But 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: I want you to know I try high effort here, 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: try to overachieve, but I can't do a seven hour 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: mail bag.

Let's dive into the mailbag. Okay, 56 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: didn't realize how much of content of yours that I followed. 57 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: I enjoy your fair takes. Not everyone can say that, 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: but I appreciate you. My question is about da Ball. 59 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I agree the Giant should give him another year, especially 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: since he isn't a great there's not a great candidate 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: for head coaching this cycle. My question is do you 62 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: think a coach like him, who is volatile and is 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: in high pressure situations, charging into the medical tent, overly 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: aggressive sideline actions and interactions is something that can be 65 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: changed Chargers Harbaugh is animated, but seems he is far 66 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: more controlled. Meanwhile, day Ball looks unhinged and may not 67 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: be a good leader for this team. Jim Harbaugh is 68 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: also over sixty. I remember him early on in his 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers career. He was as volatile, if not 70 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: more volatile than Brian Daball. He would like get in 71 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: TIFFs with other coaches constantly. He was insane, which was awesome. 72 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. When you're insane and you're energetic 73 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: and you're winning, everyone loves you. Right. Those gifts over 74 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: the years of like Kirby Smart and Nick Saban and 75 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: Will must Champ kicking everyone's ass are really fun. Well 76 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: they're winning national championships. When you start doing that and losing, 77 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: it's not as fun. So your personality is your personality, right? 78 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: My personality your personality. We're all wired a little bit differently. Obviously, 79 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: Brian Day Ball is just an on tilt edgy individual. Now, 80 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: I think with age, you definitely chill out. I actually 81 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: stumbled upon I was trying to fall asleep after the 82 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: podcast on Monday night, and I'm laying there. It's like 83 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: eleven forty five. She's asleep, so I don't want to 84 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: turn on the TV. So I grab my iPad. I know, 85 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: the blue light close to your eye is not good, 86 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: but it's like I need something. I cancer on a 87 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: light to read a book. Not that I would, but 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: if I wanted to do, I couldn't anyway. So I 89 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: started going to YouTube and I grab my iPad, put 90 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: in your phone, and I watched this clip on sixty 91 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: minutes Bill Parcells. Somehow the algorithm knows me well from 92 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: like two thousand and four, he had just been hired 93 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: by the Dallas Cowboys, maybe was after his first year, 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: and even people were saying like he had chilled out 95 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: a lot, and he was like sixty two at the time. Like, 96 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: as you age, it's hard to have the same energy 97 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: and ferocity that like Nick Saban at seventy years old, 98 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: while relative to the rest of human beings is pretty intense, 99 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: nowhere near as intense as he probably was at fifty 100 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: five years old. It's just it's a natural cycle of 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: being a human. So yeah, I mean, I think that 102 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: the Brian Dabole you're seeing now is the guy you're 103 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: getting if you keep him another year and if it 104 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: goes well for the foreseeable future. I know the season 105 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: is not over yet, but what college quarterback this season 106 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: has impressed you the most and do you think could 107 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: end up being the number one overall pick? You know, 108 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've seen a guy that I 109 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: would feel comfortable drafting number one overall. And I think 110 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: think we got to be very very careful about this 111 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: because if you could do it over right, the Titans 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: would take Actually, if the Titans could do it over 113 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: what they would do is they take Abdull Carter number one, 114 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and then they would trade into the first round to 115 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: get Jackson Dark because you could have had Abduall Carter 116 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: and Jackson Dart. Instead they have cam Ward who Again 117 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: I'm not jumping off the ship on that, but we 118 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: got to call a spade a spade. It hasn't gone well. 119 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: So like I think we got to this kind of 120 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: situation where the top quarterback had to go really high, 121 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: and it's like, this guy's not going to be good 122 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: enough to ever live up. Mac Jones is resurrecting his career. 123 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: He's mac Jones isn't a first round player in any draft, 124 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: let alone this quarterback inflation draft. So I think you've 125 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: got to be very careful. Like Ty Simpson is really good. 126 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: He's on a stacked team with an elite coaching staff. Right, 127 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: I've seen other guys Tua mac Jones have a lot 128 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: of success in that program. So like, I couldn't draft 129 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Ty Simpson number one overall. I got a watch Fernando 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: Mendoza a little bit closely or closer. But I had 131 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: a buddy who works in the NFL high up, you know, 132 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: like number two executive, was at one of his games 133 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: and was really impressed with him. I think it was 134 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: the Organ game, and he's like, listen after he threw 135 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: that pick six and then for him to bounce back 136 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: and lead them on a on a TD drive, like 137 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 1: it was really impressive. Physically, he's got all the skills. 138 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: I said, number one overall pick. He said, no, I 139 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: couldn't go that eye. And then there's the argument of like, well, 140 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: if you think the guy's a starter. Who cares draft 141 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: him at number four, draft him at number thirty. It's 142 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: all the same. If you think he's going to be 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: the starter. I'm like, yeah, there's a little more pressure 144 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: when you take a guy really high. So like, I 145 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: haven't watched South Carolina so shitty. I haven't been dialed 146 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: in on sellers who clearly it's not going that well 147 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: there nuss Meyer, who have watched a decent amount. I 148 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: don't know if he's banged up, but he looks not good. 149 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: You know, Pavia is an unreal college player. I don't 150 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: know if he's an NFL prospect. Dante Moore Obviously, the 151 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: Penn State game was awesome, and then the Indiana game 152 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: was kind of a come back to Earth moment. Again. 153 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to come out my overall take. And 154 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I haven't studied every single guy and watched every single snap. 155 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't see many guys that I would feel comfortable 156 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: drafting in the top ten right now. That doesn't mean 157 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: like Jackson Dart, I wouldn't drafted Jackson Dart in the 158 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: top ten either, And look at him, he looks like 159 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: a very promising like you can find good players in 160 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: the twenties in the second round, So I think we 161 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: need to get back to that draft other players and 162 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: take quarterbacks in the second, third, and fourth round. Russell Wilson, 163 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, brock Perdy like you can find 164 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: solid quarterbacks that are almost undervalued, and I think sometimes 165 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: you overvalue, so it's like buying an overpriced stock. It's 166 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: usually when you get your you know you're asked handed 167 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: to you, and I think that's happening a lot with 168 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. I heard you mentioned a couple of times 169 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: with a little disdain in your voice, that Kevin Stefanski 170 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: and Brown's GM get passes by the media just for 171 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: being ivy league alumps. Does this mean you are an 172 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: anti an anti intellectual or is there another reason you 173 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: distrust them? By the way, as a Charger fan, I 174 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: love your take on Brandon Staley. You know you're either 175 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: looking at if you're watching this on YouTube or listening 176 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: on the audio. I have multiple degrees. I have an 177 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: undergraduate degree, I have a graduate degree. My overall take 178 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: is my degrees are from state schools. No one cares 179 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: if I was a Syracuse guy or a Northwestern guy 180 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: or one of these prominent, you know, media schools, I 181 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: would probably be discussed differently with the cool kids in 182 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: the media, not that I even want to rub elbows 183 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: with these people. Ultimately, my point is the media values 184 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: their education really, really highly. If AI does what a 185 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: lot of people think it's going to do, it is 186 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: going to have a dramatic impact, and to me, negate 187 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: a lot of things in academia, especially higher education, right 188 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: because like why do I need you? And I'm telling 189 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: you right now I can foresee the future on this one. 190 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: The media is not going to go quietly on that 191 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: because that's gonna almost, i would say, negatively impact something 192 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: that's really important to them. And I just see a 193 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: lot of these people in traditional media that really value 194 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: their degree from their school, which I'm jealous of. Like 195 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: I went to cal Poly, I would have a lot 196 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: of pride if I was like a Florida alum or 197 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Ohio State of alum or texaslum. You know, with my 198 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: athletic programs, I don't have that, so I guess there's 199 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: a jealousy to that aspect for me. But when it 200 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: comes to the Ivy League, like they're just viewed as 201 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: really smart guys and I think the media gives passes 202 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: to people, especially in football, when it goes, well he's 203 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: a smart guy, it's like, yeah, well he's losing. It's like, 204 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: well he's really really smart. He must know something that 205 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: we don't because they value education really highly. Right. It 206 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: happened with Sam Hinkey for years. It's like the process, 207 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: the process fucking blows. The best thing they got out 208 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: of it was this seven foot guy who's always injured 209 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: and now always complains it's like it did not work. 210 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: We have to acknowledge that, you know. And I I 211 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: think Sam Hinky is a great example. He's like, well 212 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: he's so smart, he's got it. Maybe he doesn't. And 213 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: I see it in football all the time, like when 214 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: they think you're just a dumb football guy and you 215 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: start losing, they destroy you. But Andrew Berry, who again 216 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I have nothing personal against. I'm sure he's a nice guy. 217 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: I know people that have worked with him that like him. 218 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that know Stefanski, really 219 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: liked the guy. I think Stefanski's done a good job, 220 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: good job given the circumstances. My whole point with their 221 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: situation is they were one hundred percent treated differently than 222 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Trent Balke would be in their shoes, because I've seen 223 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: Trent Balke lose. Everyone takes a giant dump all over 224 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: his entire career. He's like, oh, Andrew Berry's having a 225 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: pretty good draft, was team blows. He took two quarterbacks. Now, 226 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: if you want to tell me, all of this was 227 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: out of his hands, right, But he keeps saying like, well, no, 228 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: we did that. And then the Flacco thing, like by 229 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: Tomlin just told you he doesn't even feel like they 230 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: respect the business. That's what bothers me and where I 231 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: get on board with Tomlin the Flacco move, the amount 232 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: of little respect you have for it. You have two 233 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks. Are either of these guys good? I don't know, 234 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: But like Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders, just being in 235 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: a room with Joe Flacco would benefit them. I don't know. 236 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: Flacco's just played in the league for two decades, has 237 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: been around countless Hall of famers, has been a Super 238 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: Bowl champion, has been a guy that's been benched, has 239 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: been a guy that's literally seen it all. Has been 240 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: a young player where a lot of people thought was overrated, 241 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: has been a good player, that people thought was underrated. 242 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: There's nothing that he doesn't check off that could really 243 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: benefit every day Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders being around, 244 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: and good organizations would have valued that well. To me, 245 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: the Browns and their GM value things, which I'm pro 246 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: stock market I like, I enjoy making financial bets on 247 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: things and viewing them unemotionally. But I'm talking about companies, 248 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: not actual individuals on a football team, and that's how 249 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: I feel he approaches it. And it was just embarrassing. 250 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: And they do a lot of embarrassing things. And I've 251 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: given them a pass for the Deshaun Watson thing because 252 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: it's like pretty clearly on the owner, even though they 253 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: they're outspoken of like we did it, we did it. 254 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: I just think that they get they get treated differently 255 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: than other people who have the same results that are 256 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: viewed as just football mediads. That's my overall point with 257 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: the take of the Ivy League thing, because if Andrew 258 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: Berry was just he had gone to San Diego State, 259 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: I don't think the coverage would be the same. That 260 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: is the overall gist of my take on this situation. 261 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: I also don't value like I mean, I was around 262 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: growing up some multimillion dollar farmers that didn't graduate high school. 263 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: So it's like I come from a world where and 264 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: listen again, I got a graduate degree, so it's like 265 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: my parents pushed education. I'm not anti education. I also 266 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: think it can be extremely overrated, and having worked in 267 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: a field now around a lot of people with traditional 268 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: media backgrounds, I'd say we look at it a little 269 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: bit differently. I would say that's fair, but like I 270 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: don't besmirch, if that's the correct word, those guys for 271 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: going to the Ivy League. But I don't think it's 272 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: really debatable that they get treated differently, and specifically the 273 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: GM that if we just take another franchise with their record, 274 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: they would get absolutely dumped on. As a Bears fan, 275 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm not used to getting a lot of media coverage 276 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: because there haven't been many bright spots in years past. However, 277 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: people are quick to hype up teams like the Chargers 278 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: and the Packers even though they have clear weaknesses. Obviously, 279 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: Caleb and Ben are still working things out. But curious 280 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: as to how you see the Bears even though we 281 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: have played great teams. We are fourign two and the 282 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: defense is looking great. I would say The difference is 283 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers have Jim Harbough who's been winning for almost 284 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: two decades now in every football team that he ran, right, 285 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: And I would say the same thing for the Packers. 286 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: They've been winning for three decades. Last year they had 287 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: a down season, they made the playoffs. The year before 288 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: they won a road playoff game with the same coach 289 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: and the same quarterback. So it's like, you get the 290 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: benefit of doubt. It's why whenever I see these people 291 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: that like wish Josh Allen sucked, it's like, when are 292 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: people gonna when are people gonna criticize his performance last night? Like, yeah, 293 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: he had a bad game. Have you been watching him 294 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: for six years? He's a fucking dominant player. Right. I'd 295 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: say the same thing for Lamar, Like the only way 296 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: you can criticize Lamar is like when he struggles in 297 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs, Like, I'm not crushing him for a bad 298 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: regular season game. Who cares? Right? There are certain players 299 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: that are on a level of like Jamar Chase can 300 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: have a bad regular season game. It's football. It happens, 301 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: but it doesn't diminish his his like status in the league. 302 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: And other guys like on a weekly basis we're judging 303 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams, you know, And I honestly thought, like, obviously, 304 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: last week, their defense was remarkable. They made Spence Rattler 305 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: look like a UFL quarterback. DeAndre Swift has looked sweet. 306 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: I thought Caleb did not look good. And it's really hard. Now, 307 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: if your defense is gonna be awesome and your running 308 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: game is gonna be awesome, you can get by with 309 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: an average quarterback. But I do believe that it's difficult 310 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: to just sustain winning once you played better teams, right 311 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: once you play the Lions and play the Packers. If 312 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: Caleb's gonna he was just running around constantly, it was 313 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: just like it was kind of bizarre. But they were 314 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: kicking ass and they win the game pretty easily, and 315 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: no one talks about it. But it was one thing 316 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: I saw. It's like, well, it's not like I would 317 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: feel a lot better about this team if he looked 318 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: good operating for Ben. I just don't think he really 319 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: has nook. If you hate Caleb Williams, no, I don't 320 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: have care about Kleb Williams at all. I wish he 321 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: was an awesome player. I wish all these quarterbacks were 322 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: awesome players. I would rather watch good quarterbacks. I literally 323 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: watched football for a living than shitty ones like we 324 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: gotta watch Carson Wentz on Thursday night, not really looking 325 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: forward to that as a Cowboy fan. I was wondering 326 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: your thoughts were on their position over the next two years. Obviously, 327 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: their defense is too bad in order to be competitive team, 328 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: but considering four first round picks along with the other picks, 329 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: I think they could have a shot at making a 330 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: great roster. Also, I hate Jerry Jones, but he usually 331 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: does well in the draft historically. Do you think they 332 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: can make an NFC championship for the first time since 333 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: the nineties in the next two or three years? Well, 334 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: how old is old Dakota Prescott? I'm pretty sure I'm 335 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: gonna guess thirty three. Dakota Prescott is thirty two. Just 336 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: turn thirty two this summer. So modern medicine, health training, 337 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: no reason he can't be a really good player at 338 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: thirty three, at thirty four, at thirty five, at thirty 339 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: like for the next three or four years. Look at 340 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. They transitioned off a bunch of 341 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: defensive guys and they drafted a defensive lineman a defense 342 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: tackle with their first two picks this year. Both guys 343 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: play a lot, and the defenses look pretty good. And 344 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: are they gonna be like Micah Parsons Nick Bosa level players. 345 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: Probably not, But can they be solid starters on a 346 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: good defense? Looks like it. So I think you just 347 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: approach it like you're going into the draft drafting defensive players, 348 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: whether it's the best corner, whether it's the best you know, 349 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: if you can find a Roquan Smith, whether you can 350 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 1: find a defensive tackle or a defensive end, and you 351 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: just keep picking defensive players. Right, You've invested heavily in 352 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: the offense. You've drafted a bunch of offensive linemen. You 353 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: paid the quarterback, you paid Ceedee Lamb, you paid Ferguson. 354 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: I would imagine you're gonna pay George Pickens. If they don't, 355 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: that would be a pretty big red flag. And to me, 356 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: it's just about investing in the defensive line. If you 357 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: told me their first two picks this draft in the 358 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: first round, let's say they use them both pick Let's 359 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: say the Cowboys end up going like eight, eight to 360 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: one and the Green Bay Packers, you know, are picked 361 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: twenty five. So you get picked twenty and twenty five 362 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: and they picked two defensive linemen. I don't think anyone 363 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: would quibble with that. But you can't just be like, oh, 364 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: just I kind of like this Jeremiah Love. In fairness, 365 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Jremia Love would be pretty sweet on their team, but 366 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: you got to take defensive lineman. You have to question 367 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: for the next show. USC fan starting to feel a 368 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: little discouraged with Lincoln Riley as a coach, particularly play calling. 369 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: Am I right to feel like we can get more 370 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: out of him? I think at this point in time, 371 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: he kind of is what it is, you know, I 372 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: think you can recruit better. One thing that he had 373 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma was their team was stacked. They had NFL 374 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, they had NFL running backs, they had NFL 375 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: wide receivers, they had an NFL quarterback, they had NFL 376 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: tight end. I mean some of those teams he coached 377 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: before he came to USC were I mean, offensively, were 378 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: Mark Andrew Ceedee, Lamb, Hollywood Brown, mix in p Ryan, 379 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown, I think Creed Humphrey, right, Baker Mayfield. Kyler 380 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: Murray's the backup on this. Like he was like, like, 381 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: we have a Kyle Lemon, Like, yeah, Lincoln used to 382 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: have about seven of those. So I think you just 383 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: got to keep recruiting. Notre Dame's in a better spot 384 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: and built up better than Notre Dame right now, or 385 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: than USC now, I completely disagree. You know, Coward goes 386 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: on this rant of this this game needs to stop. 387 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: You watch that game. It's like, no, this game does 388 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: not need to stop. They need to play it every 389 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: single year. Now I get USC is like, well we 390 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: still have to play Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, Washington. It's 391 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: like they get to pick and choose their own schedule. 392 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: It's like, well, Notre Dame, let's just let's come on 393 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: to the Big Ten, which feels inevitable as these conferences 394 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: continue to consolidate. But watching that game at night in 395 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: the cold, I mean, that's not really going to be 396 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: a Lincoln's deal, right, I mean, I would say most 397 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: of the time, and listen, part of playing in the 398 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: Big Ten, you're gonna play in some games in October 399 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: and November on the road at night, like it might 400 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: not be the greatest weather. I would say, you know, 401 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's teams are kind of built for sunshine and 402 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: scoring some points when it's going perfectly well, but does 403 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: he know defense well enough? He has a GM that 404 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: he hired from Notre Dame. I actually just started following 405 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: him on Instagram, like last week, Chad Bowden, I think 406 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: his name is. I read this La Times article. I 407 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: sent him a DM. I'm like, you know, I read 408 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: this article. Just your story is pretty cool, just how 409 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: he kind of came up at Cincinnati and a freeman 410 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, how most people didn't think the GM was 411 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: would leave and all of a sudden he tells him like, 412 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to USC. I think I think he's originally 413 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: from LA His dad is. I think former GM. I 414 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: think of the Cincinnati Reds. Grew up with the Collinsworth family. 415 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: Cool story and clearly, I mean really some of the 416 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: quotes from the Notre Dame coaching staff like really really 417 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: high thought, highly thought of. And that's the one thing 418 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: that's different now in college football, Like Lincoln, you coached 419 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: the team like I just came from Notre Dame. Like 420 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: let me pick some of the players, you know, let 421 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: me help isolate these are the type guys we need 422 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: because sometimes coaches, let's face it, like most guys aren't 423 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Most guys aren't Urban Meyer. A lot of 424 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: coaches are bad evaluators.

It's like, I didn't need 461 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: Florida state's ad or president or Wisconsin's ad or president 462 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: to give me a statement if you're not gonna do anything, 463 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: like yeah, we get it, you suck. They're always like 464 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: the standard is not good enough, but we're still evaluating, 465 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: like yeah, no shit, so were we all like it? 466 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: Why do we need these statements for optics?

If you're 470 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: not firing anybody, no one gives a shit, So yeah, 471 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: you just kind of let this situation go. One thing 472 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: I was maybe I'll talk about tomorrow, maybe I won't 473 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: is they must have his owners meetings going on right now, 474 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: because I saw Woody Johnson gave gave he was being 475 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: interviewed and said like basically got Aaron Glenn's back of saying, well, 476 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: what's he supposed to do? Our quarterback can't complete a pass? 477 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: And literally everyone on social media, everyone in the media 478 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: universally is like, Godfield sucks. This guy's one of the 479 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: worst quarterbacks I've ever seen. Woody Johnson then says the 480 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: same thing and everyone's like asshole. You can't say that. 481 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: Why not? What's he supposed to say? You know, Justin 482 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: Fields is coming along. No, he feels like they just 483 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: robbed us. Now, if you want to say, hey, Woody, 484 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: you just let the coach and GM give him that contract. 485 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: That's insane, Like my mother could have told you, like 486 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: he struggles from the pocket, not a great thrower. Just 487 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: got bench for Russell Wilson, who's like on Twitter talking 488 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: shit about Sean Payton's Like, Russell, listen, I'm not saying 489 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: Sean Payton has the highest approval rating with everybody, But 490 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: you definitely don't like I just I just let by 491 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: guns be by guns. You got paid to leave. You 492 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 1: guys hate each other. He definitely hates you. You know, 493 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: you pretend that you love everybody. But I just like 494 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: it's not necessary. And I would say the same thing 495 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: about these statements, like what, I just don't know what 496 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: Stephen Rosster, the GM is gonna say. There's literally nothing 497 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: they can say to make anything better unless they say 498 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna fire Mike and at the end of the 499 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: season we're gonna cut to a then people would be happy, 500 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: but that's they're not gonna say that a few weeks ago, 501 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned taking one of those blood food allergy tests, 502 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: was wondering if something they found was useful and you 503 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: would recommend doing It's a little overwhelming, I would say, 504 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: I found out I'm lactose. You know, I can't have dairy. 505 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to have dairy, and gluten not ideal 506 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: for me. So it's like, wait, literally everything I eat 507 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: now listen, Like, as you get older, you try to 508 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: avoid the carbs, but I think you kind of got 509 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: to be realistic about it now. Some of them. It's like, 510 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm severely allergic to shallots. You know. It's like, uh, 511 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: probably should pick and choose when I eat avocado stuff 512 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: like that. But just yeah, you should probably not eat 513 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: dairy or gluten. Uh, that's can be a little overwhelming. 514 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: It's like, well, so I don't get to put cheese 515 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: on anything. I don't. I don't put sour cream on 516 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: my chipole bowls anymore. But it also like, yeah, I 517 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: got a milk And I would say dairy products has 518 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: always been a little hit or miss, I would say 519 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: with my stomach. But the uh, the gluten one, that's 520 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: that hits deep. Man. I love I love a good bagel, sandwich. 521 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: I love pizza, love pasta. But it's like I gotta choose. 522 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: Do I want to be a fat ass inflamed, swollen, 523 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, guy with low energy, or do I want 524 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: to be vibrant and skinny. So we'll see if just 525 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: start in this journey, I don't know how it's gonna go. 526 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: But that was Yeah, that's a lot, I'll tell you 527 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: that much. It's no secret that you're not a fan 528 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: of the Falcons, But what is it about them that 529 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: makes you hate them? To me, they're no different than 530 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: any middling franchise. It's funny. It's like, I promise you this. 531 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't hate anybody. I really don't. My life's too 532 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: good to hate. I remove that from my go to emotions. 533 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: It's a waste of my energy. And I don't know 534 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: any of these people personally. Now, I would say my 535 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: take on the Falcons is twofold. I think their owners 536 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of douchey, and not because I like hate rich people. 537 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: This is pro capitalism show here, so good for him. 538 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm glad that he had successful business career. We celebrate 539 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: that here. Honestly I admire it, but like put himself 540 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame last year. Whenever he talks, 541 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: this is about him. He's a little much for me. Now, 542 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: you could argue a lot of owners are like that. True, 543 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: I do. I think they carry themselves like they're a 544 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: little more successful than not. And I do think two 545 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: years ago when they got rid of Arthur Smith and 546 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: what's his name, his president, this also like runs his 547 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: his will. I can't even think of his name now. 548 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: And obviously the GM you know, clearly they made the 549 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: right decision by not hiring Bill Belichick, but they also 550 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: acted like they knew what they were doing and it 551 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: was all Arthur Smith's fault. Where again I don't know 552 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith personally either. One night had some beers with 553 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: him years ago at the Combine. But anytime that like 554 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: an organization just points the finger at one person and 555 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: the people picking the players and kind of running the organization, 556 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: or like it's that idiot, not me, and then that 557 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: guy leaves and the same shit just continues to happen. 558 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: It's like, now, you guys are kind of fraudulent, and listen, 559 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: this league can there's so much money in the line. 560 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: Everyone wants to get their hand in the piggy Bank, 561 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: but I just something about it. I'm with you. They 562 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: are not like that bad. They're not the Jets or 563 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Their stadiums cool, but like and listen. Raheem 564 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: Morris is universally liked by everyone that I respect, you know, 565 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: in the business from the Shanahan Tree. I mean, Sean 566 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: McVay and Kyle Shanahan love the guy, so like, I 567 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: have nothing against him, but I think we have to 568 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: acknowledge like you acted like Arthur Smith was an idiot. 569 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: Hired this guy and it's been a debacle. I mean 570 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: there was I saw the clip I'm sure you did 571 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: too if you're a Falcon fan of him being asked 572 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: after the game about the ten men on the field 573 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: on the big third down. I mean, that's this is 574 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: this isn't four games into his career. I mean, he's 575 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: been there now a year and a half. It's pretty embarrassing. 576 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: I just think they're the way they carry themselves and 577 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: talk and the outcome are just two different operations, you know, 578 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: And I feel like they tried to not get treated 579 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: like some of these other organizations that lose a lot. 580 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: And it sure feels like since Matt Ryan fell off 581 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: a Cliff. They've been losing a lot and kind of 582 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: some embarrassing losses. I mean this year, think about it. 583 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: They just lost to the forty nine ers with their 584 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: second stringers, and they've gotten blown out by the Carolina Panthers. 585 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: I just have a hard time. I think sometimes in 586 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: the football business, when like no one ever wants to 587 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: take responsibility, they always want to point the finger at 588 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: someone else. And I'm talking more like in the front 589 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: office than you know. Coaches will backstab each other too, 590 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: but if you're the offensive coordinator, your offense sucks, it's 591 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: hard to hide, right. But with the GM's like, well, 592 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: he wanted that player, he wanted that quarterback. You know, 593 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: I didn't hire the coach, the GM wanted him. If 594 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm the president, I just think that happens a lot, 595 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: you know. And the Bruce Allen types. Who's with Washington forever? 596 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think the Atlanta Falcons president. Why can't 597 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: I get his name? That's not who I'm looking for. 598 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: Rich McKay. There's just any organization that has the Rich 599 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: McKay types. I'm just out on. And I don't take 600 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: that seriously because he wants credit if it went well, 601 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: he'd be front and center, but when it doesn't go well, 602 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: I just run the Arthur Smith, the billion dollar will, 603 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: like I'm just here to kind of support everybody. The 604 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: Kevin Warren types. It's like, you guys are just I 605 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: can't stand people like that. When I was with the Eagles, 606 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: it was Joe Banner. It's like they want the credit, 607 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: but when shit goes bad, they want to stab everyone 608 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: in the back. There's the league, and honestly, big business 609 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: is full of those type people. It's like they don't 610 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: own it. They're not really in charge, but they run 611 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: like a power playing role. I would always red flag 612 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: organizations with those human beings as a Ravens fan, wouldn't 613 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: it be a blessing in disguise if the Ravens were 614 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: truly to be this year's team from hell? What does 615 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: going nine to eight or ten and seven and beating 616 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: up on Slumpbusters and losing in the divisional championship round? Do? 617 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: I get it? It's a loser mindset to tank for 618 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the year, but you already are one 619 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: in five and making the playoffs would just be Lamar 620 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: saving Harbaugh's ass for a second time. Not to mention 621 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: that you would not have a top pick in each 622 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: of the rounds in a stacked edge class, and we 623 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: have had a revolving door of geriatric players on the 624 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: edge DN position since Suggs left. It also gives you 625 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: a chance to move off some of these big contracts 626 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: like Linderbaum and some other young players do to be 627 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: paid soon. To me, it's like in the next couple weeks, 628 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: if you rattle off a couple victories and look completely different, 629 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: it's football. You should try to me if you like, 630 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: if the Bears beat you coming off a bye, it's 631 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: over and it makes way more sense to be a 632 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: four or five win team and have the tenth pick 633 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: than it does to end up was eight or nine wins. 634 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: So I'm completely with you the hardball thing. It's like, 635 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: let's just play it out. You win five games this year, 636 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: because it's like, oh, Lamar's coming back in theory, I mean, 637 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 1: didn't mispractice yesterday, but Lamar was there when they were losing, 638 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: Like it's the defense was horrendous. I mean, their issues are. 639 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: Lamar was already kind of running around trying to make 640 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: things happen, and it didn't matter. They were getting blown out. 641 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: I think through four games, didn't they have like one 642 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: of the highest scoring defenses in the history of the league. 643 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: I think they gave up more points through four or 644 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: five games than anyone in the league history. So I 645 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing them. So the six games, 646 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: so it would be eleven. So to get to ten wins, 647 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: you'd have to go ten and one, or I guess 648 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: that'd be eleven wins. You have to go. You'd have 649 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: to go nine and two, Like I don't know, I 650 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: don't see that. That'd be go ten and seven. To 651 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: go nine and eight, you'd have to go eight and three. 652 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: Like the team we saw is gonna go eight and three. Now, 653 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: I think we talk about them like what they've been, 654 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: but what they've been is not what we saw this year. 655 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm anti tanking, but like, once you 656 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: start like two to eight and you have like your quarterback, Yeah, 657 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: I don't think it's the worst thing to lose some 658 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: games to get a higher pick, especially like historically guys 659 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: are drafted well and you never draft high. Imagine if 660 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: you had like the seventh overall pick, what's going on? 661 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: John Love the pot was wondering if you could break 662 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: down the team behind you a bit and if you're 663 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: looking to possibly expand we got a big team. We 664 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: got a great team. We got a lot of people 665 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: on this and you know, the volume. Very lucky to 666 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: have a lot of people this. I know a lot 667 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: of you just hear or see me, but all I 668 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: do is talk into a microphone. 669 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 670 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: You know. It starts with We've had a couple main 671 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: producers over the years. James who actually just officially left 672 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 1: because he's on Joe and Jada. He lives in Jersey 673 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: and that that podcast like a rocket ship. I was 674 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: actually with him in New York, so for a long 675 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,959 Speaker 1: time he did all the video. And now Shane, who 676 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: has been with us. I don't know, it feels like 677 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: a year. It might be less than that, at least 678 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: with my show specifically. So anything that you see video 679 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: wise of like our live streams, are the ads that 680 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: are you know, implemented in there to me just telling me, 681 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, kind of running the business behind the scenes 682 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: of when ads need to be read this is this week, 683 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: Hey we need to do this. You know, I'm very 684 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: dependent on those people to feed me information and then 685 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: they're tied in with like Josh, I call him Goldie, 686 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: who is kind of like I think his term is 687 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: technically the GM, Like he runs Collins podcast and then 688 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: he oversees a couple other ones. So it's like call 689 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: it kind of all under his umbrella, and we just 690 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: kind of now we're kind of a self sufficient operation here. 691 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: But from James to now Shane to Adam who runs 692 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: the audio, who makes me sound better, and he echo 693 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: in my room. He's loading audio for countless different you know, 694 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: different podcasts on the network. But also like you know, 695 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: I screw up. There are things that that maybe if 696 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: someone rings the doorbell and I leave, like things that 697 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: get edited out that I don't have to mess with. 698 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: So from an editing standpoint, I do nothing. You know, 699 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: I'm very dependent on Adam and Shane, and then you 700 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: know Jackson and Noah. You know Jackson, you know intern 701 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: Jackson and Noah who you don't know, but I think 702 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: I've talked about him before. He was the one feeding 703 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: me the Baker Mayfield twenty five to one for MVP. 704 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: You got Jackson playing football at Montana, a little walk 705 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: on status slow white. I think slot receiver, maybe try 706 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: to play outside. You know, it's like six or five 707 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: shooting guard. I think he played it like Ducaine. So 708 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: we got some athletes behind the scene and they just 709 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: crush it on the social media stuff. So listen, I've 710 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: been in this podcast business and I try to do 711 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff myself when I had a 712 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: previous show with my buddy guy, and it's it's hard, 713 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: and it's it's impossible, and I am very, very lucky 714 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: that this operation, you know, Rand but Logan kind of 715 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: runs the the content aspect for all the volume, but 716 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: has introduced me to these guys and got them on 717 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: my team, and it's been it's been good for everybody, 718 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: and it's we've got a cool group and just again 719 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,919 Speaker 1: they just like sports, which helps. So it's like I've 720 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: been very I've been very fortunate to work with normal, 721 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: good talented people because again, and I could talk into 722 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: a mic seven hours a day, and if I wasn't 723 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: associated with colin the volume, you wouldn't know I'd existed. 724 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: But from the social clips, to the videos, to the 725 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: audio getting cut and loaded. So when you get in 726 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: your car now at seven am in New York and 727 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: you're commuting, I had nothing to do with that, So 728 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, I hope they know how much 729 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate everything they're doing behind the scenes and how 730 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: talented and good all these guys are because they're fucking 731 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: ass kickers. I know you talk about this often, but 732 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: do you think any sources or people that can explain 733 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: how these gms get taken to school by agents? In 734 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: what world would Tua, Lawrence Kyler Purdy all worth the 735 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: contracts they were given. You always say who are you 736 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 1: bidding against? But seriously, who are they bidding against? How 737 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: does this happen? It seems like an absolute malpractice that 738 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: this is setting franchises back constantly. Is it agents trying 739 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: to get their breaks or trying to get their beaks wet? 740 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: Even if it is, how are the gms and owners 741 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: willingly letting this happen? It makes zero logical sense. Even Dak, 742 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: who is a good quarterback, is he worth sixty million 743 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: dollars a year? I get having an average quarterback is 744 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: better than nothing. Dak actually has played pretty good right now. 745 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like one of the best quarterbacks 746 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: in the league. I don't know, man, I think I 747 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: think you would really have to sit down with, like, 748 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan, Trent Balkey, some of 749 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: these guys over cocktails and because again we can all guess, 750 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 1: like why did you give Trevor Lawrence two hundred million dollars? 751 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: Like I like brock Purty a lot. I actually think 752 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: he took a relatively team friendly deal based on the 753 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: other deals. But it's like, Guys, he's played, he's been 754 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: the starter for two and a half years, Like, couldn't 755 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: we just play it out again? Well, then franchise tick. Well, 756 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: it's like, let's just keep proving it. That's the way 757 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: most of us work. It's what he's a quarterback? Well 758 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: is he Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar No, then let's 759 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: just let it play out. And I'm not trying like 760 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: party had proven that he could win, but then last 761 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 1: year they had a bunch of injuries. They won six games, 762 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: and he didn't play that well down the stretch, and 763 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: now he's injured in the team's winning. So it's like, 764 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm more pro perty than I am 765 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Kyler or Tua. But my first reaction will 766 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: always be as like, what's the rush? Why are we rushing? 767 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: Like I get the Packers giving Michah Parsons one hundred 768 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 1: and eighty eight million dollars, totally. I get the Cowboys 769 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: giving Ceedee Lamb or Jamar Chase two hundred million dollars, 770 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: totally get it right. But if like I have a 771 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: guy that's not elite at his job, and that's also 772 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: the problem. Like I'll use Kyle as an example, Kyle. 773 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: Kyle views brought purty like an elite. Like Kyle would 774 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: tell you he's every bit as good or I can 775 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: be every bit as good with him as like Patrick 776 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes is with Andy Reid, even if that's like not 777 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: actually true. I generally believe that he believes. So it's like, yeah, 778 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: I'll give him my guy a max amount of money. 779 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: But then you see Sam Darnald, who makes got like 780 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars guaranteed. I mean, just watch it me. 781 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: He looks like one of the better quarterbacks in the league. 782 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: It's like, I can get that guy for a third 783 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: of the price when I just want that guy. I 784 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: will say this, if I was a quarterback in my 785 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: career had hit some hard times and I was going 786 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: to be a quote unquote backup, I would call. The 787 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: first people I would call it would be the forty 788 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: nine ers because they are resurrecting careers, Sam Donald mac Jones, Uh, 789 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: they created brock Perty's career. I mean, Kyle Shanahan would 790 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: be my first call. I want in. That's what I 791 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: would say. If mac Jones' biggest regret he signed a 792 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: two year contract. Imagine if mac Jones had just signed 793 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: a one year contract, what would he get this offseason? 794 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: Like one year, twenty million bucks? Probably he would definitely 795 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: get the most amount of money for a bridge quarterback. 796 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: How much of the Packers just looking weird on offenses? 797 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: On the floor just seems like Green Bay is not 798 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: getting consistent results on offense. Lafloor just seems like he 799 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: coaches not to lose. I don't know. I mean, I 800 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: don't I don't get why. There's like a lack of 801 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: trust in Jordan Love and you can argue that he 802 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: makes some poor decisions every once in a while. You know, 803 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: Jacobs definitely doesn't feel quite as dominant this year as 804 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: he did last year. But if I remember correctly, didn't 805 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 1: he start slow last year too? I don't know something 806 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: Just you watch the Packers hard For me? To put 807 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: my finger on again. I liked him to. I got 808 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: a bet on them to win the NFC. I got 809 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: multiple bets on them that aren't gonna hit because they're 810 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: also tied to the Texans to win the division, which 811 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: I don't even feel that great about. But you watch them, 812 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 1: something just a little off. Something's just a little off, 813 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 1: you know. Looking at Jacobs right now, he's had a 814 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: couple of eighty yard games. He said, three eighty yard games, 815 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: got eight touchdowns this year. He actually scoring a lot 816 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 1: of touchdowns, but shit, he had fifteen last year. He's 817 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: been a monster for the Packers. Actually, in between last 818 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: year and this year, these are just rushing touchdowns. He 819 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: has twenty three rushing touchdowns. I mean, if I get 820 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns from a guy like Jacob's ain't a problem. 821 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a great question. I don't you 822 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: know better than me. I can't put my finger on 823 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: the Packers. Befuddled? Can I tell you about my friends 824 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: at Bub's Natural. I've been taking a scoop of this 825 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,240 Speaker 1: every day for the last couple of weeks, and getting 826 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: old isn't that fun? You know, your skin gets thinner, 827 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: your body aches more, after workouts. It's tough, and that's 828 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: why you need to do everything possible to work against that. 829 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: And taking a scoop of this in the morning, getting 830 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: my collagen peptides. I've noticed one. I feel like my 831 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 1: skin is definitely glowing more and from a workout standpoint, 832 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: my body feels as fresh as it's felt in years. 833 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: No sugars, no sweeteners, unflavored from grass fed, pasteurized raised cattle. 834 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 1: Cannot recommend this stuff enough again, skin glowing, body feels good, 835 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: live longer.

I gotta get your perspective 841 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: on this. Would the openings at Penn State and Florida 842 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: be considered better opportunities for Lane Kiffin or should he 843 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: stay at Ole Miss. I think Lane Kiffin's a big 844 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: Florida guy by all accounts. I've listened to a lot 845 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: of you know, college football people talk about the podcast. 846 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: I think he's got a house there Obviously, his dad 847 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: is synonymous with the State Tampa two defense coach. There 848 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: forever Lane resurrected his career, I would say, post Alabama 849 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: as a head coach, at was it NAU. I get 850 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: some of those schools and I you and I Northern FAU, 851 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 1: and I guess it wouldn't be NAU, would be FAU, 852 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic University, whatever school a Lank coached at. I 853 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: just think that you know there is and I said 854 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: this before you're gonna find out there is just a 855 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 1: prestige coaching at certain jobs. But one thing I noticed 856 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: last weekend, the SEC has the best home environments. I mean, 857 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 1: Auburn is in shambles. They have had back to back 858 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,760 Speaker 1: night games that looked as good as any football environment 859 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: there is. Ryan Grubb, the Bama offensive coordinator, said, I've 860 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: been coaching for a long time. I've won, you know, 861 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: Division two national champions one Double A national championships. I've 862 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: coached in the National championship game at Washington. I've played 863 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: in massive games against Oregon. He's like, that was the 864 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: best atmosphere I've ever seen by a country mile. Vanderbilt, 865 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,240 Speaker 1: which is used to being also ran that game against 866 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: LSU was rocking and did Georgia ole Miss game ole 867 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,280 Speaker 1: Miss's stadium. I mean, these these atmospheres are pretty sweet, 868 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, Florida's an awesome atmosphere, but Lane 869 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: plays in the sweet place. So I think it's more 870 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: about like, at this point in time, Lane's super rich. 871 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: So it's not like he already makes ten million dollars 872 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: a year whether they give him fifty to eighty million dollars, 873 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: He's already like not worrying about money, So it's less 874 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: about money and more like would he rather live in 875 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: Gainesville than live in Oxford, Mississippi? Does he think that 876 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: the prox city it's it's closer for him to recruit 877 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: some top players? Does that even matter now? And like 878 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 1: ultimately does he want the challenge? Like has he done 879 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 1: everything humanly possible he can do at ole Miss? I 880 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe Penn State makes much sense for him 881 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: because he's he's a rock star in the SEC and 882 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen feels like an SEC guy. And you saw 883 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: that interaction he had pregame and postgame with Kirby, like 884 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: he kind of I think he's found his people, and 885 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a I think that's really important in life, 886 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: finding your people. I feel very I've lived in a 887 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: lot of places, spent a lot of time. Obviously born, 888 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 1: raised in California, but I've lived for a couple of 889 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: years in Philadelphia, i lived for six months in Kansas City. 890 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 1: I've lived in you know, from the Bay Area to 891 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: Fresno to you know, the coast in San Luis Obispo. Like, 892 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 1: I've been around a lot of different types of people, 893 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 1: because everywhere you live, people are wired a little bit different. Right, 894 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 1: We're all quote unquote Americans, But like, living in Florida 895 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: is a lot different than living in Seattle than living 896 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: in New York City. And I think once you find 897 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: like these are my typic Like I just vibe with Arizona. 898 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: It's just it's just my vibe, it works like I 899 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 1: fucking belong here. And I think that really matters when 900 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:21,919 Speaker 1: you are professionally ambitious. So it's like, because he still 901 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: has a lot to accomplish, that old miss. If these 902 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: are his people and he fits in well, and he's 903 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 1: openly talked about how important coaching there has been to 904 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: his life, then yeah, stay. But if you feel that 905 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: you're more Florida than you are Mississippi, then go I 906 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 1: think it's about much more personal stuff than it is professionally, 907 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 1: because like Ole Miss pays a ton Ole Miss has. 908 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,840 Speaker 1: I think they had one of the the highest payrolls 909 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: in the country last year with their roster, So it's 910 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: not like they won't pay for the players. He can 911 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: obviously pay coaches. He plays against the best teams Georgia, Bama, LSU, 912 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 1: like he's playing them all every year, so it's not 913 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: like he needs to go to Florida to play better competition. 914 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: It's just about, like you want to live somewhere different. 915 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: I really think it's that simple, because at this point 916 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: in time ten years ago, it's a no brainer. Now 917 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 1: it might not be to me. Penn State makes no 918 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: sense for Lang Kivin wouldn't touch that job. With a 919 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: ten football with quarterbacks getting second and third chances, where 920 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 1: can mac Jones be traded to with a chance to 921 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: be a starter next year. I just don't think the 922 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: forty nine ers can afford to trade him. I mean, 923 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,800 Speaker 1: their starting quarterback now has had a major shoulder injury 924 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 1: or I guess elbow injury. That they were lucky it 925 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 1: was the NFC championship game or if that happens during 926 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: the season, would have cost him the year he got 927 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: banged up? Was it last year? I forget the exact 928 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 1: injury off the top of my head. And obviously now 929 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: he can't play games. Kyle Shanahan just said yesterday like 930 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,399 Speaker 1: he ain't playing this week. So mac Jones like part 931 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: of having life insurance plan, especially those of us if 932 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: you're listening with children, like who knows what if I 933 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: cross the street and a truck hits me and I die? 934 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: You never know? Do you think the forty nine ers 935 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: plan when they gave brock Purty all that money for 936 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: brock Purty to miss all these games? Of course not, 937 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,760 Speaker 1: but they had a contingency plan and that's was their insurance. 938 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 1: Was mac Jones? So and then he has a bunch 939 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,760 Speaker 1: of success. The other thing is I think his contract 940 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: was like two years, seven million dollars total. I think 941 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: mac Jones's borderline untradeable for this team. Resurgence of quarterbacks 942 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones and mac Jones and the longer term 943 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: rebounds from guys like Baker and Sam do you think 944 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: teams might start taking more chances on formally quote unquote 945 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,879 Speaker 1: BUS quarterbacks instead of spending draft capital on rookies. Since 946 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, roughly a third of the quarterbacks once labeled 947 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: BUS have managed to turn their careers around. Could smart, 948 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,240 Speaker 1: well run teams start viewing that as a more efficient 949 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: or higher probability move than drafting a first quarterback. I 950 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,239 Speaker 1: think it's already happening. Like, look at all these quarterbacks 951 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 1: that end up on different teams. They've all been given 952 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: other shots. Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Mac Jones, 953 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Baker Mayfield, Like they bounced around to other 954 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: teams before they ended up where they're at now. So 955 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 1: the thing when you're drafted high, you're always given constant opportunities. 956 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,720 Speaker 1: I think Sam Donald, you know, after being a backup 957 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 1: for the Niners, was given one year as ten million 958 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,839 Speaker 1: dollars based on not much. Now he's changed the course 959 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: of his career in Minnesota. But like you could argue, like, wait, 960 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 1: well you're give him ten million dollars for what? But 961 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 1: that's because he was a high draft pick. You get 962 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: more opportunities. You know. The NFL is a meritocracy. That 963 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,760 Speaker 1: is true. Right once training camp starts, once the game start, 964 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 1: you can be the thirtieth pick. If the undrafted free 965 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 1: agent is out playing you, he is going to start 966 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: in you or not, period, point blank, end of story. 967 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: But if that undrafted free agent plays and he sucks, 968 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 1: he is not gonna get the same amount of opportunities 969 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: around the league as the second or first rounder if 970 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 1: he sucks, because you can cut that guy. And I 971 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 1: mean you see it with the receivers all the time, 972 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: like Dante Pettis, forty nine ers drafted high and he's 973 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: been on like sevent teams since. If Dante Pettis had 974 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: been an undrafted free agent instead of a guy drafted 975 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: in the second round, he's not getting the same amount 976 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 1: of opportunities. So I think that I think that's always 977 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: been the case. It's pretty rare for a guy drafted 978 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 1: really high to not get I mean, you gotta be 979 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: an all time disaster for no one to touch you. 980 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: When do we start talking about Matt Safford is the 981 00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: MVP seventeen touchdowns, two interceptions, two thousand yards, no PUKA 982 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 1: and mediocre run game. I'm talking about him. He's fucking awesome. 983 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: The NFC West, we got the little overachieving Niners. We 984 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: got Seattle that looks incredible on defense, JSN and Sam 985 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,839 Speaker 1: Darnold in the running backs sharp and a Kenneth Walker. 986 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they ain't a lot of talent. There's John 987 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,240 Speaker 1: Sneyder's good as his job and the Rams that defense 988 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 1: looks good. Stafford looks good. Shocker, DeVante Adams is good. 989 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,319 Speaker 1: It's like Keenan Allen DeVante Adams. You give good those 990 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: guys to good quarterbacks are gonna be good. I don't 991 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: care that they're slow. No, Keenan's slower and DeVante, but 992 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: like those guys are pros. You know those guys are good. 993 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: This Texans offense since Watson left Houston, has left a 994 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: lot to be desired. I still believe CJ is a 995 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: super Bowl level quarterback, but they need to get him 996 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: a good OC. If Mike McDonald becomes available, would you 997 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: hire him for ten million dollars a year? No, ten 998 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 1: million dollars a year ten. I don't think Mike's making 999 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 1: ten now I would hire him, I guess. But I 1000 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: think one thing Casario needs to do, and we actually 1001 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,400 Speaker 1: talked about this last night after we got done the recording, 1002 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 1: is I will defend them a little bit. They made 1003 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: a bold move right, I do think. I don't know 1004 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: this for a fact, but it was kind of clear 1005 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 1: the owner was on them about drafting a quarterback. So 1006 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 1: they drafted CJ, which immediately looked like a good pick. 1007 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: But then they really wanted Will Anderson, so they traded 1008 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 1: from twelve up to three. So they went c J Stroud, 1009 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,919 Speaker 1: Will Anderson back to back. Well, we looked it up. 1010 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,320 Speaker 1: They traded pick twelve, pick thirty three, and the following 1011 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,720 Speaker 1: year's first round pick to do that. So you're watching 1012 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,399 Speaker 1: the text and you're like, God, it feels like they're 1013 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 1: missing a couple players. Well, yeah, they are, because they 1014 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 1: gave up a first round pick and picked thirty three 1015 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, that could be a guard 1016 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,959 Speaker 1: and a running back. All of a sudden, that could 1017 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 1: be some unreal tight end and a tackle. Right, but 1018 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 1: that guy doesn't exist because they traded it away to 1019 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 1: get Will Anderson, who's a badass. But like, part of 1020 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 1: the acquisition price to get Will Anderson was losing out 1021 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: on other players, and their team has serious holes and 1022 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of comes with the territory of making a 1023 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 1: trade like that. So I just think Casario's got to 1024 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 1: find a way to like improve the offensive personnel and 1025 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: the offensive line, specifically Cole Popovich. I was thinking about 1026 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 1: this last night. Who is their offensive line coach? My 1027 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,520 Speaker 1: first year at President State in two thousand and eight, 1028 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 1: he was the right guard and he got We played 1029 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: Rutgers Week one and they had like the mccordy Twins, 1030 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 1: Kenny britt They were really good. We beat him, No 1031 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 1: big deal. He got hurt in that game and his 1032 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,440 Speaker 1: career just ended. He might have got hurt maybe in 1033 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: training camp. I'm pretty sure he played Week one. But 1034 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 1: the year before Ryan Wendell, who's the Rams coach, offensive 1035 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,879 Speaker 1: line coach, and Cole Popovich, who's the Houston Texans coach, 1036 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 1: were the garden center for Frez. A team I think 1037 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 1: it won nine or ten games. I was thinking, like, 1038 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: how many college teams in the last twenty years have 1039 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 1: two of their five starting offensive linemen. There are offensive 1040 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: line coaches in the NFL. Pretty awesome accomplishment for Pat Hill, 1041 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 1: who's also an offensive line guy. Just tidbit that no 1042 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: one might care about beside me. Born and raised in Indy. 1043 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 1: We all know the quarterbacks situation since Luck retired and 1044 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 1: the carousel seemed endless with the passing of JJ or 1045 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 1: Jim Rsey, not JJ, his badass dart daughter's taking the 1046 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 1: reins and the resurgence of Indiana Jones and Jonathan Taylor. 1047 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It's just like reading off all the 1048 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 1: sweet Things with Shane from Philly and lou from Cincy. 1049 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: Am I completely insane to think the Colts could be 1050 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 1: a perfect place for AJ Brown and Trey Hendrickson to 1051 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 1: join the squad for a Super Bowl push. So basically, 1052 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: trade your first round pick for AJ Brown, your second 1053 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: round pick for Trey. I think that's a little ambitious. 1054 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: But would I do that if I was Chris Ballard one. 1055 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 1: I do think that the Eagles are in a spot 1056 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: where I just think you can't give away a J. Brown. 1057 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 1: He's too good. You just kind of deal with him 1058 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 1: posting some weird stuff about Jaylen. It just kind of 1059 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 1: is what it is. But yeah, I don't know. I 1060 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna get traded. Trade the Bengals lose 1061 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 1: a couple of games, for sure, could get traded. When 1062 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 1: does how he ever trade someone sweet? He'll trade for 1063 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 1: someone sweet, But I have a hard time like a J. 1064 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 1: Brown clearly is one of the best players in the league. Like, 1065 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,400 Speaker 1: that's you just see when he turns it on. Now, 1066 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 1: you could argue it's a little hit or miss, but 1067 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: they're clearly not as good. You know, the Eagles mindset 1068 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 1: is to the Bengals, obviously in a different place, but 1069 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles like, why can't we just be back in 1070 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game and then we're sixty minutes away 1071 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 1: from the Super Bowl? Look at our team. No, it's 1072 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 1: not guaranteed, but trading aj Brown, even for a first 1073 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: round pick, makes us that less likely to happen. I'd 1074 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 1: rather trade him in the offseason for like a second 1075 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: and a fourth than do it during the season, because 1076 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 1: even if he's mad, what's he's gonna loaf? He still 1077 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: plays hard. What's up with these play callers calling all 1078 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 1: these double passes? After seeing the failed ones from USC 1079 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,600 Speaker 1: in the Seattle Seahawks game, it got me thinking, I 1080 00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: don't think I've seen a successful double pass in four years. 1081 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 1: You know, when you spend fifteen twenty hours a day 1082 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: Monday through Thursday, and even Friday is probably a thirteen 1083 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,640 Speaker 1: hour day. Saturday for traveling's a long day. You spend 1084 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 1: a lot of time thinking and they say paralysis. 1085 00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 2: By an paralysis by analysis, analysis by paralysis, screwing that 1086 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:36,720 Speaker 2: statement up, but whatever, just overthinking, like sometimes just idle 1087 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:43,320 Speaker 2: time and just you know, the creative mind can work 1088 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 2: to your benefit and also can hurt you. 1089 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 1: You know, like the Chiefs. Did you see the play 1090 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: that went viral of them running that like kind of 1091 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 1: diamond formation where they hand to one of the upbacks 1092 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: who's on I think to the left of Mahomes, and 1093 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes is pretending to try to at them to jump 1094 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 1: off sides and start screaming like fuck, this never works, 1095 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 1: And clearly he was doing that to screw them up, 1096 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 1: like a there's a fine line between doing like that's 1097 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 1: pretty genius and they got some downtime they're probably bsing 1098 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 1: on the practice field. Who I don't know whose idea 1099 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 1: that was, but like, and then the double pass when 1100 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: you're just driving easily down the field, and I think 1101 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the double pass comes with one football 1102 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 1: can be pretty what's the best way to describe it, 1103 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 1: Monotonous can be taxing on a daily basis of just 1104 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 1: doing the same things over and over. Right, You show 1105 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: up early, you film, study, you work out, you breakfast, 1106 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 1: you practice, you go to meetings, you walk through you rehab. 1107 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 1: It's just the same thing over and then just trying 1108 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: to get to the game and then you do it 1109 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: all again. And part of keeping guys engaged is doing 1110 01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,920 Speaker 1: fun shit, like Coach Reid is really good at that, 1111 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 1: Like that Mahomes moment, Like that helps guys stay locked in, 1112 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 1: Like how are you supposed to Like I understand Mahomes 1113 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: is an ambitious like you know, an achiever, right, but 1114 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,919 Speaker 1: still he's human being. Twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty years old, 1115 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: got a couple kids, super rich, they've already won a bunch. Like, 1116 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: just doing the same thing over and over a practice, 1117 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 1: like you can lose your focus. And the easiest way 1118 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,439 Speaker 1: to keep guys engaged is like bust out a trick 1119 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 1: play every once in a while in practice. Well, you 1120 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 1: can't just run and practice over and over. Eventually you 1121 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: want to run in the games. So I can imagine 1122 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 1: when that play call comes in in a game, they 1123 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 1: all probably light up in the in the huddle. Now, 1124 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 1: when you throw it to the other team, it's obviously 1125 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: a disaster, but I do kind of get it, you know, 1126 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 1: part of I don't know exactly the rules we're gonna 1127 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: have for I'd be a pretty big hypocrite, you know, 1128 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: about having a very strict diet for my unborn children. 1129 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: But like, you can't just say you never get ded 1130 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: ice cream in your entire life, Like that's not really 1131 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 1: a healthy way to approach it. But you also can't 1132 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 1: give him ice cream for breakfast. But every once in 1133 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: a while you gotta let him have an ice cream code. 1134 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of like a trick. Plays. Obviously, 1135 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:14,920 Speaker 1: when they work, you look like a genius, but you 1136 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: can't just never run them, especially good teams. I mean, 1137 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:36,080 Speaker 1: that's just helps people stay engaged. How come Sean Payton 1138 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 1: isn't taking more heat for his play calling. It's either 1139 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 1: screens or deep balls. While bow has definitely struggled with 1140 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,480 Speaker 1: balls twenty plus yards down the field, I feel like 1141 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,840 Speaker 1: he's a good thrower ten to twenty yard routes. Totally agree. 1142 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: I feel like when they get him on the run 1143 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: and he has like crossing routes, like if he's going 1144 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: to his right and one of the wide receivers is 1145 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 1: basically paralleling him, you know, if he's five yards behind 1146 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and that guy's ten to fifteen 1147 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: yards past the line of scrimmage following him. He's good 1148 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 1: on the run making those throws. I mean, he made 1149 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 1: a bunch in that game against the Giants in the 1150 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But just like having him drop back and 1151 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 1: throw some go routes or deep breaking routes, it's clearly 1152 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 1: not been working, and it feels like they are running them, 1153 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 1: and maybe it feels they're doing it more because they 1154 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 1: miss it so often. It's actually not that high of 1155 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,760 Speaker 1: a number. But I don't understand why they don't utilize 1156 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 1: his legs way more often. Okay, do you think the 1157 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty draft happened again, Jordan Love would be taken 1158 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 1: ahead of Herbert and Jalen Hurts. Love is won in 1159 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs and played in more games than Herbert, and 1160 01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 1: I think that it's fair to say he's more physically 1161 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: gifted than Herts. The twenty draft, Burrow Tua, Herbert Love 1162 01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:54,800 Speaker 1: Hurts well. I think if you don't factor in injuries, 1163 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Burrow's a lock to go one. I think if you're 1164 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,560 Speaker 1: doing it today and you're factoring in injuries, Bro's pretty risky. 1165 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean he's had major injuries, major injuries, so to me, 1166 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: people are gonna think I'm nuts, but I think there'd 1167 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 1: be a big contingent in the NFL that would take 1168 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 1: Herbert again, based on today the information we have on 1169 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: the injuries to what clearly is going last. You know, 1170 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: I think that the Shanahan guys like I Hurts would 1171 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: not look good in the Packers offense. Hurts would not 1172 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 1: be good for Kyle Shanahan. He would not you couldn't function. 1173 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: Hurts would not operate in Baker Mayfield offense. So you 1174 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,400 Speaker 1: have to kind of build the offense specifically for Jalen. 1175 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 1: So I think it would be very dependent on the coach. 1176 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:48,080 Speaker 1: I think Jalen, excuse me, Jordan in theory. And again 1177 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm not like anointing him some the greatest things since 1178 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: slice spread. He can be very hit or miss, but 1179 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,560 Speaker 1: he's a little more less scheme dependent, you know, Jalen, 1180 01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 1: you have to have a pretty clear plan of attack. 1181 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: I would say I would even put two on this list. 1182 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: You know, I think all four of those guys, Burrow, Herbert, Love, 1183 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 1: Hurts would go I mean one through four. I to 1184 01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 1: probably goes in like the fourth round. It's crazy how 1185 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 1: Baddy looks. Jeez, Lions fan what is wrong with our offense? 1186 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 1: The old line is good at times, but we can't 1187 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 1: move the ball consistently when it matters. But you have 1188 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 1: young us, you have a new center and new guard. 1189 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,800 Speaker 1: One's a rookie. I mean, it's just part of the deal. 1190 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Sewell, Decker excellent players. Your skill guys are excellent. 1191 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Like I'd be pretty bullish an alliance, I wouldn't be 1192 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 1: that worried about the offense. With the Chiefs now surprising 1193 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,760 Speaker 1: back to normal, Lamar injured, the Bill's secondary week, the 1194 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 1: Chargers banged up, the Broncos not playing well, and Joe 1195 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,720 Speaker 1: Burrow out, etc. Everyone else implos they still get the 1196 01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 1: one seed by home field and get a week first 1197 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: round all leading up to the AFC Championship in Arrowhead, 1198 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,919 Speaker 1: and no one really good enough on defense to stop them. 1199 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 1: With that feeling like it's inevitable, does it take the 1200 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,919 Speaker 1: excitement out of the regular season for you? It does 1201 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 1: for me. It almost makes an AFC regular season game pointless. 1202 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 1: I think if you got Andy Reid and Spags and 1203 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 1: Veach on the phone right now, they'd say, listen, it's 1204 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 1: easy to say out loud. All the shit's hard. Some 1205 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 1: of these games we have won. Against Buffalo, we easily 1206 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 1: could have lost, even the game that you know, we 1207 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: kind of embarrassed Lamar didn't. Wasn't the final score seventeen 1208 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 1: to ten when they beat him. It's not like they 1209 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 1: are winning these games forty five to seven. So it's football. 1210 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 1: You're one weird bounce away from being down ten nothing. 1211 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,120 Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs even remember the first year they 1212 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,160 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl when they had the crazy comebacks 1213 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: against Tennessee. Was Cincinnati. I forget who they were down. 1214 01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: It was Houston. It was like Houston and Tennessee or 1215 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:05,040 Speaker 1: Hennessee than Houston, whatever the setup was. It's football. I 1216 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be that easy. I hear 1217 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,120 Speaker 1: what you're saying, because I told Maria this the other day. 1218 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, the Chiefs are gonna be back in the 1219 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl. It's like, I don't want it. I'm like, well, 1220 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 1: we're Andy Reid Veach people like we're rooting for It's like, no, 1221 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm not, I've seen enough. I'm like, well I am, 1222 01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: because I appreciate him. I mean, if they get back 1223 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, that is an incredible accomplishment. It 1224 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: really is. And I've always been obviously know these guys personally, 1225 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 1: but even the Patriots, like I didn't know Belichick or Tom, 1226 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 1: but I did appreciate like how dominant they were because 1227 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 1: how hard it is to do that. This isn't This 1228 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 1: isn't the Dodgers that have a seven hundred million dollar player, 1229 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 1: four hundre million dollar player, three two hundred million dollar pitchers, 1230 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,880 Speaker 1: like it's this isn't that the former MVP first baseman 1231 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 1: Muncie who's sweet? Should the Titans hire Belichick as the 1232 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: head coach and Mike McDonald's the offensive coordinator, find a 1233 01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 1: decent personnel guy and go from there. That's the problem 1234 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 1: with the Titans is they already got the personnel guys. 1235 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: It's two of them. Brinkerd in Berganzi. So Belichick, Belichick's 1236 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 1: NFL career is over, like he's even if he got 1237 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,360 Speaker 1: North Carolina turned around a couple of years. By then, 1238 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 1: he's seventy five, seventy six years old. It's pretty crazy 1239 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 1: Belichick's never coaching in the NFL again. I guess it's 1240 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 1: not as crazy saying that right now. October twentieth, first, 1241 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, based on what we've seen in North Carolina, though, 1242 01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 1: I I do think the Pablo Tore video of her 1243 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: talking much more nothing burger than it is a story like, yeah, 1244 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: she's crazy, we know what do you think she's gonna? Sound? Like? 1245 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 1: Like I just found that again. I am not against salacious, 1246 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:57,880 Speaker 1: crazy stories of like the video of Belichick coming out, 1247 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 1: which looking back might have been her house shirtless. Like, 1248 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,639 Speaker 1: I'm not against content like that, but I did feel 1249 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,799 Speaker 1: a little uneasy watching Belichick miked up with her talking 1250 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: about like stupid sayings relative to football. It's like, who cares? 1251 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 1: This is so stupid? We get it, someone with underdog 1252 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 1: fantasy hat or leaked this out, But I just don't 1253 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 1: does this what does this change? What does this do? 1254 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,919 Speaker 1: I even thought like, oh, Michael Lombardi goes to Saudi Arabia, 1255 01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,840 Speaker 1: you mean like everyone else, like literally everyone is trying 1256 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,679 Speaker 1: to get balls deep and they're trillions of dollars. He ain't, 1257 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: Like is that a weird story? Maybe it would have 1258 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 1: been a weird story twenty years ago, but in twenty 1259 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 1: twenty five, Like, isn't the Big Tens sniffing around their 1260 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 1: money too? Isn't everyone? I mean, every single sport? I 1261 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 1: just think sometimes with those two guys. Specifically, it's got 1262 01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 1: a little Mike McDaniel feel like everyone's just trying to 1263 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: shit on him, and obviously Pablo is getting people to 1264 01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 1: feed him shit. But just watching that video, I went, 1265 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: is there more to this? Is there? Should I be 1266 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 1: watching this video? Like? Do I feel a little icky? Yeah? 1267 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: I kind of did, because I also think it's kind 1268 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,479 Speaker 1: of stupid. Is Fernando Mendoza top ten draft pick? The 1269 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,320 Speaker 1: algorithm first put me on your feed and now I'm 1270 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 1: a weekly watcher. I like this guy. Uh. I text 1271 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: a couple of people a couple weeks ago and they 1272 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 1: said no. But now, relative to the class, I think 1273 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,280 Speaker 1: there's a pretty good chance if he's gonna be the 1274 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: top quarterback. We know top quarterbacks get overdrafted. Like, I 1275 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 1: don't see why he couldn't go number one overall. He's tall, huge, 1276 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 1: arm winning, Signetti loves him, was good last year at 1277 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 1: Cal on a team that didn't have much talent. So 1278 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,280 Speaker 1: I would say if I was a betting man right now, 1279 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 1: I would say he has the best opportunity to go 1280 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 1: number one overall. I would also bet that a quarterback 1281 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 1: doesn't go number one overall, which probably be a stupid 1282 01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 1: bet based on reason history. I still got a lot 1283 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 1: of questions. It's a big ass mailbag. I was so 1284 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,800 Speaker 1: upset when they traded Micah, but now seeing how the 1285 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 1: season has played out, I'm actually glad we didn't. Instead, 1286 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 1: we gained valuable resources the cap flexibility to make smart 1287 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,599 Speaker 1: moves this offseason. My question being would you have paid 1288 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 1: Parson or moved on? I think the only thing you 1289 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 1: can really dg them on is the timing of the trade. 1290 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,040 Speaker 1: What they should have done is traded him before the 1291 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 1: draft because their team's pretty good and they could have 1292 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 1: used that draft capital like a defensive lineman. What if 1293 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,559 Speaker 1: they just had a starting defensive end that they had 1294 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: just drafted. So that, to me, would be the question 1295 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 1: mark of how they got here, not that Micah Parsons 1296 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,559 Speaker 1: was traded. Their defense. Even if you put them on, 1297 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 1: it would only do so much. But to me, should 1298 01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,760 Speaker 1: they have traded him before the draft, And if they 1299 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: had done that, would they have gotten more? That's a 1300 01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 1: fair criticism, but I never If you've listened to me, 1301 01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:57,800 Speaker 1: you knew I didn't have that big a deal with 1302 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:02,120 Speaker 1: trading him. It's not like if the Packers had Micah 1303 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,639 Speaker 1: Parsons and traded Michael Parsons, Like you're a super Bowl contender? 1304 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: Why are you trading this guy? The Cowboys clearly were not. 1305 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly, the Cowboys have been one of 1306 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: the best stories in the NFL. Brian Schottenheimer, what a 1307 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 1: pretty cool moment for again a guy everyone shit on. 1308 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,599 Speaker 1: Curious to hear your thoughts on the Giants in your opinion? 1309 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Are they a playoff level good in one or two 1310 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:25,840 Speaker 1: years and then they got a long way to go? 1311 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Let's just well, let's just figure out, like I is 1312 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,200 Speaker 1: Brian Dable their coach or not next year? I mean, 1313 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,960 Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. What does neighbors 1314 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,799 Speaker 1: look like coming back off the injury? What's the coaching 1315 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:40,760 Speaker 1: staff next year? Let's just I can't put him in 1316 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,479 Speaker 1: the playoffs anytime near in the near future. We got 1317 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,880 Speaker 1: a lot of holes to fill, and specifically, the best 1318 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,679 Speaker 1: offensive skill guy needs to be healthy. If he's healthy, 1319 01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 1: and they have a good draft, which it feels like 1320 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 1: they've had a couple good drafts. Now, yeah, I don't 1321 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 1: see why they couldn't be a playoff competitive team. Do 1322 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 1: you think the NFL divisions should be adjusted? To be 1323 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:06,200 Speaker 1: more geographically fair to a team like the Cowboys. Texans 1324 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,840 Speaker 1: are not Texans Texas being in a division with New York, 1325 01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and Maryland makes no sense. It's about market, baby. 1326 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,960 Speaker 1: They want the Eagles playing the Cowboys. They want the 1327 01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 1: Commanders playing the Cowboys. They want the Giants playing the Cowboys. 1328 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 1: It's a business and at the end of the day, 1329 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 1: these people are chartering jets. It's also like usc like 1330 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 1: should they be playing Ohio State and in Michigan? You know, 1331 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 1: in Maryland Rutgers. Probably not. But it's about money and 1332 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 1: you ain't putting the Cowboys with like the Saints and 1333 01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,680 Speaker 1: the Jags. I'll promise you that. So I think they 1334 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,439 Speaker 1: like a lot where the Cowboys stand. I'm with you. 1335 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Doesn't make perfect sense. Once upon a time, the San 1336 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,760 Speaker 1: Franco Giants in the Atlanta Braves were in the same 1337 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,200 Speaker 1: division in baseball. Make that make sense? Pretty sure? The 1338 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers and the Atlanta Falcons were in the 1339 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 1: same division. So it's just listen. I think we've come 1340 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,800 Speaker 1: a long way, but the Cowboys are not leaving that 1341 01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,599 Speaker 1: group of teams, I'll promise you that. Do you think 1342 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: the Niners are starting to have thoughts on the Party 1343 01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 1: contract regret and the way Mac Jones have been playing. 1344 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 1: Not saying Purty isn't good, but Mack is playing hurt 1345 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 1: and far from the eye test, looks very similar to 1346 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 1: Party at a much lower cost. Also, it feels like 1347 01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,280 Speaker 1: there is more resurgence of the bus quarterback than ever 1348 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: before in the league. Uh. I think you could make 1349 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,400 Speaker 1: the argument of like, should Purty have just been like 1350 01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,720 Speaker 1: a three year, thirty million dollar quarterback? You know? And 1351 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 1: this gets to the question earlier about like why are 1352 01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:30,000 Speaker 1: we paying all these guys just because Mahomes and Josh 1353 01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 1: Allen and Lamar are made a lot? Why do you 1354 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: make a lot just because you're also a quarterback? Like 1355 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm a podcaster too, Should I make the same amount 1356 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,280 Speaker 1: as Joe Rogan? Probably not. I don't generate the same 1357 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 1: amount of views and listens to he does, But we're 1358 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,479 Speaker 1: both podcasters because that's well they're both quarterbacks. Well it's 1359 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: like okay, well one guy's way better than the other guy. 1360 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: It's like Jannis and some random dude on the bobcast 1361 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,599 Speaker 1: for both NBA players, who would you rather have? It's like, well, 1362 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,679 Speaker 1: I can't have you Honus does the guy I got, Well, 1363 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,559 Speaker 1: do you want to invest in this guy? Because if 1364 01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 1: you give this guy thirty million dollars a year, that's 1365 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a you problem. And I just think Purty 1366 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 1: was difficult because he definitely saved the forty nine ers. 1367 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: If brock Purty wasn't drafted and didn't come around, Kyle 1368 01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,640 Speaker 1: Shanahan John Lynch probably fired because Trey Lance wasn't just 1369 01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:19,960 Speaker 1: a whiff. He was a disaster and they would have 1370 01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,960 Speaker 1: been in major trouble. Perty saved their job so that 1371 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,720 Speaker 1: they feel obligated now, it's also easy for them to spend. 1372 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:30,040 Speaker 1: It's not their money, it's the owners. But I think 1373 01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:34,640 Speaker 1: the way you build your team like and this is 1374 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,360 Speaker 1: what happens when all these other stupid contracts. In fairness 1375 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,719 Speaker 1: to brock Purty, like I'm not signing less than Tua, 1376 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:44,240 Speaker 1: Like I'm not signing for anything less than Trevor Lawrence. 1377 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: And that's his argument. It's like the real estate comp argument. 1378 01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,360 Speaker 1: It's like, well, my neighbor's house sold for one million dollars. 1379 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,600 Speaker 1: I have a bigger floor plan, a nicer kitchen, and 1380 01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 1: a bigger backyard, So yeah, I'm putting my house on 1381 01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 1: the market for one point two million dollars, right, But 1382 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 1: you couldn't do that if like, well, my neighbor's house 1383 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: sold for three hundred and fifty K. It's like my 1384 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:07,679 Speaker 1: house is exact same. I'm putting it on the market 1385 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 1: for nine hundred K. Guess what's gonna happen. No one's 1386 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:15,120 Speaker 1: gonna call. Brock's agent had a pretty easy argument based 1387 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 1: on the Kyler Murray's, the tuas, the Trevor Lawrences, like 1388 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: even Jordan Love. Jordan Love got paid after eight good games, 1389 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: so it's all out of whack. Okay. Last question, longtime listener, 1390 01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,360 Speaker 1: love the pod major Major Fugazi. I was thinking about this. 1391 01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to bring back Fugazi Friday. It's kind 1392 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,720 Speaker 1: of got lost in the shuffle during football season, but 1393 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 1: I was we might do my top five NFL Fugazi's 1394 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 1: this year. Finishing the basement and have one room for 1395 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,759 Speaker 1: entertainment for a theater where I will primarily watch sports. 1396 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,680 Speaker 1: I want to install speakers in these rooms as well 1397 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 1: as a couple speakers on the outdoor patio. I'm not 1398 01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,680 Speaker 1: a sound nerd. Getting quotes from Best Buy for an 1399 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:03,200 Speaker 1: install in parts are twenty five to forty k. I'm 1400 01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,400 Speaker 1: still in shock. This ain't no Taylor Swift recording studio. 1401 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,680 Speaker 1: This is just a private home in the suburbs of 1402 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 1: the Midwest. Curious, what did you do for your home 1403 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: viewing room when you watch sports? How much did you spend? 1404 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:23,400 Speaker 1: Do you remember the brand of speakers? Right now, I'm 1405 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 1: actually building an outdoor office, which is not cheap because 1406 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:33,679 Speaker 1: it's basically it's called like studio shed, so it's gonna 1407 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 1: have power, it's gonna have air, it's gonna be just 1408 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 1: basically my home studio in the backyard, which is like 1409 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty square feet, and it's you know, 1410 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:46,920 Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, probably costs me like 1411 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:50,920 Speaker 1: fifty grand. But given that the room I'm in right now, 1412 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,840 Speaker 1: which has multiple TVs where I watch NFL football, where 1413 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,680 Speaker 1: I can watch like ten games at one time, it's like, well, 1414 01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a kid, so he's gonna get one 1415 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:01,840 Speaker 1: of the rooms, and this room can't just be a 1416 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,519 Speaker 1: wasted space for my office when we're gonna need help, 1417 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 1: right if moms come and people stay here. So I 1418 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 1: needed to utilize the outdoor. But it's just not cheap 1419 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,960 Speaker 1: at the same time, I don't have a choice. When 1420 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 1: I originally moved in this house, we remodeled it and 1421 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 1: I got an audio guy. I said, I basically want 1422 01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,120 Speaker 1: my house to be like it's twenty fifty, not two thousand, 1423 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,800 Speaker 1: and I want everything hardwired. I want the speakers all 1424 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,680 Speaker 1: over the place. And that was at the time, like 1425 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 1: twenty five k. It was an expensive endeavor. But all 1426 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 1: my you know, that's also my you know, from security 1427 01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:43,960 Speaker 1: system to all my TVs are on the same operation 1428 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:48,479 Speaker 1: to my speakers outdoor, like for the backyard and the pool, 1429 01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 1: I got speakers. But again, like I have no skill 1430 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,519 Speaker 1: to do any of that. It wasn't cheap. But I 1431 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,080 Speaker 1: will say this, the guy who's coming tomorrow because they're 1432 01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 1: building trenches today, they pour the concrete for the offer. 1433 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:02,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna build it within the next ten days, he's 1434 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 1: coming tomorrow to hardwire that like it is pretty important. 1435 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:10,680 Speaker 1: So for me, I view a couple of things. If 1436 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna overpay a little bit, let's just use your house. 1437 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 1: In general, it's like you end up spending a lot 1438 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: of time there. Right. There are things like for me, 1439 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: I could easily I could have any car I want, right, 1440 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 1: But I've been driving the same twenty eleven Tahoe for 1441 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,320 Speaker 1: a long time. I don't drive that many places for 1442 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 1: my job. My cars are relevant. The car's paid off. 1443 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't cost me anything. Like now, if you have 1444 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 1: a job where your sales guy front facing and the 1445 01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,000 Speaker 1: car is important, I don't blame you. I would spend 1446 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 1: a lot on a car too. But for me, I 1447 01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time at my house. My whole 1448 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 1: operation is built currently based on my house and the 1449 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: internet speed and streaming, like I have to go prices 1450 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: that are a little uncomfortable. I'm with you. Forty k 1451 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,519 Speaker 1: just for a man cave feels kind of crazy. Now, 1452 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,560 Speaker 1: if you have the money, here's the one thing I 1453 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 1: would recommend, cause I don't know what the difference are 1454 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,600 Speaker 1: between the types, and I have no clue. I just 1455 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: trusted my guy. If you are going to spend a 1456 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 1: lot of time in that room, Let's say you're gonna 1457 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:08,519 Speaker 1: live at your house for another ten years, so you 1458 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,799 Speaker 1: do this man cave up. Make it sweet. Spend thirty grand, 1459 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,840 Speaker 1: which relative to how much money you have, is a 1460 01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 1: shitload of money. If you spend a lot of time 1461 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,559 Speaker 1: in there, and it's pretty sweet. You're not really gonna 1462 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 1: complain and in ten years, Like, what's that money really 1463 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: gonna mean to you right now? If that's the difference 1464 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 1: of like sending your kid to college or feeding the 1465 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 1: family right or buying a car to get to work, Like, yeah, 1466 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 1: you can't do it. But if this is money that 1467 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,840 Speaker 1: you have to spend and you are gonna utilize it, 1468 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:45,000 Speaker 1: like I think sometimes we overthink things that we end 1469 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 1: up utilizing a lot and sometimes get cheap on them 1470 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,200 Speaker 1: and then regret it later, and then we do things 1471 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 1: that we're actually not gonna use that often, and we 1472 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 1: overspend on stuff. It's like what a waste? What a waste? 1473 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,559 Speaker 1: So I I think you just have to prioritize how 1474 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 1: important is this room to you? Because I'm with you. 1475 01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 1: The modern technology is pretty expensive. Now. The good thing 1476 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: is I get like a one hundred inch TV for 1477 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:19,480 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. You know, the television's relative to inflation 1478 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:24,799 Speaker 1: for most things are relatively cheap. But everything else, the wiring, 1479 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 1: the speakers, the setup, the labor is definitely not cheap. 1480 01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 1: So I would just try to gauge it one. If 1481 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,280 Speaker 1: you don't have the money, like don't you know, don't 1482 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 1: put this on credit or anything, if you have the 1483 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 1: ability to pay for cash, because that's a huge thing 1484 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,200 Speaker 1: with me, Like I will do these projects as long 1485 01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 1: as I have the cash. I'm not taking out like 1486 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 1: a heelock to fucking redo my pool that I end 1487 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,360 Speaker 1: up using ten times in a year, right, just because 1488 01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:54,720 Speaker 1: it looks cool. Right, if you have the cash and 1489 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 1: you want to do it, then do it. If not, 1490 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:59,559 Speaker 1: then don't do it. But also if you're gonna use 1491 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,559 Speaker 1: it a lot, you're like once I had this guy 1492 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,559 Speaker 1: hard wire in my house. I've never really complained about it. 1493 01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 1: It's been really good. Would I rather use that money 1494 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 1: somewhere else? Could I have tripled it if I would 1495 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: have put in the stock market three years ago? But 1496 01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: it's I've never complained about it since I've had my house. 1497 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I have this huge thing in a closet, 1498 01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: this box of just I don't even know what it's 1499 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,760 Speaker 1: like A it's a huge bunch of difference, uh, like 1500 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 1: receivers or something. I mean, I couldn't even if whenever 1501 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:33,880 Speaker 1: things go down, I just call him and he comes 1502 01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 1: over and he fixes it. It's incredible. So it's it's 1503 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,680 Speaker 1: money well spent. So I feel your pain. This this 1504 01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,040 Speaker 1: shit's expensive, but if you're gonna watch a lot of 1505 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 1: games down there in a couple of years, you and 1506 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 1: your buddies will not be complaining. I'll promise you that 1507 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:52,280 Speaker 2: The volume
