8

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: just everything that's going on surrounding them. I've been lost

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: in deep thought the last couple of days talking to

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: somebody's in the NFL and their college scouts and some

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: new rules on gained on practice squad guys, and I

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be an interesting fall from the scouting

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: in front office perspective from the NFL. UH. Some NFL stories,

15

Speaker 1: off with a nice note. I just want everyone to

00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: know that has done that over the years. I really

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Okay, let's start with this. Like many people,

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: I've watched a to Netflix over the last three and

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: a half months, I spend a large majority Like I'm

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: not that big of a TV watcher. I will watch

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: TV shows that are popular that everyone else is watching

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: because typically I like those shows too. But I don't

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: just watch random TV. But I and I actually watch

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: a lot of TV. They just happened to be games.

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: I always have an NBA game on, always have a

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: baseball game on, watch a ton of golf, obviously the

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: NFL College Football three. I'm watching March Madness. You name

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: any event, any game, any competition. I'm watching betting on.

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Really just I watched from my own enjoyment. Now I

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: also gamble, but I love sports like I was. Sure.

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Imagine many people listening to this podcast to too. So

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: nothing to watch for me the last three and a

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: half months beside the occasional MJ documentary or a couple

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: PGA you know, tournaments the last two weeks. So I'm

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: flipping around Netflix stock that I once owned at much

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: cheaper than it is now. God, I could have made

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: a lot of money. You gotta be patient on the

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: stock market. That's a that's a key because I owned

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: that bad Boy in the high twos and it's now

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: about four or sixty. But I clicked on the Garth

58
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Brooks documentary, like, you know what, I'll check out Garth Big.

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm a country music guy. I'm a music guy in general,

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: but I love country music. I've seen Garth a couple

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: of times live. He is, you know, an all time

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: great entertainer. So you know what, I love to know

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: his story. And you know, he's a little he's a

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: little over the top. Now he's an emotional guy. So

65
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: that this the Netflix is you know, a lot of Garth.

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's Garth kind of like the Michael

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: Jordan's set up interviewing him within the last six months,

68
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe a year. So it's a lot of current Garth

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: talking about his life and his career. Interesting watch and

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: as he finally makes it big, uh, he puts out

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: a big record and has his biggest song yet today

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: called The Dance, and it's huge. I mean, it's the

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: number one country song. It kind of puts him on

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: the map as like a huge country star just that song,

75
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and he had had one previous number one before that,

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: but that song was really like Garth Brooks country music star.

77
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: He said something. Then they go to him sitting on

78
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: his chair like current times. He's like, you know, once

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: I did that, I felt a lot of pressure because

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: now everyone was watching me. The the the circle around me,

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: the just the hype around me was big and whatever.

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: My next you know single that I put out Slash

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: album was gonna set the tone for the rest of

84
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: my career. I was either gonna take it to the

85
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: completely next level and never look back, or just be

86
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: kind of one of those one hit wonders. I was like,

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I've never really thought about that, but

88
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: I think sometimes whenever you kind of get thrown in

89
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: and you become somewhat quote unquote a big deal. I

90
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: think you see this a lot with players, Right, If

91
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 1: you have a big year, then everyone's kind of looking,

92
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: can you do it again? It's why the great players

93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: like Julio Jones or Tom Brady, They've been doing it forever, right,

94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: That's why the great artists put out music forever. It's

95
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: what what's what makes like you two so impressive? Right?

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 1: Or the Eagles or whoever? A great artist can produce

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: great mut usic for multiple albums. It's really difficult to

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: do because once you come out with an all time album,

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god. So he's like, I

100
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: really felt pressure. His next album had the song's Friends

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: and Low Places in the thunder Rolls and his two

102
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: biggest songs by far, and he never looked back. No

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: human in the history of America has sold more albums

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: than Garth Brooks, not one, not the Eagles, not Michael Jackson.

105
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: Now I would imagine over this last decade it is

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: not quantified the same, but Garth Brooks became, I mean,

107
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: one of the biggest music stars in the history of America.

108
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Flew by Elvis, flew by everybody, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks

109
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: is bigger, sold, more revenue, generated, more revenue. So even

110
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: if you're not the biggest country music star one, I'd

111
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: recommend if you ever get the chance to see him,

112
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: it's a fun event and he's just a complete showman.

113
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: He earns every you know, scent that you pay, and

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: it really doesn't cost that much to go see him

115
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: because he's He's really not the big on the business

116
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: of country music in terms of the way they take

117
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: advantage of people, so he's always really tried to keep

118
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: the money down. But I started thinking about that. You know,

119
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: sometimes when the microscope comes on you, and we've seen

120
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: it all the time, some players take that next step

121
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: and never look back and become superstars. But I don't

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: think we often look at it in the lens of coaches.

123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: And I think one guy over this last season became

124
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: a star, Kyle Shanahan. He just he had a six

125
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: year contract going into year four. This year, the owner

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: ripped it up, gave him six more years, ten million

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: of pop. And I think most of us now you

128
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: can be like middle if you're just buy as you

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: live out there. I think most people listening to Yeah,

130
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's lead coach, because he is. He's awesome. I

131
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: talked to coach read about it at the at the combine.

132
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: He's like, God, he's great for coach or great for

133
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. He thinks he's like one of the best.

134
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: And everyone's gonna be looking at the Niners. Now. We'll

135
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: talk about Fauci in the football season this year, and

136
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm not even necessarily just talking about this upcoming fault.

137
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like the next two seasons, like the

138
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: time is now. You kind of set your tone when

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: everyone's looking because I think back to Belichick when Belichick

140
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: gets the job in New England, that first year's rocky.

141
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: The second year, whatever Tom Brady does, drew bledso go

142
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: down a week one or week two, whenever it was

143
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: in searchs Tom Brady. They never look back. They win

144
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Then the next year I'm pretty sure they

145
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: went like seven and nine or eight and eight. But

146
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: then after that they won two straight Super Bowls. So

147
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: right after they won the Super Bowl, everyone's kind of

148
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Within the next three years, he's

149
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: got two more Super Bowls. Andy Reads a good example,

150
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: makes that first NFC championship. Now, he didn't win a

151
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl till later in his career, but went to

152
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: four straight and the fourth one he got to a

153
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So it's like, God, this guy is really

154
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: really good. Now. I don't necessarily think Kyle has to

155
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl this upcoming fall or even in

156
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: the next two years, but I think he at minimum

157
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: he's got to go on a Hardbough type run. He

158
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: has the team, he has the roster. He clearly is

159
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: a star play caller. He has a coaching staff that

160
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: has now been in place for going into his fourth year,

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: and it might get a little more difficult after this year,

162
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: but it's now time for him to kind of throw

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: out some other hits because everyone's looking to them, and

164
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: rightfully so. They have a bunch of good players. They

165
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: have a young core that's cheap. They have multiple star

166
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: older players that are under contract like Trent Williamson and

167
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman George Kittle at this point in time is

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: still doesn't make that much money their quarterback, given how

169
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: productive he is, is on one of the more team

170
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: friendly deals in the league of any quarterback that's on

171
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: a second you know contract. But Garth Brooks went on

172
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: to become a guy that made country music mainstream. Like Google,

173
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: who makes the most money in music? I did it

174
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: the other day. Kenny Chesty has been making thirty to

175
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: forty million dollars for about a decade. Luke Brian last

176
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: year made forty five million dollars. Garth Brooks changed the game,

177
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: but he answered and became such a big star. And

178
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: I think Belichick is really the best example for this.

179
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: He won those four or three Super Bowls within a

180
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: four year span, and then for the next fifteen years

181
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: pedal to the medal. Now he wasn't winning the Super

182
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: Bowl every year, right, but he went to what he's

183
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: been to twelve with the Patriots, or I guess they've

184
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: won six. He went to nine, so you might have

185
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: They went to six more in the next fifteen years

186
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: during the NFC or the FC championship game every year,

187
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: and he just became an all timer and arguably the

188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: best coach ever and coach read just one at winning, winning, winning, winning, winning.

189
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: Now coach read the second iteration in Kansas City, look

190
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: at the star on him and Mahomes goes. Mahomes first

191
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: year wins the m v P. They get to the

192
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: a f C Championship Game, they come within an off

193
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: sides of winning, they don't win the game. Well, coming

194
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: back this year, everyone's talking about him reigning m v

195
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: P like the next Brett Farve, but like, even better,

196
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: what do they do? They win the Super Bowl than

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the rest is history. They are clearly the top quarterback

198
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: coaching duo and he's now viewed as an all timer.

199
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes is viewed as like the greatest two year start

200
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: to a career in the history of football at a starter,

201
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: and I think it's taken. Kyle's taking a weird path, right.

202
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: He was the son of a coach that won multiple

203
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. He's been a coordinator for four different teams.

204
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: You know, Sean McVeigh had been a coordinator one place

205
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: and we don't even really know how much he was

206
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: coordinated because Jay Gruden was calling the offense. Right, some

207
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: of these guys were like, you know they've been at

208
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: one spot and got a job. Cliff Kingsbury hadn't even one.

209
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: He gets a job at Texas Tech. Kyle started with

210
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans with his dad, to the Washington Redskins,

211
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: went to the Cleveland Browns, and then went to Dan Quinn.

212
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: That's four different head coaches before he even became a

213
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: head coach. And then he went through some rough times,

214
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: but definitely for the last four or five years, we

215
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: went like, God, this guy is really really good. And

216
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: then last year kind of solidified himself. But he really

217
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: really I think, to become what he just got paid

218
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: to become. And I think Jed would say we already

219
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: think he is that, and that's true, and I do too.

220
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: I think Kyle's a star, but I think he could

221
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: solidify himself as like whoa are we looking at Bill Walsh?

222
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Are we looking at you know, Bill Parcels? Are we

223
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: looking at check Chuck Nol? Are we looking at a

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Don Shula? Does he pass his dad one day? Because

225
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: his stardom right now and the stepping stone he has

226
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity with with this team is pretty incredible. And

227
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: he's also the play collar, so he dictates half the game,

228
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: and their offense is pretty loaded. Even though Debo got

229
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: hurt and we'll get into that later later, they still

230
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: have another first round pick. They got multiple guys coming

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: back from injury, offensive wide receivers, they had the best

232
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: tight end of the game. They had Trent Williams. They

233
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: have a good quarterback, the Shanahan way. You could put

234
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: me or you back at running back. They're gonna run

235
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: all over you. So Kyle Shanahan basically had his first

236
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: big hit last year and it was a huge hit,

237
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: big success, unreal fun to watch. I've been watching football

238
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: professionally now for a decade. That team was legit. There

239
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: was no joke, nothing flukey about any of it. But

240
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: it's now time to fall it up and if he does,

241
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: big time stardom will come. Okay, listen, we've all taken

242
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: and had to adapt over the last three months. All

243
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: of our businesses and lives have changed in some form

244
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: of fashion that is, but definitely professionally right, A lot

245
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: of you guys are working from home. You know, if

246
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: you're an essential worker, you're wearing a mass on job sites,

247
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: or if you're in the food industry, whatever you're doing.

248
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: It has been an uncomfortable time. There is no way

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: around it. I would imagine people have taken pay cuts

250
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: or lost money that they would have gotten because deals

251
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: were renigged on or didn't happen or whatever. This has

252
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: been a curveball none of us aw coming, and I

253
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: think I'm already seeing it with the NFL. Yesterday it

254
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: was announced that the league will add two players to

255
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: the practice squad, so instead of ten, you can keep twelve.

256
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: And it's already been announced that instead of that, I

257
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: think it was the new rule either past last year

258
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: or two years ago that you were allowed to bring

259
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: one player off injured reserve. This year you're allowed to

260
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: bring off bring back three. And I think those just

261
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: like in any business, you gotta be you gotta be

262
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: open minded, you gotta be able to change and adapt

263
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: for the health of your business. During this time, we're

264
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: all doing it right, all of us, so the the

265
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: NFL is no different. I do think it's gonna have

266
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: a major major impact on the season. When you put

267
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: together your initial roster, you know that it's usually uh

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: the weekend. You know, leading up to Week one they

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: have the big cut down. A huge part of accumulating

270
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: your practice squad is based on evaluating the NFL. And

271
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is you've got three or

272
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: four pro scouts, including you know, personnel guys general managers,

273
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: that are just scouring watching every single snap of every

274
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: single guy in the NFL during that thirty day period

275
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: in August when all the preseason games are happening, because

276
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: you want to know well as the guy we have

277
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: on our roster better than a guy that we could

278
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: sign from another team's roster. This is a practice squad guy.

279
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a realistic chance that preseason games do

280
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: not happen. I saw a headline a couple of days

281
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: ago they might cut down the preseason. It would not

282
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: shock me. Within the next month, several weeks they just

283
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: announced no preseason games. They've already announced no joint practices. Well,

284
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: a big part of the preseason. When I worked in

285
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, I probably went to seven or eight preseason games.

286
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: I have buddies that are pro scouts. They go to

287
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: countless preseason games. I've been told by multiple guys, yeah,

288
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: we're probably not gonna be going to preseason games, so

289
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: not even an option. You won't even be allowed. They

290
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: might not even exist. Let alone the season for advance scouts.

291
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: But let's just stick with the preseason. So you're gonna

292
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: be building these teams like the the Major League Baseball

293
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: draft just happened. It went from forty rounds to five

294
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: and then every guy that was not drafted there was

295
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: a cap you could only offer him twenty dollars to sign. Well,

296
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: the season basically didn't happen. So beside the top handful

297
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: of guys, there were a lock probably top ten pick

298
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: coming into the baseball season. Think how many guys might

299
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: have gone undrafted, might have got on in the fourth round.

300
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: That would have been like first round picks if an

301
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: actual season had taken part. I would imagine five or

302
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: six years in baseball we look back and go, got

303
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: a guy like Max Scherzer or Madison Bumgardner, their equivalence

304
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: will be in the league kicking everyone's ass. Can you

305
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: believe that guy was an undrafted free agent? And I'll

306
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: push back, no weird times during Corona and it was

307
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: just crazy, just like I think in a several years

308
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: will be like, God, can you imagine cutting George Kittle

309
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: the equivalent you know at some tight end that was cut.

310
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Now he's on the Cowboys or the Eagles or the Cardinals.

311
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: He's kicking everyone's ass. He's like a six round pick.

312
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Part of the problem is gonna be if they're aren't

313
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: preseason games in training camp, you're gonna be so focused

314
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: on the guys that are actually gonna play, or at

315
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: least that you think are gonna play, getting them ready

316
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: for Week one in the season. So your ability to

317
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: evaluate your own guys is gonna be somewhat limited. Now,

318
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine coaches who think outside the box, We'll

319
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: set up very competitive two on twos and threes on threes,

320
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: but still there's nothing like guys playing well in practice

321
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: get to those preseason games and they don't have it,

322
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: or vice versa. A guy in practice you're like, you know,

323
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: we draft this guy in the fourth round, he hasn't

324
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: been that get in practice. Then you get in the

325
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: game and he dominates, and you're like, thank god, But

326
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: we knew we had something that might not exist this year.

327
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: So the amount of turnover all over the league and

328
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna get spread all over these practice squads,

329
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: we we won't know for a couple of years, but

330
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: really Pro Bowl players are gonna come out of this group,

331
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: I would guarantee that I would I would bet a

332
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars right now several Pro bowler or guys make

333
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers. Excuse me, guys will make a Pro Bowl

334
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: over the next seven eight years that were on practice

335
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: squads and cut in this training camp that maybe on

336
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: a given year, if they would have been able to

337
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: play in some preseason games, they would have been a

338
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: lock to make their team. You just won't have the information.

339
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Then we have the college football season, which is clearly

340
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna be weird. Well, a big part of and I've

341
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: been a college scout, is you go into the programs.

342
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: If you have the SEC, you go to Alabama. You

343
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: probably spend six or seven days there total throughout the fall. Clemson,

344
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: l s U, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon. These schools

345
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: are producing Utah a boatload of pros. You have to

346
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time there, not just to run

347
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: into the players and evaluate the players, but talk to

348
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: everyone in the program. Well, isn't there a chance this

349
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: year that the programs depending on what happens in college football.

350
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: I was talking to a buddy in the league yesterday

351
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: that like, what if college scouts aren't allowed into the schools.

352
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: That's possible. Now you would still have to attempt. You know,

353
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: if the games are going on, you can still evaluate them.

354
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: You'll just have to do your work. Just like all

355
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: of us. We've had to do zooms. Maybe you'd have

356
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: to set up zooms with pro liaison, set up zooms

357
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: with offensive and defensive coordinators. It would just be a challenge.

358
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: But that's what we're in, a challenging time two thousand

359
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: and twenty. On one hand, I just say it sucks,

360
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: and then another hand, I actually think I've I know,

361
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: I've used this personally as a time to like, let's

362
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: try some different things out. Let's see maybe this didn't work.

363
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: Why was I doing it this way? Was I doing

364
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: it this way just because I thought this was the

365
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: right way to do this? Is this the right way

366
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: to do this? Could we change? Could we adapt? And

367
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: I wonder if scouts, just like the NFL teams talked

368
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: about what during the draft. You know, after your college

369
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: scouts spend four months on the road, you don't need

370
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: to bring them for three sets of meetings to your facility.

371
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: You can do a minimum one set over the computer.

372
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: The technology is here there's a region. Our biggest companies

373
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: in America, our technological companies, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, They're

374
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: not like Ford Motor Company right that they're They're all

375
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: based on the Internet. You want something, go to Amazon,

376
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: type it in order it. They'll deliver it three hours later.

377
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome. And if it if you don't like it,

378
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: say Jeff, I don't want it. And a lot of

379
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: times they're like credit it back to you don't even

380
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: need to give it back. I know multiple people that

381
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: have told me like, yeah, Amazon set me the wrong thing,

382
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: or I got it and I didn't like it and

383
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: I was gonna return it, and I did the return

384
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: thing online. They're like, you've already been credited. It's like

385
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: I haven't even given you my item back. They're making

386
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: so much money they don't even care. I mean, Apple's

387
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: got you can't even They don't even know where to

388
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: put all their cash. They were Pablo Escobar, they would

389
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: have you know, every piece of land in California would

390
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: be full of cash underneath it. They just be digging

391
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: holes throwing cash in there. So these scouts are gonna

392
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way. Potentially I would already

393
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: be getting my mind right of like reaching out to

394
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: some of the coordinators, reaching out to schools that I

395
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: know we're gonna have a lot of prospects, you know,

396
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: and just trying to get their information now because once

397
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: the season starts, if you do get cut off and

398
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: are not being able to go in there, it's gonna

399
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: be hard to get ahold of some of these guys.

400
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: Whether it's email, whether it's calling. They're gonna have a

401
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: lot going on. It's gonna be a crazy time this fall.

402
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: And the advanced scouts, I've done that as well. They're

403
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be allowed. There's gonna be no media

404
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: at any of these games. One thing I love by

405
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: the way that the media is doing a lot lately.

406
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: I see it on Twitter all the time. Is like

407
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: just on vacation with the fan or out with the

408
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: boys at the beach, you should see what all these

409
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: idiots are doing. So wait, you're at the beach, but

410
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: you don't like what they're doing. They should be inside,

411
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: you should be outside. It's one of those Bobby Knights,

412
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: do as I say, not as I do. Like, no,

413
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way. You don't get to talk down.

414
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: It's like just just just on vacation with the fam.

415
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: You should see what these morons are doing in southern California.

416
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: So wait, you're out and about. You're out and about

417
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: what other people out and about. It doesn't quite work

418
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: that way, right. It's just so fraudulent. It's just God,

419
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: it's just so Fraudulent's driving me just off the wall.

420
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: Nothing makes me angrier than a tweet like that. Just

421
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: just at the beach with my my wife and kids.

422
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: You see what these idiots are doing next to me.

423
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: So you're literally out Listen. I followed the rules during

424
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: this thing. I wanted to end as much as anybody.

425
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm financially in bed with football and sports. But I'll

426
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: be the first to say I don't know what's gonna

427
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: happen this fall. And back to what I said about

428
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: the scouts and offices. They already did it for the draft,

429
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: they did it for free agency. If I'm an individual

430
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: and I have an area, if I have teams to

431
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: do this fall, get ready to change because there's a

432
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: lot of unknown. No one knows what's coming. Uh. Hell,

433
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci changes his mind every ten minutes. We'll dive

434
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: into him here in a minute. But just just get

435
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: ready for the unexpected. Okay, let's bang out a couple

436
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: of quick stories around the NFL before we get into

437
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: the middlecuff mail bag. I guess the story. I mean,

438
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: I've heard this damn story like three times in the

439
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: last year. Like this player like him a lot. The

440
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: nine are screwed up. They should have taken this guy

441
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: over Solomon Tom's. He should have been the third pick

442
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: in the draft. He was still the six pick in

443
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the draft. When you go six in the draft, like

444
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams does, you get paid a lot of money.

445
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: You play a position, and you you have a playing style,

446
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: and I love his playing style. I watch football for

447
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: the violence. I love guys like Jamal Adams did want

448
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: to wreck shop when they hit you. My favorite players

449
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: in the league Khalil Mack, Aaron Donald, Luke, Keikley, Richard Sherman.

450
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: All dudes inflict pain at least defensively. Right, those are

451
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: my favorite type players. On defense. I want asked kickers,

452
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: and that's what Jamal Adams is, box safety. Really good

453
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: talented player, cover guy. Okay, solid, I got a lot

454
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: of opinions, Yeah he does. He's been a part of

455
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: a joke franchise for three years and he's going into

456
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: his fourth year. Right he didn't get or get his

457
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: he got his fifth year option picked up. And one

458
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: reason he's complaining right now is because Christian McCaffrey just

459
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: got paid. Well, Jamal Christian McCaffrey. There's a huge It

460
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make that much sense to pay Christian McAffrey what

461
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: they paid him. Let's be real, and I love Christian McCaffrey.

462
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: I think he is a superstar. Paying running backs not

463
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: ideal now. Christian adds a huge element as a pass

464
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: catcher and he's been incredibly productive through two years. The

465
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: owner of the Carolina Panthers just paid two billion dollars

466
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: in cash to buy the team he got rid of

467
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: I saw the Carolina Panthers tweeted out, like the best

468
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: player in the history of the franchise listen, Luke Kickley

469
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: is the best player in the history of the franchise,

470
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: seven time All Pro better than Julius Peppers, better than

471
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: Steve Smith. Cam Newton, though is the most important player

472
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: of the franchise, wasn't the best player of the franchise again,

473
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: Luke Keickley, who was always beside the one Cam MVP

474
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: year and I'm pretty sure Luke was First Team All

475
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: Pro that year. Best player in the franchise history, Luke Keickley,

476
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: most important player, most famous player, Cam Newton, and Cam

477
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: Newton was an awesome player too, but they got rid

478
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton, they got rid of Greg Olson. Keikley retired,

479
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis is gone. Juice Peppers ain't walking through that door.

480
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: You gotta sell some seats. So I paid two billion.

481
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: I got no problem giving Christian McCaffrey like thirty five

482
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. What's your value? Jamal? Can I even win

483
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: with you? I don't know. We never have someone today.

484
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: When I was going live on periscope, which I do,

485
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: you know, minus the pandemic basically Monday through Friday through Twitter,

486
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff same Twitter handle is my Instagram handle, and

487
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: someone said, well, Eddie Jackson got paid. Yeah, Eddie Jackson

488
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: his Pro Bowl year whenever a couple of years ago,

489
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: was I don't know, one of the more productive players

490
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: on the best defense in the league. And I'm pretty

491
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: sure he had like four pick six is that year.

492
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bears had like seven pick sixes at a team,

493
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure he had like three or four.

494
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty unique skill, you know, scoring touchdowns. He's a

495
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: cover guy, Jamal, You're not a cover guy. It's a

496
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: cover league. Now you're a physical player again. I love

497
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: physical players. What Joe Douglas supposed to do, give you

498
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of money's just wait and see what's the rush.

499
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: You're already getting a ton of money, extremely highly paid.

500
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: Think about the other guys from that class that he's like.

501
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Other guys are about to get paid. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes,

502
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. If you take Jamal Adams off the team,

503
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: left is anything change? Sam Donald's the franchise and he'll

504
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: one day get paid if he if he's good, and

505
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: I think he will be, but we don't know. But Jamal,

506
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I like you. I like your passion. But god, it's

507
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: just who do he thinks trading for you and then

508
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: paying you. You're not Aaron Donald, You're not Khalil Mack,

509
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: You're not Jalen Ramsey. No one's doing that, nobody, Deebo

510
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Samuel broke his foot. Not ideal? Uh camp Jimmy two

511
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: point oh. The Forts were doing a camp in San

512
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: Jose because a bunch of players live in Tennessee. They

513
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: moved at all to Tennessee. Kittle use check Deebo Samuel.

514
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: You know a bunch of guys last year that didn't

515
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: play that much. Jalen heard who they drafted, John Jennings

516
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: who they drafted this year? Uh, Brandon and you the

517
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: first round? I'm pretty sure is there Kendrick Borne. They're

518
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: having a huge, you know operation out there, a huge practice,

519
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: like forty guys, maybe not forty guys, excuse me, but

520
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: probably like twenty guys. I was texting with someone that

521
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: was there. He said, we do forty play walkthrough like

522
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: they're taking it really really seriously. Anyone that not did

523
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: not have a place to stay. Jimmy Garoppolo put up

524
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: in a hotel. So it's a pretty high level operation

525
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: at least until Deebo Samuel broke his foot and it's

526
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: called the Jones fracture and just state school. Guy don't

527
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: know that much about medicine besides sports injuries and you

528
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: know your basic bad diseases like most of us do.

529
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: Anytime you have a injury or a disease named after

530
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: has a specific name, I always say it's not good.

531
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: You know, the Tommy John is not good. The Jones

532
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: fracture just sounds bad. Now. I had a buddy text

533
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: me to say, listen, I had the same I did

534
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: the same thing to my foot last year. And this

535
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: guy is just a normal human, he's not an NFL player.

536
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: I said, well, what happened? He said, I did a

537
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: month in a cast and then a month in a boot,

538
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: and then you start rehabbing. So it's it's a pretty

539
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: big injury for a guy. That gives George Kiddle a

540
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: little more leeway he wants, or leverage he wants a

541
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: new contract. A ton of pressure on Brandon Aiyuka, first

542
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: round wide receiver that really is just a one year

543
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: wonder in college again talented player. Now they got Jalen

544
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: heard Dante Pettis isn't very good, but they might need

545
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: him now Trent Taylor who hasn't played in like three years,

546
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: so we'll see. That's a uh, you know, part of football.

547
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: And he saw with Brandon Brooks this week towards achilles.

548
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: I I say it all the time, and I think

549
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: this way, and when I say it to Corona, like,

550
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, follow the right steps, but you can't be

551
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: scared of your shadow. People like what if he gets injured. Yeah,

552
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: it's football. You get injured lifting weights, you get injured

553
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: at O t As, you get injured in training camp,

554
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: you get injured in a game. It's like if I

555
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: go pick up dinner and I get on the highway,

556
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: it could go wrong. It's life. You can't operate scared.

557
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes guys get hurt. You know it just it sucks.

558
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: But I can't be like, well, they shouldn't have been

559
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, he could have got hurt ot as.

560
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: Guys get hurt every year at ot as part of

561
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: the deal. Dr Fauci not too bullish on the NFL.

562
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: My overall take on Dr Faucci is the first month

563
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: I thought Dr Faucci was a genius. I just followed

564
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: everything he said. I'm like this guy, this little guy

565
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: used to play basketball. He's smart. He contradicts himself like

566
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: every other week. So I'm not even against his overall message.

567
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult to play football. The sport

568
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: is antisocial distancing. John Harbaugh said it. Sean McVeigh said it.

569
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: I've talked about on this podcast. Social distancing and football

570
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: do not go hand in hand. They don't they They

571
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: couldn't be any more polar opposites right in football, you

572
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: literally five guys are touching each other at the line

573
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Eleven guys are in a huddle. Every tackle,

574
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: there's five or six guys, you know, falling on each other.

575
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: The meeting rooms, the practices, the showers, It's just there

576
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: are definitely question marks. But the NFL is gonna go.

577
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: And I tweeted this like, people are like, what if

578
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: a major quarterback it's Corona, it'd be bad. What if

579
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: a coach got Corona? What if the coach was, you know,

580
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: a major coach. I'm not gonna say any names. I

581
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: don't want to jinx anybody, but would they have to

582
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: miss a couple of games? Man? Listen, the more and

583
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: more of these stories come out. And I'm not someone

584
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: who just lives in the fear porn. I'm not doing

585
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: it because I know that what the media's job is

586
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: fear porn equals clicks. And they've lost a ton of advertisers.

587
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: They're hoping to have huge numbers. Whenever the Corona ends,

588
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: they'll just flip the script. They don't they don't care.

589
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: It's why so many people in the media were wanted

590
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 1: to lock down forever, and then the protests happened. They

591
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: were okay with the protests, but they just said that

592
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: they weren't okay with the you know, you wanted to lockdown.

593
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: Those two things couldn't be any more opposite, right, And

594
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: now they want to lock down forever again because the

595
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: case they're spiked, well, fourteen days ago, we had hundreds

596
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: of thousands, probably millions of people all over this country

597
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: altogether when we were told forever to social distance, and

598
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the media didn't care anymore. Doesn't

599
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: make it just doesn't make any sense. I'm pro protests,

600
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: but pro protest in a pandemic when we're not supposed

601
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: to social distance. How could you say with a straight face,

602
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: I want to lock down, I want to lock down,

603
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: and yeah, I go protests, Like how how could and

604
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: that My entire Twitter timeline was like that. It doesn't

605
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: even doesn't even add up. You couldn't be you're talking

606
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: out both sides of your mouth. But it shows you,

607
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: like my old overall take on the media, like they

608
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: don't have much conviction on any of this stuff, and

609
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna, like Dr Fauci thing blew up because I

610
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: think it feels like a lot of them are rooting

611
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: for a lockdown, which again is weird. But I'll be

612
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: the first to say, like, the more and more you

613
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: read about players getting Corona, like Kareem Jackson of the

614
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: Denver Brons, well they had a huge protest right fourteen

615
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: days ago or twelve days ago in Denver. Is it

616
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: crazy to think that he got sick during that, right?

617
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: That would make some sense out and about with thousands

618
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: of people. Isn't that what we're supposed to avoid? Isn't

619
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: that why all these leagues were coming back with no fans.

620
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: People are gonna get Corona. It's gonna happen. You just

621
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 1: not want to play anything. That's not the way these

622
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: leagues operate because, like I said earlier this week, it's

623
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: about the money now, is it? Is it gonna be flawless?

624
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: Is weird things gonna happen? Yes, are people gonna get Corona.

625
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: But I've done caring what the media's take is on it,

626
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: because they would flip for anything for a click. I mean,

627
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: most of these media companies are holding on for dear life.

628
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: ESPN thirty million dollars a day, losing losing, So I

629
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: just listen regardless where your stance is. I I just

630
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: don't care. You know, none of you guys are doctors.

631
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: You went to sey Heracuse or Northwesterns to get a

632
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: journalism degree, and you just seem mad all the time,

633
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: which I mean, God fucking relax. N C double A

634
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: approved six week training camp kind of uh comeback plan

635
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: I saw today Texas. I think thirteen guys tested positive.

636
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a challenge, you know. But the n

637
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: C double A, unlike the NFL, they're just a huge

638
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: business and they want the money because a lot of

639
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: people get really rich, players, owners, teams, like, everyone benefits.

640
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: Help me. I don't get really rich, but I mean

641
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: I make money off it. We want football to start,

642
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: but in college football is a little different. The women's

643
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: basketball team, the men's baseball team, the soccer teams, the

644
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: swimming teams, they desperately and let me repeat, desperately need

645
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: college football to happen because if it doesn't, bye bye

646
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: bye bye. College football pays for everything, literally everything, And

647
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: luckily with the NFL like they could figure it out.

648
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: If worst case scenario push the season back whatever, they

649
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: could pivot college like if the season got canceled, there

650
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: would be a lot of student athletes in these other sports,

651
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: and coaches and administrators on the street. It would be really,

652
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: really bad. Again, why I have taken the stance the

653
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: entire time. I want to get out of this as

654
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. I'll do whatever I can to try

655
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: to help out. I don't want anyone to lose their job.

656
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: I want sports to come back. I'm rooting for it

657
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: all I I am not going to be on the

658
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: other side that the media has that side cornered anyway.

659
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they never shut up about it. I actually

660
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: want sports to come back. I mean weird novel concept.

661
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: I like them, right, I enjoy talking about them. Some

662
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: people don't. Okay, let's dive into the Middlecoff mail bag. First,

663
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: first question here, what are your thoughts on the culture

664
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: of steroids in the NFL. It's hard for me to

665
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: believe it's not rampant given the rikish nature of athletes

666
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: these days. Is there a culture of the league turning

667
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: an eye because it creates a better product any chance

668
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: COVID attempts players to push limits because they haven't been

669
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: able to lift as much as possible. Uh, I'm not

670
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna pretend to be naive. Clearly, I've always assumed guys

671
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,479
Speaker 1: are taking things that push the limit. I have never

672
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: heard a coach talk about it in scouting meetings. A

673
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: couple of times that came up. You gotta be you know,

674
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: in draft meetings, you gotta be careful. This guy might

675
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, the team thinks he's a steroid guy. But

676
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: you get tested, so you know, you try to push

677
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: the envelope with every you know thing that every drug

678
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: or over the counter whatever you can take that is

679
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: not on the band substance list. But if you get

680
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: caught with the band substance, you will get suspended. So

681
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm probably the wrong guy to ask. You'd have to

682
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: ask some players, and even obviously they would they'd probably

683
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: act um, but I you know, the guys would be

684
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: to ask, would be the strength coaches. I I never

685
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: saw it. I never heard of it. I just always assumed. Now,

686
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: in like any business, right you can figure out ways

687
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: to cut corners. I watched some of the Lance Armstrong documentary.

688
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: We've seen the Baseball steroid documentaries. Wherever the testing is,

689
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: there's always doctors to be ahead of the testing. But

690
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: like full on, just bend over steroid in your butt needle.

691
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: That's probably not going on as much as you think.

692
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: But the technology is incredible, right with the creams, the clears.

693
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean that was a decade and a half ago.

694
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would imagine there are guys on stuff

695
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: that pushes the envelope for sure, Do I think, Like

696
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always heard rumors h g h M.

697
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: The NBA's I mean, just look at some of these guys,

698
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, giving a break, but I don't. I've never

699
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: been again, I'm a very Bonds guy. I'm not affected

700
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: by that. I'm watching this for and I'm doing this

701
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: for entertainment and for money and because I enjoy it.

702
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't care. I'm not Bob Costas here.

703
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: Do whatever you gotta do. It's it's a violent physical sport.

704
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes just doing some curls and eating uh chicken breass

705
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be enough. So, you know, in a serious nature,

706
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't know much about it, Like I don't have

707
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: much inside information because honestly, I've never really asked about it.

708
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: It was one of those things in my experience, don't

709
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 1: one just really talked about it, Partly because we don't

710
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: really care. Only cared if you failed the test. At

711
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: this point in his career, do you think Tomlin is

712
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: actually underrated? Sure, he probably should have another ring, but

713
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: he's made the playoffs eight of twelve years, has a

714
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: winning percentage that trails only Belichick among active coaches, and

715
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,479
Speaker 1: obviously it's dealt with some big personalities over the years.

716
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: Seems like people are always coming for his head. But

717
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: to me, he's clearly one of the best coach of

718
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: the league. He's never had He's I've had a season

719
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: under five dred. You could argue last season with Mason

720
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: Rudolph and the Duck Hunter. It's one of the more

721
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: impressive years I've ever seen. If you've been listening to

722
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: podcast for over you know, eight months, you know when

723
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: they traded for Mika Fitzpatrick, I destroyed it. I was wrong.

724
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: Miko was a stud. They had one of the best

725
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: defense in the league. He dominated, and they went eight

726
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: and eight with no quarterback play. And all the guy

727
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: does is, you know, his worst years are gonna be

728
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: eight and eight. I I do think he takes, you know,

729
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: an unfair amount of criticism, but that also happens when

730
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: you don't call either side of the ball. And you're

731
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: just quote unquote the CEO coach because our first response

732
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: is like, what are you dealing? Like those years with

733
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, John Harbaugh, what are you doing? Pete Carroll,

734
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Now? Pete's one, But I think

735
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: sometimes when he loses, we just go Ussell Wilson. Like

736
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid or Sean Payton or Kyle Shanahan or

737
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. Their hands are on every game. Belichick doesn't

738
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: ever get it because he just wins every year. Doug

739
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: Peterson calling every game. Even Mike Zimmer you got well

740
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: calls those double a gut blitzes hell of a defensive

741
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: play caller. So when you when you call a side

742
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: of the ball, you impact the game. My my other podcast,

743
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 1: Guy Haberman, who I do it with, has a theory

744
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: in baseball. It's not even just theory, it's correct. When

745
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: you don't hit in baseball, it looks like the team's

746
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: not trying. But that's just the nature of the sport.

747
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: If you if you get one hit all game, you

748
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: got God. Yankees didn't even give a ship tonight, No,

749
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: they tried. Max Sers are just modeem down. And I

750
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: think sometimes in football, Guy like Mike Tomlin Will You're like,

751
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: he's not calling the offense, not calling the defense. Yeah,

752
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: he's He's clearly doing something because the moment Antonio Brown

753
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: le Pittsburgh, it was like a crazy man was on

754
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: the loose to me, handling Antonio Brown like it turns

755
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: out levy On was just more about money. They didn't

756
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: want to pay him, it was it was just business.

757
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: Antonio was like a personality management. What an incredible accomplishment

758
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: could you say? Managing Antonio Brown for the five or

759
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: six years the guy was in like the peak of

760
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: his abilities is one of the most impressive NFL accomplishments

761
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: in recent memory. Who could do that? I mean John

762
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: Gruten and Mike Mack could make it two weeks with

763
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: a guy. My question is about home field advantage. If

764
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: there are no fans in the stands, would there'll be

765
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: would would there be a home field advantage and corresponding

766
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: three points on the betting line? Would that be wiped out?

767
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: In my opinion, there are a few teams in the

768
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: league that would still have a home field advantage, and

769
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: the biggest one would probably be Denver given the altitude factor,

770
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: which would give them an advantage on other teams competing

771
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: for a wild card spot thoughts. I agree a lot

772
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: the good That's why do the people show you guys

773
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: are smart. Let me give that little thumbs up for sure.

774
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: It's why Utah has a big advantage. And Denver, excuse me, Denver.

775
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: In the NBA, they always talked about my I mean

776
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: mile high. I'd say more teams would be impacted the

777
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: other way. Right, three teams I immediately think of, and

778
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: they're good teams. Super Bowl champs, Kansas City, Seattle Seahawks,

779
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: and the Twelves and the New Orleans Saints. Their fans

780
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: play a massive, massive role. So if you're going no

781
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: fans again, gut feeling. I've never like asked a gambling

782
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: guy why you get the automatic three points? But I

783
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: would imagine maybe two of the points get you know,

784
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: maybe one point. But if you were, like, you know,

785
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: the Niners going to I'm trying to pick a bad team,

786
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: like the the Jets, why would you give them three

787
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: points off the off the bat right? Or the Chiefs?

788
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: I think play the the Arizona Cardinals, you know what,

789
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: Let's say it's in Arizona. Who cares? Yeah, I haven't

790
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: really thought about that. But that's a good, good thought process,

791
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: for sure, it would. It would really really impact Denver.

792
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: I do have a question that is not really related

793
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: to football, though. Are you bold by choice? When did

794
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: you start losing your hair? Thanks? Keep up your great work.

795
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: I've always been really opinionated, uh, I guess from really

796
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: really young age. Used to butt heads a lot with

797
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: my parents because I would just never shut up. I

798
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: had opinions. They're not always right. I just I've always

799
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: talked a lot, so bold by nature probably, I mean,

800
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you think about all aspects aspects of

801
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: my life, relationships, financially, what's the worst case scenario? You

802
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: lose your money, you get dumped. Now, granted it's you

803
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: could argue it's easier to be bold. I don't have

804
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: two little kids running around, though, I don't know if

805
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: that would change that much. Uh Now, I don't know

806
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: if i'd put them in position where they couldn't eat.

807
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess bold by nature. Uh. You know,

808
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: it all probably comes back to your childhood and if

809
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: I really broke it down, and probably based on the

810
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: way I grew up and maybe things I disagreed within

811
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: my own home. If you really wanted to break it

812
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: down ways that went about it. I'm a little bit

813
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: more of a you just guns blazing free spirit weirdly though,

814
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: like pretty disciplined. It's a weird dichotomy. When did I

815
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: start losing my hair? I remember being in college and

816
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: seeing hair follicles on my desk and I was like,

817
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm in some trouble. Then I became a g at

818
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Fresno State right after I graduated from cal Poly. So

819
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: I was like four years old and it started going.

820
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: And then by my first year in Philly I was bald.

821
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: So it it happened pretty fast. I was full. I

822
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: was full gone, probably by you know, less than a

823
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: decade ago, I think two thousand and eleven, maybe eight

824
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: nine years ago. Where and why all this ground swell

825
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: for Kaepernick, Like all of a sudden he's good enough

826
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: to play again. If he was this good, where was

827
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: all this swell last year or the year before. I'm

828
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: sure the Bears could have used him. To me, it

829
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: seems a little too much overcorrection given the current climate

830
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: of the country, Almost as if they're using Colin as

831
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: a proverbial band aid to say, hey, we gave him

832
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: his chance. We're all about the movement now, ding ding ding,

833
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: ding ding Ding. I think you nailed it. Now. Clearly

834
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: there are a lot of members of the media that

835
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: think he got screwed. He got black balled, Like, no

836
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: one with a straight face can deny he got black balled.

837
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: But four or five years later he sues the league

838
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: to think that, you know, in his early thirties now

839
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: haven't played football in five or six years, he's a good,

840
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, candidate to be signed. I saw someone tweet

841
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: the other day like, hey, guys, remember Cam Newton, right,

842
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean if I was Cam Newton, Like, hey, guys,

843
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: black quarterback here was in been in the league? Hand up?

844
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: Can can someone sign me? Uh? But yeah, I mean

845
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: again this is back to the media. I think the

846
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: media pushes it more than fans or whatever. They just

847
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: ride with whatever they think will generate. Really, I think

848
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: because of social media, they just follow and once it

849
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: becomes like likes and atta boys, and they do that. Now, Listen,

850
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: Colin should not have been blackballed out of the NFL,

851
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: And in terms of his talent, he was talented enough

852
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: to be in the league when they basically got the

853
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: boot and no one signed him. That's and trust me,

854
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: I was a critic of him that last couple of years.

855
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: He wasn't good. Like this notion that he was good

856
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: because his numbers with Chip Kelly. He was not good.

857
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: I watched it. All these media members that helicopter in

858
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: like check his numbers. No I did. I watched every game,

859
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: every snap. I know you didn't because the team went

860
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: to and fourteen worst year and nine are history. Let

861
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: me repeat that, worst year and nine are history. I

862
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: watched it. He was terrible, but his resume shouldn't been

863
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: out of the league. I think also the media uses

864
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: him politically, and as I've said over and over, people,

865
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: well forget this. He's not pro Democrat. He thinks they're

866
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: both frounds. So it it's become very political. Uh. I

867
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: doubt he gets signed. I I really do. Maybe I'm

868
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: off on this one, but I will be. I'll be stunned. Um,

869
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, I know. I went on Colin Show What

870
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: Day Is Thursday? Anthony Lynn talked about the workout list

871
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: like a lot Dez Bryants on workout lists. You know,

872
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you can put anyone on a workout list.

873
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Don't judge people off

874
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: words judge people of actions now. Granted, you can't work

875
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: him out technically right now because everything going on the country.

876
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I'll be shocked if he's

877
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL this fall. But I hear you. Am

878
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: I crazy to think that a six year, hundred fifty

879
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: million dollar extension of Mahomes could work all fully guaranteed?

880
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, that would be the most guaranteed

881
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: cash in the history of the NFL. And when leave

882
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: enough cap space for savvy veteran signings for players who

883
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: have earned their cash and are chasing a ring factor

884
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: in beaches so far, proven ability to scout and draft

885
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: and read spags, coaching ability. I think it could be

886
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: a I think it could be a good move for Ksey.

887
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: Am I missing something? Sorry for the wordy question. I

888
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: just think Mahomes is the perfect combination of good enough

889
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: to break the bank, but humble enough to understand what

890
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: it takes to win. So a D fifty divide six,

891
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: here's your problem. That's why I thought it was. You

892
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: can't pay him an average dollars a year. It's like

893
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: what Derek Carr makes, So could you pay him less guarantee.

894
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: The average has to be like forty million dollars because

895
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna get both, he's got all the leverage m

896
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: v P, Super Bowl Star cash Cow. To me, his

897
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: number minimum, even if he's taken a hometown discount, is

898
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: like thirty million, and then maybe it's a hundred fifty million,

899
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: but it's like five year deal. So five year deal,

900
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: that would be thirty million dollars a year. Yeah, just

901
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: I think it's complicated. Now, would he take a thirty

902
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: million dollar a year fifty fully guaranteed? Maybe something like that. Now,

903
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: do the camc Chiefs that you gotta put a hundred

904
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars into escrow immediately because the NFL is

905
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: stupid salary cap rules. But it's a complicated issue for sure.

906
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: Curious about your thoughts on shortening the distance the ball

907
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: has to travel on a kickoff to be recoverable. This

908
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: would keep special teams an important part of football and

909
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: make for an exciting play. Yeah, I mean, I think

910
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: ten yards is okay. What are you gonna do five

911
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: and have players five yards across from each other? You know,

912
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: It's just I'm not trying to hate on special teams

913
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: because I respect it. It's a big part of the game.

914
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: It's a hard part of the game. But you know,

915
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: I think that becomes a little kind of a f

916
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: l XFL like at the end of the day. We

917
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: don't really talk about kickoffs unless you return it to

918
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: the house. We care about just kicking out of bounds

919
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: or you know, kicking in the end zone. Let mahomes

920
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson come on the field. You talked about buying

921
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: Mary Jane Stock on the last pot. Are there any

922
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: specific companies you're buying right now or what companies do

923
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: you think get into the game. Sorry, if you're not

924
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: in additioning out hot stop, hot stock tips, keep doing

925
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: your thing, dude. Yeah, I mean, I'm listen. I'm not

926
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: a day trader. I've just picked three weed companies. They

927
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: actually are all based in Canada. I don't know if

928
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good. A couple of them are backed

929
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: by big, Big Constellation. They own Corona and Madelo. I

930
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard of them, number one beers

931
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: in America. Another one's backed by City Bank. So I

932
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: just picked some companies that have been really high before

933
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: they're low right now. I don't know if they're gonna hit.

934
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: So if you don't have the money, don't invest. They

935
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: might never amount to anything. Now I've put five figures

936
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: in all three because I'm just betting in the next

937
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: several years they get big. Do I know, No, Is

938
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: it a risky move? Yes, I feel like Portnoy here

939
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: talking about the day trading. But I'm I don't know.

940
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: I am pretty confident one of them is gonna hit.

941
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: Maybe both A C B, C g C and T

942
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: L R Y are the three handles that I picked.

943
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: Now again, they're all pretty low. I think ones under ten.

944
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: I think C g C is like seventeen, and Tilleries

945
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: like twelve. I I'd have to check today. Uh, Tilleries

946
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: eight fifty six, A CBS thirteen and and C g

947
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: C seventeen. So I'm just kind of They're all based

948
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: in Canada. Uh, we have deals with them. Do your

949
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: research if you want. I'm not a big research guy,

950
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: and I just get some basics. Do I believe in

951
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: the industry? Do I believe in a company or do

952
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: I see major companies investing in that company? I'm not

953
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm not Mr Jim Kramer here. I've made some money

954
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: in the stock mare, I've lost some money. It's fun though,

955
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: it is, you know, and if you know these sweed

956
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: stocks go to the go to the moon. I'm gonna

957
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: be buying myself a home. Uh. What are the three

958
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: NFL organizations you would least want to be drafted to?

959
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: What NFL teams could you most see becoming a dynasty

960
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: over the next five to ten years. I would say

961
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I would say that Jacksonville Jaguars, and I

962
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: would say that's a tough one. On the third mm

963
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: hmm Bengals easy number one for me. Jaguars too. I

964
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: was gonna say the Charges, but they're in l a

965
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: and they got a bunch of sweet players, but their

966
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: owners a clown. But other than that, I mean there,

967
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 1: franchise is kind of irrelevant. But if you're a player,

968
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: you have a chance to win. Oh, the Lions. Let

969
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: me rephray. I would go Lions one, I'd go Bengals two,

970
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: and I would go Jacksonville Jaguars. Three teams would be

971
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: a dynasty the next five to ten years. I think

972
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: it's two teams on the Super Bowl. Mahomes and Andy

973
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy and just the forty niners

974
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: and just his ability to coach. So I'd say it

975
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: will be those two teams. Appreciate everyone listening. I'll get

976
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: you out here. It's like we're already about fifty two minutes.

977
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: Enjoy the day. Thanks again for every everything. I appreciate

978
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: all the kind words. UH. If you haven't leave a

979
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: review on on the Apple page, I greatly appreciate it.

980
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: God speed, enjoy the week and uh weekend, and stay safe.
