7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: beat reporter for the New York Post, works for wf AN.

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Nobody's is tied in to the Jets and their current dysfunction.

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: As Brian Costello, hopefully it's headed eventually in the right direction.

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: I know, and I like Joe Douglas the GM Let's hope.

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: So Brian, let me start with this. So Adam Case

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna work. He holds a press conference.

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: It is beyond weird. His eyes are going everywhere. You know.

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: It got mocked by everybody, And you know, I again,

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: I relied on the Manning family. I relied on things

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: i'd heard. The people I knew thought he was really bright.

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: They said he was basically Kyle Shanahan had the potential

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: to rub people the wrong way, but he was really

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: really a thoughtful guy, smart guy, when did you think, shit,

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: this isn't working. It's just not working. He just never

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: really had a chance. Colin, and I agree with some

22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: of that stuff you just said, and getting to know

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Adam like I did over the last two years, I

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: thought more about him than a lot of people. He

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: was a smart guy. He is. He is a smart guy.

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: He's a thoughtful guy. He's particulous in his preparation. He

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: was very good at explaining everything he did and why

28
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: things worked and didn't work. But I'll tell you, the

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: fans just wanted no part of him, and it just

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: became toxic really here, almost from the start. You know,

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: first off, he's they viewed him as a Dolphins reject, right,

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: so it was an oh boy, here we go, we're

33
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: hiring a Dolphin's retread. He did nothing with the Dolphins,

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: which wasn't fair. He had success with the Dolphins early on,

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: but they didn't even then, the press conference happens. Okay,

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: he becomes a meme, he becomes a joke on the internet.

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Then he has this power struggle with Mike mccagnen and

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: wins it, and he's viewed as this power hungry guy

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: when in actuality, Mike mccagnan should have been fired if

40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you look at his draft. That's why the Jets are

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: where they are because Mike mcagney's drafts. So it just

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: became toxic Colin and I thought he could pull out

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: of it when they went seven and nine, when they

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: once they went six and two in the last eight games,

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: I thought he pulled out of it. But then this year,

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: like the schedule was brutal, They just they didn't improve enough.

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: They didn't give them enough weapons, I thought to work with.

48
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about weapons with Sam Darld. I know we're

49
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about him. No one talks about that with

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze. Adam Gaze had no weapons to work with here.

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: I think that was part of it. And you know,

52
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: once once they were zero and ten oh and eleven,

53
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: you knew it was over. Listen, Darnald worked with fifty

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: six different offensive teammates, none of them a Pro bowler,

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: none of them. I mean, you know, I mean, compare

56
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: that to Baker Mayfield, who has the number one graded

57
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: offensive line on Pro Football Focus, two great backs, Jarvis

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: landry O b J. I mean compare that to almost

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: any quarterback was there. I mean, obviously, Sam didn't have

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: a ton to work with with your sourcing though. Did

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: you hear things from the gay side. Were there frustrations

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: with Darnold? Because I heard one out of college he

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: was under coached at USC, which has been in sort

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: of this malaise for years, that he wasn't great on

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: the white board in the draft rooms. Initially that's why

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Baker got drafted, that he'd just been under coached, and

67
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Baker had Lincoln Riley, who's brilliant. When did you start,

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, because people talk and chirp, and Gas wants

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: to protect his legacy and his job, when did you

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: start hearing some maybe misgivings or doubts about Darnald a

71
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: little bit in Gasee's first year, I thought, you know,

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: the Ghost game was kind of a pivotal moment. Everyone

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: remembers that game. Right the week before Sam had come

74
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: back from Mano. They beat the Cowboys and Sam throws

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: a ninetyr touchdown to Robbie Anderson and they stunned the Cowboys. Right,

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: this is Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, so everything is

77
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: riding high, and then they have Monday Night against New

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: England and he can't do anything. He looked lost out there,

79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: and he says he gets called on camera, I'm seeing ghosts,

80
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: And I thought that kind of explained it. Sam. Someone

81
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: said this to me a while ago, and I think

82
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: it's right there. Sam is more Brett Farve than he

83
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: is Peyton Manning. He's not a guy who's going to

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: be reading the defense and picking everything apart. He can

85
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: run around and make plays. You know, he's not far

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't have five's skill level, he doesn't have five's arm.

87
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: But that's what he's good at. He's gonna just run

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: around and making things happen. Schoolyard ball, he's not good

89
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: and like read one, to read two, read three, to

90
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: read four, he's not good at that. And so that's

91
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: what you know, the Jets thought bringing in the Shanahan

92
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: system with Michael or that might help Sam if they

93
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: kept them. And we'll see if Joe Brady can do

94
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: that with him, you know. I just like in Gae's

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Gaze's system is complicated. It's the paid manning system from

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: denver So and Adam did not want to dumb it

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: down that much, so to speak. So I think it

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: just didn't wasn't a good mix there, you know, I've

99
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: heard the same things that that's exactly what I've heard

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: is that Sam is best being intuitive and just making plays.

101
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, that was so popular in the seventies, eighties, nineties,

102
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: it's less popular now. The big ben the kind of

103
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: remedial audible system, make it up as you go. It

104
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: just doesn't play. It's more of an Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,

105
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, own the line of scrimmage pre snap, Drew

106
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: Brees League. You know, Brian, You've talked about this in

107
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: your stories with a post and I'm sure you have

108
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: in the fan that it wasn't a given maybe six

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago to move off Darnold, that Sala liked him.

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: What I mean, did it come down to, essentially Zach

111
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: Wilson gives us four straight years of a rookie contract.

112
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: I think that was a big part of it, you know,

113
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I think it was just the timing was off with

114
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Sam Colin because I was, like I've said to people,

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who said, oh, they kept Sam.

116
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Jets fans trade the number two pick,

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: get a million picks and build around him. So I'm like,

118
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: all right, let's play this out, what's the best case

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: scenario for the twenty and twenty one Jets? Right they

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: still have holes? Who were their starting cornerbacks? You don't

121
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: You probably don't know who their starting cornerbacks are right

122
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: right now it's Bryce Hall and Bless Austin. They do work.

123
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: They don't have a running back. You know, they signed

124
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. He's not a lead running back. They still

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: have questions at receiver. So play this out. Let's say

126
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: they keep Sam and he has, you know, a decent

127
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: year twenty touchdowns, eight interceptions, and the Jets win six

128
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: or seven games, because that's about the ceiling for this

129
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: team right now. Then what do you do, Colin? Do

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: you give him a contract extension off that year? Like,

131
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't pay someone off of that year.

132
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough. So that's to me and Joe

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Douglas's mind, it's like, you know, it's just not enough

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: time to evaluate him in a year. He's not gonna

135
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: show you enough where you're gonna give him his long

136
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: contract extension. You can start over with Zach Wilson and

137
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: start over with the rookie contract. And I think they

138
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: really liked Wilson. They fell in love with him watching

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: the film, and then they kind of they finally got

140
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: to see him on that pro day, and he basically

141
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: answered all the questions on that pro day, reaffirmed what

142
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: they saw on tape. And that's when they said, all right, Carolina,

143
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: let's go, let's talk mcagnet. And I felt was lost.

144
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: I really did. There were moves he made were my

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: sources I had. I had two general managers in the

146
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: NFL his final draft with the Jets literally say they

147
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: thought it was one of the worst drafts they'd ever

148
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: seen a GM have. Joe Douglas, I thought it pretty promising.

149
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: My guys liked him. I've met Joe. I thought he

150
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: had a pretty clever draft. By the way, Bryce Hall

151
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: that corner started seven games last year. He was a

152
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: great college player. Then I think he broke his leg.

153
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: He got hurt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, injury. Yeah. He may

154
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: end up being a real fine for the Jets. They

155
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: also got a safety out of Cal Davis and he

156
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: can really run incredible range, so you know, you know,

157
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: they had to pick a backup quarterback upon her. But overall,

158
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was a it was a smart draft.

159
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: I think Zach Wilson's greatest gift is a competent GM.

160
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: But I don't know about Robert Sala And I said

161
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: this Brian this week on the show. He's not going

162
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: to be Belichick. You're the luckiest team in the world.

163
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: If he's Sean McDermott and Brian Flores just won ten

164
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: games with Tooa and Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's likely even if

165
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: he's not a disaster, he's the fourth best coach in

166
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: his division. Am I hyperbolic? There? Does that feel right? No?

167
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: I think you're fair. I think you're being fair. And

168
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of faith in Robert sala

169
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: from this fan base because he's not Adam Gaze. You know,

170
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: they wanted anybody, and you know and Salah has you know,

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: he's a it runs the steps before the game, got

172
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: the bald head. He jumps around on the sideline, a

173
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: lot of energy. I understand why fans like him and

174
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: then enthused by him. But you don't know. You never

175
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: know what these guys when they go from assistant coach

176
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: to head coach. You never know how it's going to

177
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: work out. Like you know, Todd Bowles, I covered here

178
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was the Assistant Coach of the Year in

179
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: Arizona covers of the Jets. Goes wins ten games his

180
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: first year, then things fell apart, and now Todd Bowles

181
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: is you get to win the Super Bowl, you know.

182
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: So you just don't know how it's going to work

183
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: out with these guys. There's so many different factors that

184
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: go into it. But yeah, the division is daunting right now.

185
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean because Buffalo looks like they're gonna be good

186
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: for a long, long time, long time. Miami's gonna go

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: as two agoes right now. We'll see how he is.

188
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: And then you know, Belichick just spent one hundred and

189
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars or whatever it was or more than that.

190
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: I think it was more than one hundred and fifty

191
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: million dollars, you know, so he's going forward. He's clearly motivated.

192
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's definitely a big upl climb right

193
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: now for the Jets. Brian. You know, it's funny in

194
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles right now, all teams are winning. I mean,

195
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: USC is underachieving, and they're you know, they're they're going

196
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: to good Bowl games. The Lakers want a title, The

197
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers want a title. LAFC is good, The Clippers are good.

198
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: Um you know, Angels or Orange County. But in La

199
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: County the Rams are good. The Chargers, I think they'll

200
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: have a bounce back here. They got a really good

201
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: front office in New York. Now outside of Brooklyn, it's

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a mess. The Yankees are promising,

203
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of finger crossing with

204
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the Mets. How much because the Mara family was always respected,

205
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: very blue blood and everybody has a right to butcher

206
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: a coaching hire. Macado didn't work. I get it. Pat Shermer,

207
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Robert Kraft hired Pete Carroll. It doesn't

208
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: know's work right With the Jets. I always have this feeling,

209
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: the malaise. It's it's not nixt level, but there is

210
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: something about the Jets ownership group that's not right to me.

211
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: And I'm an outsider, you're an insider. My instincts are

212
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: either medals too much, it's disconnected, it's cheap. What is it?

213
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't feel right. Yeah, at times it was meddling.

214
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: It hasn't been in a while, but you know, go

215
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight when they Eric Mangini here,

216
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: they go to him. Eric Mangini did not want Brett Farve.

217
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: Eric Mangini preached team, team, team, and he said, the ownership,

218
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: he said, if you bring this guy in, you know,

219
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: it's the old fifty two plus one sort of deal,

220
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Like Brett Farve is gonna be bigger than a team, right,

221
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: And so they said, all right, well we're gonna do this.

222
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: You're safe no matter what happens, you don't lose your job.

223
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: They fired him at the NCA here they wanted Tim Tebow.

224
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: They brought Tim Tebow here. So they meddled in some

225
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: way in that they haven't in a while been meddling.

226
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: They listen to the wrong people sometimes, Colin. That's been

227
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. I don't think they have this arrogance

228
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: about them that they know more than they think, they

229
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: know more than they do, but they listen to the

230
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: wrong people. They listen to Charlie Cashiley in twenty fifteen.

231
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, when when they get clear, Cashley was going

232
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: to do that that search for them. I talked to

233
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: someone in the league and I said, you know who's

234
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: he gonna hire? And they said, Mike mccagnet And I said,

235
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: who and they're like, that's his right hand man. And

236
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: I had never heard of mccagnet before, and so like

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people hadn't. But they casually hired his friends.

238
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, he hired his friends. So they listened to

239
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: the wrong guy there. They listen to Jed Hughes back

240
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: when they hired John Enzi is GM. They've listened to

241
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: the wrong people at different times, and now they're listening

242
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: to Joe Douglas. Joe Douglas is now the voice. He's

243
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: the one making the decisions. He hired Robert Sala. He's

244
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: making this quarterback decision. We'll see. I think, you know,

245
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: I trust Joe Douglass more than some of these other guys.

246
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: I talked to Joe a lot. He's got a plan,

247
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: he's smart. But you know that's part ownership. Has just

248
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: listened to the wrong people a lot of times. You

249
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: know those hot takes you post on social media, Well

250
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,480

Speaker 1: restrictions apply seefanduel dot com for terms and conditions. Listen

269
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: they solve some of their wide receiver is shoes with

270
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. I would not have spent that kind of

271
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: money on Corey Davis. I think he's the classic high

272
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: ceiling never realizes it um by. I also wouldn't have

273
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: spent money like the Giants did on a Door, Jackson,

274
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay I sort of got, but Kenny has never

275
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: really been a one in a great system, So there's

276
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: questions there. And free agency never free agency should augment

277
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: not solve major issues. Unfortunately, when you when you have

278
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: a former awful GM, you have to like solve problems.

279
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: But I do think they're at least capable with Mims,

280
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, they're capable. They're tight ends, never

281
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: feel like they're healthy. My guess is they get Zach

282
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Wilson at two. UM, you know you could go with

283
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: the running back from Clemson. UM, it's a very rich

284
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: offensive line draft. Do you do you sense them trading up?

285
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Do you sense them what is their second pick and

286
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: third pick? In your opinion, where do they go? I

287
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: think they're an good spot Colin. There are twenty three,

288
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: that's the pick of the Seahawks, and then they have

289
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: thirty four, which is the second pick in the first

290
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and second pick in the second round. Those are spots

291
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: that people like to trade into. Right. We always see

292
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: like twenty three starts to be where, like you know,

293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: there's there's guys there that people might want to move

294
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: up for. And I can see them trading back from there,

295
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: and they have so many needs. They have all the

296
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: ones you mentioned, plus corner. They need linebackers because they're

297
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: going to four to three and they haven't played four

298
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: to three in years. They need linebackers, guards, you know

299
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned receiver, running back. So there's so many holes.

300
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: They can move back some spots and still fill one

301
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: of those holes. Same thing with thirty four. How often

302
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: do we see colin the Friday of the draft? All

303
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: day they talk about, you know you're gonna see all

304
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: the guy all the NFL. Inside, there's teams are trying

305
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: to move up, Teams are trying to get up in

306
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: the second round. The Jets have the second pick in

307
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: the second round. They can move back if they want

308
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: to there, So I think Douglas might acquire more picks.

309
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: He's got ten, he could end up with more, and

310
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: then I think he's gonna maneve around and move up

311
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: when you know he can strike. I feel he thinks

312
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: he has ammunition to move around. To me, cornerback is

313
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: the biggest need on this team right now after quarterback,

314
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: because I agree with you on Bryce Hall. He showed

315
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: some promising things, but he's one year in seven games.

316
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Bless Austin's played two years. You know, they got a

317
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: defensive head coach right now, he's gonna want to put

318
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: it in a system. They got to give him a cornerback.

319
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking there might be the kids from Northwestern

320
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Newsom might be there at Sante. Samuel Junior might be

321
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: in that second round area. So you know, I'm thinking

322
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: cornerback right now. But they could go in a number

323
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: of different directions. The USC guard if he fell down

324
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: to twenty three, he might go higher than that. You know,

325
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm stinger familiar with him out there. Why you know,

326
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Whyatt Davis? Whyatt Davis? Yeah, he's probably the second or

327
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: third best interior lineman. He would be available, I think

328
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: at thirty four. Yeah, I can see them going like

329
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: Samuel Late first, Wyatt Davis and then they have two thirds, right, yes,

330
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: they have two there safe seattles, and so I think

331
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: running back is probably third round. I don't I'd be

332
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: surprised if Joe Douglas took a running back in the

333
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: first round. I think he thinks, you know, like a

334
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys now you can find them. Um, so

335
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, if he if he grabs one in the

336
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: third round. That wouldn't shock me. What is what is?

337
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: You know? It's it's so funny covering. I was in

338
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: New England for about ten eleven years. I always felt

339
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: Boston media loved everybody initially and hated everybody by the end,

340
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: and it was just part of their insecurity that if

341
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: you ever left them, they turned on you. New York

342
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: is a more secure, powerful, better tradition. New York's different.

343
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: New York's tough on everybody initially, but once you win

344
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 1: them over. They got Joe Torre's back for life and

345
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Parcels back for life. They won't screw you out the

346
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: door because you're you made it in New York and

347
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: you're part of the family. Um, right now with the Jets,

348
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: if I said to you most popular Jet, who who

349
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: the top right now? Is safe? Is it Joe Douglas? Yes? Yeah,

350
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: from from that perspective, yet, I think Joe Douglas is

351
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: still very popular. Look, he's only had one draft. Um

352
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, he drafted McKay Beckton, Who's another guy who's

353
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: very popular right now, and he that looks like a

354
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: good pick. And I think I think, like you said,

355
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: some of those other picks are gonna work out. So yeah,

356
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Douglas I think would be popular Salas. You know, sala

357
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: continue no wrong right now, he hasn't lost a game yet,

358
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: so we'll see how it goes. But Salos again, I

359
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: think he's very popular right now. And in terms of players,

360
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: it's really Beckton and Quinnon. Williams is popular, um, you know,

361
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: and then and you know, I'm sure Zach Wilson's gonna

362
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: be very popular here in a few weeks. Is the

363
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: is you know, it's you know, people always say, oh,

364
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: the New York media is so tough, and what I

365
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: found as a West Coast guy is that, um, it's

366
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: tough on bad It was tough on the Mets, it

367
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: was tough on the Jets, but it was actually pretty

368
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: favorable to the Giants and Yankees. If you win, you

369
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: get pretty soft coverage. If you'll lose, it's rough. And

370
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: the front offices, you know, of the bad teams, they

371
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: hear about you know, your your talk radio, your columnists,

372
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: and they get very reactionary. I remember the Mets once

373
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: signing I think it was Jason Bay in City Field,

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: a very spacious outfield, and it was just a horrific

375
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not a guy that's a diehard baseball guy.

376
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, this is an incredibly spacious outfield. He's

377
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: like a lumberjack. This is a horrible acquisition. But the

378
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: New York media was crushing the Mets to do something because,

379
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: if I recall, the Yankees had gone out and spent

380
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: some money. Overall. How are the Jets viewed and treated

381
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: in your eyes by the city's media. I think rough.

382
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: I think it's it's been rough because they've lost for

383
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: the last ten years. You know, they haven't made the

384
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: playoffs now since twenty and ten, and they've had a

385
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: lot of called Jetsy type stories. Gino Smith gets punched

386
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: in the face, Sam Darneld gets mononucleosis. They bring in

387
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: Tebow and you know they don't use them. You know,

388
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of crazy stories. Colin, I mean

389
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: the Gays press conference, there's just just they there was

390
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: a plane flying over practice that said fire John Issick.

391
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: So it's there's a lot, you know, there's been a lot.

392
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't I don't think it's been unfair.

393
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: I think, um, I think they get criticized and you

394
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: know the thing about New York media, and I like

395
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: asking guys who've been in other markets, and there's just

396
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: more of us. It's just a little bit louder here

397
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: than other places because there's more of us, and the

398
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: back page is sort of a different animal. You don't

399
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: have that in every town. You know, the back page

400
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: can be rough on guys. Page six doesn't exist everywhere.

401
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Like I'm the Jets beat writer, right, Colin, You know

402
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: how many conversations I've had to have with quarterbacks about

403
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: them appearing on page six and explain to them, yes,

404
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: that's the New York Post, but that's not me. I

405
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: like Mark Sanchez, We had a picture of him on

406
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: the front page eating breakfast with Ava Longoria. That doesn't

407
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: happen in Green Bay, Colin, Right, And so I had

408
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: to go face Mark the next day and be like, sorry,

409
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, And you know, Sam Dorn rented a limousine

410
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: and brought up had a big party after one game

411
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: and it was in page six, and I said, Sam, sorry,

412
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, so that kind of stuff doesn't happen another where.

413
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, I think Chicago, South Florida.

414
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: I think there's you know, there's markets where they people

415
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: get covered just as tough as here, but it's just

416
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: a lot more here, all right. I see you have

417
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: your San Diego hoodie on. Yeah, great Town. You don't

418
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: win there, apparently. Yes. I went on vacation a couple

419
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: of years ago with my family to cal to southern California.

420
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: We went to San Diego and I missed the Chargers

421
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: being there, obviously, Jets trips to San Diego, some memorable trips.

422
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Great Town by the way, Sanchez, San Diego that I

423
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: remember that playoff game well as I'm sure you do.

424
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, it feels like a long time ago.

425
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: Those things are long gone now, Brian, Great, I appreciate

426
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: your stuff. Buy on the podcast. Thanks for having me, Colin,

427
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: thank you so much. From this point forward, we're going

428
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: to do something on Friday is called Fake Questions Real Answers,

429
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: because I was thinking of doing a mailbag section on

430
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: this podcast, but then I realized I'd have to rely

431
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: on everybody out there to send me questions that I

432
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: actually gave a shit about, and the truth is mostly

433
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't, So I thought, why don't I just write

434
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: the questions myself? So that leads me to a new segment.

435
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: It's called Fake Questions and Real answers. Dear colin first letter,

436
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: are you aware that Baker Mayfield one eleven and five

437
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: last year with the Browns and one a playoff game?

438
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: When are you going to admit you're totally wrong about him?

439
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: Signed Baker M from Cleveland. Thanks Baker, I'm actually totally

440
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: right about him. Baker Mayfield with the number one rated

441
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: offensive line according to PFF, the number one rated running

442
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: back ten, the top tight end tandem, and Jarvis Landry

443
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: and OBJ had a passer rating. It was fifteenth and

444
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: eighteenth in passing yards. Justin Herbert, in his first year

445
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: with the lowest rated offensive line and a coach that

446
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: got fired, was sixth in passing yards and tenth in

447
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: passer rating. Translation, one is a top ten pick. One

448
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: is being protected and elevated because he's on a rookie

449
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: salary deal. Jared Goffe got to a super Bowl on

450
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: a rookie salary deal. Mahomes got to two. Baker is

451
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: case Keenum with a better arm. He's got a very

452
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: competent coach, the best offensive line in football, the best

453
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: running back tandem. He won a playoff game. That's the

454
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: minimum you have to do on a rookie deal. There's

455
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: a reason that Cleveland appears to be using a different

456
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: bank because they're not paying their quarterback anything. I got

457
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: nothing against Baker. I just think he's mostly average. What

458
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: happens when you pay him and his offensive line is

459
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: thirteenth and he only has one decent running back. It's

460
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: not a playoff team. Next letter, Dear column, why don't

461
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: you talk more hockey? It's not only one of the

462
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: big four sports. Everybody I know it talks about it constantly.

463
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: Signed Pierre from the middle of Saskatchewan. First of all,

464
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: it's not a big four sport. NFL is won baseball

465
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: or college football or two or three, NBA four, the

466
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, five, UFC slash boxing six, Tiger winning a

467
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: major seven. It's nothing against hockey. I watch playoff hockey,

468
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: but what I watch appeals to me. What I put

469
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: on my show has to appeal to you. Hockey none

470
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: of us, almost none of us played at his kids.

471
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: And if you didn't play at his kids, you don't

472
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: know the rules. And unless you're north of Buffalo, people

473
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: in the States have too many options. Just think about this.

474
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: In Canada, they don't even have our college system. Listen

475
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: to TSN or watch it. Ninety percent of the discussions

476
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: on their sports radio are hockey. People think I talk

477
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: a lot of Lebron Last year he was six percent

478
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: of my show. Sixty eight percent was NFL, twelve percent

479
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: was college football. There were fights, there was the draft,

480
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: there's baseball playoffs. We have so many things to talk

481
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: about that hockey simply gets squeezed out. Thank you, Pierre.

482
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: Next letter, Dear Colinn, why don't you respond to your

483
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: critics on Twitter? Signed Cowherd Hayter three six nine four

484
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: eight three two no followers. By the way, I have

485
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: a theory on this. You can't monetize playing defense. I

486
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: can build companies. I can make money playing offense. Ben

487
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Wallace played defense. Steph Curry plays offense. Same in the NBA.

488
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: You're not paying money for your best defensive players. Steph

489
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: Curry does not lose sleep missing eleven shots on the

490
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. What he does is work on hitting thirteen

491
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: more on Thursday. I'm in a creative business. I can't

492
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: waste a second defending myself. My job is to talk

493
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: and give you content Facebook, Twitter, FS one, the volume

494
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: iHeart Sunday on Fox. There's no value in playing defense.

495
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: You get into arguments with people who don't have your back.

496
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Dear Colin, you are so woke. Don't you think the

497
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: NBA went too far with Black Lives Matter and that's

498
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: the reason the ratings are way down? Signed T Bone

499
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. Yes, conservatives all think that. I don't doubt

500
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: that aggressively pushing Black Lives Matter, which too many is

501
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: viewed as politics, did hurt the ratings. But let me

502
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: ask you, why are the hockey ratings worse than the NBA's.

503
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: Maybe BLM wasn't the only reason. First of all, any

504
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: sport with all their games on cable, NBA, NHL, their

505
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: games on cable, chord cutting, cable's dying, they're going down.

506
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: But I think there's a variety of reasons. Let's not

507
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: be simplistic here. When there's problems at Amazon or problems

508
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: at Apple or Google, it's not one employer one reason.

509
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: If your marriage is struggling, it's not just because you

510
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: had an argument. There's resentment, there's problems. There's a lot

511
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: of NBA issues. The league's now exclusively on cable. Secondarily,

512
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 1: the bottom of the NBA is now so bad and

513
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: with players over the last five years, Stars joining forces

514
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: the top five or six teams Brooklyn Lakers. Those teams

515
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: can beat the bottom seven, eight nine teams without Lebron

516
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: and Ad playing. The bottom of the NBA is so

517
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: god awful that the top stars don't need to play

518
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: in the regular season. The Brooklyn Nets went nineteen and

519
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: four without KD. What does that mean? KD, Ad Lebron,

520
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Kyrie Harden? Why play every regular season game? Just rest

521
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. That's where the money's made and the

522
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: legacies are formed. Why would you rush back if you're

523
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: KD and if you don't care and have urgency for

524
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: the regular season as an NBA star, why would I

525
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: as a consumer? In the NFL, the gap between the

526
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: best and worst teams is slim. I mean, hell, the

527
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Jags beat the Colts, the Raiders beat the Chiefs, the

528
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Jets beat the Rams. You have to play, you have

529
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: to play hurt, but in the NBA you don't, and

530
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: your legacy since Michael Jordan went six for six in

531
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: the finals, are formed by how you perform in the playoffs.

532
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: Why would James Harden play every game? He looks gassed

533
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, so my hamstring hurts and just the

534
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: time Kady comes back, he takes a three week break

535
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: resting for the postseason. I think that's as big a

536
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: reason as any. The NBA ratings are down, all Right,

537
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: everybody fake questions, real answers on a Friday Plus Brian Costello.

538
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Good stuff on Sam Darnold. I love that story about

539
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: he's more Brett Farve than he is Peyton Manning. That's interesting.

540
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: I like the way he articulated that. All right, you

541
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: want to follow us at the Volume Sports on Twitter

00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,960
