you should trade Derek Henry and

535
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to well then your offense, so you're

536
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: just blowing up the whole thing. I think it's like,

537
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: and then him and running game. How can they have

538
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: no market though it's got to be a contender is

539
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: running back that season? Yeah, but you can make a

540
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: deal and get some draft capital back, but it's like

541
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: a one year rental. I think I think there maybe,

542
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe maybe there'd be a team that would actually pay

543
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: him that money. But they're just like, I'm not going

544
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: to give up anything, right, Hey, I would give up

545
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: a late round swap and ignore that Titans don't want

546
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: to bother ignore the chance to get Derek Henry with

547
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: something left in the tank and potentially a chip on

548
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: the shoulder at your own peril. Is kind of where

549
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: I come from, the same guy, but man last year

550
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: or so. But we need some trades. I was thinking

551
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: about that looking back at you know, we had those

552
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: all those wide receiver trades, we had the quarterback moves

553
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two off season better than twenty twenty three

554
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: off season. Step it up. Okay. Ran Carthon, by the way,

555
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: is indeed the son of Maurice Carthon, who won two

556
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowls with the Giants in the Yes, justin, is

557
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: there a GM head coach duo you would take in

558
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: a fight over Vrabel and Ran Carthon? Not not at all.

559
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: Maybe Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes. That's the only one

560
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: that I could think. What is what is Holmes looking

561
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: like these days? He's a big He's a big, bulky man.

562
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to know what Joe D could bench press.

563
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: You know, you can't tell. He's a big guy, solid, solid,

564
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: could handle himself. Yeah, Joe D's looking like he whipped

565
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: himself into shape too. Based on the footage from the

566
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Joe looks like the bouncer, like the double deuce type guy,

567
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: like he's you know, not gonna win any physique competitions,

568
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: but probably is stronger than a bowl. So I think

569
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: they would have a chance. The Gang Green contingent. But

570
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: that's a good that's a good conversation. Yeah. Send us

571
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter, people, send us other GM coach like brawl rankings.

572
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: What I like Mike McDaniel comes out with one of

573
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: those like member the guy with the green dust and

574
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: he just spray in someone's face. He was a different

575
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: way to Rick Model Martel or mister Fujie, mister Fie

576
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: assault in the eye. Well, some guy with green dust

577
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: and it was like the Martel had his own cologne

578
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: called Arrogance that he would spray into people's mind like

579
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: a smoke bomb. Would be perfect. How about Bill Belichick

580
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: it would just be himself since he only hires like

581
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: friends and family members. But maybe since they don't really

582
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: have a GM, it gets to be Bill and Steve.

583
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: I could see Steve with that mullet running into the

584
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and his brother Jason have a very popular podcast.

585
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: It is called The New Heights Podcast and a part

586
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: of the one of the traditions, and Kyle brand on

587
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football does a great job every year breaking

588
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: down the coach's photo that gets put out each and

589
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: every year. Check that out. UM, I have it on

590
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: my Twitter profile. That's one way to access it. Kyle's profile,

591
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure he is amplified it as well, but UM

592
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: amplified it anyway. The Kelsey brothers, Jason asked Travis to

593
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: name as many coaches as he could, and it was

594
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: a fun exercise. It's even better when you see the image.

595
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: But it's fun just listening along as well. Here we go,

596
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: let's give it. Let's give the Travis. Else's trying right now?

597
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: I can, I can. I'm the worst with names, but

598
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: I can tell you team. Okay, all right, starting on

599
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: the left, Chargers standing up, got it, sitting down, standing up,

600
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: standing up, Chargers, Giants, San Frank is that guy? Steelers?

601
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: Can you pause it there a second? McDaniels looks a

602
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: little different he did even a couple of years ago.

603
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: So that that there's a there's something there. Okay, keep going.

604
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: He did not know Arthur Smith's not a surprise. I

605
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: don't think Arthur Smith's wife might not know. Okay, go

606
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: on his head. Steelers, Tampa? Is that Tampa? Detroit? Campbell?

607
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: No chance you're getting this, one zero percent chance? Jet

608
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: after Jets, nothing. I don't even I've never seen that man. Yeah,

609
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: that's that's era I couldn't name. There's some tough shadows.

610
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: It's a weird photo. Yeah, it's a bad one, but yeah,

611
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: he had no chance at O'Connell which is funny to me,

612
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: but ebra Flus. I think if you ask the entire country,

613
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon might be in there too. It might come

614
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: in thirty two of guys who have done a year

615
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: and then the next guy concept And it's funny that

616
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: um Salah I was like, oh, I thought Salo was

617
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: taller than I realized. He's next to O'Connell who's eight

618
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: feet tall. Right, and Campbell all right ahead? Is so good?

619
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean three in a row. I have no idea.

620
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: Those dudes are every everybody between the Jets are off.

621
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: The coordinator Shane Stik for the Coals, Come on, Travis,

622
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: Jason's pretty good. Who's who's next to Doug pe Who

623
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: should know that one? You should definitely know that one. Demko,

624
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: who's the other one? You should know him because he's

625
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: arguably your biggest rival. Oh that is yeah, that's Sincy.

626
00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: That's not he's a dope. No one's ever said that

627
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: about Zach Taylor. That's that's coach sive or is that enough?

628
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: I think that's good. Yeah, that's good. He did drop

629
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: Stefanski was the guy as there's no uh, there's no

630
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: chance that guy's a coach in the NFL and he's

631
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: as Fansky, which why is the good one? Seems unfair

632
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: to Stefanski was out of place calling Mike McCarthy, uh, Dave,

633
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Matt Foley Chris Farley's character. I guess he was on

634
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: S and L recently, so he had it on his mind.

635
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: Don't do Zach. He called Sean Payton QB's quarterbacks. It

636
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: is a little next level And I love that because

637
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: then you realize not all NFL players are big NFL

638
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: fans like us. And if him not knowing Sean Payton's

639
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: name is a little next level quarterbacks quarterback, I would

640
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: I would love to do the column like Travis Kelsey

641
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: disrespects the game. Just slaughter him for two thousand words.

642
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: All right, Connie, ready for some odds and ends? Yo? Sure? Cool?

643
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, no pressure, all right, I

644
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: have to do it different too, right now, just you

645
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: know whatever feels it's it's a creative choice. Do it

646
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: your way, okay, ends it ends everybody. We have to

647
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: stop this. I think we need to go. The room

648
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: is haunted, the building is haunted. O my god, how

649
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: do you how do we recover and do a football podcast?

650
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: After knowing the world is ending. I just pull a

651
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: knife out of my pocket. That used to be such

652
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: an enduring delight. Right, something has changed, all right, here

653
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: we go eight o'clock delight. Marvin Jones. He's still at

654
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: it and he's back with the Detroit Lions. Good for him.

655
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor said, contract talks with Joe Burrow are underway.

656
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: That is huge. That's an interesting subplot considering all the

657
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: Lamar drama and blah blah blah. The Bengals. Anthony Richardson

658
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: meets with the Panthers. He's the number ten ranked prospect

659
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: by our friend who's on the podcast, though he is

660
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: not Raiders too, though Raiders would be an interest in

661
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: Raiders a little. What do they have? Seventh pick? Seventh pick? Uh, Connie.

662
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: The Kelly Green unis are back with the Eagle. It's

663
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: about time. So it's not like a color rush thing?

664
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: Is color rush still thing? Did they get colors? I

665
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: think that's been but it's an alternate uniform. Yeah, they're

666
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: not gonna wear take on that one. I don't have

667
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: a take. I just think that um. I always hear

668
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: like the best uniforms of all time are the Eagles

669
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: Kelly Green uniforms and it's like, yeah, that's correct. I

670
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: just simply totally disagree. I'm not saying that I think

671
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: they're still fine, but like that's an over celebration. In

672
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: my book of play cop, what's some of your top

673
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: what better? Tell me what's better? New York Giants? Everything?

674
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: It's better than the Eagles. Wow, that is the New

675
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: York Giants have ever done. I'm so offended by it.

676
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, not their team last year, the classic Cleveland

677
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: Browns better than anything that he's back to meet and

678
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: he's back to the brown No, I'm just I think

679
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: those are classic uniforms that have not the like Kelly

680
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: Green or Fine. It's just I think that we're acting

681
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: like now the world's problems have been solved because they're

682
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: going to showcase them for a game. We'll see and

683
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: maybe while we're here. The Eagles chan is a rip

684
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: off of the Jets chan. So that's cool too. I mean, what, what,

685
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: why is everyone coming for me today? What is this

686
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: speaking of the Jets, the Sacramento to the dinner like

687
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: we're hitting out ghost us. The Sacramento Kings clinched a

688
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: playoff spot, which means the New York Jets now have

689
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: the longest playoff drought of the four major US sports,

690
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: and that's compounded by the fact that they also haven't

691
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: been to a Super Bowl in fifty four. That is

692
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: all going to end this season, though, did your chant

693
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: in Part one? Shot up one of the reasons, one

694
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: of the reasons why Aaron Rodgers going to a team

695
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: with a very good defense is interesting in a big

696
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: subplot this year that is brutal. And the crazy thing

697
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: is the ten years before this twelve year drought, they

698
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: were kind of in the playoffs semi regularly, and they

699
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: made it to two title games, and then it got

700
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: very dark, very quick. It's a little more embarrassing for

701
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: an NBA team, like every NBA team and NHL team

702
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: makes the playoffs a little harder in the NFL. Who's

703
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: rights behind the Jets? Now for the end the NFL,

704
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: the Lions have to be well, they've been in the playoffs,

705
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: but like they're nine in a while, they might be

706
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: number two now, but they had even that thousand and

707
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: fourteen maybe well that was two thousand fIF when the

708
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: Dos caught against the Broncos since they were on the

709
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Really yeah, wow, And the lines are one

710
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: behind them. I mean it's not like hard to make

711
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the NFL either. Now you're right now

712
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: it's fourteen. So it's fourteen out of thirty two and

713
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: come out of sixteen thirty will say it's like it

714
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: was Cleveland in the Jets for a long time because

715
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: that Brown Steelers game altered the scenery. Yeah, Broncos posts

716
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: uper Bowl has been like a sneaky bottom five franchise's

717
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: been rock sitting and you look at everything that's happened

718
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: being rough. All right, let's take a break and then

719
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: get to the gray beards always like Seacrest out we

720
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: got m h. Great bits. We're gonna save the day.

721
00:38:47,200 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: Great bits, just give us one last say we're here today,

722
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: gone tomorrow. Will you watch your follow It don't mean

723
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: I cannot play. You will see me leave the way.

724
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: Gray bits never go away, Gray bits never fed away.

725
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: There goes my hero. What your mass? He goes, there

726
00:39:51,560 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: goes my hero. It's over, thirdday, Well done, well done,

727
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: goose bumps. Wow that was the range right there. We

728
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: now we have a full band. How you were unhappy

729
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: with the performance a year ago? Repair I was not here,

730
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: but like I messed up the role. Um, I was

731
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: not given clear instruction. I was a backup singer last year,

732
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: you were, you were assigned to some backing box. I

733
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: think we, even in real time, started over. We did,

734
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: and I was very nervous about the second time because

735
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: I still was unclear on the second go round right

736
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: and get it. I think this time what we did

737
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: was important. We did a run through before the show. Yeah,

738
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: I will say the run through was not duplicative of

739
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: what happened when we actually didn't run through a little

740
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: bit tighter I thought than the actual performance here. But

741
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: by no means was it a failure. It was good.

742
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: I think we all felt it in our souls. It's

743
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: not about you about like um, you know, hitting the

744
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: perfect feeling the music and Greg and I spoke privately

745
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: with Greg Bovis. I said, Greg, the final line is

746
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: the cathartic payoff of the whole song, and you creatively

747
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: take that, but it's got to come from your heart.

748
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: And justin point of ox, I asked it. I asked

749
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: for some lyrical help. I forgot what the lyrics were

750
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: and justin what did you point out to me earlier

751
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: this morning? Well, when you sent me the lyrics this morning,

752
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: you had all the gray beards. You were referring to

753
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: them in the third person, like they never go away,

754
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: they will the lyrics I had remembered that miss, but

755
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: the actual lyrics are more first person, as if from

756
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: the point of view of the gray beards, like give

757
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: us one right, which I think is really as we age, right,

758
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: there's a shift. Do you feel more connected to these players?

759
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: And I certainly do. I find some conflict with um

760
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: where you're going here? You said there is an early

761
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: line we're here today, gone tomorrow, which is you know,

762
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: that speaks to all of us and the human condition.

763
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: But then it flips around said, the gray beards never

764
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: go away. They never fade away. They're the return, they

765
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: don't go away. I think that's the duality of man there,

766
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, all right? And then you were aspirational. You

767
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: also capitalized him, right, which is essentially Jesus. All right.

768
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: That's just a religious component to this as well. The

769
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: original Graveyard Jesus was thirty three, so like he was

770
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: a roster by the end and probably unstoppable theology podcast

771
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: Tugbo Sorry God, all right, So what is what is

772
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: what is this? What is this what are the grave

773
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: It's really about that song. But then there's a segment

774
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: we have to do. So this is This is the

775
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: tenth year I've done this on NFL dot Com. I've

776
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: written the Graveyard's column, which is my You'll see it

777
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: everywhere and it comes out and on other lesser platforms

778
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: across the web. Um, oh, you're the best remaining free agents?

779
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: And all right, anybody could do that, but I I

780
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: like to kind of just dig a little deeper. Who

781
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: are the best remaining free agents who are age thirty

782
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: or over? And these are the players that the league

783
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: kind of forgets and are ready to phase out. Hence

784
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: the lyrical and feel of that song, like don't forget

785
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: about us, Like we are not fading away, give us

786
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: one more chance. So that's what this is about. And

787
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: there are every year, with the unstoppable march of time,

788
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: always new names to add. And I'll start with the

789
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: quarterback position because we have a couple of new names,

790
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: starting with none other than a man that has been

791
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: waiting to become a graybeard for a long time, really

792
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: feels like for about five years now, and now he

793
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: is Carson Wentz. Here's the quarterback room. Okay, and we

794
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: could talk about where these guys fit in the order

795
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: they should be in. But my three quarterbacks in this room,

796
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: he got three. Yeah, I'll probably have a cut I'll

797
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: probably have a cut down day in summer. But Teddy

798
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: Bridgewater from the Graybeards, that's when you know it's time

799
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: to hang up. I got a Teddy Bridgewater and Carson

800
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: Wentz in a open camp competition, both thirty years old,

801
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: both first year eligible to Graybeards. And then I got

802
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco in the room. Just got Joe in the

803
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: room because Joe doesn't want to stop playing and I

804
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: respect that, and he literally has a grizzled beard at

805
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: this point, so he's in there. But it's Wentz v. Bridgewater,

806
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: and I know where this room is going to come

807
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: down and say Teddy all the way, And I don't

808
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: necessarily disagree with that either, But Teddy, there's a reason

809
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: Teddy's still in the market right now. When he has

810
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: gotten opportunities in recent years, he hasn't been able to

811
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: stay on the field, and I wonder if he's just

812
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: breaking down. Wentz has just been mostly ineffective. I could

813
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: use both in this offense if you wanted to I

814
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: think you've got we're not going to do that plan?

815
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: All right? But then i'd go Teddy, But have you

816
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: did you give any consideration to Cam Newton? No? Oh,

817
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: not just flat out no. I think this is one

818
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: of the better quarterback rooms the gray Bards had. I mean,

819
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: you could argue this quarterback room is better than a

820
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: couple of NFL quarterback rooms. Wow, the Falcon I would

821
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: take him over. That's my favorite job. I mean, the

822
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: Texans they will add. Just just wait till Cam finds

823
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: out he's not on the gray Beard. It's not going

824
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: to be pleased with this. Teddy and Carson there. They

825
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: both have trouble staying healthy. So when one guy goes down,

826
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: you'll have another guy ready to go. Can I say

827
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I want to also say that

828
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Cam is Graybeards eligible. If you out

829
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: of the league for a full year, um, I don't

830
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: know if I could put you on. I think you're

831
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of out of the football until otherwise we're told

832
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: that you're I think Teddy. Teddy fits in whence I

833
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: think good question is like does he want to be

834
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: a backup? Does he want to be a backup on

835
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: the Gray Beards. I mean, who knows he's gonna get

836
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity though, doesn't this one? For some reason, these

837
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: two guys really hit me with the passage of time,

838
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: like that they are now eligible for the Gray Beards

839
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: because we were doing our show when Teddy Bridgewater suffered

840
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: that injury. That's a very memorable NFL moment. Were doing

841
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: our show during Carson Wentz's rise, of course, and like,

842
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: I remember what a huge Wentz guy West was during

843
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: that run and everything, and and now he's on the

844
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: grade season when he scrambled for that touchdown, even the

845
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: season before though, he was like I could still see

846
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: the replay of that. And then I remember even after

847
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: he came back and he was kind of with an

848
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: Eagles team that was very mediocre. I remember I liked

849
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: the way he played like he was kind of being

850
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: let down by those wide receivers all the time, and

851
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: he just put his body on the line. And then

852
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if a lot of that also took a

853
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: toll on him. But here he is, now thirty years old,

854
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: Nichole's winning the Super Bowl and then having like a

855
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: statue good room. There's there's another quarterback room for now,

856
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: they're better than the Colts. Guy would take them over

857
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: last year's. Last year's tandem, by the way, was Ryan

858
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and Gino Smith. Oh that room was better. Talk

859
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: about Gino going from graybeards back up to how much?

860
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: How many guaranteed dollars did he get? And Seahawks seed?

861
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, twenty five a year. Matt Ryan, by the way,

862
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: is available, and I don't know if he wants. We

863
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: considered Matt, but it's just that's not the direction. Yeah,

864
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: I feel like we watched fourteen too many Matt Ryan

865
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: games a year ago. Um, the running back room, it's tough. Um,

866
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: it's tough. So I like Jak McKinnon a lot. I mean,

867
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: the guy had ten touchdowns last year in Kansas City.

868
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a good guy to have. And he

869
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: was the lead back for most of their season, I mean,

870
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: or the season went along and then he kind of

871
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pachenko kind of rose up. And but McKinnon's a

872
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: nice guy in there. Um, your friend Mark mark Ingram Uh,

873
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: he's up there in age two. Um, so I have

874
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: him on the roster, but I'd like to upgrade if

875
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: I could. It's an excellent locker room guy. There's gonna

876
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: be a lot of malcontents on this roster, There's no

877
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: no way around it. Yes, Rex Burke had I put

878
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: on here. That was awesome for you. Mark. I know

879
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: you like your white running backs, not a guy. You're

880
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: a white running back guy though, according to you. Wow

881
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: the star of my high school football team, Rex Burkett.

882
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: There you go. And then, um, I actually have to

883
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: eliminate this guy because if I'm going to eliminate Cam

884
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: for the same reason I had David Johnson comeback season

885
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: with the Saints briefly, Okay, so David Johnson's comeback season

886
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: kind of I thought you might have Latavius Murray list.

887
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned it. Okay, so this isn't fit.

888
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: This is going up on NFL dot com next week,

889
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: so right now, so give me some tapping with your

890
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: your fingernails. Are we getting any bright? Because I want

891
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: to I want to be a pro personnel director at

892
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: some point for the Graybeards, maybe an intern. And I write,

893
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 1: you're a singer for the I was um dogging that tape,

894
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: raw dogging it and uh, we don't know. Nope, you

895
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: just look at the tape. So it was pretty good

896
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: in the National Football League last year at playing football

897
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: and running was all right. He looked pretty, he looked

898
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: almost Uh he was frisky last year. All right. I

899
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: met a Latavius McKinnon tandem there. I like that, all right,

900
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was sad as I led to look

901
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: up Zeke's age and he's like, he's not this okay,

902
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: and just um because this is always fun. Last year's

903
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: running back room Jerk McKinnon great signing. Yeah, had ten touchdowns.

904
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: So the Chiefs that won a Super Bowl. And uh

905
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: David Johnson, who I was thrilled when he was on

906
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: the graveyards because that was the first year eligible. And

907
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: then it just he just ran out of juice. I

908
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: guess another passage of time moment. What he at one

909
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: point in the NFL got a guaranteed contract, I believe

910
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: with like forty million dollars guaranteed or something insane that happened.

911
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: I remember the running backs coach on All or Nothing

912
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: pulling him into like a training room after his rookie

913
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: season and saying, like, you have the ability to be

914
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs that has ever played

915
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: in another West favorite I know he was banged up,

916
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: But did he ever suffer like any catastrophic injury or

917
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: was just like another example he was, Yes, he did,

918
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: he did. He never really was the same after it.

919
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: Well was it a Nate m I think summer tough position,

920
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: tough position, wide receiver? All right, for the second straight year,

921
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: we got O'Dell there. It's kind of where he's at

922
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. And by the way,

923
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: there are reports out there that multiple teams have offers

924
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: out to O'Dell though, and he's he was initially looking

925
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: for twenty million. Now the idea is that it might

926
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: be closer in the range to fifteen million, which is

927
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: still a lot. What what is going on with it?

928
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I mean, I believe it'll be

929
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: an up to but I believe it'll be significantly less

930
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: than fifteen with some incentive. I mean, he came out

931
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter and totally denied that, but behind the scenes

932
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,479
Speaker 1: it's probably maybe that was his start nine and six

933
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: million in incent of something like that. Does he count

934
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: if he wasn't in the league get all last year

935
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: technically with your rules out, well, he was injured, it's different.

936
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't out of football. It was injured, right, but good,

937
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: that's good. He actually did spend last year on the

938
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: great Beards, good dynamics. I like that. That's important. For

939
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: the second straight year. Oh, another first time entry age

940
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: thirty season, Jarvis Landry. So we can get O'Dell and

941
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: Jarvis season. Um, it's the beginning of the end of

942
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: this Browns are for the second straight year. We have

943
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: Julio Jones here, kind of a legacy pick. I don't

944
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: know how much juice he has. Can't stay healthy, but

945
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: he's a great beard, uh for me right now? Um?

946
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: And now we have some other options here. Um. Randall

947
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: Cobb is another option in the slot, but I think

948
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: he's duplicative with Jarvis. That your guy Aaron Rodgers, Right,

949
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: that's true. No more drama. T Y Hilton, Oh interesting

950
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: made a couple of plays when the couple of boys

951
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: signed it him. I mean, wasn't he was better than

952
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: some mother huge play like right after he had yeah, third,

953
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: fourth and thirty one was yeah, not a terrible wide

954
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: out election. How about Robbie chosen Anderson he changed his

955
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: name a locker room headcase. We're not gonna have rob

956
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: but he's at age thirty. He's the first year And

957
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: give me a little timpany drum here, because I've been

958
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: waiting for this. We've all been waiting for this for

959
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: what feels like fifteen years. For the first time age

960
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: thirty season. You're not gonna believe this. I think I

961
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: know it is. Go ahead, Sammy Watkins. Sammy Watkins is

962
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: finally thirty. What Sammy Watkins who was twenty seven for

963
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: eight straight years is now thirty three? Time making to

964
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: leave candidate. That's shocking. Like a playoff legend that is

965
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: actually literally a clutch player. Usually people get more respect

966
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: when you have the kind of clutch moments he had

967
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. A lot of big munch Juju Smith

968
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: Schuster is now brown. Is the guy wide receiver that

969
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: is twenty seven forever or twenty five forever. Sammy Watkins

970
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: came into the league at nine years old. I like

971
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: that group. I'm gonna say it, like, if everyone stays healthy,

972
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: that's better than a few rooms in the NFL. I mean,

973
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 1: that's that's better than the Titans receiver in group right now. Well,

974
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: these guys are literally all avail. Yeah, well, you're gonna

975
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 1: get every single one. I mean Julio Julio, it feels

976
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: like he might be at the end of the line here.

977
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay is available, by the way, I don't think

978
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: you want him, but just wanted them. You're gonna get

979
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: four or five primetime games with Odell and this crowd. Actually,

980
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: now I'm looking at last year because Jarvis turned thirty

981
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: last November, so he was eligible. So last year we

982
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: had Odell, Antonio Brown, Jarvis Landry, and Julio Jones Brown

983
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: sod over very similar positional group Antonio Brown that year.

984
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, at that point it was like, is he

985
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: still on the picture? And then I think he like

986
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: stripped nude in a swimming pool around families, and then

987
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, okay, against the code of

988
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: policy for Graybeard. He's kind of at a level that

989
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: there's no coming back nude in the public swimming pool.

990
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: You know what, I think you owe me a sandwich

991
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: that talked about that he would not be back in

992
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: We'll have to check out, Go get my lunch dot org.

993
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: All right, moving on tight end, this is a tough

994
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: room to room. I got Cameron Brait, who I believe

995
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: is looking to retire. Okay, okay, it seems like a liability. Okay,

996
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: I have Eric Tomlinson in his age thirty campaign. Okay,

997
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: and pinch yourself. I have um forty year old Marcedes Lewis.

998
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: This is to me, he's a graybeard. He is height.

999
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: The Jets are putting the final touches on a one

1000
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars deal for him, but if that falls through,

1001
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: I think you're struggling in here to find any playmakers.

1002
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: So why not have a guy who's the sixth tight end.

1003
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're putting him on the front of

1004
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: the the pamphlet or whatever. It's the press guy. It's

1005
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: like it would like it's now the team pamphleteer would

1006
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: like like this, we have this pamphlet of Jewish sports heroes.

1007
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: But I feel like he embodies what you want. He's

1008
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: like the Calais Campbell signer for the Falcon. It's kind

1009
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: of amazing that he was drafted at the same time

1010
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: as MJD. And we've been working with MJD. I don't know,

1011
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: and the MGD was a better draft pick. That was

1012
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: the the sneaky part. He was a much better player

1013
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: than Marcedes Lewis. During their bag Wars I feel like

1014
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: if you watch Sunday Night Football with MJD as we

1015
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: did this best season. Marcedes Lewis comes up every night

1016
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: capacity as one of the great players of azra H.

1017
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: Mikole Pruitt also in the mix there. That's that's a

1018
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: tough room. It's a tough room. Kyle Rudolph was Tyler Crawford.

1019
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: I like, last time Kyle Rudolph made a play, were

1020
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,479
Speaker 1: you in a while Brady did not get him going.

1021
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: I would maybe go Lewis and Croft, but yeah, it's

1022
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: I like the offensive line. And by the way, some

1023
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: of this research was done last night after two tequila's um,

1024
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: so there could be some guys that are going to

1025
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: con claim now it's got a coffee that because you

1026
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: were going to work. Well, it's not too for a week. Also,

1027
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: the Organs continue to work shop it and put Daddy's

1028
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: going away next week, so Daddy's gotta write tomorrow, jog

1029
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: through it. This is the best offensive line. I think

1030
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: the great Beards have everything. It's very good. So I

1031
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: have Donovan Smith on the left side, I got Roger

1032
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: Saffold at left guard. I got Ben Jones at center.

1033
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: I got Greg Van routing a routing at right guard.

1034
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: I got Taylor Luan. I'm kicking him to write tackle

1035
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: and then it's swing tackle to give me some coverage

1036
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: because we got some injury concerns. Got Cam Fleming. Hum,

1037
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: there's Eric Fisher out there. Last year he was on

1038
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: the team. It didn't work out. So Isaiah Wynn, former

1039
00:56:54,440 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: first round pick of the Fan, was a consideration as well.

1040
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: About Jason Peters has the veteran in a many years,

1041
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: he was a gray beard, but we've moved forward to

1042
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: Jason Wow. Although he's like he is a great gray

1043
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: beard because they keep rolling him out there like halfway

1044
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: through the season. It's just like, oh, yeah, he's fine.

1045
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: I just got bored of putting Jason Peters on this list,

1046
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: so I get it. We're just moving. I take it

1047
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: back now that I realized I had three players that

1048
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: were like twenty seven on my original list. There's a

1049
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: lot of Titans on this line. Right. Three is that?

1050
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: By my count? Gabe Jackson I believe is thirty. Um,

1051
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: he's played a lot of football, was making a lot

1052
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: of money for the Seahawks. I think I think he

1053
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: could put him in there over Van Roten. All right,

1054
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: let's do that strong about him. Dennis Kelly is a

1055
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: solid swing tackle guy who was also a former Titan.

1056
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: He's out there just use last year's Titans line. Yeah yeah,

1057
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: trying to please resigned the worst offensive line in the league.

1058
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: Luano gives you like the podcast pop and yeah, but no,

1059
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. And he hasn't retired

1060
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: or anything. So he's up in the air. He's with us.

1061
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: He's feeling good. He's feeling good. He's got some juice

1062
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: back in that knee, as he said, a wall kind

1063
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: of juice, but it's in the knee defense edge rusher.

1064
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: Welcome Jadeveon Clowney. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy having

1065
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: you around. H We also have Leonard Floyd. We got

1066
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: some good this is we. We've had Evan Silvall in

1067
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: the past. I gave Evan a blow this year because sorry,

1068
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: I feel like, go ahead hit it again. That sounds

1069
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: kind of like a porn because you know, Evan I

1070
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: is this very serious football man and I just was

1071
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: giving him. It's given him a break in twenty three,

1072
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: and we're gonna bring him back in twenty four if

1073
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: he wants to join us. Um but I he has

1074
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: pointed out last year. He's like, oh yeah, you just

1075
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: get these like rotational veteran pass rushes and you could

1076
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: do make some damage here. So I got Clowney, Leonard Floyd,

1077
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram, the third, Frank Clark, Bud Dupree. That's a

1078
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: that's a solid group. Group great might be overstated. Did

1079
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: you mention mel Ingram? Yep, justin Houston. Yeah, he was cut.

1080
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: He didn't make it. Wow, Marcus Golden, unless you think

1081
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: he should be ahead of dun had some moments, least

1082
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: I would. He he has been excellent for the Ravens

1083
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: and then no one signs him until about August. He's

1084
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: not gonna make the Hall of Fame, but he's like

1085
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: the Hall of very Good and yet no, he just

1086
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: he's like the new and Dominican Sue. He signs for

1087
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: like four million dollars every August and ends up playing. Really,

1088
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: if you added Carlos Dunlop, you could have literally every

1089
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: player that I went to Italy and Germany went with

1090
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: on this roster. Let me make that adjustment right now.

1091
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: But Dunlop actually continues to be a good player. No,

1092
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't make it, but that's cool um interior line.

1093
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: Here we go matt Ionidas Shelby, Harris Mark wood A

1094
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: se A, Keem Hicks and yes and Dominican Sue always

1095
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: available this time of year for the Graybeards. I felt

1096
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: like maybe that was Sue's last time around last year.

1097
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: Just felt like it was demisioned gen Richards. How old

1098
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: is Ashan Robinson? I think he may quality? Oh he

1099
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: does not. He was a guy that I know, our

1100
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: friend Jordan Rique thought he was going to get eight

1101
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: to ten million dollars and clearly didn't. It is still

1102
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: a free agent, but it's a good ball player. But

1103
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: he's not old enough. In my bad linebacker is a

1104
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: little bit tricky. Um got Denzel Perryman, Marcus he's now signed.

1105
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Oh he's out? Okay, thank you checks and balances, Marcus Golden,

1106
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr, Kyle van Noy, John Bostick. You're this is

1107
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: where the team weirdly starts to fall apart. Good line play,

1108
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: but bad uh linebackers. Anthony Anthony Barr feels like a

1109
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: like a great beard. All right after that? I have

1110
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: a good secondary? Is there another inside linebacker to add

1111
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: to this? I couldn't believe that Kwon Alexander is a

1112
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: sneaky Sammy Watkins All Star. He's twenty nine years old.

1113
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: If it's before February thirteenth or so, we're desperation. In

1114
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: your voice, we need a little inside help here. When

1115
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: when he said that, um, I was telling a J.

1116
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Klein is a guy who's played football. He will be

1117
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: twenty nine at the end of the season. Quan ar trouble. Okay, cornerback.

1118
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: We always have trouble at cornerback. Obviously, speed is an

1119
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: issue against faster teams. Uh, Marcus Peters, Marcus Peters. Uh,

1120
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: let me just check the twenty twenty two team, by

1121
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: the way, tight end. Last year, I had Gronk who

1122
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: never actually signed with the team, and Jared Cook. M

1123
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: that's a good that's a good room. Where Jared Cook

1124
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: now was he he's a free agent again in my

1125
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: mind for some reason, he's just always a saint forever.

1126
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: And so wait, you had the services of Gronk in

1127
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: this theoretical Yeah, he plays beards. You don't want him

1128
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: to sign this year. He's not in the mix. He's

1129
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: been out of the league for a year now. You

1130
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: put Gronk's a good guy to put on the cover.

1131
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: I guess you're putting O, b J and uh and

1132
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: on the cover of the of the Pain. It's just

1133
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: a giant face shot of Carson Wentz like they do

1134
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: the Love where he looks sweaty with the eyeball back on.

1135
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: We all know, yeah, something really go ahead and start

1136
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to take command. We want to recreate that energy that

1137
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: the commanders you have to do. I feel like you

1138
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: should do more of like uh, I know they traditionally

1139
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: play in San Diego, but maybe they could do a

1140
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: year in Baton Rouge and you just do like a

1141
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: fourth sort of LSU theme with ob J and Jarvis

1142
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Landry and just get the locals to come out. I mean,

1143
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: I feel like we just did that high school. I'm

1144
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: just saying. It's kind of like the USFL. It's like

1145
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: they just pick a different place, it seems like, and

1146
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: they just stay there. All right. Just Brandon, you're a singer, Okay,

1147
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: let's just stay in earline singer. All right. My tackles

1148
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: last year, by the way, I Dwayne Brown on the

1149
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: left side, um, and then Quentin Spahn Spain yea Spain. Uh,

1150
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: Matt Paradise, where's not playing for Daryl Williams and Eric Fisher.

1151
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: That was last year. UM. Last year on the edge,

1152
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: I had Melvin Ingram, Justin Houston, Jerry Hughes and Jpp.

1153
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: That group was better than some groups in the NFL.

1154
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: That was a good group. UM last year I had

1155
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: on the interior a Chem Hicks, Claias Campbell, Lynvaal, Joseph

1156
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and Sue She's always there. The Eagles were like looking

1157
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: for help in the middle of the season. In the

1158
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: front office was like, forget the analytics, let's look at

1159
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: the great exactly signed two of these guys. Linebacker, I

1160
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: had A j Johnson, Danta Higtower who recently retired, and

1161
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr. And now we'll move to this year's cornerback group.

1162
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, Bryce Callahan. Where's Logan Ryan Att He's a safety,

1163
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: but I think he could definitely be in that groups.

1164
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Kick him out of there. Byron Jones, William Jackson. I

1165
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: think Byron Jones like said he can barely yeah, walk,

1166
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Hill. I mean he I was hoping.

1167
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't. Don't say walk yeah, I'm not trying to

1168
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: make light, but it seemed like banging his career might

1169
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: be over unfortunate. I'm gonna put it in a nice

1170
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: gonna put three question marks next to Byron Jones. Maybe

1171
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: can't walk, okay, Um, we might have to replace him.

1172
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: Safety Adrian Amos, Oh yeah, Rodney McLoyd, Cloud Cloud, Dron

1173
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Harmon and Logan Ryan. That's a good group. And Logan Ryan. Um,

1174
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: you know family famously was going to that dog shelter

1175
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady everywhere. That could be a little bit

1176
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: of Instagram pop for you guys. Good for the community outreach.

1177
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: I like the cornerback group. Actually, I'm gonna propose Peters,

1178
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: William Jackson and Anthony Brown and Callahan. That's a four

1179
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: pack right there, if you need four. That's not bad

1180
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: coming off an injury Anthony Brown, but it was a

1181
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: good player. I'm trying to see if Jamal Adams will

1182
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: be safety eligible for me next year. No, but he's

1183
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: turning twenty eight. Got some time, all right? Hey, kickers,

1184
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: kicker and punter. I got two forty year olds. You

1185
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: have a great kicker Robbie gould Boom and punter Andy

1186
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Lee two forty year olds, will you? I mean, so,

1187
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: how does that work with the Kickers club? Is there

1188
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: like a Legacy wing. Yeah, I mean it's yeah, there's

1189
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: tapioca served and you know, the bedtimes very early. It

1190
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't get like, uh in the Graybeard's wing of

1191
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: the club. It's it's what Mark hates most in the

1192
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: world world grown men drinking milk as opposed to you

1193
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: enjoy that, No, but for seven who knows anymore? I

1194
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: was having expecting Mark to order a big pint of milk.

1195
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: The milk yesterday at dinner with the burger that does

1196
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: not appeal for some reason. We spend five minutes last

1197
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: night and Mark's hate of a grown adults that drink milk. No,

1198
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: just grown men for women. Yeah, I'm not really, It's

1199
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: not something I think about a lot. But like the

1200
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 1: idea of like dad's drinking full glasses of milk is

1201
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: weird to me. Was like just a large segment of

1202
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: the population. I feel like he's he's hitting out at

1203
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: a very I mean, I have witnessed examples and it

1204
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: just through me in the wrong direction. Um, head coach,

1205
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: al right, head coaches and staff have to be fifty

1206
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: and over for the second straight year. Mike Zimmer is

1207
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: my head coach. Oh okay, why who do you guys

1208
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: want I'm open to suggestion. I want of a son

1209
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: of a bum. I want Wade Phillips, who's killing coach.

1210
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,439
Speaker 1: He's killing it in the XFL. He puts the gray

1211
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: in Graybeard. I don't know if his hair is actually gray.

1212
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: But how old is Wade Phillips right now? And at

1213
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: no point has he ever not coached well? The last

1214
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: time he was in the NFL he was doing well.

1215
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Seventy five. He's seventy five. I think this is a

1216
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: good team to bring, like Jerry Glanville back into with

1217
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 1: the public amerry yet with us. Spoke to him a

1218
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago and him could not have been

1219
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: more of a live wire. So I just think, like

1220
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: this team, you wanted to spice him up a little bit.

1221
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if Mike Zimmer's that guy. Zimmer is

1222
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: a little bit like of a disciplinarian. I feel like

1223
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: these guys, Yeah, it might not vibe. Wade feels like

1224
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: good vibes. I feel like Mike Zimmer deserves he see,

1225
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: but he'll so fits the profile of what I'm looking for.

1226
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: Just a mean old man. Okay, Wade's a nice guy.

1227
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,439
Speaker 1: I could make him the DC. I mean at least

1228
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,959
Speaker 1: the DC, but I mean, all right, so the OC,

1229
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: I have Greg roman Um fifty years old, so he's

1230
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: he's eligible for the first time, but he doesn't have

1231
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: a job. I didn't defensive coordinator. I have Rex Ryan actually,

1232
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: who expressed interest in joining the Broncos staff. So he's

1233
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: his heart I think is in it, and he's got

1234
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: to be probably in the sixties now right around there. Uh.

1235
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: And then the special teams coach. We're actually keeping the

1236
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: chair empty until Mike west Off comes back from Denver,

1237
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: so that's out of it's gonna do it. It doesn't matter.

1238
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Just whatever Westuff would have done is kind of their

1239
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: guiding principle, like we're gonna have a giant Mike west

1240
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Off signed in the practice bubble. It just says, do

1241
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: your job with a mean old Mike west your kicker

1242
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: and punter a combined eighty years old. So they seem

1243
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: to they'll have some internal knowledge. Uh. I'm looking up,

1244
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: wait is four and two right now as the head

1245
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: coach of the Roughnecks six seven percent. I'm looking at

1246
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: trying because I wanted a defensive numbers um the XFLS

1247
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: you know stats page first time I've been here. Admittedly, Uh,

1248
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: they could go a little more. They've got like fur,

1249
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: They've got like four stats, not including like points allowed

1250
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: or anything. The mail bad question we didn't get to

1251
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: it last week, was like why are you guys not

1252
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: talking about the other leagues? Are you not allowed? It's like, like,

1253
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: you mean the XFL and the other thing. It's not

1254
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: it's not personal or anything. It just it does not

1255
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: interest me. It's too much at all. I spring football

1256
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: as a concept has nothing to do with me working

1257
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: for NFL. It just does not interest me. That's when

1258
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: I watch the NBA and I watch baseball and we

1259
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: talk NFL news. I don't need more leagues. I couldn't

1260
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: agree to any higher percentage with what you just say.

1261
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: And I might have felt differently maybe at different points

1262
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: in my life or we didn't have this job, or

1263
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: when you wanted there to be two football games a

1264
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 1: day every day of the year. Yeah, or like in

1265
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: another yeah, in another timeline where I've got hot dog

1266
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: fingers or something. But like we're I feel like we're

1267
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: still watching football, we're preparing for the drafting, the like,

1268
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: we're still doing some NFL watching in the off season.

1269
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: That's there's only so much bandwidth here. That's all I need.

1270
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: I got the Miami say that against tonight, you know,

1271
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: but jes let's go um and remember our team model

1272
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: remains unchanged just when sometimes baby, what do we think?

1273
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 1: How many wins this year? Five? I'll take I'll take

1274
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: five and twelve. That's progress from from a year ago.

1275
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: I think they say it for four and thirteen. Yeah, really,

1276
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: what's what's killing us? Ultimately, I'm gonna take the defense.

1277
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take what west traditional role is,

1278
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say one in sixteen. Yes, every year

1279
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: he would like talk it up that like, well, you

1280
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: know you're looking better this year and then you go

1281
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: one and sixty. Yeah, real future they have. I can't

1282
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: wait until the first one in sixteen. T even the

1283
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: NFL that that's almost more embarrassing than oh, in seventeen,

1284
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: you couldn't even do that, right, No, Yeah, but last

1285
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: year I thought my team was going to go ten

1286
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: and seven. I honestly think if I'm now going through

1287
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: it again, this is a five and twelve unit. Okay,

1288
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: dun you announced that publicly on the in your article. Yes,

1289
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: that's how I'll end it. Tough for the pamphletier to

1290
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: go into the season with someone else that can write this.

1291
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: Do we have someone else? I could listen to this

1292
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: past for them? Good stuff anyway. Yes, the other thing

1293
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: where someone just transcribes the podcast, because there have been

1294
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still an NFL dot com writer,

1295
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: but there it was absolutely an NFL dot com writer

1296
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 1: who worked in a public medium and would have his

1297
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: show transcribed and then that would just be an article.

1298
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: You outsourcing this on the pod is truly? Is that

1299
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: could we do? Could we just throw in this roster

1300
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: and then put my name in and maybe and just

1301
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: chatbot it? Wow? I think it's a great exploration. Why

1302
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: see what happened? I haven't tried that yet, but is that?

1303
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 1: Is that how it works? I'm not really sure the

1304
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: tech I feel you didn't fire up the chatbot. I

1305
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: don't know, because Elon Musk was part of a group

1306
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: that sent out like an open letter yesterday begging people

1307
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: to stop developing the chat GPT whatever it is program

1308
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 1: because he's afraid that, hey, I will take over civilization

1309
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and humanity. That's good, just don't take away my blue

1310
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: check mark. Start there. I think that's happening soon or

1311
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: it already happened. All right, there you go. Those are

1312
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: the graybeards, the baton rouge graybeards. So what you said,

1313
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: I think switch We're just going to rip another team

1314
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: from San Diego because Greg went to College of Julane

1315
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: Palm Beach would be bad. You got snowbirds them they're

1316
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:53,600
Speaker 1: wearing you like, put them in the cash money. I

1317
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: don't know. You could just really play into the baton

1318
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: rouge of it all. And they're a football mad state.

1319
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: San Diego fell in love with the team though. Okay,

1320
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: we want to do that for Lauderdale. That's where a

1321
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: door Lean lives exactly. All right, good one, good show.

1322
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: We'll be back next week. I will not be back

1323
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: next week. I will be on vacation. But we have um,

1324
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: Greg and the Gang on Monday, and then I go

1325
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: on vacation after that, and then Greg goes on vacation

1326
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 1: and then the show everyone's excited for Cesslermania. Are you

1327
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,640
Speaker 1: going to be in the host chair? Yeah, I'm not

1328
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: going to change physical seats. I'm going to stay right

1329
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: here because maybe this is the host chair that day.

1330
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: Can I get unsolicited advice? The reason I am in

1331
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: this chair. It is known in the industry. I know

1332
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: you think I came up with this name, but it's

1333
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: an industry term. It's the power chair. It allows you

1334
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: to have direct eye contact with your producer. Now you

1335
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,759
Speaker 1: have to turn to make eye contact with your producer

1336
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,480
Speaker 1: when you are leading the show and driving the conversation.

1337
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to have that right Justin, How how

1338
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: vital is it in our conversation? Oh yeah, most of

1339
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: the time, when like a drop's coming up, or a

1340
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: segment or a bit we're doing, it's like I look

1341
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: at your eyes and I know when to hit. Now,

1342
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: I'll move out of the way. I won't say another word.

1343
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: What you're gonna learn is that come that episode, all

1344
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: these rules that have been dropped on our society simply

1345
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 1: do not exist will be Colleen will be part of it.

1346
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the to the chaos, actually embrace it.

1347
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: From my experience doing the Monday Night thing, where I

1348
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: would sit there, Um, maybe you're spacey like me, Maybe

1349
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: you're not. I don't think I looked at Justin once

1350
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: in the forty minutes, or I would forget to look

1351
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: at the things he was sending me. On the computer

1352
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: because I just sort of got into my own world

1353
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: like I would do in any chair, So it didn't

1354
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: have a big impact. Very different takes. I would consider

1355
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 1: your advice. I think Dan makes a good point, but

1356
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: it didn't end up impacting me because I'm just too

1357
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: spacey and I'll move out of the way again. We'll

1358
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,600
Speaker 1: be just I'm gonna move back in the way, just

1359
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: to say, how about Thursday. It's the Chaos Cast and

1360
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna move out of the way. I think

1361
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 1: that's essentially it will be out of the way. I

1362
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the episode that I'm not

1363
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna do what everybody thinks I'm gonna do. All right,

1364
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: all right, before we go, this has not been a

1365
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: great week here at NFL Media. We have lost some

1366
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: colleagues to some cutbacks and other you know things going

1367
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes right now. Jim Trotter, who's a

1368
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: guy that we all have a ton of respect for,

1369
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: no longer with the company. Mike Giardi, who's been on

1370
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: the show and is a great reporter and an awesome guy,

1371
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: is moving on. And also, as people know by now,

1372
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Rachel Bannetta, whom I have so much respect and fondness

1373
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: for as a person and as a professional. I know

1374
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: you guys feel the same way. And she has been

1375
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: a great part of this show and just the brief

1376
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: time she was here and became a really good friend

1377
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: to all of us, and she's going to continue to

1378
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: kill it. But I think we all wanted to talk

1379
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 1: about and just at least reference it because it is

1380
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: something that has been kind of weighing on the whole

1381
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: media group and for us and Rachel especially that that

1382
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: won't hurt. Yeah, I think like Jim and Mike were

1383
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: absolutely excellent what they did, and you just can't replace

1384
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: their personalities and their value. And someone like Rachel. I

1385
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: always found her fascinating to work with and get to

1386
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: know because she was an atypical fit for NFL media

1387
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: in all the right ways. Like and I think sometimes

1388
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: media houses don't know what to do with someone when

1389
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: they're totally original, creative, throwing you for loops with their humor,

1390
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: doing stuff on social that was completely unhinged and enjoyable,

1391
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: and just doing stuff that there was only one Rachel

1392
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: Bonetta And so wherever she goes, she'll be she'll fill

1393
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: that role again very well. And so I mean it's

1394
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 1: like I'm almost like it's just excited to see what

1395
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: she does. I hate that. I think my favorite part

1396
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 1: about this job is the people. I've met. So many

1397
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 1: of my greatest friends here at NFL Media. You guys

1398
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: were my first ever friends when I moved here to

1399
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and so I hate losing anyone at any point.

1400
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: And I know it's going to happen because that's just

1401
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,759
Speaker 1: the nature of this industry especially, but it does. Really,

1402
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, once you get close to people, and Jim Trotter,

1403
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi and Bonetta, I've had a chance to kind of,

1404
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, have these nice relationships with them, and especially Banetta,

1405
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: I've gotten really close with her. I think the world

1406
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: of her. We spend a ton of time together in

1407
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Munich and it was just she's so creative, so talented,

1408
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: and just such a cool, down to earth, amazing, genuine

1409
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: person that I'm lucky enough to say is one of

1410
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: my good friends. So she's going to go on and

1411
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 1: do great. Yeah, total gem of a human, like a

1412
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: capital T talent where she could be a host. She

1413
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: was a great host on Game Debut and really brought

1414
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: that show together and was really fun doing it. And

1415
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, like it seemed like she she

1416
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: made a big impact in this place. And I was

1417
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: thinking back to when I first met her, and it

1418
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: was like a week before the season or a couple

1419
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 1: of weeks before the season started, just a year and

1420
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: a half ago for the twenty twenty one season, you know,

1421
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: to meet and meet the new game debut crew, and like,

1422
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: we had a lot of good times. A Friday Fun

1423
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: show is awesome and I'll always remember her coming up

1424
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: on stage with us in London. So it's like that

1425
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: as a great memory to having our Backpock not going anywhere,

1426
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 1: we'll be watching her on TV doing who knows what.

1427
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: And it was like a packed house in London, and

1428
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: we didn't even give her much like direction. We just

1429
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: said we're gonna put up some various figures on the

1430
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: screen and then just be Rachel. And the crowd loved her,

1431
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: and we love Rachel and uh and maybe who knows,

1432
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: we'll cross pass down the line. But I'd love to

1433
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: everything you guys said too, because I worked with her

1434
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: obviously closely producing Benched for over a year and yeah,

1435
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: extremely creative person and I will miss working with her.

1436
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,600
Speaker 1: We did not get better um hope to see her

1437
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 1: again soon. All right, now that's it. We'll be back

01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: week we'll all be back together. Recharge those batteries crossed, yes,
