1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: They around the NFL podcast.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: Already missus the luck competition from the Chris Westling podcast studio.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: It's around the NFL. I am Dan Hansis. I have

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: heroes here, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler and now okay, now

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm starting to get the juice. We were placed on

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: a nice little card down a nice spot on the

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: old NFL media bench for the combine. So we're back

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: here in LA for that, and I felt that. But

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: now everyone's back from Indy and free agency is on

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: the horizon, franchise tag deadlines coming up in a couple

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: of days.

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: We are now.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: Greggie on the precipice of the true New League year

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: and everything that comes.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: With it, like as we are taping more you know,

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: veterans losing their job, which we don't like to see

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: just keep happening, or another none that are going to

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: change our lives or our rundown. But yeah, the combine

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 3: is a nice, like little jolt, and now here we go.

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: It is an odd event, I think, from like our

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 4: career perspective to be watching it states away on television

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: versus being there. And it was a different kind of

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 4: event this year with like crowds in the place going

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: literally crazy when you're used to it being kind of

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: like a golf match and so hushed in there. And

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 4: I did watch a lot of NFL Network. When you're there,

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: you can't really do it. And I'm not tooting our

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 4: own network's horn. I often don't go in the opposite direction.

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: I thought they put together the most entertaining combine broadcast

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: that they've ever achieved. Wow examples, I have a few

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: examples that I can share a little later in the

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: in the show.

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: But I thought that like DJ Rich like and the atmosphere,

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: did you hit your head this week? Unders No, No,

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: I know it.

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 4: Sounds like I wouldn't say that kind of thing, but

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: like they, it's I think that they the goal is

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: to not be day three of the draft, where you're

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: just getting doused in data that starts to lose meaning.

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: And I thought they brought a lot of interesting context

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: in their home paid off, but it was also a

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: ton of guests and coaches more than in the past.

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, not to be a company man, but that is

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: I think it is the best thing we do. When

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: I was when I was just getting started out in

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: this industry, and when they and they put on the Combine.

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: I thought that it was like a fun football broadcast

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: for like seven or eight hours. It was good back

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: when it was Mac. It's good with this new guy.

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: I think he's going to work out.

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Now you have to complany, Jeremiah. I'd love to be

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: part of it one day. Well, that's true.

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: By the way, I don't like its shining during our

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: ap since that doesn't make a lot of sense.

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: Had had we been at the combine, Greg, you would

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: have been in trouble because and this is I think

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: one of the cute little ticks about Greg. And we've

58
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: known Greg for a long time now, Mark, he's got

59
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: his binoculars. And then Super Bowl Sunday, when we're up

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: there in the auxiliary booth, he's got the binoculars and

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: he's all excited and it's it's cute.

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: It's adorable. Actually, I mean it's not an abnormal.

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: Kind of let's be honest, there's nobody else around us

64
00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: using them.

65
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: Well, that's because we're just by ourselves. No, I'm nowhere

66
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: in the auxiliary. There's no reason to be. You're not

67
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: gonna wait. Do you see a lot of people taking

68
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: out the binocular I don't know. I think it's a class.

69
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: Maybe that's more in the regular press box may journals.

70
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 4: Like the first game I ever went to, I brought

71
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: binoculars and it was incredible, And in these days I

72
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: could use binoculars.

73
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been where you're app It makes a big difference.

74
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: So big Funk, who's on a heater right now? Because

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: as we know, Funk behind the glass, Randy Shavez brought in, Uh.

76
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Got you your ticket ticket Gate? Oh superlticket? Did I'll

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: never forget that.

78
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

79
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: Now, Funk picks up Greggy's binoculars, which he left behind

80
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: on the set at the super Bowl over there in Vegas,

81
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: and Uh, if you want to say anything to Randy

82
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: on Mike, I feel like that, Like you're gonna play

83
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: cool because you don't want to act like you're too

84
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: attach your binoculars. But those things matter to you and

85
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: and it's Funks one that kept them in your life.

86
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: Randy is a great human being. He always cares about

87
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: us as humans. He cares about our pets as pets.

88
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: And I'm not surprised of all people that he.

89
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Turned that up on. I need that Funk.

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: There was a glow in Greg's eye when Funk more

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: like Hunk came in the room and brought the binocular.

92
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: Now that said, I mean I did pick it up

93
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: on the way to the Superdome for raving forty nine

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: ers Super Bowl Big Funk and I feel like the

95
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: performance level was going down that they thought maybe it

96
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: was time.

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: When I realized I had loss but knock.

98
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 3: Nothing left behind, it was like, why does Big Funk

99
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: want to do this?

100
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: And now I know, Big Bunk, Hey Funk, it's been

101
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: We gave you about a week and a half.

102
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: That's right, I think it over.

103
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: Those who listened a couple of weeks back know that

104
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: we throughout this idea. Shock Jocks a few years back

105
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: took a young and impressionable Big Funk and said, we're

106
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: gonna give you a thousand bucks and then return you're

107
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: gonna sell out your fandom and get a Chicago Bears

108
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: logo on your thigh even though you're a die hard

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: Packers fan. And we the around the NFL podcast anti

110
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: shock Jock or at least those shots Jucks decided to

111
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: give you an option to a crowdsource fundraiser to get

112
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: some type of work done on that tattoo, to alterate it,

113
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: maybe remove it.

114
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Your thoughts.

115
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: But it was the last time we left off you

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: big funk had the ball in your cork, so we

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: didn't want to push anything on you like those shot

118
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: jocks once upon a time.

119
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: Where where's your head at? Do you want to move

120
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: forward with a procedure or are we gonna leave it

121
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: as is? Go ahead?

122
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 6: You know, after lots of consideration, I've I think I've

123
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 6: determined that. I think I'm gonna keep it.

124
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna keep it up. Turn his music up.

125
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: He's going to keep it. It's hard of his hayst

126
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Or read. We all walk a path we didn't force.

127
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: We were we were, we were freedom giving on that front. Yeah,

128
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: that's totally understandable. I respect that.

129
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: What about the idea that someone had with the Ghostbusters

130
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: sort of circle over it with an X with a

131
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: new tattoo, So that's keeping it but making it a

132
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: little I'm down with that, totally change that's a new version,

133
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: are you okay?

134
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: So are you down to it justin or not?

135
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: Ghostbusters is my favorite movie? So well, well, you don't

136
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 6: have it removed.

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: I think what he's saying is he doesn't want to remove,

138
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: but this idea that we're going now anti bears and

139
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: putting the X through it.

140
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: You would be down with that. The alter You know

141
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: what's funny.

142
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 6: The longest time I've said that the one thing I

143
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 6: would do was write sucks underneath. Yeah, but that sounds

144
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 6: like like a thousand.

145
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Turn it up, turn up again? How do they ever

146
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: think about that? Changing his mind?

147
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: All that, and fair enough, he was not on this

148
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: this tweet that we saw from someone.

149
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: I'll show you the mock up. I think we're headed

150
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: all right.

151
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 6: Also, I I did love Dan because you you have

152
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 6: no tattoos, right, No, it was so funny because because

153
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 6: you you were throwing removal and ever one I've talked

154
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 6: to you that's ever gotten tattoom and says it's the

155
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 6: most painful thing I've heard that, and it's like incredibly expensive.

156
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 6: So I was like, I was like, I can't do removal.

157
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a pretty big tattoo. It's it's yeah, it's

158
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: it's sizable.

159
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: To to the credit of our and I'm not surprised

160
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: our listeners like on the glorious subreddit and check that,

161
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: check that environment out.

162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: It could be more pristine. It's uh.

163
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: They had hundreds of suggestions and ideas and concepts of

164
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: what he could do or how he could solve the

165
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: problem or alter it and.

166
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Say, all right, get us, get us a price quote right,

167
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: sounds good, getting that brass quote.

168
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Found the best deal of the work with someone. Wrap

169
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: your bowl?

170
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 7: All right?

171
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: Progress made? Are you mark? What is these looks? We're

172
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: we're doing important work here?

173
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: For what did? What did I do? You keep shooting

174
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: glances at Greg?

175
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: I like to look at Greg during the show on occasion,

176
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: I guess I missed it because.

177
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: It was not and I couldn't.

178
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: I couldn't be more excited about how the show was opened,

179
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: and I noted that the listeners were very involved, and

180
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: it's in a testament to them.

181
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

182
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: And I had to even have a suggestion maybe of

183
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: the tattoo artist. But we'll get to that off.

184
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: All right, we got a lot to get to.

185
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, with the combine in the rear view mirror,

186
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a guest coming by.

187
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Because you know, we do our best. We we do

188
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: our work, but we know where our limitations are.

189
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: And when you're looking at prospects coming into the league,

190
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: you want to get somebody that really is an expert

191
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: in this Realm, and Danny Kelly, who does great stuff

192
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: with the Ringer and has a big time podcast, fantasy podcast,

193
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: but really knows his stuff, and this Realm is gonna

194
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: come on a little bit later and talk with us

195
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: about what he saw some takeaways. We're going to share

196
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: some of our own takeaways from over the weekend.

197
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: But before that, let's do some news. Hey, good, Connor,

198
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: how are you good?

199
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we have no no, we just we won

200
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: a lot more games than what he predicted us.

201
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's for two. I haven't hanging up. I

202
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: haven't hang it up in more. Yeah. Oh no, oh

203
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: no ah.

204
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: That is from the Buccaneers social media and Connor or

205
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: you may recall one of his buzziest off season stories

206
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: he writes, is he I think he read he picks

207
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 2: every game and then has final record picks for every team,

208
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: which you know can go disastrously.

209
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, the Patriots going to like the AFC

210
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: title game. Well, he likes to do it. It likes

211
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of spice in there.

212
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: Yet, so obviously he was and I was with him,

213
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: maybe not two and fifteen with Connor, but I didn't

214
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: think the Bucks.

215
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: Were a playoff. You went under on their over under.

216
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Jason light remembers the general manager and what

217
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: you heard just there is a nice little combine.

218
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: That's the fun stuff.

219
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: At the comment you start mixing up the journals with

220
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: the coaches and the gms.

221
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Well.

222
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 4: Connor also famously, back when it was a quieter environment,

223
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: was in this, you know during the tryouts in the

224
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: forties down by the you know, right on the and

225
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: the edge of where the seats were, and made some

226
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: sort of an noise or or disturbance. Were like a

227
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: fill in the blank, like Timer guy from the Steelers,

228
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 4: I believe tourrounds, Like, dude, stop making noise. I'm trying

229
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: to lay concentrats like Connor's always uh, he's combinding it up.

230
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: I do remember that, and I do like I got

231
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: I have to preface this. Connor handled the whole interaction

232
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: well you should check it out on uh.

233
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: And like didn't have a bad vibe about it. He

234
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: kind of jabbed out, Yeah, it was a jab It

235
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: was all fun.

236
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: But he did tell the social department of the Buccaneers, hey,

237
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: let's come do this. That wasn't by mistake, So that

238
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: that was that was fun. It was next level. He

239
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 3: had a little idea for some content. Give give the

240
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: GM some credit for that, or the social team had

241
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: some idea for some content and they went and executed.

242
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: And Connor. Connor's big boy, you can hold his own

243
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: as well.

244
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: So I think I'm sure the interaction from that point

245
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: onward went well. So, you know what, everyone's competitive, like

246
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't get you know, in the sports even the

247
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: sports media, everyone's competitive.

248
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: But the GMS they.

249
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: Read all that stuff even when they say they don't, Yeah,

250
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 2: they at all, or it's brought to them or it

251
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: gets to them somehow, So you know, believe that in

252
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: his office.

253
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. All right, why don't we start with

254
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. That's good. How it worked out. Cool. Mike Evans,

255
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere.

256
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: He signs a two year, fifty two million dollar contract

257
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: which includes thirty five million in guaranteed money, to remain

258
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: with the Bucks, the only team that he has ever

259
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: known in the NFL. He's been ten years in the league,

260
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: and I thought about this is interesting to me.

261
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Ten years in the league for Mike Evans.

262
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: I've talked about Texas with Nick Wesley about this, and

263
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: he's like he's a superstars. Before last year, which was

264
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: a great season for Evans, and I said, I always

265
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: felt he was just a touch below. And I don't

266
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: know if he's ever been in all Pro Greg you

267
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: can now I know he's been a Pro bowler five times.

268
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 2: He's he has a historic start to his career ten years,

269
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: ten one thousand yard seasons, and sometimes it feels like,

270
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: despite his incredibly consistent, unique production, he flies a little

271
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: bit under the radar. But here is an example of

272
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: it paying off for him, this consistency. Maybe he doesn't

273
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: get brought up in the same breath as the greatest

274
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: wide receivers of his generation, Mark, but to get this

275
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: type of contract this far into his career, it doesn't

276
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: happen unless you do something truly historic, which is what

277
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: he's done. Doesn't matter who the quarterback is. He's done

278
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: it with Tom Brady, He's done it with Baker Mayfield.

279
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: He's done it with who's the guy with the really

280
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: long neck, remember that guy, Mike Glennon, Jameis Winston. He's

281
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: done it with them, all the good, the bad, the greatest,

282
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: and he's rewarded for that consistency with this deal.

283
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been QB proof and you know, I think

284
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: if you go and look at Baker Mayfield season and

285
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, major comeback campaign, a lot of it has

286
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: to do with Evans and how consistent Evans wants after

287
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 4: a bit of a strange campaign with Tom.

288
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Brady the year before.

289
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: And I think you're right if you look at the

290
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: age and if his production were hot and cold, or

291
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: he was an every other year type of guy, you

292
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: wonder if he floats off somewhere else.

293
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: But I think the Bucks it was, It's what needed

294
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: to happen.

295
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: I think also the second part of this is like Evans,

296
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 4: the Worlds reporting that Evan said he wanted to play

297
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: with the premier quarterback. He wanted to be on a

298
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: team that could compete. That's that is the case with

299
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 4: the Bucks as a competitive team. Baker Mayfield cannot float

300
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: away in this. It's almost like the Bucks and Jason

301
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: Light have to They can't lose the Baker Mayfield derby

302
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 4: here without another plan because Kyle Trask and John Woolford

303
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: are not premier quarterbacks.

304
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 3: Right and they don't have a high draft pick, and

305
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: you know they haven't been mentioned in the Kirk Cousins

306
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: sweep steak, so though they'd make a little sense, I

307
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 3: think Baker's most likely out come. We'll get to that

308
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: twenty six million dollars. This wide receiver market is not

309
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: coming down. I've heard it posited by people that I

310
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: usually agree with all the time that says, like all

311
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: these receivers coming into the league, like it always works,

312
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: and you know, there's so many great wide receivers, like

313
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: this wide receiver mark is going to cool down. It's like, no,

314
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: there's actually still not enough. I can think of so

315
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: many teams where they don't have enough wide receivers. Passing

316
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: game is the most important. Offense is the most important.

317
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: It's gonna go up, up and up. I was wrong.

318
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: He was second team All Pro two different times.

319
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: This guy.

320
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: Now they've added a slot receiver too, which is nice.

321
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: So six guys get it. And I like that to

322
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: his second team two times, twenty sixteen, twenty twenty three.

323
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: Incredible consistency.

324
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: I know, like Fantasy points isn't like the best way

325
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 3: to measure receivers, but I.

326
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: Think it does that point something.

327
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: Now if you give him half point per reception yards touchdowns,

328
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: He's been top fifteen in Fantasy eight out of his

329
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: out of his ten years, and the other two he

330
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: was top twenty five.

331
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Like that.

332
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: It's just ridiculous. That's a top fifteen receiver. But I

333
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: give him credit. A lot of players say they want

334
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: to stay at one place, they want to do this

335
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: or that. I think I believe he took a somewhat

336
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: of a hometown discount here to stay. He told his agent,

337
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: just get the deal done with Tampa. At this point,

338
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: I think he would have gotten more guaranteed money. The

339
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,359
Speaker 3: second year is not fully guaranteed. It's like half guaranteed.

340
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: Like I think if he went out there, he would

341
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: have made even more. Now how much more. It probably

342
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: would have been like that much more. But he's putting

343
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: his money where his mouth is. I think he said, like,

344
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: just get the best possible deal with Tampa. I don't

345
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: want to deal with it. And credit to him that

346
00:14:59,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: that's smart.

347
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, being comfortable and where he lives with his family,

348
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: and then the fan base that loves him and just

349
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: the familiarity of that team.

350
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: That all makes sense. It's a very human decision, all right.

351
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of Baker NFL Networks, James Palmer Bud believes the

352
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: Falcons are a quote dark Horse to sign Baker Mayfield.

353
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: So Baker is not getting the franchise tag from the Bucks.

354
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: That deadline's Thursday. Correct, it's Tuesday, Tuesday tomorrow.

355
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: We'll be backing update at next show, so don't expect that.

356
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: So Baker abs in a similar surprise deal like we

357
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: just saw with Evans, could hit the open market, and

358
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: the Falcons are connected to a bunch of guys greg

359
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: but Baker is one of them, and he would he

360
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: would represent an upgrade over what they had last year.

361
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: I still think they need to swing a little bigger

362
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: after the last few years how they've handled the quarterback position.

363
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: But it's good for Baker. He's got a market.

364
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: I keep seeing different reporters have different variations of these

365
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: Baker reports, which is interesting coming out of Indianapolis. The

366
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: agent's doing his work, but I don't just dispute it.

367
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah said the Patriots might be in on Baker.

368
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: Jeremy Fowler threw out there that the Falcons are going

369
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: to get one of these guys, basically Cousins, Fields or Baker,

370
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: and it's going to be is going to end up

371
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: being one of these three. And so now Tampa who

372
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: I think is still the most likely outcome for Baker

373
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: has competition and he's going to cost a lot. And

374
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: I was wrong, I believe to say a month and

375
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: a half ago that I didn't think he was going

376
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: to get the geno type contract. If he's got multiple

377
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: teams bidding on him to become a starter, he is

378
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: getting the geno type contract.

379
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: Maybe a little more, we'll see. I think that'll be

380
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: about what he gets.

381
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that it just seems logical and

382
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: clear that Cousins is the first chip to fall and

383
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: then and Baker has to be seen by someone like

384
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 4: Atlanta as like a very solid fallback option versus having

385
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 4: no option.

386
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't think unless the Bucks just get it done first.

387
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: It adds urgency to what Tampa's how they got a

388
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: organized and I think that that's why the Evan thing's happened,

389
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: Like Baker could be next.

390
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: I do think in New England.

391
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: It's interesting that Alex van Pelt, who I think was

392
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: a low wattage higher his offensive coordinator, worked with Baker

393
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 4: in Cleveland and like knows.

394
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Him very well.

395
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: It has to be behind the scenes, you know, suggesting

396
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: this guy can do it.

397
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: Yes, bring Baker to New England there. I don't wow that.

398
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: I know they have one hundred million dollars in Casspae,

399
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: So get the guy when he's on the one year,

400
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: three million dollar contract, not the next thing.

401
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: It's just sart of obvious. Right when I woke up

402
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: this morning, I was feeling pretty dangerous, all right.

403
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: So Yes Graziano of ESPN and also Jeremy Fowler put

404
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: out an article this morning sharing all their kind of

405
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: whispers and all the conversations they heard that Greg just

406
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: shared one of those nugs about the Falcons game plan

407
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: with the veteran quarterback. Grazian also reported in that piece

408
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: that the quote top QB solution for the Falcons is

409
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins should he reach for free agency. And the

410
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: Cousin's free agency situation is very interesting because the Vikings,

411
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: from what you're hearing out there, do want him back,

412
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 2: but they also have a very complex or they have

413
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: a vision of how they want to handle this offseason.

414
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: And number one is Justin Jefferson. And if top wide

415
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: receivers beneath Jefferson are getting like twenty five to twenty

416
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: eight million, you know, Justin Jefferson's gonna get thirty to

417
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: thirty five, right, So Kirk Cousins has to agree to

418
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 2: a deal that fits within the framework of their ability

419
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: to really build a team around Cousins and Jefferson without

420
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: maxing everything out.

421
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: So they're kind of in a tough spot.

422
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: But Cousins, ever the great businessman, Mark doesn't sound like

423
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: he's looking to give any type of homecount hometown discount

424
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: to Minnesota, which means it could get to the point

425
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: where he is fielding offers and he's going to get

426
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: paid either way.

427
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: Again, a lot of them. He find.

428
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 4: He has a special talent to hit the market at

429
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 4: a time that seems to benefit him in many many ways.

430
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: I mean, and like Evans, consistently produce and put himself in.

431
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: A gain leverage.

432
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: I think I think that people I think Cousins is

433
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 4: very well liked throughout the league. You keep here that

434
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 4: and I think that there are, more so than in

435
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: years past, a higher belief that he could come in

436
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 4: and take a Falcons team and take them to the

437
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 4: next level. The reporting from Graziano was also that Cousins

438
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: has a very specific idea on quotes about what he

439
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: wants and that the Vikings so far have been unwilling

440
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 4: to match it. I do think Kevin O'Connell on NFL Network,

441
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: it came out very strongly suggesting like I think we're

442
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 4: gonna get I think we can get this done. Like

443
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 4: I think that Kevin O'Connell came to Minnesota largely because

444
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 4: of Kirk Cousins and is a huge proponent. And if

445
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 4: you're the Vikings, I know it's been a bit of

446
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: a rebuild in terms of like terms of.

447
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: Their cap and stuff.

448
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: It's like you lose Kirk Cousins, you're the team suddenly

449
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: wondering what is happening at the most important position.

450
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: It's hard to know which one, you know, which of

451
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: these reports to like put a lot of stock in it,

452
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: But I thought this one was worth it because hearing

453
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: that about the Falcons, it actually does make sense. I

454
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 3: just there's something about this whole thing with the Vikings

455
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: that to me, I feel like they're gonna be okay,

456
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: letting Kirk walk. If some team actually blows the doors

457
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: up in a huge contract, and I think that could

458
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: be the Falcons, they are the team that makes sense.

459
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: And you're hearing all this stuff that the dustin Fields

460
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 3: market isn't that great that he's kind of going to

461
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: be the backup plan maybe for a lot of these teams,

462
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: and the Falcons and maybe the Broncos, although they haven't

463
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: been mentioned to me, do feel like the one team

464
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: that could just put the money on the table and

465
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: that Minnesota's like, all right, we'll see you. We'll find

466
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 3: out in a week. It'll probably be about one week

467
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: from this time on Monday that we know.

468
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: I'd be curious that maybe the something to check out

469
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: ahead of next show. But how many teams currently have

470
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: the setup and are successful teams with a quarterback on

471
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: a top tier salary and a wide receiver on a

472
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: top tier salary. That's so much of your cap tied

473
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: up to two guys and it makes it very difficult

474
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: to build a balanced roster.

475
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 4: One little note that not too long ago today on

476
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 4: the Pat McAfee show, Schefter also mentioned that maybe the

477
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 4: Commanders could jump in on the Kirk Cousins thing. They're

478
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: kind of open where they sit, They're kind of open

479
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: taking a couple of different.

480
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: The ultimate like we're no longer Dan Snyder move and

481
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: we're just a new franchise.

482
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Cowboys, they're another one of those teams. See

483
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: they're trying to figure it out. They got Dak making

484
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: all this money, they got Ceedee Lamb's contract coming up,

485
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: and then they go, all right, we got to have

486
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: a functional defense and Mike oh Parsons and then we've

487
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: got to get the offensive tackles taking care of one

488
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: of them. Tyron Smith, according to rap Sheet, is quote

489
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: unlikely to return to the Cowboys next season. And I

490
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: think that's less about his ability. Even though he's thirty three,

491
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: he's still very competent tackle. But it's all about Greg

492
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: gave that big picture with them and all the money

493
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: that they're they have to dole out. Are you gonna

494
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: really give a top of the market left tackle salary

495
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: to Tyron Smith when you got the QB and the

496
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: linebacker and the wide receiver all hanging out.

497
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: There, right.

498
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: I think that's rap Sheet hearing through the grapevine what

499
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: Tyron Smith's market was gonna be at the combine, and

500
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: the Cowboys realized, like, oh, we actually got him to

501
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: take a pay cut last year because he kept getting hurt,

502
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: and now he's gonna make twenty million dollars a year

503
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: whatever it is, and we're just out and he he's

504
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: hitting free agency at a perfect time. I mean, any

505
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: tackle would be, but there's literally no one else like

506
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: Michael Owenu who's bounced around guard and tackle. Is a

507
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: nice young player, but like there aren't any good like

508
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: high level starting left tackles.

509
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: So he is here.

510
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: He must know already he has a contract offers from

511
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: certain teams and the Cowboys.

512
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: And certain It's gotta be a bit of a tough

513
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 4: pill to swallow because the vibe I get from everything

514
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: Dallas is saying and that's just Jerry Jones basically is

515
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 4: like it is just it's kind of a super Bowl

516
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 4: or Bust all over again, and like these players are

517
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 4: not easy to replace. Although it isn't pretty interesting. Draft

518
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: class at tackle, guard and other line.

519
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: Is very deep.

520
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: We'll get to that, but yeah, it's the tackles and

521
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: the receivers, which they say are the deepest here.

522
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: Uh buying to us In other news, you know how

523
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: as well, Mike Darren Waller. Weird career for Darren Waller,

524
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 2: who is currently with the Giants after his first season

525
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: went in a disappointing injury riddled manner. You could about

526
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: the last few seasons for Waller after he was briefly

527
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: one of the most productive tight ends in football.

528
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: There is a report out there.

529
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: There was previously a report out there that Darren Waller,

530
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: despite being I think he's run thirty or thirty one

531
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: and thirty, he's turning thirty two. He's thirty one now,

532
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: I believe, And there was a report that he was

533
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: indeed coming back to the Giants for another season. But

534
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 2: now an update to that report in the New York

535
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 2: Post is that Waller is still undecided on whether he

536
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: will continue playing or opt to retire. Giants to give

537
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: up a third round pick mark for Waller, and I'm

538
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: guessing they wish they didn't do that.

539
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean last offseason for the Giants was

540
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 4: riddled with curious decisions coming off a Coach of the

541
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: Year campaign.

542
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: It's just like they hurt themselves in multiple ways.

543
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 4: I think we kept saying that the X factor for

544
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 4: New York was like which version of Waller you get?

545
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 4: He had his lowest yards per reception of his entire career,

546
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: and I think that offense also, you know, went through

547
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: quarterback hell, and I think him not being around next

548
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: season would not change their fortune.

549
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean twenty twenty is hindsight too, right, like it

550
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 2: it made sense when they made the trade I used

551
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: to talk about all last summer.

552
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: I never got a.

553
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: Great vite about Darren Waller and the Giants for some reason, right,

554
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: And sure enough it didn't go well.

555
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: But I feel like you.

556
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: Didn't get a great vibe from him when he came

557
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: in to do the broadcasting boot camp.

558
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: He seems either a wandering spirit a bit, but I

559
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: think that it almost is.

560
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: I don't think that performance is informative of what's going

561
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: on here, but if a media yeah, but if I'm

562
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: hearing that he's not that into playing next year, and

563
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 3: it might be a physical thing too. I'm surprised that

564
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: the Giants have been publicly saying like, oh no, we

565
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: want them, We're keeping him, we're not cutting them, because

566
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 3: they would actually say with a post June first cut,

567
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: eleven point six million dollars in cap savings. But it

568
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: goes back to a cliche I say at this time

569
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 3: of year, which is like, it's a lot easier to

570
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: find cap space than is good players, and I guess

571
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: they just feel like they really need some good players.

572
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: But if he's not that into I don't know.

573
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Maybe lets and once you know this, this happens in

574
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: every sport, Like he got he got the big contract,

575
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: and he's never been close to the same guy. He's

576
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: been hurt a lot too, and there's been questions about

577
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: his desire and you.

578
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Know it's it's not somebody you typically want to go

579
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: to war with.

580
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 4: Oh, I would like to know that, like the actual

581
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: health situation though, because that could be driving most of this.

582
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: If you just don't feel like you can be what

583
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: you were, it's.

584
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: A lot of soft tissue injuries. I feel like that

585
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 2: he's I mean he felt with yeah, to pass on.

586
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: Eleven twelve million dollars just because you're done that, Uh,

587
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 3: that says a lot.

588
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, you seemed to pass on mark and ized wisdom

589
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: in that conference room, but we.

590
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Also had to you know, course correct our own presentation.

591
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: Between not quite worth twelve million dollars. Though maybe you're

592
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 3: the type of guy that that tweeted out is like

593
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 3: we would you rather have one million dollars or one

594
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: hour to pick jay z brain? Jay Z's brain, I'm

595
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: taking the hour. It's like, no, take the money.

596
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: It was around the second seminar presentation where I did

597
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: consider jumping out the window.

598
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: That's what I recall.

599
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 4: You were put through a test, and you know Greg Escape,

600
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 4: Scott Freed, where were you on.

601
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: Skipping through Japan holiday, skipping through Tokyo hand in hand

602
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: with his beautiful wife in other news?

603
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I don't know what's going on

604
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: in Tokyo with Greg.

605
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: Now that I think that time, I think it was Hawaii.

606
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: I think it was Hawaii. But yeah, that could be wrong.

607
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones is a Packer's running back. He's twenty nine

608
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: years old. Yeah, good and bad, twenty twenty three, but overall,

609
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: you know, a very productive player in his time with

610
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: the team. If he is going to stay with the Packers,

611
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: it's very likely he is going to.

612
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: They need to take a pay cut for what it's worth.

613
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: Matt Schneinman reported that Bryan Glutagans, the general manager, said

614
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: the team quote absolutely expects Rogers to be there.

615
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: And that makes sense to me because look at the

616
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Jones to be there.

617
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: Expects Aaron Jones to be there, because look at this,

618
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: look at the running back market, look at all these

619
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 2: big names in free agency, and you kind of get

620
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: the feeling outside of maybe Barkley.

621
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: They're all going to struggle to get the money they want.

622
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: So Jones is not going to want to re enter

623
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 2: that phrase, want to play out his contract because a

624
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: four year, forty eight million dollar deal he signed in

625
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one.

626
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: He's entering the final year.

627
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: So even with the haircut, probably going to do a

628
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: lot better than he would do on the open mark.

629
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 3: That's something that's changed in just the last few years

630
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: where if you saw the report that they will cut

631
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 3: him if he doesn't take a pay cut, that guy

632
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: almost always used to get cut, and now like Joe

633
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 3: Mixon is a good example last year. Now when those

634
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: reports come out, and especially at running back, you're probably

635
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: right if he can make more with them.

636
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: The Milwaukee Journal sent and also reported that they're not

637
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 4: looking to bring back AJ Dillon. So if Jones goes,

638
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: AJ Dillon goes, it's not the greatest draft for running

639
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 4: backs by any stretch.

640
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: Like that's going to look very different.

641
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 4: I think Jones when he was on the field, they

642
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: were much better offense.

643
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: He finished very strong.

644
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break and we'll continue through

645
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: the news.

646
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: All right, we're back in other news.

647
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers have found their new defensive coordinator.

648
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: It is an in house move and it is Nick

649
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 2: Sorenson who will be promoted. He was the team's defensive

650
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: pass game specialist and nickel cornerback's coach. He takes over

651
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: for Steve Wilkes, who was dismissed last month. They also

652
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: are hiring former Chargers coach Brandon Staley as an assistant

653
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: head coach. So you're going to two head monster this thing,

654
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: I guess Mark with Staley behind Sorenson.

655
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: Well, so Staley is replacing essentially the same position by

656
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 4: another ex Chargers coach, Anthony Lynn, who left to go

657
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: to the Commanders.

658
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: I think this just is what happened.

659
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 4: This is one of the least surprising hires in terms

660
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: of Kyle Shanahan deciding I'm absolutely picking from my in

661
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: house crew because you know, Wilkes it didn't work, and

662
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: I think a lot of it seemed like the energy

663
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: around it that just not seeing an eye to eye

664
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 4: and maybe the way the Niners want to do things.

665
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: Like Sorenson, who is a longtime tea Carrol protege underneath

666
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 4: you know it for years ago, has been with San

667
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 4: Francisco for a while.

668
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: He's done a lot different things as a player and

669
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: a coach, and it's like.

670
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: Cool makes some juice, sye the juicy side of this.

671
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: In that same Graziano Fowler right up. Sources say the

672
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers explored the possibility of hiring Steve Spagnolo

673
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: away from the Chiefs for their DC position shortly after

674
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: their loss to Kansas City in the Super Bowl. But

675
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: then the Chiefs very quietly gave Spags a new deal

676
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: that is reportedly worth five million wow, which is big

677
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 2: wop for a coordinator, but interesting that the old if

678
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: you can't beat him, join a move was on the

679
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: radar for Lynch and Shanna.

680
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 1: Well they helped get him paid. Nothing wrong with that.

681
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: He's got gotta be the highest paid coordinator in NFL history,

682
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: which which.

683
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: Quinn I thought was getting what three or four last year,

684
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: and that was said to.

685
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: Be It would make sense if someone was going to

686
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 3: be it would be the guy coming off two straight

687
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: Super Bowl titles and he's.

688
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: Not going to get a job like a head coaching job. Yeah,

689
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: you better pay him like that.

690
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: In other news, let's spin through this all right, Greg

691
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 2: set it up. The competition committee, Oh my gosh, they

692
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: are proposing some dramatic changes to the kickoff. We've talked

693
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: about the kickoff and how it's kind of a wasted

694
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: play right now, Greg, you talked about getting rid of

695
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: it entirely.

696
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think so, Greg. I think it's football.

697
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: It's got to be involved somehow. What is this pitch?

698
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: What is this idea to fix the play?

699
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: We'll like dive into this more in late March. But

700
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: the fact that the Competition committee is who's putting up there.

701
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: There's two different ways rules can get suggested. One a

702
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 3: team can just suggest it and it's like, Okay, that's

703
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 3: an idea. We'll see everyone's going to vote for it.

704
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: They have this idea of only doing on side kicks

705
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: if you're trailing in the fourth court, Like, we'll see

706
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: if that happens. That's a team because when it's from

707
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: the competition COMMUTEE, they're already into it. They're trying to

708
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: make it happen. In the XFL model, who was which

709
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: was created by former TNF Recap guest Sam Schwarztein who's

710
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: on Amazon Prime as the next Gen stets guy, and

711
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: I had no idea. He created the rule book for

712
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: the x L back in the day, which is kind

713
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: of crazy for me.

714
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: He had the rule where the balls at the fifty

715
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: yard line and people sprint from opposite ends.

716
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: So that's that is essentially the rule the ACL destroyer.

717
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: No not not that the kicker lines up at his

718
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 3: own thirty yard line and ten members of the kickoff

719
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: team line up at the opponent's thirty five, five yards

720
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: away from the returning team's block. Only the kicker and

721
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: one returner allowed to move before the ball is that.

722
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 3: You kind of just got to watch it to see

723
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: it's different. But it would result in a lot more kickoffs.

724
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: In fact, I think the majority of kickoffs would be

725
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: returned because otherwise it goes to the thirty five.

726
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: Which is great. I don't I don't. I need to

727
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: study this one. Maybe they, but it seems to be

728
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: messing with you a little bit. But maybe they.

729
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: Maybe this was prompted to some degree by your calls

730
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 4: for it just to disappear entirely during our supo.

731
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: That's what did it. Good way to look at it.

732
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: You know, Bill Belichick was with EGO and he was like,

733
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: either do it or kill it.

734
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: That was that was his idea, do it or kill it.

735
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: Quick cuts and then we gotta get it going here.

736
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: The Vikings cut ties with Alexander Madison. They're running back,

737
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: so a year after Davin Couko is now Madison is

738
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: out the door as well. The Patriots say goodbye again

739
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: to J. C. Jackson, whose career has turned into a

740
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: bit of an odyssey. Washington cuts ties with Logan Thomas

741
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: Charles Leno, The Eagles say goodbye to Buyard Kevin Byard,

742
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: and the Saints cut safety Marcus May and one other

743
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: transaction Jason Kelsey, yes indeed, is retiring the Eagles veteran center,

744
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: a mainstay as stalwart and now a media star. We'll

745
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: be able to focus on other endeavors, also our competition.

746
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: We got the old iHeart Radio Podcast Awards coming up

747
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: next week in Austin, Texas. Will be there and they

748
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: are in the same category as US, which is troubling

749
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: with all this swift, little bit troubling.

750
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: But right now he's coming off maybe the little bit

751
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: of nuclear hot right now. Right you said, Mark was

752
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: maybe the best retirement speech you've ever seen.

753
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 4: It was the longest, and I so I saw many

754
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: portions of it walking around the building here.

755
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: I'd thought he did a great job. All right, let's

756
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: listen times.

757
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 5: Why did I choose football? What drew me to the game?

758
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: And I never have an answer that gets it right.

759
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 5: The best way I can explain it is what draws

760
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 5: you to your favorite song, your favorite book. It's what

761
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 5: it makes you feel. The seriousness of it, the intensity

762
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: of it. Stepping on the field was the most alive

763
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 5: and free I had ever felt. There was a visceral

764
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 5: feeling with football, and like any other sport, the hairs

765
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: on my arms would stand up. I get hit somebody,

766
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 5: run around like a crazy lunatic, and then get told

767
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 5: good job. I love football.

768
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: Nice. I feel like Wes would have loved that. Also.

769
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: I like they show up in a sleeveless T shirt.

770
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: You know some guys wear that's done up, but he's

771
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: that's on brand. That's a that's a big some big

772
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: shoes to fill.

773
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: Well, little game nugget like the tush push is not

774
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: going to be the same without.

775
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that would Hires get him. Yeah, that's big.

776
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: I mean he he kind of changed the game in

777
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: terms of like I think teams look for more Jason

778
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 3: Kelsey types at center. The quickness of the athleticism he's

779
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: going to wind up being a Hall of Fame. Where

780
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: he talked about how when essentially the Chip Kelly years,

781
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: he almost thought he was going to get out. He

782
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 3: was of Philadelphia, his his coach believed in him.

783
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: We do.

784
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 3: I think Eric also have him talking about the most

785
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 3: famous play in Eagles history.

786
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 5: I won't forget Nick Foles having the game of his

787
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 5: life on the biggest stage possible and the biggest on

788
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: the team, going up to Doug Peterson and asking for

789
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 5: the Philly Special and Doug Peterson having the biggest balls

790
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 5: in the stadium.

791
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: Do it say it.

792
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 5: To say, yeah, let's do it.

793
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: That's nice.

794
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: One of the one of the most memorable plays in

795
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 2: Super Bowl history, the most, like second most, the most

796
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: top ten number one.

797
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: It is kind of crazy. How you lost that on

798
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: the sandwich is so close years ago.

799
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 4: If you would have said top ten, it's not crazy,

800
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 4: it's absurd.

801
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 2: If only it wasn't horseshoes, you know, then you would

802
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 2: have had.

803
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: It the most influential super Bowl play of all time.

804
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's just silly. That's incredible. It's not silly,

805
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: but it meant something to that man.

806
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: They look how much it meant, I do like that

807
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: a man sobbing there talking about balls and big that's

808
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: a great like a lot of likes breaks with tears

809
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 2: in your eyes talking about big dicks and balls.

810
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: That's that is very unbrand for that man. Something for everyone.

811
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 3: No one's hit hit their retirement like on this sort

812
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: of momentum, I feel like since Michael Straighthand did it well,

813
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: Like if you had told me it's going to become

814
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: like a monster media star for most of this, I

815
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 3: wouldn't have.

816
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: Romo, but his had to go out on topic.

817
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 3: Playing was kind of very depressing. He broke his back.

818
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 3: It's funny it's Kelsey.

819
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Well.

820
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: I was gonna say went out on a title, and

821
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: I said Kelsey did too. But no, like no, he

822
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: became he kind of became a member of the Chiefs

823
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: in the last like three weeks of the season. So

824
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: I get like, I'll never forget. I think we're together,

825
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: all three of us. I think we're together. When Super

826
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: Bowl Sunday morning, when he came, we were the hotel.

827
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: He came out of the elevator and he was wearing

828
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: a onesie. It was like overall's onesie Chiefs logos all

829
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: over it and we saw him exit out the doors

830
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 2: and it really was like a massive celebrity with everybody

831
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: with their phones out and handlers like taking him.

832
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: To the car. Yes he is, He's going to do.

833
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: Okay, probably probably defeat us in the iHeart Awards, but

834
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: you never know.

835
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: I never know.

836
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: He replaces Kirk kurb Street on Amazon. I think that

837
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: has been suggested. Did one more clip from.

838
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 4: The Kelsey pressor it's just because this guy was a

839
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 4: pretty big talking point on the podcast for a bit

840
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,840

Speaker 1: They just say, can I have?

850
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: And I offered a little uh to that point, a

851
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 2: little unsolicited advice.

852
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: Just hire Big Dom as the coach.

853
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: If everyone loves this guy so much, Yeah, hire him

854
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: as the coach. Build up with good assistant staff around

855
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: him to help him with the ex's and o's and

856
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: be done with it. Get Sirianni out of the building.

857
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: Can't even control himself without Big Dom there, Sirioni. It

858
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: is losing the pr contest day by day and this.

859
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: Christ all right and finally in the news.

860
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: This is a sad item to end it on, but

861
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 2: definitely something we should talk about. Award winning ESPN NFL

862
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: reporter Chris Mortensen passed away on Sunday at the age

863
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: of seventy two.

864
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: Really sad. This is someone who.

865
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 2: Battled stage four throat cancer in twenty sixteen, which you know,

866
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: cancer obviously is something that's very close to everyone us

867
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 2: as well.

868
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: West battle the sophageal cancer a battle.

869
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 2: Ultimately, he's no longer with us, and Mortensen or mort

870
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: Is everyone knew him in the famous mort Report that

871
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: I remember watching so many, so many mort reports when

872
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: he was the kind of insider in the nineties and

873
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: into the two thousands and then hung around. He died

874
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: suddenly on Sunday morning, and you could the way all

875
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: the tributes Mark poured out toward Mortenson.

876
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: He was a he was a different dude.

877
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: Because this, this business, especially the insider business, is kind

878
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: of a nasty one oft times, and it's competitive and

879
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 2: his cutthroats anything in this industry. And Mortensen was the

880
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: guy who was known to help people along the way

881
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: and how do you do this job as a national reporter,

882
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 2: how to get your foot in the door, how to succeed.

883
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: So even while the young ones were coming up, he

884
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: never stopped being a class act.

885
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: So he's a widely respected journalist.

886
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: He actually grew up right in the backyard here in Torrents,

887
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: I believe, but also someone who did it the right

888
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 2: way in terms of helping younger reporters coming up.

889
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: And it's really sad to see him go so soon.

890
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's when you hear someone described uniformly

891
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: by people that knew him very well, people that worked

892
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 4: with him, people that just came into contact with him.

893
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: It's like he was the gentle insider. I think that

894
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 4: game now seems a little it's cutthroat. It swallows up

895
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 4: your personal life, your time, and Mortenson always had a

896
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: different kind of vibe to him. And like I think

897
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 4: also he experienced the insider job at a time when

898
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: pregame shows actually mattered, When like he'd come on Sunday

899
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 4: morning and give you news that no one else had.

900
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 4: Now it's like a lot of rehashing of stuff that

901
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 4: we heard on Wednesday, Thursday riding. It's like he was

902
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 4: a pre Twitter but in Twitter too, but like he

903
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 4: operated as this person who brought incredible context information to

904
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 4: the football experience.

905
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Yeah he was.

906
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: He was doing it back when when it was like

907
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 3: John Clayton and Len Path Gareley at ESPN, and then

908
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 3: I remember when they brought in Schefter and in theory

909
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: Schefter would be like going on his turf and instead

910
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 3: they made this great tandem.

911
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: And always just a kind man. He was really nice.

912
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: He reached out to me a handful of times when

913
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 3: I when I started at Pro Football Talk, we would

914
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: have conversations and, like people said, like very generous and

915
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: warm and helpful, just like seeing someone coming up in

916
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 3: the business unprompted. And and he I know he reached

917
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: out to West too when Wes was going through his

918
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: battle and they had that to share, and so I

919
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: think just on a on a human level. I also

920
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 3: remember he reached out to Takeisha after after West died,

921
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 3: so so rest in peace.

922
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: He was a classic guy.

923
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: He he got Daniel Jeremiah, you know, started in this

924
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 3: business too, and it was it was tough see and

925
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 3: DJ deal with that on live TV and everything, and

926
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 3: they were extremely close.

927
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: So great great man, Rest in peace, Chris Mornson.

Speaker 2: unquote cool Dan, and she rubber stamped it. But still

943
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: to this day, my family calls me, Danny, do you

944
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 2: have other people?

945
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: Are you Dan to anyone? Are you a Daniel on he?

946
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: Or is all Danny all the time. Let's get into it.

947
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of went the opposite direction from you.

948
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 7: From eighty two to high school, I was Daniel, so

949
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 7: like my parents still call me Daniel, and high school

950
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 7: I decided I want to be Dan. So a lot

951
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 7: of my high school friends that from the era still

952
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 7: call me Dan. And then kind of as a bit,

953
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 7: I decided to have everyone start calling me Danny, and

954
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 7: it just kind of stuck.

955
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 3: What do you mean as a bit, because yeah, this

956
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: is your name, this is your professional name.

957
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: It's the only name I say. You hang on.

958
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: You've been around on the interwabits, but you've been Danny

959
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: Kelly the whole time.

960
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 2: But Greg, I mean right, there's there's been a lot

961
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: of ink spilled and audio spilled out from microphones about

962
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: Triple G and Greg and all the Greg culture. Like

963
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 2: you have to let him be on his Danny path

964
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: like and understand that it's its own thing.

965
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I don't get the bit parts.

966
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: I will say that in the year two thousand and

967
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: this whole segment is about this name, So everybody just

968
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 2: dig in.

969
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

970
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: In two thousand, I worked at TGI Fridays before I

971
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 2: went away to college, and there were three Dans and

972
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 2: I went to Danny. Well just for that summer, and

973
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it was it was special. It made

974
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: me consider staying with it, but ultimately I cowered out.

975
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: And you are the.

976
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: Danny of the NFL media industry, So thank you for

977
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: joining us.

978
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: Buddy. Let's talk a little.

979
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: The combine is over, we are spinning forward. What is

980
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: you know, a big picture thought coming out of this

981
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: weekend for you, Danny Kelly.

982
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 7: I think, first of all, a lot of guys are

983
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 7: very fast. Obviously this is what you talk about in

984
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 7: the combine, but it was especially fast combined for receivers,

985
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 7: running backs, offensive linemen. There's a lot of really really

986
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 7: good athletes. I think in general, players are maybe just

987
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 7: starting to get much better at these combine tests. Like

988
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 7: the training is a lot better these days. Maybe the

989
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 7: athletes are just better too, because because of all the

990
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 7: training involved in you know, athletics and sports, so very

991
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 7: fast players at the combine. I know this, I'm breaking

992
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 7: news here, this is exciting.

993
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned that at the drop the wide receiver

994
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 3: day stands out maybe the most because you know, for

995
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 3: our our purposes, maybe the most interesting.

996
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 2: Like you've receivers fast, okay at the combine.

997
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: Like you know, the two deepest positions in this draft.

998
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: And you know, we haven't talked a lot of drafts,

999
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: so I feel like we're we're starting out on this show.

1000
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: But but for.

1001
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: Our listeners to the two of the deepest positions are

1002
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 3: tackle and wide receiver. There's sort of a discussion which

1003
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: position gets more in the first round. It could be

1004
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 3: upwards of eight to ten for either position, which is

1005
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: which is crazy. But one thing I noticed Danny, I

1006
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: heard Josh Norris, our friend talk about this too, is

1007
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: like all these receivers are are big, like it was

1008
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 3: supposed to be this trend that like, oh, you don't

1009
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 3: have to be like a huge receiver anymore. And starting

1010
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: with with Roma Dunze, your guy from the Pacific Northwest,

1011
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: who's like a real deal X receiver, who could you know?

1012
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 3: DJ our guy at NFL Network as him as high

1013
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: as a third or fourth overall, will go somewhere in

1014
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: like the top eight. It could be all receivers and

1015
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: quarterbacks to start off. Yeah, he shows up, he has

1016
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: a great workout, he's like a real deal X receiver.

1017
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: But he wasn't the only one.

1018
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 3: It just felt like there's their deep as hell and

1019
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 3: their big as hell. So it's I don't know if

1020
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 3: that's a trend or if it's just like random that

1021
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: we got some nice, big, big men entering the calm down.

1022
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 7: I think it honestly, the last year there was a

1023
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 7: bunch of small receivers and that was kind of a

1024
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 7: thing that kind of felt more like a lip. I

1025
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 7: still think we're gonna still see a lot of big receivers.

1026
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 7: He got Romo Don Brian Thomas from LSU, who's like

1027
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 7: six foot three eighty Mitchell from Texas, who's one of

1028
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 7: my favorites in this class. He like was one of

1029
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 7: the most surprising and best athletes at the combine overall.

1030
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 7: Like you said, Roman Dunes, there's a handful of other

1031
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 7: guys that are that have good size. So yeah, it's

1032
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 7: it's definitely nice to, you know, have have some variation there,

1033
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 7: some variety, because last year, you know, it was just

1034
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 7: like a bunch of guys who are like one hundred

1035
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 7: and seventy eight pounds, and you know, obviously the NFL

1036
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 7: is changing, but it is good to have these guys

1037
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 7: with sides too.

1038
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you could argue that some of these speed

1039
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 4: tests and there were more wide receivers under their four

1040
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: four forty than any other draft in history, So you're right.

1041
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 4: I think they were able to train for these better

1042
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 4: and prepare better. But like someone like Xavier Worthy, who

1043
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 4: he is a very small guy and all that stuff,

1044
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 4: and there's it's not you know, it depends where he goes,

1045
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 4: but he made himself a lot of money by just

1046
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 4: running fast versus other players where you kind of expected it.

1047
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 4: I would ask from a flip side from the quarterback angle,

1048
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 4: because a bunch of quarterbacks did nothing and you kind

1049
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 4: of left wondering what the rest of this market looks like.

1050
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 4: Is there a quarterback that changed your perception your mind?

1051
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: Can that happen to the combine? Yeah?

1052
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 7: I think at the quarterback position, the one guy that

1053
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 7: stood out just from literally weighing in was JJ McCarthy

1054
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 7: because he came in at two hundred nineteen pounds and

1055
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 7: I think everyone was expecting him to be about two

1056
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 7: five or something like that. And you know, obviously you

1057
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 7: can put on there's different ways to kind of bulk

1058
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 7: up right before the combine, but he looked pretty, you know,

1059
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 7: like cut. He was obviously they run around and really

1060
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 7: tight stuff. It wasn't like he just did a bunch

1061
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 7: of donuts and gained a bunch of weight before the

1062
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,959
Speaker 7: combine to kind of get up that weight. It looked

1063
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 7: like pretty realistic weight. So JJ McCarthy coming in at

1064
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 7: two hundred nineteen pounds was I think actually a pretty

1065
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 7: big news just because you know, they're the riggers of

1066
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 7: the NFL. You get hit a lot, you have to

1067
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 7: have a little bit of bulk, and I think, especially

1068
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 7: relative to the fact that Jade Daniels did not weigh

1069
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 7: in and to my eye just at the podium looked

1070
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 7: extremely skinny. I think just that comparison, that contrast could

1071
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 7: be pretty important come come draft time, especially because at

1072
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 7: the combine just the buzz around McCarthy was palpable and

1073
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 7: you didn't really feel that with jaj Well.

1074
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 3: There's some talk that like it could go quarterback one, two, three, four,

1075
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 3: and so that fourth would be JJ McCarthy in theory,

1076
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 3: although I don't like this whole thing where like they

1077
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 3: clearly add weight going into the combine and then they

1078
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 3: don't run. Bryce Young did this last year, and then

1079
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 3: they and they do the droid you know he was

1080
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 3: throwing the ball, and then they lose the weight for

1081
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: their pro day. They don't wait in there, but then

1082
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 3: they do do the speed stuff there, so it's all

1083
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 3: kind of like, what are we doing here?

1084
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 7: Speaking for what it's worth. For what it's worth, McCarthy,

1085
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 7: I believe did run the three cone. Okay, it was

1086
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 7: an elite time. So at least there's that he I

1087
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 7: was like six or eight five or something like that.

1088
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 1: Wait, no one's worried about how he moves.

1089
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 3: He moves fantastic anyways, and so it he might get

1090
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of.

1091
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: A hardball bump that Harbaugh likes him so much that

1092
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: he could go top that eye.

1093
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: I was gonna as a follow up to that, like

1094
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 2: what is to you the McCarthy NFL comp on the

1095
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: on the higher end and maybe on the more conservative end.

1096
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 7: Uh So I comped him to a more sprightly Kirk Cousins.

1097
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 7: I think he's kind of a not gonna He's not

1098
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 7: gonna be super impressive physically, you know, he's kind of

1099
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 7: just right down the middle average and in terms of

1100
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 7: his arm strength, his size, his frame, his speed, everything.

1101
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 7: Uh but he's very good attack in the middle of field.

1102
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 7: He is very good on third downs and in the

1103
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 7: in the red zone. Has a little bit of swagger

1104
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 7: to him has he plays with a very confident demeanor obviously,

1105
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 7: you know, and this is important to people in the NFL.

1106
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 7: He's a winner. He's I think he lost like one

1107
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 7: game in college or something like that, and so he's

1108
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 7: you know, got all those intangibles. He's got, you know,

1109
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 7: uh again, an average frame in basically every way. And

1110
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 7: that's kind of like the Kirk Cousins line for.

1111
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 4: Me, are we going to get more first round offensive

1112
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 4: lineman than in any other his draft in history?

1113
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 7: We definitely might. This is this is a class. I

1114
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 7: have a very hard time stack in these these offensive

1115
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 7: linemen because there's so many good ones.

1116
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 3: Danny does the Draft guide, by the way, for Ringer,

1117
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 3: which is extensive in his out there.

1118
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 4: And a great read with some very uh you know, snarky,

1119
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 4: hilarious lines in there from time to time.

1120
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 7: Thank you. Yeah, it's a great class. When when I

1121
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 7: was putting my board together, it struck me, like you

1122
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 7: said earlier, like you alluded to earlier, it's just all

1123
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 7: tackles and receivers and the first like you could, I

1124
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 7: could see like ten offensive players going off the board

1125
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 7: to start this draft, and wouldn't be that surprise. So yeah,

1126
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 7: it's it's a lot of a lot of offensive linement.

1127
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 7: It's a great year to want to tackle. There's even

1128
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 7: a couple of good, uh like guard tackle combo type guys.

1129
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 7: There's a couple of center guard combo type players. So

1130
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 7: great offensive line draft draft, and overall there's gonna be

1131
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 7: a lot of them taken in the first round.

1132
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 3: Well especially yeah, because there's none in free agency. There

1133
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like it's just enough in the NFL. And

1134
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 3: then a guy like do All goes out there and

1135
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 3: he's doing the the I don't know what they called

1136
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 3: the mobility Joe is like the three cone and everything,

1137
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 3: and he's putting up Lane Johnson type numbers. So it's like, Okay,

1138
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 3: that guy, that guy is gonna go very high. Did

1139
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 3: you have some favorites at receiver? You mentioned ad Mitchell, which, yeah,

1140
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 3: so his teammates with Xavier Worthy who runs the four

1141
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 3: two one, and that's a great moment.

1142
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: The crowd goes crazy.

1143
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 3: I was kind of actually thinking, just a little sidebar,

1144
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 3: like NFL network has been building to that moment for

1145
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 3: like twenty years, because he came out and was like,

1146
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 3: I've been watching the combine since I was a little kid,

1147
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 3: and it had been my dream to do this, And

1148
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 3: I was like that, literally they could have sort of

1149
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,439
Speaker 3: created this event as an event. And then he does

1150
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 3: it and the crowd goes crazy. The crowd actually cared

1151
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: enough to go crazy. I was like, and he's probably

1152
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 3: got to go in the first round now because of it.

1153
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: Like that was a big a wig win for NFL network.

1154
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: It didn't exist before. But like between those two guys, like,

1155
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 3: are they first round receivers ad Mitchell, Xavi and Worthy

1156
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 3: like they it just seems like there's so many Savior Worthy.

1157
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 3: It seems like there's so many guys who could or

1158
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: could not be first round receivers, which makes me wonder

1159
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 3: if teams just like, wait a little bit on it,

1160
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 3: but answer that, and if you had any other receivers

1161
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 3: you want to through out there as a big winner.

1162
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. Right now, there's like the big

1163
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 7: three Marvin Harrison, Junior, Malik, Neighbors, romandun Say, and then

1164
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 7: after that there's probably six to eight different receivers I

1165
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 7: think could go in the first round. You have the

1166
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 7: two you mentioned from the two Texas receivers, Ady Mitchell

1167
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 7: Xavier Worthy, you got Brian Thomas Junior from LSU. I'm

1168
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 7: a big lad McConkey guy. I don't know if he

1169
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 7: has necessarily the size to go in the first round,

1170
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 7: but he ran a four to three nine. He's like

1171
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 7: an all around receiver. I've comped him to Doug Baldwin.

1172
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 7: He just he's just a really good round on an

1173
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 7: extraordinary acceleration. You have Keon Coleman, who is a confusing

1174
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 7: evaluation because he was actually one of the slowest receivers

1175
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 7: at the combine in terms of the forty, but then

1176
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 7: when he was running the gauntlet, they tracked like their

1177
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 7: miles prior to their speed, he was like the fastest,

1178
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 7: So you know, you get into the argument of field

1179
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 7: speed and game speed. And then there's a handful of

1180
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 7: other guys. Troy Franklin from Oregon is another player that

1181
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people have put in the

1182
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 7: first round. I really like Jalen Polk from Washington to

1183
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 7: their second receiver. And you know, there's there's a couple

1184
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 7: other guys that could like rise in the process. Roman Wilson,

1185
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 7: Ricky Piersoll from Florida. It's at an incredible combine, so

1186
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 7: it's a big.

1187
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: Time for like athletic white outside receivers, like for real,

1188
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 3: it's like time and and you have Cooper Degene who's

1189
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 3: like this incredibly athletic cornerback.

1190
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: It is a little bit of.

1191
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 3: A paradigm shift because Maconkie and pearsall are both testing

1192
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 3: you know, Piersaw especially out of the roof, but Mconkie

1193
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 3: might be like a first round white. I mean, it's

1194
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 3: it's not Abne like this, Matt, Like this is in

1195
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 3: the minds of alert to the New England Patriots, right,

1196
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: but it's in the minds of like decision makers and

1197
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 3: stuff to sort of like, Okay, that's that's something that's

1198
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 3: happening like that, let's let's address for that.

1199
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: And then we got to move to cornerback next. A

1200
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: bit of a drought there since Seahorn. Hey uh, I'm

1201
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. Interesting right, because everybody talked about Worthy he

1202
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: ran close to worthy speed, But I saw this reported

1203
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: somewhere four inches taller, forty four pounds heavier, And then

1204
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: I was like, who, who's a like a beast like

1205
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 2: that but also fast as hell?

1206
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: And I was like, DK Metcalf, that was like is he?

1207
00:53:58,520 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: I know? Metcalf was a little bigger.

1208
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 2: He was two twenty eight and Thomas waited in two nine.

1209
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 2: But does he strike you and he also led FBS

1210
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 2: by the way seventeen touchdowns, Yeah, instant star, Like do

1211
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: you see, like, is there anyone that the draft and

1212
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 2: I'm using him as somebody that intrigues me as a

1213
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 2: potential hit the ground running like number one potential guy

1214
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 2: as Thomas or someone else that you saw this weekend

1215
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: that guy.

1216
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, Thomas so Ady Mitchell and Brian Thomas Junior are

1217
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 7: kind of in that same vein and that same mold

1218
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 7: of receiver, like a sort of raw but really explosive.

1219
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 7: And they have this frame where like the six three

1220
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 7: six y four two hundred ish pound guys that's not

1221
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 7: really been like a frame that has been super successful

1222
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 7: in the NFL prior to the last few years. Now

1223
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 7: you see guys like George Pickens, Ceedee Lamb sort of

1224
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 7: is in that sort of vein where either are these taller,

1225
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 7: skinny guys And I comped. I comped Brian Thomas Junior

1226
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 7: to Christian Watson. I guess with hamstrings at work, because he,

1227
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 7: to me is just you know, again, there's a little

1228
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 7: bit of I think concern over his overall nuances a

1229
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 7: route runner and all those things. He didn't run a

1230
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 7: ton of different routes for LSU, who's running a lot

1231
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 7: of slot phadse, a lot of vertical routes. But he

1232
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 7: scores a ton of touchdowns if you get him with

1233
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 7: a good quarterback who can lead him down the field.

1234
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 7: He has that field tilting ability. And so yeah, I

1235
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 7: actually saw, you know, speaking of these two guys, Adie

1236
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 7: Mitchell and Brant Thomas Junior, I saw a tweet from

1237
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 7: Warren Sharp there's two receivers since twenty fifteen at the

1238
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 7: combine that have run four three five or better and

1239
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,919
Speaker 7: six two and two o five or more. That's DK

1240
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 7: Metcalf and Ady Mitchell. So Adie Mitchell, to me, I

1241
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 7: think was one of the biggest winners because I think

1242
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,919
Speaker 7: there were questions coming into the week whether he has

1243
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 7: that quote unquote long speed that you know, vertical, take

1244
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 7: the take the top off a defense type speed. And

1245
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 7: I found it interesting at the at the podiums he

1246
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 7: actually said something like I don't ever run my routes

1247
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 7: full speed, which is simultaneously interesting in a red flag.

1248
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 7: I didn't really know what to make of that because

1249
00:55:55,560 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 7: the question. The question was at basically about him varying

1250
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 7: his route speed and rolling defenders to sleep, and basically,

1251
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 7: you know, changing his speed so it's not always just

1252
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 7: like he's running full speed at all times. But I

1253
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 7: think it just kind of came out, came out a

1254
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 7: little bit wrong and a little bit leading. But he

1255
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 7: to me, was one of the biggest winners just because

1256
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 7: I don't I even wrote in my reporter like does

1257
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 7: he have the long speed. I don't know if he

1258
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 7: has that that elite vertical speed, but it sure seems

1259
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 7: like he does after the way he tested.

1260
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 4: It's pretty telling that we've gotten like we go this

1261
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 4: far into the Q and A and we haven't even

1262
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 4: talked about a defensive player. But I do think like

1263
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 4: Dallas Turner watching him run his forty and just like

1264
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 4: the way he's built, like his wings span, his arms

1265
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 4: like he to me, it's probably the first defensive guy

1266
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 4: off the board in a pretty thin class for defensive dudes.

1267
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, eighty three inch wingspan, which is I saw someone

1268
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 7: put it's almost exactly the same as Labron James. And

1269
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 7: he's only six foot two, I think six foot two,

1270
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 7: so obviously his frame is almost perfectly built to play

1271
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 7: like the edge. He's really long arms, but he's still

1272
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 7: he's not lanky, he's not tall and like sort of

1273
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 7: skinny and lankies. He's just sort of perfectly constructed to

1274
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 7: rush the passer. We're in a four four seven and

1275
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 7: the forty forty and a half inch vert basically everything.

1276
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 7: All his numbers are ninetieth percentile and more from ed

1277
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 7: rushers of the combine. So he, you know, I think

1278
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 7: definitely made money. I kind of had him somewhere in

1279
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 7: the middle of the first round before this week, and

1280
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 7: I'm guessing, based just on the way he tested, teams

1281
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 7: are going to be going back and looking at the

1282
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 7: tape and being like, this is the guy that we

1283
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 7: can mold, this is the guy that we can you know,

1284
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 7: work with because of those athletic traits, right.

1285
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean, there were different defensive players had nice week.

1286
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 3: Kenyon Mitchell, who was a cornerback. Maybe the top corner

1287
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 3: you know, maybe Byron Murphy is defensive tackle. But it

1288
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 3: is something interesting about this class that there might not

1289
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 3: be any defensive players in the top ten. That's why

1290
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: there seems to be extreme classes based on positions like

1291
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 3: the defense. You know, people are going to push cornerbacks

1292
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 3: up the board, but running back in tight end is

1293
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 3: also like there might not be anyone other than brock

1294
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 3: Bauers at tight end that gets taken in the first

1295
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 3: couple of rounds, or might there probably isn't any running

1296
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 3: backs is getting taken in the first couple of rounds.

1297
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: You famously.

1298
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: Came at the King last year and missed by telling

1299
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 3: me that Luke Muskrave was going to be better than

1300
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 3: Sam Laporta, and all Sam Laporta did was have like

1301
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 3: the greatest We went back and forth on this, and

1302
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 3: I stuck my flag on Sam Laporta's back and you

1303
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 3: went with Muskrave, and uh all did was carry a

1304
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 3: bunch of fantasy teams to titles.

1305
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: Don't you in the n Champions put the flag on

1306
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: the hill behind Sam Laporta, not the center of his back.

1307
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 4: I think Greg literally had you on the show just

1308
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 4: to get to that self brag.

1309
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: But texting about this just one small take, mister Kelly,

1310
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: your response to that assassination attempt.

1311
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 7: So the way I remember it, this is all erroneous.

1312
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 7: First of all, I very lightly suggested that I like

1313
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 7: Luke Musgrave slightly more than sam Port. I wasn't like,

1314
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 7: you know, planting a flag with with Musgrave. By the way,

1315
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 7: you forget to mention my big sleeper on the show

1316
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 7: last year. The guy that I was like willing to

1317
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 7: like stake my career on was Devon a.

1318
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 3: Chan That's a good job.

1319
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: That was good. You know, he was great in the

1320
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: six games he played. He was stopping. But that was good.

1321
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: That was a good one. Greg, this is our guest,

1322
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: literally the guest of the show. That was a good one.

1323
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: He nailed anything else. So we talk about do you have.

1324
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 3: Any tight ends or running back just it's just to

1325
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: hit the positions that that you do like because they're

1326
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 3: not going to go high in the draft necessarily. Obviously

1327
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 3: Bowers will, But is there anyone that you like?

1328
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 7: So my I think favorite running back this year is

1329
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 7: Trey Benson from Florida State. It reminds me a lot

1330
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 7: of Kenneth Walker. Just stylistically, very quick feet, very explosive.

1331
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 7: He ran a four to three nine, which is exactly

1332
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 7: what kenn Walker ran last year or two years ago.

1333
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 7: He is a big game hunter, so he's he's I

1334
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 7: think a little bit unsure sometimes behind line of scrimmage.

1335
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 7: Will try and bounce a little too often and trying

1336
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 7: to reverse the field kind of the way that Kena

1337
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 7: Walker does. It's same sort of style. But I love

1338
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 7: this guy. I think he's gonna end up probably being

1339
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 7: a third rounder, but he, to me, is the most

1340
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 7: exciting running back in this class.

1341
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: I want to ask you were you know, you were

1342
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: feet on the ground.

1343
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 4: And there's this thing that keeps happening at these combines

1344
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 4: and it's it's a civilian versus a player, and I

1345
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 4: don't think it's fair if we can bring.

1346
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Up the video here, all right, what are we looking at?

1347
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 4: It is a player who is, you know, running a

1348
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 4: drill and then there's this man in a red shirt

1349
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 4: and here this guy is in a white sweatshirt holding

1350
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 4: like the big giant bag that come smatching you.

1351
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: They and you know, and you know it's not gonna

1352
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: go well.

1353
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 4: But then they replayed this in slow motion of it's

1354
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 4: like getting hit by punched by Rocky basically.

1355
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,439
Speaker 2: So they're doing like swim drills and there's a young

1356
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: man getting absolutely I meanmara in this era of you know,

1357
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: protecting the brain, and the NFL's initiatives put that guy

1358
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 2: in a helmet at the very least, and your thoughts.

1359
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 7: Is this a guy that lost like his Fantasy League

1360
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 7: last place fan like punishment or whatever, and go out

1361
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 7: there and hold.

1362
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 1: The bags during these drills.

1363
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a thankless, thankless job you were.

1364
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 3: You were there for all these questions by the bad job,

1365
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 3: by the guy who asked Caleb Williams as his first question, Uh,

1366
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 3: how come you don't want to compete or something like that.

1367
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: That's so bad. I got to leave the building when

1368
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: he opened like that.

1369
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: I know you, I knew you wanted to talk about

1370
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 3: Amarus Mims uh Danny and his comparison between you know,

1371
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 3: himself and the other prospects, and definitely the reporters in

1372
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 3: the building.

1373
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, there was a picture of circulating from Ryan Fowler

1374
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 7: on Twitter that showed various mems like taking pictures of

1375
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 7: the sort of scene.

1376
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he looks like twice as big as.

1377
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 7: Anybody else, yes on that floor, So it's a little.

1378
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 4: Bit of like Hobbit perspective filming technique going on there

1379
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 4: because they're about five or six feet beyond it. But

1380
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 4: no doubt he towers over any other human in the shock.

1381
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Well, and it is.

1382
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 3: And then people were someone comment, did they they realized

1383
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 3: is going to the combine for the first time. They

1384
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 3: didn't realize how many short reporters there are out there,

1385
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 3: and it is a short crew. I gotta admit, there's

1386
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 3: a lot of short guys. Like if you're just average height,

1387
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 3: that kind of looked like the munchkins right then you're

1388
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 3: you're looking tall on that crew.

1389
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 7: Picture is for for anyone who thinks they could go

1390
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 7: play NFL football right now, like go try and go

1391
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 7: try and you know, rush against that guy.

1392
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 3: He had, by the way, an absolutely ridiculous, freakish workout,

1393
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 3: which might and he's barely played at the pro level

1394
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 3: just because of injuries and then didn't have a starting job,

1395
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 3: but he might get taken extremely extremely high.

1396
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 2: All right, Washington's own Danny Kelly check him out at

1397
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 2: the Ringer. Of course, shout out his NFL draft show,

1398
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 2: his draft guide, and of course fantasy football is always

1399
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 2: on the mind.

1400
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: He's on that too.

1401
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 2: One other thought about Danny's because I said in TGI

1402
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 2: Friday's Summer of two thousand at the Palisade Center Mall

1403
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 2: in wes Nayak, New York, I found it to be.

1404
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 2: I weaponized it a little bit because when you're Danny

1405
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,919
Speaker 2: with with the opposite sex or you know, whomever you're

1406
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 2: attempting to mingle with.

1407
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: I found that being a Danny made you seem.

1408
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 2: A little safer, a little sweeter, a little uh that

1409
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 2: guy where Yeah, more fun loving and more kind of wholesome.

1410
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 2: Almost did that play a role at all? And how

1411
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 2: others perceive you in a sweet wholesome way and manner

1412
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 2: that would allow you to succeed in various.

1413
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 8: And romantically especially Yes, absolutely, I think subtenly my personality

1414
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 8: changed when I you know, because your name is such

1415
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 8: a big part of your identity, right, like Greg, you

1416
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 8: probably had a lot of issues with like two g's

1417
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 8: in your name.

1418
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 7: Yes, how was that growing up for you? Yeah?

1419
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 3: People like they still comment on it a lot. But

1420
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 3: you you are, you are, like you're you're a married man,

1421
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 3: you know you have a child.

1422
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: I believe you know, he's a sweet danny.

1423
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 2: But also Greg, Greg was a major swordsman in Western

1424
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Massachusetts and high school, so I think being a triple

1425
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 2: G help. But anyway, I just that was a memory

1426
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 2: I had of the TGI Friday's.

1427
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,919
Speaker 1: Run in two thousand special run for you. Absolutely agree,

1428
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree fully with that.

1429
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 2: Yet all right, Daniel's a little bit like, oh, keep

1430
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 2: your eye on that guy. Can you keep him on an

1431
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 2: arms length Dan's legs? Kind of a bad news situation.

1432
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 2: Danny's safe, Danny, Thank.

1433
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: You, buddy, Danny. You guys, there he goes good one.

1434
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 4: I wanted to bring up something closer to our show

1435
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 4: because I and I opened the show.

1436
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm a balance. I want to be balanced in my cover.

1437
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Talk about another Daniel. Yes, another Daniel. This is a

1438
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: Daniel again. Keep Daniels at an arm's length whenever you can.

1439
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think especially well, so you know, I said

1440
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 4: they had to did a great job. They brought a

1441
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 4: bunch of guests on, Joey mulnaro, who is like this

1442
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 4: incredible impressionist. I think he's one of the best out there.

1443
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 4: A huge football fan and like he he talked about

1444
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 4: growing up and coming to the combine where you'd stand

1445
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 4: in that roped off area where you would just wait

1446
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 4: to see reporters and stuff coming by. Was a big deal.

1447
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 4: He was like a football nerd.

1448
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: There's always there's always great fans there.

1449
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 3: There's always also the sketchy autograph collectible guy.

1450
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: You know I hate those guys. But that's not Joey.

1451
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Joey was a sidebar, right, because we've

1452
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 2: been to the combine many times. Can we calm down

1453
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 2: with the grown men with the helmets and the glosses.

1454
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 2: I think we could like waiting for the teenagers to

1455
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 2: walk by. There's got to be something else to do.

1456
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, there's gotta be something.

1457
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 4: But this is this is someone who went Joey and

1458
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 4: so we already know we can trust him on some level.

1459
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: But so Joey sat with rich Eisen.

1460
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 2: And Markers standing next to like like teenage boys.

1461
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's their sons. Sometimes, Oh yeah, I was, I

1462
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 4: was at but I'm with you.

1463
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 3: I was at a women's tennis tournament just yesterday in

1464
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 3: San Diego. Walker goes up there, you buy like this

1465
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 3: big the big old ball, the big ball, big side,

1466
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 3: and there's you know, he's getting swallowed up. I let

1467
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 3: him just go up there, and he's getting swallowed up

1468
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 3: by these adults.

1469
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Kind of you're gonna give like, how old's Walker seven?

1470
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: He's eight. You gotta give an eight year old nine

1471
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: year old Walker Rose a sharp elbows.

1472
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 3: No, it's seems improper the size of a seven year

1473
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 3: old sidebar ended.

1474
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: I will attempt to like.

1475
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 4: I just want I thought you would enjoy this where

1476

1501
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:31,560

1502
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: We will be there.

1503
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,080

1504
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 4: the sights and the sounds, and yet we have soldiered

1505
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 4: on and done the best we possibly can.

1506
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: That's the that's the notes. No, I was just mine.

1507
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,400

1508
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 4: Okay, that's good, and I know well player side we covered.

1509
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 4: I am very interested to see more from the quarterback

1510
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 4: tape like Michael Pennix Junior and the rest of.

1511
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 3: The Yeah, there was this guy, Isaac Cornado from Louisville

1512
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 3: is sort of what the combine made for. He is

1513
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 3: the fastest two hundred and twenty pound back in combine history.

1514
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Our friend Bill Barnwell created someone called something called the

1515
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 3: speed score back in the day, which kind of adjusted

1516
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 3: weight for speed.

1517
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 2: Before there was the reception perception. Yes, with Matt Harmon,

1518
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 2: there was the speeds.

1519
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 3: The speed score, and he's I think the highest in

1520
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 3: speed score history or close to the top. Next Gen

1521
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 3: stats had had him fifth all time in terms of athleticism.

1522
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 3: There was this other you know, total workout score that

1523
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 3: had him fifth out of seventeen hundred and sixty five

1524
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 3: running back. So a big man that can move and

1525
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 3: kind of bounced around at first, but that's he has

1526
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 3: the type of day where it's like, okay, now he

1527
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 3: went from being like some seventh round pick to like

1528
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 3: some team's going to give him a chance in the

1529
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 3: third round.

1530
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: I was going to seven an h change type of guy.

1531
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: He was.

1532
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 3: He was just as fast as Devin chan and Keaton Mitchell,

1533
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 3: except he's like weighs fifty more pounds in them.

1534
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: What was up with you again? Agro with Kelly about

1535
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: a couple of different things. There is that just mix.

1536
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 4: It isn't that just parton parcel with you know Greg,

1537
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 4: the interviewers connect.

1538
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 3: That's how how do you not know this? This is

1539
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,600
Speaker 3: how we show love in Western Massachusetts. We're all just

1540
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 3: a bunch of jerks. Apparently I go, but Danny already

1541
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 3: has texted me and wanted.

1542
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: An apology a correction. Yes, Devin H.

1543
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 3: Chan erasure he had almost a thousand scrimmage yards and

1544
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 3: eleven touchdowns.

1545
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: I demand a correction. So here it is. You got

1546
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: your correction.

1547
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 2: We have an audience, it's vast, and there's a responsibility

1548
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 2: comes with that. You try to totally what'd you say

1549
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 2: he played six games? I think he did have like

1550
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: a hunt, like six games.

1551
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 1: He played eleven. But yeah, it felt like it is weird.

1552
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 2: Not only do we have all these like star running

1553
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 2: backs hitting free agency and nobody seems to be willing

1554
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 2: to pay them. You're gonna have a draft now where

1555
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 2: it's possible it takes until round four, day two of

1556
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 2: the draft, or day three of the draft for a

1557
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 2: running back to come off the board. Now, somebody will

1558
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 2: probably jump up into the third or multiple guys, but nobody.

1559
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: There's no Bejons this year.

1560
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 4: It's a weird draft in terms of certain positions being

1561
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 4: slightly ghostly.

1562
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 1: Lamar Gibbs is Nobe Jeans.

1563
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 3: All right, the world where DK mccalffin agent, remember where

1564
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 3: they got drafted? Late second? Like that, that world doesn't

1565
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 3: exist anymore. People were taking their receivers. All right, take

1566
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 3: a break and we'll finish up. Welcome back. We talked

1567
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 3: about with Danny Kelly the Fantasy League.

1568
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 2: Move where the guy finished in last place has to

1569
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 2: do some type of shameful act.

1570
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: One of the.

1571
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 2: People in my fantasy league is someone I've known for

1572
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 2: twenty years, my league of record, Shelyn Patel, who along

1573
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 2: with his family purchased West brom just like they have

1574
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 2: the team now. And it's been a major I mean,

1575
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 2: it's been a blowing my mind and learning more about

1576
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 2: the culture of the Baggies and everything, immediately my favorite team.

1577
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: And we've been texting with John Gonzalez Gonzo, Colleen's husband,

1578
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 2: who's a major soccer fan, and he's been shading in

1579
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 2: some context about the move. And I've been texting, of

1580
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 2: course with Cholin about it, and there's a lot of excitement.

1581
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 2: Very strange, this convergence. It is an amazing thing.

1582
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 3: You definitely have a friend that is wealthier than any

1583
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 3: friend I have, I pretty get.

1584
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: I definitely don't have one that high or even.

1585
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 3: Close that is very successful, incredible, and it's incredible now

1586
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 3: we can root for them because they're in the championship.

1587
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to say something wrong, but they're in the

1588
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 3: level in the league below the premier league. But they

1589
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 3: got a chance here, They got a chance, got a

1590
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 3: chance to get elevated. They're in the race, so we

1591
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 3: got something to root for. Then get to get bumped up.

1592
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 3: Make him some money.

1593
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: A great guy. I've seen him through the years.

1594
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 2: My buddy Greg fifty percent from the Super Bowl was

1595
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 2: roommates with him at Bapson and I've known him for years.

1596
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, and I was.

1597
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 2: I sent out a tweet a couple days ago like

1598
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 2: congratulating him and saying that this is my new team.

1599
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 2: Dare I say this could be the team of around

1600
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 2: the NFL, the football team around the NFL, because Shelyn

1601
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 2: is a major atn fan listener makes sense anyway, So

1602
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 2: that little back and forth with me and Shellin gets

1603
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:15,519

1614

01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: You have any decent Kelsey like a press conference to

1634
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 2: give a teer full eulog of your social media I'm

1635
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 2: crafting it.

1636
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 3: Now you're gonna are you actually got to delete your account?

1637
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 3: I have a friend that that did that. They deleted

1638
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 3: it with a big following, and just I don't think

1639
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,719
Speaker 3: let it sit there, Let it sit there in space.

1640
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 1: It is very exciting.

1641
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 3: I heard from a listener who owns a great tennis podcast,

1642
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 3: the Tennis Podcast, David Law. He said he said this

1643
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 3: takeover meant a lot to him. He's he's been a

1644
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 3: fan since very little boy. And now you know they

1645
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 3: were worried about the future of this team and your

1646
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 3: friend is saving it. Now I'm a little torn. I

1647
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 3: can root for multiple teams. You know, famously, I once

1648
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 3: wore a west Ham jersey. The second time you said

1649
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 3: famously about yourself. But it's supposed to be ironic. The

1650
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 3: point is it's not famous.

1651
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Yea.

1652
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 3: I wear a west Ham jersey and got booed out

1653
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 3: of those stages in London. So I have I have

1654
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 3: been a support of the Hammers, but I feel like

1655
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 3: I can support both. They're in different leagues. Cool in

1656
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 3: the NFL very casual. Yes, that's true. It is is

1657
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 3: your NFL move as well.

1658
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 2: You have to know what part of the country you're in,

1659
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 2: where to wear the kits and all that.

1660
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: But I proudly fly the flag bloying, bloying style. So

1661
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: we got to get there. We got to get to

1662
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: London and get to that stadium.

1663
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 2: But by the way, is a great guy like I

1664
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 2: wouldn't even know that he was this business monster. Uh

1665
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 2: and I would imagine he's very smart and greatest fantasy

1666
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 2: football for whatever that means.

1667
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like where did he finish this year in fantasy is?

1668
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: I would want to know? Oh, man, I should roughly

1669
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: ballpark he had. You know what I can tell you.

1670
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 2: I can tell you that he had the greatest regular

1671
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 2: season of all time.

1672
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

1673
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:31,879
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it paid off in the playoffs,

1674
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 2: but his management of the team was pristine, so that

1675
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 2: no bag bag know that this man knows what he's

1676
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 2: doing in terms of transactions.

1677
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 3: Uh, anything else. Before we say goodbye, we're back on Wednesday.

1678
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:44,280

1680
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 2: going to do some pre free agency conversation. I feel

1681
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 2: like This should be the new theme when we have

1682
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:52,439
