1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on, everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: I thought I'd do a little Saturday mail bag, but

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: I also I recorded the mail bag during the day,

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: but I waited till Notre Dame absolutely beat down the Hoosiers.

5
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Don't let the twenty seven to seventeen score fool you,

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: So I did a little recap of what we all

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: just witnessed. Notre Dame now headed to play Georgia. I

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: want to say the Semis, but it's actually the quarterfinals.

9
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep up with everything in this new

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: playoff format. But we got three more games tomorrow as

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: well as NFL games, so we'll stuff up on YouTube,

12
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: probably have a podcast out combined the two of them

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: as well for Sunday. We've got so much content. The

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: games on Sunday are not great. Saturday actually is dramatically

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: better than Sunday. So I thought, you know, it's right

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: around Christmas time, so we're gonna chill a little next week.

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: We might as well grind it hard, and want to say,

18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: grind it hard, watch football and talk about it. So

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: I was actually really excited to watch this game. The pregame,

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: you could argue, was cooler than the actual game, but

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame fans, you should be fired up. That's

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: a big win. Get a playoff win from Marcus Freeman.

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: And the little story that it was Indiana that we

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: will have to we might have to just talk about

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: right off the bat because that was bad and in

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: a long, long mail bag. So at John Middlecoff fire

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: in those dms. I have so many questions. I know

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys that have asked me questions

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: haven't got your question answered yet. I'm not trying to

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: avoid you or circumvent your question. I just I just

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: have a lot and there's no perfect way to do it,

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, on the Instagram, my guy Zuckerberg, you can't

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: like filter it like Excel spreadsheets or anything. So I

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: just kind of go as they come in. So if

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I miss you, I promise you I am not avoiding you,

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get your question. But it's just

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: comes with the territory. So make sure you subscribe to

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: to start tonight. You know this. Obviously, Notre Dame is

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: one of the biggest brands in all of sports, college

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: or pro. There's something powerful about the helmets. Just when

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: you see that gold kind of shining in the light.

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: How cool it was. And listen before we get negative

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: on anything, this playoff is awesome. This home field game

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: at Penn State at Notre Dame at Ohio State at

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Texas is badass. The only people to get kind of

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: screwed are these teams with a bye because of the

63
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: power of these New Year six Bowls that they also

64
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: don't get a home game. If I was commissioner or

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: czar of this entire thing, I would figure out a way.

66
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: One I would expand it to sixteen teams and every

67
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: single team, whether you play in the first round or

68
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: get that home field by or you know, the first

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: round by, you get a home game. That was very,

70
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: very powerful. My buddy was there. He kept sending me pictures.

71
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Looked awesome. It's a special atmosphere. These college teams are

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: used to getting home games in the middle of December,

73
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: let alone late December or January first. So I'm pro

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl and pro the Orange Bowl, like I like

75
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: some of the Bulls. We can save that till the

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: semi finals, and I think we got to find a

77
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: way to have this happen more often. Because game day

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: leading up on campus was sabing there dudes kicking the

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: field goal with McAfee the lead in for like ten

80
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: minutes before kickoff, the band playing it was awesome, Like,

81
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: sign me up. We're all on board with home playoff

82
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: games now before we get to Notre Dame and they

83
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: get a big win, they're off to play Georgia. We

84
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: will dive into their potential hopes not just against Georgia,

85
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: but for the rest of this tournament. One of the

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: biggest stories all year was Indiana, and I think we

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: have to separate two things because in a vacuum, their

88
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: season wasn't credible. They won eleven games. Go to their

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Football Reference record page. They had never won double digit games.

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: They said at the beginning of the kickoff, No program

91
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: in like Power five Division one history has had less

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: success than Indiana. So what Signetti and the program accomplished

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: on a historic basketball program was awesome. I don't care

94
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: who you're playing. You could be playing the Sisters of

95
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: the Poor, the School of the Blind, Eastern Illinois, Nebraska,

96
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You win eleven games in Indiana, that is awesome.

97
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: And then I think we have to factor in. We're

98
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: in this college football playoffs and we're not looking for

99
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: cute stories. We're not looking for this is awesome. Let's

100
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: give them a shot. We're looking for the best teams.

101
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: And in the NFL, even if you play in a

102
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: crappy division, you play another division from the other conference,

103
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: and you also play another division from your own conference.

104
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: So it's also it's almost unavoidable that you're playing a

105
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: handful of really good teams and if you end up

106
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: with nine to ten wins or obviously more, it's impossible

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: to not have a couple good wins on your schedule.

108
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Plus everybody in the pros is wait for it, a

109
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: pro and I think there's become this big discodec because

110
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: everyone views the SECS as like the football elites. You

111
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: can't talk any sense into them. They just believe to

112
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: their soul that they are dramatically better than everyone else.

113
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: And based on recent history, the NFL Draft, national championships,

114
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and success in the playoffs, I think it speaks for itself.

115
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: But like we have lumped in the Big ten with

116
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: the SEC almost like they are equals now with the

117
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: SEC adding Oregon obviously that is a massive addition, one

118
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: of the better programs in the country over the last

119
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: twenty years. But on the whole, the teams Indiana was

120
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: beating this year, no one cares that you destroyed Nebraska, honestly,

121
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: and listen, Signetti is I like big personalities in sports.

122
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: They're fun to talk about, they're fun to watch, they

123
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: create a lot of fun storylines, but football at that level,

124
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: at obviously the NFL level, are extremely difficult. It's why

125
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: I would say the two best NFL coaches of my

126
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: adult life don't really talk that much shit when they're

127
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: coaching about anyone else. Andy Reid and Bill Belichick. If anything,

128
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: they're the opposite. They build you up. They could be

129
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: playing a winless team. Belichick was classic for this, and

130
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: if they're playing a really good team, they act like

131
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: they're the greatest things since sliced bread. And even in college,

132
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Saban was very careful with his words. Kirby, while very emotional,

133
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: very hesitant to like shit. On another program, Signetti coaching

134
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: at Indiana, runs around like he's Bear Bryant meets Bill

135
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Walsh combined with Vince Lombardi. And I'll promise you this

136
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: next year. I google their schedule. They're playing Penn State,

137
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Iowa and Oregon on the road. These teams in that

138
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: conference are going to be looking to beat the living

139
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: crap out of him because he never shuts up. Great season,

140
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: incredible story. He had no business being in this game.

141
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: He really didn't. And one thing we learned tonight, and

142
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: I think anyone with a brain that has followed. The

143
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: sport records aren't all equal, and trying to compare records

144
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: in college football is kind of stupid. How could anyone

145
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: compare Boise States record of playing a Mountain West schedule

146
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: to Ole Miss or South Carolina's records playing an SEC schedule.

147
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: It's like comparing apples to cheeseburgers in Indiana. Through ninety

148
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: five percent of this game, they didn't have one hundred

149
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: and fifty yards of offense with five minutes left to

150
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: go in this game. And Notre Dame's good and who knows,

151
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: maybe they could beat Georgia, but that's not exactly lou

152
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: Holtz Notre Dame team. I would imagine this team's not

153
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: as good as I'm a Brian Kelly's Notre Dame team.

154
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: It's a good team, but that was JV vers varsity. Immediately,

155
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: it reminded me a little bit of the Bears Vikings

156
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: game from Monday Night Football. I would say less than

157
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: ten minutes into actual play of the game, you knew

158
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: right away they have no chance to win the game.

159
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: And in games like this, I always laugh when people

160
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: on social media was like, I can't believe he putted

161
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: down seventeen points. Like, guys, nothing he does matters, absolutely nothing.

162
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: It's like they got a really good quarterback. Well, yeah,

163
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: he looks good playing Minnesota at home in September. How

164
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: does he look against Ohio State or Notre Dame. He

165
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: looks like a guy like his brother, probably headed to

166
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: the CFL. And there's nothing wrong with that. Had a

167
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: great season. You can make decent money in the CFL.

168
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: But like when he plays real teams, does look like

169
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: a high end college quarterback, let alone an NFL prospect.

170
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: I like mel Kuiper, having them six on your big

171
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: board seems a little bold to me. And the team speed,

172
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: the athletes, and that's what when people that argue about

173
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: the SEC are simply saying, on a weekly basis, even

174
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: if we're playing a seven win team, they got three

175
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: or four guys on defense alone that are gonna be

176
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: drafted in the top four rounds. Two defensive linemen, a

177
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: linebacker in a safety, and those guys are hitting our

178
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: players on a snap in, snap out basis. That is

179
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: different than playing a team with maybe one draftable player

180
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: that's a right guard. It's not the same. And I

181
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: think Indiana tonight moving forward will really impact teams. If

182
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like they've beaten anybody, No one's gonna

183
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: give a shit what your record is, you know why,

184
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: because it does not matter, and there has to be

185
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: some level level of eye test. Are they good enough?

186
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Do they have any chance to compete? Right? Do they?

187
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: It's much different in the NCAA Tournament with college basketball,

188
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: because we allow sixty four teams in. So even if

189
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: you go, is this team really that good? Who cares

190
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: their seventh seed? When there's only twelve teams going and

191
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: obviously five teams because of automatic qualifiers get in, there

192
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: aren't that many at large bids, and everyone was making

193
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: this big deal. It's like, how could how are we

194
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: even discussing Alabama or South Carolina with their you know,

195
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: with their three losses or two losses or whatever. It's like, guys,

196
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: just watch the talent on one team and watch the

197
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: talent on the other team. I just looked at the

198
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: top twenty five, and once you pass Indiana and you

199
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: get out of the top the teams in the dance Alabama,

200
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: they're better than Ole, Miss is better. South Carolina is better,

201
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Missouri is better. They didn't play Illinois this year. I

202
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: would bet on Illinois straight up against Indiana. Colorado, who's

203
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: barely in the top twenty five, is a better team

204
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: than Indiana simply because they have better players. Their quarterback

205
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: top five guy, their best player, top five guy. They

206
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: have two guys on their team their top five draft

207
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: picks easily could go number one and two in the draft.

208
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching Indiana, like, do they got a guy going

209
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: in the first two rounds? Meanwhile, Notre Dame they have

210
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: a rotational pass rusher Bryant Young, who is a special

211
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: place in my heart because when I was a kid,

212
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers could not beat the Cowboys. And

213
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: then in nineteen ninety four they drafted a defensive tackle

214
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: from Brigham Young or from Notre Dame. And he came

215
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: and his name was Brian Young, and now his sons

216
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. And he's six foot seven and comes

217
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: off the edge. You're like, holy shit, that guy's got

218
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: a chance to be a first rounder. Promised you that

219
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: he'd get drafted right now, just off as measurables. It's like,

220
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: you think Indiana has a guy like that on their team,

221
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: let alone all the starters, all the stalwarts for this

222
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: you know program, the last couple of years, Notre Dame

223
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: every single years pumping guys in the league. Indiana is

224
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: the worst program in the history of college football. And

225
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: this is why, Well, it's like, how can we look

226
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: at what's happened in previous years? Now? Obviously that has

227
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: become more difficult with the transfer portal, with the movement.

228
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: But if like this program every year is pumping out

229
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: x number of players in the top three rounds to

230
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, that has to matter because this game,

231
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: especially college football, it's about the x's and the o's,

232
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: But on Saturdays, it's a lot about the Jimmy's and

233
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: the Joe's and how many guys on Indiana would start

234
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. And it's not like I'm balls deep

235
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: into every single roster in college football. But I can

236
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: watch a couple games. I can watch Indiana play four games.

237
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: I can watch Notre Dame play four games and have

238
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. I would imagine everyone's sitting on

239
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: their couch goes, yeah, they've maybe got a couple guys.

240
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: So out of the twenty two starters, how many of

241
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: the twenty two guys on Indiana would go to Notre

242
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: Dame who is probably like you know, we're gonna find

243
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: out against Georgia, a fringe top ten eight team in

244
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: the country. I think if you were being aggressive, you

245
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: would say five, probably have a couple of defensive lineman,

246
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: they clearly have a solid defense. Offensively, can't be many.

247
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: And if you're being conservative, you can say like two

248
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: or three. That's an enormous talent discrepancy. And what we

249
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: just had to witness was because like they factored in

250
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: and Sean McDonough and I'll give him credit in slow games,

251
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: and he used to do this on Monday Night football.

252
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: He can turn the broadcast into a podcast and he

253
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: can just start slinging takes and he essentially, I thought,

254
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: summed it up perfectly, Like we need to stop assuming

255
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: there are two power Conferences, right, because in the last

256
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: twenty years there's been one. And that's the SEC. That

257
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean on given years the Big ten is not

258
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: really good. Good last year is a good example at

259
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: their peak, like Ohio State and Michigan go toe to

260
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: toe with anybody. But this year, like we'll find out,

261
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: they got potentially two really good teams, maybe three, But

262
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: let's not act like they go five six deep, and

263
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: their middle and their bottom is simply not nearly as

264
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: good as the middle of the SEC when it comes

265
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: to talent on the roster. So being seven and five

266
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: in the SEC and being seven and five in the

267
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Big Ten, those are not equals. Just like going nine

268
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: and three in the Mountain West and going six and

269
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: six in the SEC. It doesn't mean just because the

270
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: team's got nine wins, it's way more impressive than going

271
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: six and six. We're playing a we're hiking two different

272
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: mountains here. One person's hiking Everest, the other guy's hiking

273
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: the hill in their backyard. That doesn't mean that playing

274
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: football is not hard. That doesn't mean that Indiana shouldn't

275
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: be proud of their season. But I think we learned

276
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: a lesson really quick. Indiana had no business being in

277
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: this dance none. And that was as easy of a

278
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: game as they could have. They had a fucking bus

279
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: ride to the stadium and they got molliwopped. That was embarrassing.

280
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: You look at if you didn't watch the game, you

281
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: look at the final score like, ah, a probably decent game. No,

282
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: it was terrible. It was awful. It was really really bad,

283
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: And I don't think Indiana should be embarrassed. They are

284
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: who they are. They've played two good teams and they

285
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: got worked in both of them. And we all of us,

286
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: because there's so much hype leading in because they had

287
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: created this like fraudulent standing, we kind of were like, ah,

288
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: so could something happen? And then obviously nothing did. And

289
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: on the flip side, Notre Dame Like, if this was

290
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: the NFL and let's say they were in the AFC

291
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and they had a couple of home games or every

292
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: team they were gonna play was gonna be in cold weather,

293
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: I'd say they could beat a lot of teams. I'd say, honestly,

294
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: they could compete for a national champion. I'm not saying

295
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: they could win it, but what they do well does work.

296
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: They have two really good running backs. They ran for

297
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: I think almost two hundred yards a night. Now. One

298
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: of the runs he actually took the hand off like

299
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: two yards deep, but it was a ninety eight yard run,

300
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: but he ran like one hundred and four yards. It

301
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: was sweet. But they're gonna be able to run for

302
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: should be able to run for one hundred yards against

303
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: good teams or just could have some success on the

304
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: ground and Defensively, they're really good. They have a really

305
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: good defensive line. Obviously they got feistydb's. They're well coached,

306
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: they're physical, they're tough. Like that translates and in games

307
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: in the teams or the twenties or it's hard to

308
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: throw the ball around. I would say they have a

309
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: very good chance. The problem is is their next game

310
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: is in New Orleans in a dome against Georgia, so

311
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: it does neutralize the strength obviously they were playing. I mean,

312
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: comparing Indiana to Georgia would be like comparing an NFL

313
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: team to modern day high school in southern California, who's

314
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: obviously really good. But I was pretty impressed. I think

315
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: they're pretty solid. If they can play their way, their

316
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: one downfall is gonna be And there was a lot

317
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: of hype on this player coming in, and he seems

318
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: like an incredible guy. He's obviously a really tough motherfucker.

319
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch the way the guy compeatch. He's

320
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: just a fantastic kind of playmaker runner. Can't he throw

321
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: the ball well enough? And they obviously went all in

322
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: on him. They paid him a lot of money. His

323
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: numbers don't look terrible tonight twenty three to thirty two,

324
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice deep passes, made some nice

325
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: plays on the run throwing the ball. I just don't

326
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna be a good enough passer to

327
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: beat the GEORGIEA defense. Now there's a big wild card.

328
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart was on game day and basically acknowledge, like

329
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: Carson Beck. You know, in college football, unlike the pros,

330
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to there's no injury reports, so you

331
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: could be very mysterious about what's going on, like did

332
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: he get the brock Purdy UCL injury? Is he for

333
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: the season? Is he not? Kirby Smart essentially I would

334
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: say acknowledge like, yeah, he's gone. He's not here anymore,

335
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: like his season's over. We'll find out more and more

336
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the combine, like what the

337
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: hell is going on Schefter and those guys. I'm sure

338
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: we'll break the news sooner than later. But playing a

339
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, you never know. Now, Indiana's defense is solid

340
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: and it's actually it's actually not bad at all. George's

341
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: defense on a completely different level, and when they bring

342
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: their a game as we've seen, you know against Texas,

343
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna be tough, So can Notre Dame run the

344
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: ball effectively against them? Can they pass it well enough

345
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: to just keep them honest? But that is a fantastic game.

346
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean that this tonight was underwhelming. I mean, I'm

347
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: glad and happy that we all experienced the first night

348
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: of the playoffs at Notre Dame felt cool, felt big.

349
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: But Indiana playing a part in that was a little

350
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: bit of a letdown. Georgia Notre Dame is a fantastic

351
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: game on paper. I also think it's a big game

352
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame, right. I would say, in the Brian

353
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: Kelly era, up until this upcoming game, they've had some

354
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: of these moments and it felt like they've shun't come

355
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: up a little short. This would be as big of

356
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: a win as I can remember. To beat Kirby Smart,

357
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: to beat Georgia. Obviously, Georgia gets the extra rest, even

358
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: with the backup quarterback. I mean, George's got three or

359
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: four guys on defense that are gonna go I don't know,

360
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: in the top thirty picks and Notre Dame. I was

361
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: impressed because the toughness, the defense, the running game, Love's

362
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: run was sweet, the crazy thing is he had a

363
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: ninety eight yard run and he had one hundred and

364
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: eight yards total on eight carries, So it's always good.

365
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: I thought McElroy had a good point. He's like coaches

366
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: love doing you know, if you just take out that

367
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: one run, we did a pretty good job, right, if

368
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: you remove that one run. Notre Dame actually ran for

369
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: under one hundred yards. But that's not the way it works, right,

370
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: It's like, no, that run actually happened, and that was

371
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: seven points. That's part of the total. It's like, well,

372
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: if we just didn't have the two go routes that

373
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: Randy Moss took for a total of one hundred and

374
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: forty yards, you know, we would have done pretty wellid defense, Well,

375
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: those two things happened, So I'm fired up for that

376
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: game already. I came in actually parlaid Notre Dame tonight.

377
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: With the three games tomorrow, I took Penn State, I

378
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: took Clemson money line, and I took Tennessee. I think

379
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: I took Tennessee in the points. Also, I got a

380
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: little bowl. I had like one hundred bucks left. I

381
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: think I also threw the Texans plus three and a half,

382
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: so we got a long way to go, but we're

383
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: one down, four to go. But nice win for Notre Dame.

384
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Cool moment in Indiana. Nice knowing you, I would say

385
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: if you go six and six next year, I'd be impressed.

00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: with UH with a question if you had to pick

418
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: one player from this draft class to be in the

419
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, who would it be? Personally? I would

420
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: say alt, with an honorable mention for Bowers. I think

421
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: the hard part about skill guys. You know Bowers neighbors

422
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: Rome running backs whoever is so much as out of

423
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: their control. You know, Bowers, for as awesome as he is,

424
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: what if his quarterback play for like the first five

425
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: years of his career as a disaster. It's hard to

426
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: overcome that to get true great and stuff. If you

427
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: told me Bowers was playing with like Herbert, I'd be like,

428
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: hell yeah, I would say Alt is a pretty good choice.

429
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: I would say Mitchell, the Eagles corner has a chance

430
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: to be pretty freaking good. You know, like a four

431
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: or five six time All Pro. One of the defensive linemen,

432
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: whether it's first, whether it's Dallas Turner, Byron Murphy, one

433
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: of those guys I think could be pretty good. But

434
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: I like your ALT pick. I would probably go with

435
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: the corner Mitchell for the Eagles because some of those guys,

436
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: like if you're an elite offensive tackle or an elite corner,

437
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: you can overcome no matter what, even a quarterback, like

438
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: what if Cliff Kingsbury leaves and that derails Jaden bo Nicks.

439
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: It's so hard with quarterbacks. But he's his coach is

440
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: going to be there, you think for a while. Last

441
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: mail bag, you had a question about your gym routine.

442
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: I was wondering if I wrote you up a routine,

443
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: if you'd give it a shot for a few months

444
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: and see how you liked it. I played low level

445
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: college football, and once I was done, I shifted my

446
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: focus to lifting. Since I didn't need to block defensive

447
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: ends anymore, I wanted to lose some weight. I lost

448
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: twenty pounds in six months and kept my strength. Let

449
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: me know if you'd be interested. Yeah, shoot me my email.

450
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: You send me some circuits, I'll bang those out. I'm

451
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: just looking to tighten up the bod, not looking to

452
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, deadlift, heavy weight or anything. But fire me,

453
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: fire me an email for the bag. If Kyle could

454
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: have a do over, do you think they would have

455
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: elected to roll with Darnold over Purty. I understand they

456
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl last year, but we saw

457
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: Tomlin bench fields this year at four and one. It

458
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: feels like a whiff that they had seem in the

459
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: building now. I mean, brock Purty is in a different universe,

460
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: and brock Perty's better player. Russell Wilson like the Steelers

461
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: would die to have brock Purty. I think if they

462
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: had a do over, what they would have done is

463
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk would not be on this team. They would

464
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: have traded Brandon Ayuk around the draft, and even if

465
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: that meant like they didn't want to eat not getting

466
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: a first round pick, I think if they could do

467
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: it over again, they would have traded him for a

468
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: second and a third round pick and freed up their

469
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: money and given them a lot more flexibility. I think

470
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: that's one move that they would like to do over

471
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: because that thing became just a disaster situation for them.

472
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: And my guy Kawakami who Kyle and John and that

473
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: organization Wow, who covers the forty nine Ers and the Warriors,

474
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: and a Berry guy, he said they will never go

475
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: through that again. And that was an experience of like

476
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: talking to a wall. You know. I think any one

477
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: of you listening with little kids when you're trying to

478
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: reason with a little kid, and it's just it's like,

479
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: what this is pointless? That's what I think it felt

480
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: like with the forty nine Ers dealing with Brandon Ayuk, Like, Bro,

481
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: we're offering you a lot of money. What are we

482
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: doing these fake trades that you keep saying no to?

483
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: It was a low level negotiation, it really was, and

484
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: I think they regret it. They really do. And I'm

485
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: not even talking about the injury. You can never know.

486
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: Who knows. He might never be the same, and even

487
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: if he's fully healthy, I just think, why are you

488
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: paying that guy that much money? It didn't make that

489
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: much sense to me at the time. He's never going

490
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: to catch more than seventy five eighty balls in your offense.

491
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: I just at least Debo in theory was a very

492
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: pal player when they extended them and could do a

493
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: lot like I don't know, I just invest in the

494
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I went to UC Davis. I can't

495
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: believe you grew up in that college town. I don't

496
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: know how old you are. But when I go back,

497
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: and I'm actually flying back on Monday for the week

498
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: and then we'll come back on Saturday, the town and

499
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's when you're growing up. There's a youthful naivete.

500
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: There's just you're not really thinking about life when you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

501
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: like you do as you age. You're just trying to

502
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: play football, hang out with your buddies, you know, Chase,

503
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: some babes, just trying to enjoy hang out, have your

504
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: parents off your back, you go back in the town

505
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: seems a lot different, you know. I honestly, when I

506
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: go back to downtown Davis, it feels a lot different

507
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: than the town that I grew up in. Now. Granted,

508
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: I graduated high school in two thousand and three, so

509
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking in twenty years is a long

510
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: long time, and I haven't lived there since I left

511
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 1: high school to go to college. But it definitely feels

512
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: dramatically different. But yeah, it was a cool place to

513
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: grow up. I'm curious what your thoughts are on a

514
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: blockbuster trade. The Bengals trade Burrow for Hurts and some picks,

515
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: similar to what the Rams did with goth and Stafford.

516
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman seems like he's always looking to improve. I mean,

517
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles move on from Wentz, Foles Doug Peterson pretty

518
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: damn quick. Plus I assume Burrow is getting tired of

519
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals. There's just Howie would do that trade so fast,

520
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: he would drive Jalen Hurts to Cincinnati. That the Bengals

521
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: are not trading Joe Burrow. It makes no sense for

522
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: them to trade Joe Burrow. I mean, they got into

523
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: a knockdown, drag out with Carson Palmer years ago and

524
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: he had to sit out. It's just not gonna happen.

525
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: I'll not now, I'm not saying ever, but he's he's

526
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna be on the Bengals. He just is talking in

527
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five if you were, can you imagine being

528
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati Bengal fan and trading Joe Burrow for shitty

529
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: as this season is and it sucks, technically, they're still

530
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: alive a pretty big game coming up against the Broncos. Actually,

531
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: I kept acting like the Broncos are a lock playoff team.

532
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: They do need to probably win one of these last

533
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: two games if Cincinnati wins out, But like you can't

534
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: even entertain if you would even entertain that you should

535
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: sell the franchise, which is stupid. They're not going to

536
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: sell the franchise, but you know what I mean, Like,

537
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: he's just you don't trade he's the best. I think

538
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: he's the most talented player they've ever had. Now the

539
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: Broncos finished with Cincinnati in a week, now, they get

540
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: that extra rest and Cincinnati play who they play this week,

541
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the Browns, So I think Denver could really If Denver

542
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: loses that game, they're in pretty good shape. If Joe

543
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: Burrow was available, I don't even think you can. I

544
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: don't think any of us can fathom the aggression by

545
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I mean individual teams, general managers and

546
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: coaches to get in on that. That would be like, uh,

547
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: it'd be like you know Yatis is available, right, or

548
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, like when Otani or Juan Soto was available

549
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: and like five teams were lined up to pay six

550
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to seven hundred million dollars, that would

551
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: be the equivalent of a trade. It may be hard

552
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: to predict, just because a lot depends on coaching and quarterback.

553
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: But who do you think the next great dynasty in

554
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: the NFL? Like the Patriots beside the Chiefs, some might

555
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: consider the Chiefs of dynasty. And I agree, if they

556
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: win it this year, well they already got a mini dynasty.

557
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: They've been to four Super Bowls and whatever six years

558
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: they've won three of them. They are currently the number

559
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: one overall seed. I mean it's them, their coach, quarterback,

560
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: their general manager, their infrastructure is not going their defensive coordinator.

561
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: They're just not gonna go away now, not every year.

562
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: They're going to be thirteen twelve and one or the

563
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: number one seed some one year, they're gonna be eleven

564
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: and six. I think they were last year and they

565
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: want to like they just they are the dynasty. Like

566
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: there is no other even remotely close team in a conversation.

567
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: So I think it's just them. We're in the middle

568
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: of their dynasty, which is cool. Longtime listener, lifelong Eagles fan.

569
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: Although I'm not the biggest Siriani guy, I'm wondering why

570
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: he seems to be treated more and fairly by the

571
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: media and the league than other coaches. So many are

572
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: quick to say what does he do no one hand,

573
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: while totally glazing the other leader of men CEO type

574
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: coaches like Harbaughs, Campbell, EGC. I just don't think the

575
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: media are quick to dump all the blame on him

576
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: and none of the credit for the team's achievement. It

577
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: can't be both. Fact is he's forty six to nineteen

578
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: as the Eagles coach and has them on the franchise's

579
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: longest winning streak after being on the hot seat, and

580
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: he's not even remotely in the discussion for Coach of

581
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: the Year. I think his awkward personality may just be

582
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: off putting. Yeah, I think there are a lot of factors.

583
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: I think last year was pretty glaring. I think anytime

584
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: he's a pretty big front runner, at least he was

585
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: before this year. And I think that rubbed a lot

586
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: of people the wrong way. There were articles like the

587
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: quarterback wouldn't even talk to him last year. It doesn't

588
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: feel like he was behind Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio.

589
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: Right organization hired them. I would also say the organization

590
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: when you say, like Howie and Jeffrey Lurie almost feel

591
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: bigger than the coach. Right, Like they had Doug Peterson

592
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: and they won a Super Bowl and they be Bill

593
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: Belichick and Tom Brady and then they ran him out

594
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: of town. And I like Doug a lot, Like he's

595
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: been very cool to me. I enjoy Doug Peterson. Anyone

596
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: that knows Doug likes Doug. But like, watch him in Jacksonville.

597
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: He's not very good. Like if you remove Sirianni from

598
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: the infrastructure that Luriy and Howie provide and put him

599
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: on the Giants, it no one has any faith that

600
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. I think, and when I

601
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: say knows what he's doing, I meant like, is the

602
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: guy driving this bus. Does he do something for sure?

603
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Obviously he leads the team meeting, talks the guys of practice,

604
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: calls up the huddle after a win. But I think

605
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: you know Harbaugh his Let's use Jim Harbaugh like it's

606
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: tangible what he does. We've seen him six different places,

607
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: they all win big. Just look at the Thursday night game.

608
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's impact is undeniable Michigan, Stanford, Niners, San Diego,

609
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: now the Chargers. Like it's honestly pretty crazy how good

610
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: he is. And then you watch Jon Payton. There's just

611
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: also no denying what he does. It's like, well, he

612
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: calls the offensive game and he coaches the quarterback. And

613
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: I think you go around like Dan Campbell brought life.

614
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: You use people use Campbell as an example here, it's

615
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: like he took over the Lions. Do you know how

616
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: insane that is? To take over the Lions and have

617
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: them this good, this fast. It's one of the craziest

618
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: things I've ever seen in sports. Hey, John, I wanted

619
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: to give your heads up. The word salacious does not

620
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: mean what you think it means. I've been hearing you

621
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: use it a lot. Here's the definition having or conveying

622
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: undo or inappropriate interest in sexual manners. The context I've

623
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: heard of you is the guy took a salacious hit.

624
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson's story was salatious, not trying to be the

625
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: Voca Police, but wanted to give you a heads up. Well,

626
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: the I hear what you're saying. We could have used

627
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: a better adjective there than silatious. The Woody Johnson Mike

628
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: White was naked in the shower and slamming his helmet,

629
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: and that's when Woody was saying that you should slam

630
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: your helmet. You suck. We could use a different word

631
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: for big hits. But I hear what you're saying. Yeah, listen,

632
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: I'm not acting. I'm not your typical big jay here.

633
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: Well read yeah. I don't know if that's something someone

634
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: would put right in front of my name. Probably should

635
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: read more. I use your game time code to buy

636
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: tickets to Jerry's World to see Baker play Sunday Night Football.

637
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong Sooner fan and this will be the

638
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: first time I get to say see Baker play live. I

639
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: had a cop for Baker. I was curious to hear

640
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: your opinion of I told my friends recently that I

641
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: thought he is an upgrade version of Jeff Garcia. He's

642
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: a little bit thicker with a stronger arm. They both

643
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 1: have ended up in Tampa after bouncing around their first

644
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: successful spot, and even have close to the same career record.

645
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: Baker just passed Garcia in career touchdown passes this past weekend,

646
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: which I didn't even know until I looked it up.

647
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: But I also was curious to hear your thoughts on

648
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: your opinion on the question. I tuned into Cleveland media

649
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: periodically to hear them cope about Baker's success, and they

650
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: still say he was a bust. What do you think

651
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: the number one draft pick has to achieve? Not to

652
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is one million percent not a bust. You

653
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: can't be a bust when you signed second contracts for

654
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. I mean, I mean busts are Leaf,

655
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: Achille Smith, JaMarcus Russell. I mean it's guy Trey Lance.

656
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: It is just guy that just you know, whether it's

657
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: character stuff or whether it's ability, just can't play in

658
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, Baker Mayfield's about to lead a

659
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: team back to back years of the playoffs. Baker Mayfield's

660
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: a really good player. I mean Jeff Garcia. I do

661
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: think their styles are a little different. I would say

662
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Garcia. Trying to think of a Jeff Garcia comp

663
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts not perfect. Jeff Garcia was like a movement,

664
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: run around, make throws guy. I felt kind of undersized,

665
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: not a huge arm. It's kind of a gamer. So

666
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: he does have some similarities to Baker. Their play is

667
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: very salacious, not just kidding. Well, talk about Cleveland. That's

668
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: a salacious story. Yeah, I don't know. I guess I

669
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: don't even know what the question Cleveland. Sometimes I think

670
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: you see this a lot, like when a guy leaves

671
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: a company or people break up that they go on

672
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: somewhere else to start their own thing, or go work

673
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: for someone else and have a lot of success, maybe

674
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: more success that they previously had at their old spot

675
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: or that. You know. You see this a lot. You

676
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: know on Instagram, someone breaks up with someone two people

677
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, and then she like starts dating this really

678
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: successful guy and maybe they get married and like have kids.

679
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: You're like, damn shit. But maybe there those actions are

680
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: independent of each other. It was like the previous relationship

681
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: was not going to work. So whether she went and

682
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: dated the next Jeff Bezos or dated you know, the

683
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: local plumber. Shout out to plumber, I actually probably need

684
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: one right now. My water pressure's kind of weak. But

685
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: like it had nothing to do with the like that

686
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,959
Speaker 1: relationship had to end. And once something ends, you don't

687
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: control what happens to them. It's no different football. It's

688
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: like if the if a guy's playing for me in

689
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, you see this, I guess now in college too,

690
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: with the transfer portal and I'm going to cut you

691
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: or I'm going to tell you, like you're not going

692
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: to play here. You should hit the transfer portal. You

693
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: might go on and become an incredible player, and there's

694
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: nothing I can do about it. It was like you

695
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: weren't It wasn't working out here. And sometimes you know,

696
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: whether it's freedom, whether it's a newfound perspective you're able

697
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: to uh, I don't know, like you know, get like

698
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: a new lease on life, and then opportunities that wouldn't

699
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: have arose previously are available. So I think the Baker thing,

700
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: like Kim in Cleveland just weren't going to work after

701
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: a while, Like it had to end. Now they didn't

702
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: have to give Deshaun that money, but they did. Would

703
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: you agree that Herbert is today's version of Stafford? I

704
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: say this because everyone knows the difference between a football

705
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: and a ball. Gown can see that he's a talented

706
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: and very good quarterback. Because he because of lack of

707
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: coaching in front office and aptitude, he hasn't had success.

708
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: I would say the main difference is is Stafford never

709
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: got his Jim Harbaugh, and now that he gets his

710
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. I would anyone be shocked if, in like

711
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, three or four years, that team is in

712
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs, unless there's some salacious story that comes out

713
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: that derails everything. Thanks for the Game Time plug. I

714
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: was always able to score tickets to see whatever is

715
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: left of Lincoln Park that spring for a hell of

716
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: a deal Mike Shee was going to see in Lincoln Park,

717
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: which I'm glad. Thanks for using the promo code. Well,

718
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: I guess game time, thanks you, but we appreciate that

719
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: you know the transaction, I mean part of Lincoln Park,

720
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean not having Chester. Isn't that, you know, kind

721
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: of the key to the band. But hope they were

722
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: good mail back question, I want to know your thoughts

723
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: on the Lions' chances to win the Super Bowl are

724
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: truly over due to injuries. It looks like they're planning

725
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: on getting some significant players over the coming weeks and

726
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: throughout the playoffs. They do seem like a show of

727
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: themselves defensively with losing Davis and McNeil, but they should

728
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: be getting Jalen Reeves Maven back for the Bears, as

729
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: well as another dB with Angeloni coming back as well

730
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. I'm not a huge I think you

731
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: got to be careous. It's one thing it's like, hey,

732
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be back in a week or two, okay, right,

733
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: and then some of those like hey this guy could

734
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: be back for the second round or the NFC, Like

735
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big question mark when you have a

736
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: guy like coming back off a hamstring or an injury

737
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: that's now been three or four weeks and he's gone.

738
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: And then some of these he should make it back

739
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, and that's a Hutchinson thing, like maybe

740
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 1: he could make the NFC ship maybe, But I don't know.

741
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's really really hard to

742
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: overcome what they're having to overcome. I think the best

743
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: case scenario for them, and it's going to be difficult

744
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: because I mean, they're just you know, the Vikings control

745
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: their own destiny. Now, granted, the Lions play the Vikings,

746
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: but that number one seed is pretty big. I would

747
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: say it means more to them than anybody because of

748
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: how many guys are on the shelf love the pod tonight.

749
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong Chargers fan, and this was one of

750
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: the best wins that I can remember. I agree it

751
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: was pretty big time, partly because as a Chargers fan

752
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: and those of us that live on the West Coast

753
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: that watch so many of their games over the last

754
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: like two decades, I guess some of the LT Rivers

755
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: teams were closing the deal in a lot of games.

756
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: But it does feel like the second half of Rivers

757
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: career and then the Herbert run was just filled with

758
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: games like last night, because every game they play in

759
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: for like twenty years is relatively close in the regular season,

760
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: and the Anthony Lynn McCoy and then Brandon Staley, like god,

761
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: they lost a lot of them. This is a strange question.

762
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: Can I work for free for you, just as simple

763
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: as sending you stat breakdowns or anything like that I

764
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: have two kids in no life other than football watching.

765
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: I spend eight hours a day, twelve hour shift watching football.

766
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate you reaching out, Zach sounds like you watch

767
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of football. I just really don't need anything

768
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: right now. That's you know. I get asked that question

769
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: a lot. I just there's not many needs I have. Honestly,

770
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 1: maybe it'since I should read the Websters a little more.

771
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: My dad would be not proud of my ability to

772
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: nail a vocabulary word. I was wondering how you would

773
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: approach this upcoming draft if you were the GM of

774
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Uh. I think you have to look at

775
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: their defensive line. Khalil Mack still looks pretty good. I

776
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: mean he last night against Now granted mclinchy, when you

777
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: get on I mean Bosa Smoke McGlinchey. The crazy part

778
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: about McGlinchey is he's gonna be a twelve year starter

779
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: where he if he's healthy, he literally starts for just

780
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: five year starter for the forty nine ers. He's gonna

781
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: start every game for Sean Payton and he'll have made

782
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. And there is no one I

783
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: have less confidence if he's one on one in a

784
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: passing down, you know, second and a third and long

785
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: against a higher end pass rusher, it feels more likely

786
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get a watch out right. He's got

787
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: a lot of lookout blocks, and he had one last

788
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: night when Bosa smoked him. But I do think both

789
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: those guys. Obviously, Joey Bosa is younger than Khalil. It's

790
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: kind of crazy that Khalil Mack has been in the

791
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: NFL for eleven years. Makes me feel really old, and

792
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: he was like a fifth year guy coming out of Buffalo.

793
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 1: Joey boss is twenty nine. I bet Khalil is thirty two.

794
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: At least Khalil is thirty three. So I mean, you

795
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: got two guys a lot of wear and tear. You know,

796
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: I think defensive line, pass rusher dB. I think defense,

797
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: and then I think Harbaugh is going to draft a

798
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: running back on the second day because there are some

799
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: sweet running backs, and you know, I think ideally what

800
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: he had in Blake Korum at Michigan, what he had

801
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: at Frank Gore at with the forty nine ers, he

802
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: always had really really good running backs with the Stanford

803
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: I think he'll look to get a Bellcoal running back

804
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: and then honestly maybe he I don't know how good

805
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: the tight end draft is. It was actually good last year.

806
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's good this year. I've noticed you

807
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: speak very highly at Jim Harbaugh, and right, so, he's

808
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: an excellent and well accomplished coach with a national championship.

809
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: As a Ravens fan, though I never heard you have

810
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: the same energy for Harbaugh when he's three to zero

811
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: against his brother and wins being the Super Bowl. Who

812
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: do you think is the better coach? Well, I think

813
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: Jim is now. Jim has proven it, you know, multiple places.

814
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: I just think Jim. I think John, like Mike Tomlin,

815
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: falls under the category of just same play so long

816
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: we both acknowledge they're both really good, and I would

817
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: say John's lost some really bad playoff games in recent memory.

818
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: The game last year was atrocious, I mean really bad.

819
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: I would say the game several years ago against the Ravens.

820
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: I was listening to Luwan and Compton had on Gruden

821
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: and j. Grudin asked them like, what was your finest

822
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: memory as a as a player when you in the NFL?

823
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: And I think his example was playing you know, New

824
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: England and playing Baltimore in those two playoff games as

825
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: big underdogs and running the ball down their throat. And

826
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: I you know, when I think of John Harball, I

827
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: think of pretty big disappointments in the games that have

828
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: mattered with Lamar Jackson, obviously, John Harbaugh's really good. And

829
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: I actually know a guy who recently worked for him

830
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: who just said it's remarkable. So I'm not trying to

831
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: diminish him. I just think, you know, I mean, I've

832
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: seen Jim do it like four different places. John's been

833
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: in one of the best organizations in the NFL and

834
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: one and now he has one of the best quarterbacks

835
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've ever seen, and it's like, can he

836
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: finally get it done. It's a big couple of days

837
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: coming up for John Harbaugh. They could either win the

838
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: division or they kind of be locked in his wild

839
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: card now. Also, as we saw last year, like I

840
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: would put them in the category did if their defense

841
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: plays better that they they could win on the road.

842
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: The Falcons make me laugh. They finally last January stop

843
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: Rich McKay from doing a Kevin Warren that's the official word,

844
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: and controlling everything behind the scenes, and they're still useless.

845
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: Fun though, has got to go, and so does Raheem.

846
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: I'd love to see them hire someone different. They seem

847
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: to cherry pick Tampa and the Saints personnel quite a lot.

848
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: I'd be tempted to try Joe Brady if you can

849
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: get the right GM bad news for Raheem. Fans are

850
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: already thinking about the next coach. I think these last

851
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: couple of weeks are pretty big, man. I mean, if

852
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: they were to lose a couple of these games down

853
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: the stretch and Pennix looks bad, and I'm a Michael

854
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: Pennix guy, but that situation could be a disastrous offseason. Right.

855
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: The cousin's thing was a failure. Right, if you could

856
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: have a due over on that would not have given

857
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: him that money. And now there's all this pressure on

858
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: putting Michael Pennox making his first start basically at Christmas

859
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: when the season's on the line. That's pretty cool. Why

860
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: didn't they start him two weeks ago? That's what I

861
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: don't understand. Why didn't they start him two weeks ago?

862
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: At minimums start them against the Raiders. But now you

863
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: start them and I get the giant snink. But man,

864
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: earlier in the video you said Quinn Johnson or whatever

865
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: his name is, and how he physically can't catch. How

866
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: is that someone hasn't tried to move him to dB.

867
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: He has never once been able to catch today. For

868
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: the one big drop, you can see at least he

869
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: is trying to use his hands, but he still has

870
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: the habit of jumping like you would try to catch

871
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: it in your gut. The guy has no chance of

872
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: ever having hands. What could be his route to redemption

873
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: as a dB? I would say at the NFL level,

874
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big transition. I don't think you can

875
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: necessarily just move him to safety because I is he

876
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: a He's probably too big to play corner. I mean,

877
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: how much does he weigh? Two hundred and ten pounds?

878
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: Let me see his measurables. He's six foot He's basically

879
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: six three two ten. He's got long ass arms. He

880
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: ran a four or five. I think he'd have to

881
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:32,280
Speaker 1: play safety, but I don't know if he ever played

882
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: defense in his high school career. His hands, he just

883
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: you can feel it. And some guys battle that. You

884
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: know Terrell Owens famously, you know, didn't have Chris Carter

885
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: or Marvin Harrison's hands. I would say the modern day

886
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: guy who doesn't have natural hands and is still a

887
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: big time players. DK Metcalf to me that he would

888
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: have to be kind of in that category of being

889
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: this version of like after the catch, break tackles, go routes,

890
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: but every time you throw them the ball, it's just

891
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: a coin flip whether he's gonna come down with it.

892
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: I recently watched the old thirty for thirty doc on

893
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: SMU receiving death penalty tied to the Pony Express and

894
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: how guilty the NCAA felt over crushing the program. Any

895
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: chance the decision still loomed in the back of the

896
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: mind of the committee in picking SMU over BAMA, I

897
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: think I would really doubt it, because, yeah, I'd have

898
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: a hard time. So they got the death penalty in

899
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: what year? Eighty four? What here is a death ponta ninety?

900
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: When does their season go away? Doesn't even look like

901
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: so from eighty six to eighty nine. I don't think

902
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 1: it did head a factor at all, To be honest

903
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 1: with you, pretty crazy think about the world we're living

904
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: in now, where it's like they even try to deny

905
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: that it's pay to play it's supposed to be nil, right,

906
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: Like if I'm Yetti Coolers or Stanley or you name it,

907
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: Taylor Made or Chevrolet, I give these guys an ad

908
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: which clearly they're just paying guys like your name is Likeness.

909
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: Well here's this five hundred grand. It's like, well, what's

910
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: this is this? Like? Is it getting an advertised No,

911
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: it's just money, just pay to play, which is I'm

912
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: fine with. But that was basically I don't remember. I'm

913
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: pretty sure I watched it years ago. But wasn't that

914
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: just because of the two running backs Craig James and

915
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: uh who is the other running back? The Pony Express

916
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: got like cars and money a couple hundred thousand dollars

917
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: back then, which obviously was a lot of money. The

918
00:53:52,719 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: Pony Express smu who is the second running back Dickerson.

919
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: I think how stupid that sounds like you got the

920
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: death penalty for paying players. What a world do we

921
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: live in? As a Jags fan, I really like Lawrence

922
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: and think he can be the guy, but he has

923
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: not been consistent and he was overpaid. What are your

924
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: thoughts on the situation? Assuming Doug gets fired. I think

925
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 1: that's a fair assumption. How do you think head coaching

926
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: candidates view Trevor Lawrence? While the contract might be concerning,

927
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: do you think potential head coaches believe they can win

928
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: with Trevor and that they can make him elite quarterback

929
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: given his talent? Would a younger offensive coach like Ben Johnson,

930
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: Joe Brady or Liam Cohen be able to build and

931
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: would they be interested in the job. I think all

932
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: these guys are going to be interested in the job now.

933
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: I think one problem is is Trevor Lawrence now has

934
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: had poor play and injuries. So it's not just a

935
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: guy that he might need some help to break out

936
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: of his poor play his injuries. I mean he was

937
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: banged up last year, miss games, and now he is

938
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: missing the season getting shoulder surgery. I think correct. So

939
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: I just pulled up his contract. His contract basically starts

940
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: next year, so his cap hit like the dead money

941
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: in twenty five. The next two years he's basically on

942
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: the team. His dead cap this year's one fifty. Okay,

943
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: got that over With twenty five, his dead cap is

944
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three million dollars. In twenty six

945
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: it is eighty eight point five. God they paid him

946
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I mean the way that the

947
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: spot track has it. The potential out is in twenty

948
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Now we've seen teams move before that, but

949
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: I think for the health of the franchise, he's on

950
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: the team for the next couple of years, so you

951
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: would have to have some belief that you can make

952
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: him play better. I don't know. Probably stay away from

953
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: me now. It is. You know the division, it's not great.

954
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: Florida no state income tax, so if I pay you

955
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year, that's a lot of money.

956
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: Desirable place to live. I guess Jacksonville people seem to

957
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: like it, but I don't know. That seems like a

958
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: very very difficult job. With everything coming out regarding the

959
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: Jets ownership this season, dysfunctional ownership, it got me wondering

960
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: about the other owners in the league. Could you share

961
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 1: a tier list or rank the owners in the league.

962
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: I actually have been working on this theory I was

963
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: going to bring up with Coward on Sunday, is that

964
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and honestly at the creation

965
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: of the of the NFL, right in the seventies, when

966
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: the AFL NFL merged and the Super Bowl was created

967
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: for decades, winning meant such a strong financial winfall the

968
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: difference of losing, because for a long period of time,

969
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: getting people to attend your game was a big deal.

970
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: Well over the power of television, the advent of these

971
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: of the streaming services, and the booming amount of money

972
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: behind the television contracts, you don't need to win anymore

973
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: as an owner. You're guaranteed to make money whether you

974
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: win zero games or whether you win seventeen games in

975
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Now you make more through the different

976
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: revenue streams when you win. Obviously the Chiefs make more

977
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: money now than if they were a four or five

978
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: win team, but he would still make an astronomical a

979
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: massive amount of cash. I think I got to mix

980
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: in a new word for astronomical. So if you've got

981
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: a good adjective to replace that one with fire it.

982
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: In my DMS, you're basically fool proof. You are a

983
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: recession proof in the NFL. So as an owner, if

984
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: you think about it, like one thing that's in vogue

985
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: or no Belichick right and even Vrabel last year, it's like, Yeah,

986
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: we don't really want a guy that's not gonna listen

987
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: to us, whose ego is going to be as big

988
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: as ours. We want a guy that we can tell

989
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: what to do. And I do wonder if a lot

990
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: of owners like having a guy that they can that

991
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: will listen to them, that will take their dumb ass ideas.

992
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: Because back in the day, like hiring Mike Holmgren or

993
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells or you know whoever the big personality coach was,

994
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: you just let them do it because you'd hope they'd win.

995
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: It'd be more money for you. Now it's like, let them,

996
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: let them kick ass and take names or listen to me.

997
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: Either way, I'm making money. So the Chiefs, those guys

998
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: have been so good Clark Hunt lets him do whatever

999
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: they want. I would say the Bill, same thing. They're

1000
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: winning at such a consistent clip. Now they get a

1001
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: lot of juice. The Steelers have had the same owner forever.

1002
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: The Ravens are a good example, like he listens to

1003
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: DaCosta and obviously Ozzie and John's been there for a

1004
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: long ass time. You know. I think the Chargers kind

1005
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: of battled this over the years, and now they got Jim.

1006
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: They kind of let him cook. Denver new owners that

1007
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: they pay Sean a bunch of money. They just like

1008
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: let them cook. But you see, like the Patriots, I

1009
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: think they kind of like telling Dryden Mail what to

1010
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: do because for twenty five years Bill told them what

1011
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: to do. Tennessee clearly wanted that. That's why they got

1012
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: rid of Rabel, you know the Browns, Like he tells

1013
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: everyone what to do constantly. It's not an easy place

1014
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: to work. The Bengals owner is essentially the GM, you know,

1015
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers temper is all over that. The Bears are

1016
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: a good example, Like their family isn't that confident to

1017
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: run the shit, so they hire Kevin Warren. It's just

1018
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: too many cooks in the kitchen. Cowboys, it's hard to

1019
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: overcome Jerry. He's always, you know, giving you stupid ideas

1020
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to football. The Arizona Cardinals owner, like

1021
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: the Bidwell family, has a long history of having no

1022
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: clue what they're doing and being cheap. I don't even

1023
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: know about the Falcons, but I think most of the

1024
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: teams that are good Eagles are somewhat of an exception

1025
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: because they're GM and owner has a lot of juice.

1026
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: But like like Kevin O'Connell, lafleor like, they don't they

1027
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: get to do whatever they want, Dan Campbell, Kyle Shanahan,

1028
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: and Sean McVay like people aren't fucking with them. But

1029
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: like I said the other night, if you're a super

1030
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: rich guy, you're gonna listen to your kids a lot.

1031
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: And let's face it, if you know, if I was seventeen, eighteen,

1032
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: nineteen years old and an owner's kid, my ideas would

1033
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: probably be pretty stupid too. I would be, but I'd

1034
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: be talking to my dad constantly about the team. We

1035
01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: need to get this guy, we need to get rid

1036
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: of this guy, to hire this coach. Think how many

1037
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: takes if you were born into an NFL family, your

1038
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,919
Speaker 1: dad owned the team, and by the time you came

1039
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: like sixteen seventeen eighteen freshman in college, the amount of

1040
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: takes and thoughts on football you'd be giving him. And

1041
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: unlike everyone else in his life who is on the

1042
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: payroll and terrified to upset the Apple card which is

1043
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: his checkbook. As a kid, you don't give a shit

1044
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: because you know he's got your kid, so you can

1045
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: give him just unfiltered opinions, which is not the case

1046
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: with basically everyone else in his life, which he probably appreciates,

1047
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: and some of them uses so I think that story

1048
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: sounds really crazy, because it is if he actually told

1049
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Joe Douglass he has a Madden rating like that is

1050
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: that's you can't even begin to explain that one away.

1051
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: That feels really low level. But if you don't think,

1052
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: I guess this is the best way to put it.

1053
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: There is no way another team in the NFL has

1054
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: not had or their owner had not had an idea

1055
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: pitched to them by one of their younger children, assuming

1056
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: they have younger children, you know, that are in their

1057
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: teens that Madden played a part of. Personally, this is

1058
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: basically asked me the question, what's your opinion on the

1059
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: Madden ratings to evaluate the players? He knicks the trade

1060
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: and didn't want the team to sign guard Joe Simpson.

1061
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: I almost busted a gut laughing when I read it

1062
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: was funny. It's a funny story, and I mean it's

1063
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: just it's hilarious actually, because the Jets are at the

1064
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: point where everything is believable, Like if it came out

1065
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: that they hired you know, you pick a coach. Let's

1066
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: say it's like the Jets have hired Aaron Glenn and

1067
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: then Russini and Michael Silver do an article the process,

1068
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: and it was like what they did is they took

1069
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: like the wheel of fortune and they put ten names

1070
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: of guys they liked, and they just spun the wheel

1071
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: and it landed on Aaron Glenn And that's why they

1072
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: chose them. If you wrote that down after Whoever's hired

1073
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: and said this is why they chose him, everyone would

1074
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: believe you. So the Jets are at the point now, like,

1075
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: and I heard Schrager saying this that, like everyone is

1076
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: talking a bunch of shit about the Woody Johnson's kids.

1077
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: And here's where I do agree, Like if I was his,

1078
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: if I was Woody Johnson's kids, I would be throwing

1079
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: dumb ass ideas surely, because when I was twenty years

1080
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: old now I didn't know anyone in the NFL, let

1081
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: alone an NFL owner. The ideas I'm sure I had

1082
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: for like team building would have been moronic. So it's like, yeah,

1083
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the guy listens to his kids. Now does he listened

1084
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: to his kids and not his GM? Then that's a problem.

1085
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: My other thing, like, are we sure Joe Douglas is

1086
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: like the best thing since Ozzie knew him? Yeah, he's okay.

1087
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: He also drafted Zach Wilson, who stinks like his entire

1088
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: career came down to drafting that guy. A couple questions.

1089
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Do you think it was the right move to go

1090
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: to Pennix this year and Judon did not produce like

1091
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I thought he would. Does it make sense for the

1092
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Falcons to go after Micah Parsons or are we so

1093
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: bad it won't make a difference. I would imagine last

1094
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: time I heard Matt Judon this is probably a month ago,

1095
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: had like two sacks. He has three and a half

1096
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: sacks on the season, So yeah, it's not going great. Listen,

1097
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: you couldn't keep rolling out Cousins. I think the question

1098
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: with Penis and Cousins is why didn't we do this

1099
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: like two or three weeks ago? But watching him in

1100
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: that Raider game, you couldn't keep playing him. You could not.

1101
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I do think it makes it a lot easier that

1102
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: you're playing a bad team this week now. I think

1103
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: if you could look back and do it all over again,

1104
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: at minimum you would have started him in the Raider game.

1105
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: But the time is now. Part of the reason I

1106
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: liked why I hated the move of drafting him to

1107
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: sit behind Cousins, which looked like it was going to

1108
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: be a couple of years before they started playing games.

1109
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: Is Michael Penix as a twenty four year old six

1110
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: year NFL or college starter. He's not a project now.

1111
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: Is he going to be good or bad in the NFL?

1112
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Who knows? No one does. But he's also the type

1113
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: player that like just put him in like he's ready

1114
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: to go. He's not JJ McCarthy where you gotta work

1115
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: on some stuff. Not saying that he doesn't need to

1116
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: work on stuff, but like he's a plug and play guy,

1117
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: and so maybe that serves them well, maybe you'll hit

1118
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: the ground running. It wouldn't shock me if comes Sunday

1119
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: that he throws. I mean they're playing the Giants, like

1120
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Saints fan here and even bigger three and

1121
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: out fan. I like this guy. I was fine with

1122
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: the front office pushing contracts down the road with the

1123
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: breeze later years, but it seems like they never got

1124
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: the memo that he retired. If you were the GM

1125
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: of the Saints this offseason, what would your plan be?

1126
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I think the move Remember at the end of like

1127
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: the Cam Newton era, Tepper bought the team and then

1128
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: basically they just guted everything. I think it might just

1129
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: be time for a gut job. Now. They extended Alvin Kamara.

1130
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know what would their big time assets be.

1131
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: You know, if he was under contract, he would be

1132
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: an asset defensively. They already traded laddim More. You know

1133
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan. Cam Jordan like thirty five years old. He's

1134
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: pretty old. Obviously, Derek has little to no value Cam Jordan.

1135
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: He's thirty five years old, so I mean he doesn't

1136
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: have much. Chandler Arizona, Uh, it's where Camp's from. I

1137
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: think he just blow it up, start over and just

1138
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: kind of eat it. You guys are in trouble, and

1139
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: let's face it, he kind of did you dirty. But

1140
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Sean knew it. Sean could see the writing on the

1141
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: wall with the financial situation, no quarterback, and he jumped

1142
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: off the ship before it sunk, which I don't blame him,

1143
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: but sucks to be a fan to be like well,

1144
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. I mean, the chances of you replacing that

1145
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: is going to be very difficult, even this offseason, and

1146
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: I think because of your your financial situation as a

1147
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: franchise is hard to get people to go there because

1148
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: you don't have any flexibility. I'm not sure if this

1149
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: is the right spot, but I had a question for

1150
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the mailbag. What are your thoughts on Darnold to the Seahawks.

1151
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm a diehard Seahawks fan for thirty years, and I

1152
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: think Sam would be a great fit. I don't think

1153
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: he'd be a bad fit. I mean, when you look

1154
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: at you got a deep threat in DK. He can

1155
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: throw bombs. You got guys. You know, Tyler Locket's getting

1156
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 1: up there in age, but Jackson Smith is just a fantastic,

1157
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 1: elite talent. And you've got multiple running backs in Sharbonnay

1158
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 1: and Walker. The offensive line stinks, but you don't have

1159
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: to give up any assets to get them, so you

1160
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: can just why don't you just draft offensive lineman. I'd

1161
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: be all for it. I would say the forty nine

1162
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: ers do not want that to happen. I'm a big

1163
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: Colts fan. What do you think the Colts should do

1164
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 1: with GM head coach and quarterback in twenty five? I

1165
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: think Ballard should be fired because of the last of success,

1166
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: lack of success for the last eight years. The last

1167
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: time the Colts won the division was two thousand, fourteen. Jesus.

1168
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: The Texans have won six times since then, the Jags

1169
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: have won two times and the Titans have won to

1170
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: two times. I want the Colts to keep Steichen and

1171
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: pair with the GM. He knows well. Alec halabi On

1172
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles would be a good fit. He has been

1173
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: with the Eagles for seventeen years and has a strong

1174
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: emphasis on analytics. I also think Richardson should get one

1175
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: more year, but they should sign fields running quarterback to

1176
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: compete in training camp. Richardson has been poor, but if

1177
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: you suck next year, you can draft a quarterback high

1178
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: in twenty six, like Arch Manning what our owner would

1179
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: love to do. It's a good question, you know. Ironically

1180
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: about Alex Is he texts me I hadn't talked to

1181
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: him in a long long time, and he texted me

1182
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: probably within the last couple of months that he just

1183
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: enjoys my stuff. And then I texted him back and

1184
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: he never responded. But yeah, Alex's when I was with

1185
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles. If you looked at Alec Halliby's computer, it

1186
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: would probably look like something you would see it like

1187
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: the Pentagon meets, like the CIA meets like you know,

1188
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Tesla. I mean it was like, I

1189
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: have no clue what's going on here. He's brilliant, he's

1190
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: really really smart. I don't know. I can't speak to

1191
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: the relationship between steich And and Halliby, but I want a

1192
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: root for Ballard like I want him. I don't know him,

1193
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: but everyone I know that knows him loves the guy.

1194
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: But it's it's a disaster, it really is. I mean,

1195
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: they waited and they waited and they waited on a quarterback.

1196
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: And his whole thing was always I can't just take

1197
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback because you guys want me to take quarterback.

1198
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: I have to love the quarterback if we're going to

1199
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: take quarterback in one of these high rounds, like, we

1200
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: gotta like him too. We can't just take quarterback because

1201
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: we need a quarterback. And then finally he goes all

1202
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 1: in on this guy and it's just it's bad. I

1203
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: mean it really is, because he has fundamental flaws that

1204
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can overcome. And when you

1205
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: can't accurately throw the football and you have little to

1206
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: no touch, it's a problem. And I think because of

1207
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: his immense talent, he's one of those guys you hold

1208
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: on to So it's like, do you bring in, like,

1209
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: would you sign Sam Donald this offseason? Well, if you do,

1210
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,560
Speaker 1: then you just get rid of Anthony Rigidson. But what

1211
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 1: does Anthony Rigidson as any value? He's a fourth overall pick.

1212
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: He was drafted two years ago. So next year, I'm

1213
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 1: just thinking off the top of my head, he probably

1214
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: makes like seven eight million dollars someone trading for that

1215
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: is their backup quarterback. Could you move him to like

1216
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 1: tight end or running back? Yeah, I don't know. I

1217
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 1: you know, I don't believe Ballard will be fired until

1218
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: he's actually fired, So I think that he will keep

1219
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: his job. I would expect all these guys to be back.

1220
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I would say Anthony Richison would be the guy to go.

1221
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Now you'd go. So Ballard gets a multiple coaches, he

1222
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: gets all these quarterbacks. He just can't get the quarterback right,

1223
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: He really can't. It's kind of crazy. Why did the

1224
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: Niners release Darnald last season? They had great quarterback on

1225
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: the roster. Knowing Perdy would be negotiating his contract, they

1226
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: would have some leverage there. Follow up, why don't the

1227
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: Niners go get Donald if he's not retained by the Vikings.

1228
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: He's not going to cost as much as Perty and

1229
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: has a lot of potential. Well, he was a free agent,

1230
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: so he was on a one year contract to be

1231
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 1: the backup. I think they paid him, I forget the

1232
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: number off the top of my head, like three million bucks,

1233
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: two and a half million dollucks. Then they wanted to

1234
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 1: keep him, The Vikings offered him ten million dollars. And

1235
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: it's not like he played. I mean, I guess he played.

1236
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he played a week eighteen against Carson Wentz. I

1237
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: can't even remember now, I've barely watched in that game.

1238
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: But he didn't play any meaningful snaps. So you're basically

1239
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: just going you're buying this new mindset. But not because

1240
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: he had started half the games. I think when you

1241
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: look at Purty, I think Kyle loves Purty by everything

1242
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: that I know, and everyone in the loop like Kyle

1243
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: is very, very invested in Brock Purty. So as long

1244
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: as Kyle is around, Brock Purty's gonna be their quarterback. Like,

1245
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to doing something like would I rather

1246
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: have Sam Donald for twenty eight million than Party at

1247
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: fifty five million? Well, yeah, but I'd rather give Sam

1248
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Donald seventy million dollars guaranteed than pretty one hundred and

1249
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars, of course. But the guy that's pulling

1250
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 1: the trigger on that is Kyle Shanahan. He's the boss

1251
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: first and foremost. My heart goes out to Chubb. I

1252
01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: think he's talking about Nick Chubb. Two questions. Should Nick

1253
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Chubb think about retirement given his injury history? And with

1254
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: this in mind, should Cleveland draft Genty? Sometimes you just

1255
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: you know this. I do understand the mindset of Andrew

1256
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: Luck who said that just after a while, that rehab

1257
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: table in that training room made him like question his

1258
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: own sanity. And if you're Nick Chubb and you have

1259
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: this devastating k the injury, and you come battling back,

1260
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: and then you're coming back and you're working your way

1261
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 1: through it and you're playing, and then all of a

1262
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: sudden you shatter a bone, You're like, what is happening

1263
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: to me? I would say, given there's just a broken bone,

1264
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: maybe I'm missing some information, but he can come back

1265
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,640
Speaker 1: from that. Now, Nick Chubb is going to impact I'm

1266
01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: trying to read. Doesn't sound like it's too bad. If

1267
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb wants to be a Brown he'll be a

1268
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: Brown next year. This is teammate talking he's a free agent. Yeah,

1269
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't. I don't think he retires,

1270
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: And I would doubt Cleveland, which is pretty analytically driven,

1271
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: would take a running back in the first round. Because

1272
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,839
Speaker 1: part of this draft is supplied demand. There are probably

1273
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: ten guys that are gonna get drafted in the first

1274
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: three rounds. So aren't you better off drafting another position

1275
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: that's harder to find, you know, maybe a pass rusher,

1276
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: maybe an offensive lineman, maybe a quarterback, and then drafting

1277
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: a running back in the second or third round. I

1278
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: mean where Nick Chubb get drafted. Remember Nick Chubb wasn't

1279
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,560
Speaker 1: even the first running back off his own college team.

1280
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: That was Trivia Sony Michelle, not a great pick by

1281
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, lifelong Longhorn fan. With the way Quinn has

1282
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: been playing, do you think they're there's a chance he

1283
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: returns for another year or should he go pro? If

1284
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: he has a good playoff run? Is there any reason

1285
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: he couldn't be the third quarterback taken after Sanders and

1286
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 1: Ward maybe fall into a better situation. I saw a

1287
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: headline like two weeks ago that his status is up

1288
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: in the air in terms of maybe he would go

1289
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: to the transfer portal because if people are like, hey,

1290
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna get drafted like the fifth round, maybe he

1291
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: would just go to another school. I don't see any

1292
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: scenario in which he returns to Texas Arch Manning is

1293
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,799
Speaker 1: going to be the quarterback for the Longhorns in twenty

1294
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: twenty five. Like that's a fact obviously if he's healthy,

1295
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 1: So yours has two options. Does he go pro or

1296
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: does he transfer to another school? Now the question is

1297
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,639
Speaker 1: who would want him, right, like the top top teams

1298
01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: like would Dubor want him, would Georgia want Because if

1299
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you could go to one of those schools, then you'd

1300
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: have to entertain it. You can make millions of dollars,

1301
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: but if you have to level down, that's pretty risky.

1302
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,560
Speaker 1: You might as well just go pro now, you know.

1303
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: I think was a stucky that said that he might

1304
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: go to Michigan State. Maybe it was maybe it was

1305
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: my guy Jackson that'd be there'd be a lot of

1306
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 1: risks there. I'm twenty seven and going back to college

1307
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 1: and have my AA and business management. I saw Arizona

1308
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: State has a sports business major. I watched sports my

1309
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 1: whole life, but around high school became fascinated with the

1310
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: business of sports. I'm married with two kids, and I

1311
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: am wondering if you have advice about this being a

1312
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,839
Speaker 1: good potential career option. If I went with this degree,

1313
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: I would aspire to be in a finance department or

1314
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: front office in some way. I live in Orange County,

1315
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: so there are pro sports teams here everywhere around me.

1316
01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: I got a master's when I was a gat for

1317
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:06,839
Speaker 1: State in sports administration, and it had little to no impact.

1318
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: It literally had no impact on the rest of my life. Now.

1319
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: I didn't have the time and I would not have

1320
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: been able to study enough to get like a true

1321
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: MBA just a business degree. But I would say a

1322
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: business degree, an MBA or an undergraduate degree. I don't

1323
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: know where you're going to school, but to just get

1324
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: into the business school would be more impactful and better

1325
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: off for your future than the sports business degree, because

1326
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get involved in a front office

1327
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:43,839
Speaker 1: from a finance side, I think you would have probably

1328
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 1: an easier entry with just a general finance degree from

1329
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, UC Riverside or UCLA or whatever, then a

1330
01:18:54,760 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: sports business degree, because it's not like a sports business degree.

1331
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: I guess even at A maybe at ASU. I don't

1332
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: know enough about that, But I don't think they're just

1333
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: funneling you into the Arizona Cardinals, because if you were

1334
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: had a undergraduate business degree at ASU, I think you

1335
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: could get hired there just as easy, or with the

1336
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: Lakers or whoever you were trying to work with. Twenty

1337
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: seven two kids married, seemed like you get your shit together.

1338
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: Everyone keeps talking about Vrabel and all these other coaches.

1339
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: What about Pete Carroll to the Chicago Bears. He says

1340
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: he still has the energy and he knows how to

1341
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: build a culture. You know, I think when you look

1342
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: at historically makes a lot of defensive guy. We know

1343
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Chicago likes defense. You know, he's a little desperate. He

1344
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: might be willing to listen to Kevin Warren unlike Belichick

1345
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: and Vrabel because it kind of looks like no one's

1346
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: ever gonna hire him to do anything again. So I

1347
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 1: think you could do a lot worse. Now. I've heard

1348
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people say that they have to go offense.

1349
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, but I think they just need to

1350
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: get the right coach. Even if you get an offensive guy,

1351
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: then your defense sucks, and what if he's not great

1352
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: with the entire team. I just think they need to

1353
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,759
Speaker 1: hire the right coach. They could do a lot worse

1354
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 1: than Pete Carroll, a lot worse, that's for sure. Do

1355
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 1: I think they will hire Pete Carroll? I don't. My

1356
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: gut says Pete Carroll's not their next coach. Okay. Last

1357
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: question was listening to you talk about Party's contract comparing

1358
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: him to Dak Trevor Tua and I agree, though I

1359
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,839
Speaker 1: like him as my quarterback. I think fifty plus million

1360
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,879
Speaker 1: average per year to be reserved for future Hall of famers.

1361
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: But with the quarterback market looking like it just keeps

1362
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: growing exponentially, what do you think gets it to stop

1363
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: or slow down. I feel like we're looking at the

1364
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight housing bubble with quarterback contracts. One

1365
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: main difference in that analogy is in eight, let's use

1366
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:16,560
Speaker 1: the Big Short the movie, the scene when they're in Miami.

1367
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,719
Speaker 1: I think they're at the strip club and the strippers

1368
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: are all buying a bunch of homes. They're not putting

1369
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: any money down, they're not getting their income checked. It

1370
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: was kind of fake. I mean, it was a giant

1371
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 1: house of card. It was a fugazi. You didn't need

1372
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 1: anything to get approved to get a mortgage, where these

1373
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: teams are actually giving these people cold hard cash and

1374
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: they just feel like these other quarterbacks don't exist or

1375
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: that once I have one, it's a very big risk

1376
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 1: to try to upgrade when I'm in that kind of

1377
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 1: non top five six guy. But you know, my guy's

1378
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: good enough to win me the division and compete in

1379
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But we all agree, like he's not the best.

1380
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: He's not going in the Hall of Fame, he's not

1381
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: some like all time great talent. I also think the

1382
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: incoming crop, like there's a bad quarterback class in the draft,

1383
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: so you're like, are even better quarterbacks coming in the

1384
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: draft for the next couple of years? Like look around

1385
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: college football, it's like, who's the best prospect beside Shade

1386
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: or Sanders for the next couple of years. It's like

1387
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 1: Arch Manning, he started like two games in his life,

1388
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: and if his name was Arch middle Cough, we would

1389
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: never be talking about him. So I think there's more

1390
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: substance behind this. No one ever just lets a guy leave. Ever.

1391
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: It took. It took cousins tearing his achilles. If Cousins

1392
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: hadn't torn his achilles and they had ended up with

1393
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: ten wins in a wild card spot, I wonder if

1394
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance he's still in the Minnesota Vikings.

1395
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: It was easy once he tore his achilles. I was like, yeah,

1396
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: we'll just move on. So I I think a lot

1397
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: has to do with teams terrified of the unknown, and

1398
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: it's like they have so much money that they're like, yeah,

1399
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: we'll just ride with Tua. We'll just keep rolling with Party.

1400
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: And obviously Perty is a better player and to and

1401
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: accomplish more. But you know what I mean, the O

1402
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: eight housing market was just it was all fake. This

1403
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: is not fake. Trevor Lawrence is getting real money, and

1404
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: they're just going, how are we going to upgrade over

1405
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Now, I do think the negotiation that was there,

1406
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: it's like you did not need to give that much money,

1407
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: like part of whatever happened to Like you know, when

1408
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: eBay first started and you'd find something cool that you'd

1409
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 1: want to buy, and you'd be like, I got a

1410
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:49,679
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars and once you hit a certain number,

1411
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: you're like, well I'm out. I'm not getting that sometimes

1412
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: you would just no one else would bet. You're like,

1413
01:23:54,040 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: I just got this, you know, signed Lorenzo O'Neill Fresno

1414
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: state picture that I can put in my college dorm

1415
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:10,879
Speaker 1: room for seven dollars. Hell yeah, I just got Larry

1416
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: Birds underwear for seventeen dollars that are signed. I mean,

1417
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: the shit on eBay was incredible, and every once in

1418
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: a while you just throw in a bid and no

1419
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: one else's bid and you'd get it. Like whatever happened

1420
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,639
Speaker 1: to Like, Hey, we're not getting into a bidding war

1421
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: with you. We're not even to go We're not negotiating

1422
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 1: against ourselves. The market is the market. Now, this is

1423
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: what we're offering you. We have you under contract for

1424
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: several years. We're ready to play ball here in terms

1425
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 1: of we're not afraid, Like, this is what we're not

1426
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:49,560
Speaker 1: budging off. This teams gets so scared. Now. Back in

1427
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: the day, you would just battle it out for a

1428
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: couple of years. Like whatever happened to that? It's like, yeah,

1429
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be the victim here. We're offering you

1430
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars guaranteed. Why want to No?

1431
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: When did that stop. It happens all the time. Anyone

1432
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: that's been on a house. It happens. You're like, yeah,

1433
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: we're not going over that number. Okay, we're not doing

1434
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 1: a deal. Okay, see you later. The difference is you

1435
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: already have that person in our contract. Trevor Lawrence was

1436
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: in our contract for two more years, his fourth year

1437
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: and his fifth year option, and they're like, here's two

1438
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars guaranteeses, Like, what are you guys doing?

1439
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I'm just clueless, but I don't get it.

1440
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: I feel like these agents really really take advantage. It's

1441
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: one thing if justin Jefferson, right, or some all time

1442
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: great talent, you're like, yeah, Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson.

1443
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: It's another thing when these guys are clearly in the

1444
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: second or third tier. I just don't get it. Now.

1445
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: I get it, you gotta pay somebody, But I think

1446
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money right now in the NFL is

1447
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: getting wasted on closer to average players getting paid like

1448
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 1: they're Pro bowlers and they are simply just not sate

1449
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: everyone listening. Thanks everybody for coming in the DMS. I

1450
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: just there's just not enough time in the day to

1451
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: respond to all you guys, so we'll just keep banging

1452
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 1: it out, probably keep banging them out as we go
