Kevin Costner has a hose. 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Just a great well, thank you, Yes, of course I 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: couldn't pass on the opportunity to ask him, not unlike 42 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: he asks his fictionalized father at the end of Field 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: of Dreams, you want to have a catch? I'm sitting 44 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: out there on the stage with Costner. What else am 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: I going to ask him? I'll kick myself for the 46 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: rest of my days if I don't propose a catch 47 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: this time with a football. He graciously said, yes, we 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: threw it around and I don't know if it was 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: surprised or what, but yeah, it turns out he can 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: really sling that thing. He can spin it. He has 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: a hose. He's a pretty good athlete for an actor, 52 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: he is. Is he the in fact, is he the 53 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: most of any actor in history? This sounds like hyperbole, 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: but then really think about it. Is he the greatest 55 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: actor in sports movies ever? Well, he has to have 56 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: played the most characters, right, you would think. I think 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: this this latest picture Draft Day, where he's the Browns 58 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: GM is his six sports movie as Yeah, and as 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: you could see, it's the It's the great giveaway a 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: lot of Villa magnifico when an actor tries to throw 61 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: the ball and having a catch. West La Ravil mcnifico 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: is the great reveal, that is something that is unspoken 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: but seen, and then you just followed away forever and 64 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: you always know my mom, Tom Cruise, uh having a catch? 65 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: Um in what was that alien movie? He was Are 66 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: you talking Parisian? Wait? Wait a second. You know if 67 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: you're a hillbilly you wouldn't know Parisian? Yeah, never mind, 68 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: scratch war the world's Tom Cruise, I mean catch with 69 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 1: his son embarrassing. It was very embarrassing. Um, you could 70 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: you probably have one day? Well, yeah, I mean I 71 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: I By the way, I think it's funny that Tom 72 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Cruise finds a way to work in him running full 73 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: speed in every movie he's ever made. It's insane. It's not. 74 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: It's really on part with John Travolta wedging in an 75 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to dance in every movie. Travolta a better answer 76 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: than Cruzies runner, right. But to get back to yes, 77 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: to get back to my point, that costner you could 78 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: tell knows how to throw and if you not a 79 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: not a great movie. It gets the babe to me 80 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: a little too much. We were talking about movies last week, 81 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about it again. Is the uh for the 82 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: love of the game. I believe the Baseball Vehicle where 83 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: he throws the perfect game at the end of his career. 84 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, Um, you could tell when he's pitching. You've 85 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: never really seen a movie where an actor actually looked 86 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: like a pitcher. So he's the real deal in that aspect. Yeah, 87 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I agree that he. Um, he put successfully pulls off 88 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: being a ballplayer. I think that Paul Newman doesn't get 89 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Paul Newman, Robert Redford doesn't get enough credit 90 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: for how good he looked throughout the natural I mean, 91 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: there's nowhere to hide when you're playing that role up there, 92 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: swinging the lumber and out in the right field and pitching. Yeah, 93 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: he he was good at it. Um. One of the 94 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: least believable quarterbacks in uh in football movie history. Mac 95 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Davis North Dallas forty for a movie so so praised. 96 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: Mac Davis is the starting quarterback in the NFL team. 97 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: Please it's a or is Dallas North forty from Dallas. 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: I haven't seen all of these old time pictures. I 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: need see. Also, right Moves. Here's an interesting bit of trivia, 100 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: although I don't know the guy's name in all the 101 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: right Moves. The high school steel Town picture starring the 102 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: aforementioned Tom Cruise. Of course he runs yeah with Craig T. 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: Nelson is the mean coach who hits teenage boys with 104 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: a nine iron if they don't do as as he wishes, 105 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: which really is a insane in hindsight. He hits the 106 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: kids with a nine iron. That's far for the course 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: in the fifties. Yeah, of course I like what you 108 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: did there, But the picture set in the early eighties, 109 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: so your your point holds no water, but or is mood? 110 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: But to listen. He the guy who is the quarterback 111 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: of that high school team and pipe is his nickname 112 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: is Rifleman, and he throws a glorious ball. He cuts 113 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: a great figure of a big guy who can really 114 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: whip it. And it turns out he played the real 115 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: guy play was the quarterback for your New York Jets, 116 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: Dan hand Zoo's in the seven Strike. He was one 117 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: of the uh he was a scab. You know the 118 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: sport that's the easiest tell on an actor. Basketball. How 119 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: many times do you watch some goon trying to dribble 120 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: a basketball? Michael J. Fox. It's terrible and you just 121 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: want to shout at these Hollywood people. You Pep. You 122 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: have no idea what it is to be an athlete. 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: How could you cast this guy who can't even dribble? 124 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: Of the cutaways, the the the shodily executed edit of 125 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: of uh teen Wolf is the stuff of legend. In 126 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: my book, Michael J. Fox goes up for a layup. 127 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: You see the ball leave his hand and then they 128 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: cut away to the rim, but it takes like another 129 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: three seconds for it to actually hit the backboard and 130 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: then bounce in and it's the same one. They just 131 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: sloop it like I only we only made one. We 132 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: only have the ball going through the hoop three times total, 133 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: so we just how to use those three shots all 134 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: the way through. I thought you were talking about the 135 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: guy with his pants down at the end of the movie. Well, 136 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: that's a great bizarre continuity. I sat down and UH 137 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: looked at what teen Wolf stat line would be for 138 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: the championship game. I actually did the numbers on it. 139 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: It's an impressive game. I don't think he tripled doubles, 140 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: but he didn't mess around. He definitely goes double double. 141 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he if he gets enough rebounds 142 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: for the triple double. The gold standard behind the glass 143 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: how are you, buddy, doing great? Thanks. It's a little 144 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: a little weird, but they've here because he calls you 145 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: by the name that you aren't really uh gold tie 146 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: or whatever. That doesn't even like bringing it up, but 147 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: I'm dealing with it. I'm sort of like the dog 148 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: who responds to you, buddy, dog dog's name. It's fine, Hey, 149 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: this is your house. I'll play by your rules. Gold standard. 150 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: It is good man, Dave. Alright, so gold standard. How 151 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: about we do some news. Let's do it all right, 152 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: Let's start in Philadelphia. There's a couple of things going 153 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: on in Philly right now, and we'll start with the 154 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson. Howie Roseman, the Eagles general manager, is in 155 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: Orlando at the owners meetings, as you can uh safely assume, 156 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: and he was asked about Jackson's status, whether he'll be traded. Uh, 157 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: here's the quote that Roseman said, He's still under contract 158 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: for us, and until there's anything to report on our players, 159 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: that's where we are now. And I will say to you, gentlemen. 160 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: Reporters asked him a bunch of other questions about the 161 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: Eagles roster, and he seemed very open to answering them, 162 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: but was tight lipped about anything Jackson related, which to 163 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: me kind of spoke volumes that there was no you know, 164 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: he's on our team. We love this guy. That doesn't 165 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: seem like this guy's in the future, and this doesn't 166 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: change how we should feel. Right translation, he's still on 167 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: my roster. Come off from me, a draft pick for him. 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you, I'm not going to release him. 169 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: That's what he's trying to do. I feel like, I mean, 170 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm really surprised. Is it Is it that difficult? 171 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: Is he that difficult in the locker room and otherwise 172 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: ice that they can just cut bait with him? I understand. 173 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people are playing this game 174 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: of uh. You know, the Panthers are in dire straits 175 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: because they don't have a wide receiver. But of course, 176 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: by the end of the first round they presumably in 177 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: first round of the draft, they presumably will have addressed 178 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: that with Marquis Lee or Mike Gavins if they're lucky 179 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: enough for uh, you know, any number of other uh 180 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: good wide receivers out there in the draft. Um. But 181 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: that said, the Eagles, Jeremy Macklin and Riley Cooper that 182 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: they're cool with that going I mean going forward is 183 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: their top two. I think you mentioned the draft again 184 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: and they know they have a deep draft, and I 185 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: think this is what and my team, the Jets, is 186 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: where they need to be careful here is that the 187 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson had a great year last year. He proved 188 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: beyond any doubt that he's a nice fit in what 189 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly does, and yet they're still itching to get 190 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 1: rid of them, to the point where they might just 191 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: dump him for nothing. So what is it about this 192 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: guy behind the scenes that we don't know? And the 193 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: Jets finally got rid of a headache in Santonio Holmes 194 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: de Sean Jackson could be homes two point Oh. That 195 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: scares me because I think and we heard Woody Johnson 196 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: risked maybe a tampering charge on Sunday in Orlando by 197 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: acknowledging yes, we're interested into Sean Jackson, which is a 198 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: no no according to the league's by laws. Uh, it 199 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: sounds like they're gonna make a play for him once 200 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: he's released, if that happens, And just something to be 201 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: careful about, because yeah, this is this is a great player, 202 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: but there's something else to him that that's rubbing the 203 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: Eagles the wrong way. You know who else had a 204 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: great year in chip Kelly's offense? Every other player in 205 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: chip Kelly's offense, Yeah, I I get you. And Shady 206 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: McCoy was gang busters and Darren Sprawls Is Foles had 207 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: the best TDD interception ratio in years, Riley Cooper breakout year. 208 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: I think they figured Macklin can come play Jackson's rule 209 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: and and they won't miss anything. Well but but but 210 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: the hands uses point. I you know, de Sean Jackson. 211 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: You know you've heard that stuff about him, that he's 212 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: he's difficult. I mean anecdotally and it means absolutely nothing. 213 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: But I have met him and hung out with him 214 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: for forty five minutes or an hour, and he seemed 215 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: like a delightful young fella. But but apparently, I mean, 216 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: what could he do that is so vile that that 217 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: that they want to purge him from the roster. Jerryman Macklin. 218 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: Let's keep in mind, it's coming back from a knee injury. 219 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: You know. I think it was right after the season, 220 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: a year and a half after he signs a lucrative 221 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: contract that you could say he didn't earn because he 222 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: was coming off a bad season. They come out, they 223 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: go out on a limb and give him this money. 224 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: And after the season he asked for more. He's already 225 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: the seventh highest paid wide receiver in the NFL and 226 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: he says, yeah, I need more money. Well, fellas caveat 227 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: a caveat emptor with the de Sean Jackson. I mean, 228 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: he's he certainly for there. There's a certain perception of him, 229 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: but the numbers don't really equal that, uh don't don't 230 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: equal the reality of him minus last year is that 231 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: he's a good receiver, but he's he's certainly not some 232 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: unstoppable force Sunday to Sunday. Um. I you know, I'd 233 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: be concerned about bringing him into a lot of different systems. 234 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: That being said, if he goes to a team like 235 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: the forty Niners, egad they need to pick up the 236 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: slack offensively for their defensive deficiencies. I I see coming 237 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: up there, guy like that would be uh boy, the 238 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: arms war between them and the Seahawks would really heat 239 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: up even further. And in other Eagles news, that Michael 240 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: Vick obviously signed with the Jets on Friday, and there 241 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: is a report that the Eagles are very interested in 242 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: now signing Mark Sanchez to add to their mix. Uh yes, 243 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 1: what to do Mark Sanchez things? Uh. ESPN had that 244 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: the deal was essentially done. Ian Rappaport reported on Monday 245 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: that they're going to be taking a hard look at 246 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: Sanchez and his medicals, but he is among the landings abouts. 247 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: The Giants also a potential fit. According to Ian, any 248 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: team without an obvious backup, Ian said is basically in 249 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: on him. Eagles are interesting because to me, it says 250 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: two things. Chip Kelly believes in a two quarterback system. 251 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: He thinks you have to have two guys with starting 252 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: experience and who can start without messing your old team up. 253 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: That means he doesn't really think Matt Barkley is one 254 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: of those guys. Well, that's what my question is. I mean, 255 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: are they that that indicates that they're ready to cut 256 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: bait already with Matt Barkley, which is, you know four 257 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: that he's their developmental guy, not their guy who can 258 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: come in when fools goes down. Who does that though 259 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: no one does that. Teen carries a third string QB 260 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: with the you know, I know he's a third round 261 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: pick and the Steers isn't heavy with him. But yeah, well, 262 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: Landry Jones, I don't expect Landry Jones to be around 263 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: for very long. He and Barkley were both fourth round picks. Right, 264 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: fourth round pick? Yeah a Mark Sanchez Matt Barkley backup 265 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: quarterback showdown on tap? Yeah? How is it possible that 266 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: USC the greatest quarterback in the history of that school 267 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: at one of the more success full college programs ever 268 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: is Carson Palmer And it's not close. He's easily their 269 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: most successful NFL quarterback. Dave, we don't talk about college 270 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: around these parts. Oh, I'm sorry, Moving on regime before 271 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: what it surprised you? If Sanchez played great for chip Kelly, 272 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: that would be I was actually thinking about that. Um 273 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: if the only thing the Jets kind of did him 274 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: wrong by waiting so long to dump him. The only 275 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: positive that could come out of this if he landed 276 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: with Philly is he actually gets to join a team 277 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: with a real offense and a real offensive mind. Uh 278 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: that's said. I think we saw enough from such as 279 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: to to see that he's pretty limited, and it would 280 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: be the ultimate vouch vouching for Chip Kelly as a genius. 281 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: If Mark Sanchez came in for an injured Nick Foles 282 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: and and lad that team to glory or some type 283 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: of deep playoff run. I guess we'll never know. We 284 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: might find out. Reggie mackenzie said at the NFL Owners 285 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: meetings in Orlando that Terrell Prior has reached out about 286 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: actually being released by the Raiders are traded. He wants 287 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: out of Oakland. Of course, after Matt Shob signed a 288 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: deal with Or was traded to Oakland last week. I 289 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: guess you can't really fault the guy, especially after the 290 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: coach comes out and says Dennis Allen says on Friday, 291 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: we could see Shop as our quarterback for the next 292 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: three or four years. Um, can you blame Tarrell Prior 293 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: from what for wanting out of Oakland? Now? I can't 294 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: blame either side. I can't blame the Raiders because they 295 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: know more about football than us, and their football people 296 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: have determined Tarrell Prior is not a quarterback. According to them, 297 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: He's not any kind of solution. Can't blame Prior because 298 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: every defensive coordinator in the league would have rather played 299 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: against Matt Shop and Thrrell Prior on any Sunday. Well 300 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that's absolutely right. And the it's interesting 301 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: to me that Terrell Prior, even against as it was, 302 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: as it was quickly established, the one thing he's gonna 303 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: do is beat you with your legs, and teams still 304 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: couldn't stop them from doing it. It's a it's pretty 305 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: remarkable stuff, and you know, it's starting to get deep 306 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: far in the rear view mirror is the idea of 307 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: situationally throwing a different kind of quarterback on the field. 308 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: But I wonder if some teams should go back to 309 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: thinking that way Terrell Prior as a change of pace 310 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: would uh? I mean, you know, think about the teams 311 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: that have that locked in the pocket kind of guy. 312 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: What doesn't it sound intriguing in a vacuum If you're 313 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: the Giants, Hey, yeah, you can just swap him out 314 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: in in certain situations, take Elie out and throw a 315 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: guy like Prior in there. I mean that that that 316 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: curveball would be difficult to slow down. I mean, that's 317 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: also a situation where if you do that, Eli is 318 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna be pissed at you. True enough, true enough, But 319 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be a guy who's not established 320 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: as a franchise quarterback. The Cardinals. Maybe a team like 321 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: that would be interesting doing something like that. I'm on 322 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: board because I don't really have that much faith in 323 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: Course and Palmer. Yeah, well that's the yeah guy who's Yeah, 324 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: it's not exactly you know, uh, top tier QB. They're 325 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: almost like the Cardinals to me or the team that 326 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: if they have um upper quarterback play, they really could 327 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: contend in that conference. But are we Yeah, they're already 328 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: running a lot of running plays for EJ Manuel bringing thrill. 329 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: Prior they said that God transition West because Doug Marone 330 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: in Orlando said to said on Monday that the Bills 331 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: are quote all in with EJ. Manuel. Here's the quote 332 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: from Marone. We're secure with our quarterback position. Obviously, we're 333 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: all in with e J. And with that all e 334 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: J and that that's quite a statement. And Dennis Dixon 335 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: and Jeff toole Man, these are all guys that are 336 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: tied to this team. Sounds like a band eighties moan, 337 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: all in with e J and Fan. We're really excited 338 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: with what we bring to the table at that position. 339 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: I was he joking when he said this is you 340 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: can't really tell in tech it's excited. He said it yeah, 341 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: I remember when the Browns were excited for Brandon Weeden, 342 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: the Bills were excited for JP Lossman, the Bears were 343 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: excited for Rex Grossman. I am completely by the way, 344 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: sort of related. I am now off of this notion. 345 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that I ever fully bought it anyway 346 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: that you must have one of the six or eight 347 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl. Obviously you don't 348 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: be because if you look at the last three Super 349 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: Bowl champions, you wouldn't put Flacco Eli. Well by the 350 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: time they wanted the week after they wanted, people put 351 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Flacco up there in ELI. But now with a little 352 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: bit of a time and perspective, you would take those 353 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: guys out of that group now, and then you have 354 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who's certainly on the rise. It's it to 355 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: me what you want is it's much more important to 356 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: have the weapons around him, and everything points to them 357 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: taking maybe Mike Evans the Bills there. I mean, then 358 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: they have some some legit weapons out there. I mean, 359 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: unless EJ. Manuel is Mark Sanchez level putred, then I 360 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: don't know how he couldn't be successful. I will say 361 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: this in defensive EJ. Manuel, because I think a lot 362 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: of people eyebrows arch about the Bills even coming out 363 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: and saying that they're all in behind the guy. But 364 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: he suffered an injury that kind of completely doomed his 365 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: chance of progressing at any type of normal level. It's 366 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: already hard enough to be a rookie quarterback thrown into 367 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: the job immediately, and then to have him go down 368 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: with the injury. He was never quite right after that. 369 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: I think it was against the Browns that Thursday night 370 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: game when Hoyer also got hurt. Um also the game 371 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: Mark Sessler loves talking about. If Mark was here, he 372 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: would have jumped in their high point of the Cleveland 373 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: brown season that year when they went to three and two, 374 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: when we're in first place in the anf C North. 375 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: But I think Manuel deserves this whole year to get 376 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: a real good look. Give him a shot, because I 377 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: feel like he might be premature, prematurely written off by 378 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: some people. West Well, I think he didn't play well. 379 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: And this is gonna sound harsh, but teams that lose 380 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: make excuses like his knee injury. Teams they lose a lot, 381 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: do that. Teams they win a lot see their quarterback 382 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: play well. Well, I mean, the it's his The question 383 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: about him is his accuracy. But he's got the whip, 384 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: and he's got the he's a big bull ay and 385 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: he runs around grade. He's a he's sort of Ben 386 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger type. You know, he's got the same qualities and 387 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: the same potential strikes against him that you would put 388 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: against Roethlisberger. And uh yeah, certainly. I mean that's again, 389 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: if they get let's say they give him either you know, 390 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: Eric Ebron or or Mike Evans. I mean that the 391 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: the ad offense is now bona fide kind of loaded. 392 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: Then and then I guess you had to give him 393 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: another year because you spent a first round draft pick 394 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: on him. That only makes sense. But you know, you 395 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: could find out by November you just wasted Hi another 396 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: year or your franchise. Interesting news, also out of Detroit, 397 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: the Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said Monday in Orlando 398 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: that the Lions would not pick up the fifth year 399 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: option of defensive tackle Nick Fairley's contract. May Who when asked, 400 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, are you you know surprising, you came out 401 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: and told us that information said that that wasn't unintentional. 402 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: Then he had an interesting quote I have to ask myself, 403 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: is he a five and a half million our player 404 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: right now? So obviously Fairly has not lived up to 405 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: expectations and he now the gym has put it out there, 406 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: put up or so long? Do you want me to 407 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: translate this one for yes? Please do? It was put 408 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: the fork down, Susie. Is that Nick Fairley's nickname down 409 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: is over generous carriage? Yes? He uh he was clearly 410 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: overweight last year. Discipline is an issue, and this is 411 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: a kick in the pants. It's pretty public kick in 412 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 1: the pants, it is, and it's march. I mean, this 413 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: isn't like, let's wait till he gets the camp, see 414 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: how he shows up, TV's in shape. This is they're 415 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: putting him on notice well before the offseason. They want 416 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: to motivated Nick Fairly for two thousand fourteen, and they're 417 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: willing to have to over pay in two thousand fifteen 418 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: to get him back. Funny you called him Susie because 419 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: his friends sue uh In dominic In. That is is 420 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: the guy who, from the outside, a lot of people 421 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: would say, aren't the lines looking to purge him? He's 422 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: a headache, He's more trouble than he's worth. Clearly there 423 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: is no indication with as they are working on a 424 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: deal with Sue. He is a guy who they consider 425 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: a cornerstone. Fairly, people forget when he was coming out 426 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: of Auburn, there was there were plenty of doubters about 427 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: that guy. I think the public persona of and Dominican 428 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: Sue is more different than any other player over who 429 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: he actually is as a person. He's not a bad guy. 430 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: What about as a player, though, what's wrong with kicking 431 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: a guy? Well, he's I mean, players are taught to 432 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: play a little dirty the time. Looking we're we're sitting 433 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: here in Studio sixty six. Look at the pictures on 434 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: the walls. We have Jack Lambert behind us, Ray nich Key, 435 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: there's Deacon Jones. Uh. You know, these guys did all 436 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: right with a playing with a little edge, a guy 437 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: named me and Joe Green. You know they punched and 438 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: kicked and everything else. All we do is celebrate those guys. 439 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: But now suddenly that in Dominican Sue has a stink 440 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: on him. This young man needs to get get ahold 441 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: of himself or he's gonna or he's gonna kick himself 442 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: right out of the National Football League. What the other 443 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: guys went to the Hall of Fame. What am I 444 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: missing here? Listen to Dave paint the picture of the room. 445 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: You could almost hear the listeners feeling like they're in 446 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: here with us. The way he did it. That's your 447 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: professional dad, Thank you dan. Uh did I mention that 448 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: you have makeup on? Still? I should go over there 449 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: and it doesn't remind me? Makeup lady said, come over 450 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: and I will give you the proper wipes. So I'm 451 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: going to do that after this. Yeah, there are a 452 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: lot of conversations I find myself having as a grown 453 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: man that makes me realize that it occurs to me, Wow, 454 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: this is not at all what my parents had mine, 455 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: This is not at all. They must be ashamed. We 456 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: got together all those years ago. A doctor maybe I 457 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe a congressman, you know, who knows 458 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: what he'll be. No, he puts makeup on, and he 459 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: talks about other people. Do you want to hear some 460 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: great shame is after the one we're successful, more athletic 461 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: human beings. That's who he talks about. One dude working 462 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: on my hair. Uh, the lady working on my face, 463 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: and she's like, do you want some lip moisturizer and 464 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: I said, okay, yeah, take it, go ahead and trip 465 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: the light. Fantastic trip to life. And once that, once 466 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: the bosses get a load of you on camera, you're 467 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: never getting back on. What's lip moisturize? I don't know, 468 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: but it felt glorious. Uh. Finally Uh, more trouble for 469 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams, who was stabbed 470 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: in the thigh at his home in Tampa. He was 471 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: hospitalized and released in the same day. The police suspect 472 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: that Williams's brother is involved. Obviously Williams has been uh. 473 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: He has some scrapes of the law. And now the 474 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: prior Bucks regime was upset about his behavior while recovering 475 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: from a torn hamstring. Now this happens, even though who 476 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: knows this might not be his fault at all. You know, 477 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: he got stabbed, but you don't know the backstory is 478 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: Mike Williams going to be on the Bucks next year? 479 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: Who decided to give this guy a stack of money, 480 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: a lot of money? That was a bad idea from 481 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: the beginnings year, forty million dollar deal. Last year he 482 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: felt to the fourth round coming out of Syracuse because 483 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: he was a nut job. He was uncontrollable. No, the 484 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: coaches couldn't control him. And now we're supposed to be 485 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: surprised that he's arrested one week, his brother stabs him 486 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: the next week. It wouldn't surprise me if he's off 487 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: the roster. If they draft Sammy Watkins and a lot 488 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: of people have him going number seven in the mocks 489 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: they do. I haven't seen Watkins fall that far? Is 490 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: that what's gonna have seen him in a lot of mocks? Yeah? 491 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, if they get If they get that, 492 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: that's a pretty potent duo. The shade of it, to 493 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: the shame of it though, as well, is that if 494 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: you put Vincent Jackson and a motivated head on straight 495 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, that's pretty nice one to punch. But I 496 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: guess that's asking too much. He seems to be to 497 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: punch that got Josh Freeman fired. I would say, um, 498 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, powerful lesson going forward. For all NFL teams, 499 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: do not draft wide receivers named Mike Williams. They're over 500 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: to now anybody named Mike Williams. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. 501 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: All right, before you gentlemen leave me, I want to 502 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: throw it back to the gold Standard and Zach we 503 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: have Dave. It's it's very nice to have him in studio. 504 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: And thank you again Dave for joining us. Yes, great, 505 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 1: it was a great booking for us. We're very excited. 506 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: So we're gonna play a game, one of the great 507 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: games of the A t L podcast, And we're gonna 508 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,479 Speaker 1: be doing another one later in the week when West's 509 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: Toasters back West putting it all on the line again. 510 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: But right now, the gold Standard, what are we playing? 511 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: We are playing why from Culver City, California. It's America's 512 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: favorite game show. More all right, gentlemen, what's more likely 513 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: Terrell Prior wins a future starting job or Matt Shob 514 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: is the Raiders quarterback for three to four years, as 515 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: Dennis Alent said Friday, Oh easily, Terrell Prior absolutely. How 516 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: can match shop three or four years. Listen, if you 517 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: are in the Raiders front office, you the two thousand 518 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: thirteen season never happened. That is how they're operating. Dennis 519 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: Allen said on Sunday that he said over the past 520 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: six or seven years, Matt Schob has been one of 521 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: the top ten quarterbacks in the league. Never happened in Oakland. 522 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: Everything's in play. I hate that I had to keep 523 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: making this front office like my whipping boy. But how 524 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: do you go from deciding that Carson Palmer is no good, 525 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: We'll get rid of him for nothing, but bring us 526 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: match Shop. Yes there's our answer. Yeah. I mean, if 527 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: the offensive line is going to be a question, then 528 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: you cannot have match Shob and expect him to to 529 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: be terribly productive. You know the thing when he was 530 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: with the Texans, and he did, and I think he 531 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: quickly became a punch line in given the high hopes 532 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: and everything else for the team. But you know, it 533 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago Matt Shob was putting up, at 534 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: least in fantasy terms, some great numbers. He was. He was, 535 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, he was a quietly very good fantasy player. Um. 536 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: But I mean at this stage of his career, and 537 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: like I said, with a bad offensive line and who's 538 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: catching the passes there in Oakland three or four years 539 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? No chance I'll take Prior. I mean, 540 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: do you think Prior will be a starter? You mean 541 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: win a week one gemet get you said in the 542 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: future in so that could But I mean I think 543 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: it's on the unlikely side, but it wouldn't be a shock. 544 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: Where is shob massed lasting another three or four years 545 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: would truly shock me? Yeah? I mean, I listen Terrell Prior, 546 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: when you watch him throw a football, he does not 547 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: he does not say, um, number one option in on 548 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: an NFL team. But that's more likely than match shop 549 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: for three years. Please whatever, you guys, just throwing him 550 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: out there. I feel like I got a little personal there. 551 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: What about Terrell Prior versus Mark Sanchez winning a starting gig? 552 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: Which is more likely? What more likely? It's a good one? Uh? 553 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: Troll Prior. I think Sanchez has some stink on him 554 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: that Prior doesn't West neither. I don't think either one's winning. 555 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: It comes down to which quarterback in front of them 556 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: gets hurt first. It just goes to show. It's an 557 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: old point, but but worth repeating. It is amazing six 558 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: billion people walk this earth. They can't find thirty two 559 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: guys to play quarterback and do it well. It's remarkable. 560 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: We're talking about Matt schob and Brian Hoyer and Terrell 561 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: Pryor and Matt Castle and p and you and I 562 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: mean Carson Palmer When you get down to it is 563 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: at least one of the what the top sixteen or 564 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: so let's fix on the face of the earth. Let's 565 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: flip this around. If they found thirty two quarterbacks, then 566 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: you would be saying, you mean to tell me six 567 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: billion people and we can't find enough guys to play 568 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. All right, we'll get to that 569 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: when the when the when we when we solve this 570 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: quarterback conundrum. Here's another one. What more likely Richie Incognito 571 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: signs with an NFL team this offseason or Jared Allen 572 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: signs with an NFL team this offseason? Jared Allen by 573 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: a lot. I don't think Incognito ever plays again. Speaking 574 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: of the Raiders, I feel like they're looming potentially in 575 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: the mix for for Incognito. Oh, I don't think anyone's 576 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna sign him. I I would be surprised if anyone 577 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: brought in Incognito. I mean, I've declared that I'm with 578 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: West there's no way he plays in the NFL. And 579 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: and that comes from somebody I've always laughed. I mean, 580 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: when Michael Vick was trying to re enter the league, 581 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: and they would you know, people would do interviews with GMS, 582 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: and they would say, hey, there's this young man. No, no, 583 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No one's gonna touch this guy with a 584 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: ten football? Well can he play? Is? I mean? Is 585 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: is he a potential huge difference maker? Then I'm not 586 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: concerned that there will be a spot form in the 587 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: NFL at this point. Richie Incognito is not good enough 588 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: to be worth the potential headache and the PR nightmare 589 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: and everything else. That's what it comes down to is 590 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: is well, will he contribute? Yeah, then we can look 591 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: past everything else. Richie Incognito is not some all pro lineman. 592 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Trying to find a guard isn't nearly as hard as 593 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: trying to find a guy with Michael Vick's talent at quarterback? 594 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: What more likely? All right, what's more likely? Actually? Wes 595 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: you had one? Right? Yeah, this goes back to your 596 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: quarterback question, like that, what's more likely by Halloween Mark 597 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: Sanchez has started a game for an NFL team or 598 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: Matt shob has been benched for ineffectiveness at least once 599 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: by Halloween. By Halloween October one, I think it's more 600 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: likely that job is benched. I think that Mark Sanchez 601 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: will start a game for the Oakland Raiders when Matt 602 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: shob gets benched. Take that. I don't know, listen, I 603 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: don't know about that, but you know, by you know, 604 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: as a side note, you reminded me of something. Isn't 605 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: it weird? What is it with the Oakland Raiders front 606 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: office and their obsession with quarterbacks named Matt? It's weird. 607 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: Matt McGloin, Matt Show, Matt Linertner, and there's another one 608 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: to Matt Flinn, Matt Flinty, Matt Welcome, who is decent? An? 609 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: I think we finally cracked the Reggie Mackenzie code. There 610 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: you go. That's who's out there. Matt Hasselbeck. You're up. 611 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: You've just named all of the quarterbacks signed or acquired 612 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: by Reggie mackenzie except the one who we drafted in 613 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: the fourth round and cut before he even made it 614 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: out of trading camp. Tyler Wilson. Yep, really the strongest 615 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: resume there. No, let's give him a chance. It's been 616 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: a little rocky for Reggie. Do you have another one? 617 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: Was more likely? Let's go running backs. Two guys out 618 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: there available, Maurice Jones, Drew, Chris Johnson. What's more likely? 619 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson rushes for a thousand yards through his new home, 620 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: or Maurice Jones drew let's say seven hundred yards in 621 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: his news mm hmm. I think c J two K 622 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: will get starter workload uh, at least in his first 623 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: year wherever he lands. I think I could see him 624 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: getting over two hundred carries. UH might take two fifty 625 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: to two hundred and sixty to get him to a thousand. 626 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: Right at this stage of the game, I think he's 627 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: more likely to go over a thousand. I think he 628 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: still has something in the tank. Put him in a 629 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: good spot. He can still have some nice years left. 630 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: M J D could end up on a depth chart 631 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: where he's sharing the ball three other two other guys. Yeah, 632 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: I I I agree with that. I'd say Chris Johnson 633 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: has the chance for redemption and rising like a phoenix 634 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 1: if he gets to the right spot. Where is that spot? 635 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: That's the question, though it's it's hard to the guy. 636 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: I know it's an old story at this point that 637 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, two thousand yards is is uh pretty long ago. 638 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: But um, you know, has anybody ever had such a 639 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: fall from Grace who put up one of the all 640 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: time statistically one of the all time great rushing seasons. 641 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: Who who fell off that fact? Wow? And he got 642 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: hurt and then and then I know there O. J. 643 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: Simpson had some trouble down the line after his two 644 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: thousand yards season. Somewhere I heard, yeah, I heard Jim Jamal. Yeah. 645 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Now wait now that we're 646 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: going through, if has anybody not gotten into trouble with 647 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: two thousand yards? Everybody Kerson fell into. He got into 648 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: that hole. I mean, it's it's quaint now as we 649 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: look back at it. What he wanted more money and that, 650 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, but he was such a villain at the 651 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: time that he forced himself basically out of l A 652 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: to go to the Colts. But remember what a stink 653 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: there was on him for doing that. Wow, if you 654 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: rush for two thousand yards, that's pretty much the believe 655 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: this to be true that if any running back who's 656 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,479 Speaker 1: rushed for two thousand yards, out of all that group, 657 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: nobody has rushed for fifteen hundred the next year, not 658 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: not even a p couldn't do it last year. That's rilled. 659 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: Davis blew out his knee in Week four. The year 660 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: after he did it, Ver Sanders came very close. I 661 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: believed something. Um, Chris Johnson, we say fall from grace. 662 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: But there's no other running back in the NFL active 663 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: who has rush for a thousand yards every year of 664 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: his career and hasn't missed a game in five years. Wow, 665 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't he be a good fit in Atlanta? For instance? 666 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: I do. I like it a lot. Stephen Jackson still 667 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: in the picture there with Chris Johnson. I think you 668 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: can pay both. I mean, that would be awesome in 669 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: two thousand nine. Imagine though, being being a running back 670 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: who is right now three ish, this premise that was 671 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: set up for you when you were about eleven as Wow, 672 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 1: you got wheels, you're tough, you got the wiggle.

And in a decade. It's just 675 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: that's all been a race. There's no you know there, 676 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: there's nothing that that gets turned over more quickly and 677 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: is less highly regarded almost anywhere on the football field, 678 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: almost any position you can name. Running back is so 679 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: diminished the way we consider it. And we can just 680 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: roll some guys through here. Mama's don't let your babies 681 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: grow up to be running I didn't always used to 682 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: be that way.

Wow. That sounds pretty nice, 751 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: I gotta say. I mean you do take away this 752 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,760 Speaker 1: the illusion of grandeur with technology for the NFL, huddled 753 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: around like a speaker phone. Well, we're in, by the way, 754 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: We're in Greg's room and he was given a view 755 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,439 Speaker 1: out the window, which is about thirty five times more 756 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: alluring than what I realized I was given. So what 757 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: did the Sissler get. The Sizzler got essentially one of 758 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: those when you look out a window in an apartment 759 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: and you just see a wall. Yeah, well, you know 760 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: what mark you're getting that you're not the boss. When 761 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: you're the boss, you get that kind of stuff. Those 762 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: parts are we really complaining about when when we were 763 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: at the Risk Carlton or whatever. And it is a 764 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: whole another rent district that we will never be part 765 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: of unless we were, you know, asking questions that people 766 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: don't want to answer to at the place. All right, 767 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: so let's let's get into it then. Um, you gentlemen, 768 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: were sent by the League shadowy League figures sent to 769 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: the two of you from the Around the Louis Crew 770 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: to cover this event. So you're now one day in. 771 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: If you could tell us a little bit, what are 772 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: you seeing sights and sounds? Having been in Orlando for 773 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: a little over twenty four hours now, I think, you know, 774 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: for Greg and I both having never been here, and 775 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: it is it's a little bit more of a free 776 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: flowing event where for us we didn't know how to 777 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: attack it initially, and we were even asking some of 778 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: the other writers that we knew well and they kind 779 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: of said, today you sort of just lurk. It's it's 780 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: a lot of very wealthy owners and it's all the 781 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: coaches and general managers who are essentially on vacation with 782 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: their families, and it would be like getting to vacation 783 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: and finding people that you really didn't like from at 784 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: the same residency. And so suddenly they come out of 785 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: a doorway and there's a bunch of krusty beat writers 786 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: and there's us trying to, you know, pester them with questions. 787 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: So they're annoyed to some degree off the bat challenge. 788 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to like imagine this. So is it a 789 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: situation where Mike Tomlin like comes out of an elevator 790 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: and his two little girls. Hypothesthetically speaking, we're wearing like 791 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: bubbles on their arms. They go into the swimming pool 792 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: at this hotel and you're you're ambushing them to get 793 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: thoughts on Jason World's because right next to where the 794 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: meeting is happening, there is there is a gigantic room 795 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: literally for wags NFL, and then there's a room next 796 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: to that that's like a playroom for kids, and the 797 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: place is surrounded by like human checkers board scenarios and 798 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: pools where it's just kids swimming and running in and 799 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: out of the hotel. And I mean they're not, you know, 800 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: in our face, but it's so clear that we have 801 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: interrupted what otherwise would be a delightful get away for 802 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: these people. Some are more open, asking, answering some questions, 803 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: and others. Plenty of people are very nice. Jim Harbas 804 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with the media today. I 805 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: talked with him, and then others are clearly less interested in. 806 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: Mark generally approaches them anyways, even if they're like waiting 807 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: for attacks outside the hotel. As we know, Sessler is 808 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: the great intrepid reporter of the around the league ranks. 809 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,879 Speaker 1: And I got a text from you, Sizzler, regarding one 810 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: NFC South coach about one interaction you had. Well, uh, 811 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: you know, they were bum rushing out of this room 812 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: and I tried to grab Sean Payton. I said, you know, 813 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm from NFL dot com. Can I get you for 814 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 1: like maybe literally fifteen seconds? And he paused and like 815 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: a father putting his hand on a small child's shoulder, 816 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: which was me, He just put his hand on my 817 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: shoulder and said how about later, pal, and just walked off. 818 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: You know, generally, the reception we got, we were able 819 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: to get, we were getting some people answer my question 820 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: a lot of rejection, So it does remind you a 821 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 1: little bit of like asking girls out when you're they're 822 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: out of your league. But plenty of people talk to us. 823 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,399 Speaker 1: We talked to Jim Harby, talked to Jake Gruden. Uh, 824 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: we talked to a decent amount and it really picks 825 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: up tomorrow and just seeing everything is fascinating because as 826 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: much as the owner the coaches are around at the combine, here, 827 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: it's all almost under one roof. There's two hotels right 828 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: next to each other, and so really everywhere you walk 829 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: and turn, there's a general manager, an owner, or a coach. 830 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: So it's a surreal experience. Let me ask you guys 831 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: through Monday, what's kind of the most surprising or the 832 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: most interesting takeaway each of you had? I think for me, honestly, Uh, 833 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 1: I was able to get into a group with Reggie 834 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: mackenzie where they're only two or three of us way 835 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: down this hallway, and after the off season that he's 836 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: had the kind of reception, the up and down reception 837 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: from the media towards him, how open and honest he 838 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: was with answering questions and honestly a pretty funny guy. 839 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: And like definitely a smart guy. So I really hadn't 840 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: had a chance to speak to him one on one 841 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: before ever, and he came across very well and honestly 842 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: pretty controlled of his whole situation with Oakland. It's a 843 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: good thing that Wes is no longer in the studio. 844 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: He'd probably somehow find a way to denigrate the man. Yeah, 845 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: and I think it would be good for the two 846 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: of them to sit down and maybe have a tea 847 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: or a coffee. What about you, Greg, Mark Dave to 848 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: jump out, Mark was saying Mark Davis is all over 849 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: the place here and is talking a lot. And Mark 850 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: spoke with Mark Davis in a group today and the 851 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 1: whole l A Oakland Raiders thing seems to be cranking up. 852 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: We're not going to get too deep into that. My 853 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: Probably the biggest surprise was that all the NFL owners 854 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: and coaches and gm still have to sit through what 855 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 1: is essentially a corporate presentation at an annual meeting that 856 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 1: is really well done, but it's ultimately probably like the 857 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: annual meetings at every corporate event. So these billionaires are 858 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: seeded to start the entire meeting for sixty minutes listening 859 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: to Roger Goodell and then a number of different people 860 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: from the NFL make a presentation and we we managed 861 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: to find our way into that. We can't really on 862 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 1: what went down in there, but for the most part, 863 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: it was kind of like a very corporate thing that 864 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: most companies would have, except unbelievable production values, Like they 865 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: had a locker for all thirty two teams with a 866 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: jersey and it and just everything was just so well 867 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: done and they you could tell they had rehearsed it 868 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: many many times. Well, sorry, Dan, the Jets locker actually 869 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,280 Speaker 1: had no jersey. I think they couldn't pinpoint a player 870 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: they wanted to focus on. That's the glacier. That's the glacier. 871 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 1: You know. It was showing the highlights for the entire season. 872 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 1: Was six minutes of it. There was a lot of 873 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: other presentations about different parts of the company in the business, 874 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 1: but part of it was just reviewing the season for 875 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 1: six minutes on a monstrous screen that was bigger than 876 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 1: if you went to the movie theaters that sort of screen, 877 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 1: And there's John Fox and John Elway sitting right there 878 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 1: in the audience watching their team get devastated. The Seahawks 879 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: in New York. You know, I imagine going sneaking into 880 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: like one of these rooms with all these owners, and 881 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy has them maybe standing on top of 882 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: the ladder and doing one of those trust falls back 883 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 1: into like Robert Kraft's arms or something like that. I 884 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: think you're far off. I honestly don't, because we that 885 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 1: was the six minutes that we saw. But then there 886 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 1: they are transported into behind closed doors for eight or 887 00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: nine hours. You know something's going on. And before before 888 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: let you, gentlemen go, I know there's an open bar 889 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: event involved somewhere in Orlando that I'm sure you'll be at. Um. 890 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell spoke today, you guys also set in for that, correct, Yeah, 891 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: we did, and Rich McKay and Jeff Fisher also spoke. 892 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 1: Really the if there's gonna be any sizzle in terms 893 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: of the rules that will be past this week, it's 894 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: gonna come in the next two days. For now, they're 895 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 1: just presenting and talking about the issues at a very 896 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: low level. But they're not really going back and forth 897 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: and they're not debating and uh voting on it, So 898 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot to come from that. I don't 899 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be instant replay. I don't think there's 900 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 1: gonna be any changes there. I think a lot of 901 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: the Patriots proposals will basically be shot down. But I 902 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: do think the goalposts are gonna be raised. I think 903 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: the future. We can talk about that later in the 904 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: week when when we find out. But let's the most 905 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 1: important thing. What about will the Indianapolis Colts be allowed 906 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 1: to open their dome if the weather permits or something? 907 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: That topic will be tabled until actually that ain't right.
