1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: The volume What is going On? Everybody three and Out

2
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: podcast from me John Middlecoff. UH subscribe, share it with

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: your friends. Let's rock and roll baby, big week end.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: UH recording this on Thursday. A lot going on. Antonio Brown,

5
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Rogers Vers, some guy named Hub I've never heard of,

6
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: but I guess that became a thing. The NFL is

7
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: thinking about moving the super Bowl, and as a California resident,

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: I think they would make the right decision to all

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: head on the Jerry's Palace and put the super Bowl

10
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: in Dallas. We obviously have some big games this weekend.

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Chargers Raiders is the biggest, UH Niners Rams I will

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: be in attendance, pretty big one as well. There are

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: other games where one team mattered. I guess the Saints

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Falcons game is pretty big. A lot of games are

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: fighting for seating. And then I think there's kind of

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: this elephant in the room that I have just kind

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: of hit me yesterday. Black Monday's right around the corner.

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: We are going to, you know, kind of find out

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: here pretty soon. Who's gonna get fired. We got a

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: pretty good idea, but how it's all gonna play out.

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: Very very fascinated to watch a couple of these wild cards.

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: So Middlecoff mail bag, you can always hit me up

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff as the Instagram, slide up in those

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: d m s and get your question answered here on

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: the show. Let's start with Antonio Brown and yesterday, I

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: I usually go to uh, the CVS by my house

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: whenever I need something like body wash. Uh, if I'm traveling,

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: you know those little you know, when you got a

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: shaved head, you gotta always bring shaving cream on the road.

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: But you can only have the small ones. You can't

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: bring the big ones to the little edge. And so

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I went to CVS. And anytime you go to CVS

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: or Walgreens or any of those type stores, they always

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: have the tabloids at the you know, right when you're

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: checking out, which I'd be lying if I. At at

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: one point in my life that type stuff didn't interest me,

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: fascinated me, and I read us weekly People magazine. Now

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: it's like you can only put so many pictures of

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian, J Lo and Ben Affleck on that thing,

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: Like eventually he starts to bore you. It's like, I

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: do not care where Kim Kardashian is with Pete Davidson.

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: It was a little more interesting a decade ago when

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: she hadn't been that relevant for that long, right, because

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: you're like, who is this person? What is this? And

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: the tabloids one thing, and listen, I understand they have

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: a business to run. They play the hits. I mean

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: there are four or five. You're getting a lot of

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Megan Markel and I can only see Megan Markle so

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: many times before I go I do not care. It

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: doesn't even begin to interest me. What is going on

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: with Megan Markle and her husband and the Euros. I'm out.

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: I've given up on the Royal family. Cool story like

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: five years ago, not anymore. Like who j Lo? She's

54
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: back with Ben Affleck. I do not care. And one

55
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: thing with Antonio Brown is he's like TMZ of the NFL.

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: It's always something. I woke up this morning kind of early.

57
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to get my work out in little Jocko

58
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: style before the sunrise, and I, you know, first thing

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: I do, it's not the healthiest thing to do. I

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: check my phone. So I'm looking at Twitter and I

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: see all this stuff going on with Antonio Brown, and

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: my first reaction was, I do not give a shit.

63
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: I refuse to spend much time looking into this now.

64
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I read the text message that he tweeted out about

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Alex Guero and Bruce Arians, and I was like, what

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: what are we reading? What are we doing? And I

67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: saw so many people that covered the NFL like this

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: is crazy, this is awesome. It's like, how are we

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: still doing that? With the Antonio Brown every single for

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: years now? For years he has been doing things out

71
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: of left field. I'm just out, like I just do

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: not care, Like I I've tapped out of the Antonio

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Brown drama. Now it's like Alex Guerro's charging individuals a

74
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: hunter grant for doing who knows what pretty good business

75
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: he's got going on. But like, I'm not gonna pick

76
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: a side in this because I truly do not care.

77
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: But I know this, I will, I guess I will

78
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: pick a side. I'll go with Bruce Arians. I'll go

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay. I'll go with Jason Light over Antonio

80
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: Brown because Antonio Brown has a long history and I

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: don't know how anyone like and listen, maybe I'm a

82
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: little jay Did you do this long enough? If I

83
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: was twenty years old, I would be all over this.

84
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: But I I find it kind of exhausting. I find

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: it kind of you know, stupid, Like what are we

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: talking about now? The only reason he's there and we

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier when last week after I guess

88
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: earlier this week when he went crazy on Sunday, It's like,

89
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: it's because it's Tom, Like I do think Tom should

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: come out and say something in defense of his coach

91
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: and in defense of his organization, because he does bear

92
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: the responsibility of bringing this crazy situation around guys that,

93
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: let's face like Mike Evans, high level guy, right, all

94
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: their guys on defense, high level guys. You followed the

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: Dominican sue on social media. Now it did some dirty

96
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: stuff back in the day to do tweets about like, uh,

97
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, apartment real estate, how to grow your wealth? Uh,

98
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: where to get good r O I s with your

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: with your money? You know, no Dominicans do, smart guy,

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: and they got Antonio Brown doing who knows what I'm done?

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: Like I don't pick up the tabloids anymore now. I

102
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I said I never did. But

103
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: it no longer interests me. Antonio Brown, He's not good

104
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: enough to keep interesting me now, Big picture for them.

105
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: He did play a pretty big role on their team.

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: Now that god Win is a torn a c l like,

107
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: they don't have like who's gonna play wide receiver, you know,

108
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean a big reason that they had a lot

109
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: of success down the stretch last year and now with

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: god when getting hurt, who led the team and tackles

111
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: by a country mile. They now really depended on Rob Gronkowski.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: They're really dependent on Mike Evans, who's kind of become

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: this like, uh, you know this a little younger version

114
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: of Julio Jones, freaked talent, unstoppable player, but he's always injured.

115
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: There there is just some pressure on some of these

116
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: no name guys. Now, if you're a Tampa fan, you

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: you've heard of him. But the non Pro Bowl are

118
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: stepping up and it will be interesting. Obviously this week

119
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: they should roll, but when come the playoffs, like can

120
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: they win three games to get back to the super Bowl.

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: I I think I'm gonna bet against them. Well, I

122
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: know I am, because I'm not gonna pick him to

123
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. The other story U a

124
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: little different than Antonio Brown, but in the same in

125
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: the same aisle, is the journalist who I had never

126
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: heard of, hub something who went on a Chicago radio

127
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: station and said that he would not vote for Aaron

128
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers because he was a bad person and selfish or whatever.

129
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: And I've said weeks ago that Aaron Rodgers the only

130
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: people he lied to was the media. He didn't lie

131
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: to his team, he didn't lie to his coaches, and

132
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: he didn't lie to the league. Everyone knew the information

133
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: the MEETIA didn't know, and I said it before the

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: meeting is very angry when they don't know. But a

135
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: little bit like Antonio Brown. One thing, I'm out of

136
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the business of getting worked up what journalists think. I

137
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: do not care what any journalists think, good or bad.

138
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: They do not dictate my mind anymore because we've seen

139
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: them over the last several years. They have lost their mind.

140
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: You follow any of them on social media, these people

141
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: are their extremists. So I do understand and listen. I

142
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: have the thought coming into his voting because he's clearly

143
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: the best player in the National Football League. There there's

144
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: it's not even close. If you don't vote for Aaron Rodgers,

145
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: you really haven't been watching football. Now. The one person

146
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: if you like, if you had a vote and you

147
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: were based in Cincinnati and you voted for Joe Burrow. Well,

148
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: I would disagree with the vote. I would understand the logic.

149
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: But the good part about this this Hub guy getting exposed.

150
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have been alone. I think

151
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: a lot of Big Jay's would have done something very

152
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: similar because of where they stand politically right and listen,

153
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: I I'm anti man Dates. I got the jab. Uh.

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: If I was Rogers, I would have just I said

155
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: it before coming into the season. I just would have

156
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: got it to make it easier. And that was back

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: when we thought it you know, protected you clearly you

158
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: can still get it. And he went on the you

159
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: know the rand the last couple of days, calling the

160
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: guy a bum. And I don't blame Rogers for saying that,

161
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: but I I do think that this guy got so

162
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: so heavily shamed on social media. Everyone was talking shit

163
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: about him, justifiably so that the other media members who

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: would have voted for someone else are now going to

165
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: be scared to do that. Now. Do I think they're

166
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: gonna be a couple of people that are still gonna

167
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: not vote for Aaron Rodgers. We've seen it with baseball

168
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: for years these people. The one thing I try to

169
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: do in this space that I'm in And I don't

170
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: even know what you consider this like to me, I'm

171
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: not a media member. I just I have entertainment products.

172
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: This is an entertainment product. You want to listen, great,

173
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully you tell your friends. If not, no worries. But

174
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: this is everything I'm telling you is agenda based. And

175
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of media for a long period

176
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: of time, tried to act like they were independent, no agenda,

177
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: no bias. It's a complete lie. We're we're all biased

178
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: on everything. But I think the key is that they've

179
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: always tried to like pretend they didn't have one. It's like, hey, guys,

180
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: we follow you guys on Twitter. I see all your opinions.

181
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: You can't even hide them. Like you're biased on everything

182
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: you do, so you're gonna be biased in the sports

183
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: because now politics the other thing that's weird with the

184
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Big Jay's and uh, most of them academically went to

185
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: really good schools. It's like politics defines their life. And

186
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: maybe it's the way I grew up, Like we laughed

187
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: at politicians left or right, like we were just we

188
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: didn't trust any of them. That's the way I was raised,

189
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: and that's most people I associate with. It's like politicians

190
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: aren't the most trustworthy people. Yet when I watched these

191
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: people in media who have lost their minds over the

192
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: last four or five years, it's like they are so

193
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: they're more loyal to their political party than they would

194
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: be to their family, and it's just kind of mind boggling.

195
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: I have nothing in common with them. I find them

196
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: actually kind of weird. I find them to be kind

197
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: of whack jobs. And it's why that I refuse to

198
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: get angry. Like when you say you see what this

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: newspaper writer wrote, newspaper writer, I mean as newspaper has

200
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: been relevant for fifteen years. I don't know anyone my

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: age who gets a newspaper thrown on the front of

202
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: their driveway. Now, my my seven year old mother, she

203
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: gets like seven newspapers on her driveway. She's still reading

204
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: those bad boys. Most people have transition to the Internet. Now.

205
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, the uh you know,

206
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: the Internet version, so I can read it on my iPad.

207
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: But for even for the most part, I find myself

208
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I was like, do I even need to do this?

209
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: Do I even read it enough and the answer is

210
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: probably no. But I just don't understand that they just

211
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: get so worked up over things they have no control over,

212
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: and I don't find that very relatable. I find most

213
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: people that are in uh sports media, especially the journalists

214
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: that I don't have much in common with, so I

215
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: refuse to get angry over their angry opinions because I

216
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: don't care what they think. Now, if ultimately this would

217
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: have led to him not being the m v P,

218
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: which we are, you know whatever a month, because we

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: usually find out the week of the super Bowl long

220
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: way away, then I would have got outrage and we

221
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: might have been heading that way. I don't think it's

222
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: h out of the realm of possibility to assume that

223
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: he might have split some votes with some other people,

224
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: because a lot of people that have a vote would

225
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: not have voted for him. I think that's a fair

226
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: assumption to make. But now, after watching Hub, who had

227
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: to come out with like an article apologizing, which is

228
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: always the dumbest thing to do. Now, maybe his employer.

229
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: I guess I've done that before on Twitter, like six

230
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: seven years ago, because I felt pressure from my employer.

231
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: But you know, it's usually you don't even believe what

232
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: you're apologizing for it Now maybe sometimes you do maybe

233
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: some times years Like I regret saying that, but when

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: you went, I mean, he went on a long you know,

235
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: diet tribe on the radio show, like where what he said,

236
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: like you believed it? You do not like him, And

237
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: part of it is the guy's a Bears fan. He

238
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: covers the Bears. That's the other thing, Like, Uh, I

239
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: think these guys struggle to just be open with their allegiances,

240
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: especially the older people in this space, because they've been

241
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: taught to not do that, but that's actually how they think.

242
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: So just be open and honest. Like that's all I

243
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: try to do on this show, is be very open

244
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: and honest. Like I don't like this player, Like I

245
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: don't like this guy, Like I'm not big into Cliff

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: Kingsberry's offense. Like I just tell you what I think,

247
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Like I have biased I have agendas towards specific things,

248
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: and I'm open with him. Uh, And it doesn't mean

249
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna be right. This is giving you my

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: opinions and my opinion on Aaron Rodgers. He's the best

251
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: player by a fucking mile this season in the NFL

252
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: and he was last year he's it's he's going on

253
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: one of the greatest two year runs we've ever seen

254
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback. If you have eyes and you cover the

255
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: sport and you can't see that, I can't help you now.

256
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Like you know, I do agree with I loved that

257
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Aaron called him a bum. The great part about getting

258
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: old is you get more secure and you you worry

259
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: less about what other people say about you. And Aaron's

260
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: just throwing jabs back. I I enjoyed that. Uh and

261
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: he you know, he was justified and his jab's back

262
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: at the guy. But it also shows you We've seen

263
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: it forever. In baseball Hall of Fame voting is like,

264
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't we It shouldn't be like politics, Like you you

265
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: get voted off panels, Like you don't just get a

266
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame vote for thirty years. Maybe you get

267
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: it for four years or eight years, but then you

268
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: lose it. Get some new blood. You know, Hey, Roger

269
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: holler and me. I'll vote. I'll take an independent vote.

270
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: I'll just vote for the best player. You know. It's

271
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: not that I do not care what your politics are.

272
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I also don't relate to that. I've never once thought

273
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: when I walked by a guy like I wonder what

274
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: they think politically, I wonder. No. I mean, for the

275
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: majority of my life up until the last couple of years,

276
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: we just interacted with other people. We all thought differently,

277
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: and no one cared. Uh. Now it's clear that I

278
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: don't know if we're ever going back to that, which

279
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: is kind of said R at the College Football champ

Speaker 1: just extended a mask Man date for the next UH.

308
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: I guess it was said to expire in ten days.

309
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I can't follow this stuff.

310
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: I think most of us normal people in the state

311
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: of California just live our lives and have been for

312
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: a while, but there were also a large contingent and

313
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: definitely the political side of it that are still we

314
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: we are the most extreme by far when it comes

315
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: to the COVID policies. It's not even close. It's like

316
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: if you go to San Francisco, l A and New

317
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: York and then you go to these other states and

318
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: I've been to Vegas, Arizona, it's like we're living in

319
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: two different worlds. We were all in America, yet they're

320
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: two different Americas. And Los Angeles, even more than the

321
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: Bay Area, has been by far the most extreme. Well,

322
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, the Super Bowl is like the

323
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: celebration of the season. It's also a cash count. It's

324
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: a big deal that entire week. I've been to two now.

325
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: I've been to the one when it came to San Francisco,

326
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: and then I went a couple of years to Miami.

327
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: It is just a week long celebration event, parties, every

328
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: media all over the world. It's a big deal. Well,

329
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: it would be very difficult to operate. I would imagine

330
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and Roger and some of the NFL

331
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: people said that they were gonna do, you know, like

332
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: a full I guess overlooked next year or I mean

333
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: next week after the last week of the regular season,

334
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: to see if it's still gonna work. Now, people in

335
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: l A have come out and said the super Bowl

336
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: is coming now. I wouldn't put them past the people

337
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: in California because there's no rhyme or reason to any

338
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: of this to say, listen, if you're here for the

339
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl, you can no mass, noa accine cards, do

340
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: whatever you want. If you live here, you gotta follow

341
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: the rules that is in play. So I would never

342
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: discount that. But I could imagine Jerry Jones already said

343
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: come here, there's no rules in Texas, you can do

344
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: whatever you want. I don't think it's out of the

345
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: realm possibility. This thing's moved, and I do wonder if

346
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: Roger comes here and his people come here and go

347
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: this is going to be very, very difficult because they

348
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: want unlike last year where you didn't really have a choice.

349
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: This year. I don't even remember the super Bowl festivities

350
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: last year, but they were definitely tampered back. I think

351
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to blow it out, you know, and

352
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to do that. In Los Angeles,

353
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: zero chance. It would be much closer to like a

354
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: two thousand, twenty Midsummer super Bowl than it would be

355
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: like it would be another States right now, full go,

356
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: no one cares. Let's rock and roll. So I would

357
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: imagine I know that l A is gonna push back.

358
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: It's come, and it's come, and it's coming. I got

359
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: it red flagged right now. I live here. I see

360
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: it every day. Like if I was if Roger called me,

361
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: I would say, move it. It is gonna be such

362
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: a pain in your ass and it's gonna limit so

363
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: many things that you guys are used to doing that

364
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have those limitations. If you put it in Glendale,

365
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: if you put it at Jerry's palace, if you put

366
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: it in Miami, do you you'll just be able to

367
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: operate as normal. And if you want to operate as normal,

368
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: you cannot do it here. And if you not even

369
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: just not operate as normal, they make it very very difficult.

370
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm going to the game this weekend.

371
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see, you know, the just what

372
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: l A is. Like I was in San Francisco actually

373
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: probably a month ago, and it was it was pretty normal.

374
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: Now I guess you know, for the policies around here

375
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: changed with this new variant. But I would I would

376
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: recommend that they moved the Super Bowl out of Los

377
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Angeles if they want to avoid just controversy after controversy

378
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: and painting the ass after painting the ass, because that

379
00:18:54,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: that's what it will be. Let's tive into some actual football. Uh,

380
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: pretty big games this weekend. Obviously, we have a massive,

381
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: massive game Sunday night, and I think I don't even

382
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: think it's disputable. All the pressure is on the Chargers.

383
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: How they are nine and seven To me, and I've

384
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: said this now for weeks, is is mind boggling. Is

385
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: seems borderline impossible. Their quarterback is in the universe right

386
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: now with Mahomes, Rogers, Stafford, and Brady. That's he has

387
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns. All those guys have thirty five or more.

388
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: All those teams cruising to the playoffs. Brady Division Champ,

389
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: staff Stafford if he wins this weekend Division Champ, Mahomes

390
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Division Champ, and obviously Rogers number one seed back to

391
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: back n VPS YEA. They have Herbert who's having an

392
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: unreal season thirty five touchdowns easily one of the best

393
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league get their nine and seven because

394
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: their defense has been atrocious. You look at the Raiders

395
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: coach fired. Uh, guy Goes is headed to prison, federal prison.

396
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: Another first round corner a cut for guns. They just

397
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: had a dude this week get a dewey in a

398
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: parking lot. Now it might not be a d y

399
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: because he was not driving, but that's Vegas law, different

400
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: in California law. But regardless, they had a guy get

401
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: arrested at four thirty in the morning. They have had

402
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: one and not Nate Hobbs. Not bad. They've had one

403
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: thing after another. Get their nine and seven two and

404
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: their quarterback has been throwing to Zay Jones and Hunter

405
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Renfrew like in their defense is full of like Max

406
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: Crosby and Yannick and Doc Way who are good players

407
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: but somehow have them as the same record. I think

408
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: if Brandon Staley loses this game, and I don't think

409
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: they will, the Chargers should win. They have just the

410
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: better team. They have way more talent. But it is

411
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: a road game. Uh, they don't have much fan many

412
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: fans to begin with. They did actually in San Diego.

413
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of them. It just feels like

414
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys have kind of tapped out.

415
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: Don't blame them. Dean Spanos will do that to you.

416
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: I think it Brandon Staley loses this game, you could

417
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: justify firing after one year. I really believe that because

418
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: this guy inherited a rocket ship and somehow he crashed it,

419
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: that they were I think that what were they form

420
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: one to start the season. They beat Kansas City, they

421
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders earlier in this season. I just I

422
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: don't trust the Charges at all. Now I don't necessarily

423
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: trust the Raiders either, But I don't know, man, I

424
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: think the pressure is all on Brandon Staley, all on

425
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: the Charges organization. You can't win this game. I'll never take.

426
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: And I love their quarterback. I won't be able to

427
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: take their organization now, Not that I do, I mean

428
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: I kind of do. They've had good teams over the

429
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: last twenty years. Marty Schottenheimer, some Mike McCoy's first couple

430
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: of years with the Rivers. Even Anthony Lynn made the

431
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: playoffs one year with Philip Rivers and won a playoff game.

432
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: Remember they beat the Ravens. But man, to me, that

433
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: they got to win this game, and then the other

434
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: big game is in Southern California, which I will be

435
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: in attendance. Pretty fired up, um, really fired up. And

436
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: I think this is a game where Kyle Kyle Shanahan

437
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: just basically has to whip it out and put it

438
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: all on the table and just take a swing for

439
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: the fences, trick plays, do everything humanly possible. I'm assuming

440
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: Tray Lance is gonna play as of recording this, but

441
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't see Trey Lance making his third career start

442
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: against Houston. He was really rusty that first half of

443
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: the first half of the game, which is understandable. He

444
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: hadn't played, you know, since whatever Week four or five

445
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: against Arizona. I do think the Rams are a different

446
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: animal in terms of their pass rush. There was no

447
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: pass rush last year. Last week. Now you've got guys

448
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: can get after the passer, you know, like Arizona, and

449
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: Arizona really threw him off. Now the guy is very,

450
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: very physically gifted, but he's very raw. I mean, he's

451
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. Now. You bet on

452
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: raw guys high character with the physical skills. Big picture,

453
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: if he works hard, dedicates himself, he's got players around him.

454
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: He can be a high level quarterback in this league.

455
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: But we've seen with all the other rookie it's very

456
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: very The NFL is hard. The NFL is hard if

457
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: you're like Trent Williams. The NFL is hard if you're

458
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: Aaron donn let alone, a rookie. I mean it is

459
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: who hasn't played all season. So it's it's a very

460
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: very difficult spot. If Kyle Shanahan can beat Sean McVeigh

461
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: for the sixth straight time with a rookie quarterback, it's

462
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: one of the best wins of his coaching career so far.

463
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: And obviously he had the one year, but then it

464
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: would be by far the best win of the season.

465
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: It would be an incredible accomplishment on the road. Now,

466
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: there are gonna be I'm sure a lot of forty

467
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Niner fans, they're a lot of red. But this is

468
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: going to be very, very difficult now. They the Niners

469
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: are gonna need just insane games from guys like Bossa,

470
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Kittle and Deebo, which are possible. I mean, these guys

471
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: are all pro Pro Bowl level guys. Uh. The other game,

472
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: the Saints versus the Falcons, Uh, you know, if the

473
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: Saints win this game and go nine and eight, regardless

474
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: of they get in the playoffs or not. Right, if

475
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: if the Niners win, they can't control anything. But if

476
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: they're able to go nine and eight with Jamis, with Simeon,

477
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: with uh, with Taysom Hill, that's Sean Payton is big time.

478
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people. He's a polarizing guy.

479
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: And he goes back to kill the head. The body

480
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: will die when he gets suspended. But I'm you know,

481
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: knowing enough people in the NFL, he is very very

482
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: highly thought of and for them just to be in

483
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: the mix with that quarterback situation, Like I talked about

484
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles earlier this week, they have two starting quarterbacks

485
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: to Jalen Hurts, who you know, we can nitpick them

486
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: all we want, Like, he's not bad, right, he's got

487
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: some flaws and Gardner Minchew. Two guys who can start

488
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: a quarterback. These guys don't have one. Like I'm sorry,

489
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: Sean Taysom Hill is not a quarterback. He's a position player,

490
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: but he can play quarterback and somehow they can win

491
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: some games. Now do the Falcons have They're not. They're

492
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: gonna try to win this game right, I mean Arthur

493
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: Smith is gonna try to go into the off season

494
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: with a win and divisional opponents, things can get weird.

495
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: Though I do expect the Saints to win. I don't

496
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: think it's out of the realm of possibility. That's why

497
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be interesting to see, Like what if

498
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: the Saints are down and the Niners are down, it's

499
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Sunday is gonna be a fascinating day because really, just

500
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: these three games, I mean they're the Bills and the Patriots,

501
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: whoever went this. You're all playing for seatings. But all

502
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: these teams are in the playoffs. Tampa, you know if

503
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: they if they they're gonna win, they play the Panthers,

504
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: but plan for seating. The Rams playing for seating right.

505
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: All the a f C teams, the Chiefs, the Titans

506
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: are playing for the one seed, which is a big deal.

507
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: But these teams all know they're in the playoffs. There

508
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: is a major difference when you know, if we do

509
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: not win, we are not going dancing. Our season is over.

510
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: The players the next day clean out their locker and

511
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: the coaches start talking about the Senior Bowl and the Combine.

512
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: So it's it's a big difference between getting ready for

513
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: your next opponent, like getting ready for Tom Brady or

514
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: getting ready for the Senior Bowl. I know if I

515
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: was a coach or a player, the players don't care

516
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: about the Senior Bowl. I want to get ready for

517
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs and the scouting community scouts get bonuses for playoffs,

518
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: so they are they're rooting all all the all the

519
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: scouts on these teams are rooting for their teams to win.

520
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: And then last but not least, Black Monday is right

521
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: around the corner. And uh, you know, it's it's hard

522
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: because I try to balance losing your job and I've

523
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: I've had that happen to me. Sucks, but I've lost

524
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: my job when I didn't make much money when I

525
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: was scouting in you know, didn't get renewed, fired however

526
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: you want to put it. When Chip came in, I

527
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: was making fifty grand, maybe a little more when you

528
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: factor in the stipend for like your car, but I

529
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't have another like a contract. The next

530
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: year the money ran out. Now I was young, no family,

531
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: It didn't really matter, right. But these coaches, when they

532
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: get fired, they all got years remaining and they've all

533
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: just been making seven six five what they're multimillionaires, so

534
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: they don't relate to of society. Well, they do lose

535
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: their job. And any human being that has like, it's

536
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: a shitty moment of your professional career, for any amber

537
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: vicious person, for any achiever, for any person just has

538
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: any pride. You don't want to get fired. You don't

539
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: want to fail. No, no one wants to fail, even

540
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: though you learn a lot from failing, you know, while

541
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of failing, it sucks. But like

542
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: when I look at the head coaches, like Vic Fangio,

543
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: Vic Fiangio's gonna get fired. He's Vic fangiol Is making

544
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: like three million dollars to be a defensive coordinator before

545
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: he got this job. Now the one shitty part for him,

546
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: he worked his entire career, he got his one shot,

547
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: never had a quarterback. He's never gonna be a head

548
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: coach again. But like Matt Naggie, who's Mike. I haven't

549
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: talked to him really all season. He's probably gonna get fired, right,

550
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: is gonna get fired. Matt Maggie is so young. He

551
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: can go back with coach, read go to another team.

552
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: He can resurrect his stock. He'll be a head coach

553
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: again one day, Like mark my words, he will have

554
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: a chance to be a head coach again in the NFL.

555
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: We everyone thought Todd Bowls. He's done Top Bowls, Gonna

556
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: start interviewing for jobs. That's the way it works. There's

557
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: a cycle. Things happen, right, Uh, Mike Zimmer falls under

558
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: the Fangio thing. But like Fangio, these guys, Mike Zimmer

559
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: is so rich before he ever got the job. Mike

560
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: Zimmer was like the highest paid coordinator in the league.

561
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Now Mike Zimmer will never ever be a head coach again. Ever,

562
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: it's it's over for him and Fangio. It's done. But

563
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: it's also time. Like unlike Fangio, where I think he

564
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: could argue, like, just give me one year with the quarterback,

565
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: even though they won't. Mike Zimmer, like, you've had several quarterbacks,

566
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: You've had great defense, you had good you had a

567
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: successful career, You made the playoffs a lot, you had

568
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: some solid teams, you made an NFC championship game like

569
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: you were by no means a failure. But it's over.

570
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna go back to being a number two in

571
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. And then there are guys like, to me,

572
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: there's some curveballs, right, like Pete Carroll in Seattle. What's

573
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen there? Now? I don't Pete Carroll's not gonna

574
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: get fired on Black Monday, But is this gonna be

575
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: a story that comes out on Sunday morning? Like keep

576
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: an eye, keep an eye on Seattle. Someone dm me,

577
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see this, but said, did you see that

578
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: Joe Judge dropped an F bomb in his press conference?

579
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: And I thought, this is a couple of weeks ago

580
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: when Joe Judge kind of went on his rants about

581
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: how former players were texting in like I want to

582
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: come back how his future free agents on the Giants.

583
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: When you're desperate in life, you do desperate things and

584
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: you say things that you probably maybe one day will regret,

585
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: it might not make sense of the time. And I

586
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: see a guy that's desperate who is starting to think

587
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: like he's not doing this to try to get the

588
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: fans behind him. I think he thinks he might get fired.

589
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: So every day that he gets in front of the

590
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: media one he's just kind of on egg shows right

591
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: now because he thinks he could come to an end. Now,

592
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: like Matt Nagie, he's like forty years old. He'd go

593
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: back to Belichick. He'd be another head coach again. Right

594
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: if you just argue, well, Gettleman screwed him. But I

595
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: think there's a fifty fifty shot now again, he might

596
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: not get fired on Black Monday because part of their

597
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: deal might be the hire of the general manager and

598
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: let them decide, which I think they've conveniently leaked the

599
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks that, like, you know, because at

600
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: first they said he's safe, that we view Joe Judge

601
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: as the next Parcels or Belichick, and then everyone in

602
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: New York furious, and now they're like, well, we're gonna

603
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: let the next GM decide. Well, if you're Joe Judge,

604
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: you just look around like a lot of next gms

605
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: get rid of that guy. Now, sometimes you get that

606
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: courtesy year. Fangio got it. Um. I'm trying to think

607
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely happened before. Fangio is the most recent

608
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: one where you just get the courtesy year. But I

609
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: don't think Fangio had accomplished a lot. I mean, Fangio's

610
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: one Fango's is the just his resume speaks for itself,

611
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: and he's older, so it was easier for George Patton

612
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: to go. You know, I'll just keep him for a year.

613
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. And I've read they really like

614
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: each other. Well, if I'm the new GM and I

615
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: don't come from New England, Like why am I trusting

616
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Joe Judge? Like what's his resume being an assistant for Belichick?

617
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Like how's that one worked out? Not great unless your

618
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: name is Brian Flores. So I I think just big picture.

619
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: When I say a big picture, like in the short

620
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: term his job status? Why one problem? Again, I guess

621
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: it could happen Monday. They could just blow everyone out.

622
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: But I think, keep an eye on Joe Judge and

623
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: then uh, I got a wild card for you. There

624
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: was a story recently in The Athletic who actually just

625
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: sold for five million dollars, which you see some of

626
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: the prices companies have sold for in the technology space

627
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: over the last decade. Million dollars is not very much,

628
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: now I I was looking. I worked at the Athletic

629
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, just doing a little freelance.

630
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Writing is hard. Writing is very difficult. I know a

631
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of writers. I do. While I don't have much

632
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: in common with some of their mindsets, I do respect

633
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: the profession and understand it's it's difficult to write. Being

634
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: a talented writer is hard. I do think the long

635
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: term viability of just writing in general is not much

636
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: unless you're super niche Wall Street Journal, the New York

637
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: Times has such an embedded brand. I I just as

638
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: as someone who is his late thirties. I have never

639
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: read less sports content in my life. I just don't

640
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: think there's money behind it. When I saw the number

641
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars, my first response was, God, that's

642
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: not a lot of money. I mean, that's that shows

643
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: you that, like, there's not much money in sports writing.

644
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: So anyone listening to this aspiring sports journalists, I would

645
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 1: try to be balanced, trying to be able to do

646
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: some YouTube stuff, be able to do podcasts, stuff like that.

647
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: That's where the money is, because that's how people like

648
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: under fifty consume content through audio and visual. We just

649
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: don't read as much. And I'm not like there is

650
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: I still love it's a good book, but I listened

651
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: to him all like I I listened to my books now.

652
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: So I just wonder like a pretty big red flag

653
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: to me. But Matt Rule. There was an article in

654
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: The Athletic that said that, uh, that basically David Tepper,

655
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, the rich hedge fund guy. I don't know

656
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: if he I don't want to screw up the exact

657
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't know verbade him off my head, but it

658
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: was like, you know, has second thoughts, regrets, gave him

659
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars, sixty two million dollars. I think

660
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: he'd like a do over on that one. Now, part

661
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: of it is would Belichick have one with the Panthers

662
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: with their quarterback situation? And I think the pushback would

663
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: be Belichick wouldn't have traded for Sam Donald and listen,

664
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: I was wrong on that. I like the Sam Donald trade,

665
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: but it was a disaster Sam Donald. I when I

666
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: watched him, I view like, this guy's a backup, this

667
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: guy's this guy is not starting anymore in the NFL.

668
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Like Mmy Garoppolo, polarizing guy. Sam Donald can't hold Jimmy

669
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Garoppolo's jock as a football player. So you just you

670
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: make decisions on quarterbacks and you get the wrong one,

671
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: it could cripple you, you know, for a couple of years,

672
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: especially they immediately pick up the fifth year option. That's devastating.

673
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: He's screwed. So how are they gonna get any better

674
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: next year? I don't see it. Now. Maybe they could

675
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: trade for I guess to Shaun Watson, but isn't Miami

676
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna do that? You know, Russell Wilson played that. You know,

677
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: is NC State so kind of the region. I've never

678
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: been to the Carolinas. But do I want to go

679
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: play golf Myrtle Beach? So I'm sure people DM me

680
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: how far NC State and you know, Charlotte are away

681
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: from each other. But my point is, like one thing

682
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has been hammering home, at least his agent

683
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: as through Russell Wilson is like big market, big market,

684
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: big market to me, Charlotte while it's an up and

685
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: coming actually a pretty good booming real estate market. I

686
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: I can't see that one. So I don't know how

687
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Matt Rulin proves. Could David Tepper that has just a

688
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: stupid amount of money just pay him to go away

689
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: and just hope that you know, some college Like what

690
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: if Jim Harbad jumps to uh jumps to the Raiders,

691
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't Michigan. Just hire Matt Rule, and then maybe you

692
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: just you don't feel like this, and then it's a

693
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: smooth transition and then you get to hire an NFL guy.

694
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: I keep an eye on Matt Rule because it's too

695
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: ugly and this owner paid too much. He paid two

696
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: billion cash cash. You know, can you imagine doing that? Like, listen,

697
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: it's all it's easy for all of us to be

698
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: just gotta be patient. Just see it through. What ain't

699
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: your money? Imagine when you spend whatever relative is to

700
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: you a lot of money. Let's see you buy a car.

701
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: Let's say you pay cash for a car. Let's see

702
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: by car. What if like two weeks in or six

703
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: months in a year and you're like, this car sucks,

704
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: pisses you off because you know you've invested so much money.

705
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: Now it's not smart to pay cash for cars, but

706
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: some people do it right, and you know you're kind

707
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: of stuck with it, especially you know what lose value. Like,

708
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: let's face it, that Rule has lost a lot of

709
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: value in two years now. Maybe it just turns out

710
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: he's a college coach. And why I say college coach,

711
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Like his greatest attribute is really motivating young guys getting

712
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: them too over at of like, you know, for the

713
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: most part, you don't. You can say, like Tomlin and Horridball, like,

714
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: do they get their guys to overachieve or do they

715
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: just do a good job of drafting good players and

716
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: those guys are good coaches? Right? Is is Tomlin like

717
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: getting guys to overachieve or does he just have sweet

718
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: players and he's a good coach? Like is t J

719
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: Watt overachieving or is he just sweet? Like Matt Rule

720
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: gets guys at Temple and Baylor to overachieve. And you

721
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: can even look back at Baylor and go, well, Baylor

722
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: one before he got there, and since him, David Randa

723
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: is winning two. Didn't David ran just win a ball

724
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: game when like went twelve and two or thirteen and

725
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: two on the season. Maybe Baylor is just a really

726
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: good program now and maybe Matt Rule. You know, but

727
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: if you said Matt Rule goes to Michigan, I'd expect

728
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: him to win. Okay, let's do a little middle Coff

729
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: mail bag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram slide up

730
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: into those d m s. Give your question answer here

731
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: on the show and uh easy peas a lot of

732
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: you guys have reached out about the golf podcast. Glad

733
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. It's gonna keep on coming. PGA Golf

734
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: here and I love it. So let's start with a

735
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: golf question. Love the golf pod. What are your thoughts

736
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: on iron covers? Protect your tools or sign of a

737
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: weaker man? You cannot have iron covers zero, he just

738
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: it's not allowed. So any iron cover equals red flag

739
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: as a human being. Now, old lady, I think my grandma,

740
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: when I was really really young, pretty bad golfer if

741
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, she passed away probably late. I'm pretty

742
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: sure she had iron covers. So if you want to

743
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: be like a grandma, uh, go with iron courvers. If

744
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: you want to be a normal human being, then no

745
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: iron covers. Okay, let's go up. Question. As a Colts fan,

746
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: should we be embarrassed for not punching our ticket against

747
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders last weekend? Assuming we will against the Jags?

748
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: But we haven't managed to find ways to lose so

749
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: many games this year? Selfishly used to play at Yale

750
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: and my old teammate is quietly leading the NFL and

751
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 1: tackles this year. Pro Bowl snub though, which stats should

752
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: be the best indicators to who should get official recognition.

753
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: UM play that Yale god, high level guy. We got

754
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: high level listeners here. I love it when we get

755
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: a good IVY leaguer. Love Kyle Use check another IVY

756
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: league football guy. That's uh. I don't know, you know.

757
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: I I think that you should pull general managers and coaches,

758
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: and maybe they do do that now, but I think

759
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: the coaches and gms and the players zero fan vote

760
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: should pick the players. But I honestly, I haven't really

761
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: thought much about it. That's a good question. I would

762
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: say the Colts blew it. I mean, you cannot at

763
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: home lose to Hunter Renfro. I mean, just Hunter Renfro

764
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: beat them. Hunter Renfro, Kenny Moore. If you watch Hard Knocks,

765
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore's a stud. I love the guy Hunter Renfro,

766
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: took him to school, they put they put him on

767
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro. Like Hunter Renfro is the best wide receiver

768
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: because he is, and like it's just a bad loss.

769
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: To me, that's a devastating loss to lose to the

770
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: Raiders at home with no Waller. Jacobs kept coming out

771
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: of the game because he was being injured. I think

772
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: they ran for like fifty yards. I mentioned Bezos' girlfriend

773
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: and a bunch of people of d M me and

774
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: I got this d M here from Brian that said,

775
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Lauren Sanchez, this Bezos girlfriend was Tony Gonzalez's ex girlfriend

776
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: because there were some videos. Maybe she posts them on

777
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: her I G story of Tony partying like over New

778
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: Year's with Jeff Bezos. I'm like, God, Tony Gonzalez. I

779
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: know he's a cow guy, you know, Huntington Beach, Southern California.

780
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: Good look at who wouldn't want to be friends with

781
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez. I just thought Bezos super jack. Now maybe

782
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: he just wants to be friends with Tony g turns out,

783
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, they are just and I don't blame Tony.

784
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Clearly they must have had a pretty decent breakup. Maybe

785
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: it's just as simple as like, I just want to

786
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: be friends with Bezos. Also Patrick with Right Cell chairman Endeavor. Yeah,

787
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: so she's you know, she's not dating the local plumber,

788
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Lauren Laurence, good looking old lady, love

789
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: the pod. Love hearing some F bombs when talking about football,

790
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: because it's football. I agree there should be f bombs

791
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins clearly have a solid coach in Flora's legit defense

792
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: and an established culture. Why is it so hard for

793
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: them to find a running game or an offensive coordinator

794
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: to score points? Well, they don't have very good running backs,

795
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: would be my first uh statement. My second statement would

796
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: be whether their head coach is a defensive guy who

797
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: has been a defensive assistant coach who ben became a

798
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who now became the head coach. So his

799
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: expertise is not offense. So the only people he's gonna know,

800
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: and he's spent the majority of his career, if I'm

801
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure, if I bring up Brian Flores his Wikipedia,

802
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: his entire NFL career was with the Paths, So the

803
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: only people he would know to help out his offense

804
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: would be Patriot guys. So he got hired from Boston College,

805
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: He got hired by the Patriots and oh eight and

806
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: was on their staff until he got the job. So

807
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: his kind of you know, nucleus of people he'd have

808
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: to hire would be people eating new And you know,

809
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you work on three or four staffs,

810
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: you get to meet different guys. You know, think about

811
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan Brian and uh and Sean McVeigh and Lafleur,

812
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: like before those guys who became head coaches. McVeigh worked

813
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: on Tampa staff with John Gruden. Then he went with

814
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: the Shanahans to Washington, and then he stayed with John Gruten.

815
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: So think about all the coaches he got to meet.

816
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan started with Houston, then went to the Browns,

817
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: then it was with the Falcons. Like he you just

818
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: in the in the in the football team, like you

819
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: just got to meet a lot of different coaches. You

820
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: just get to expand la Fleur right with with those

821
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: guys in Washington, goes with Kyle do Atlanta gets his,

822
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: goes with mcveido the Rams, then goes to Tennessee for

823
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: a year of Rabel. Even though they're in their early

824
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: mid the late thirties, you know by the time they're

825
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: thirty thirty seven, thirty eight, especially in the Florida Kyle,

826
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: they knew tons of different coaches. I think that's very healthy.

827
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: Now it's not unhealthy to work for the Patriots, Like

828
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: that's a good thing, But I think that limits his

829
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: ability to like he's just been around Bill O'Brien and

830
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: Josh like he can't hire Josh Bill O'Brien is not

831
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: going to work for him. So I think that's just

832
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: that would be my take on that. How does one

833
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: come up in the coaching ranks? I currently work youth

834
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: football and I'm only nineteen years old, but I see

835
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: all these young head coaches and I can't uh and

836
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: I desire to be like them. I also don't go

837
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: to college and just started working out of high school.

838
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: Do I have a shot and what would my plan be?

839
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go go to junior college. You

840
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: gotta get to college, because the only way to break

841
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: in for the most part is through college football unless

842
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: you know some one in the NFL. And to get

843
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: to college football you usually have to have a college degree.

844
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: You cannot coach. I'm pretty sure you cannot be a

845
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: Division one coach out of college degree. So I would

846
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: recommend if you didn't have the grades to get into

847
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: a four year school, to go to junior college. And

848
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: when you're going to junior college, you can coach high

849
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: school football on the side. But you got my my

850
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: number one recommendation, and listen, I'm not the biggest like academia,

851
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, backer here. But the only reason I made

852
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 1: it to the NFL. Let me repeat, The only reason

853
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: I got to the NFL was because I was a

854
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: graduate assistant. And the only reason I could become a

855
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: graduate assistant was because I had an undergraduate degree. And

856
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: really I had my grades had I got. I kind

857
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: of had a couple of teachers that kind of bumped

858
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: them up my senior year at cal PAULYI, but I

859
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: had to have above a three point oh g p

860
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: A to even get into the graduate program, and this

861
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: was just a freshmen state. So I would recommend you

862
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: just you gotta get an undergraduate degree if you want

863
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: to be a coach. Now, if you want to be

864
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, you want to be Steve Jobs, you do

865
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: not need to go to college. Elon Musk, you do

866
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: not need a college degree. You can run a company

867
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: without a college degree. Now more than ever you could argue.

868
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: I saw someone wrote, like, you know, in some of

869
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: these different districts, how they're not even giving grades, Like

870
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: is there gonna be a high school diplomas? Last college degree?

871
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: Is that even gonna matter in like twenty years? What

872
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: it was the value of that thing gonna be? But

873
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: if you want to coach, you gotta get a college degree.

874
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: That that would be my number one recommendation. I know

875
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: you aren't. Future is better, but can you explain why

876
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: Dak is still the favorite to win Comeback Player of

877
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: the Year over Joe Burrow. Joe's better numbers, plays in

878
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: a tougher division and currently is better MVP odds. Is

879
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Dac only favored because he's a cowboy and the odds

880
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: on favorite entering the season. It's a good question. I

881
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: don't follow that type stuff the future bets closely enough.

882
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: I would say a huge part of it is we

883
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: all witnessed him shatter his ankle and him coming back

884
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: like his ankle was shattered. Now, I think the borough

885
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: people would say, well he got his nie snapped, and

886
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: they're right, but I think you get the cowboy bump.

887
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, his ankle was shattered. He cried off the cart,

888
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: even though Joe Burrow like he didn't shatter his ankle,

889
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: but his you can't see the ligaments rip, but I'm

890
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: sure it hurt too, you know. I uh, I think

891
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: it's just the cowboys. I think we don't need to

892
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: overthink that one is the cowboys. How about up Cowboys

893
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: wanted to get your take on Abe answer. There's a

894
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: golf question. Dude went to Oklahoma. I think he's one

895
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: of the only Mexican guys on the PGA Tour. There's

896
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: like two or three of them. I love Abe answer.

897
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: I remember being at the US Open at Pebble Beach.

898
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: I watched him play a hole. I didn't know who

899
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: he was. That was two thousand eighteen. I've been following

900
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: his career pretty closely since. Remember Tiger, there's that meme

901
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: or the Jeff that they you know, Tiger walked like

902
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: turned around to shake his hand before the putt went in,

903
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes you know, the internet which is undefeated, did

904
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: like this thing of Tiger turning around right when he

905
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: hits the putt and still has to go like ten

906
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: ft but eight because basically Abe said like I want

907
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: Tiger and then Tiger and he's like, you got me

908
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: and then kicked the ship out of him. Um, this

909
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: was the President's Cup probably three years ago, two years ago.

910
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: Oh my dates run together. But I'm I'm an a

911
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: Banswer fan. I bet on him sometimes to get top tens.

912
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: I'd expect to have him have a good career. Can

913
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: we talk about exciting Pits has been this year. I

914
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: feel like we have nothing really about him since the draft.

915
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: If Atlanta were to get an exciting and quarterback, an

916
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: offensive grewer at play caller, well, they have an offensive

917
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: grewup play caller paired with a rising defense, that team

918
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: could be dangerous. Aside, he's the first tight end since

919
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one across the thousand yard mark in their

920
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: rookie seasons. Dica, Yeah, I mean there was a reason

921
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: people around the NFL thought he was a Hall of

922
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: Fame talent, like when they talked about Kyle Pitt's coming

923
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: out and they said, this guy can be in the

924
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And if you watch him, he's just

925
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: he's enormous. He's like Calvin Johnson that at tight end,

926
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: but he doesn't really block. Maybe he does, I'd be honest.

927
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: I haven't watched the Falcons play much, but I think

928
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: he's he's closer to like the hybrid wide receiver than

929
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: he is George Kittle the line of scrimmage. Uh yeah,

930
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. But they do have an

931
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 1: offensive guru. I mean, Arthur Smith was the Titans offensive

932
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: coordinator and then right so they need a quarterback where

933
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: they gonna give the quarterback. Matt Ryan's gonna be their

934
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: quarterback next year. I will be stunned if Matt Ryan,

935
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, is not the starting quarterback Week one

936
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Falcons. That would be of my expectation. Hell,

937
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: maybe two years unless they can find a quarterback. And

938
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: the problem is, like they're gonna be decent enough with

939
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and some of these guys. They're not gonna

940
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: win two or three games, like they're gonna win seven

941
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: to nine range. So when you do that, what do

942
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 1: you do? Kind of stuck because coaches aren't trying to lose.

943
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Enjoy the weekend of football. Uh, enjoy

944
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: the just a weekend in general. It's the weekend. How

945
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: do you beat the weekend? And uh, thanks for listening.

946
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Game the volume
