1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast see's the game of cornhole 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: as a metaphor for life. Welcome back to another edition 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL Podcast, presented by New Era. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hanza's Name, joined by room Field 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Breg What's ups Hey? 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: Push the show back a day to make sure all 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: the heroes were together. I was hoping we'd be celebrating 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: a regular season title for the Shield after UM last night, 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: but instead another huge disappointment. It was one of the 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: worst softball performances I've ever seen. The playoffs start next week. 11 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: We're in the playoffs, but we lost seventeen to two. 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: Tart to score only two runs in softball. But it's good. 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I look at it like we got that game. It's 14 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: better we got it out of the way last week. 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: All we gotta do is win two games and it 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: suddenly it's glory. One observery with your team having been 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: to fewer games this year in the than in the past. 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: I saw one game where and we talked about this 19 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: before the show, where I was walking around calling you 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: the because you looked at that powerful like the ceiling 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: was very high. But then in other games like last night, 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: the volatility of the team seems to be a season 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: long issue well to two big factors there the strength 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: of the opponent. You saw the worst team in the 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: league last night. Last night we played the number one 26 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: seed in the tournament. And the second thing is whether 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: we're at full strength or not. We were missing a 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: couple of key people last night. It's been a very 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: difficult season. Um. Uh, despite our seven and five record, 30 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: which is fine. Um. As the manager of the team 31 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: between Wes's illness, um, some issues with drinking and drugs 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: with the team whoa like minutes, Yeah, we're like the Cowboys. 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: Legal troubles. Uh, people showing up late. Uh. Like I said, 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: people showing up intoxicated. Uh. I'm I'm not having a 35 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: lot of fun this season, and this is one of 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: those things where what I need to do is get 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: to the end of the season. It happens to everyone 38 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: if you follow sports. That happens to every manager coach. 39 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: They think to themselves, let me get through the season 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: and kind of reassess where I am. And I'm very 41 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: much in that place as the skipper of the shield 42 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: as we enter the playoffs. Um My heart and soul 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: is in it, but I don't know how much longer 44 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: my heart and soul could be in it. And breaking news, 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: not ready to break anything yet, but West, I think 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head before the show. 47 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: What we need. There's some you know, a little come 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: to Jesus moment with several of the roster members. Let's 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: be honest. Well, I've been playing softball for twenty five 50 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: years and every team I've ever been on, almost every 51 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: team that every softball team has the philosophical difference are 52 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: we playing for fun? Are we playing to win? And 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: the manager's job is to make as many happy as 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: many of the people on the team happy as possible. 55 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: You don't answer to the one person making waves. You 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: answer to everybody. So if most people want to win, 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: you try to do that. If most people just want 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: to have fun, you try to do that. We have 59 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: a mixture of both, so it makes it makes it complicated. 60 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: We'll put Greg. I'll just say, you know those teams 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: eighty six Mets, those Cowboys teams. Sometimes all you gotta 62 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: do is you get to the dance, you get in 63 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: the big games, and then all right, there's been issues, 64 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: there's talking about flipping a switch. I'm just I'm not 65 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: talking the switch. Winning. You know what's fun? You know 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: what I'll make you have fun as a skip winning 67 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: two games and winning a title, and that that's doable. 68 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: A great story about the team catching the ball, that 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: would make me happy. How about hitting a double which 70 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: we didn't have yesterday. We didn't have a single double. 71 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: We had zero extra base hits. So let's they were 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: throwing underhanded. Let's let's you know, the flipping the switch. 73 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: Greg is the rookie on the team, and you have 74 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: that rookie boyishness to you where no I know what 75 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: sports are like. We got a chance. We've literally in 76 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: the two teams that are in the playoffs with us, 77 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: we've beaten them, so we are capable of winning those 78 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: two games. That's it. To Greg's point, the team that 79 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: we beat in the championship last year was better than 80 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: any team we played this year. I like the optimism 81 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: from Greg. That's not your job, but it's good to 82 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: have a voice like that. That's the rookie on the 83 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: grizzled veteran and I appreciate Greg's optimism, but sometimes it 84 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: grinds me down. I mean, all these tiled and tired managers. 85 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: They get to go to Hawaii for three weeks and 86 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: pund of their future. You get training camp and the 87 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: business time of the year exactly, which is what we're 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: going to be talking about today. Um with training camp 89 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: now what a week away? Basically, no, it literally started 90 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: today for the Arizona Cardinals have shown up for full 91 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: team practice which starts tomorrow. Cowboys will be there tomorrow. 92 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: But I mean like the league wide where everybody rest 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: of the league and the next week alright, So so 94 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do today is, uh, you know, start 95 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: to take a peek at the beginning of a new season. 96 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: That's what I really like personally. They get the training 97 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: camp that's the new season. All this other O tier 98 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: stuff and mini camps they get covered exhaustively now by 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: the media. In the old days, that was just you know, 100 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: it's just part of like those teams are going through 101 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: their motions. But now we cover that like it's part 102 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: of the twenty seventeen season, which it kind of is. 103 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: But for me, now we're getting to the new season, 104 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: it's time. It's gonna be fun to have new stuff 105 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: to talk about. That's gonna happen soon. We're not there yet, though, 106 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: I think more legitimate information comes in the first week 107 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: of training camp than the than the previous four months combined. 108 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: So we're gonna play one of our favorite games. What's 109 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: more likely training camp? Addition, uh today also we have 110 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: a surprising amount of news to get to, so a 111 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: lot of good stuff to talk about guys today, as 112 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: we put that loss and stop all behind us and 113 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: we try to have a you know, a winning podcast. Mark, 114 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: Let's let's attempt it. I'm not against that idea. I 115 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: never heard that. I've never heard my positivity being called exhausting. 116 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: It's it's been a tough season for SKIP, and I'm 117 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: not saying I'm being rational. It's been a long season. 118 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: One third person here too. I think things were on 119 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: a whole new level of self referential comments at this point. 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: Let's do some news. So you're living in the past, man, 121 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: You hung up on some clown from the sixties. Man, 122 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: a lot of feedback about Bows of the Clown. I 123 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: am stunned. West. I could imagine you, um sitting in 124 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: front of a big black and white TV with your 125 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: cowboys and Indians figures watching Bows of the clown. You 126 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: said you had no idea who it was. A lot 127 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: of people are surprised. I mean, I know that Bozo 128 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: is a clown. I didn't know there was a TV show, 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: and I mean I hear from Twitter that it was 130 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: on w g N. The Wesley family did not have 131 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: cable television, microwaves, call waiting, We didn't have any of 132 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: that stuff in the eighties. The Westlings didn't have a 133 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: call waiting. My dad thought it was rude. I don't 134 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: know if it's a true story or just a joke 135 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: of for some reason in mind my my mind it's 136 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: a true story. Is the story you told about all 137 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: the boys being in the basement like a piece of 138 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: steak being thrown down the stairs once. I don't think 139 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: I've ever told this story. I think you told. All right, 140 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: let's start with a nominee for the team of a 141 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: t L How about that. It's not an official We'll 142 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: get to get to that. But I'm just as a 143 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: team and the Los Angeles charges that have been bandied 144 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: about um and it's kind of funny, well not funny, 145 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: it's it's a bummer, I would say. For many people 146 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: were connected to the team that Mike Williams, the team's 147 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver I was drafted in the first round number 148 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: seven overall, is likely to start camp on the populist 149 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: following a second epidural on the herniated disc and his 150 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: lower back. UH Mike Garofolo said that the former Clemson 151 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: star resumed running this week and is feeling better After 152 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: the second procedure was first reported by Being rap Sheet. 153 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: UM reported that back surgery was on the table for 154 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Williams three or four weeks ago, but now UM they 155 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: are hoping to avoid that with Williams improving. I I 156 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: said that it was UM kind of interesting because we 157 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: were just talking about the Chargers and how they always 158 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: seem to have this loaded roster and then they get 159 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: ticked off one by one, just get picked off, and 160 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: now Mike Williams is hurting. Greg your thoughts when you 161 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: saw this. They are the most unlucky team when it 162 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: comes to injuries in the NFL. The Football Outsiders site 163 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: does a stat called injury games lost or adjusted games loss, 164 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: which you know, basically determines who's lost the most games 165 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: out of started They have been twenty six or worse 166 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: for five straight years in that category. That's insane in 167 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: the last two years. I believe was thirty feet and 168 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: thirty if there's something like that, So that is very unlucky. 169 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: That being said, Mike Williams was not a starter. I 170 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: think he was gonna have to really work hard to 171 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: have a role. Obviously, you'd love a top ten pick 172 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: to to be a big time factor, but they are 173 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: very deep at wide receiver. This just gives them less, 174 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, room to have another injury. I mean, every 175 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: time a wide receiver catches the ball just about he 176 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: gets hit. Herneyd disc is not ideal for a wider. 177 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: It's very serious for him for Mike Williams, like and 178 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: you have to wonder if if the Chargers knew this, 179 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: if they knew it was still giving an issue in 180 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: August or late July, would they have drafted it. No. 181 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean it feels like they didn't know about this 182 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: when they drafted, and he came to the team with 183 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: this first rookie minicamp practice, he gets hurt. And yes, 184 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: they are deep at wide receiver, but you're absolutely right. 185 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: With last year's Chargers decimated by injury, they still scored 186 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: over four h points on offense. They could easily score 187 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: four fifty plus this year, and I it's just a shame. 188 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: You'd like to see them. You go out and you 189 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: make this pick last year than in a Bosa all 190 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: summer and it was a huge deal and then he 191 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: came back and he dominated. It's hard to imagine that 192 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: with this kind of an injury for a wider soon. 193 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: We've seen it with first round wide receivers in recent 194 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: years who don't get on the field in the offseason. 195 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: Even if he gets ready, it's like, it is he 196 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: really going to be a factor? Josh Dotson was one, 197 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: Kevin White was another, Like it's hard for them to 198 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: catch up. Um. Bad luck is obviously one way to 199 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: put it put it, but is it possible Also the 200 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: Chargers organizationally, maybe they're not doing something right that this 201 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: is happening. Everything. They must have looked into this because 202 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: that kind of conditioning now is is gone into new 203 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: scientific realms. If they're behind on that level, it's their 204 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: own fault. But I would imagine they're researching this endlessly. There. 205 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: Their trainers had some some red flags over the years 206 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: in terms of negativeness, So I don't know it's not 207 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: working whatever is going on. Um, the good news UH 208 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: in the wide receiver corps for the Chargers is that 209 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is healthy after suffering that a c L 210 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: injury last year. And Philip Rivers was on the Rich 211 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: Eyes and Show last week and had this to say 212 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: of Keenan Allen. He looks like himself. I really think 213 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: he looks just as good as before he got hurt. 214 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: Should I sound the trope alert? I think it's worth it. 215 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: The trope glossary. By the way, veteran X declar's he's 216 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: more explosive than ever after suffering suffering devastating lower body injury, 217 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: which is more or less what Keenan Allen went through. Uh, 218 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: they need him to be Keenan Allen of old well. 219 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers also said you'll see the same guy trot 220 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: out there as last September and and just under two 221 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: quarters of the season opener, he toyed with Marcus Peters, 222 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Keenan Allen 223 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: was a legitimate number one receiver before that a c 224 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: L injury. They they need him. I mean, now, I've 225 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: been talking about all this depth, but it sort of 226 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: has to Like Tyrone Williams works kind of as a 227 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: number two. Benjamin works as a number three. You got 228 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: the two tight ends. Alan is the key to it. 229 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: If he if he gets hurt again, then suddenly they're 230 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: not that exciting the receiver. Moving on the panthers there 231 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: General is he an interm general monitor Marty Herne, Yes, 232 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: he's still a little weird. Though I find it very 233 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: odd fired him, replaced them, fired the guy that replaced him, 234 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: and now brought him back, especially when he was he 235 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: was essentially a punchline. When he got fired, un created 236 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: total cap Hell and now it's oh, well, we're we're 237 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: going back to the culture that we longed for under 238 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: Marty Hernie. It's like, within three days suddenly Gettleman, David 239 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: Gettleman is turning to the villain. How about the guy 240 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: that actually got you out of cap Hell and made 241 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: one great draft pick after the next. We're going back 242 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: to Marty Hernie, going back to your ax. Anyway, So 243 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: Marty the exes is back in the house. He's living 244 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: in in the spare bedroom, looking to wake his way 245 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: back to the regular bedroom. But on but in his 246 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: now capacity is in term GM. He struck a deal 247 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: Thursday with uh contract year guard Trey Turner um and 248 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: it's a four year deal worth forty five million with 249 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: twenty and a half million guaranteed. According to rap Sheet, 250 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: that is very good money. Your thoughts on this, Mark 251 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: se So you wrote it up on NFL dot com. 252 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: I did with conra Or on vacation and Kevin patra 253 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: leaving early for a bachelor party. The heat has been 254 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: put on the newswriters who have been not had that 255 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: kind of workout in a while. So Jeremy Bergman picking 256 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: up the slack early. This Bergman doing Bergman doing a 257 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: great job. I mean, this is this was one of 258 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: Gettleman's many, you know, head contract headaches to try to 259 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: figure out this wasn't you have to resign This guy's 260 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: a two time pro bowler, young player. They also have 261 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: another guard, Andrew Norwell, that they've got that whose contract 262 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: runs out at the end of the year. And it's 263 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: now now it's your deal, Hernie, you deal with it. 264 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: Why were the Panthers in cap hell when Marty Hernie 265 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: was fired and Dave Gettleman a rod because Hernie paid 266 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: solid starters as as the best players at their position. 267 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: Trey Turner is getting paid like one of the best 268 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: guards in the NFL. He's a he's a very solid starter. 269 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: But do you have to pay all of your starters 270 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: better than any other players at those positions? I mean, 271 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: is Hernie just like dancing around the building like I'm back, 272 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put big checks out. It's like it's less 273 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: than running with the team. Everyone's just gonna get bad. 274 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Trade Turners at least young and is a good starter, 275 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: So that you know it, it makes some sense to 276 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: me all the panic though about Gettleman. This is Gettleman's team. 277 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: I mean he put together he took some chances on 278 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line, uh in terms of his left tackle 279 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: signing with Khalil, and like the offensive line was really 280 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: the key to them falling apart. Let's year, Like this 281 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: is his team. There's not really much for Hernie to 282 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: do other than hand out some money right now. But 283 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: like the two thousand seventeen Panthers, what I'm trying to 284 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: say is, like that's the team Gettleman built, and it 285 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: looks pretty good. I think Hernie's doing a lot of 286 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: work in addition to getting the deal done with Turner, 287 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: the team announced. Is this just like timing thing or 288 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: this guy get into office and immediately was like, I 289 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: must do everything. Yeah, I think it's like, let's sign 290 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: fourteen bills in the first twenty four hours type of 291 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: president move. The team on Thursday announced the release of 292 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: veteran offensive tackle uh Michael Or, a failed physical designation 293 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: frees up so money under the cap. Or missed most 294 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: of last season. He suffered a concussion in Week three. 295 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: He tweeted out and this is kind of uh frightening 296 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: tweet from Or. The brain is a scary thing you have. 297 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: You have to be careful with it. Uh So this 298 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: could mean the end for the blind Side star, a 299 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: guy who, if not for that movie, would just be 300 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, another tackle that we probably didn't talk about 301 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: that much, but he will go down kind of in 302 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: history because of that, because of that movie. Like it's 303 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: it really sounds like a guy that's made that much money, 304 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: and he's made a good amount of money in his career, 305 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: would you would think would just retire because he's had 306 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: concussion problems for what nine months? Now? Yeah, I mean 307 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: that's a long I mean, but it's still happening now. 308 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: He's still talking about seeing lots of doctors. He's taking 309 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: tons of medicine. He sent these things. He sent these 310 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: out on Instagram, and I can't imagine he's gonna want 311 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: to play again. Yeah, and to that, and it wasn't. 312 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: This isn't something that Hernie cooked up out of nowhere. 313 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: I think that Ron Rivera said months ago that they 314 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: kind of had a plan for or Moving on, let's 315 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: talk about the Arizona Cardinals and coach Bruce Arians, who 316 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: has a quarterback in Carson Palmer, who obviously struggled UM 317 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: for much of the beginning of last season before turning 318 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: it on in the back half of the season looking 319 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot more like the guy who almost won the 320 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: m v P in two thousand and fifteen. Anyway, Arians 321 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: was on The Rich Eyes and Show last week, and 322 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: this is what he had to say about Palmer, who 323 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: offering an explanation why the quarterback might have struggled UH 324 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: in the early going last year. He's one of the 325 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: hardest working dudes I've ever been around side. You know, 326 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: we have to really pull the reins back on him. 327 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: He'll overwork all the time. Last year, he kind of 328 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: came in in September had already Warner's arm out by 329 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: overthrowing all summer and we found a nice regiment. November December, 330 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: he was playing as good as he's ever played. Uh, 331 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Chris Wrestling, Um, do you buy into this or is 332 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: it more just kind of an excuse that the coach 333 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: is making for his veteran quarterbacks. Do buy into it? 334 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: And and this isn't really the first time. Mark wrote 335 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: an article earlier this offseason where Carson Palmer was talking 336 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: about how his arm felt fresher this year because he 337 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: took March and April off of throwing. I think that 338 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: was one of the reasons last year when we we 339 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: watched Carson Palmer in September and October and said he 340 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: doesn't look like the same quarterback this year. Part of 341 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: the reason was because John Brown was injured, Michael Floyd 342 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: was dropping every pass throwing to him, the offensive line 343 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: wasn't protecting him. That was part of the reason. But 344 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: I think physically Carson Palmer wasn't right last year. At 345 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, Palmer and said he, you know, 346 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: admitted that he spent the last eight or nine years 347 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: of his career acting like he was twenty four or 348 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: twenty six and not adjusting that that arm workout schedule. 349 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: I only wonder what his career. His career has been fine, 350 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: but what what would be for Carson Palmer if he 351 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: had actually installed this a little earlier in terms of 352 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: his off season regiments. Certainly didn't hurt him in two 353 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: thousand fifteen, right, or if he had found Bruce Arians 354 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: earlier in the book. In the Arians book, which I 355 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: recommend was really good. The quarterback whisper, he he talked 356 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: about this same thing of making mistakes with having Palmer. 357 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: He also pointed out he was putting together his perfect 358 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: quarterback among basically all the quarterbacks he had ever coached. 359 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: And you know he's coached Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, 360 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: Kelly Holcomb, Kelly, he loves Kelly Holkim Kelly Holcomb in 361 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: the mix Ben Roethlisberger of course, and he said, you know, 362 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: the perfect arm is Carson Palmer. So even compared to 363 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: those other guys, he said, the perfect arm is Carson Palmer. 364 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: That's the best arm guy he's ever coached. But yeah, 365 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: to draw a parallel to our softball team, maybe the 366 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: issue with having an old quarterback is you get to 367 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: a point where everything has to be perfectly in place 368 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: for the guy to be the guy you need him 369 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 1: to be. Just like a softball team, you take out 370 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: one piece and we fall to hell. So the whole 371 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: team is a quarterback in this sure, But the point 372 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: being that Carson Palmer, he's gotta be throwing correctly. You 373 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: need to get the protection. He's gotta watch out for 374 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: his knees. He's the things you have to be concerned 375 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: with when your quarterbacks. Almost forty. Absolutely, but he played 376 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: great down the stretch. We we talked about that on 377 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: this podcast. He was absolver a top ten quarterback for 378 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: the last two months. I know they didn't have a 379 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: great season, but he was here and that's when he 380 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: started taking the time off during the week. So it's 381 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: I think it does work. Where did you finish in 382 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: your QB in next last year? I think he was 383 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: in the twelve to fifteen range. By the end of 384 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: the scene, it was about thirteen. But for the second 385 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: half of the season he would he would have been 386 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: like seven, eight nine. One little bit of Arizona news, 387 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the team re signed veteran running back Chris Johnson to 388 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: a one year deal, the team announced Thursday. Johnson is 389 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: at the turn thirty two in September. No longer the 390 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: home run thready once was, but he had found a 391 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: little bit of a niche there in Arizona. He just 392 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: has to stay healthy. They've spent the off season talking 393 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: up Kerwin Williams too, and they moved Andre Ellington back 394 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: to running back. I don't think it's it's a given 395 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: that Chris Johnson is the is the primary backup to 396 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: David Johnson, and there aren't gonna be many caries behind 397 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: David Johnson anyway. Are they concerned about his durability after 398 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: what happened last season? And he played well the year 399 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: before in Arizona, but that ended with his health issue too, 400 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so. That's probably why he waited until 401 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: late July to sign. The thing. The interesting thing about 402 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson is he's hanging on to reach ten thousand 403 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: rushing yards. He needs four hundred sixty three this year. 404 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: I would take the under on that. If you're the Cardinals, 405 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: do you call up D'Angelo Williams before you make this 406 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: relatively boring move by resigning Johnson, but Daniel Williams anymore. 407 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams actually, when you filled in for lev On Bell, 408 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: looked fine, looked great. I agree, d'angela. Williams looked like 409 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: a guy that should Still didn't the Steelers sign him? Right? 410 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson looked pretty good early last season 411 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: when he was getting carrious. He had some moments he 412 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: he was running tough in Arizona. Moving on. Meanwhile, on 413 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: the throne of ease, um C s n n E 414 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: dot com uh spoke to a anonymous a f C 415 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: scout asking, Hey, why is Jimmy Garoppolo still on the Patriots? 416 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: Which is their question. It's a very it's kind of 417 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: a it's it's a sneaky, like, very fascinating subplot in 418 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: the NFL when they could have gotten so much value 419 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: for the young man by now. Anyway, here's what the 420 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: scout had to say. He's Bill Belichick. He doesn't give 421 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: a blank what do you think that is? F Yeah, 422 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: I think it's an F I think it's an mm 423 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: hmm okay. He doesn't give an s about what you, 424 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: or me or anyone else thinks. I know teams called 425 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: about Garoppolo. I don't believe they were ever given a 426 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: realistic price. Why. To me, the answer is simple, Bill 427 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: thinks he's got the next great one. I watched his snaps. 428 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: I think he could be that. Garoppolo is a great 429 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: base and his mechanics are close enough to Brady that 430 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: you appreciate his willingness to learn and the coaching he's 431 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: gotten there. Mark Well, I love it. Why did the 432 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: scout turn increasingly effeminate as the quote went on. That's 433 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: not how I was reading it. I was just reading 434 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: glowing over Bill and uh and the quarterbacks. I I 435 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: love how this turned into an article. I saw the 436 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: headline from NFL to Colm, would the Browns have made 437 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs with Garoppolo? It's like, well, look, this is 438 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: the kind of you know, turn of events, good fortune 439 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: that got them from number one to number two in 440 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: the pain rankings. You don't land the quarterback that you 441 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: should have. And I think you're okay with that, by 442 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: the way, or is there any I mean, I know 443 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: there's no issues between X. I don't agree with with 444 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: your ranking, but it's not my my piece and Red 445 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: will I will say this, I don't I don't know 446 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: what the Browns have to do with this at all. 447 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's good self scouting by 448 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: the Patriots to not give up if this is, if 449 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: he's this good and they believe it, you don't give 450 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: him up for nearly anything. But what is what is 451 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots plan? Honestly, what's the plan? I don't think 452 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: they have one. I think they do. I think they 453 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: have a plan. The plan is why not keep a 454 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: guy who doubles as Tom Brady insurance the best backup 455 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. And then also we can franchise 456 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: him next year and either trade him or keep him 457 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: depending on what play is out in the two thousand 458 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: six season. And if you keep him, then what you 459 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: keep Brady and Garoppolo. Brady makes a lot less money 460 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: than he should be making, and the salary cap is booming. 461 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's your deals for certain players is like 462 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: a trend. I know Brady's get making making an affordable 463 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: salary for the salary cap, but that's you would be 464 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: tying up like forty million dollars a year. I think 465 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: the plan is wait and see, Like that's a legitimate 466 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: plan that that you see where you're at at the 467 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: end of the year. You see what kind of contract 468 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: if they're really going to get serious about it, which 469 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: they weren't this year because they knew they had of undercutter. 470 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: What sort of creative contract could they get Jimmy Garoppolo 471 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: to sign where there's certain incentives, certain guarantees. If he plays, 472 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: If he doesn't, he can get out of it. Maybe 473 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: after one year. If he doesn't get like, who knows, 474 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: they can figure it out. I truly think that the 475 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: Earth like spun on one of its access is where 476 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: a whole different reality happened. Where I was up in 477 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: the middle of the night, early in the offseason when 478 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: Jimmy g filed this Instagram post thanking Boston and thanking England, 479 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: and I like retweeted it, and I was I was like, 480 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: everything's finally happening, that everything is happening. And then slowly, 481 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: over the course of two hours, it became completely fraudulent, 482 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: and he had no idea who got into his Instagram account, 483 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: and it was a complete myth. Spend the time I 484 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: woke up. Speaking of alternate reality, I had a dream 485 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: last night. This is true, that that the Patriots were 486 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: up by ten at I was living in the house 487 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: I grew up and with my wife strangely, and the 488 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: Patriots were up at halftime against Japan. They were facing 489 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: the country of Japan, and then my parents football. Dad 490 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: was too excited. I was like, they could still blow 491 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: the lead. It's the game's not over yet. And that 492 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: was it. This is like you, this is you, like 493 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: twenty two years from now. And so you could put 494 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: literally the entire Japanese population on the field and the 495 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: Patriots and still defeat them. But to put a bow 496 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: tie in this Garoppolo thing, rap Sheet reported a few 497 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: months A bow tie A bow It's gonna say that. 498 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: I like the idea of it being a little tiny 499 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: person like, uh, it's like little high the Jones or something. Yes, 500 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Paul Simon, the old senator from Minnesota presidential Canada, didn't 501 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: he wear bow ties? I think you're writing anyway, rap 502 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: Sheet reporter a few months ago that the Patriots do 503 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: indeed see Garoppolo as a franchise quarterback. And if you 504 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: read Belichick's comments from last year when he said it's 505 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: a seamless transition when Garoppolo is under center in practice, 506 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: from Brady to Garoppolo, that's about his high praise as 507 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: Belichick gives his own players. They have a seamless traditions transition. 508 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious that that they view Garoppolo 509 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: as special. Um, everybody's got a condown with the bow ties, 510 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: by the way, a little bit who's not calm with it. 511 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: I don't see them around you. Now they pop up. 512 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: Now it's in style. Well let's say, yeah, give me 513 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: a give me a tie any any day of the week, 514 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: all seven days, give me the tie. There was a 515 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: period in our office where there was someone that floated 516 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: around in a bow tie, like a lower level news 517 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: from type person. Would would you go bow tie once 518 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: in a while? Yeah? Names this was ages ago. No, No, 519 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: he's still you're thinking, I know exactly who you're talking. 520 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm even referencing a second person, you know 521 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: who wears a boats I sometimes Marcus Grant over at 522 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: the fantasy side, So maybe you should Is that who 523 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: you're referring to, because I'm referring to someone who's very 524 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: clearly on the East Coast. I did not even say 525 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: whether whether or not I like that fashion trend. We 526 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I would never wear one, But it doesn't 527 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: mean that other people can't look good in it. Zessla 528 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: backpedaling quickly. Occasionally I was referencing someone who's on the 529 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: East Coast. I don't think anyone in this room should 530 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: be should be commenting on other people's sartorial choices. UM, 531 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: maybe you're right about that. Let's do, you know, let's 532 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: do some odds and ends? Why not ends? Everybody loves 533 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: like the Gothic interpretation? What the hell was that? A's 534 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: and ends? Is a light tune? Suddenly it sounds like 535 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: nine inch Nails does have a little of a ni 536 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: nd vibe to it. I don't know, no Colleen here, 537 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: I just thought maybe after the seventeen two loss, just 538 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: to darken it up a little bit, pull the curtains, 539 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: pull the curtains in, switch the lights off, lay in 540 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: bed till three pm. Touched the choice? Uh, odds and ends? 541 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: Here we go. Dante Fowler arrested on two misdemeanor charges 542 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: the Jaguars pass rusher twenty two years old. UM. According 543 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: to police reports, Fowler was seen punching a man after 544 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: a brief verbal confrontation. He then stepped on the man's glasses. 545 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: That's some bully stuff, breaking a lens, according to the report. UM. Anyway, 546 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: he posted a six fifty dollar bond. We'll see what 547 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: this means, both in terms of any legal action in 548 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: terms of court dates and also whether the NFL acts 549 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: on it. Jack the Jaguars, why do you make it 550 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: so hard for us to love you? Come on? If 551 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: you look at the rohdor world posts, there's a few 552 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: interesting ones. One that the post immediate lea before this 553 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: incident was defensive coordinator Dante Fowler has matured a lot. Yea, 554 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: here's a todd wash And then a little bit afterwards 555 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: was that he has ten This is only traffic, Like, 556 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, but how do you get yes, 557 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: ten traffic tickets in the last sixteen months. I just figured, 558 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm not judging him. That's just hard 559 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: to do to get to, Like, how do you get 560 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: ten in fourteen months? I think there were odd There 561 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: were whispers coming out from people that know the team 562 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: and cover the team that this is a guy taking 563 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: third in the draft And if you didn't know Mike 564 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: Williams had a back issue, they did not know a 565 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: lot about Dante Fowler, apparently because he has been I 566 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: think an issue inside the building in terms of his maturity. 567 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: So maybe that was a pointed common trying to get 568 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: him in that right direction. But there are all there 569 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: are other arrests attached to this guy too. That's a 570 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: red flag. I mean, if you have kids and you 571 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: live in his neighborhood, it's like he doesn't care. He's 572 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: just he's going a hundred and funny every time. Just 573 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: have to say to get ten. That means you are speeding. 574 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: Every single time you are in a car, you are 575 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: double the speed them, because it's pretty hard to get 576 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: a traffic to dante foul or a threat to your children, 577 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: says Greg rosent Um. Just a reminder everyone, this is odds. 578 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: It ends. We want to yeah us a little bit. 579 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: But just you mentioned the car. Greg, do you want 580 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: to talk about your car experience at all? Because I'm 581 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: fascinated right what? Greg bought a new car. He did 582 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: the entire negotiation via email. Yeah. I just didn't even 583 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: know the thing that you could do. I didn't either. 584 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: I decided I was going to try it out. I've 585 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: had such bad experiences going to car places, feeling like 586 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: they're boning you. They'd keep you there for eight hours, 587 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: then you just exasperate. I'm like, I'm not going into 588 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: this place until I work this thing. Out and it's 589 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: much easier to know what to say and be a 590 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: little more of a jerk maybe and do it all 591 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: over email. So we went in there once to just 592 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: kind of look at it, but then you know, had 593 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: his email address on it and it was all good. 594 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: Other other fun facts associated with this purchase. Um, I 595 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: mean I got this car, you know, let's for like 596 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: less than the price I even asked. You got for 597 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: a good value? Think think is this a red flag 598 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: to a couple of things. The car was under factory 599 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: recall for over him number two. Greg comes in on email, 600 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: as we talked about, with an offer, and then the 601 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: guy comes back and offers less than what Greg's offer. Well, 602 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: you think it's possible they're desperately trying to unload this 603 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: death machine. Well that was after a long build up, 604 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: you know, to that last email, and then I hit 605 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: him with the hammer, which was that look and you 606 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: know this recall, you know I mentioned like the recall 607 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: no one, no one wants his car right now, and 608 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: then I was saying I can get it for this price. 609 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: At the other you know, we got the toasted marshmallow 610 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: color over at another place. I just prefer years because 611 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: it's closer. And then they came back. This is a 612 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: car that you purchased for your wife and children. Yeah yeah, 613 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: I asked Greg, if you pop the chunk the check, 614 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: if they gave you two body bags as well in 615 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:51,239 Speaker 1: the machine? Anyway? Um, all right, odds and ends quick here. 616 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: Pac Man Jones suspended one game for violating the league's 617 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: Personal Conduct Policy, pled guilty to a second degree misdemeanor 618 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: and may stemming from an early January incident um in 619 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: a Cincinnati hotel. I wonder if he has set the 620 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: record in terms of the time between his first NFL 621 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: suspension and his last NFL I was gonna say it 622 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: feels like a story from two. I think it's about 623 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: twelve thirteen years now. That's a pretty big gap. He's 624 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: almost thirty four years old. He's kind of uni very 625 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: much a bad boy. Um. There used to be someone 626 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: when I worked at Walgreen's in Pearl River in my 627 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: teenage years. I used to be in charge of changing 628 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: the sign out front or you had to have like 629 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: a big pole with a suction cup and be like 630 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: twelve degrees out And I'm like saying, you know, toilet 631 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: paper on sale and have to spell it out and 632 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: get it correct. Anyway, there was a guy that worked 633 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: next door at the shop right the supermarket. Um, he 634 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: worked in the butcher's department, and he was like an upperclassman. 635 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: He's like a senior and he drove like a green 636 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: Camaro and he always parked it diagonal in the parking 637 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: lot to take up two spots and no one could 638 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: park close to his car, which it was always a 639 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: douche move. Uh. And then he had a big sticker 640 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: on the back windshield and it was like I don't 641 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: know remember when, like it was like the Calvin and 642 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: Hobbs and then you two people have like Calvin peeing 643 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: on Hobbs or some peeing on a Chevrolet or for 644 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: depending on your affiliation. So that's something like that. And 645 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: then the message was badass boys drive badass toys. Well, 646 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: well that's he was over compensation. That's on Greg's car 647 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: as well.

During his parle hearing. 662 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: Nobody ever accused me of pulling any weapon on them. 663 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: I would never ever pull a weapon on anybody. Didn't 664 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: the State of California accused him of pulling a weapon. 665 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: I believe they did, West, I believe they did. Moving on, 666 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: Derek Carr predicts another thirty SAX season for Khalil Mack. Uh. 667 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: He predicted that last year as well, and Mac went 668 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: from fifteen to eleven. So just by going uh the 669 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: same type of process, he'll have seven, then three, and 670 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: then be out of football in three years. Way to go, 671 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I mean he was vaguely kidding, I think 672 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: when he made this prediction. But you know, that's a 673 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: very foreboding for UH. And it's great for the you know, 674 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: the rate the Raiders to have two great young stars 675 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: like that. Tremendous, tremendous. There you go. So you're getting UM. 676 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: And finally in odds and ends, the Lions have decided 677 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: to do away with their playoff banners. Did you know 678 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: that the Lions, because the Cults got got a lot 679 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: of heat for this when they had UM a f 680 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: C finalists, which essentially or literally means they went to 681 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: the an FC Championship game and got their ass kicked 682 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: by the Patriots. UM. But the Lions were doing it 683 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: for every time they advanced to the playoffs. So for instance, 684 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen, UH, when they had a 685 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: one and done UH, they put up a banner. They 686 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 1: were scheduled to put up a banner for last season 687 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 1: when they lost twenty six six in the wild card round. 688 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: They have a one hundred million dollar renovation in ford Field, 689 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: and one of the team, Brass, announced we we didn't 690 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: see any point in putting them back up. Probably a 691 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: good take away, bad moved by Brass, because I would say, well, 692 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, I liked I like the idea of getting 693 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: rid of them, absolutely, the idea of making an announcement 694 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: about it, because get all this fresh wave of stories 695 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: that remind everyone how awful the Lions have been for 696 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: over half a century in in the defense of this 697 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: um brass. His name is Rod Wood, he's the team president. 698 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: He was giving a tour to media members of the renovation, 699 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: and my guess is that someone might have looked up 700 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: and say, hey, where are the banners, and then he 701 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: revealed it. I think that's how it played out, all right, Well, 702 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: good for good for Wood. That is a franchise in pain, 703 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: a lot of pain. Uh, that's what's happening in the news. 704 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: New Era, Oh do we love New Era. New Era's 705 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: NFL Training Collection has a great combination of innovative performance 706 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: and style with features like V protection, moisture wicking, and 707 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: cooling technology.

It's 714 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: good to hear um gold Standard though. Oh yeah, let's 715 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: up to tweeting about soccer. A couple of days ago 716 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: Sean Spicer and soccer or two of his big topics. 717 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: This morning, I've seen um got he's got his uh, 718 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: you know, business that he's running. It's got a whole 719 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: thing going on. We love the gold Standard. He's a 720 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: guy you never have to worry about. Yeah, but I do. 721 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: There's like a little duckling flying away. You know. You 722 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: you believe that they they're in the right position to succeed. 723 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: But of course, as always a part of you, it says, God, 724 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. He is the co founder of 725 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: Common Goal, which I believe is a consult We should 726 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: call him up and call sit up one day, get 727 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: an update. You know, I thought you were saying, like 728 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: to set them up. No, just no, no, no, just like, 729 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: get an update on their lives on the podcast. I 730 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: think they'd be a great couple. To be honest, I 731 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: like that idea better. I the update on their lives 732 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: thing is fun. But imagine if we got them together 733 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: things took off a little bit and then all of 734 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: a sudden there was a a t N podcast wedding 735 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: of to Mount Rushmore. Producers can ill Siti in l 736 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: a this weekend. By the way, another possibility for that 737 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: is we get Sully and k Rich together. That's chemistry. 738 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of rom coms. That is an 739 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: explosive couple right next, assuming Sully gets our stitcher back 740 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: power the only way to get it back, that would 741 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: be there have been like worst Sarah Jessica Parker rom coms. 742 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: If if we basically had Sully make a move and 743 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: make a play on our ex producer Crystal Tough, but 744 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: it was all about Sully getting close enough to get 745 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: the Stitcher Award back. Yeah, that would be that dark 746 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: end of not not the Matchmaker game show. Let's let's 747 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: keep going back to what end where he'd have to 748 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: she'd find out about this whole plot, but he had 749 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: actually fallen in love with genuinely, and so he has 750 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: got to see I don't care about the Stitcher Award 751 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: and like, we don't get it in the end. So 752 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: there's a sequel Pat Dylan and that Tyler character and 753 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: something about Mary where they're both like up to no good, yes, 754 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: but yeah, basically they both fall for each other right 755 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: when she's like head over heels she finds out about 756 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: the Stitcher situation. Maybe saw he's got it sticking out 757 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: of his pocket one day and just happy to and 758 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: then yeah, at the end of the movie they end 759 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: up together though, and we got the Stitcher award back 760 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: that and that's part of it. To anyway, What's more likely? 761 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 1: It's an either or game. Uh, this is the training 762 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: camp edition of What's more Likely? So we'll go around 763 00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: the horn a couple of times here with um two situations. 764 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: We have to choose which one is more likely to happen. Mark, 765 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: get us going, alright, this one has a couple of options, 766 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: not just too, but it's this this before you go on, 767 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: is this going to be more like a quality to Fantasia? 768 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: This is this is a I don't know what the 769 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: difference between those two are at all, but it's this 770 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: is this is pretty like football pure here because it's 771 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: it's something that's on my radar and has been for 772 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: twenty years about the preseason. Every year we get some 773 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: from the Wilderness team that takes the preseason way too 774 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: seriously and goes like four and oh, destroying opponents week 775 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: after week. This invariably creates all sort of tedious win 776 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: from analysts who fall hard for this cipher of a 777 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: team bound to still go like six and ten in 778 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: the regular season. Who's more likely to be that false 779 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 1: flag operation this August? The Rams, forty Niners, Jaguars or Bills? Okay, 780 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: more likely pure football? That was absolutely that's perfect, Not 781 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: though am I wrong about? I feel like that happens 782 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: every year, Like one of these I'll never field like 783 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: eighty nine, Like the Cults went four and oh, and 784 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: people were predicting him to beat the Niners and the 785 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: Opener and they lost like forty four to ten and 786 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: one like two more games that chip Kelly sam Bradford 787 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: year Eagles was certainly a candidate, infamously the two thousand 788 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: eight lines went four and o in the preseason, her 789 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: own sixteen in the regular season. Okay, so give me 790 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: those teams one more time, The Rams, the forty Niners, 791 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, or the Bills. Well, here I'm gonna say 792 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: the Jags are the most likely. You're saying for people 793 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,479 Speaker 1: to get too excited about the team. Um, because they've 794 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: been teasing the football Gagnas sent for a couple of 795 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: years now, and if they ever had a three and one, 796 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: four and oh preseason and Blake Bortles is playing well, 797 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: people are gonna be saying that this is it, this 798 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: is their division, It's finally coming together. Blake boy. I'm 799 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: assuming Blake Bortles will look good if they have a 800 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: nice preseason, right, He's had some good preseasons before too, 801 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: gets people excited, so um, I would put them above uh, 802 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: the other three teams. I think the Rams are an 803 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: interesting candidate here. A young, eager head coach. Maybe goes 804 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 1: puts out a little more effort, goes all out, doesn't 805 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: doesn't really hold back on the preseason as much. And 806 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: we've seen quarterbacks like Jared Brandon Weeden would have a 807 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: one thirty passer rating in the preseason. It would not 808 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: not surprise me if Jared Goff looks phenomenal against Vanilla defense. Right, 809 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Rams two just because I can 810 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: imagine they want to build up Goff's confidence, So maybe 811 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: they do as much as they can to really make 812 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: him look good in the preseason, build some excitement, maybe 813 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: sell some tickets make him feel good. The Rams were 814 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: the first team that came to mind. I also think 815 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: the Niners, because the Niners they I don't think the 816 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: Shanahan He's he's not a naive, He's he's been around 817 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: the block. He's not gonna intentionally try to win preseason 818 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: games necessarily, but they could look very polished and people 819 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: could say maybe the Niners team is ready to take 820 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: a jump. You know, Hoyer and Shanahan have worked well 821 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: together before blow blah blah, and then you know, Bang 822 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: four and twelve. I used to really get a kick 823 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: out of how seriously Rex Ryan took the Snoopy Bowl. 824 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jets, John's game had actually ruined Mark Sanchezs career. 825 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: That's how much Rex Ryan cared about winning the Snooper Bowl. 826 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: But West Europe, he'd be going to Canton otherwise he 827 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: would have been the starter that year. What's more likely 828 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: to happen and obviously rejuvenated Adrian Peterson operating in a 829 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: high octane offense temps fantasy drafters into gambling a top 830 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: twenty pick on him, or and obviously rejuvenated Todd Gurley 831 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: operating in a rejuvenated Rams offense temps fantasy leaguers to 832 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: use a top twenty pick on him. I'll go Gurley 833 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: for sure, because A I don't think we'll see Peterson 834 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: in August, you know much. So wherever he is at now, 835 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: people are gonna start getting excited and we'll hear some 836 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: good practice reports. But I can see Gurley. We were 837 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: just talking about the Rams having a really nice preseason 838 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: and Runner two. That gets people going because people want 839 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: to believe in Todd Gurley. The only thing is that 840 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: with fantasy, yes, we're around all these like fantasy experts 841 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 1: and people that take the game so seriously that there 842 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: is buzz around Adrian Peterson, like a huge chunk of 843 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: people that play fantasy that are more casual fans. He's 844 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: been in their lives forever, and they might just say, yes, 845 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to Adrian Peterson on this Saints offense. I'll 846 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: go Adrian Peterson. Um. Yeah, the Peterson hype train is 847 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: rolling pretty hard right now. Uh, and they're gonna use 848 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: them sparingly, I think, which will work out in his 849 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: favorable and also for fantasy owners who won't have much 850 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: to work off. I'm gonna go with Peterson. We gotta 851 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,359 Speaker 1: see what's going on with Todd Girl at this point? 852 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: With you, Todd, I don't think he's gonna answer during 853 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 1: the show. We've gotta find out about Todd Girl is here. 854 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: I like him a little more after All or Nothing. 855 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 1: You could really feel that he cared about winning about 856 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: as much as anyone on that team, and what what 857 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: had some leadership qualities to him? Hid If you're hit 858 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: hit me up on Twitter if you guys are if 859 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: the listeners are interested in the talking about All or 860 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: Nothing that season, Greg and I had a conversation about it, 861 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: the possibility of talking about that show at some point, 862 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: but I don't know if anybody cares. That's the whole thing. 863 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: If you care, hit me up. Here's another recommendation. If 864 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: you're kind of on the fence about it, just watch 865 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: the last four episodes. Those four episodes rank with me 866 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: of any Hard Knocks season or any other sort of 867 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: folk look into football because it was so unique, but 868 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: you could you could almost miss the entire It's a 869 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: rough it's a rough couple episodes to get into. So 870 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: I will follow your advice. Uh movie on what more 871 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: likely Deshaun Watson starts the third game of the preseason 872 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: or Mitch Drabinsky starts the third game of the preseason. Oh, 873 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: I think it's easily. Deshaun want Tom Savage does not 874 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: seem like a guy who's gonna be hard to beat out. 875 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: If Deshaun Watson shows that he's ready to play, I 876 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,919 Speaker 1: think he could enter the he's a starter. I don't. 877 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: I just can't see a guy with thirteen college starts 878 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: like Mitch Drabinsky beating out Mike Glennon. I don't see 879 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: that as a as any kind of legitimate possibility. I think, 880 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: barring disaster, they've already essentially given Mike Glennon the starting job, 881 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: that we could see Trabinsky. But it would be late 882 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: in the year when the Bears, when the wheels have 883 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: totally fallen off that team, which is very possible. Should 884 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: be stated, the Bears are highly unpredictable entity right now. 885 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: They are. Crazier things have happened, including the Mitch Drabinsky 886 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 1: trade was a crazier thing that happened, Like the fact 887 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: that they gave up all of that for him is crazier. 888 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: But I would be shocked too, So I'm gonna go 889 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson, who would who also you know, we're 890 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: not college experts, but would seem more likely to really 891 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 1: impress and pick things up quickly in the first few 892 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: weeks of training camp. Greg, all right, what more, what's 893 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: more likely Brandon Albert, left tackle of the Jaguars Tackle Talk, 894 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: gets hut at the end of training camp after being 895 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 1: a pain all off season. Or Jamal Charles future Hall 896 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: of Famer in my mind, gets cut at the end 897 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: of training camp. Or Carlos Hide as a surprise cut 898 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 1: heard this one from a little uh a little birdie insider. 899 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 1: Or brock Osweiler gets cut at the end of training camp. Wow, 900 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of oars. Yeah, I just figured about 901 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 1: let's throw some names in here, probably kind of left 902 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: out Albert not a lot of scissors. Yeah, you led 903 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: with him too, which I don't know if I'm really 904 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: close enough to the operations of any of these teams 905 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: that hazard and educated guess, but I'll approach it from 906 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,919 Speaker 1: this way. Carlos Hide is the least likely of those 907 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: four to be released. I also think you could not 908 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: the question. I honestly have no idea. Who's more like, 909 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: we don't have any of these answers. I mean, you'd 910 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: have to have. I don't know, never mind go ahead, 911 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: someone else can take. Well, he's passing on. I just 912 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: I can't possibly hazard a guess. I don't know. Scientists 913 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: head haven't happened, like, I don't know what Jamal Charles needs, 914 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: look like I'll go Charles because it would be in 915 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: a circumstance where we want this guy. He doesn't cost 916 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: you're not costing us much money, and he's on a 917 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: one year deal. But he just doesn't look himself that 918 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: if it plays out that way, he would be gone hide. 919 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: And I think you could trade Hide. You could at 920 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: least try to get someone to get to get something 921 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: for him before releasing him. It's hard to trade, but 922 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: could happen. Brandon, Albert's done. Mix it up here, Hey 923 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 1: read with Albert. I'm gonna I'm gonna say Albert's done. 924 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: He's a big painting the key star as they say, 925 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: no one going with with Brock. I mean, I feel 926 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: like all that talk about because not even make the 927 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: team down though, because you said you put in so 928 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: many oars everyone forgot about. You're stepping on a potential 929 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 1: what's more likely down the line now involving that very 930 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: gentleman would you mind if we could just know it's 931 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 1: just pause, just dig in a little, let's hit pause, 932 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,479 Speaker 1: and we're gonna come back to brock Osweiler. All right, Mark, 933 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: I will try another one. We're sorry that didn't work 934 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: out that one. You seem to be hurt that I 935 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 1: found it thought providing. I thought it was fine. I 936 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: had to think about of those four options might answer. 937 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: I liked it, Wes hated it, but I just I 938 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: had a hard time coming up with a strong opinion 939 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 1: on it. I feel very strongly that Jamal Charles is 940 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: done in Denver. I don't alright, So here we go. 941 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: What's more likely, for the first time in history, we 942 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: are in total lockstep with regards to the team of 943 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: a t L by the end of the preseason and 944 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,840 Speaker 1: do something incredibly balls ish and pick that team and 945 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: don't look back before week one Z. I wrote ball 946 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: z and then I just switched to balls ish and 947 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: I capitalized ish, so I wouldn't say it put a 948 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: little boat tie on that or Rookie Deshaun Watson becomes 949 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: the unquestioned starter for Will O'Brien's Texans. When Black Ops 950 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,240 Speaker 1: government agents rushed to the scene in Houston after quarterback 951 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,919 Speaker 1: Tom Savage suddenly freeze us up during a training camp 952 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: practice as smoke pours from a malfunctioning robotic left eye 953 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: on savages synthetic melting face. Teammates stand in shock. It's 954 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 1: the Guve agents wrap Savage in a fiberglass body bag 955 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 1: and Carter's body away to a secret cave system twenty 956 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: five miles east of Austin, m That sounds unlikely, but 957 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 1: I think the top one is even more unlikely. Can 958 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: I say? I really feel strongly and we'll get into 959 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,959 Speaker 1: the team of a til nominations next month. I feel 960 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 1: really strongly about us picking up before the season this year. 961 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: I do feel like we're more in lockstep previous years. 962 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: I do too, Dan, because I like there's a lot 963 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: of teams I like, and uh, I think we can 964 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: get it done, and I just like the idea of 965 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: it if we need to change it up a little bit. 966 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: I like the idea of picking a horse. I've never 967 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 1: We've never had this many Tom Savage references on the 968 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 1: podcast without the Tom Savage Well in this case though, 969 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 1: that that drop would be done forever because it would 970 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: be proven in fact, he's not really real he's a cyborgan. 971 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: He's really fake. Yeah, I think he's a creation. Well 972 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: that's a that's a larger question, Greg, because the cyborg 973 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: is a mixture of human and synthetic parts. So was 974 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: he built in gil Brand's basement. Well, that's a great question. 975 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 1: It's some mysteries. Yeah, I think the Savage parts more 976 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: likely to answer the question because this I'm not really 977 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: into conspiracies, but this is one that, look, frankly, we 978 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 1: were all over a long time ago. Is this guy 979 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: It's something strange about this guy, Tom Savage talking about 980 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: putting a bow tie on something. That would be the 981 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 1: end of that. This whole narrative decisively. I think James 982 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: Cameron definitely in a Terminator too. He had have a 983 00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 1: take on Tom Savage because, if you remember, Arnold's character 984 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: definitely forms a bond with the young John Connor. Absolutely 985 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 1: does he cry at the end of There's some humanity shown. 986 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 1: So is is the Terminator real? Lin't know? Moving on, 987 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 1: what's more likely Andrew Luck plays in three preseason games 988 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: or Marty Hernie signs six players to contract excess. You 989 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: have to make that number awfully high. But I guess 990 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Hernie, because I can't imagine Luck playing 991 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 1: three preseason games and her and he's already got one done. 992 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,439 Speaker 1: He's gonna do Thomas Davis, He's got Greg Olsen. He'll 993 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 1: probably sign like the janitor to a couple of year deals. 994 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 1: You know. He's just like it would be larger type extensions, 995 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 1: like yeah, all the Panthers players like, oh, we love it, 996 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 1: Old Uncle Marty's back, because he's just walking through the 997 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: hallway with a huge bag of cash, like Oprah, you get, 998 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,240 Speaker 1: you get a contractor extension, you get a contract extension exactly. 999 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: I think, Um, why why wouldn't Luck play three? Let's 1000 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,760 Speaker 1: do the map. Let's do the map. Okay, the Coults 1001 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 1: start their preseason on August thirteen. Today is July one, 1002 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: so that is approximately three and a half weeks. He's 1003 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: not gonna play week four of the preseason, so he 1004 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,799 Speaker 1: has to so he has to be there for week 1005 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: one for this to work, which means Andrew Luck's not 1006 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 1: playing a live football game in three and a half weeks. 1007 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 1: It's not even throwing, right, we don't know. I think 1008 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: we've seen in week two and three based on the 1009 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: information we have. If I had to put an over 1010 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,359 Speaker 1: under on it. You know that's not allowed in these parts. 1011 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 1: I would say one is my over under for Andrew 1012 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: luck Starts. All right, fair enough, but who knows? This 1013 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: is another one where I think you're right that in 1014 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: order to make it the preseason week one he would 1015 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: be throwing by now. Um, yeah, there's a chance you 1016 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 1: can set it at like half. He might not. We 1017 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 1: might not see Andrew Luck And then you wonder if 1018 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: that's the case. Is there anyway starts? Is he a 1019 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 1: pup candidate? Another major subplot to watch, Mark seil okay, 1020 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 1: I we'll track it. Let's move on. What more? All right, 1021 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,760 Speaker 1: this is a depressing one, but it's for the fans 1022 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 1: of the losing franchises in this room. Josh McCown breaks 1023 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: camp as the Jets week one starter or Brock Oswayler 1024 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: breaks camp as the Browns week one starter. What's more likely? Account? 1025 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: By far? I think it Oswalder is more likely to 1026 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 1: get released in start week one. There's just been no 1027 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 1: buzz about Oswidler at all. I thought there was from Owlder, well, 1028 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 1: from our from our neck. Otherwood's actually for me and 1029 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 1: our NFL network insiders, that's been like three months, hasn't it. 1030 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 1: I just think that if anyone is going to start 1031 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: for Cleveland, it wasn't if they I think that Cody 1032 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: Kessler's in theory or safe pick, I don't know what 1033 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: that means, but Kaiser would have a chance if he 1034 00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: played well to jump in there. I just don't. I 1035 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,399 Speaker 1: think Oswalder right now is number three, and that where 1036 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to m account if you don't if 1037 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: McCown looks competent and he is a competent quarterback and 1038 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,879 Speaker 1: the other two Jets quarterbacks do not, and there's any 1039 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,239 Speaker 1: scenario that they don't put Josh McCown out there for 1040 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 1: Week one, they have that coaching staff is going to 1041 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 1: have so many questions to answer. It's going to be 1042 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 1: awful by the end of September for them. But we 1043 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: all agree that they're this season. Yes, I think we 1044 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: all agree that, But the Jets coaches can't show that 1045 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: like before Week one that they put Christian Hackenburg in. 1046 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't I think you. I think 1047 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's too openly fraudulent. At that point 1048 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,919 Speaker 1: you have to roll with with account for the start 1049 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 1: of the year. They gave him a lot of money. 1050 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,359 Speaker 1: I think when I'm not a much I'm not an 1051 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 1: account believer at this stage, but I think when it's 1052 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 1: real football starts, he'll just be better than Christin Hackenberg. 1053 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: When there's real pass rush in preseason, He's not gonna 1054 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: be great, but they'll just be better than Christin Hackenberg. 1055 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 1: And last four, maybe the last four. Osweiler wrote a 1056 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: World updates for the For the record, Hugh Oswelder has 1057 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: done a good job. Rock Osweiler says he expects to start. 1058 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 1: Oswalder impressing teammates at Brown's ot as Osweiler working hard 1059 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 1: on his quote fundamental. No see, none of that to 1060 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: me adds up to any real juice on Osweidler. You 1061 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,879 Speaker 1: want me to give you a preview the next Rodal 1062 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: World Alert, Yes, Rock Osweilder released. He'll get some more, 1063 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 1: He'll get some Stephanie. I think, for the record, I 1064 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,399 Speaker 1: think he's gonna start Week one. I think it's gonna happen. 1065 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 1: I think they want him to start for some reason. 1066 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: I think they're they believe in him. Well, why do 1067 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 1: you think about why do you think it that more 1068 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: than other players on other quarterbacks on the team. I don't. 1069 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,839 Speaker 1: I've just not heard that. I feel like there's been 1070 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: some buzz around him. I think you want him to start. 1071 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,719 Speaker 1: I would like that should be a Rodo world blur. 1072 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,360 Speaker 1: I got you know, the RG three starting for the 1073 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: Browns was kind of peak. Uh like miserable veterans starting 1074 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: for the Browns. Nothing and we'll really top that. So 1075 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a real pretty close Yeah, I'm not 1076 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 1: looking forward to this. You're wishing misery upon him? No, 1077 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 1: just get him out of the way. You know he'll 1078 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: move out quickly, just like Josh McCown. But I think 1079 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna see You don't think, am I the only 1080 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: one thing is gonna start games this year? Yes, okay, 1081 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna start some games. I don't know. 1082 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,839 Speaker 1: I would be No. Well, they had six players play 1083 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 1: quarterback last year, so it's not out of the realm 1084 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,479 Speaker 1: of possible at all. He could definitely start makes the team. 1085 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,319 Speaker 1: I kind of expect. I feel like he'll either get 1086 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: released before it even starts in or he'll end up 1087 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: starting a couple of games. At some point. They'll have 1088 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: three different players start a quarterback. Why would you keep 1089 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 1: brockcosts players? Your number three quarterback. Can I tell you 1090 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 1: why sixteen million dollars? You're right? I mean, I don't know. 1091 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. See a lot of teams of 1092 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. You didn't lead damn anything. Alright, Greg, 1093 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna interrupt this game for a little 1094 00:56:53,200 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 1: breaking news. Oh yeah, The NFL Players Association recently fired 1095 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 1: filed to the NFL that Ezekiel Elliott and his representatives 1096 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,320 Speaker 1: they hope is a final response to their investigation. The 1097 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 1: NFL is wrapping up its investigation of Ezekiel Elliott incidents 1098 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: after more than a year. This is from Ian Rappaport 1099 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: and Tom PELLISERA. I am about Pelisero getting in there 1100 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 1: with the trouble cider. Uh news. So essentially the news 1101 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: is the discipline is coming soon. I guess with that 1102 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: in mind, what's more likely, let's just let's just incorporate 1103 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 1: at all. What's more likely Ezekiel Elliott gets suspended one game, 1104 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 1: or Ezekiel Elli gets suspended more games than that, or 1105 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 1: if you want, Ezekiel I gets doesn't get suspended at all. 1106 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: Brendan Albert gets suspended conduct detrimental team. Uh, he he'll 1107 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,680 Speaker 1: probably get a game, right, isn't that what the Schefter 1108 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 1: report was. I'm sure I don't know how this stuff works, 1109 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: but the the fact that then he had more a 1110 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: bar fight on top of it, and then the speeding 1111 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: ticket came out and and all this stuff, I think 1112 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: the NFL is just gonna be like, whoa, this guy 1113 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: needs a little bit. He needs to get uh an 1114 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 1: official demerit here, just to maybe slow him down. So 1115 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna hit him with a one game or which 1116 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 1: is not the end of the world, not great, obviously, 1117 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 1: I'll sign up for one game. I can't predict what 1118 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell is gonna do with suspension. I can predict 1119 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of Zeki Allie and Cowboys. 1120 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: As if our network or any other networks need an 1121 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: excuse to talk Cowboys, they and the Cardinals are in 1122 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: camp a week before everyone else, so it's basically Cowboys 1123 00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: TV starting Monday, went inside training camp. That's what they like. 1124 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go zero games just to be different. I 1125 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 1: have no inside knowledge on this. I thought you were 1126 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 1: going breaking news that an Kuan bold And is visiting 1127 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: the Bills. I didn't even know that one. I thought 1128 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 1: you wanted to play for a contender. That'd be a 1129 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: nice signing for them. They could use it. They could 1130 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: use him if useless signing. For all due respect, but 1131 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: I know this for a fact because when I see 1132 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: whenever I see an athlete that's born in the same 1133 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: year as me, it sticks in my mind. And Kwan 1134 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 1: Bolden was born in nineteen eighty, thirty seven years old. 1135 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 1: Are you going your thirty seven years old? You're getting 1136 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 1: getting beat up for fifteen years in the NFL. You're 1137 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: gonna go to Buffalo made a lot of money in 1138 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: this liep. I'm not going to tell him that to retire. 1139 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 1: You know the game, they love the game.

I can't believe we've believed that crikey? 1175 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Who said that? Did you do that something? The guy 1176 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 1: who sent it might have beaten it? Is that like 1177 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,600 Speaker 1: an F bomb in Australia. No, I think it was 1178 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: f crikey. Yeah, there was a word that came before. 1179 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 1: I thought crikey got believed. I like that one. That's 1180 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 1: a good one. We went through them selling and because 1181 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 1: the listeners that and by the way, listeners keep sending them. 1182 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 1: We got a bunch of them back in the Sydney 1183 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 1: days of NFL Networks Greg Rosenthal submissions, and then they 1184 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: kind of dried up. We went through a bunch of them, 1185 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 1: uh sulely. We did not hold back. We tossed a 1186 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 1: lot of them that you know, I'll be backed about 1187 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,600 Speaker 1: half of them, Yeah, we can't. Some are good, some 1188 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 1: are not good. And if you don't hear yours, you 1189 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 1: could probably figure it out. Or you came down so, 1190 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 1: but just keep trying doesn't mean to quit. Unless it 1191 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: was really bad, then don't try anymore. But and you'll 1192 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,840 Speaker 1: probably know even as you send it off, it's like 1193 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: this probably isn't gonna be very good. If you're one 1194 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: of those people, just give up. But if you if 1195 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 1: you're a creative person like whoever said that, if other 1196 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 1: people are telling you you're creative, not just if you 1197 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 1: assume yourself that you're creating, let's let's start there.

Well, just I 1203 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: think being honest with the audience is always a prudent course. 1204 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 1: And we will figure we're gonna get to it the 1205 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:11,480 Speaker 1: five reddit um listener or subscriber.
