Oh, Greg Rosenthal, 65 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: if you were quoted in the kwang Lamp Lamb piece 66 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: that was posted on NFL dot com, you're definitely in. 67 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: That's good to know. Yeah, super fan. And um, I 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: will point out by the I should say pull back 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: the curtain a little bit, Mark that I reached out to, Uh, 70 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: this is not a joke little Debbie's manager to see 71 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: if she would be interested in appearance to promoter show 72 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: do you want to you know, come on, you know, 73 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: the most popular, most downloaded NFL podcast in the world 74 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: and promote you know, your crappy rap artist.

She's pretty, she's very active. You 77 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: could have gone. I mean she's retweeted Mark like fifteen. 78 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: If I was trying to treat her like an actual professional, 79 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: that was my mistake. I mean, at this point, she's, 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, seven hours away from performing. We have no 81 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: idea what state she's in the clues we've been given 82 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: about Queen Days, that could be she she could her 83 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: mind state could be varied. So anyway, so UM, I 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: look forward to the full report for Mark Cesler meeting 85 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: up with Little Debbie at the Troubadour tonight. A lot 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: of stuff to get to on the Thursday edition of 87 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast UM sponsored by No One, 88 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: loved by millions, Beholden to no One correct Chris Westling 89 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: on today's show, we will talk about something that no 90 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: one else is talking about. What's that? Well that that's 91 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: kind of the tease. What is one thing out there? 92 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: And we're all going to go around the horn that 93 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: no one else is talking about but they should be. 94 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: And if there's literally one person out there that's talking 95 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: about this topic already, it's is that what they call it? 96 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Zat's all right, Well, that's challenging, but let's try to 97 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: so in this time of hyper narratives, as all the 98 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: team's report and they throw it out to the reporter, 99 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, at at the practice field for the same 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: update over and over again, this is what you should 101 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: really be talking about, and that's what we're gonna get it. Well, 102 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: but it has to be something no one in the 103 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: country has talked about at all. For instance, I'm gonna 104 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: be talking that the Bills. I don't know what that means, 105 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: the Bill's fifth receiver at all, including Colby listen b 106 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: because no one has talked about that. Yeah, there's a reason. 107 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: It has to be something that, GODSCTS is not good. Um, 108 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: something that uh yeah that matters. But it has to 109 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: be about football. Yes, what if we just go through 110 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: every team scheduled game by game instead predictively each week 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: who's gonna win? So we'll talk about that, something we 112 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: haven't done in a while. It's you know, it's very important. 113 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: I think part of the growth of the show. And 114 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: by the way, our subreddit around the NFL podcast on 115 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: Reddit is up over users now, So make sure you 116 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: get involved with that community because we are plugged in 117 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: on it.

But 132 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: before we do that, we check behind the glass with 133 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: the irishman. What's up, Brandon?

But it should 139 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: bring you some solace to know that only one team 140 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: gets to end the season with a win, and that 141 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: was the Shield.

It is essentially the 169 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: deal that he's wanted all along, and he got it. 170 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: And it's to me as a Jets fan, first of all, 171 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: thrilled that I don't have to endure any more Gino 172 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: Smith bits from s U Greg and also thousands of 173 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: people on Twitter, and I speak for all Jets fans 174 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: when I feel like the fun thing here is to 175 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: make fun of Jets fans because Ryan Fitzpatrick is not 176 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: that good. So why are they so excited about Ryan Fitzpatrick. 177 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: Because Ryan Fitzpatrick was a quality quarterback last year. The 178 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: Jets never have quality quarterbacks. You could say what you want. 179 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: He had a very nice season. He's well liked in 180 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: that locker room. He's a good dude, and he is 181 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: not Gino Smith. That Jets did not want anything to 182 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: do with him as a starter, and that's why this 183 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: deal got done. If if they actually did feel confident 184 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: in Geno Smith Greg this would have never happened. They 185 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: would have kissed Fitzpatrick goodbye a long time ago. But 186 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: ultimately they decided they needed to get this deal done. 187 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: They couldn't look themselves in the mirror, and that's why 188 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick reported to camp today with a big old 189 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: afro and a giant beard. I love that picture of Fitzpatrick. 190 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: I I like Fitzpatrick, but I disagree with your assessment 191 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: on the Jets plan. If there was any team in 192 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: the league that saw Ryan fitz Patrick as a real 193 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, he would not be on the Jets. But 194 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: the other thirty one teams agreed with the Jets that 195 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: he's not a real starting quarterback. He did not get 196 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: the money he wanted. He wanted sixteen, seventeen eighteen million. 197 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: That's what starting quarterbacks make. There is not a single 198 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league other than Ryan Fitzpatrick that makes 199 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: between the on average a total of seven point five 200 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: to sixteen million dollars that entire gap. No one makes 201 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: that money except for Fitzpatrick. Who's right in the middle, 202 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: because the Jets are value as the guy who's right 203 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: in between a starter and a backup. Exactly. Kudos to 204 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: the Jets. I think the Jets got exactly what they wanted. 205 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: They paid the right price, They played hardball, and they 206 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: got they got him back in it at the right price. 207 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: It was a good job by the Jets. But this 208 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: was a compromise because the Jets, we're offering eight million, 209 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: and that was that's what we had heard, and that's 210 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: and that was pure backup money or I guess a 211 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: high paid backup and and the Jets and the Jets 212 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: uh at to Ryan Fitzpatrick. Credit he dougas heels and 213 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: even though he didn't have a market, he's still got 214 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: the Jets to come up four million. And the incentive 215 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: again it's performance space for the team, but that could 216 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: kick it into fifteen million. And then you're talking about 217 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: this if the super Bowl, which could happen. If that happens, 218 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: you give everyone millions of dollars. But if Ryan Fitzpatrick 219 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl, they're gonna name streets after him 220 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: and buildings in New York getting goose bumps. That's exactly 221 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. But uh no, I mean everything is 222 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: in perspective as a Jets van, at least this Jets van. 223 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: I know he's not the long term answer, which another 224 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: one year deal makes sense. Smart Well. We talked about 225 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: in general manager Mike mccagnen a month ago. It looked 226 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: like this offseason for the Jets was, you know, a 227 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: plane spiraling to earth, total chaos and now you got 228 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: everyone you wanted. There was a There were people critiquing 229 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: mccagnet last night, and Joe Banner was one of them, 230 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: and he tweeted, well, I'm just you know, listen, he's 231 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: been in front office before. Very dangerous for the new 232 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: GM to be perceived as someone you can wait out 233 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: and get what you want at the end. Do you 234 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: feel that's what happened? I don't really. I think that 235 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: mccagnet has done a good job getting the players he 236 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: needed to get in the building. Didn't fits one of 237 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: the multi year deals, so maybe he didn't get you. 238 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: He wanted to think he wanted the one year deal. 239 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: The Jets wanted a three year deal, where basically he 240 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: was they could keep him around as kind of an 241 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: option one be back up, and Heath said, well, I'd 242 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: rather bet on myself for one year and if I 243 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: can repeat that season, maybe I'll get a long term deal. 244 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: Do you think that a year from now that their 245 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: plan is they want Do they see Christian Hackenburgh's the 246 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: quarterback of the future. Is it just gonna keep drafting 247 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: quarterbacks every season? They love him to be. I think 248 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: in a perfect world, Fitzpatrick is again playing it at 249 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: this level or better, and then they have to, even 250 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: though it won't be pleasant, maybe negotiate again. But if 251 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: he comes down to Earth, which I think a lot 252 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: of people think is what's gonna happen here, and let's 253 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: say it does happen, I go. I could totally see 254 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: them if they like Hackenberg's development, giving him a shot 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: at next year, maybe against a veteran in a competition, 256 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: hopefully not Gino Smith. Year from now as an eternity 257 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: could Could you imagine if I told you on July 258 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: two fifteen that you're gonna be playing Katrina in the 259 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: waves because Patrick re signed to be the Jets starter. Yeah, 260 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: it's a it's funny being a Jets fan, and it's 261 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: a it's a funny world. The NFL because that Ryan's 262 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: it's Patrick. By the way, got um over about a 263 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: three raise over salary last year, so that's the kind 264 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: of year he had and still is in the lower 265 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: paid echelon of starting quarterbacks or the lowest paid um 266 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: But he was making peanuts because he was a literal 267 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: journeyman nobody, and then he had the season of his 268 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: life well, and and he the guy who gets intercepted 269 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: a lot, and I think he was very lucky to 270 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: not get intercepted more than fifteen times. I think only 271 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: Eli Manny has more interceptions per throw since two thousand 272 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: and nine. Although obviously if he was like Eli, they 273 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be disappointed. They did say today Todd Bowles uh 274 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: said he basically confirmed Geno Smith not getting cut. He said, 275 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: Geno's here, He's gonna be our number two quarterback. Of course, 276 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: there's competition. And if even at he mentioned Fitzpatrick, if 277 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: it's if it's Patrick or Gina really struggle, there's someone 278 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: from the bottom really pushed to climb. You know, they 279 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: could change things around. But he said he's the backup. 280 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: He s dead. To Gino Smith's credit, he's handled this 281 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: very well. The less four months he got jerked around 282 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: a little bit and all this where he was just 283 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: a pawn in this game, and he could have run 284 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: his mouth, but he's and he's probably not happy behind 285 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: the scenes, but he didn't speak out. And he's gonna 286 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: slide into that backup role and maybe he'll end up 287 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: playing a big role in the season. You never know. 288 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: This Fitzpatrick thing could go either way. I'm going eyes 289 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: are wide open. I know people like Damnishek try to 290 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: have fun at the expense of me and other Jets fans, 291 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: but I think, uh, logical Jets fan has their eyes 292 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: wide open going into this. But it was the right 293 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: time to bring him back. Let's see if he can 294 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: win something. This is the best offense he's ever been on, 295 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean those Bills offenses when he 296 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: had that one good stretch that he had some players 297 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: on that team, but the combination at Decker and Brandon Marshall, 298 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: that's why I was a no brainer. He fits with 299 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: this team. Moving on another new deal, Mike Zimmer of 300 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, their head coach not going anywhere. The 301 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: team announced the contract extension for the third year head coach. Uh. 302 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: The length of that extension not immediately available to the public, 303 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: but Zimmer has eighteen wins in his first two years. 304 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: That's the most for any Vikings head coach of Stars 305 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: career other than the late Dennis Green who had twenty. Mark. 306 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: I know you're bullish on the Vikings this season. Uh, 307 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: And you like Mike Zimmer, don't you. Yeah? I think 308 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: that I said, you know earlier in the off season, 309 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: after this year, that will view him as a top 310 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: five coach. I think it took him way longer than 311 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: it should and you should have to get a head 312 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: coaching job, and he's very quickly made the most of it. 313 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: So this was a good move by the Vikings. That 314 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: was oppression statement by you. Because when I hear this 315 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: statement from Rick Spielman, their general manager, there is no 316 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: doubt Zimmer is going to be our coach for a 317 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: long time. That tells me that they view him as 318 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: one of the best coach chose in the NFL. He 319 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: reminds me of Bruce arians guy that you can see 320 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: why maybe he didn't interview that well, not a guy 321 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: that plays politics. Is very honest and it took him 322 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: a while to get his chance, and he's awesome. He 323 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: and the thing is you kind of know what what 324 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: defines a Mike Zimmer team. A tough secondary maybe with 325 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: some veterans that are gonna play over their heads, A 326 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: good defensive line and aggressive team. They're stuck, gonna loaded NFC. 327 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: I really think the NFC is better this year, that 328 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: there's gonna be better top level teams in the NFC. 329 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tougher to make the Super Bowl at 330 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: the NFC. Put them in the a f C. They're 331 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: right there maybe with the top teams. Greg is in 332 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: his sweet spot. He's just this is the whole world 333 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: is before him, the whole season. I just I can 334 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: see the excitement and Greg, where is this coming from? Yeah, 335 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: he's texting me again, and I'm gonna have to and 336 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: I just you know, I wanna have at some point, 337 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: I have to shut this thing down because it's too 338 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: or the the whole thing, because you know, for obvious reasons. 339 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: But you know, it's about two fifteen am. I wake 340 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: up from well he sent it around. It was one am. 341 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: I got you know, he said, I wake up it 342 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: like you were You weren't already up? No, I was 343 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: asleep for teen am. I do you want I'm just 344 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: gonna read flat out. There's no analysis here. It just 345 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: says he wrote to me, Hey, bro, what up, my dude. 346 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting around the house drinking some white wine 347 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: and looking through old vacation photos of my trip to Japan. Yeah, 348 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: really got me thinking about how much I missed traveling. 349 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: I love to get on a passenger jet right now 350 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: and fly to Europe and tour that region's rich array 351 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: of ancient castles. Do you like castles? I really like 352 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: castles so much. This is when I was like, Greg's 353 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: obviously drinking the white wine. I love human history and 354 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: the study of architecture. Tonight I ate roast beef for 355 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: dinner with the side of Bismardi rice. Yes, I know 356 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird to mix roast beef with a 357 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: rice that originates from the Indian subcontinent, but I like 358 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: doing experimental things with food. You never know how various 359 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: platters will combine to form a completely new dish. I 360 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: looked out my window just now and saw a child 361 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: flying by in a bike. I missed being a child 362 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: and feeling free. Do you agree? See you tomorrow, fondly? Greg? Yeah, 363 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: I want to I want to know what you're drinking 364 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: before that comes out. I got of The text starts 365 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: out in a very friendly, informal tone and then ends 366 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: in the most formal of all type of sign offs, fondly, Greg. 367 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: I can't explain it. It won't I will not be 368 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: receiving any more text from Greg. What you can do 369 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: put it on silent or silent, do not disturbed on 370 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: your iPhone. The rio villain. Here are the parents that 371 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: lead that kid ride the bike at one thirty in 372 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: the morning. It's fair Point, It's Los Angeles. Yeah, oh, 373 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: I thought that was a vision. No, I don't know 374 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: what it was. Flying by on a bike, like literally 375 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: flying Greg moving on the Cleveland Browns. They will not 376 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: be wasting any time naming that start starting quarterback coach. 377 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: Coach Hugh Jackson told reporters on Thursday he plans to 378 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: pick his starting quarterback quote before the first preseason game. 379 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: This according to uh Mark's paramore Mary kay Cabot of 380 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: The Plane Dealer, Um, what is that not accurate? I 381 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: think that that was the wrong word. This paramore now 382 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: is a little Debbie. I don't know that former paramore 383 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: well also on barrel on this completely fixed tics I 384 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: mean that's ridiculous. Okay, Well you seem a little frazzled 385 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: by it, which makes me think it might be true. Well, 386 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: I was looking at something else and then I heard that, 387 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: And so you're not dating or formerly dating Mary Kay Dabbott. Deal. 388 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: I am baffled it where you're going with the Browns 389 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: entered camp with r G three, Josh McCown, Austin Austin Davis, 390 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: and rookie Cody Kessler all in a competition. Mark, Sorry 391 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: for side tracking there. Who is winning this competition? That 392 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: will be over before the first preseason I don't need 393 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: this walking on Sunshine song here. I mean, I think 394 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: this is it feels like they're just gonna give it 395 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: to RG three unless he really crumbles. Because this is 396 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: an odd timeline for me. I think you need to 397 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: see r G three in game situations. But what are 398 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: they gonna do handed to Josh McCown before the first game. 399 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: I just it's going to r G three and I 400 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: don't really get it. Just sounds like a terrible idea. 401 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: It reminds me of how Rick's uh Bill O'Brien played 402 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: the Texans quarterback last room last year. So you're gonna 403 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: play r G three. In the last two years, we've 404 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: seen him absolutely implode in the preseason. So what happens 405 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: when he does that and you have to turn around 406 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: and name Josh McCown All right, how many live tackling 407 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: practices are there before the first preseason game? I think 408 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: you only get fourteen or something the whole camp, So 409 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: there's how many before then you're gonna make a decision? 410 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: To me, this is all Hugh Jackson. He's made up 411 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: his mind that it's r G three, and it's almost 412 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: like he wants to warn everyone and prepare them and 413 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: announce the starter before anything can change that. All evidence 414 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: that we have is that the best quarterback they have 415 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: is Josh mccount. And you know, I I was vocal 416 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: about this when they signed r G three. It felt 417 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: like a terrible decision when it happened. Still think it's 418 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: a terrible decision. I think it's a train wreck. And 419 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: giving him the job before it just it makes me 420 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: think they really are serious. They seriously believe that they're 421 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: going to be able to fix him, and this is 422 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: not a this is not patchwork. They think in their 423 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: mind that they have a chance to fix this. Guy 424 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: and make him a multi year starter. So and they're 425 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: treating him that way, frankly by giving him the job 426 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: before he has, frankly done anything to prove that he 427 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: deserves it. It's it's it's a little puzzling to me. 428 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: I agree, that's that's fine to believe it, but you 429 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: still gotta watch and see what happens. That's the thing 430 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: the writers who were watching in the offseason practices kept saying, Look, 431 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: if if you were just watching them, you would think 432 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: Josh McCown is the guy who is most ready to start, 433 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: which doesn't surprise you. All you have to do is 434 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: watch the last three years of games when RG three 435 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: played or Josh McCown play. Not that Josh McCown is 436 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: an all pro, but that he he wasn't their problem 437 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: last year. If you, I mean, McCown gives you a 438 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: starter until you find your guy. So maybe we're all 439 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: wrong and he's gonna name Josh McCown the starter. Mm hmm. 440 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: That would be something that would be a huge surprise 441 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: right well, the way the way Mary Kay Cabot and 442 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: the rest of the Browns Beat reporters have talked for 443 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: the past a few months that would be. The timeline 444 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: would be equally baffling, though, because then why wouldn't you 445 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: have wanted to see the rest of your guys before 446 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: you named Josh McCown. Are you inherited as your starter? 447 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, either way, it doesn't make a lot of sense. 448 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: See some games. Yeah, I I went into this camp 449 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: with the Browns thinking McCown still has a decent chance 450 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: to pull an upset because he'll just outplay him. But 451 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: did this quote makes me think he does not have 452 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: much of a chance. Moving on another quarterback talk, the 453 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos traded up to select Paxton Lynch with the 454 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: overall pick in April's draft, and you know a lot 455 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: of talk that he would need at least a year 456 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: to get ready, he was a raw quarterback. But then 457 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: there's Paxiston Lynch, who's a real guy and a competitor, 458 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: and he's looking at a quarterback depth chart that includes 459 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, a journeyman, let's face it, and Trevor Simeon, 460 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: who you know, not for nothing, is kind of in 461 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: the same category as our old friend from Houston. For me, anyway, 462 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: Tom Savage, Little Tom Savage Ey, does he actually exist? 463 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: Is he just uh uh, some type of propped up 464 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: um three D hologram of some sort meant to stir 465 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: up this quarterback competition a little bit. I don't know. 466 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: I'm not saying yes or no. I'm just saying it 467 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: is what it is. And so Paxiston Lynch is saying, hey, 468 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: I can be the starter this year if you're gonna 469 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: choose between those guys. Here's what he said. I definitely 470 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: think I have the opportunity to better myself and put 471 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: myself in the position to play right away or sooner 472 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: than I had thought. I know these guys were going 473 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: to be ahead of me just because of experience. Trevor 474 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: his experience in the offense, and Mark his experience in 475 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: the league, and me being a rookie. And this is 476 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: the first time I've seen a playbook like that. So yeah, 477 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: that's basically saying the only thing working against me is experience. 478 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Give me a shot, bro. And then Gary Kubiak came 479 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: out and said it's going to be an open competition 480 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: with all three quarterbacks, they're gonna get equal reps. I 481 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: still think that Kubiak has gone so far out of 482 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: his way to point out how green Lynch is that 483 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: there has to be a purpose to that. He but 484 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: he also said on Wednesday that all these areas running 485 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: the huddle, getting to the line of scrimmage that Lynch 486 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: has improved. That was an issue in April and May 487 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: and and now it's not as much of an issue 488 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: even today. In the first first practice, you know, he 489 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: came out after the practice and he said he thought 490 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: Sanchez looks sharp, and he thought Lynch's head was swimming 491 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: after the first day at camp, which is totally to 492 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: be expected. That was the book on Lynch coming out 493 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: of that system in Memphis. It was gonna be a 494 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: tough transition. You couldn't You can't get much different than Kubiak. 495 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Alway has come out in multiple times and 496 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: said Lynch ken and maybe we'll start sooner than people believe. 497 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: I've always looked at this Broncos team as Kubiak wasn't 498 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: afraid to switch quarterbacks last year. We could see three 499 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: different starters this season. I just I don't think that 500 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: would be crazy. Because Sanchez is a master of working 501 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: himself out of a job. They're gonna want to see 502 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: Simmy in at some point, and then maybe Lynch is 503 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: ready later in the year. Who knows. I have some 504 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: bad news for you, Chris Westling. One of your colleagues 505 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: or former colleagues, has been injured in a boating accident. Oh. 506 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: Warren sat made history Wednesday. He became the first Hall 507 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: of Famer to survive a shark attack. The former Bucks 508 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: and Raiders star and former NFL Network commentator was bit 509 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: on the arm during a lobster fishing expedition off the 510 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: Florida Keys. Apparently that's something that happens. According to The 511 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Times, Jack Carlson, a charter captain who was 512 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: involved with this mess, uh tweeted our texted with the 513 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Times. It's simple. He was lobstering with me 514 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: and a shark bit SAP while he was grabbing the lobster. 515 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: He's okay, Uh. A gross Instagram photo of a pretty 516 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: nasty gash in SAP's arm. But he will survive. I repeat, 517 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: Warren Sapp will not die. We caught four foot sharks 518 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: off the coast of Tybee when I lived there. There's 519 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: things run on batteries. Four foot's nothing battery as opposed 520 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: to the sharks. You plug in, you gotta get a 521 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: nine or ten foot shark. Then we're talking I mean, 522 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: then we're talking about Warren Sap really survives something. This 523 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: is basically saying to any of the sharks listening, come 524 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: at me, I'm not afraid of you, four foot shark. 525 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: This is slightly more than a mosquito bite. There was 526 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: a nurse shark too, not the not exactly a bowl 527 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: or a great white. I'm impressed Dan the research and 528 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: you guys can check out this article well done on 529 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: Dan's new end Around pageoch is the End Around Project. 530 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of fire on end Around, 531 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: so check it out. And but you a lot of 532 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: research must have gone into that to go back check 533 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: every single Hall of Famer to make sure. Oh wait, 534 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: I heard mel hind might might have gotten the by 535 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: maybe Broncosky. Nope, nope, that was just a well some 536 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: previous Hall of famers have actually bitten sharks. It's it 537 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: was actually Greg. I don't like to pull back the 538 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: curtain in the terms my research and the work I 539 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: do behind the scenes. But yes, this was a post 540 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: I've been working on for a week in fact that 541 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: you know Warren Sapp was being bitten. I just want 542 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: to put right. It's gonna happen at some point, maybe 543 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: ready for it, and then fortune shine down on my 544 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: little blog project. That's the truth. That's what's happening in 545 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: the news. Guys. Nice end around project. Don't You don't 546 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: want to call the page? What what is it? Sight? 547 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: It's just the end around NFL dot com slash end around. Um. 548 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: That's the thing I'm working on right now. Uh um, 549 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's do it. Let's talk about one thing 550 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: no one is talking about. Nobody. If one person is 551 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: talking about it, already null and void. You're going in 552 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: the penalty box. That's the glass. We're Brandon sitting looking 553 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: at you. Mark First, Well, I'm banged right out of 554 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: the gate because you know the Vikings. Yeah, everyone wants 555 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: to hand the NFC North to the Green Bay Packers, right. Oh, 556 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson's coming back and the Vikings that you know, 557 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: came within a missed field goal of knocking the Seahawks 558 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs last year. We'll forget about them. 559 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna come back to Earth and it's gonna be 560 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: green Bay's to visually. No. Fourteen and two have a 561 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: nice time. Disagree, disagree. People need to realize people are sleeping. 562 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: What are people not talking about? They are not talking 563 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: about this The Vikings. The Vikings to me, I just 564 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: said that they have a top five coach. I think 565 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: that they are one of the most improved team is 566 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: over the last two seasons under Zimmer were from where 567 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: they were then until now. They've got talent all around 568 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. They just drafted La Lakwan Treadwell to help 569 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: the passing game. You've got Mo Boring, You're there. The 570 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: German sensation can't break up. Here's what the people aren't 571 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: talking about. The Vikings are this year's Cardinals. M They're 572 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: gonna be one of the most exciting teams to West 573 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: hijacking your point, Go ahead West. We discussed this at 574 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: lunch and so we actually did talk about it before. 575 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. That game against the Cardinals last 576 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: year they lost twenty twenty, that is the blueprint of 577 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: what this team can be. Minus the loss. They that 578 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: was one of the best games for a team that 579 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: didn't win all season last year. They looked fantastic. You're 580 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: saying there's a chance that that team is going to 581 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: learn how to close out those type of games and 582 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: talking and win the division. I don't I don't like 583 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: this immediately handing the NFC North to the Green Bay Packers. 584 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: The Vikings need to be paid attention to and they're 585 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: gonna win this division. Got it. So no one's talking about, uh, 586 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: the other teams in the NFC North, specifically the Vikings 587 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: as real division threats and the Vikings as a potential juggernaut. 588 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if well, I know who's the quarterback. 589 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm putting this out. I'm not sure if 590 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: I would buy this argument, but I think what West 591 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: is getting too in terms of their excitement level and 592 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: the team that they've built slowly rising. There's an argument 593 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: to be made that they're gonna be one of the 594 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: top four or five teams in the NFL that you 595 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: think of the power teams, and they kind of fit 596 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: that profile of a team that stayed together and could 597 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: be in that mix. Now, I would throw the Packers 598 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: in the next two, Panthers, Seahawks, Patriots, maybe those are 599 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: your five teams, but that the Vikings have a shot 600 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: at r Cardinals at that sort of level. Cardinals two. 601 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: So that's six. West. You're up. Here's something that nobody 602 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: is that's the key to this exercise. No, that might 603 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: have to change. Nobody is talking about the ongoing disrespect 604 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals, who will enter this season once 605 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: again with the strongest roster in the a f C 606 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: and should be considered prohibitive favorites in their division over 607 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: a Steelers team that loses a difference making talent seemingly 608 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: every week. That's fair. Dog. You know, we talked about 609 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton as if he's some one year wonder and 610 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: that because Hugh Jackson's gone and Marvin Jones is going 611 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: to Mohamed Sanoo's gone, that he's just gonna he's gonna 612 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: turn back into a pumpkin at midnight. But I think 613 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: the fact is he made the leap. He's a franchise 614 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: quarterback now. And you heard it when Brandon Lafel came 615 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: in and saw him during the offseason, compared him to 616 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady for his mastery of the offense and how 617 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: he leads that team. I think a little more respect 618 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: is due Andy Dalton. I think that's fair. But this 619 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: is the chance for him to prove it because he's 620 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: gonna start the season, like he said with La fell 621 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: Boyd as a rookie as his slot receiver and Tyler 622 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: Eiffort being on the bench, so I don't know who's 623 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: starting tight end, Tyler Croft or something, So it's it's 624 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: not an easy start in situation. He's coming off in 625 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: injury too, and if he is that guy who made 626 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: the leap, he'll keep he'll keep the ship afloat and 627 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: he'll play well well. We've talked about the Steelers and 628 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: Bengals as in a Patriot like and they're they're just 629 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: consistency organization from top to bottom. The Bengals, they I 630 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: understand the playoff situation, but they are the benefactors now 631 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: of keeping their coach and assistance around. And Marvin Lewis 632 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: has a huge coaching tree at this point, and the 633 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: Bengals have to be looked at one of those teams 634 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: that year to year they don't blow the ship up 635 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: and there they now have grown a roster through Marvin 636 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: Lewis and the scouting department that didn't exist before into 637 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: something formidable. There are very few teams in today's NFL 638 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: that can just allow veteran free agents to walk and 639 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: then immediately plug in somebody just as good. And the 640 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: Bengals have that kind of depth. Think about their cornerbacks, 641 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: about how they really have like four cornerbacks, including three 642 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: that are their own high picks. They don't even have 643 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: to play their first round pick because they have so many. 644 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: Or Vante's perfect who no other team wanted. Um, I 645 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: will um go to the NFC West and the Seattle Seahawks, 646 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: who for years we never had to think about the 647 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: running back position because he had Marshawn Lynch there and 648 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 1: he was one of the best running backs of his generation. 649 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: He's going to the Hall of Fame. Uh. And then 650 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: he got hurt last year and this guy, Thomas Rawls 651 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: stepped in and he looked just as good, well maybe 652 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: not just as good as Marshall Lynch, you're gonna say better, 653 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: all right. He was great, He was tremendous. Then he 654 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: suffers a particularly nasty lower leg injury that requires surgery. 655 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: And I just want to throw it out there here. Uh. 656 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: The Seattle team, they love running the football, and I 657 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: know Russell Wilson's a superstar and that's gonna help you 658 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: in any situation. But you gotta run the rock. And 659 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls uh is not ready for training camp. He's 660 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: gonna um stay on the pup list. They don't expect 661 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: him to play much in the preseason. They're really babing him, 662 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: which makes me think that this is a serious injury, 663 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: the type of injury where that you really don't know 664 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: where you're gonna get out of him at the very 665 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: least in the beginning of the season. But who knows 666 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: how he'll come back from a nasty leg injury. And 667 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: and uh, you look at the rest of their depth chart. 668 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. You can get excited about somebody if 669 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: you're if you're a spice rack type college enthusiast. Well, 670 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: we know Kristen Michael, who knows if he'll even make 671 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: the team. THO would probably drafted three guys. Yeah, they 672 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: got the guy at a Notre Dame in the third 673 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: round c J process. But he's also dealing with it. 674 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: He didn't play in any spring workouts because he has 675 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: a hip injury. So that's I mean. I'm just saying 676 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: there's a lot of uncertainty suddenly in Seattle's backfield for 677 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: the first time, and in a very competitive division and conference. 678 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: That's something to keep an eye on. I don't think 679 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: people are talking about that a lot well, not to 680 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 1: mention their entire offensive line won't return a single starter 681 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: at the same position as a year ago. So that's 682 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: a combination with with the running backs, and maybe they'll 683 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: be better. Tom Cable, you mentioned Mark last show as 684 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: a great assistant. They they're putting a lot of faith 685 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: in him to figure all this out. Maybe they'll be 686 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: better on the offensive line. I would think with Rowles, though, 687 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: that if I was a fantasy leaguer, I'd be very 688 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: wary of taking him because who's to say that Collins 689 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: or Process or their seventh round pick or another undrafted guy. 690 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: Who's to say they're not the next Thomas Rawls. This 691 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: is a thing my manufacturer running backs. There are people 692 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: who watch college tape and can see this kind of stuff. 693 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: But I my point is, no one was talking about 694 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: Thomas Rawles. Is this type of player a year ago. 695 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: Who's to say one of these guys can't compete with 696 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 1: him and at least share some carries with the guy 697 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: who's coming off of serious injury. Well, I'm gonna have 698 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: to call little bs on that. I'm not gonna downplay 699 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: Thomas rowles injury because it's a major injury and he's 700 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: not healthy now, but if he's healthy, he's quite clearly 701 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: a top ten running back in the NFL. And these 702 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: guys on the bench are not well, but you don't 703 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 1: know that that's what you would have. Scattering Porst Collins 704 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: is an average talent and has a vertical in a 705 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 1: slow forty time. You kind of doubt that he's gonna 706 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: out out play Thomas Rawls, right, but if any scouts 707 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: knew Thomas Rowles was Thomas Rawles, he wouldn't be undrafted 708 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: if you can't ignore what he put on can't ignore 709 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: what he put on tape, which was great little legitimately great. 710 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: One thing about Seattle, and it started with Russell Wilson. 711 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: It didn't matter who else was on that roster. This 712 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: is the month where they're going to decide who their 713 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: starters are, and it's not going to be it is. 714 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: It's a meritocracy, and Rawles, if he plays like last year, 715 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: should be the starter. Barring someone tearing up the field. 716 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: I mean someone's gonna have to come in and play 717 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: very very well. I think it's more a thought where 718 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: one of these guys that they emerge, especially as a 719 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: third down back like process. You know, could could split 720 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: work with him, especially as he's getting back healthy. And 721 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: I think that's I mean, Process is the guy. He's 722 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: They have huge plans for him as their third down guy, 723 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: passing down guy. And I whether it Rawles is healthy 724 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: or not, Process is gonna To West's point, Thomas Rowles 725 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: was tremendous last year. A hundred and forty seven carries 726 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: has all he got before he got hurt, uh in 727 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: early December, but he had a five point six yards 728 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: per carry. That guy was moving the ball every time 729 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: he touched it. Uh, we'll see if he gets back 730 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: to form. Greg, I'm gonna talk well, see, this is tricky. 731 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: You really laid down to God that no one is 732 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: talking literally no one. I'm saying I failed completely. Not 733 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: saying people, I'm saying fans. I'm saying fathers and sons 734 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: and their den on a quiet Sunday evening, no one 735 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: could have talked about this. I was gonna talk about that. 736 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: I don't think Jared Goff starting week one is a lock, 737 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: but I feel like Steve Weish has started to hint 738 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: about that. So someone has talked about that that that 739 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: is something to watch that you just shouldn't get You 740 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: shouldn't assume that Jared Goff is just locked in day 741 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: one starter. Whether it's Sean Mannion or whether it's case Keenum, 742 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: it depends. It's really all about golf fighting himself and expectations. 743 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: If he can show he's ready to start, he'll start, 744 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: and if not, maybe they'll bring him along slowly. So 745 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: you are going to talk about this, I don't know 746 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: that there's very little chance that golf starts week one. Well, 747 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't believe that, though I don't believe that. I 748 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: don't want to overrate what happened in O T AS. 749 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: It sounds like he was definitely not going to be 750 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: starting if he keeps up his trajectory from O T 751 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: A S. But you never know that that's nonpadded practice. 752 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 1: Maybe things are gonna come along quickly when he's practicing 753 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: twice a day in training camp, you don't know. It 754 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: sounded like he was not on the trajectory to start. 755 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: It's pretty stark the reports that we heard from Steve 756 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: Weisch about golf compared to say, Marcus Mariotta, Yeah, Tennessee 757 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: last year when Mariotta was seen as a project and 758 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 1: came in and blew the doors off, Wentz is getting 759 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: praise from all his position coaches no matter what. The 760 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: red shirt nonsense with hin give me a break reminds 761 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: me a little of Alex Smith, who was not ready 762 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: when they put him in. Of Aaron Rodgers, who really 763 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: got hammered by the Packers writers during his rookie training camp. 764 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: By the way, so did Brian Brown, right, So you 765 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: just never know. You just never know. But people have 766 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: talked about that. So I think I failed. I wouldn't 767 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: beat yourself up. How about the fact that how about 768 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: the fact that the Cardinals don't have two starting quality cornerbacks, 769 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: that they have really poor depth. Well, now you're feeling 770 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: because you're going on to a second. No one's talking about. 771 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 1: This is supposed to be a super team. Justin Bethel 772 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,439 Speaker 1: is their starting cornerback. He's not healthy. He's not gonna 773 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: be back for three weeks so, and he was their 774 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: fourth cornerback a year ago. So if I'm hearing you correctly, 775 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: nobody's talking about the huge grade powers loss in their secondary. 776 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, they give me a break. They've got 777 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: the best cornerback in the NFL. On one side, They've 778 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 1: got Honey Badger coming back. They've got Justin Bethel who 779 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: did find down the stretch, and they'll probably sign some 780 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: veteran off the street. They know how to coach. You 781 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: gotta get Honey Badger. I never knew you were such 782 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,479 Speaker 1: a Grade Powers fan. That's low mar of a Tony 783 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: Jefferson guy. Do you have a third topic you'd like 784 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: to bring it up? Greg? Uh? Yeah?

But also you've gotta 794 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: keep that head small enough we can get through the 795 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: door into the podcast studio. So that's why we read 796 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: the bad stuff too. This is called uh iTunes customer reviews, Irish, 797 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: I need to workshop that although this is from m 798 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: kl W O six title pre review grade C minus, 799 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: but a five star, so it's a bit. A former 800 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: coldtown resident, a post postman, a tarot card enthusiast, and 801 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: an NFL Japan correspondent get together three times a week 802 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: to bash the browns and pronounce Jeri's birds bired, birired. 803 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: This is a good one. You ready. This is a 804 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: true story, by the way, this one coming up title. 805 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: I was far away on a boat five stars from dregs. Yes, 806 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: it's true. I was away on a boat when this 807 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: was dropped on me a bob upon a wine dark sea. 808 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: We ran an iPhone up the mast, a three g 809 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: lobster pot and check to find a squirming, juicy pod. 810 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: Trust me, my friend said, you'll like it. Perhaps it 811 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 1: was the time three weeks at sea with snorting seals 812 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: for a company. Perhaps it was the drink wine, whiskey 813 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: and rum until our poores grew poors and wreaked, the 814 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: dead sloth guests swirled around our feet. Probably it was 815 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: the companion ship too old. Divine friends whose word had 816 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: whose words had weeks before, begun to strangle chord around 817 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: each other's necks. Into this dank space flowed four heroic 818 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: voices which soothed like manly Na Odds all the white 819 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: capped nerves and creaking tackle of our sea, frayed minds. 820 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: Gregg is the will to rule them, Dan is the 821 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: hand to shape them, Chris is the past to judge them, 822 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,240 Speaker 1: and Mark is the future to guide them. Now years 823 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: have passed back on land, I have lost my salt 824 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: and filled the empty space. There's always a place for them, 825 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: and they always will be ghost written by Mark. I 826 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: was gonna say, I was amazing? What who is this person? 827 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that off the boat if Mark 828 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: is right. So that's a great one. Yes, probably inspired 829 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: ones ever, probably it has to be. But they're not 830 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: all good. This guy did some of that from Old 831 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: Man in the Sea. That was beautiful from William is Bill. 832 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: He wrote it on the fourth of July. It seemed 833 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: like an interesting time should have been. This is Bill 834 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: being says something about him title They don't talk football 835 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: one star. They are great when they actually talk football, 836 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: but most of the time they talked about things that 837 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: should be left off air. It isn't entertaining or funny. 838 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: The first ten minutes of every show is a torture 839 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: to listen to. It's very disdaining. Considering this should be 840 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: one of the best NFL podcasts, but until they get 841 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: a new host or get professional enough to actually talk football, 842 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: I will be on subscribing written by Greg Right that 843 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, that's Indon County either.

I won't, Buddy Rosenthal, You're as 861 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: you're as tolerable as a Patriots fan as one can be. 862 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: That's that's a that's nice. Keep drumming up the Dolphins, 863 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: so maybe you can jump ship post Brady West Consistent 864 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: analysis that keeps the debate focus when talking points become ridiculous. 865 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,240 Speaker 1: West Of this was one of the funniest football holidays. 866 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 1: There is one of them. Fold not the funny, it's 867 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: just one of them. Sessler. The Browns can't stink forever. 868 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 1: Keep going with a post apocalyptic creative writing pieces. You 869 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: should look into narrating books on tape. Love you guys. 870 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: That was nice, very nice. Right underneath that, Nope, one 871 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: star by action Potato hero a bunch of nobody's socializing 872 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: with each other, occasionally touching the NFL's accurate. They're definitely 873 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: offseason criticism. Uh do a couple more six Oh, this 874 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: is a good one. Four guys who obviously never played 875 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: football beyond Little League. One star, by the way, not 876 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 1: can I just be on it? Not a real criticism 877 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: because of the people in this business that played football 878 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: have absolutely nothing to say. We at least have something 879 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: to say, whether you agree or disagree. There there's a 880 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: mindset that if you haven't played football in the NFL, 881 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 1: you don't belong talking about it, and we are not 882 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: the podcast for anybody with that mindset. So Blake Bard, 883 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read your comment anyway, but just know where 884 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 1: to stick it. Typical non players who read stats and 885 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 1: numbers and make horrible predictions year to year. It's pretty accurate. 886 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 1: This is a Patriots, Jets and Brown's podcast. I have 887 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 1: no team, but really care very little bit about the 888 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: Jets or the Browns because they are hopelessly irrelevant in 889 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:14,760 Speaker 1: the league. Amateur amateur comedy. This written by West amateur 890 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: comedy mixed in with acting condescending to the athletes. Nice 891 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 1: writing there, but uh, they make their parasite living off 892 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: all talented writers. Those random but of course sold out 893 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 1: for actually a low amount of money because their self 894 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: esteem is so low they don't pursue writing original material. 895 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: Find low hanging fruit stories and wow, this is just 896 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: delving right into the written side here. Find low hanging 897 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: fruit stories and pretend to hate it even though they 898 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: shouldn't be talking about it so often. Very nice guys. 899 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: I like how every sentence is like preface with the 900 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: compliment and then the daggers conflicted. Yeah, very ambivalent, not 901 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: even read the rest of this. Guess he made a 902 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,919 Speaker 1: lot of good points and some badland. That was fair, 903 00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: though again these are these guys are doing a good job. 904 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't like being called a sellout. 905 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 1: That's one thing I've never been. Alright, West, calm down. Finally, 906 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: Art and Science five stars, Andy Sweeney, just by the name, 907 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: you know it's a nice guy. What do you get 908 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: when you can bind the comedic artistry and the hair 909 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: game of the old Zuser, the nostalgic prose of hurt 910 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: and hope from the Quiet Storm, and the scientists heat 911 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: of Mailman and Boss.

But the mean ones 916 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: are cutting a little too close to the bone. And 917 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's you know, that's why 918 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: you got a little real. There were some very accurate, 919 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: intriguing things said, and there were some completely incorrect things. 920 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: And you know, and now that, yeah, I'm feeling a 921 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: little hurt.
