27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: How are we doing? Hopefully everyone's doing well. We had

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: a little doubleheader tonight the Baltimore Ravens. The score looks

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: a lot closer than the game actually was. Dominate the

30
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Derreck Henry, I mean, looks like an

31
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: MVP candidate right there with his quarterback who has just

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: found the fountain of youth. He looks incredible. I mean,

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: he looks as fresh as he's ever looked. Tampa had

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: one of the worst nights you'll ever see for a

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: good team. A couple injuries that are going to be very,

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: very very hard to overcome, and now their schedule the

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: next three weeks gets really difficult. So pressure on Todd

38
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Bowles and Baker Mayfield to kind of man the ship

39
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: here because it could spiral fast. And then we had

40
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: a Jim Harbaugh meltdown over some penalties. One you know,

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: I think the refs got it right, and the other

42
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: one at the end of the game was really really bad,

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: and the Chargers lose to the Cardinals, who get a

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: big win. Now we're in second place in the NFC West.

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: Kyler makes a couple awesome plays James Connor. We'll dive

46
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: into those games little my Penthouse and out house. So

Speaker 1: rolling because we're in the middle of football season. Doesn't

56
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: get any better than this. Honestly, sometimes I'm like, it's

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: already almost November. Football seasons, can we slow down getting

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: a little too close to the end of it. I

59
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: want to enjoy this We do got a Dodger Yankee

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: World Series coming up though, so we got some big

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: football games. Let's let's let's try to enjoy it because

62
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of flying by fast before we dive in.

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: If you want to go to any game, World Series

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: is right around the corner. Just texting with my buddy,

65
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: turns out uh new buddy Jeff, who's listener of the

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: podcast Good Friends with Aaron Boone. Heay's going to New

67
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: York to watch the Yankees. If you want to go

68
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: to the World Series, if you can. If you're a

69
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: big Yankee fan or Dodger fan, they got pretty big

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: fan basis. You want to go to a college game,

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: I was on the phone today with one of our

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: sales reps and he lives in Franklin, Tennessee. Said he

73
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: went to Knoxville, said it was the coolest atmosphere he's

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: ever seen. Cotton Bowl was cool, but I don't think

75
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: it was quite Knoxville or LSU. So if you want

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: to get to an SEC game, if you want to

77
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: get to a Big ten game, the ratings on these games,

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, college football is so popular right now. The

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: NBA is starting, the NHL is starting, so a lot

88
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: Don't love these Monday night games, but we're gonna start

89
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: positive because football is better than no football, even though

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: one game would have been fined. Let's start with the

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: Ravens Tampa Bay game, and I want to start with Baltimore,

92
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: who obviously was the number one seed, and people like

93
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: me not only thought they were gonna beat the Chiefs,

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: but expected them to win the Super Bowl because of

95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: what they did to the forty nine ers on that

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, whatever night. They destroyed him right

97
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: at Levi Stadium. This defense is not as good, but

98
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: this offense is looking incredible. The offensive line, which was

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: a question mark early in the season, looks a lot

100
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: more formidable, but offensively they have the MVP of the league.

101
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Lamar is one of the best quarterbacks, definitely one of

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: the most dynamic players in NFL history. And they showed

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: a stats to night in the history of Monday night football.

104
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to be one of the greatest

105
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: Monday night football players in the history of the league.

106
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 1: And he is playing at a really, really high level.

107
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: And part of that is because his friend Mark Andrews

108
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: is back from a major injury from last year. Looks fantastic,

109
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: looks like he's coming into his own. He keeps getting healthy.

110
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: He is a high end player. We know likely's really good.

111
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Jay Flowers is a stud bateman was making plays tonight.

112
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: But to me, the difference in this team like watching Harball.

113
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: He's basically running the Ravens backfield. Over the last three

114
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: or four years. Derrick Henry is one of the best

115
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: running backs in the history of the NFL, in the

116
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: history of the sport. Honestly, he's one of the most

117
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: unique body types in the history of the league. I

118
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: went to a Titans practice years ago. My buddy Ryan

119
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: was getting married and we had his bachelor party in Nashville,

120
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: and it was like, you know, Friday Saturday Sunday, and

121
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna make a week

122
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: of it. I went on like Monday afternoon. I was like,

123
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: I'll take my golf clubs and I'll go to a

124
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Titan's practice. Knew John Robinson actually interviewed him for this

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: podcast in his office. This was before the volume was created.

126
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: And I went to a practice. Matt Lafleur was actually

127
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator that year, had just been hired. It

128
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: was OTA's and I remember being at practice standing and

129
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: I took a picture. This must have been twenty eighteen,

130
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: and it was Dion Lewis standing next to Derrick Henry

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 1: and I just remember looking at this human being, going

132
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: how could you possibly think about tackling this guy? And

133
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: as the game's going tonight and you go, obviously there

134
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: are other offensive pieces, and like I said, lamar Or,

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: they've been great for a long time, specifically the quarterback,

136
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: but they've never had anything quite like this. So, yeah,

137
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: their defense isn't as good, it's not as dominant as

138
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: last year. Clearly from a pass defense standpoint, a lot

139
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,119
Speaker 1: of question marks, but they can slow down the game.

140
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: In theory, the problem is Dereck Henry keeps busting off

141
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: touchdown runs. He looks as fresh as he's ever looked

142
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: in his career. And he was already a Hall of

143
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Famer before this season. I added it up today. Between

144
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: high school, college and the NFL, he had over forty

145
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: one hundred career carries coming into this game. As someone

146
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: pointed out on social media, he was in the same

147
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: draft class as Ezekiel Elliott. And he looks like twenty

148
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: four years old, just about to get his first contract.

149
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: How can he look this good? And the thing with

150
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: running backs is the last attribute you actually need, like

151
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: it's not a prerequisite to be a great player, is

152
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: high end breakaway speed. A lot of great running backs

153
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: have not been home run hitters. It's actually a pretty

154
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: rare trait. I would say the best guy of my life,

155
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, my adult life the last twenty plus years

156
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: in terms of open field high end speed was Adrian Peterson.

157
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: If he got in the open field, no one could

158
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: catch him. That's Derrick Henry, Like he gets a crease,

159
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: he's gone. And you would have thought, because like most

160
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: running backs with that many carries that much mileage, they

161
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: just wouldn't be as good. And to me, someone has

162
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: just been watching football for a long time. He looks

163
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: as good as ever and you add that piece, and

164
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: we've talked about it before, it's easily one of the

165
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: best signings, especially when you factor in how much he

166
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: costs of this NFL season. Honestly, there might not really

167
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: be a close second. And he's now playing on what

168
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: feels like the best offense right there with Detroit in

169
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. Detroit just lost their home run hinter Jameson Williams,

170
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: suspend him for a couple of weeks. But if they

171
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: get this Derrick Henry in the playoffs. And this is

172
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: someone who said I don't feel comfortable betting on this

173
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: team against the Chiefs ever again, and then you watch

174
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: them the last couple weeks, you're like, eh, I kind

175
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: of change my tune. You're like, now it's gonna be

176
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: harder for them to get home field advantage because the

177
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs already have a couple game lead because they have

178
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: not lost obviously, And the craziest game so far of

179
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: the NFL season looking back is the Raiders upsetting the

180
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: Ravens down ten points in Baltimore. That's just one of

181
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: those we're gonna look back is like, how did that happen?

182
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Raiders actually did it last year? Remember on Christmas to

183
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But I think he adds an element that

184
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: they haven't quite had. They've had a good run game,

185
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: but they have a guy that unlike last year, it's like,

186
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: let's get away from the run games. Like, guys, you're

187
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: down a touchdown, Let's take a deep breath. The Chiefs

188
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: don't have forty points on the field or on the scoreboard,

189
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: just relax, play your game. I actually think it's going

190
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: to be easier for them in theory. Again, they have

191
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: to do it to just hand that guy the ball

192
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: because you're watching him in these games, they feel much

193
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: more inclined. All else fails handed to twenty two, handed

194
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: to twenty two, and then Lamar throughout the game can

195
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: just do his magical stuff, which is just it's insane

196
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: how good the guy is. People think I'm like a

197
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson hater. I mean, he's remarkable, he really is.

198
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: But I think Derick Henry has a chance to take

199
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: this team to the next level because, let's face it,

200
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: you know their defense is more than good enough. You

201
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: don't have to have the number one defense in the league.

202
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: To win the Super Bowl. But as we know, you

203
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: have to have a good defense. They have a good defense,

204
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: and they have a defensive culture. They'll be fine. They'll

205
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: have to shore up a little bit of the pass game.

206
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: But again, if they're playing the Chiefs, the Chiefs aren't

207
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: exactly thrown up thirty five points, so they have to

208
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: win a game in the teams. It's easier to do

209
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: that with Derek Henry and I've really just been blown

210
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: away the Ravens, who at zero to two have come

211
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: storming back and look fantastic. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I

212
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: mean that game started, You're just like God, Baker's playing

213
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: out of his mind, like, are are they gonna roll

214
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens. They're up ten to nothing, It honestly easily

215
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: could have been fourteen nothing. Then it looked like Baker

216
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: hit Mike Evans for a touchdown that I think would

217
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: have put him up what twenty one to seven, and

218
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: Mike Evans got hurt, and then the game spiraled and

219
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: Baker threw a red zone pick. He threw another bad pick,

220
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: and then the floodgates opened and the Ravens ran away

221
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: with the game. But obviously they lost Mike Evans, which

222
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say is going to miss

223
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: some time. And then at the end of the game,

224
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: which I'm not gonna be critical of having Godwin and

225
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: Baker in that spot, even though the Ravens had already

226
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: pulled Lamar and Henry you know, in their starting skill

227
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: guys by that point. But his ankle went the opposite

228
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: way and he got carted off in an air cast,

229
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: and they didn't show the replay. Clearly it was awful,

230
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: and you knew right away when Baker was on kind

231
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: of like you know, two legs, kneeling down and looking

232
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: the other way and slamming his helmet that it was

233
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: really really awful. And this is I've known. I worked

234
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: with Todd Bowles in Philadelphia. He's a super super high

235
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: level guy. He's actually a very intense, calm guy. He's

236
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: one of those rare defensive guys. He's not like a

237
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: huge yeller and a screamer. There's a lot of pressure

238
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: on him right now, because that's you lose games. You

239
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: play the Ravens, you play the Chiefs, you played a lot,

240
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: You've played great teams, even at home Monday football. Sometimes

241
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: some weird happens. You lose, no big deal, even getting

242
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: your ass kick just like, Okay, we took it on

243
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: the chin, Take a deep breath. That's not just a loss.

244
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: That's losing Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, which was one

245
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: of the reasons that Baker Mayfield, I mean, one of

246
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: the main reasons led the league in touchdown passes and

247
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: had one of the most dynamic offen in the league.

248
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: So I think it's fair to assume that Chris Godwin

249
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: is gone for the season and Mike Evans, who they

250
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: mentioned and I has not missed many games in his career, like,

251
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: is going to miss some time. I don't really know

252
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: how you overcome that. Their defense isn't as good as

253
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: it has been in years past. They've been very dependent

254
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: on the offense, and now I remove your best two

255
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: offensive weapons on the outside by a mile, I mean

256
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: an elite Hall of Fame outside wide receiver in just

257
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: this dynamic verstual piece in god I mean, those guys

258
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: are championship winning players and their next three games are

259
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: on a short week playing Atlanta, who I don't think

260
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: is that good. But you remove Evans and Godwin, like

261
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: that's tough, then you have to go to Kansas City,

262
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, who knows who's going to be

263
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: playing for the forty nine ers by then, But it's

264
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: still not going to be an easy matchup the forty

265
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: nine ers. So this was when I before the game started,

266
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: even if you lost, you went listen, if you can

267
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: just somehow go two and two in this spot, help

268
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: beat the Falcons and go one and three, you're in

269
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: good shape. Now it feels like they're not a lock

270
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: to win any of these games without those two players.

271
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: That is one of those losses that is just emotionally gutting.

272
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: You know. We saw it with the Lions last week.

273
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Losing Hutchinson was really really tough, and I think you

274
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: saw early in that game in Minnesota they not that

275
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: they were shell shocked, but it was like it was

276
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: it felt like it was still hovering over them. Then

277
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: they got it together, they got their bearings. You can't

278
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: lose two of those guys, you know. I don't know

279
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: if you could shake that. I was a big believer

280
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: in the Bucks. After the first you know, four or

281
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: five games of this season, I thought like, this team's

282
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. Now I go, there's just Todd

283
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: Bowle is gonna have to be a magician here, somehow

284
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: rallied the troops, somehow get his defense to play better.

285
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna have to rely on Baker to

286
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: be perfect. Cannot be turning the ball over. He's thrown

287
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns, but the last couple of games

288
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: throws some picks. Though two weeks ago some of those were,

289
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of freaky picks. Balls tipped. Tonight,

290
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: the two were pretty bad. That's hard. That's really really

291
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: difficult because when fully healthy you went. Their offense is

292
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: a lot like Baltimore. Right. Obviously Lamar's better than Baker,

293
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: but two elite wide receivers, a really good tight end.

294
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving looks fantastic. The offensive coordinator Liam Cohen, who

295
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: had been in with the Rams and McVeigh and coach

296
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: at Kentucky, was doing a really, really good job. It's like,

297
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: this team's gonna win ten games, and now it's one

298
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: of those when you show up to the office tomorrow,

299
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: you're just it's gonna be hard to hold your head

300
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: up high, not just because you lost, but because you

301
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: look around. It's like, is Mike Evan's gonna have to

302
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: go on injury reserve. We know Godwin is I mean,

303
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: if you had the list, obviously the quarterbacks number one,

304
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: if you were doing the top five guys that you

305
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: would cannot afford to lose, you know, Mike probably be one,

306
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: and Godwin would definitely be in the top three or four.

307
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: So huge game for Baltimore dominated Henry MVP form, same

308
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: with Lamar and the bucks Man. What a what a

309
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: shitty night to be a Tampa fan. You know, you

310
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: try to sometimes you already get a take ready. You're like,

311
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: I can't wait to fire this one out, and it

312
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: was gonna be you know, last year, it's kind of crazy.

313
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: The Chargers went five and twelve. They went five and twelve.

314
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: Now they drafted five, so clearly they had a really

315
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: bad record. But when you say it out loud, you're like,

316
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: I knew they were bad, but five wins and you

317
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: realized they didn't really win any games at the end

318
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: once they shit can Brandon stay? But they were really

319
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: really bad, and I think they're gonna I mean, like

320
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: Hardbaugh's gonna win this game. He's already gonna have four wins,

321
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: and then a penalty happens and let's face it, they're

322
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: down two points at the one yard line with like

323
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: ten minutes to go, and they have an eight minute

324
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: drive that ultimately led to a third I think it

325
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: was third and six, third and five. Maybe that justin

326
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: Herbert took a shot hard boss freaking out thinking should

327
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: be past interference. I don't love shot plays or even

328
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: options on that. Like, run some quick outs, run some

329
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: quick crossing routes, get the ball to Maconkey on a rollout.

330
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: Just let's just get a first down, keep the drive

331
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: moving the margin. Fererra on that play, even if the

332
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver you know, doesn't get hit off his route

333
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: or held or whatever, I had no problem with him

334
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: not calling the penalty on that. I don't like that

335
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: decision by Herbert, that play call, even as an option,

336
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: run something that's gonna give me a chance at a

337
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: first down and kind of end the game. But they didn't.

338
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: And then they gave it back to Kyler Murray, who

339
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: the first two plays of the drive, you're like, didn't

340
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: even sniff a completion, and then a flag came out

341
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: about five minutes late. And we went on this rant

342
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: last week on Monday Night Football, when the referees were

343
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: It's one of the worst officiated games you'll ever watch

344
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like we're all used to bad calls, right,

345
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: it's I always say it all the time. I understand

346
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: the human element. I just reserve the right to get

347
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: worked up if it's a team I like or I

348
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: got money on the game. It's part of the fun

349
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: of this. But there comes a point where you jump

350
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: the shark of this is beyond egregious. What are we

351
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: doing here? And I say it all the time with

352
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: college when they get aggressive with throwing kids out. Nobody's

353
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: trying to hurt anybody. Nobody is, but it still is

354
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: football and people are going to get tackled and hit hard.

355
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: It's part of the sport. This is a very violent game.

356
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: It's honestly what built up to become such a popular sport.

357
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: And then because of the concussion is because of the lawsuits.

358
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: I get we've had to pivot and change, and I'm

359
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: all for trying to make sure the best quarterbacks stay healthy.

360
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: But on some of these plays down the field, defensive

361
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: backs and linebackers are allowed to hit people, they really

362
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: are and some of these times, just because it looks bad,

363
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it actually was. And he not only didn't

364
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: connect with his helmet, he barely touched the guy. But

365
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: Jim Harbad freaked out so much on the previous drive

366
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: that he was almost he just kind of gave up,

367
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: put his hands in the air, and it ultimately cost

368
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: him the game. And the one thing is, if you

369
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: are gonna screw up and listen, I don't feel necessarily

370
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: bad for the Chargers, right they how many points they score? Fifteen?

371
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: So anytime that you're in a game and what was

372
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 1: the final score, yeah, fifteen to seventeen to fifteen. So

373
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: if you're scoring in the mid teens, you allow for

374
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: the option for weird shit to happen if a big

375
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: play breaks, Like you didn't do enough to play winning football.

376
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: And the Chargers are like the poor poor man's version

377
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. They want to play with defense, they

378
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: want to slow down the game, and they want to

379
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: try to win like eighteen to ten, like that's where

380
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: they're twenty one to seventeen, Like that's what they're gonna

381
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: be comfortable doing. But when you do that and your

382
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: team is not as good as the Chiefs, your margin

383
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: frere is really small. And the one thing with the Cardinals,

384
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: which are one of the more all over the team

385
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: plays teams in the NFL. They have electric players. I

386
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: mean Kyler's run the night I mean look like the

387
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: short version of Lamar. He is one of the great

388
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: athletes in the sport. So if you screw up, take

389
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: a bad angle, he can take it fifty as he

390
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: did James Connor. Part of it is the team that

391
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: he plays for is not like some huge brand. Even

392
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: the night they played on ESPN Plus. So I can't

393
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: imagine there are some people listening to this that did

394
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: not watch the game. I didn't understand when everyone was

395
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: bitching and moaning about it online. The game's on ESPN Plus.

396
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's just on regular TV for me, And

397
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: then I realized on the local markets they put it on,

398
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, one of the main broadcast channels. It was

399
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: on Fox for me. But I understand anyone pushing back

400
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: ESPN Plus seems a little egregious to me. I mean,

401
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: now I get it, business partner. They're trying to grow that.

402
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm an ESPN Plus guy because I watch a lot

403
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: of golf on that. Any of the UFC guys probably

404
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: have it as well. It serves a purpose in my life.

405
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: But I get not everyone's buying that thing. And if

406
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: you're not a Charger or a Cardinal fan and there's

407
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: another game on, you could easily go, yeah, I'm not,

408
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: I don't care that much. Totally understand, But that was

409
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: a game that came down to a call. Now, the

410
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals still might have pulled some plays out of their

411
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: ass because they have Trey McBride stud Harrison. He's going

412
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: to be really damn good and like we said, at

413
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: any moment a lot like you know, kind of the

414
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: poor man's version of Lamar. Kyler can do things that

415
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: are out of this world. And there's not many better

416
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: freelance players in the NFL than Kyler. So as the

417
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: game gets tight, tight game, or you're down too you know,

418
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: fourth downs, like that's where he's one of the scarier players.

419
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: He is a very difficult player if he gets into

420
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: a little bit a rhythm and his team, if his

421
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: defense is playing okay, the just series in series out,

422
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: if the game's close, he's tough to defend. But you

423
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: just can't make that call. It just can't happen. And

424
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: I I was anyone that watched the Texas Georgia game.

425
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: I like Georgia in that game, but I had so

426
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: many parlays tied with the Nebraska covering the spread, which

427
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: obviously didn't do so it didn't cost me any money.

428
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: But I just found myself rooting for Georgia in that game.

429
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: I understand the call that they screwed up on the

430
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: past interference that led to a pick that they said

431
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: was past interference. They had spotted the ball as in

432
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: it was pass interference. They were gonna keep give George

433
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: the ball, and then the entire Texas crowd through beer bottles,

434
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: water bottles and other things on the field, and then

435
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: they just reversed the call, like and everyone was saying, well,

436
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: at least they got the call right. Well, that literally

437
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: never happens. I have never seen that happen. After Like

438
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: it's one thing that bang bang play. It's like, hey,

439
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: we got it wrong, changer right there, okay, but like

440
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: it had been a long time they all agreed call

441
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: spot the ball even if it's the wrong call, Like

442
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: this is one that like, come on, guys, can't everyone

443
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of look around? Can we get this right? That play?

444
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Can you guys see the review that just can't happen.

445
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: So I understand I'm probably recording this right as the

446
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: post game is going on that if I'm Hardball, I'm incensed.

447
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: And if I'm the Cardinals, I'm three and four and

448
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that I'm in second place because i

449
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: beat the Niners up, so they'd be in third place,

450
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: and I'm right there, so crazy night. Derrick Henry just

451
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: shows why he's a Hall of Famer. Tampa has one

452
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: of the worst injury games you'll ever see, with high

453
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: end players at the same position going down in the

454
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: same game. The Chargers play their style of football, have

455
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: a lead with under two minutes and kind of gets

456
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: screwed by the referees, and then the Cardinals take advantage

457
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: of that because they do have really, really good offensive players.

458
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: They really do. And it's weird, like, would you feel

459
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: great if Kyler is your quarterback? No? Like, are you

460
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: confident that he's a true franchise guy? Like every year

461
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna give me an opportunity to be a consistent player,

462
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs? You don't. But then at

463
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: the same time you watch individual games and you go,

464
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: he can do more things than some of those guys.

465
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: In that bucket. On an individual game basis, he's just

466
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: really a roller coaster. You don't really know what you're

467
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: gonna get weak to week, like part of the reason,

468
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: like Jared Goff's better now, but like same with Dak,

469
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: But like Dak Cousins, Goff kind of that crew of

470
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: guys for a long period of time. He was like,

471
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's somewhere between nine to thirteen range you

472
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: can win with, but you kind of know what you're getting.

473
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: And they've all kind of improved over the course of

474
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: their career, especially I mean Jared Goff's playing at an

475
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: MVP level, Kirk Cousins actually playing pretty well too, beside

476
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: from last week, which wasn't all his fault as defense

477
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: was terrible. But they've just and Dak's had three really

478
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: really good seasons in a row. But like Kyler could

479
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: have games where.

480
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: It's like those guys can't do that, they can't make

481
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: that throw, they can't throw it that far, they can't

482
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: run that fast, and then you watch other games you're like,

483
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 3: is this the worst team I've ever seen?

484
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: What's going on? Just a very very There's just not

485
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: really a team like them in the NFL, and I

486
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: think a big reason for that is Kyler, who is

487
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: when they're playing well, is just an auto watch. An

488
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: auto watch, And if I was a video game player,

489
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: he would be very very fun to play with. Uh So, yeah,

490
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: fun little Monday night. And I think we skipped we

491
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: skipped this last week. Maybe I did it last week,

492
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: but a little penthouse outhouse. I last week I was

493
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: in Nashville, and you know, I'm a Marriott guy. I'm simple,

494
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: stay at just a lot of normal marriyouts every once

495
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: in a while if I'm feeling frisky, stayed at JW

496
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not opposed to staying at a spring Hill Swee.

497
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: So your boy's been there. But we're getting married at

498
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: a little place called the Four Seasons. So I'm like,

499
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: you know what they'll give They're giving us a big

500
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: discount and stay there for a couple of days. First

501
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: time I'd ever stayed there. I'm like, I'm a normal

502
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: Four Seasons guy. And even with the discount, shit ain't cheap.

503
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: And at the Four Seasons in Nashville, they also have

504
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: like living quarters. So they have a hotel which is

505
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: really big, and then on top of one side of

506
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: the hotel, they have like condos in suits, and on

507
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: the top they originally built them like four years ago,

508
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: and they were gonna sell them all. You know, some

509
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: you could get for like a one bedroom or two bedrooms,

510
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: you know, a million bucks or a couple of million bucks.

511
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: And on the top was the Penhouse suite and it

512
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: originally listed for thirty six million dollars. I guess it

513
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: was enormous and obviously didn't sell. So what they did

514
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: is they split it in two and they ended up

515
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: selling them both off. They're still I think, I mean

516
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: thousands of square feet like enormous Penhouse suites. And one

517
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: of the guys that bought one of them, like the

518
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: person wouldn't really give me all the details, but one

519
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: of the persons they said, because they put it out

520
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: there publicly, is the dude that owns Raising Canes, Todd Graves.

521
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: I think his name is LSU guy, you know, hangs

522
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: out with a bunch of the LSU guys. And they

523
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: just put one in downtown Nashville that is crushing, and

524
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: that's why I think he wanted to purchase them. Obviously

525
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: Raised Canes do him pretty well. But I was thinking about, like,

526
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for while there is no

527
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: doubt about it in any building, the nicest penhouse suite.

528
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't care how ugly their games are. They just

529
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: figure it out. They just figured it out. And I

530
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: was texting with a buddy on the Chiefs because I

531
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: was like, did you guys go back to Kansas City.

532
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: He's like, no, we went to Vegas because they're playing

533
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders this week. We're staying there. And we were

534
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: texting about Karlovskis and Trent McDuffie. And they drafted those

535
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: guys right the year that they traded Tyreek Hill. So

536
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: in the year they traded Tyreek Kill, they had two

537
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: first round picks and they took Trent McDuffie and Karlossis.

538
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: Obviously ninety five is their most talented and best defensive player,

539
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: but no one plays as hard. And I mean those

540
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: are their next two players, Karlovski's and McDuffie, in whatever

541
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: order you want. Those guys through three seasons, they have

542
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: two Super Bowl rings, your one and your two, and

543
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: in your three, they're yet to lose a game. Like

544
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: think about their experience in the NFL compared to other

545
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: people in their like, guys that were just drafted to

546
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: the Panthers, you know, guys that were just drafted to

547
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: like the Giants. These guys are like, yeah, just win rings.

548
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: You just never lose. What's the NFL experience like for you? Like,

549
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: what an incredible place to play football right now? As

550
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: the Kansasy Chiefs. Honestly, if the penhouse still existed up there,

551
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: thirty six million, that'd be theirs. I think the Ravens

552
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: are right there as well. I mean they're penouse. Sweet.

553
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: I feel more confident these last couple, like last three weeks,

554
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: watching Derrick Henry really get going. I'm like, wait, they

555
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: have a guy who just a couple of years ago

556
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: carried a franchise not only to the playoffs, but like

557
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: winning playoff games. And he looks exactly the same. Obviously

558
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: he's three or four years older, but he's playing the

559
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: exact same. And you put him on that team with

560
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: those offensive weapons, with that quarterback and their defensive culture.

561
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm starting to like him as much

562
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: as I did last year because of that guy. That's

563
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: just an element like the JK. Dobbins, the Gus Edwards,

564
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: all the type guys they've had good players and in

565
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: their scheme it's worked, but in the playoffs it's slowed

566
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: down a little bit. I've seen that guy in the

567
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: playoffs run for two bills, carry his team do playoff

568
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: victories on the road and to the AFC Championship game.

569
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: So I think the Ravens are right there with Kansas City.

570
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Detroit's interesting, right, they got to have a penthouse sweet too,

571
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: But you lose Hutchinson and then today you get Jamison

572
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: Williams suspended. Now it's hard to watch them and go.

573
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: They're gritty, they're tough, their coach has proven to be really,

574
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: really good. Their quarterback is playing at an insanely high level. Offensively,

575
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: when Williams is on the field, they literally have it all,

576
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: even removing him for a couple games. Not the end

577
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: of the world, but like you're starting to see a

578
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: little like they're getting thrown a little adversity here. I

579
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I just saw schefferd we I don't exactly

580
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: know what's two games, Like, is that some drugs or

581
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: is that what he's doing PDEs He weighs like one

582
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pounds. But I think those are

583
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: clearly the three best teams in the league, and then

584
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to go down a couple floors

585
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: and there's just a large group of everyone else. Of

586
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: all the other good teams, I would put the Packers,

587
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I would put Minnesota. I think Minnesota actually showed pretty

588
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: well even in the loss. Like I told Colin the

589
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: other day, I think the Packers are good, and I

590
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: think if they can just corall Jordan a little bit

591
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: because his freelance throwing balls all over the map. Now

592
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: he's thrown enough touchdowns to make up for it. But

593
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: that can cost you, as it did last year in

594
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I'm still a believer, and there are

595
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: a couple more weeks of playing good football. Way for

596
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: me putting them in that group. I think the Bills,

597
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: just when the dust settles, are gonna have twelve or

598
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: thirteen wins, and they're at the point now where they're

599
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: going to cruise to their division. Right Miami stinks. I

600
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: mean they have one win and now two is coming

601
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Back's just keep our fingers crossed he doesn't get KO'ed.

602
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: The Patriots are worse or equally as bad, and they're

603
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: actually worse if Tua plays, assuming the Tua can stay

604
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: on the field, and the Jets are two and five,

605
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: so I mean we're a couple of weeks away from

606
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: the Bills having like a five game lead in that division.

607
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh's interesting, Like I saw a lot of people

608
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: commenting on stuff like Middleguff Russell Wilson, like, yeah, he

609
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: threw some lollipop passes. He's maybe better than justin fields

610
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: as a passer, bars not very high. But did we

611
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: take away from that game that he's like a good

612
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: player because I didn't necessarily. I also didn't take away

613
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: like I'm judging these teams on like how can you

614
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs? Like could Kevin O'Connell and Brian

615
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Flores if Sam Darnold plays like he did the other

616
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 1: day win playoff games against the other good teams? I

617
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: believe they can't. Can the Packers and the Lions I'll

618
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 1: beat each other one? Could the Ravens beat these other teams?

619
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: I do think they could do that. We know the

620
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs scant. I do believe the Bills, if healthy, which

621
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: has been a problem for them, can win these playoff games.

622
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: We've seen it happen, Like is Russell Wilson beating these teams.

623
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: Tomlin's awesome. He deserves a lot of credit for that move,

624
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: and when asked about it all after the Sunday night

625
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: football game, he said, that's why I'm so highly compensated.

626
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: Thanks peace, and he walked out great line. But like,

627
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: they just include Pickens more in the game because he's

628
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: just throwing it up. And if their running backs are

629
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: healthy and their offensive line is healthy, they're gonna run

630
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: the ball and play defense. But I don't view Russell

631
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: Wilson's like the equals all these other Cats Mahomes. I

632
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: don't care how shitty Mahome stats are Lamar and Josh Allen,

633
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: Like there's a pretty wide gap there. And obviously the

634
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: Texans have a bunch of injuries, but they get Nico back.

635
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: Like I would take my chances with CJ. Stroud in

636
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: a game, Like who are you picking c J. Stroud

637
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson and all these teams are? You know,

638
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: the Texas would be a home field because they're gonna

639
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: win the division, Like Steelers aren't winning that division. Steelers,

640
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: like we have the same record. Yeah, I know, we'll

641
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: see how it plays out. And I'm not a Steeler

642
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: hater like I have nothing but admiration for their culture

643
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: and everything. But it does get back to upgrade over

644
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, right, the Kenny Picketts, the

645
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolphs. I'm not miss Trubisky, but it's not like

646
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: you feel great about Russell Wilson playing these other like

647
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: this crew of all time great quarterbacks, like these guys

648
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: are good. Mahomes obviously is already a Hall of Famer.

649
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: Lamar is a Hall of Famer. Josh Allen is going

650
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer. Now Russell I think

651
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: I have no problem if he gets in, but that's

652
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: because of work he did five years and previous, not

653
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: the guy that we've seen recently. And uh, the outhouse

654
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: is pretty ugly. I would compare the outhouse when whenever

655
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: I go back to California and I land in Sacramento.

656
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: I used to land in Oakland when I lived there,

657
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: and you'd go through a bunch of homeless encampments and

658
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: these aren't just like a tent. This is like a

659
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: tent for blocks, just blocks. It's like, God, some of

660
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: these actually don't look that bad. I mean they've done

661
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot of work. I mean they spend a lot

662
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: of time building these things up. That to me is

663
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: some of the bottom level of the NFL. We always

664
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: have bad teams in the NFL, and someone hit me

665
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: up on the mail bag, like, are some of these

666
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: teams some of the play and coaching worse than normal?

667
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, possibly possibly. Dave Canalis and the Carolina Panthers,

668
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: girod Mao and the New England Patriots. The Las Vegas

669
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: Raiders aren't leaking oil like they've broken down on the

670
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: side of the road. Miami is a little weird because

671
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're very good if Tua had stayed healthy,

672
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: but they would not be a two win team. I

673
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: thought they were more likely to be like that six

674
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: or seven, like under it, you know, disappoint just because

675
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: I didn't think their defense was good, their offensive line

676
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: was bad, probably lose some close games, be a big

677
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: swing from like ten to you know, seven, but still

678
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season they would be more

679
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: than serviceable on a weekly basis. So it's hard. If

680
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: Tua is coming back and he can play in games,

681
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: they are going to be on a different level than

682
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: these other teams. Like if Tua was healthy and he

683
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: just played against Indy. Indy loses that game, they don't win.

684
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: Every Colts fan would agree with me. The way Anthony

685
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: Richardson was playing the other team, that is really really

686
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: difficult to watch, and it's just like, you know, I

687
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: appreciate this guy changing his health. He looks fantastic relative

688
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: to what he looked like last couple years. Brian day Ball,

689
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: I actually think for the most part removing the game

690
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: on against the Eagles where his offense didn't have a

691
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: chance because they couldn't block a soul because their offensive

692
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: linemen were hurt, He's done a pretty good job calling plays.

693
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: I've actually been impressed with Brian Daball. Their defense for

694
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks was playing their ass off. But

695
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: that team's about the spiral, it really is. You lose

696
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: your left tackle, you know, you can bench Daniel Jones,

697
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: who's been atrocious. What was the stat yesterday that Saquon

698
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: Barkley has more touchdowns that met like this season than

699
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I think I saw a quote today from

700
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball that Malik Neighbors was open all game long.

701
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: Maybe Neighbors might have said made a comment or something

702
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: after the game and he's like let's I don't mind

703
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: him being mad. He was opened and their quarterback play

704
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: is really atrocious. And when your team is that bad

705
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: on offense, I mean that putrid, even if your defense

706
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: is playing their balls off. And I think Brian Burns

707
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: has played really, really hard. We know Dexter Lawrence is

708
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: really like their defense has tried you. Eventually, just you

709
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: get worn out. You kind of give up, not necessarily

710
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: like with effort, but just because like, what's this all?

711
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: What's the point of this? We've all done a job,

712
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: whether it be a company, whether it be when we're young,

713
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: for like our dad forces us to do something. You're like,

714
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: this is pointless. Why am I doing this? You get screamed,

715
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: keep doing it. It's like okay, but you're making no progress.

716
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: And that's what happens to bad teams when they have

717
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: a unit that is just not capable of functioning. And

718
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: to me, that's the Giants offense. And they have a

719
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: quarterback problem. Now they have a left tackle problem. They're

720
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to run the ball. They're gonna

721
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: be really really bad. Now the difference, I would say

722
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: the Giants, you would obviously take day Ball over Canalis

723
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: over Mayo over. You know, the Titans are pretty bad too,

724
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: but same type deal. Quarterback is just a joke. I

725
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: mean a little like the Giants. Their defense for a

726
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: large portion of games this year has played really well

727
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: in their when your quarterback position cannot function, like we're

728
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: not asking for Lamar Jackson is prime or in college

729
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: like Shador Sanders. Right now, we just need functional quarterback

730
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: play just to give us a chance, right and some

731
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: of these teams at the bottom rung just don't have

732
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: guys that just can't play, just can't play now. Mason Rudolph,

733
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, you know, is an upgrade over Will Levis,

734
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 1: who's injured right now. But the bottom of this league

735
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: where we are going to have a battle, and I

736
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: mean a battle for the services of Shadoor Sanders. Okay,

737
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: it's time for a little mail bag at John middlecoff

738
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: is the Instagram fire in those dms, get your questions

739
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: answered on the show. Right before I was gonna record

740
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: rap sheet, I saw on Instagram that Brandon i U

741
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: has torn his ACL his MCL and there is potentially

742
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: more damage. I really don't think there's any way to

743
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: sugarcoat this. It's a disaster. They just gave Brandon Ayuk

744
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: I think seventy five million dollars. Obviously they invested him

745
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: to be their number one wide receiver of the future

746
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: and to have a very very bad knee injury. It's

747
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: one thing when you just tear your ACL, but ACL

748
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: MCL and more damage. Devastating for him, devastating for the

749
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, just devastating. This season has been, let's

750
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: face it, kind of a disaster. There have been games

751
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: they should have won but they lost. And at the

752
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: end of the day, there's a bottom line business. You

753
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: win or you lose. It feels like right now the

754
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I remember when in like twenty sixteen,

755
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: I finally bought a piece of property, bought a condo,

756
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: and two months later I lost my job and I

757
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: thought to myself, I'm in a lot of trouble here.

758
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: I could barely qualify for the loan at the time,

759
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: and I remember putting on a bold face whenever I

760
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: was like around my parents or anyone I knew, But

761
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: those first six months, I was pretty nervous. I'm not

762
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna am I gonna be one of those statistics that's

763
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: like got his He had to give the condo back

764
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: to the bank. Didn't even make it a year. But

765
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a grinder, not worried, not not afraid to, uh,

766
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, dig myself out of the mud. I bet

767
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people have been there in life. It

768
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a house or a condo. It

769
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: could be a business. It could be a car. You

770
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: buy something, you invest in something, and then it immediately

771
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: goes wrong. And for a lot of us, if you

772
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: put you know, a large portion of the cash available

773
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: that you have into that thing and things get bad

774
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: in your professional life, it is scary and it cannot

775
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: be good. I mean it can be really really bad, right,

776
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: You can go under, you can lose those things. So

777
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: it can ruin people's lives. And these injuries and these

778
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: contracts are ruining the forty nine ers because these guys

779
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: are injured. Brandon Ayuk is now gone, Christian McCaffrey is

780
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: who the hell knows when this guy's coming back. Drake

781
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: greenlot towards Achilles in the Super Bowl, Whu Funga is

782
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: a really good player, is just injured now towards acl

783
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: and now he's got multiple other injuries. I mean, hell,

784
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: their rookie wide receiver was literally shot, and I think

785
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch said. The doctor looked at

786
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: him and said ninety eight out of one hundred people,

787
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: which is like common sense. If you just go, yeah,

788
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: this guy got shot in the chest, he'd be like dead.

789
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: It's the first thing you would think of. He said,

790
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: ninety eight out one hundred. Should I go ninety nine

791
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: out of one hundred? That's what the doctor says. When

792
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: we get chess wounds, it's usually death. And you know,

793
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's crazy. Feels like the season from Hell

794
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: right now that there's really no I don't want to

795
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: say the IUK injury was icing on the cake, but

796
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: it is the avalanche growing steam, and a lot of

797
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: people have been there financially. When you make some when

798
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: you make some moves and then all of a sudden,

799
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't have that job anymore, or the company that

800
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: I started is about to go under. We're in trouble.

801
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: That's how the forty nine ers have to feel right now.

802
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: Not that their business is gonna go under or the

803
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are gonna go belly up, but this

804
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: season might not be their time. It was hard to

805
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: watch that game yesterday against Kansas City, who just owns

806
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: the Niners. I mean, you talk about ownage. My guy,

807
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: Mike Kruco, the Giants San Francisco Giants play by play

808
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: announcer has a term when a pitcher he's a former

809
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: pitcher cal Polygrad, dominates a hitter. He calls it ownage.

810
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: And that is what Andy Reid, Patrick Mahone and Steve

811
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: Spagnolas specifically have over the forty nine ers own Nige

812
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: and yesterday was carnage. It really was. And I get

813
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm sure we'll read something like why is

814
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: everyone slurping Mahomes? Look at Mahomes is so overrated. I

815
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I've been watching football for thirty plus years,

816
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, his stats aren't great. He's not gonna win

817
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: the MVP this year. But every time against the forty

818
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: nine Ers when he had to make a play, he

819
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: made a spectacular play. So you can box score scout

820
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: all you want. I know, when the chips are on

821
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: the table and he's got to make something happen in

822
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: a random game against the forty nine Ers or the

823
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game on the road against the Baltimore Ravens,

824
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: the greatest defense since like the lob Seattle Seahawks. That

825
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: fucker's gonna do it, so like we can nitpick him.

826
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, stats aren't great. He's throwing some picks, I

827
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 1: know on third and seven when it's fifteen to twelve

828
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: and I need to, you know, separate and score a

829
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: touchdown not a field goal, to give my team, you know,

830
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: some separation in the game. He's gonna do it because

831
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: he always does it. And he did it again, you know,

832
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the forty nine ers as they were

833
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: completely imploding. And I do think, and I said this

834
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: to Colin, Kyle needs to take some notes from Andy Reid,

835
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: who has just adapted throughout his career. You know, you

836
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: got to be a chameleon. You can't just be a

837
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: one trick pony. And his offense when it's humming is

838
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: awesome because he's running the ball. In his entire pass

839
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: game is off the run. But when Jay Gruden came on,

840
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: for those of you that listened to it, what did

841
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: he say. And it's not like Jay Gruden has a

842
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: bone to pick. He thinks Kyle's run schemes elite. Hell,

843
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: he ran it, but the dropback passing game is so

844
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 1: connected that if it's not working, it doesn't really work.

845
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: And obviously perty played poorly. I mean, that was a

846
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing performance. Given the opponent, and given you know

847
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: how big the game was, you could have those stinkers.

848
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: It'd be nicer to have it against a crappy team

849
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: where you could still pull it out. You have a

850
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: stinker against Kansas City. I don't care. If Patrick mahomes

851
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,959
Speaker 1: for has eight picks, you're probably not winning the game.

852
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: And I also put the there was a moment in

853
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: the game where there was his through three interceptions. The

854
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: second interception was to a guy named Ronnie Bell, who

855
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: was in the game because Juwan Jennings injured. IUK obviously

856
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: had ripped his knee apart and debo, you know. But

857
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: the second pick came on a bad route, clearly by

858
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. And like I put that interception squarely

859
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: on Kyle Shanahan because earlier this game, the forty nine

860
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: ers lost the game when they played Ronnie Bell, and

861
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: he had two of the worst drops you will ever

862
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: see in the NFL. This isn't high school football, this

863
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: isn't college football. This is the pros and when you're

864
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: like the fifth wide receiver. And I would say this

865
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: for any team, good or bad, and you get the

866
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to play on offense or defense, and you've been

867
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: on the team for a while, like rookies, I give

868
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: you a little more. I give you more grace when

869
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: you've been in league for a couple of years, two

870
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: or three, you know the offense, and then you are

871
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: giving your shot and it goes really, really poorly. I

872
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: have to think about cutting you and putting you on

873
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: the practice squad. You now are a liability to me

874
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: on game day, and most good teams will tell you

875
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: got to be constantly churning the bottom of your roster

876
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: right the core of your team. Fortyish guys aren't really

877
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: moving and shaking unless there's an injury. They're on the roster.

878
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: They're kind of the equivalent on scholarship. But to me,

879
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: those last couple guys on each position group, you know,

880
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 1: maybe your last dB, your last wide receiver, your last

881
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: running back. If they do get the opportunities in games

882
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: and they have been on the practice squad, they have

883
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: been on the big roster for a couple of years,

884
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: and they finally get thrown into the fire and they

885
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: have no shot to contribute. You got to remove them.

886
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: This is a business and you've got to churn that

887
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: spot and the forty nine ers. And Kyle Shanahan ultimately

888
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: has in his contract he's the boss. Like ultimately, John

889
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: Lynch does not have decision making power. If he wants

890
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: to cut or trade a player, he has to get

891
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: the oka from Kyle. And wide receiver is Kyle's baby.

892
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 1: He's a former college wide receiver. And they put Ronnie

893
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: Bell back out there, and clearly by all accounts from

894
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: the football guys. I'm a football guy, but I'm talking

895
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: like quarterbacks and you know people that truly know the

896
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: where you got to break off the out route on

897
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: that specific play, it's on the wide receiver. Okay, fine,

898
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: that wide receiver never should have been out there. Because

899
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: you can steal a million guys on practice squad, you

900
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: can elevate someone from your own practice squad that is

901
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: on management. Obviously, perty played like shit, that's on party,

902
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: But that specific play I have to put on Kyle

903
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: Shanahan because that player should not be on the field.

904
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: You're playing a dynasty. You were playing, by far, the

905
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: greatest coach in the NFL. You could argue, by far

906
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinator in the NFL. The team that

907
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: constantly beats your ass, a team that's you've played twice

908
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Hell, just based on statistics, the

909
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: type games. They were tight games and fourth quarter leads.

910
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: You flip a coin, you should have a minimum, have one,

911
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: and they got him both. And you're rolling that guy

912
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: out And I understand he got injuries. He can't be dressed.

913
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: He cannot be dressed in that situation. I'm looking at

914
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the guys they dress, who obviously aren't as

915
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: good as their starters. They still can rely on them,

916
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: definitely on defense, but specifically on offense. It's hard for

917
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: me to call it a full embarrassment. He's had some

918
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: embarrassing moments. I think that the team's let in. Kyle's

919
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: the boss, you know, Kyle's like Andy Belichick. Everything's running

920
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: through him. Arizona and the Rams loss were embarrassing. Yesterday

921
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: was more just like organizational failure. And I don't know,

922
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl hangover karma or whatever they call it. With

923
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: the injuries, with the mysterious sickness, Uh, it was crazy.

924
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but you still can win Eagles. You know,

925
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: it's funny, and they kicked the Giants ass that that

926
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: was that was just a dominant win. But I did

927
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: see some comments from some of their players and Sirianni

928
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 1: more of the players than Sirianni, I thought. Sirianni answered, fine,

929
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: you know, taking kind of whearing last week. But some

930
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: of the players taking a victory lap over some like

931
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,479
Speaker 1: former Eagles players that are on post game shows. It's like, guys,

932
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: let's I think we need to pump the brakes a

933
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 1: little bit, you guys, because one thing I saw Brandon

934
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: Graham or I forget the exact player, said that did

935
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: we not beat him by enough this time? Guys? I

936
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't think people being disappointed from you guys coming

937
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: off of by struggling against the Browns. Is that egregious? Now?

938
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: They clearly looked a lot better against the Giants. I mean,

939
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: they destroyed them. The Giants got serious issues. Belichick, I

940
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: mean just Belichick said something to down McAfee that I

941
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: saw a cliff that Pat post on social media. You know,

942
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: Dable's one of his guys, coach for the Pats, kind

943
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 1: of dropped one of those. Yeah, you know what. Obviously,

944
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: the owner wanted to keep Saquan. I think Dave Ball

945
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: did too, but the GM wanted to go in different direction.

946
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy five yards at home, that's when

947
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: the owner wanted to keep. But he's like, hey, people say,

948
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm metal, I'm not gonna meddle. I'm gonna let you

949
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: do your thing. And then he looks like that. It's tough.

950
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: Giants are bad. He see. Here's a question question for

951
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: the mailback. Do you believe the sports media is told

952
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: to Mahomes and the Chiefs because it's good for the

953
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: league in ratings to have a dynasty. I've watched football

954
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years, and my eyes tell me he's

955
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: not the best quarterback in the league, and consistently the

956
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: media insists to us that he is. This year, he

957
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,439
Speaker 1: has six touchdowns and eight interceptions and somehow the front

958
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: runner for MVP. Many examples are commetters and media praising him.

959
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: But the game against the Niners, they were going on

960
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: about how he just takes the sun in his eyes

961
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: on the bench, eye test, Alan and Burrow are better quarterbacks.

962
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: I mean I watched some of Joe Burrow yesterday. Didn't

963
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: look great. Listen he's not having an MVP seison. His

964
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: statistics are not good. But the point of this whole

965
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: thing is to win. It's the whole point. It's the

966
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: point of the draft, that's the point of free agency,

967
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: that's the point of training camp. So when you get

968
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: seventeen of these things, it's to play winning football. And

969
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs playing so many of these close games,

970
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: because their personnel because of injuries, is not great on

971
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: offense and there are a defensive lad team, they just

972
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 1: need him to come through. Now he's turned the ball over.

973
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: I think he'd be the first tell you too many

974
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: times this year, but as someone with money on the

975
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: Niners and was rooting for the forty nine ers, there

976
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a moment in that game in the second half

977
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: where I thought he wasn't gonna come through. I've been

978
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: watching sports now for thirty plus years. That includes a malt,

979
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: not just football. I have been watching football professionally now

980
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: for fifteen And here's the other thing. And you see

981
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: this a lot in the NBA, like he's kind of

982
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: at the point. We've seen him do it enough in

983
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: the biggest moments, and those games are worth ten regular

984
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: season games. So he has a shitty month, I don't care.

985
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: I've seen him as a dog on the road in Baltimore,

986
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: play the league MVP and outplay him thoroughly. That's like

987
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: you get equity built up when Tiger Woods has five

988
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: weeks in his prime of not playing. Great people don't

989
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: go overrated overrated because you earn right over time that

990
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: you get the benefit of out Steph Curry's had a

991
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: lot of shitty games in his career, sneaky for one

992
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: of the great players of all time, turns the ball

993
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: over a lot. You can watch him on a random night,

994
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: and I mean especially the Warriors over the last five

995
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: years post Durant, even the title team in twenty two,

996
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: and you know, for a long time I've watched I

997
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: had the last couple of years since I've been in Arizona,

998
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: not as much, but I went for probably seven you know,

999
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years before Durant, a couple of years after.

1000
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: I didn't miss many Warrior games. And he can have

1001
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: these games where it's this ball is flying all over

1002
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: the map. He can have weeks, he can have bad

1003
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: shooting slumps. Once you earn the equity of like I'm

1004
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: a fucking champion, turn the lights on, give me a

1005
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: big game, and dare you to bet against me? I

1006
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: dare you to do it? Like, I'm sorry, I don't

1007
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: put that much stock. It's the thing with Josh Allen

1008
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: and Lamar it's like there's a lot of pressure on

1009
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: them to win games in January. They're just this. I mean,

1010
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: they're just this. Like Jared Goff has been a dramatically

1011
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: better playoff performer than Lamar Jackson. Now you could argue

1012
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: Jared Goff might win an MVP this year. And if

1013
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: the Lions were to win a Super Bowls thinking about

1014
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: that today, it'd be like one of the great kind

1015
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: of great would be strong one of the crazier careers ever,

1016
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: be like Maddy Ice but with a Super Bowl but

1017
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: also had to change teams because his coach dot he sucked.

1018
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I part of the like, for example,

1019
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: what you're saying with the sun in his eyes, I

1020
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: think they're just there's nothing much to talk about, you know,

1021
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: between plays sometimes and they look over there at that

1022
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: side of Levi Stadium, the sun is directly into you.

1023
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: And they gave the example of you know, the Chiefs

1024
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: don't bring shades. They just have the backup stand in

1025
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: front of them for the offensive Lineman and Mahomes just

1026
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: sitting there. I thought they were kind of being silly

1027
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: and kidding less than being serious. It's not like he's

1028
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: Hooperman and taken in the sun. And again, when you

1029
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: say media like, if you're in business with the NFL,

1030
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: then yeah, I don't know what they tell you, but

1031
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of independent people people

1032
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: that have no association with the NFL. Like I'm in

1033
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: business of talking about football, but I have no direct

1034
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: business relationship to the NFL. I could say whatever I want.

1035
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I want the NFL to do well, right,

1036
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: because the better that the more people that watch them,

1037
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: the bigger my audience is. You know, in theory it's

1038
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: not directly correlated. But I think some times that type

1039
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: stuff gets overshadowed. I think actually a lot of media

1040
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: people don't quite understand the dynamics of the business, right.

1041
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: You know. Part of it is a lot of them

1042
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: push back at the bigger networks because they're told what

1043
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: to talk about, what rates, they don't really want to

1044
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: talk about it. That's the unique part about our platform

1045
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: is I can kind of talk about whatever I want now.

1046
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: I got a pretty good idea of what works and

1047
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: what doesn't. But yeah, I don't know why what I

1048
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: met by going on that little rant. Hey, John, it's

1049
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: my friends Jake's twenty second birthday. He's a huge fan.

1050
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: He actually listens to it religiously and echoes most of

1051
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: your takes. I was wondering if you would be willing

1052
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: to give him a quick birthday shout happy birthday, Jake. Ideally,

1053
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: if you could say from one ball knower to Jake,

1054
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: from one bald knower to another, twenty two bro, got

1055
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: the prime of your life. It's as good as it gets.

1056
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: Enjoy it. All of a sudden you look up and go,

1057
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm forty fucking years old. I've been out of high

1058
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: school over twenty years. And then you realize life only

1059
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: gets better as you get older. Keep telling yourself that

1060
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: at least I'm a lifelong Jacksman. Every time you speak

1061
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: about us, it's always the coaches or Trevor. Would really

1062
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: love to hear your assessment of Brian Thomas Jr. He

1063
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: doesn't get much coverage playing down in Jacksonville, but I

1064
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: think he's as good as a guy guy we've drafted before.

1065
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: Obviously he looks excellent. It is pretty nuts. I guess

1066
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: it's not because their offense was historically awesome. Brian Thomas

1067
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: Junior has a chance to be, I would say, over

1068
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: the course of time, a top ten wide receiver. He

1069
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: did have a bad drop two weeks ago in the

1070
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: end zone, but he's been It's hard to watch them

1071
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: and not see a guy, you know, the speed, the athleticism,

1072
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: the playmaking. He's not quite Melik Neighbors, but he's I

1073
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: don't think I quite valued him enough when he was

1074
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: at LSU. But think about LSU's offense. They had Molik Neighbors,

1075
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: him and Jaden Daniels with two NFL tackles. Last year,

1076
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: they basically had the Joe Burrow offense, like Jamar Chase

1077
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. I mean that one's we'll see if those

1078
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: guys become that. But you know what I mean. I

1079
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: mean those one guy was drafted six, the other guys

1080
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,959
Speaker 1: drafted whatever twenty third, and they both immediately like, damn,

1081
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: these guys are good. I even saw Brian Dave all

1082
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: the day was like, yeah, Milik Neighbors was open all

1083
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: the game along probably a big reason why DJ got benched. Yeah,

1084
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty excited about Brian Thomas Jr. After watching

1085
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Perty on Sunday, it's become clear to me that he

1086
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: isn't a franchise quarterback. Don't get me wrong. I love

1087
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: the guy and appreciate his story, but his physical limitations

1088
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: become so clear against these top defenses that play tight

1089
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: man coverage and force the quarterback to make tight window throws.

1090
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: And watching Kyle's play calling and listening to his pressers,

1091
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I know he thinks the same thing. Teams like the

1092
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Lions had no choice to pay their guy

1093
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: because their management didn't want to put their jobs in

1094
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: the hand of a rookie. But Kyle and John have

1095
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: that stability. Do you think Kyle ends up trading Brock

1096
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: and how much would the forty nine ers get for him?

1097
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Drew Aller would be perfect for Kyle. Uh, you know,

1098
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: his value actually wouldn't be great because he's up for

1099
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: a new contract, right, So it's who's trading. Would someone

1100
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: trade a one for Brock Purty and then give him

1101
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars? I guess you never say never

1102
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: call the Raiders, but I would doubt it. His value

1103
01:01:54,320 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: to the Niners is infinitely more than to someone else. Right,

1104
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: It's like, think about if you live in a home

1105
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: that you like, that value of that home, especially if

1106
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you've got a good interest rate, is worth a lot

1107
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: to you. Even if someone knocked and offered thirty percent

1108
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: above what you could get, You're like, I don't know,

1109
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Like this is just easy. So when you look at

1110
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: the Niner situation, it's kind of an easy situation because

1111
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: this guy knows the offense. They've won a lot of

1112
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: games with him. But like you said, when they play

1113
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: top defenses. Last year, the Browns kind of embarrassing. The

1114
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens not good yesterday really bad. I have been

1115
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: a huge, pretty supporter, like you said, the guy, his

1116
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: personal story, what he stands for, how tough he is,

1117
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: how clutch he's been. But there are some eye opening

1118
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: moments that you go which we know and I've always

1119
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: said this, like hearing him do Mahomes, Alan Lamar Herbert,

1120
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: those physical guys, Like he's not those guys, but can

1121
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: he be the best version of like the golf Dak

1122
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and kind of that crew. And then you watch days

1123
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: like yesterday, You're like, God, he's not as like it

1124
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: wasn't there, and that consistently happened. So my counter is always,

1125
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: why do you have to pay him after this year?

1126
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Why what's the rush? You do not have to He's

1127
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: got one more year. It's like, well he makes no money.

1128
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Welly see, he's got Ariatt commercials, he's got John Deere commercials.

1129
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Pretty's quite a little farmer. But he's making a lot

1130
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: of money now, a ton of money off the field.

1131
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: That's the great part about being starting quarterback for these

1132
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: big brands in the NFL. You can parlay it immediately,

1133
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: and he has. So it's like, to me, I don't

1134
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: feel comfortable just giving out those numbers, like you know

1135
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: what yesterday became. I text someone this, that's a fifty

1136
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: five million dollar roster on offense. Got Ricky Piersoll, you

1137
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: got Chris Conley, you got Kittle, Yt Trent, you got

1138
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason. I mean, that's welcome to the league. I

1139
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: mean that's look at what Josh Allen was playing with

1140
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: before Amari came. You don't just get you know, it's

1141
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: like got Randy Moss, I got Debos, I got Kelsey

1142
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: and Kittle. That's not the way it works. One injury

1143
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're looking. I'm telling I'm looking

1144
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: at Maria. I'm like, who are these guys in the

1145
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: cheap How are they kicking the Niners ass with these guys?

1146
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: She's like, where's Kelsey? I'm like, hey, just kind of

1147
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: a role player right now? Who's that running back? Oh?

1148
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: This this guy that was really good then he was

1149
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: out of the league and he's kind of old and

1150
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: Andy thought he was immature and had some issues, so

1151
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: they got rid of him. But he's mature. They brought

1152
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: him back and all of a sudden, he's given him

1153
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty two carries me. He's running the ball right down

1154
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers rope. It's like, what is going on?

1155
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: I just think I'm not you know some of these

1156
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the most cliche thing to say

1157
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: for people to talk about sports, like this guy needs

1158
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: to get his back, deserves his back. I don't care

1159
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: not my money. I don't give a shit either way.

1160
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: You get paid awesome, someone doesn't want to pay it

1161
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: whatever it's on the teams, but I have never won.

1162
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: That's like, if you have any question marks. That was

1163
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: my thing with Dak, Like when he first signed the

1164
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: contract five years ago or whatever, one sixty. I did

1165
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: think it was pretty egregious. And he's still like he's

1166
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: never gonna be a top five guy, but he hovers

1167
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: between like six and twelve. So once you get that guy,

1168
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: it is and has proven it over and over and

1169
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: over again playshading the playoffs. But like the Cowboys were

1170
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: never gonna let him go. It's clear once they gave

1171
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: him that contract, Like why didn't you just sign the

1172
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: contract last year? Like it never even once you got

1173
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: once you traded for trailer ants and saw how terrible

1174
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: that guy was, because I think that was Jerry's hope,

1175
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna make Deck sweat this in the Dak

1176
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: season for a couple of days at training camp. Are

1177
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: you serious, Jerry that this is this is gonna make

1178
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: me looselye? Come on, Jerry and Dak had him by

1179
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: the balls and Dak was gonna win that negotiation. Like

1180
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: to me, the Brock thing is, yeah, he's done remarkable

1181
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: things for the Niners, been a huge upgrade from Jimmy Garoppolo.

1182
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: But I'm watching Jordan love like and this is I

1183
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: come from the school of traits and Purty is not

1184
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: the type guy when I was scouting that when I

1185
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: watch football now on Saturdays for a decade plus, that

1186
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm drawn to. I appreciate them and I admire, you know,

1187
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: guys that are good at football, but like I'm inclined

1188
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: to go with guys with the physical attributes who can

1189
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: also play. Right now, he was a seventh round pick,

1190
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: so he wasn't super high. But I'm watching Jordan love

1191
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: and going. And this is what I always say about

1192
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, even Mahomes this year, Like, yeah, I don't

1193
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: give a shit about interceptions. I don't care. Like obviously,

1194
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: if you're just throwing interception out of interception, we're winning

1195
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: five games on the season, Yeah, it's a problem. But

1196
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: throwing picks and won't winning, That's what I would think,

1197
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm a fan, Yeah, I can live with it

1198
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: as long as we win. The guy makes plays down

1199
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: the stretch. Again, Like one of my favorite players is

1200
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: a kid, was Brett Farr. Threw a lot of picks, sure,

1201
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: won a lot of games and slice up a lot

1202
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: of people when it mattered the most. So yeah, I

1203
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: mean you would love sometimes the Aaron Rodgers forty touchdowns

1204
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: and five picks. One thing I do love even if

1205
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: you're throwing picks big time plays, and there was a

1206
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: throw yesterday in that game, we're pretty underthrown. I'm watching

1207
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, he says, slinging that pill. My god, I

1208
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: was thinking about this today. I don't think Packer fans.

1209
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Maybe some do, but it'd be impossible to It's like,

1210
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: if you're just like born into a lot of money,

1211
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: how do you even value money? It's like everything's You've

1212
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: just been richer entire life from the moment you could think, talk, see,

1213
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: walk to as you age, and you've just been rich

1214
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: your entire life. You don't really know anything else. So

1215
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: like I do understand why a lot of those people

1216
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: struggle with just perspective, like if you never like, yeah,

1217
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: I can't afford that hotel, or I can't afford to

1218
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: buy that car, let alone that home, or go on

1219
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: that vacation or whatever. Like I always tell this to people,

1220
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: like the word vacation is such like a that is

1221
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: such a first class thing to throw around. The overwhelming

1222
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: majority of human beings just don't go on a lot

1223
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: of vacations. When I was a kid, like I can

1224
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 1: count on like one hand, and I'm not counting like

1225
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: driving up in high school with buddies to Tahoe for

1226
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: the weekend, spend the night somewhere. I'm talking like people

1227
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 1: go away for a week like that. That is not normal.

1228
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Most people don't do that. It's most people don't go

1229
01:08:55,240 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 1: from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers to draw love and

1230
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: even that, like, I don't know exactly what he's gonna

1231
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: ultimately be. It's like lafour gets mad when people are

1232
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 1: talking shit about the Farv that he throws too many

1233
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: picks like him, or everyone compares the way he moves

1234
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers. Do you know how crazy it is

1235
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: that you can be like, you know what, he's got

1236
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: bits and pieces of Farvin Rogers think how It's why

1237
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: I bet the house against it not working, because I went,

1238
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: what are the odds that they're gonna go from first

1239
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer to first ballot Hall of Famer

1240
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: to just a really good player, like a guy that's

1241
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: gonna make some Pro Bowls And you watch him. He's

1242
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 1: obviously a little radic at times, so is Brett, but man,

1243
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: that guy is an explosive player. Like you are so

1244
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: lucky you, I mean, what if you just want to

1245
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: ended up with and I'm not listen. I know this

1246
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: guy get drafted a lot higher in Jordan Love, but

1247
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm just using these players as examples. Like what if

1248
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: the guy that you would draft of the end of

1249
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 1: the first was just Tua, right, I mean something like that, right, Dak.

1250
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: Some of that level, like this guy's physical attributes and

1251
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: ability to push the ball down the field is insane,

1252
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: it really is. As the level of play in the

1253
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: NFL gone downhill significantly lately. As a lifelong I'm twenty seven,

1254
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 1: a lot of your life is pretty good, bro. Right,

1255
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: as you were coming into being a sports fan, they

1256
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: say most sports fans really it really like materializes inside

1257
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: like eight years old. So from for twenty years you

1258
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: saw the majority of this. I find myself constantly thinking

1259
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: ninety percent of Tom Brady led Patriot teams would absolutely

1260
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,919
Speaker 1: running through the current NFL with ease. Not many truly

1261
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 1: a middle linebackers or corners. So many poor offensive linemans,

1262
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: so many bad quarterbacks, so many poorly coached teams. I

1263
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: think that's the key. I honestly think that's the key. Now,

1264
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: we've always had bad coaches there, you know, there have

1265
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: been Jim tom Sulla's there have been Joe judges like that.

1266
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: There are bad coaches ten years ago, twenty thirty years ago.

1267
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: That's always been part of the deal. But I think

1268
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 1: one thing, if you look around this year, we have

1269
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: guys that probably never in a million years would have

1270
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: been a head coach twenty years ago because you would

1271
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:39,879
Speaker 1: have given it. You just would have been more inclined

1272
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: to give it to a longtime coach, right like a coordinator.

1273
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: You know, twenty years ago, Spags for example, would have

1274
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: got another job. So the Patriots are the Raiders for example,

1275
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: or let's use the Panthers. Girod Mail has coached five years,

1276
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: five years. Dave Candallas, he was a coordinator for one

1277
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 1: year and spent over a decade with Pete Carroll. And

1278
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: if look at his resume, like he wasn't it's kind

1279
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: of crazy. And they were running through offensive coaches and

1280
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: it's like it took him till the latter part of

1281
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: his time there to even get with the quarterbacks. Mayo

1282
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: was a little unique because he had played there, So

1283
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: I'd argue that we've seen Gerrod Mayo before. The Al

1284
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: Davis used to do things like that. But I think

1285
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: you see a lot of coaches that just wouldn't have

1286
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: been coaches, And we've seen it the last couple of

1287
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: years that like the Joe Judges of the world, the

1288
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Pearce was coaching high school team like six or

1289
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 1: seven years ago. It was not that long ago that

1290
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: he was the head coach at Long Beach. Polly, I

1291
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that the coaching I think like

1292
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: any industry, and it's not even just head coaching. I

1293
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 1: think it's position coaching. There is so much money in

1294
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: the business. I heard a story today about a linebacker

1295
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: coach who makes well over a million dollars. You understand,

1296
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I would say the majority of offensive line coaches in

1297
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the league are all making over one million dollars. Running back,

1298
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver coach, these guys are making, depending on how

1299
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: long you've been in the league, anywhere from six hundred

1300
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: grand to nine hundred grand. These jobs pay so much money.

1301
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: If you can get a coordinator job and sign like

1302
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: a three year, six million dollar deal like that changes

1303
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: the course of your family. And also if you have

1304
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: success doing that, all of a sudden you're signing a

1305
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: four year, thirty million dollar deal to be a head

1306
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: coach could be more than that depending on how much

1307
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: your value could be four or five or fifty. So

1308
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: whenever there's a business that is giving away that much money,

1309
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have. Frads, you're gonna have and one. It's

1310
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 1: a tough job, right, It's very time consuming. You're working

1311
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: during the season eighty ninety hour weeks. It's you have

1312
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: to be able to deal with people. Well, think about

1313
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the majority of humans. You know what percentage of them

1314
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: are great? Deal with people not most. So it's like

1315
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: just because you like no football does not mean you're

1316
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: a great people person. Then you got to be able

1317
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 1: to do a couple things like motivate coach in terms

1318
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: of teach and deal with your players who are much

1319
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,560
Speaker 1: younger than you that are having ups and downs in

1320
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: their life. It's a very very challenging job. I'm obviously

1321
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 1: very critical of the job, but I'll be the first

1322
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: to having spent a ton of time around these it

1323
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: is hard. I'm not acting like one I could do

1324
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 1: it too, I wouldn't want to do it. I'd have

1325
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,680
Speaker 1: no I don't care that much about helping people in

1326
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 1: terms of like I I couldn't do have a group

1327
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: if I was like an offensive line coach or wide

1328
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: receiver coach and pretend to care about the guys I

1329
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: didn't think were good enough. And part of coaching is

1330
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: doing that and having like a belief in someone that

1331
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: doesn't believe in themselves and honestly might not be good enough.

1332
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And some

1333
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: people are like addicted to that feeling. I'm the opposite

1334
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 1: of you couldn't that feeling does nothing to me. But

1335
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: like I said, I have a lot of admiration for

1336
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: how hard all these guys work, but they're highly compensated.

1337
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: Like this is not either expecting me to work ninety

1338
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: hours and they're paying me eighty k. You know, I

1339
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: understand this is not a nine to five, but shit,

1340
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 1: they're asking a lot of me. No, we're paying you premiums.

1341
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: And I just think the coaching. I also think the

1342
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: evolution of all these offenses and defenses. How could all

1343
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: these guys know this stuff as well? You're constantly moving teams,

1344
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 1: you're learning new stuff. I think a lot of people

1345
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 1: don't have an identity, you know, like the Shanahan guys

1346
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: all feel pretty confident running you know the base of

1347
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: the offense, right, I'm trying to think that the Pete

1348
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: Carroll guys, it's kind of outdated now, but for a

1349
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: long time really really understood that defense. Like that's the

1350
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: core philosophical belief. How to run that defense, how to

1351
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: develop that unit, to run that defense starting in OTAs,

1352
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: through training camp, through the through the season. So like

1353
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: you you completely have in your in your gut what

1354
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 1: you want to do. I think a lot of guys

1355
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:44,640
Speaker 1: are just kind of philosophically they float like, yeah, I

1356
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: did this, then I did that, Like well, what what

1357
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: is yours? Like what what have you mastered? What have

1358
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: you mastered? And in fairness, because of the profession, you're

1359
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: constantly getting fired. You got to take a job, You're

1360
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 1: moving all over the place. It's hard. There's a lot

1361
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 1: of luck involved. Like when you're twenty seven, did you

1362
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: get hired on Andy Reid's staff or Bill Belichick's staff

1363
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: or Mike Shanahan or you know Pete Carroll's, Cause if

1364
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: you get on the wrong staff, it's like, yeah, you know,

1365
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: Jim Tom Sulla gave me a call that derailed my career.

1366
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: Mail bag in the case of for example, sa Kwon

1367
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: Barkley going to the Eagles, who are in the same

1368
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: division as the Giants and they play each other a lot.

1369
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 1: Would he relay the Eagles game plan and strategies that

1370
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:34,719
Speaker 1: the Giants had when the Eagles are preparing for the Giants.

1371
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: Is there some kind of agreement that players won't share

1372
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: insider information about their former teams when they are traded

1373
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: two new teams. No, there isn't you know, having worked

1374
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: in radio, that there are clauses you had to sign

1375
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: your contract. I don't really have any proprietary information here obviously,

1376
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: besides like the podcast feed. But I'm sure a lot

1377
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: of you that work in different industries have competition clauses

1378
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: in football. Now, maybe he had to give, you know,

1379
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: these playbooks around the iPad, So maybe his team issued iPad.

1380
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: At the end of the season, he gives back. But

1381
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: think about what you just said. For example, so he

1382
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: could go tell the defense, this is how we've looked

1383
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: to attack you the last couple of years. Well, their

1384
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,879
Speaker 1: whole defense is new. It's a new scheme with Vic Fangio.

1385
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: So that's the thing. And I saw Belichick. Belichick's been

1386
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 1: on a heater lately. Today on McAfee. He was just

1387
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: letting it fly. You talk about a guy that does

1388
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: not care. Right now, this is all I ever want

1389
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: out of my Belichick's, my Manning's, my Brady's. It's like,

1390
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do this and get a mic infront

1391
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: of you, let it fly. Why do you care? Especially Bill? Bill,

1392
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: You've made so much money, you're headed straight to Canton.

1393
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: You got this twenty five year old girl on your arm,

1394
01:18:56,080 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: your living who gives you? I know you talked about

1395
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: all these people. I don't even need all of it.

1396
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Just give me like twenty five percent of it. Let

1397
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: it rip. And he's letting it go on the Jets.

1398
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: He was letting it fly on the Giants. It's like, yes,

1399
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: I can't stand the Matt Patricias is like, Matt, if

1400
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: you're not gonna say anything, and I mean anything, what

1401
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: is the point of all this? Why don't you just

1402
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: stay in the film room and feed Bill notes if

1403
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna, hey, say this. This scheme sucks because I

1404
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: know you believe that. I know you're thinking that, and

1405
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: I think more and more Bill's talking. He's like, Ea, shit,

1406
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm Bill freaking Belichick. Say whatever I want. It's why

1407
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: you know I thought Nick Saban on the Texas Georgia game,

1408
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: he flipped a coin to pick the team, and he

1409
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: claimed that he fell on Texas. I'm pretty sure he's

1410
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: picking Texas no matter what in that environment. And a

1411
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: lot of people I say this on social media, they're like,

1412
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? You think Nick cares? Well?

1413
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: I had a birdie tell me who's very in the

1414
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: loop in what goes on, not in just in the

1415
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: SEC but those specific programs that Kirby and Nick aren't

1416
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: super close anymore, even though that was literally his mentee. Well,

1417
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,879
Speaker 1: why do you think that is? Because Kirby, who helped

1418
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: Nick build Alabama from the ground, was his defensive coordinator

1419
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: and assistant head coach and right hand man, got there

1420
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 1: at seven o eight with him and built that fucker

1421
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: from the ground. Well, when he went to Georgia, what happened.

1422
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 1: Georgia quickly became Bama's equal, was quickly recruiting the exact

1423
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: same player and was landing a lot of guys that

1424
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: Nick would have landed. Like ultimately, Nicks in competition with them.

1425
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: So they're not quite as close is I think they

1426
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: portray and in a weird way maybe because they're like

1427
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: two p's in a pod, very similar people in this

1428
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: defensive guys. Maybe because Sarks an offensive guy and he's

1429
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: just a little more optimistic, happier. It feels like like

1430
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Nick like Sark more. Now maybe it's because he doesn't

1431
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: view Texas As like a Bama equal. I know they

1432
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: beat him last year, but I just mean just in

1433
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,679
Speaker 1: terms of programs, and now that Texas is in the SEC,

1434
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: it's probably it would be different. But at the time,

1435
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: like Georgia became his equal in the SEC, so it

1436
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: took a little shine off him. Like at the end

1437
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: of the day, like these fucking guys got big egos,

1438
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: big egos. So I'm Kirby smart, I go Nick. We

1439
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: have played a ton of times in the SEC championship game,

1440
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: we played the National Championship game. We have gone to

1441
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: war together. I'm pretty sure Kirby went to Miami with him.

1442
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Dolphins and you have to flip a

1443
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: coin on this one, Like I'm your guy. If I

1444
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: was Kirby, I'd be kind of pissed, Like Nick, you

1445
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: played me enough. You think Sark's a better coach than me?

1446
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 1: Do you do you believe that? Honestly? Do you believe

1447
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: that Nick, you're gonna flip a coin like these are

1448
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: my two guys. Now, Sark work for you for a

1449
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: couple of years. We spent like a decade together, my

1450
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: man winning Natties from scratch. When we showed up the team, bleww,

1451
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't Alabama football. It was a program that could

1452
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: barely get to six and six. That guy showed up

1453
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: when you know everyone was making money and now you

1454
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: act like we're all equals. I'd be pissed to if

1455
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: I was Kirby. I really would. I'd be like, screw you, man,

1456
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,759
Speaker 1: that's just like and guess what. You watched that postgame

1457
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: presser for Kirby. He was saying a lot of different things,

1458
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: but when he said the ESPN everyone picked him. He

1459
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: doesn't care who McAfee or Desmond Howard picked. He's going

1460
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: Nick Saban picked fucking Texas over us. That that was

1461
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: people like he flipped a coin. Bullshit. I have a

1462
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: hard time thinking. I just think Nick. I just think

1463
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: he was picking Texas no matter what, because in this

1464
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: weird way, who did he want to replace him? Last

1465
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: year when he retired? You know his number one pick

1466
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,839
Speaker 1: was Steve Sarkisian that's who he wanted. Now, obviously Kirby's

1467
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: not gonna leave George to go to Alabama. It's the

1468
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: same job, and Kirby went to George. But still like

1469
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 1: Nick has kind of this weird affinity for Sark, which

1470
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: again Sarks good Sarks. Sarks kind of grown on me.

1471
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: But as I said with Colin, and I just don't

1472
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: think this can be overstated enough, it's hard to be

1473
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: a tough guy when you're not a tough guy. Honestly,

1474
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: I didn't really knew or know. Like, my dad was

1475
01:23:57,680 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: a farmer, so I was around some guys who were

1476
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: I would quote unquote considered tough. But it's not like

1477
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: when I was a kid you would see them fighting

1478
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: and stuff. You just knew, like that guy's a tough guy.

1479
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: It's like that guy's been through some shit. But when

1480
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: I got to cal Paly, and I had never been

1481
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: around wrestlers and I got there in two thousand and three,

1482
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,759
Speaker 1: in my incoming class was a guy named Chad Mendez

1483
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: who went on to his senior year was one of

1484
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: the best wrestlers in the country. I think lost in

1485
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 1: the National Championship. Went on to Dana White in the UFC.

1486
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 1: He's fought Conner, he's fot Aldo and the guy one

1487
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: of my fraternity budd He's one of my good buddies.

1488
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Woshowski was basically I think he got into school,

1489
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: like he had to come to summer school or whatever

1490
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: and lived with these guys, all the wrestlers, because they

1491
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: had to do the same thing. And then once we

1492
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 1: became friends, he started telling us stories. And I didn't

1493
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: even know who Chad Bendez was, but about these guys

1494
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: in the summer going to like Pismo Beach where like

1495
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: twenty minutes where the school was away from the beach

1496
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: and getting into a fight with like a biker gang

1497
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: and Chad Mendez, this eighteen year old kid. And obviously

1498
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: by the end, by the time we're graduating, we had

1499
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 1: all seen Chad and the crew getting brawls yearly, never

1500
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: even come close to losing. Honestly, I don't think even

1501
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 1: they took many shots, right, I mean, I think the

1502
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: delivery of giving to taking swings at the face and

1503
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: the body is got to be like a fifty to

1504
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 1: one ratio. And it's like that in life, right, Guys

1505
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: who can fight. We all know guys that can fight,

1506
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 1: and guys like I ain't getting to a brawl, I

1507
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: ain't gonna win, so I just avoid them. Now, if

1508
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 1: I had to, you got no choice. But like like

1509
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: you kind of know, like, yeah, that's not my thing.

1510
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: But it's no different in coaching, right, some guys like

1511
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, you can't fake that edge and that toughness

1512
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: he had, Urban Meyer has as well. You cannot fake that.

1513
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: You either have it deep inside your soul, in your gut,

1514
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: or you don't. And Kirby Smart has that, and it

1515
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: tends to be defensive guys, guys that play defense. Nick

1516
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: Saban was a defensive player at Kent State. Kirby Smart

1517
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: obviously defensive player. A lot of offensive guys don't have that,

1518
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: and like Sark does not have that, there is no

1519
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: way that he can keep his team on edge, even

1520
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: if they got the same team, the same exact players.

1521
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: If it was just if this was a video game

1522
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: and I gave each team the same exact lineup, Kirby's

1523
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 1: would just be tougher. Now, it doesn't mean Sarks wouldn't

1524
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:52,560
Speaker 1: be better offensively, you know, schematically more difficult to neutralize.

1525
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. I'm just talking about pure toughness, grit,

1526
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: and like we're here for a fucking browl and defensive guys,

1527
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:06,599
Speaker 1: the good ones they like you watch Mike Tomlins team,

1528
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:10,719
Speaker 1: Do you watch John Harbaugh's team? Like you don't fake

1529
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. Jim Harbaugh's a quarterback, but he's wired like

1530
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: those guys. Same thing with Dan Campbell. He's a tight end,

1531
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,560
Speaker 1: but he feels more like a outside linebacker. Like you

1532
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: just can't fake what they have now if you don't

1533
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: have it. Like I don't think Kyle Shanahan or Sean

1534
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: McVay are tough guys, but where they're good is they

1535
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: understand the importance of defense and they give a lot

1536
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: of resources to that side of the ball. Andy's kind

1537
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: of in the middle, Like I would not mess with Andy,

1538
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: but he's more easy going, but like if he has to,

1539
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: like I would not bug with Andy. Now, he doesn't

1540
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: carry himself as crazy, but like he's got it in

1541
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: his back pocket at any moment because he's from a

1542
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: group of guys Mike Holmgren, John Gruden that also had

1543
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: that in their back pocket. And those guys were offensive guys, right,

1544
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: So I I just it's one of the most fascinating

1545
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: things about coaching. Scheme is really important in the NFL

1546
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: is a little different, right, Like motivation to me is

1547
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: a little overrated in the NFL. It's much more of

1548
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 1: the chess game and the coaching game. It's more of

1549
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: an intellectual game because everyone's all the players like you

1550
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: get to that level, like you better be playing around

1551
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 1: but in college because you know, not everyone has a

1552
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: pro at this position or you know a really good

1553
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: player at this position. The edge and the coaching and

1554
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: the intensity and this the that raw ra stuff, to

1555
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 1: me is obviously you got to recruit. I'm not saying like,

1556
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: but like, is Walker that much better than the left

1557
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: tackle who's supposedly a first rounder for Texas? Or was

1558
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: Kirby in that guy's ass all week long and telling

1559
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: them we're out for blood. I can't even imagine the

1560
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: intensity and how guys were walking on eggshells in that building,

1561
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 1: because it was like that in Alabama for fifteen years,

1562
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: and I've been lucky enough to know a lot of

1563
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: guys that worked in Alabama. It was like that in

1564
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: New England also lucky enough to know a lot of

1565
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: guys that work there. It's not really like that in

1566
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Now, the one thing in Kansas City is

1567
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: like you were practicing. So unless you're got a torn

1568
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,679
Speaker 1: ecl or on injury, reserve, buckle that shit up Wednesday

1569
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,919
Speaker 1: and we're wearing pads and it's an intense football environment,

1570
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: but it's a little bit more on you. You either

1571
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: match it, show up to practice, work hard, learn the plays,

1572
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,280
Speaker 1: and take the shit seriously, or we'll just get rid

1573
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:39,560
Speaker 1: of you. It's very and this is what I like

1574
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 1: about Andy. It's much more like a business, right either

1575
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing, was what we always do.

1576
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: You either shape in or shape out, But like, this

1577
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 1: is what goes on here, and it's an intense place

1578
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 1: to play. But if you shape in, it's a great

1579
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 1: place to play because it's definitely more fun than the

1580
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:01,680
Speaker 1: New England Dynasty. Like we smiled. We have a good

1581
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 1: time here. But the football stuff is very intense, very intense.

1582
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:07,880
Speaker 1: And that's where I think there's a lot of similarities

1583
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:11,599
Speaker 1: with Andy and Belichick is the football stuff's very intense.

1584
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: Though Andy's much more likely to like break bread with you, right,

1585
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: hang out, know your wife's name. I don't think Belichick.

1586
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,040
Speaker 1: Belichick wouldn't talk to people walking down the hallway, which

1587
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I totally believe, be yourself, and that's his authentic self

1588
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,840
Speaker 1: or his belief on how to do it. So I

1589
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 1: don't even know how we got in that tangent, but

1590
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 1: have a great day to talk to you tomorrow. The

1591
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: volume
