1
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John middle Coop the Three

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: in Out podcast live on a Thursday afternoon from Quarantine.

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: What is going on? How's everyone doing? How's everyone holding up?

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Um less than if you're listening to this on Friday

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: or Saturday. We are less than two weeks away from

6
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, and what's your feel? It still feels

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: like it's gonna happen, you know, I mean, the NFL

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: is kind of forced to get down everyone's the GM's throats,

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: despite some of their I T concerns. But it looks

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: it looks like it's on pace, and I guess we

11
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: will all benefit at least with something to talk to

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: and some content to hold us over in this quarantine life.

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: But today I'm gonna dive into Tom Brady, Howard Stern

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: and the interview and just some of my thoughts to

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: Tonga by LOA. Mike Lombardi, formal general manager, had some

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on his podcast about multiple teams in the top

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: ten failing him as if his physical Uh. I'll dive

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: into that, some other just things going around the NFL

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: that I kind of flagged that will hit on quickly,

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: and then of course Middlecoff mailbag at John Middlecoff is

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: my Instagram handle at John Middlecoff d m's wide open

22
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: slide up in him and a lot of you guys

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: have been sending me questions, keep interacting same as my

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Twitter handle, and I will I will answer the questions

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: here on the podcast. Let's start with Tom Brady on

26
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Howard Sir. Full disclosure, I have not listened to the

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: interview yet, besides some snippets that I've seen on social media,

28
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: and partly because I read a review that said Tom

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Brady the only guy in American history that could go

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: on with Howard for two hours and not actually say anything.

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: Of course he didn't. I mean, Tom Brady wasn't gonna

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: just go zero to sixty first off. And I'm a

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: big Howard Stern guy, and I think people in two

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: thousand twenty, especially younger people, don't quite realize. When I

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: was growing up, if you lived in California, how could

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: you listen to Howard Stern In like the nineties, I

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: didn't have access. I didn't know who Mike Francesa and

38
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: Chris Russo was. The world is so flat, but it's

39
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: so flat and media wise with radio hosts. I mean

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I got into Howard Stern probably since when I started

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: scouting on the road, I got serious XM. Howard Stern

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: had a channel and they would replay his interviews and

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: still to this day. When I'm driving either from Fort

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: or practice to my house or to my parents house

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: from where I'm at right now, which is usually an

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: hour drive if it's not like Coward or you know,

47
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: a certain time during the week, first thing I always

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: check out is Howard's channel because regardless who he has on,

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: if he has on a guest, it's must listen. He's

50
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: the best interviewer, but most of his interviews tend to

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: kind of veer off into some pretty intense conversation about yourself,

52
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: about whatever that's happened to you in your life, and

53
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: there's always a sexual element to it. So when I

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: saw earlier this week that Tom Brady was gonna go

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: on Howard Stern, my first thought was, that's a little bizarre,

56
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: Like he easily could have gone on with Dan Patrick

57
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: and Colin Coward and just had a normal interview. But

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: it kind of struck me. Tom Brady is a little

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: bit like and we all know him. Hell, some of

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: you guys listening might be them, like the fifty year

61
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: old guy that's been in a twenty five year long

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: marriage and gets a divorce and or maybe he's fifty

63
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: five and the first thing he does is he might

64
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: he's gotta have some money in this scenario, and he

65
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: usually takes out like the twenty six year old and

66
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: every one around towns like, yeah, he's going through a

67
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: midlife crisis. It's not truly him, but he wants to

68
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: show that. Like he's been cooped up. He's been like

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: a cage cat. It's like he's been in quarantine but

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: in his life for twenty five years, and he's gonna

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: break out of the shell. It's like, bro, that's not

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: really you. Well, what what are you doing? Like you're

73
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: a partner in a law firm, Like just just date

74
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: someone your own age or maybe someone a little bit

75
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: younger than you. What are you? What are you trying

76
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: to do? Like Tom Brady's image has been pretty consistent,

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: so to go from twenty years of Belichick and then

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: jump right to Howard Stern, to me, I read flagged

79
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. It didn't make that much sense. But

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: then I then I've kind of come to the conclusion

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: that I think Tom Brady struggles with one thing. The

82
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: perception of Tom Brady. What us on the outside know

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: about Tom is he's kind of the quarterback version of Belichick.

84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: He really doesn't give you that much except he's like

85
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback version, really good looking, Mary Do a model,

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: all of his ads, or with sweet people, hugs, wheels

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: up Mercedes, whatever, everything about. When you think Tom Brady,

88
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you just think elite. And I think Tom Brady struggles

89
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: because I bet he says when I talked to people

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I always thought this just I'm

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: a huge Tom Brady fan. Following his career fall a

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: lot of people that he's played with, I've seen a

93
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: lot of their oats about Tom Brady over the years.

94
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: The number one thing they say about Tom Brady is

95
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: he's the best teammate I've ever had. Well, if you're

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna be the best teammate a football player has ever had,

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a guy's guy. You're not gonna be

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: some stiff. What do you guys usually talk about football

99
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: business within? I mean, so he can clearly hang with

100
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the boys. When I think of Tom Brady in the

101
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: off season, what does he always do He always rallies.

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: The group takes Jimmy takes Welker takes Edelman, takes Raybol

103
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: takes Castle, takes the guys he's been playing with for

104
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: over two decades, takes them all to the Kentucky Derby.

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I saw an interview with Danny Amndola that a couple

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: of years ago or five years ago, whatever it first happened,

107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: he got a text message like, hey, Tom wants you

108
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: to come to the derby with us all, and he's like,

109
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: I was in a tough predicament. I was like, you

110
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: knows my girlfriend's birthday on that Saturday. But what am

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: I gonna do? Say no to Tom? So he went

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: to the derby. He's like, yeah, we'll just have to

113
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out later. I'll get her, I'll get

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: her some presents after the fact. But he has this

115
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: perception of being this New England guy where you're not

116
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: allowed to say anything. Because if he was still in

117
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, under no circumstances would he have

118
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: gone on Howard Stern none. It just would not have happened.

119
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: But I think he feels like this guy that's out

120
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: of this long marriage that had been very successful if

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: it was. If this was a marriage analogy, his kids

122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: would all be in college, and not just in any college.

123
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: One would be at Harvard, one would be at Stanford,

124
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: the other one would be on a sports scholarship at Texas.

125
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: Like in his family lived in a huge house with

126
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: multiple second homes, second home, a third home, one by

127
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the water, one in the snow. It has been a

128
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: great life. They don't like each other anymore, so they

129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: broke up and the first thing he does is get

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: a young girlfriend. The first thing Tom Brady does is

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: go on Howard Stern. To me, that's a little this

132
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: is a little bizarre. But I also think Tom struggles

133
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: with He has his perception of being kind of this

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: tight wad like he is with Belichick, and that's not

135
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: really who he is. And I think the hard part

136
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: about what Tom is about to undertake is he's trying

137
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: to change his perception who we think he is. And

138
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: we have about twenty years of just following along with Tom,

139
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: of thinking what he is. Now, that doesn't mean he

140
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: can't change it. Because for about fifteen years now, I

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: was a little biased. I was a King's fan. I

142
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: hated Kobe Bryant, but we all kind of even if

143
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: you were a die hard Lakers fan, you know, be like,

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Kobe's an asshole, but he cares about winning. He'll do

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to win. But he's just all basketball

146
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: all the time, no life, no balance. And you know

147
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: what it was crazy about Kobe Bryant R I P.

148
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Before he died. Kobe Bryant became one of my favorite

149
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: humans in sports. Post retirement, he became just kind of normal.

150
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: He's like, God, there's Kobe with his daughter at a

151
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: women's basketball game. Oh there's Kobe, you know, coaching the

152
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: team with like the the junior college baseball coach. Oh

153
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: there's Kobe text in this high school player. Oh there's

154
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: Kobe reaching out to this junior college basketball team given them.

155
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: It was like Kobe was just actually became much more

156
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: normal despite being not a normal guy as he in retirement.

157
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: It was God, you know what, Kobe might be a

158
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: little bit more like me and you than we think,

159
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: even though he clearly is not. And I think Tom

160
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: deep down thinks he's more like one of the guys

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: than most of us think. So he's gonna try over

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: these next couple of years while he's still playing to

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: change his image a little bit. I would imagine his

164
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: press conferences now, his press conference is he's such a

165
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: high level guy, he's such a smart guy. Have never

166
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: been like Russell Wilson to me, gives by far, I

167
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: mean he Russell Wilson is the smiling version of a

168
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Belichick press conference. He says nothing, I mean nothing. And

169
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: again I get not saying anything. You don't want to

170
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: tip your hand. Football is a paranoid sport. Sport in general,

171
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: but I've had a I've seen Kyle Shanahan to give

172
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: press conferences for three years. He's pretty open and it

173
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: hasn't hurt him. He just made the Super Bowl, like

174
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: you can talk, and I think we're gonna see a

175
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: new Tom Braid. And I also thought one of comments

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: that I saw that like him and Giselle had to

177
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: go to counseling because it was almost like she was

178
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna get a divorce or leave him because she did

179
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: not like what the way he was operating. And that's

180
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: where you realize, you know what Tom Brady like Kobe

181
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: like Tiger Woods while they're playing no balance. Tom Brady

182
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: is football literally dedicates his life. He said it on

183
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: Tom Versus Time changes eating habits. Uh, he's just he's

184
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: kind of a weirdo. I mean, let's just he's avocado

185
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: ice cream. But it's the reason he's able to get

186
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: a fifty million dollar contract at forty three in the

187
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: history of football, basketball, and football, excuse me, baseball, basketball

188
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and football moving forward, I don't want to say never,

189
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: but I think there's a very decent chance we never

190
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: see a forty three year old get fifty million dollars

191
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: in any of the three four sports moving forward. So

192
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady like, yeah, you can call me

193
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: a weirdo avocadoocado ice cream. I do pliability. I have

194
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Alex Guero followed me around and do funny stretches. Guess

195
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: what it works. You know what I'd be like, you're right, Tom.

196
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: But I think it shows that like Tom, for a

197
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: long period of his time or of his life, he

198
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: didn't like like Tiger Woods before his kids, Like there

199
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: is no balance. I had Hunter Mahan on my other podcast,

200
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: Habram in the Middle Cough, and he came on the

201
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: PGA Tour in two thousand three, and it was around

202
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Tiger you know, up until he got injured and everything

203
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: happened with his wife. He said, Tiger Woods did two things.

204
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: He played golf and he worked out, and obviously you know,

205
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: had a little third one mixed in there a little

206
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: bit too, But the majority of his time was dedicated

207
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: around playing golf and working out, around playing golf and

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: trying to win golf tournaments. No no balance, like ask

209
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: people about Peyton Manning. No balance. Tom Brady. I think

210
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: these last couple of years not going to o t

211
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: as he realized he had to change a little bit.

212
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: So maybe we might start seeing him kind of morphed

213
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: into this Kobe like God, Tom is a little more

214
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: normal than we thought, or more likable, more just relatable.

215
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: The hard part is gonna be TV twelve a couple

216
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: of years ago. My mom, whenever she sees like a book,

217
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I guess she goes to bookstore. Still not during quarantine,

218
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: but in a free time. Uh, maybe she shops online.

219
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: I've never actually asked her where she gets these books.

220
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: But you know, like once a month, I'll just get

221
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: a delivery at my condo and I'll open it up

222
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: and it will be a book, and it's whether it's

223
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: on Saban, whether it's on just on anything. And one

224
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: time I opened the box it's the TV twelve method,

225
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: and you realize, like it's pretty weird, Like there is

226
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: a decent chance that as Kobe got more normal, Tom

227
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: could get weirder because to eat avocado ice cream and

228
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: to have this pretty weird workout regiment and it's what

229
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: he has to do to maintain his play. It could

230
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: kind of not go off the deep end, but kind

231
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: of actually become less relatable as he ages while he's

232
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: still playing. And I know he's talked about he mentioned

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: this on Howard. He's gonna have a lot of teammates

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: that are twenty plus years younger than him, and he's

235
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: clearly always done a really good job. I also think

236
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Bruce arians will help because he's gonna go to a

237
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: team that has a lot of guys under thirty that

238
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: don't know him. They just know him as Tom Brady,

239
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback ever. They don't know him as the

240
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: guy that they've worked out with forever, They've played in

241
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of games with, They've had highs, they've had

242
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: loads a lot of highs, won championships with. You are

243
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: kind of starting from scratch, because we all know this,

244
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: like any job, like any relationship, when you start like that.

245
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,359
Speaker 1: When you first start, you do have to prove yourself,

246
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: even if you have a resume of like you just

247
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: we've all had the guy that gets hired a new

248
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: boss right and comes in and just like an asshole.

249
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: Who's just Boston people around and people are like, bro,

250
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't really care what you did at your other company.

251
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know anything about you. Now it's

252
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: different in football because we know about Tom, but you do,

253
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: like any relationship kind of starts at the ground zero.

254
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: You do have to earn people's trust. You do have

255
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: to earn people's respect. And Tom, as much as any

256
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: human possibly can, is going to have their respect, but

257
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: he will have to work to just humanize himself. With

258
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: these players now, it's been as greatest Frank like we've

259
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: talked about, he's the greatest teammate ever. I just wonder, like, again,

260
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: back to my original point, pretty bizarre that he starts out,

261
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, with Tom Brady feels like the guy in

262
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: his fifties and Tom Brady at forty three in the

263
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: NFL is the equivalent probably like a normal human in

264
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: their mid to late fifties going through like a midlife

265
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: crisis gets a divorce, tries to date, some young chick

266
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: gets a new sports car. I don't know, man, I think, like,

267
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: just why didn't he go on Dan Patrick? Why? Why

268
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: didn't he go on Colin Coward show, like just a

269
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: normal show that wasn't gonna ask him, Like these guys

270
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: have revered him for fifteen twenty years. They couldn't have

271
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: talked normal questions. Now I get it. He's maybe he

272
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: loves Howard. I'm sure he said that on Howard Stern Show.

273
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I got the whole situation.

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Red flagged a little bit, Okay, let's dive into TWA

275
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: and former GM Michael Lombardi said on his Pie podcast

276
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: that to his knowledge, multiple teams in the top ten

277
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: have red flag ta hip, ankles, wrist, all kinds of ship.

278
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: He's just he's an injury, red flag and that's not

279
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: un normal. Guys with injuries get red flagged. Now where

280
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: it gets really complicated and why to me this is

281
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: a story is because beside the combine, no one's been

282
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: able to check them. Part of when you read about

283
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: these top thirty visits, those are times when you bring

284
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: in players to not just meet with your owner coach, GM,

285
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: position coach, et cetera. It's to meet with your doctors.

286
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: And a guy like twa for every team draft and

287
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: probably in the top fifteen would have brought him in

288
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: to get a clean bill of health. When I went

289
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: through this three or four years ago, and I bought

290
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: the place I'm living in, and like any of you,

291
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure of when you've bought a place or sold

292
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: a place, an inspector has to go in check the wiring,

293
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: check the plumbing, and then they make notes, and then

294
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: at the end they give you a list. Unless you're

295
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: a general contractor, you're not really arguing with them much. Besides,

296
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: they say, well, this wiring shot, this toilet, the plumbing

297
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: doesn't work, this shower's got issues, this flooring over here, whatever,

298
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: and you go okay, okay. And then depending on the market, right,

299
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: if the economy is booming, the seller is going to

300
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: have a little advantage and you might have to pay

301
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: for some of it. If it's a buyer's market, you

302
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: might force the seller to pay for it. But again,

303
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: you are getting information that you are not an expert on.

304
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: So when you tell me the wiring screwed up in

305
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: a home, I'm trying to buy. My little brother is

306
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: about to buy a home, and I think the sending

307
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: in an inspector next week whenever he gets the information back,

308
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: you really just then to go shape based on that information. Now, obviously,

309
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: the difference with a housing market is there just one

310
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: buyer and one seller once you agree to the price

311
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: of the home, and then you can negotiate from there.

312
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: The difference with a player when he has issues, and

313
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: in Tua's case, if we just put him analogous to

314
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: a house, he's got some wiring issues and depending on

315
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: who he asked, depending on the inspector that you sent in,

316
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: people are gonna think differently about it than others. I mean,

317
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: once upon a time people thought Drew brees shoulder was shot.

318
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: The Chargers thought it, the Dolphins thought it, the Saints

319
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: did not think it. Now there have been situations vice

320
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: versa where people thought a player was healthy and he wasn't.

321
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: In all sports, we're dealing with human bodies. Here, we

322
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: don't truly know, and in this case we aren't able

323
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: to do much more. You know, information to do second

324
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: and third follow ups because of the Corona, because of

325
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, you can't your doctors can't touch him. There

326
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: is a huge element of unknown here, but the information

327
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: that you do have. If your doctor said, listen, I

328
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: think this guy is not going to hold up for

329
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: four or five years. Well, if I'm a general manager,

330
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to say to whoever my doctor

331
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: is of an NFL team, He's probably one of the

332
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: best doctors in that given city. You're an idiot, Maybe

333
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: you get a second opinion. But what if every all

334
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: all your doctors are telling you I don't think this

335
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: guy can hold up. Here's my issue with two him.

336
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: He's kind of small. Now again, he was a prolific

337
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: college player, the most productive college quarterback in the history

338
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: of one of the best programs ever. Obviously the times

339
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: have changed, they spread out the offense. But I do

340
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: think you can bring up some negatives besides just the injuries. One,

341
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: he's not a great athlete. He does not move that well.

342
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: If I had to guess what his forty time would

343
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: have been, I would have guessed like a four nine.

344
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: But he's not really a quick footed athlete. Now, he

345
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: is an instinctive player, but I would not call him.

346
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert and Jordan's love

347
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: are much higher level athletes. Two is just like to me,

348
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: he's like Drew Brees Baker Mayfield, low level NFL athlete.

349
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: Now he's super accurate, but he also is kind of small,

350
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: and I think you could question here listening to Michael

351
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: Lombardi's podcast, he thinks he's kind of brittle. And if

352
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: you're factor in a hip, uh an ankle, multiple ankles

353
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: and this wrist. I guess he broke his wrist that

354
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't maybe that was out. I don't follow the

355
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: SEC in the off season that closely, but that's that

356
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: would be a little concerning. And obviously Joe Burrows going one.

357
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: I did a YouTube. I got a new YouTube page

358
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: promo code Ham and we're doing some breakdowns on the

359
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: YouTube page. Well, when you watch the the Justin Herbert highlights,

360
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: he's six six, he's got a huge arm, and he

361
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: hasn't missed a game these last two years. Now. He's

362
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: been hurt too. He broke a collar bone his sophomore year.

363
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: But I think we'd all agree a collar bone, it's

364
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: happened to a lot of people. Happened to Folds last year,

365
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: has happened to Rogers collar bones happened to me a

366
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: hip when I mean, I've I've heard of one hip

367
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: injury in my life. It was Bo Jackson. And then

368
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: he clearly had a lot of ankle issues. The other thing,

369
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: when you watched to a play, one of the reasons

370
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: he's getting banged up. He can't get away from these

371
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. Now, the success they had in the SEC

372
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: against by far the best defensive lineman in the country

373
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: weekend week out, or you know the teams he's playing,

374
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: but those guys caught him. Well, he's playing those same

375
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL, but they're all sweet. How's he

376
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna get away from him? All? And then I would say,

377
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: if I was a general manager of the concern, I

378
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: would have is well, when he does get slammed, if

379
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: I'm the Dolphins, when the Bills slam him, when the Jets,

380
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: when Quinn and Williams gets him, when the Patriots and

381
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: those guys get him, will he be able to last

382
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: or find the Chargers well, Bradley Chubb and Von Miller,

383
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders don't really have anybody. The Chiefs

384
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: got Chris Jones and Frank Clark, Like, what are those

385
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: guys gonna go due to him. Now he's he's a

386
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: great deep ball thrower in the last decade. If Russell

387
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: Wilson's the best deep ball thrower, we've ever seen two

388
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: US close to that level. The counter though, would be, well,

389
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: they got four wide receivers. He's playing with, Rugs, Judy

390
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: this year are coming out. Two guys went back, Waddle

391
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: and Smith, all four of them. I would imagine Judy

392
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: and Rugs both go in the top fifteen this year.

393
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: Probably both of them will go somewhere between ten and fifteen,

394
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: depending on who he asked. Wattle might be the best.

395
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: He'll be UH top fifteen player, and Smith probably a

396
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: top twenty player too. So you're talking about four first rounders,

397
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: and not just four first rounders, four guys potentially in

398
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: the top twenty in back to back drafts. That's the

399
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: type guys he's playing with. I've seen Daniel Jeremiah tweet

400
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: this before. How many teams in the NFL would trade

401
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: their unit for that group for the for the next

402
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: five eight years, And the answer is a many NFL

403
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: teams would Those guys are that talented? So would he

404
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: like what would he look like on the Dolphins when

405
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: their receivers kind of suck. I mean, they got DeVante Parkers, okay,

406
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: but it's it could be a challenge. I I do

407
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: think they are legitimate concerns, but I also understand, like

408
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: the inspector slashed the doctors, some of them are not

409
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: going to be comfortable with what they see. Now, some

410
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: gms might take everything is a cost benefit, you know,

411
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: a risk verse reward in any situation you're buying something right,

412
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: whether you're buying a house or drafting a player. Yeah,

413
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty risky to take two. Uh, but if he

414
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: is healthy and I have a top fifteen starting quarterback

415
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I'm in pretty good shape. Because if

416
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: he's healthy, if you just tell me two is durable,

417
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: I think he'll be a pretty good player. Now will

418
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: he be a great player? I don't think so. I

419
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: think Burrow and Herbert have the ceiling to be a

420
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: great player. I don't know. If I see the ceiling

421
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: with two, it would be a great player. Maybe I'm wrong,

422
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm being too critical, Maybe I'm living too much

423
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: in the quarantine moment talking about his injuries. But I

424
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: got a guy who's been hurt multiple times, and here's

425
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: the other thing, I think, more than ever in two

426
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: thousand twenty, quarterbacks have to be mobile. They have to

427
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: be athletic because the amount of offensive lineman that have

428
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: came into the league over the last six seven years

429
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: had has not matched the level of defensive lineman have

430
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: coming the league over that period of time. There are

431
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: way more talented defensive lineman, especially on the interior, than

432
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: there are talented offensive lineman on the interior. And there's

433
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: always been great pass rushers. So if you notice a

434
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: lot of the quarterbacks are kind of running for their life,

435
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: look at the guys having success, Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers,

436
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Brady's a little bit of an outlier. Most of these

437
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: guys are moved guys, even Kyler, Murray, Dak Prescott. All

438
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: these guys can move. Where does Kirk Cousins get in trouble?

439
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins can't move. Jimmy Garoppolo, he can add lib,

440
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: he can scramble around well to it can't really, not

441
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: like Burrow, not like Herbert. And if Jordan's love can

442
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: get coached up a little bit more of a project,

443
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: he has that too. So yeah, I mean, whether they

444
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: someone's gonna draft this guy and probably high. Now. I

445
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: talked to people in the league that say, like, I

446
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: like Herbert a lot more than to h and clearly

447
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people on television like to a lot

448
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: more than Herbert. But as we've seen, like you know,

449
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: clearly Daniel Jeremiah talks to a lot of people in

450
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I know he's not a big fan

451
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: of Herbert, so that's his own opinion. He's also been

452
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: a scout in the league. I don't put and I'm

453
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: not trying to be an asshole, and I love Mel Kiper,

454
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: the guy's a legend, but I don't put much stock

455
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: into what Mel Kiper and Todd mcschasay. I honestly, I

456
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: really don't care. That is no shot at either one

457
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: of those guys, especially Mel. I've been on Mel's radio

458
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: show before the ESPN one Saturday morning a long time ago.

459
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: It was a thrill, a lot of respect for him.

460
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: But I don't care where he puts a player DJ.

461
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: I keep a much closer right. He's talking to gms,

462
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: a lot of them, and he knows what he's looking at,

463
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: and he can comp for twenty plus years of draft

464
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: But most the other draft analysis. I don't give a ship.

465
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: I really don't. I care about what my friends say

466
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: in the league that have literally do this for a

467
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: living and kind of what my own I see. Because

468
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: I've been around long enough, I got a pretty good

469
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: feel for what's going on. And again, I'm not saying

470
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: this guy can't play, but I do think that when

471
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: you factor in the injuries and you factor in just

472
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: his overall future of durability. Again, he's not a four

473
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: year starter. He did not start as a freshman, played

474
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, came in at the end of the

475
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: season when they benched Jalen, but he didn't start until

476
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: a sophomore year. Didn't make it through either season, and

477
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: basically the conference that's equivalent to the NFL. And then

478
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: he's not that big his arms. You know, Okay, he's

479
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: really accurate down the field, but depending on go play

480
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, they don't have a deep right keep

481
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: now and Mike Williams work in the middle, and you know,

482
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: down the sidelines, they're they're not running go routes like

483
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: Randy Moss. Hunter Henry works the middle of the field

484
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: like it's about being pinpoint. But he's a great d

485
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: ball thrower. So it's like, well, is that even gonna work?

486
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: That would probably his best chance to work. The Dolphins stink.

487
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: He could look really bad. Now you could say he

488
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to play right away, which he probably wouldn't

489
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: if he's not healthy. And we'll see. I know his

490
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: agent and he keeps saying he's healthy. I don't put

491
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: much stock into that either. What would you say if

492
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: would you say you're not healthy, don't draft me. I

493
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: don't want your money. Of course I'm healthy. Look at

494
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: his hip and I get Trent Dilfer, who I have

495
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for, loves him, But again, he's

496
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: working with him every day. I've loved a lot of

497
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: people I've worked with every day people on the outside.

498
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: Don't that just we're all humans? You know, two was

499
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: a high character. People like him. Everyone I know that

500
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: it's been around who loves him. There's no question with

501
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: his character like that's that's a plus to me. His

502
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: questions are, you know, just this medical report and even

503
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: some of his physical attributes, how they translate to the league. Okay,

504
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: let's bang out a couple of quick quick comments before

505
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: we dive into the Middlecoff Mail bag. Also, I forgot

506
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: to mention I appreciate everyone that did it. If you

507
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: go to UH three and Out podcast on iTunes, if

508
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: you like the show, leave a little review. I saw

509
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: we got a bunch after the last podcast. I really

510
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: appreciate everyone doing it, so thank you. UH you guys

511
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: are loyal listeners, and I appreciate the support. Story actually

512
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: broke while I was recording the first couple of parts

513
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: of this podcast. Bill O'Brien is at it again. Brandon Cooks,

514
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: who had an untradable contract, is making twelve million this year,

515
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: twelve million next year, has five or six documented concussions,

516
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: countless more injury somehow. Now Brandon Cooks has been traded

517
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: three times, a first rounder, a first rounder, and now

518
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: a second Rounder's pretty wild. Now his speed is elite,

519
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: but he is not a durable player at this point.

520
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: And there's always gonna be a mark in the league.

521
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: And right now it's Bill O'Brien. He just traded a

522
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: second round pick for Brandon Cooks. Now granted to pick

523
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: is fifty seven, and I think he got picked forty

524
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: forty from the Arizona Cardinals. So we got a really

525
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: good second round pick. But why wouldn't you want multiple

526
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: second round picks, especially as you're about to pay Laramy

527
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: Tunzel and Deshaun Watson. I don't quite understand it. Uh,

528
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: they're now depending on three guys to go along with

529
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills who have injury histories, like Will Fuller and

530
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. They're not dependable players. And Randall Cobb as

531
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: he ages, I mean he's been hurt before two like,

532
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: you are depending on three guys that are just not

533
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: very durable. Now when they're all healthy, if you tell

534
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: me they get sixteen games out of the four of them,

535
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: they're being good shape. And I don't even think you'd

536
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: noticed Hopkins was gone. The likelihood of that happening is

537
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: about his likelihood as quarantine getting lifted this weekend. It's

538
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. These guys are gonna get hurt. Now.

539
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: You get David and David Johnson, they're just I I

540
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 1: get the Rams credit. They pawned off, you know, Brandon

541
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Cooks on somebody, but of course it was Bill O'Brien,

542
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: always just doing weird things. Todd Gurley tweeted the other

543
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: day that the Rams owe him money. I don't really

544
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: have a take beside. I think that's the first sing

545
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: a player tweet out a team saying you owe them money.

546
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: And I think that the article I read Florio the

547
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: number seven and a half million dollars. I saw a

548
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: bunch of people on Twitter like everyone's quarantine. The accountants

549
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: are out of the office. Yeah, it's called a wire transfer.

550
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: It's called a direct deposit, like they have his banking information.

551
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: They can press a button and send him the money.

552
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: I'm last night check Stan Croki has some catsh. I

553
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: also think Casey mat or not Casey he was the

554
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: god anyone. Clay Matthews. Casey Matthews, former guy drafted by

555
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles when I was there. He's terrible. Clay Matthews

556
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: form a really good player now not very good. But

557
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: I guess tweeted or some Instagram that he's also owed money.

558
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: So the Rams for being having an owner with billions

559
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: upon billions of dollars self financed a five billion dollar stadium,

560
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: not paying his employees very well. The Chief signed DeAndre Washington.

561
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington, the Raiders drafted him when Jack del Rio

562
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: was there with Reggie Mackenzie. Actually a good little scat

563
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: back from Texas Tech played with Mahomes, So I actually

564
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: think that move, you know, low risk, flying duck. They

565
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: pay him any money makes, you know, makes some sense.

566
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Probably the story of the day. Chris Johnson c J

567
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: two K. I don't know if he's been he's been

568
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: investigated for. Remember he was shot three or four years ago.

569
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: Turns out there are some rumors that after he was

570
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: shot he might have done a little murder for hire

571
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: to then go kill that guy. And I think it's

572
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: still in flux, it's out there. Honestly. Again, I'm not

573
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: a lawyer, not a police officer, but when you just

574
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: read the headlines, you're like, he was shot and then

575
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: there was a murder for higher on the people shot him,

576
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: like you know, it's not it's not crazy. And then

577
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: you start thinking, like listen, I'm I'm anti murder, but

578
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: if someone shoots you, like you might do something crazy.

579
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all been watching The Tiger King, you know,

580
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: we all think Carol Baskins killed her husband and then

581
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: Carol Baskins was coming after Joe Exotic, and then Joe

582
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: Exotic a little murder for Higher trying to take out

583
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: Carol Baskins, Like you know, when crazy things happened. He

584
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: just if you told me it's true, I would believe it.

585
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: Now if you told me it's not true. I don't know.

586
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson seems like a good guy when he was

587
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: in the league, could really run. But that's that's that's quarantine.

588
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Crazy story for the day. And then what's the other thing? Oh,

589
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: either schefter or rap she have this the other day?

590
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: Is that a lot of I T members. We all

591
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: if you work for a business, the I T guys

592
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: are very important, right your computers, breakdown, your iPads, your phones.

593
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: They're always there to help you out. Well, right now,

594
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: during quarantine, I saw the Ravens tweeted out a video

595
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: John Harbus freaking out. He thinks that they're gonna get hacked.

596
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna know their draft board, someone knows who they're

597
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna want to trade and their information. He's not comfortable because,

598
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: in fairness, he's like, any time I see a headline

599
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: in the New York Times of the Wall Street Journal,

600
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: I just forwarded to our T guys, and the I

601
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: T guys promised me that we're not gonna get hacked. Well,

602
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: the story was, I think on Wednesday was a lot

603
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: of I t guys are not comfortable with coming over

604
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: to the coaches and general managers houses. They don't want

605
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: to spread the corona. They don't want to get the corona.

606
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of uncertainty on the corona.

607
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: So I the football coaches, most of them should know,

608
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: especially the head coaches and gms, how to run a zoom.

609
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy. I'm sure you've done it. I've done it.

610
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: You just press a button, it downloads, and then you

611
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: call someone. It actually couldn't be much simpler to use

612
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: or skype. But there are some real issues as we

613
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: get closer and closer to the to the draft. But

614
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: here's what I promise you, even if you're terrified of

615
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: the corona, if the head coach or GM wants you

616
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: to come to your house, come to their house. You

617
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: know most guys are gonna go to their house. So

618
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: that that might have been a little bit of an

619
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: overblown story. Okay, let's bang out some Middlecoff mail bags

620
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff Instagram. Two f's I'm Always Better actually

621
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: happened to me twice at Fresno State. I got a

622
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: name tag spelled my name wrong, got hired by the

623
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles spelled my name tag spelled it wrong where

624
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: they put my name on the name Tagg and knows wrong.

625
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: You know it humbled you. You know it drives you.

626
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: And in fairness, it's not you know, it's not Smith

627
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: or Williams. Middlecoff is not a normal name. So it's

628
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: two f's, two f's. I've been a die hard writer

629
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: fan for thirty years. Third generation? Is there any chance

630
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders will return to the Glory days? How do

631
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: you feel about Gruden and Mayock? Thanks herecid it. I

632
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: think Max really good and I think Gruden is fine.

633
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Gruden is anywhere near the hype that

634
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: we thought coming out of the tenure layoff. I don't

635
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: think he's as elite as he was when Al Davis

636
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: found him those three or four years in that first

637
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: year in Tampa. But I think he's a good coach.

638
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Uh Is Derek Carr his guy? That? That to me

639
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: is the biggest question mark. Is Derek Carr good enough

640
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: to return to the Glory Days? And listen? I was

641
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: at Fresno State when we recruited Derek. I like Derek

642
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: and he's a skilled guy. Is he good enough. I

643
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: don't think so, not for them, given that their division,

644
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: you gotta play Kansas City in Denver, and they always

645
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: play him it feels like in late November and December,

646
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: and he can't play outside in the cold. He doesn't

647
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: play well enough. To me, he's probably meant for a dome,

648
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: like he'd be good for the Colts, be good for

649
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: the Saints. I think he'd be good for a lot

650
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: of warm weather teams. But and technically Vegas is going

651
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: to be in a dome. But their their division is

652
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: outside and it's cold, and the two best teams typically

653
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: in their division Denver in Kansas City, and you gotta

654
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: beat my homes, So how are you gonna beat my homes?

655
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: It's uh that they got They got a long way

656
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: to go to me. That's their biggest issue is is

657
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: is Gruden a believer in Derek? And their defense is

658
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: just stinks. Their defense since I've been watching the Raiders

659
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: really closely these last ten years, has been awful, atrocious.

660
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: Even the one year when they won twelve games and

661
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: Cleil was the defensive Player of the Year, the rest

662
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: of the defense was awful. Linebacker stink can never cover anyone.

663
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: The coordinator stink. I know you're SF supporter and was

664
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: wondering your thoughts on how we were going to approach

665
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: the draft. Outlook on Jimmy g and expectations for two

666
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: thousand and twenties season, assuming it continues like normal. Looking

667
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: forward to hearing from you and your next pods. Uh yeah,

668
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean they got two first round picks. I think

669
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: they'd go a lot of directions. I think they could

670
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: easily draft a guy not at quarterback, but draft a

671
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver at thir team. They could trade pack on

672
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: thirteen acquire some more picks in the second round. They

673
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: could draft the defensive tackle or a corner at thirteen,

674
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: take a quarterback or I mean a wider ever at

675
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: thirty one. I think Jimmy's in good shape. I mean

676
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: it was for Jimmy's first year starting, he was good.

677
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: He had some bad moments, but a lot of non

678
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: star quarterbacks have bad moments. For the most part, he

679
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: was really good. He made some big time plays in

680
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: the second half. I'm a fan of Jimmy Garoppolo. I'm

681
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: a believer in Jimmy Garoppolo, and this is another big

682
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: year for Jimmy Garoppolo and I think two thousand twenty,

683
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: the Niners have a nail a couple of these first

684
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: round picks. I mean, they're Super Bowl contender. You could say,

685
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: hell them. The Chiefs, the Ravens are the best three

686
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: teams in the league, and the Saints. I consider myself

687
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: a die hard Colts fan. A lot of US fans

688
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: expected the River signing but were surprised by the Buckner trade.

689
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: Many of us thought we were going to snag Jordan's

690
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: Love had picked their team. Do you think it's likely

691
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: that the Colts would be willing to trade a couple

692
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: of second round picks to grab Love in the twenties

693
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: ahead of the Saints or Packers. Yeah. Once you trade

694
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: for Buckner and you signed Rivers, to me, you're in

695
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: win now mode. So I would be shocked if they

696
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: used second round picks to move up now. If Jordan's

697
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: Love were to tumble to them, which is not gonna happen,

698
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: maybe they would take them. But I think they draft

699
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: other players. They need a wide receiver to go with

700
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: t Why uh. Eric Ebron I actually noticed this like

701
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago on Rhoda World. I'm like, damn,

702
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: he's on the Steelers, so he's not even on their

703
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: team next year or anymore. Obviously it was a free agent.

704
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: They need playmakers to go with the Rivers. But their

705
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: offensive line is good. A couple of running backs they

706
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: have are good. I think that you could just try

707
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: to make a run this year. That's gonna be hard.

708
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're quite good enough to beat

709
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: the Ravens or to beat the Chiefs. Even the Bills

710
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: are gonna be pretty good. With the new rules and

711
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: drug testing, what do you think will happen to guys

712
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: like Josh Gordon? Will they be reinstated or will they

713
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: still be banned? Well, I know, in like California, once

714
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: we became legal, they kind of retroactively, you know, took

715
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: guys out of prison they were there for like a

716
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: dime bag. So if you were there on like a

717
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: petty weed charge, you got released. So maybe again, I

718
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: have an assing one in the NFL. How it's gonna

719
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: work with the guys that had got nailed for failing tests,

720
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: which I get it in like the eighties and nineties

721
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: when everyone thought weed was crack cocaine, But think how

722
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: stupid to spend guys these last decade over marijuana. I mean, think,

723
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: think how dumb that is. I'm gonna have an edible

724
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: later tonight. Obviously it's early, but as of now, it

725
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: seems like the Ravens are the Chiefs come out of

726
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: the a f C, with the Titans being the possible

727
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: third team. I forget about the Titans sometimes they're pretty good.

728
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: Any other teams you think have a legit chance next year.

729
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: Seems like the last twenty years, the a f C

730
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: has had two or three teams as contenders, whereas the

731
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: NFC is a much more of a toss up. Yeah,

732
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: the NFC is really really good. I mean, the Niners seattle,

733
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna be solid. Hell, the Cardinals aren't

734
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: gonna suck. Packers are solid. I think the Bears are

735
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna be better. The Vikings are still good. The Eagles

736
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be that injured. They'll be good. The Cowboys

737
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: will be solid, The Saints are really good. The Buccaneers

738
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: should be good, you know, and the Falcons shouldn't start

739
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: its slow. So yeah, you're you're right. Much deeper, I

740
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: think the team to beat by a mile in the

741
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: league is the Chiefs. They are the team to beat

742
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: in the League, and definitely in the a f C.

743
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: They beat the Ravens last year pretty easily. I think

744
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens are the second best team. You could argue

745
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: they're the best team on paper, but until they win

746
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: a playoff game, I I just I'm gonna look at

747
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: them like the Houston Rockets. And then I think you

748
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: have a group of teams the Titans, the Colts, the Bills,

749
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: the Texans that the actually the a f C South

750
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: could be pretty good. You know, the Texans cooks. I mean,

751
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: they do have a lot of wide receivers. You just

752
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: need to keep them healthy in saying with David Johnson,

753
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: but they do have those guys are talented, and the

754
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: Colts should be better in theory with Rivers. And then

755
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: the Titans are basically bringing back the majority of their squad.

756
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: So that division hell could be a Three of the

757
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: seven teams in the playoffs could come from the a

758
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: f C South. That's actually a really good division the

759
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: more I think about it. But you're right, I mean,

760
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos, the Raiders, the Charge. There's still a lot

761
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: of unknowns this year. Maybe with Brady being gone, it

762
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: could be a little bit more six or seven teams

763
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: legitimately could win the a f C. It's just who

764
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: are you gonna pick to be Patrick Mahomes Andy Reid

765
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: in a playoff game? You're just not Uh. What are

766
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the forty Niners free agency period? What

767
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: do you think the key holes are in the squad?

768
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: And who do they draft? Get a lot of Niners questions. Uh,

769
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: Defensive tackle and corner to me are the biggest issues

770
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: because they get by with the wide receivers and Kittle.

771
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: They have ideally want a better wide receiver to go

772
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: a debot, and I think they'll draft a guy, but

773
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna need another defensive tackle and they desperately corners

774
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: their biggest their biggest hole by far. They have one

775
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: elite corner that's Richard. He's going he's thirty one and

776
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: going into a contract here. They need to get him help,

777
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: Like if you That's why I wouldn't be opposed to

778
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: drafting the kid from Florida, C J. Henderson. I think

779
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: his name is. Who has texting with a couple of

780
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: guys in the league this week. They say it's not

781
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: even close. He's the best, second best corner in the

782
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: in this draft, and I said, well, would you take

783
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: him between twelve, fourteen, fifteen range? They said, for sure.

784
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: I think he ran like a four three nine. He

785
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: is really talented. So if if you told me the

786
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: Niners took him at thirteen to meet him or kinlaf

787
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: one of those two guys fall, I'd i'd be all

788
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: over him. I'm from northwest Indiana and a die hard

789
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: Bears fan. What do you think they actually need in

790
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: such a competitive NFC? It seems like we're always in

791
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: need of receivers and no line. What receivers would you

792
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: recommend to the Bears team actually compete? Also, as Kirk

793
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: Cousins the top ten quarterback to you, to me, he's not,

794
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: He's not. His His stats might be top ten, but

795
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: I'd never view Kirk Cousins as a guy that I

796
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: think could rattle off multiple playoff victories. I know he

797
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: won a game last year and it was impressive. Now,

798
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees played like crap, and Sean Payton wasn't good

799
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: in that game either, but Kirk Cousins made some winning throws.

800
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: But I was at the game the next week. Now,

801
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the Niners were a lot better than the Vikings, but

802
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: he just he crumbles because he can't move. I'd say

803
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: somewhere between twelve and fifteen. The Bears, I mean, Alan

804
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: Robinson is a pretty good player. If Miller of the

805
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: kid they drafted a couple of years ago, can become

806
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: a solid player the slot receiver. You know, you could

807
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: draft offensive line, they could draft the tight end. Their

808
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: defense is pretty good, so I think the Bears A

809
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: fulls play is good. They're being pretty good shape. Hey, John, So,

810
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: me and my brother listening to your podcasts a lot

811
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,479
Speaker 1: in the car, and I was wondering what you thought

812
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: the Redskins should do with the second pick. As a fan,

813
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm hoping they take Chesse Chase Young and give Haskins

814
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: another year. But in your opinion, is too a too

815
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: good a quarterback prospect to pass up on. Yeah, I

816
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: think given his injuries and clearly kind of the information

817
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: that's coming out of Washington, it just seems like they're

818
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna take Chase Young, and I if you take a

819
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: premium pass rusher in the top two or three picks,

820
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: I can never fault you. And if if Haskins sucks,

821
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: maybe you get one of the top quarterbacks next year.

822
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: Maybe you trade for a guy you know there there's

823
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: so many quarterbacks now in the NFL, there's actually two many.

824
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: You will be able to acquire guys. Maybe you get

825
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, Jamis Winston next year, who knows. I mean

826
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: you'll have options for sure. That Rule recently said that

827
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: he wouldn't rule out drafting a quarterback to site signing Teddy.

828
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: Do you think this is just meaningless coach speak or

829
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: do you think they could be a reasonable move? Uh?

830
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: I guess if Matt Rule loved a quarterback, I would

831
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: not put it past him to draft a quarterback. So

832
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: if Tula Herbert were to fall to him, I could

833
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: see him doing it. Now would he trade up to

834
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: get a quarterback? I don't see it. Not when you

835
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: just signed Teddy to a three year contract. Uh. I

836
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: think it's probably more coach speak. I think that they

837
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: just play this season with Teddy Bridgewater and the little

838
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: dude I guess, not that little six ft tall p

839
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: J Walker, the guy they signed from the XFL. That

840
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: was Matt Rules quarterback at Temple, and that's their quarterback room.

841
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: In this year. The probably win four or five games,

842
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: and then they draft a guy next year. That's what

843
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: I would expect. Hey, John love the pot. It's always

844
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: go straight to the top of my playlist. Thanks. Anything

845
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: in the Tom Brady interview that surprised you. What's one

846
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: question you'd love to ask Tom if you knew he

847
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: had to tell the truth. Yeah. Like I said, I

848
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: didn't listen to the whole interview. I'll probably do that

849
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: this weekend. Um. If I was gonna ask Tom one thing, Well,

850
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: if I was Howard, I'd probably ask sex questions about

851
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: him and Giselle. If I was gonna ask him football questions, Uh,

852
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: something would probably be like about the latitude and how

853
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: much power he had in audible ng at the line,

854
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: him and Josh's working relationship, working with young wide receivers,

855
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: you know, something about offense and the chess game. Maybe

856
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: it would just be Tom. I'm always fascinated, Like Monday

857
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: through Saturday, hour by hour, Let's go what's your What's

858
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: what was your schedule? Let's go starting Monday through you know,

859
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: if it's a home game, Saturday afternoon leading up to

860
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: the game, or Saturday night when you stay at the

861
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: team hotel, what's what's your schedule? Tape, food, workouts, practice,

862
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: I want to know it all, hour by hour, let's go.

863
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated that by by quarterbacks because like coaches,

864
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: they put in insane hours. So you get why in

865
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: that interview, Gazelle is like, Honey, I don't see you,

866
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: and you come home in the off season and you

867
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: start working out again, you start doing business stuff. This

868
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: is a great deal for you. It's not a good

869
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: deal for me. It's not because these guys Tiger Woods,

870
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady, Kobe Winnings playing there isn't much

871
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: balance in their life. It's it's hard to maintain. I mean,

872
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: I can't relate, but I would imagine being at the

873
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: top of the mountain, right they say the wind blows

874
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: the top the hardest. At the top of the mountain,

875
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: everyone's gunning for you. You you want to sustain being

876
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: a champion, it's easy. Like for me right now, it's

877
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: easy chasing everyone. I got a lot of energy. I

878
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: want what other people have. What about once you get there.

879
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated by that once you get a bunch

880
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: of money, once everyone's kind of blowing you and telling

881
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: you how great you are. It's really honestly impressive. When

882
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Brady Manning, Kobe, Tiger their their ability

883
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: to grind to the top of the mountaintop and just

884
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: refuse to relent. It's really what makes them and you

885
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: just special players. To me, the the the internal drive

886
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: to never ever take your foot off the pedal, and

887
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: it definitely I'm sure I don't have kids. Has to

888
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: get difficult when you have children and a wife. And

889
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: I know it's easier when you have more money and

890
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: you can have nannies and stuff, but still, I mean

891
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: the strain it puts on any relationship when you when

892
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: you are that dedicated towards one thing, I would imagine

893
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: it sometimes can be difficult to have, you know, a normal,

894
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: you know relationship with your significant other. It can be

895
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: difficult because you're just spending so much freaking time, especially Tom.

896
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: What makes Tom not normal? Most forty three year old

897
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: athletes are former athletes. They're done because most most athletes

898
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: are done att eight thirty nine, I mean forty three.

899
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: He's like going strong, and clearly his energy level in

900
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: terms of how hard he works is only ramping up.

901
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: How much he's into t V twelve. It's it's crazy.

902
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Have a safe weekend, quarantine away and

903
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: uh I'll see you next week. Thanks again for listening.

904
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate the sport
