Speaker 1: she deserves. And Honey, I hope you're having a great time.

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: You've never listened to the show, if you picked this show,

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: how you doing? Um? Uh? I was running a little

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: bit late because I was taking care of Jack and Harry.

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Come screaming in here at ten fifty seven, and there's

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: there he is. It's the man. You've talked about this

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: man a few times on the show over the years,

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: and you know, Eagle, you know, big time, long time

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: listeners know about this man, right so and me needing

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: to get into the office and not I'm not somebody

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: searching for conflict. If I had some more time, I'm

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: i'd kind of wait out because right there was the

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: parking spot, the talent parking spot area that for many

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: years has been a bone of contention between me and UM.

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: And this time he said, I'm running late. He's standing

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: right there. I'm gonna pull right in, and then I

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: realized we had never been face to face. But okay, okay,

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: get out of the car, and I could feel him

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: looking at me, and he stops me and he says,

44
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: that's a talent only spot. Wow, And I go and

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to say something nobody wants

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: to have to say this when I go, I am talent,

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: And then he goes after a beat, I know, I

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: recognize you been so all right, So this has been resolved.

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. You could parse the words in a

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: couple of different ways. So but for years you were

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: you were presuming yourself to be talent in his eyes

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: and just taking the spot. You know, the first two

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: years of your conflict, I was convinced he thought that

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I was you. I'm sure you did. And there also

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: was a time when we um during the show was

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: going to screw you. Well, there was a family event

57
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: on the weekend, and he there was the same gentleman

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: forbid us from taking our children into the building to

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: look at the news room and essentially like a father

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: child experience, come visit dad's work, very straight and we

61
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: should not be allowed in the building. And we all

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: snuck in another you know chapter in you, it's been

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: a battle battle talent part that he was not allowing you,

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: or that that was a bone of contention Yes, for

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: years this has been going on, and finally it was

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the big face to face. It's like in heat when finally,

67
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: after years of silver silver screen greatness, you had Pacino

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: and de Niro sitting at the table. It's just like that.

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: That's what this was about. And Uh, I'm feeling pretty good.

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Other NFL media things going on right now. Um, they

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: had this is Awards season in house. They is the

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: NFL Commissioner's Awards, and we heard from some sparrows, including

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: show host Colleen Wolf. Uh that our little voiceover we did,

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: um announcing the nominees for the Rising Star Award. It

75
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: was on camera. It was a Roger Goodell was there.

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Everyone was there, was in New Jersey, but it was

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: simulcast here. UM in house in l A. Got a

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: lot of chuckles and amusement. UM. And that to me,

79
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I'll take that as a victory. It's the closest we'll

80
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: ever get to winning an award or an award on

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: that show. Um, So I'll take that mild amusement. Apparently

82
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: based on I got an email from a high ranking

83
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: executive at the NFL saying it got a great response

84
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: that appreciated. Here he is look out at NFL Network.

85
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: It says something though that you know, as you're arguing

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: with your body over being talent, that none of us

87
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: were even in the audience or around yesterday to see

88
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: any of this. Or my my boss Sarah, who's wonderful. Um,

89
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: she also let me know that it had went over well,

90
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: and then she says, why weren't you there because you

91
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: could watch? I guess it's you could sit in the

92
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: studio here and was here he was in l A.

93
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Oh really okay? And I said, I'm more like the

94
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson type. It's like I don't go to the

95
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: award show unless I know I'm winning. I feel like

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: we were there through our production. I did here. I

97
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: talked to someone downstairs who basically I wanted to know

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: if Goodell A thought it was humorous and that he

99
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: registered laughter and enjoyed it, and if he had any

100
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: concept of who we were. And I was scolded for

101
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: not for not knowing that Goodell would know who we are,

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: for not assuming that, um that he does seem to know.

103
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you hear about people auditioning

104
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: for SNL and the whole thing is one thing don't

105
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: lose your confidence. Lauren never laughs like Warren Michaels will

106
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: never laugh. But it doesn't mean he doesn't like you.

107
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. If even if if Rod was

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: stone faced, doesn't mean that it didn't registers. Oh these

109
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: guys are you know? They are straight shooters to the top.

110
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Well he did. Let there is a second note, because

111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: what our task was, each one of us there were

112
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: four options to pick for the Rising Store, and we

113
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: each locked one of them up, sort of a mock segment,

114
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: mox segment. But I took it very seriously. And it's

115
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: a good thing that I did. Because the gentleman who

116
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I pitched game Pass leader, Max Boygan, he won. I

117
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: locked him up. Anyone, that's pretty good. How do you

118
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: how do you in the off season top the championship

119
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I won for the regular season? You lock up Max

120
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Boygan and he nailed it. Our transition into just being

121
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: company men is now complete. If you're part of the

122
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: Commissioner's Awards, we can't really say we're we're like the

123
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: fighting trophy in there. I mean, we have a globally

124
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: successful podcast and what is the greatest new media in

125
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: in new media, which is the podcast industry, for years.

126
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Maybe we take home some hardware one of these years

127
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: feels it feels timely into both sides of the old Atlantic.

128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: We're thriving. I mean, you got your parking spot. Let's

129
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: today's show. We're going mini camp. The first week of

130
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camps has wrapped. How many teams had their

131
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: mini camps this week? Eight teams and then we have

132
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: the rest our next week? Is that? Um So we're

133
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: going to share some kind of takeaways, well kind of

134
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: just not quite rapid fire, but we're gonna go around

135
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the horn a bunch of times, just throwing out different

136
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: things that we read or saw that jumped out to us.

137
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: You don't want to put too much greg into a

138
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: few practices, but it's the first real football of consequence,

139
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: um as we head towards mini camp or training camp.

140
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: So it's something just don't get too spicy with the

141
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: take Some people get way too spi Yeah, that's this

142
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: is something that's changed over the here. They also don't

143
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: have tackling anymore at this out of the year, so

144
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: it's even the mini camps that are mandatory, it's they're

145
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: mini it's kind uh. And we'll close the show with

146
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: some iTunes reviews, as we promised on Wednesday, but before that,

147
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: let us do some news dark sprawls or the back

148
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: field fill Pounded twelve when f one skins away a

149
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: pressure still on his feet, call he fires stop. So

150
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: I pulled that clip for the news drop because I

151
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: was watching a two thousand seventeen highlight package of Carson

152
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: Wentz was thirteen minutes long. And why because Carson Wentz

153
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: was the best quarterback on the planet before he blew

154
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: out his knee in seventeen. Last year, UM, the Eagles

155
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: still won the Super Bowl, of course with Nick Foles,

156
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: and then last year more injury issues for wins. But

157
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: in a sign of supreme faith, Philadelphia on Thursday agreed

158
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: to a four year extension with Carson went through. UH.

159
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: The deal is worth a hundred and twenty eight million

160
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: and up till hundred forty four million with sixty six

161
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: and that's the most important number, million fully guaranteed UH

162
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: and a hundred and seven point nine million and guarantees.

163
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Greg will parse that for me, rap Sheet had those

164
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: numbers once. His average annual value on the new four

165
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: year deal thirty two million, doesn't beat Russell Williams Russell

166
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Wilson at thirty five, but it surpasses everyone in the

167
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: total guarantee number, So he's paid like a super duper star,

168
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: which Greg he probably deserves. He he absolutely deserves. And

169
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: this entire kind of quarterback contract like reaction industrial complex

170
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: has become the most tiring part of the NFL news media,

171
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Like it's the least interesting and most discussed part of

172
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the sport at this point. It's like these quarterback hunt

173
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: they all get him. You get one. If you're over

174
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: a certain level, you get it. You don't have to

175
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: think too hard about it. The takes that really bother

176
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: me is like, you know, it's you know, it's gonna

177
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: be hard to really build around Carson Wentz now because

178
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: he's taken up so much of the it. Look look

179
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: at the cap space around the league. Half the teams

180
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: have more than twenty million dollars in cap space. Ten ten,

181
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: fifteen teams like rolled thirty forty fifty million dollars of

182
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: cap space into the opscene. Teams aren't even using cap

183
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: space all the time. The harder part is finding enough

184
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: good players to actually spend all that money on. I mean,

185
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: that's what teams like the Jets and the Browns have

186
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: have struggled with in recent years is finding enough good players. Now,

187
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: there are some teams like the Eagles and the Vikings

188
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: who have all these candidates for long term extends, but

189
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: look at their rosters. They have more long term contracts

190
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: for other positions than anyone else. And they got Kirk

191
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Cousins and Carson Wentz on their roster, so you can

192
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: figure it out. It's just like, there's not two right.

193
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: It could be if you have a rookie quarterback or

194
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: that's an advantage, or a late draft pick, you will

195
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: have more spending and you could spend quarterback money on

196
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: a cornerback or a defensive tackle or an end and

197
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: that's a huge advantage. But just because you signed a

198
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: superstar quarterback to a massive deal, it's not an issue

199
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: where you, oh, now we're hamstrung. There's plenty of money

200
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: and the cap keeps going up. Right, Like, how many

201
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: people in the next few years are gonna be like,

202
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Packers can build a legitimate

203
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: team with the Darius Smith and Preston Smith on the

204
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Packers rafter, But those two two guys who are fine

205
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: add up to a quarterback. You look at the the

206
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: list of annual salaries and they're topped by Russell Wilson.

207
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, it almost just looks like uh slotting

208
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: for first round picks. As you go down the list,

209
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: where they're each making a little bit, little bit less

210
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: than the one before you know what the price is.

211
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was the next huy up the concept that

212
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: it's any sort of thing that you would not spend

213
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: this money. Two years now, it's gonna look like an awesome,

214
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: awesome contract if he remains healthy, and I don't really

215
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: view his durability as a reason to not get that contract,

216
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: if anyone's hemming and hauling about that. Also, if there's

217
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: if there's really any analysis to be done, it's like,

218
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: once the guys over a certain level, they're going to

219
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: get that contract, So when do you give it to him?

220
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: And the Eagles decided to do it as early as

221
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: humanly possible, which is smart because the price after Dak

222
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: Prescott signs will probably only go up. And when is

223
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: that a point right now where he's coming off an injury,

224
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: maybe except a little less guarantees, Like all these contracts

225
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: eventually end up being middle of the pack and looking better,

226
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: so you might if you're committed to a guy, and

227
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: of course they're committed to him, you just signed him

228
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: as quick. It's almos. It's almost like when you take

229
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: your children out for dinner or something and then the

230
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: bill comes. And for my children, who are like seven

231
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: and eight, if the bill is like forty five dollars,

232
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: it is mind blowing money and they can't comprehend, like

233
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: it's or can we afford that as a family. They

234
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: have no concept of money at all. Fans, if I

235
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: if I'm just a fan, I don't know why I'd

236
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: ever worry about contracts at all. There's so much cap space.

237
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: People worried about it, but it's it just seems to

238
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: me like a non issue. In two nineteen, another tired

239
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: take two is is that this always have the second

240
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: it happened Jared, like a bunch of Jeff's they break

241
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: out the Birdman Jeff where he's uh, you know, he's like,

242
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, rubbing his hands together, all excited about getting

243
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: more money or whatever. It's like it's like, oh, Dak Prescott,

244
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff that here's them watching the Carson Wentz contract.

245
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: They're all excited. No it's like, no, there, well, all

246
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: of these contracts all go up. They like those guys

247
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: would get their contracts no matter what. And imagine if

248
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: you're a fan of a team that always has a

249
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: target on its back and all your signings like a C. J.

250
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Moseley or Levian Bell, you get killed for it because

251
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: they got too much money. That is a little bit annoying. Uh,

252
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: I agree, it's all it's it's funny money right now.

253
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: Two more things you mentioned golf and he wants to

254
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: get that bag. He's the first overall pick in the

255
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: year Wins went number two. You wonder what contract he's

256
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna get. And I think for a guy that's done

257
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot in the league in the last couple of years,

258
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: he's still I think has to perform at a very

259
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: high level to get Wins money despite being a think ahead.

260
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: But where we stand today, I'd be shocked if he doesn't.

261
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: The Rams have indicated he's getting it and they're not.

262
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: They're they're committed to give it to him. Now. I

263
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: think if you don't, I think they will by by

264
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: the start of this season. I think is kind of

265
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: is kind of their deadline. And then my last thought

266
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: on Wentz is I did get some tweets. I don't

267
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: know about you guys when we did Dalton Scale and

268
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: maybe another other exercise we did in the last month

269
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: or so. How come you guys aren't talking about wins,

270
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: Whether he deserves to be somewhere, doesn't desire to be somewhere.

271
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: We're all in the agreement that Wentz he was a

272
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: key to me and that Yeah, we didn't get tweets

273
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: because we didn't. We didn't mention every quarterback above the

274
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: any Dalton. His name did not come up during that

275
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: episode without any question. I think I had him at

276
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: like ten or eleven because we feel the same way

277
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson and Howie Roseman do that this guy is

278
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: an ascendance star. Despite the injury issues and other news.

279
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: Trent Williams uh the standout tackle for the Redskins. He

280
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: has not been around Redskins O t a s. He

281
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: also skipped uh mandatory minicamp. Initially, the the feeling was

282
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: it was due to his contract and he wants he

283
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: wants that bag. He wants a bigger bag, breaking bag.

284
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: In what our money Drop, it's at that podcast. Sometimes

285
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: you're just a little late on the curve on these.

286
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: But I like, this is truly the Dad podcast right

287
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: now because we don't have a force in here. It's

288
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: just all Dad. Uh So, three men and a little

289
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: lady right behind the glass. Little Yeah, that's in a

290
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: tiny lady anyway. So Trent was everyone thought, Oh, it's

291
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: because he just wants the bag. No, it's also because

292
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: he's Piste rap Sheet reported Wednesday that along with a

293
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: new contract desires, there is quote frustration from Williams over

294
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: the handling of his health scare earlier this spring. And

295
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: you may remember they had he had a growth removed

296
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: from his scalp that was originally thought to be cancerous.

297
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Luck fortunately it turned out that it was not the case.

298
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: We don't have all the details, but apparently, uh, Williams,

299
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: who has dealt with a lot of health issues nothing

300
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: that's serious in his last several years of the Redskins,

301
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: he is not happy how that situation was handled. Uh

302
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: And for that reason, on principle, he's saying he wants

303
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: out of town. Yeah. I just think this is worth

304
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: bringing up just to keep an eye on, because Trent

305
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: Williams is one of the best tackles in football when

306
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Top two or three, I would say, and

307
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the fact that he's kind of getting almost it's almost personal.

308
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: And it's not the first time you've heard some things

309
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the Redskins. They've they've had either bad luck or just

310
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot of drama with their medical situations for a

311
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: number of players over the years. Bruce Allen It commented

312
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: on it. He's of course running the Redskins, he says,

313
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: I know what the truth is. And it's just like

314
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: once they have like even a modicum of a little

315
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: bit of positivity of like, Okay, Dwayne Askins is out

316
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: there with the first team, and it's like, here's like

317
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: more negativity for the Redskins. I mean something with the

318
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: this is not selling it's going away anytime soon. You

319
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: have to wonder, if you know, he's under contract through

320
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: next season making about fourteen plus million a year, I

321
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: have to wonder if this becomes a trade situation at

322
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: some point, because it's it's extremely thorny, and like you said,

323
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: it's personal. And the Redskins you have a rookie quarterback

324
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: and potentially Eric Flowers starting at left tackle. All right,

325
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. That's that would be

326
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: a huge loss, especially the rookie quarterback. You want the

327
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: blind side, you want to you want to protecting you.

328
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: That's the that's the rule. That's essentially what the rule.

329
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not just about the bag. Sometimes it's about it.

330
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: You would think that I bet the bag would solve

331
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: it though anyway. So it's just like, you know, you

332
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: know what would solve me silently grumbling about us not

333
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: getting any hardware from these all these internal awards, the bag.

334
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: You make a strong case they're gonna secure me with

335
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: the pink slip. I don't shut up. That's what's happening

336
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: in the news. I don't think that's how it works.

337
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: From all right, let's get to it, um. Some takeaways

338
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: from mandatory Minicamp eight teams UH held their practices there.

339
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: Everyone had to be there, hence mandatory. So you finally

340
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: got a look at what these new UM updated rosters

341
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: look like on offense and defense. So let's just kind

342
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: of go around the league and throw out some things

343
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: that jumped out to us. Greg you get us going.

344
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start with the Redskins since we were

345
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: just there that I found it interesting that Haskins their

346
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: number one pick is already splitting the first team reps

347
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: with Keenum. Sometimes it's like you make the rookie work

348
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: his way into that this or that. Onlooker say, Keenum

349
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: looks a little more um comfortable in the offense at

350
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: this point, which isn't surprising he's an NFL vet in.

351
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: But Haskins, of course looks like the guy who has

352
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: a little more upside. The bigger arm had some more

353
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: wow plays. But the fact and Jay Gruden said, they're

354
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: not even barely competing at this point. They're not even

355
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: thinking about that. I believe that in non private practices.

356
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: But the fact that they're splitting reps right off the bat,

357
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: that just would indicate to me that the tie is

358
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: going to go to the rookie usually does that. He's

359
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: got a great chance to be the week one started.

360
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, we we haven't done our coach hot seat

361
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: rankings at this point. If you're Jake Ruden, you want

362
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: the best case scenario is Haskins taking off early in

363
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: his career and suddenly you're attached to someone who's ascending.

364
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: The worst case situation is him not doing that and

365
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: hoping that you have a job from a year from

366
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: now after riding through the year with Case Keenum as

367
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: your quarterback. Case Keenum is just simply not going to

368
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: be enough for him to stick around. Jake ruden Um

369
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: on the subject of Redsin's quarterbacks. Finally some good news

370
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: on Alex Smith, who's still technically with the team, but

371
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: he suffered that devastating UH leg injury. Broken leg. He's

372
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: been wearing that the worst thing you could have because

373
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: not only is it limit your mobility in a cruel way,

374
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: but it just looks scary as how the external fixator

375
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: when they have all the wires going into your leg

376
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: to keep the leg stabilized. Well, he still has that

377
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: on and I'll have it on for another month or two,

378
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: according to Mike Garafolo, But there seems to be progress

379
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: and they and they're feeling good about It's there's not,

380
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, so much indecisiveness about what comes next in

381
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: his recovery. It's just the long road ahead. You talked

382
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks, Greg, So I'll throw another quarterback camp battle

383
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: looming in Miami. UH. From the Palm Beach Post, Let's

384
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: jump into the fish tank UH report from Hal Habib,

385
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: who says that Bryan Fitzpatrick is certainly looks ahead of

386
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen right now, but that should not be a

387
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: surprise or anything to read too much into. Even Rosen

388
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: himself said, it's not really a competition right now, although Josh,

389
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: I want you, I want to see that fire at

390
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: some point, show me the fire at some point. I'm

391
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: not gonna take one quote and make a big thing

392
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: out of it. But go get that job anyway. Fits Patrick,

393
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: don't get it, say something, do something anyway, This magic

394
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: is Um ahead of Rosen right now. Um, but what

395
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: and Rosen is catching up He got traded there, and

396
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: and Fitzpatrick had a head start Um earlier in the

397
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: process of the team year. But anyway, Uh, the I

398
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: think could be made a good point. The way you

399
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: look at the schedule, it kind of looks obvious where

400
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: is um with the Redskins. If the rookies neck and

401
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: neck with the veteran, the rookie is probably gonna start.

402
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: But with Rosen and and and Fitzpatrick's track record, it

403
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: probably makes a lot of sense potentially to give Fitzpatrick

404
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: the starting job. There's some tough games early on, there's

405
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: a bye week in early October, and then Rosen gets

406
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: in early enough where you get a really good look

407
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: at him, uh, and then decide whether you want to

408
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: stick with Rosen or go get some hot shot in

409
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: the draft. But right now, uh, Fitzpatrick is looking good.

410
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: He's been connecting well DeVante Parker, who by the way,

411
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: is still there and has been having a really good camp.

412
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: Something to keep an eye on. But um, right now

413
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick ahead of Rosen early on. And the way they

414
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: they've had it is the it's essentially the Fitzpatrick's versus

415
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: the Rosen's. They have the same units working with each quarterback.

416
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: So Fitzpatrick has his guys and Rosen has his guys,

417
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: and I guess Minca Fitzpatrick um on who is has

418
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: been on defense, opposing the Rosens and causing a number

419
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: of problems for Josh Rosen. But they basically said Fitzpatrick

420
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: has just been a little bit the offense has been

421
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more big, play heavy and explosive. If

422
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: we want to put anything into that at this point,

423
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: not yeah, not, I know what West would say. Not

424
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: a surprise. And also Ryan Fitzpatrick's had a pretty long

425
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: good career for a reason, Like he knows how to play,

426
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: he knows how to play quarterback the NFL level, which

427
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: Rosen still has to prove. Yeah, the Parker stuff is

428
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: just year after year he is the star of the

429
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: off season. But well, it helps to have the coach

430
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: that would tried to trade you, like four times they did.

431
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: He did quietly resigned him to a brand new contract

432
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: this offseason. I don't think we even hit that, you know,

433
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: like he could have been a free agent. They gave

434
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: him this kind of low cost deal to to bring

435
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: him back for two years instead of giving him the option.

436
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: And uh, it all paid off because the Dolphins social

437
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: media team got to put up a no look pass

438
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: by Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Parker diving on the sidelines. It

439
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. In June minicamp, it's

440
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: now June seventh, is fits. He still have that cute

441
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: little popt belly. Did he work that out? Has anybody

442
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: seen any footage? I think he's one of those athletes

443
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: he's able to readjust the look of his body so

444
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: quickly that he's probably looking you know, very spelt, I thought,

445
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: and relatable when he was jiggling all over the place

446
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: back in March. Alright, Uh, your turn, Mark, Well I

447
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: will go to Cleveland because there is a lingering concern

448
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: before all these you know, this hype fest that's happening.

449
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: It's a nice time to be a Browns fan. Um,

450
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: but I the Browns, any Browns fan that's been around

451
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: you now it is because you are wondering how it

452
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: will will go number one, and I don't want to

453
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: get I don't I see some Browns fans out there

454
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: already sort of saying, like, just book us for the

455
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl, how about go when it. Let's see what

456
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: happens by the end of October this nine start that

457
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: would I want to see progress, but I don't want

458
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: to get in all that that. The concern for me

459
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: is has been and continues to be the offensive line

460
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: because they just parted ways with Desmond Harrison, who was

461
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: a bit of a disaster at tackle to start the

462
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: season last year because he was not showing up to

463
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: meetings on time. I don't know how this whole story

464
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals picked him up, but they now have Greg Robinson

465
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: and Chris Hubbard at tackle. I think I would view

466
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: both of those situations as highly suspect no matter how

467
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: they played at the end of last year. The other

468
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: concern is that you traded away Ken van Zeitler, and

469
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: at right guard they wanted to have Austin Corbett go

470
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: in there, and in mini camp this week he has

471
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time essentially just rotating at garden

472
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: backup center. There's a guy Eric Kush battling for the

473
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: right guard position, and Corbett is someone that is not

474
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: essentially in year two, which they needed him to step

475
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: up starting role supporting actor Eric Cush. Eric Kush absolutely,

476
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: but Corbett is not not really taken the leadership role

477
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: and stepped in and played the way they want. That

478
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: to me gives you three spots on an offensive line

479
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: that are potentially suspect with and I get all the

480
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: fancy pieces around it. But from a skill position angle,

481
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: it sounds like things are looking good because David and Joke,

482
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: who they said has been looking like a completely different

483
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: advanced player at tight end. You know, Odell has been

484
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: fine all this other stuff. But if your offensive line

485
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: has issues, teams go south quickly on a specially and

486
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: teams can. You don't need how to have you know,

487
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: big name talent to have a functional offensive line, but

488
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: it sometimes as take time to gel. So that would

489
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: be my biggest if I had to make a prediction

490
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: about the Browns is that they're going to be a

491
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: much better team. But I would not be shocked if

492
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: they go get out of the gate a little bit

493
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: slower than people expect and then kind of hit their stride.

494
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Uh and the offensive line struggles would certainly if that happens,

495
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: be a major reason why. Alright, greag, go ahead, all right,

496
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's talk about the Lions, just because I

497
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: feel like we never do on this show. Uh. That there.

498
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: It was hard to find much there that like a

499
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: lot of takeaways from their mini camp, but they were

500
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: one of the teams. The thing that caught my eye

501
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: was that they were doing some three tight end sets

502
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: and that they were really talking about Theoretic had a

503
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: nice camp or whatever. It looked fairly good what you

504
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: would expect, but his spot on the team is a

505
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: little uncertain. They're playing with three tight ends, that's at

506
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: a time. Sometimes they've got all these running backs C. J. Anderson,

507
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: Theo Riddick's number three, Carrie on Johnson's number one. You've

508
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: got a rookie two who's gonna be in the mix,

509
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: and they are kind of looking at to me on

510
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: offense a little bit like maybe the Patriots were a

511
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: year ago, where they're gonna run and run the ball

512
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: a ton, they're gonna want to throw out of those

513
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: two three tight end sets to kind of keep teams

514
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: off balance. And that's your new Detroit Lions. Yeah, and

515
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: Dave Brockett of the Detroit Free Press noted that rookie

516
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: tight end t J. Hawkinson on a in the end

517
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: zone essentially got a pass from Stafford where he kind

518
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: of casually just tried to one hand to catch or something.

519
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't casually is the right word, but Matt Patricia

520
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: just blew up on him. So it's like they need

521
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: him to be big. I think the other thing in

522
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Detroit Darius Slay Damon Harrison both away from the team

523
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: and contract issues. So that's two key players. I like

524
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: teams that uh now that this is mandatory work and

525
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: they want new contracts and so that's an issue. But

526
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: players are treating the voluntary part of organized team activities

527
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: more voluntary than ever and it's less of a big deal,

528
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: I think than it's ever been. Yeah, um, let's move on.

529
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: If this podcast we're voluntary, would you show up in

530
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: I would? It's kind of become a very important part

531
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: of my job. And if I didn't show up for

532
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: this offer mentioned pink slip, but probably come for me.

533
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm here every show just about with good reason,

534
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: good answer. Uh, voluntary workouts. You brought up that and

535
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell is an example. Did not show up

536
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: to any of the O t as ahead of this

537
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: week's minicamph is in attendance this week or was an attendance.

538
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: It's over now, but we'll not does not plan to

539
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: attend the follow up O t A s voluntary before

540
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: heading into the summer break um. But that's not really

541
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: what I want to talk about. He did look good

542
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: by the way he looks fast, But he's uh the

543
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: writer for the Athletic that covers the Jets who does

544
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: a very nice job. Greg's very good things names, so

545
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: he'll remind me his first name is Connor Hughes. Connor

546
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Hughes does an excellent job for the Athletic. Said that

547
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: Bell operates under the different speed that he's seen with

548
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: other running backs on the Jets, and the Jets have

549
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: not had bad running backs in recent years. They've had

550
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: some decent guys. But anyway, the big problem with Levian

551
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: Bell is the drama around him and with creating art. Um,

552
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: it's good to have that to malt around you. Sometimes

553
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: some of the best work of say a Dylan or

554
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Springsteen or whoever comes when there's stuff going on. Jacobs

555
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: Jacob Delan of course talking about the wallflowers and yes, um,

556
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Levian Bell had more than five dred thousand dollars worth

557
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: of jewelry, jewelry stolen from his home. And this is

558
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: from the Associated Press. Mark it's not and that's that happens. Unfortunately,

559
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: athletes and actors and celebrities are targeted for homes. It's

560
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: just a sad fact of life and today's society, much

561
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: like terrorism and other things that you wish you weren't around.

562
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: But it's just the way it is. But there is

563
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: an interesting little twist to this story. While Levian Bell

564
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: is preparing with the jets, what what was happening? How

565
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: did the money or the jewelry exit? Well? Right, so

566
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: they I mean, that's the story that came out, I

567
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: believe you yesterday was that um, he was robbed by

568
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: not his girlfriend but by his girl friends, girl friends

569
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: while he's away. And what I like is that you

570
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: think there might I don't know. I don't know what

571
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: the actual category of girlfriend in this if we're talking

572
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: about it's a serious relationship with two at the same time.

573
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, but that you think

574
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: there might be a little jealousy between them and maybe

575
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: they wouldn't want to be around each other instead. While

576
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: he's gone doing his job, he was at the gym.

577
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: This love this they are working as like a duo

578
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: crime team together to rob him of this jewelry. No,

579
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: we haven't heard a lot, do you know that? Well

580
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: they are, That's what the story suggests. I'm just saying,

581
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: maybe is according to the associated who knows, maybe one

582
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: took out the other and you don't even know where

583
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: that other girl is. You know. The article is is

584
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: short and there's more to come on, but it suggests

585
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: that they they operated in unison to steal half more

586
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,239
Speaker 1: than half of the jewelry. It's been a while in

587
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: terms of the culture. You almost have to go back

588
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: to that Charlie Sheen arrow where he went crazy and

589
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: had the tiger blood stuff going on when two girlfriends

590
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: was in the public eye. So now it's back with

591
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: lev and it just does show you the dangerous of it.

592
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of juggling and sometimes, um,

593
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: you don't know when you're not there. The two ladies

594
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: and the same thing. I don't want to be sexist, Erica.

595
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: It could be the same way. You could have two boyfriends,

596
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: or a woman could have two boyfriends or two girlfriends.

597
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: Those when you're not there, it happened. They're talking. Have

598
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: you seen John Tucker Must Die? Maybe they didn't know

599
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: about each other and then they found out and they're like,

600
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: let's get out to let's know. That feels like a logical,

601
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: that sounds like a nice reboot Lady on Bell Must Die.

602
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: It's funny because like gritty Ruby reboot. You read this

603
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: story and you kind of feel at least I do

604
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: you know you feel bad for Levy on Bell here

605
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: you're not thinking of him why he's the victim in

606
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: this situation. But this could easily be turned into like

607
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: a script where it's like kind of a fun uh

608
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: no romantic comedy with you know friends. It struck me

609
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: as a delightful story, but if you really get behind it,

610
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: it's not delightful at all. Circling back to how something

611
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: you know tumult in your personal life could lead to

612
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: great art. Of course, I'm referring to Levy on Bill's

613
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: incredible burgeoning rap career, and since he's in New York Jet,

614
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: I am all about on the rapper. Well, yeah, you

615
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: you asked, why would I feel bad for America? Because

616
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: if you know, when I lose my black panther pendant

617
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: with black and white diamonds, it's painful. I don't work

618
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: pretty hard, work pretty hard source of pride, But I

619
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: think it's kind of mess up that. You know, maybe

620
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: if they knew about each other, if these girlfriends knew

621
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: about you, but I feel like they're you know, there's

622
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: some big assumption you're making though, and it could have

623
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: been girlfriends. When I first read it, I was like,

624
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: what if you called girlfriends like his friends? That are

625
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: girls that too? But it feels too ails to suggest

626
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: something else though exactly it indicated that they were both

627
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: staying at his and that you know, that's how you know. Okay,

628
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: So if they knew about each other, then I don't

629
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: feel as bad. But why are you keeping half a

630
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: million dollars in jewelry in your in your money here?

631
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: How how far five grand takes you. In addition to

632
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: Greg's um matching black panther pendant with the black and

633
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: white diamonds, there was a rolex two gold chains with

634
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: diamonds because actually doesn't take you that far, you know.

635
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a mount like when you

636
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: when you like kill a dragon and there's like a

637
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: mountain of gold under him. That's what I pictured it

638
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: to be. There was one other little Jets snugget and

639
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: I know, Dan, you hate this, uh this stuff, but

640
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: Matt Stipulskovsky um not saying that right at all, apologies

641
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: to his entire family from NJ dot Com, had this

642
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: little sentence that I liked. Yes, the Jets practices are

643
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: intense as gaze and defensive coordinator Greg Williams battle for

644
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: supremacy on a daily basis delicious. Yeah, well I love it. Well, yeah,

645
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: there are there are some reports that had a couple

646
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: of hundred sepations and Greg Williams is sort of famous

647
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: for like bringing the house and every blitz possible like

648
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: O T A s in mini camps and so right

649
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: now the defense is ahead, and people brought out like

650
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: brought out some clips for the exact same thing was

651
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: happening with the Browns a year ago at this at

652
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: this point, like, come down, Greg Williams. Now, that's so

653
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: everyone loves to beat up on Greg Williams, but everyone

654
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: is so in love with the Browns. Now, Greg Williams

655
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: is the man that brought that team to respectability. I

656
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: don't hear this Freddie Kitchens, oh Baker figured it out

657
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: and say that is a team and complete tatters on

658
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: fire after they fire the GM and the coach, and

659
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: it's Greg Williams who studies the ship and makes that

660
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the a f C

661
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: in the second half. I don't want to hear anything else.

662
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to kill you on that take.

663
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: He did a much better job than the person employed

664
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: before him. And I'll never Dan getting in here. And

665
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: let me just say this also, I've never had Greg

666
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Williams on my favorite team before. I am enjoying the

667
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: Greg Williams experience as a fan. It's just a little

668
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: spicier than having some no name DC you know, and

669
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: guys like Greg and get crazy about the worst thing

670
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: will happen, and I'll throw in my little digs and

671
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: mentioned that Donald through interceptions, I don't care. I want

672
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: spiciness around my team. Success would be nice too, but

673
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: spiciness number two. Dan's getting in as many. Greg Williams

674
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: uh plaud it says he can this episode, Well what

675
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: West is not here? Yeah, because we would be bellowing

676
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be able to record. The very boring

677
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: record will show that no one has spoken up for

678
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: Greg Williams is totally fine record on this podcast. More

679
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: than me he is. I always point out that he's fine.

680
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: He gets bounced out with needless digs of the jets

681
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: at all times, so it's kind of now just anyway

682
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: it is up needless. Let's go down. No, we were

683
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: going in this direction as Greg dan Mark, we're doing

684
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: a lot of double dipping on other people's stuff. Well,

685
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: that's works. Let's go down to Tampa Bay the Bucks

686
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: who we almost never talked about either. Little guy by

687
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: the name of Scotty Miller, wide receiver, catching a lot

688
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: of buzz early on. You know, of course, Adam Humphries

689
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: out the door. Jamis Winston said, six round picks. Scotty

690
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: Miller has anything about him? Right? Is he? And I'm

691
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: close to you? Is he a slot receiver that is

692
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: a grinder. He is five ft nine in a hundred

693
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: and seventy six pounds. You're not wrong. He absolutely fits

694
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: that category to go to a smaller school he did.

695
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: Was he either U, F A or um? He was

696
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: a six round? He was late. Yes, so you be

697
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: a white man. The profile you have built is correct

698
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: if you if you want to, Yes, as far as

699
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: I know. But Bruce arians also called him a John

700
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: Brown type. So I didn't have a lot coming out

701
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: of Bucks camp. There wasn't a ton to work with. Uh.

702
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: Their young defensive backs are doing well apparently, but there

703
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: was not a ton of information coming out of that camp.

704
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: All right, very good, you're for Serian said, he's their

705
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Their secondary is fine. They solved it. H I wanted

706
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: to go to Denver, Uh, not where Joe Flacco has

707
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: wowed um onlookers by von According to Von Miller, throwing

708
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: an eight yard pass across the field you know not

709
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, from one hash mark to the other. One

710
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: kind of giving Broncos fans perhaps some some memories of

711
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: his famous throw in the two thousand and twelve playoffs. Yeah,

712
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: a throw that changed history. Really. Uh they lose that game. Otherwise,

713
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe Manning gets another title. Who who knows

714
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: what happens if he doesn't hit that throw, But he's

715
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: showing off his big arm. He's healthy, that's my big

716
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: main takeaway. He's just he's healthy, he's moving well. There's

717
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: no physical problems with Joe Flacco, and that's been pretty

718
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: rare in an off seat off season for almost never

719
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: ever happens in an offseason for him lately, So I

720
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: think that's positive. And there's a lot of you know,

721
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: talk about him, but one one comment from DeVante Bookers

722
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: stuck out to me. Just everyone really liking his leadership

723
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: and that he's getting all the first team reps. There's

724
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: no competition there and book Are saying he's such a

725
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: cool guy. He talks to everybody in the locker room.

726
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: Previous quarterbacks didn't really do that much here. They just

727
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: be on the field, get the job done, and we

728
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: see each other walking through the halls or something, and

729
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even acknowledge us. It's like, whoa the Blanco's quarterback? Okay,

730
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: but Booker has only been around a few years, so

731
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's case keen him, that's Paxton, that's

732
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Lynch doesn't surprise anybody. Yeah, I thought case would be

733
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: a little more hands out, but that's just one man's comment.

734
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: Since he's in his fourth season in the and uh

735
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: and they went through the athletic had all these quotes

736
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: just about how much everyone loves Flacco and he's and

737
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: he's fired up, and the Drew lock experience supposedly, yeah,

738
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: pretty up and down so far in practice he got

739
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: knocked down competition. They're not that you would expect it,

740
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: but you know that's Flacco's gonna get his chance. He's

741
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna get his legit chiance. Let's go over to Green Bay,

742
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: where as we know, new brain trust there with the

743
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: head coach and Aaron Rodgers, big year for him, and

744
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: we've talked about it endlessly on the show. Well what

745
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: about the fact that they didn't really add a lot

746
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: of uh firepower and offense. I guess these young guys

747
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: are gonna have to step up so at camp. Aaron Rodgers,

748
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: who you'll remember that Tyler Donne expose um in which

749
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: quote Rogers showed virtually zero trust, and his three rookie

750
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: receivers jim My own More, Marques Valdez, Scantling and Equan

751
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: st Brown. Uh and also said Donne reported that a

752
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: source told him that Rogers quote didn't like uh Valdez scantling. Well,

753
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: Rogers singing a different tune this week. At least he

754
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: had this to say. I think Marquees mar Marquez had

755
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: has had a fantastic spring and really stepped up as

756
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: a guy who can be an every down player. And

757
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: then I expect a big bounce back year from Jimmy

758
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: going to Graham, He's healthy, he's feeling good. The offense

759
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: I think fits him and his body type. But I'm

760
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: not going to shy away from throwing the ball to Davante.

761
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: He also said he wants to get the ball more

762
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: to Davante Adams. Uh the lone star player and Adams

763
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: had the second most targets in the NFL last so so.

764
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: But I think the bigger takeaway from this is, yes,

765
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: it is a reminder that he is going to need

766
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: to develop a rapport with these young receivers or this

767
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Packer's offense isn't gonna go. So we'll see when Marquez

768
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: Velde's Hanley. Can we not just call him m VS?

769
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: I think that's a that rolls off the tongue it's

770
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: easier for you to deal with this guy p f

771
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: T guy Michael David Smith inside the industry. Every he

772
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: just calls him MDS and he's a foot And then

773
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: that wouldn't even trample on m VS, which to me

774
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: is just a home run nickname if it's not already

775
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: his name, although you can miss hear it and be like, wait,

776
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: are you talking about Michael David Smith. Well, that's on

777
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: the listener, that's that's the Marriers, not the person who

778
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: said m VS. And I don't think they would be

779
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: just talking about Michael David Smith most of the time. Uh. Well,

780
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: the Giants, obviously, you know, they are committed to Eli

781
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: Manning sitting in the quarterback position for the next three

782
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: or four seasons, despite having taken Daniel Jones early, and

783
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: people are asking sort of what happened. That's not true,

784
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: by the way, listeners, they have not committed to that.

785
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: But go on, well, they've talked about him potentially starting

786
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: for the next two seasons and I think he's to it.

787
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: Well that I disagree they they seem to have their

788
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: head on backwards on this one. I have two notes

789
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: from from Giants minicamp. One is that they talked about

790
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: the fact that Daniel Jones and this is why I

791
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: think he's gonna see the field quickly. I really do

792
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: think so. Shermer has been talking him up, saying his

793
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: head is swimming much less than most rookie quarterbacks and

794
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: that he has shown, according to Matt Lombardo of The

795
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: Star Ledger, a higher propensitive to push the ball deep

796
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: with more accuracy, while Manning continues to do his annoying

797
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: little checks downs. And what amid what seems I added annoying,

798
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: I added annoying, But he did mention Matt Lombardo an

799
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: erosion of arm strength, which is obvious to anyone that's

800
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: watched The Giants of Late the second note, I would

801
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 1: have um on Pat Shermer because we were all doing

802
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: our research before the show, going around looking at these

803
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: various beat writers and the reports. A picture of Patch Shermer.

804
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: He is looking super bulky like big giant muscles and

805
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: gigantic calves like Pat Schremer. Never struck me as a

806
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: physical specimen. He's looking tight. In fact, I called him

807
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: thick T H I C C and was told that's

808
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: not the correct use of thick. Could be more kind

809
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: of just like borderline, big boned, but he just seems

810
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: like he's been cutting out. You saw the photo. Yeah,

811
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: his his body mass index is definitely down. Not a

812
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: younger man, not old, but not a younger man to teach.

813
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: Just turned in April and courage have definition in his

814
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: arms showing through the long sleeves. That speaks to him

815
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: and let's put in the work. Daniel Jones getting a

816
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: lot of pop too, for like running around. Everyone's excited

817
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: like quarterback that run and that he's looked good and

818
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: that he's looked good. But ultimately he's he's not going

819
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: to be the most important rookie, at least in week one.

820
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: And they've already moved two of their first round picks,

821
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: the Dexter Lawrence and DeAndre Baker into their first into

822
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: their starting lineup right off the bat. As that's gonna

823
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: be a big part of their season. Al Right, one

824
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: more time around, Greg, you gotta go sure, Let's go

825
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: to uh New England where Jared Mayo first year of

826
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: coaching is the defensive play color. I find that pretty interesting.

827
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot of it's a lot of faith in

828
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: Drod Mayo and maybe that'll change when the season starts.

829
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like Belichick makes the game plans and Mayo

830
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: calls the plays on on game day, but that is

831
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: and I love Gerard Mayo's injuries kind of cut his

832
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: career a little shorter than it could have been. But

833
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: a great patriot and interesting to see. Also, Joe Tuney

834
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: is their left tackle right now, who has played the

835
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: last four years at guard because they don't have a

836
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: healthy left tackle. Grayed out at six from Win was

837
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: their first round pick a year ago. There's a hope

838
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: that he'd be ready for Week one, but that seems

839
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: to be greg at left tackle and Dante SCARNECKI will

840
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: make him a positive PF talent. I mean, he got

841
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: Night Solder paid, he got Trent Brown paid. And of

842
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: course in New England, Uh, they celebrated last night. The

843
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: ring said did that getting six rings and just seeing

844
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: that there is something kind of crazy about seeing Bill

845
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: Belichick there with eight Super Bowl rings because he brought

846
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: his Giants ones in and just like I own, you know,

847
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: he like owns like a fifth of the Super Bowl rings.

848
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: And I've always the name of the boat too, that

849
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: he has to keep repainting the boat. It's now named

850
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: eight rings. Uh. Speaking of the Patriots, UM, don't just

851
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: move past that. Tom Brady, what a great what a

852
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: great playing and the rings are getting bigger and bigger,

853
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully there's nothing to disrespectful like they did to

854
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: the Falcons the last time they want a title with

855
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: the rubbing and the deficit they wiped out which was

856
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: just class list and Arthur Blank, the Falcons owner, said so. Um.

857
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: But the biggest story they have, like an image of

858
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: Jared Goff missing that threat comes up. It just Jared

859
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: Goff like shaking it during the anthem p going down,

860
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: Greg Um. The biggest story around the Patriots, though, was

861
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: the news this week that Brady's legal team sneakily tried

862
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: to copyright uh Tom Terrific and make it their own,

863
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: which is absolutely disgraceful knowing that Tom Siever and I'm

864
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: not a Mets fan, but that is one of the

865
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: most important figures in New York sports history. Three times

866
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: Cy Young Award winner, a Hall of Famer, he was

867
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: Tom Terrific. He was the star of the sixty nine Mets.

868
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: Of course, Uh. Tom Brady tried to get his fingers

869
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: all over that copyright. Uh, and then once it was

870
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: figured out, it was time to figure out what to say.

871
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: Here's what Tom said, It's it's unfortunate. I was actually

872
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: trying to do something because I didn't like the nickname

873
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: and I want to make sure no one used it

874
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: because some people wanted to use it, so um, I

875
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: was trying to keep people from using it, and then

876
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: it got spun around to something different than what it was.

877
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: So good lesson learned and try to do things a

878
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: little different in the future. He's not buying that. He's

879
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: so full of it, Like, what does he just spend

880
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: all day copyrighting things he doesn't want to be called?

881
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: Are you using that for his name on some like,

882
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, cheap cheap T shirts? He didn't want that? Oh,

883
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: I mean everyone's like, oh, Tom Siever one of the

884
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: greatest pictures ever. Does he feel bad? Uh for stealing

885
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: that nickname from the animated series that was presented as

886
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: part of Captain Kangaroo fifty seven to Tom terrific, there

887
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: you go, Here's but oh yeah, sorry, sever Or Siva writes,

888
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: here's the sun. By the way of Tom Brady trying

889
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: to back away from the story, it sounds like, hold

890
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: on here, hold on here, before we get too precious

891
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: of this. What did Tom Sever ever trademark this or

892
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: patent it? It's not Sometimes it's not about money. It's

893
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: what It's an iconic nickname um in baseball history, and Brady,

894
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: because he didn't like it, wanted to make it his

895
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: and then ostensibly profit off at somehow if anyone else

896
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: try to use it. I'm sure Tom Sever's people were

897
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: on firing out it, right. I mean, there's a nine

898
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: minute set stop defending the man, nine minute segment on

899
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: YouTube of Boomer A Siasin ranting about this that Tom

900
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: Brady is not Tom Tray. I suggest everyone never watched that.

901
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: What other little well I thought heartwarming nugget about the

902
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: ring hand out? Josh Gordon finally gets a Super Bowl ring? Yeah,

903
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean that should give it in like, why are you?

904
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: Why are you? I just think when I when I

905
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: think that someone in absolutely you know, should be running

906
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: around town with a Super Bowl ring. He's been through

907
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot and you know absolutely was crucial in getting

908
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: that by that they ended up getting. He called it heartwarming. Um.

909
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: My last note is on the act of coaches giving

910
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: canceling the last practice and what they do at the time,

911
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: so it's a team building exercise. The Jets, for instance,

912
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: Adam Gays canceled practice and went to Top Golf. That's

913
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: a good choice. I love top golf. It's a fun activity.

914
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: The Dolphins a little basic. They canceled practice and they

915
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: go bowling. Well, and their new head coach went and

916
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: got a Super Bowl ring too that night. Yeah, and um,

917
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care who got a ring.

918
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: I don't care about the Patriots and their rings or

919
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: anything else. It doesn't matter to me. Finally, but the

920
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: one I really like. Nice job by Vick Faggio, who

921
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: did an excellent job with the Broncos. He did a

922
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: full field day, he canceled practice and he gave the

923
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: guys on the Broncos got to do this home run derby,

924
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: remote control car race, basket, a ball shootout, water balloon toss,

925
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: shaved the Italian ice station. That's great. Golf chipping contest,

926
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: dunk tank, and there was a rumor. I don't know

927
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: if it sounds overly complex, John Elway will be participating

928
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: in the dunk take dunk tank. That is great. That's

929
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: how you do it. Everybody follow follow. Those are all

930
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: things you hate by the way, mark every Italian I

931
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: station sounds appealing to me. Uh, close it out. Mark

932
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: One little other Patriots nugget from the Mike Lombardi podcast,

933
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: there was this point made if he has done, If

934
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: Robed Gronkowski is actually done, why is he going to

935
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: TB twelve to work out every day? Why isn't he

936
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: Why isn't he Miami working out? Why is he not

937
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: losing weight and getting all thin? Alah, Joe Thomas, He

938
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: is staying in top physical condition, not simply, you know,

939
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: fading into some sort of Hollywood Hills scenario where he's

940
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: out till three in the morning with a bunch of minkstress.

941
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 1: Is No, he is working out like a crazy man.

942
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: It just suggests to me that the door is not

943
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: closed on his return. Well, I agree with you. I

944
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: think I think he's coming back. But even if he

945
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 1: wasn't coming back, I feel like Gronk, And I don't

946
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: want to, you know, paint the guy in a simplistic light,

947
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: but I feel like that Gronk. That's what Rob Gronkowski. Yeah,

948
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna He pumps down in Miami for a lot

949
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: of the off season. He hangs with hot chicks, on

950
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: boats and he hangs with his brothers. Like I feel

951
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: like working out is always going to be a big

952
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: part of it. I I don't doubt that, but I

953
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: just think the level of intensity, uh suggests Um. Not

954
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: that I've observed these workouts with the naked eye, but

955
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: you know, just that he's he's still plugged in. You

956
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: could at least take a couple of months after you

957
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: retire and kind of float away and do whatever you want.

958
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: The opposite is happening. Anybody that's will be surprised if

959
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: he comes back just you know, pull together. It wouldn't

960
00:50:58,680 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: be a shock if he comes back. I mean there

961
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 1: are a raging need for him on the roster, also huge,

962
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: and it got bigger this week. All right, that's it.

963
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: As we teased on Wednesday, throw out some iTunes reviews,

964
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: now Apple podcast reviews. I guess we shouldn't call it whatever. Um,

965
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 1: let's see, let's see, let's go through it. Uh, five stars.

966
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm reading these by the way as I see them,

967
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: so don't read into what I'm choosing. Um, five stars,

968
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: but it will take one star off if Mark keeps

969
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: mispronouncing se Quan. It's sae quon, not so Quan. I'm

970
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: not even a Giants fan, but it bothers the hell

971
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: out of me every time. Wow in Hot out of

972
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 1: the Gate. So are you allowed to edit your your

973
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: star rating? Maybe you are? Maybe this one from Zach

974
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: more entertaining than Move the Sticks, but not as intelligent.

975
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: Sorry well, I mean, you know, none of the four

976
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: of us have been touted as future NFL GM at

977
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: this point. I think that's fair. If you want to

978
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 1: totally like boring but intelligent podcast, that's that's an option.

979
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: He loves the show in the fun atmosphere. They have

980
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: some good things to say, and I really appreciate that

981
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: they don't sound They don't seem professional at all, so

982
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: it's very attainable knowledge. I mean the wording here. I

983
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: also like that they talk about their own fandom blah

984
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah whatever is that sounds like Evan

985
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: Silva to me. Thank you for the five stars. Um oh,

986
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: this is nice Dan's great hair five stars. As a

987
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: forty five year old bald man, I really look up

988
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: to the hair game that Dan has. Wait, so you're

989
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: just sifting through and picking the ones to us, kind

990
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: of like Brian R. Locker R Locker was great when

991
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: he came on our Super Bowl shows. Um, but it

992
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: is weird that he grew the hair back. That's all.

993
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: That's all saying that. Uh, let's see. You want me

994
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: to find something that presents you in a pause of light, Mark,

995
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: I'll do it. I mean, unless it's gonna take it long.

996
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, we've got three thousand, six hundred ratings.

997
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: That's just like a such a small fraction of the

998
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: the audience. So if you've made it this far, it's

999
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: Friday in the off season. We're fifty minutes in here,

1000
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: we're reading iTunes. You are our people. You are the

1001
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: people that should listen and just help us out and

1002
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: throw in that five stars and and put a comment.

1003
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: And at this point, because that number we're gonna jack,

1004
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: we need to jack it up. I want to see

1005
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: it at four when I come back. Asher Bonner, Paul says,

1006
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: could be better. Five stars. Bring Clayborne on full time.

1007
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Liz Claiborne. I don't know who's a friend. Maybe Patrick

1008
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: uh nice? At least at least it was a compliment.

1009
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: Five stars, and you know they like Claybourne. That's something. Oh,

1010
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 1: this one's good. Mark from overlord. Talking about animal deaths

1011
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: is wrong. One star used to love the POB but

1012
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: the latest Draft for You episode, they spent over five

1013
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: minutes talking about murdering cats in Australia and how it's okay.

1014
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: Then they all chimed in with other atrocious stories of

1015
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: mass animal killings. I think I was at the show,

1016
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: but U this is a football podcast where this type

1017
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: of banter shouldn't be allowed. Not that they'll care, but

1018
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: they just lost a loyal listener. Wow that I don't

1019
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: like spending twenty minutes on cat deaths, but I don't

1020
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: doubt that it occurred. Spent spency b on ma gave

1021
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: a perfect example of what you should do with your

1022
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: iTunes review. Five stars and then just as show grade

1023
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: B minus. Great job. Why I like the show Five

1024
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: stars by bp W co workers use NFL topics as

1025
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: cover for sixty minutes of New York constantly ball busting.

1026
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: I like, uh, I'm just jumping in there as I'm

1027
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: seeing ones that are amusing me. One star pointless. Great.

1028
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: If they want to hear people complain about movies they

1029
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: watched years ago, that's fair, that's a totally fair. I

1030
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: hated the show when we were talking about Game of

1031
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 1: Thrones every week or every show for a while. There.

1032
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: It happens sometimes. Uh like it a lot. Brancas been

1033
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: listening since two thousand fifteen. There's a strong dad core

1034
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: undercurrent which permeates the show dad Core Erica, you are

1035
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: a youth, You're a millennial, petite millennial. Tell me what

1036
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: dad core means. I don't even know. I would say

1037
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: dad core like you could. You guys definitely have like

1038
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: the dad jokes. You know you guys are just you

1039
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: guys are dad. I think it's just a relatable type.

1040
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: I like this one one out of one star out

1041
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: of five headline by Booga Holic in its only comment

1042

1043
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: by Bijavila turning into one of my favorite pods. Love

1044
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: the different opinions and that they not all agree in

1045
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: to the same thing and why I'm pointing this one out.

1046
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: Screg gets surprisingly very funny. Hold on this surprising is

1047
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dig, but I'll still take you.

Speaker 1: plus M, which plays well off the bluster of D

1054
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: like we don't have long names to spell out, just

1055
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: spell them out all the wreck and there's no bluster here.

1056
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: It's all substantial. All the recognition you guys are getting

1057
