8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680

Speaker 1: I did send out that evite for June two thousand sixteen.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: That will be the next time we do anything of

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: the easily fashion that is. I mean, we're in the

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,240

Speaker 1: the Combine after that, then the Draft, then owners meetings,

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: then Mini Listen, it's about route in middle of June.

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: You will get a breather Greg. Then contrived controversy. Yeah,

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: well all right, so that is the league schedule. Greg.

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: You didn't need that, you're saying, no, I'm aware of it.

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: I've been doing this a long time. Apologies. Big show

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: today and one teaser win West's toaster, a game of

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: skill and valor the trivia game. I had reached out.

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pull back to curtain a little bit.

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I had reached out to someone that works in NFL

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: media that I thought, and I'm not going to name him,

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: that I thought really had a chance to take down West.

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say who it was. I'm just gonna

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: say he does not want to come on the show,

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: does not want to do the trivia game out of

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: respect for West. Can get your whooping starer out of

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: respect for rest out of respect for West, and so

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna lean hard on the contestants from America and

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: overseas and hopefully we find someone that is in the

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: non tomato can uh field. People outside of the building

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: have never beaten West. I mean, other than Damask. West

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: hasn't been anyone inside the building. He's oh and one

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: against me, take Damask, But that's about it. That doesn't

49
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: really count to beat Damage. It's basically like a professional literally,

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: you are paid for your football opinions against a bunch

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: of amateurs. So it's, you know, to use the Mike

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: Tyson comparison, it's like Mike Tyson against your grocer or whatever.

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Sully has said he's found this time around. He's claiming

54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: he found some non tomato can I'm going to be before.

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be skeptical until it happens, and I'm gonna

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: put this out there and not to put any pressure

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: on who who might be in the mix to take

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: on West. If you guys think out the joint and

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: West drops like six one and six oh hammers on

60
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: you guys. Scheme is going away for a while, or

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: at least until I can find someone who I decide

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: and believe in can take down West. This is gonna

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: be some manny packs against the contestants. Now get rid

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: of this boring game. I am dan king. You know

65
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a Floyd Mayweather where West is

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: driving around ninety million dollar sports cars because he doesn't

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: have to beat anybody worth a damn. I'm gonna find

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: a real damn contender for West where the game's over,

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: good luck. I like it. The Mayweather comparison is apt

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: because West is very successful and is totally boring to watch. Yeah,

71
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was game is boring. You're

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: the boss. Let's start seeing something on today's show. We

73
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: have a lot to get to UH. In the news,

74
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: we have some injuries to talk about. Unfortunately, it's it's

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: something part of it. I always preface it by saying unfortunately,

76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: but it's just it's just me. There is a major

77
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: injury every three days, like on like without fail, including

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: a big one in Dallas last night. We're talking about

79
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: some veterans that finally got signed UH and joined some

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: teams that the some intriguing juice there. We're gonna hit

81
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: up the Hard Knox recap Um episode three of the

82
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: HBO documentary series profiling the Houston Texans and training camp

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: aired on Tuesday night. So we will talk about that show,

84
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: that excellent show, and uh then we will get into

85
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: a segment that I call teams we feel different about

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: over the course of a calendar month work shopping. The

87
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: title continues, We went through a couple of different titles

88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: yesterday in the office and that I'm sold on that.

89
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that was the best we got far. And

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: if anybody can think of a better one suit as

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: a tweet, So t is we feel different about over

92
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: the course of a calendar month. So basically, these are

93
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: teams that we feel different about than we did back

94
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: in July over the course of this calendar month ago. Alright,

95
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: and then maybe a surprise at the end of the show,

96
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: an old friend will stop by. But before we do

97
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: any of that, we check in with another, uh, well,

98
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: young youngish friend. He is TD. What is going on, guys?

99
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of games, I came up with a new game

100
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: to play with around the NFL. So you guys on

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,559
Speaker 1: your Twitter handle around the NFL. And now you gotta

102
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: guess whose tweet was that? So hashtag whose tweet is this? Anyway?

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Once this tweet goes off from around the NFL, guess who?

104
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Guess who sent out Danes? Look? Greg, and guess what

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: then the one the first time you played this game

106
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: over the weekend, you were dead wrong. You thought it

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: was me and it wasn't me. It was but I

108
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: wasn't working. This is the first time hearing of this,

109
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: but I I seem I like it. Yeah, I feel

110
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: like it could promote heat. I love it. Whose tweet

111
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: is this anyway? All right? So how do we do

112
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: this again? You guys said on this tweek listeners and

113
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, on Twitter's West to say his fans, you know,

114
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: just guess who tweet is it? Anyway? It was West

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: the other night, but it was either Greg. What was

116
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the tweet? It was about football play action and stuff,

117
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: So I knew it could have be Dan? Why not? Oh?

118
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I just thinking it couldn't be Dan. It also had

119
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: to do with like a big name. I don't know

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: what play action is? You know? Wait, so Dan isn't

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: you know, totally encapsulated in football, like ninety hours a week,

122
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: So it's not like talk, you know, But I see

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: that's wrong perception. I don't like your game at all.

124
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Let's listen this he's trying to get He got me

125
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: back then I thought, thank you, though I appreciate that.

126
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Denver Broncos, who we've talked about.

127
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: I've had a ton of concerns about their offensive line. Uh,

128
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: they just added a major name. Evan Mathis, formerly of

129
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles, signed a one year, four million dollar contracts

130
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: with the team on Tuesday. That fortifies left guard for them,

131
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: adds add some real veteran experience and a talented guy

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: to a team that had started three players without an

133
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: NFL snap of experience in their most recent preseason game.

134
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, start with you. A nice wind now moved

135
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: by the ultimate win now team in the league, isn't it.

136
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: It's huge, It's at a weak position. The price was right.

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: You said four million dollars, but that was with incentives.

138
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean they're paying them I think two point five

139
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: million dollar based salaries. So that's a great deal for

140
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: John Elway. I read something how they have eight different

141
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: guys who have been on a first or second team

142
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: All Pro in the last two years. I mean, you

143
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: don't put everything on that, but people forget Manning might

144
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: be injured or his his arm might not be great,

145
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: but they've got a lot of talent. Mathis adds to

146
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: that they needed to get a veteran on this line

147
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: to the lot of young guys, and you know, we

148
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: just Dan just took a knock for not knowing his football.

149
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: That's nonsense. In his post action is he pointed out

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: correctly that no no GM in the league is doing

151
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: what John Elway is doing in terms of collecting is

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: much talent. For this season alone, He's done a great

153
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: job of it. Elway does not get the credit he

154
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: deserves as a general. See I feel like he does

155
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: get credit. I will say that he does seem to

156
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: know how to stretch a buck. And I found it

157
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: interesting that Peyton Manning takes a four million dollar pay

158
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: cut in the offseason. Evan Mathis comes in a four

159
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: million There cannot be a better way to spend that

160
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: excess cap money. So in this case, it all pays

161
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: off in in a glorious way for Peyton Manning, who,

162
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: by the way, he's like thirty nine years old now

163
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: not moving any faster. So you don't want to have

164
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: some crappy line in front of you. This is a

165
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: perfect signing who's not buying that he turned down a

166
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: deal for five point five billions. I don't doubt that

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: his agent told him that, because, let's be frank, Evan

168
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Mathis is hubris, and his overestimation of his own value

169
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: lost him a significant amount of money. Because he was

170
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna he was gonna make a quent well focused blowing

171
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: smoke up if you know what, PFF might have cost

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: him a little bit money. He thought he had more

173
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: value than he did. He turned down an offered from

174
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles to get a one million dollar raise up

175
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: to six point five million, because he thought he wanted

176
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: something long term. He turned that down. He gets two

177
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and a half million. So you think Evan Mathis, which

178
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: I agree with the premise, but you think Evan Mathis

179
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: would have gone to a crappy fourth place team in

180
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: some other division for another million dollars? Yeah, I mean

181
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: there is is there no part of Evan Mathis still

182
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be part of this team. That's we didn't

183
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: want to be part of the Eagles, who are pretty

184
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: good because because he wanted a one because the one

185
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: million dollar raise wasn't big enough for him. So I

186
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: would think that money you could argue that a month

187
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: ago Evan Mathis would look and today look at Denver's

188
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: as a better super Bowl contender than the Eagles. Well,

189
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: the team right wrong. The team's brought up you know

190
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: around wre like how many teams are really non super

191
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: Bowl contenders. Maybe it was the Raiders or something, and

192
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: he didn't want to play for the Raiders. But if

193
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: it was the team's mentioned with matthis Jets Dolphins, it's

194
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: like whatever, you could you make the super Bowl? If

195
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm reading between the two, he's on Greg's analysis. What

196
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: the Boss is saying is that money really is the

197
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: root of all evil. That's not what I'm saying. It

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: makes the world go round in your in your estimation. No,

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm saying it was important to Evan Mathis, and

200
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: he cost himself a lot of money when that was

201
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: his prime objective. He might not be the best guard

202
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Just saying, if you're only getting two

203
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: point five million base salary, he might not be the

204
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: best guard in the NFL. That's what's called Wes's PFF

205
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: shot of the week. Just look, it's a shot at

206
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: people who take their word as gospel. They do great work.

207
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: An analytics site that studies every snap had Mathis list

208
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: is the number one guard in two thousand thirteen and

209
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve and number two last year despite the

210
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: missing seven games. So they loved Mathis. That's something only

211
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: a football head would really Yeah, TD, how about that?

212
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean he just keeps over and over the old

213
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: butt face. Next up, we had two big d very

214
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: bad news or cornerback Orlando Scandrick who collided with a

215
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver in practice. The result of that collision

216
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: they torn a c L and mc L in his

217
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: right knee. He will miss the remainder of the season.

218
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: This is a speaking of PF Skeandrick was ranked number

219
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: twelve out qualified corners, by far the best cornerback on

220
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys West. How did how did they survive this?

221
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: They lost shun Lee last year. They found a way,

222
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: but now they lose their best cornerback and not a

223
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: position of strength. Yeah, I mean, I think you said

224
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: it right there. It's hard to write off the Cowboys

225
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: defense because they lost guys last year and still survived

226
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: with a bunch of no name guys. So in the

227
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: secondary Byron Jones, their first round pick is gonna have

228
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: to step up and play, and they need more as Clayborne,

229
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, another first round pick, has been a massive

230
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: draft bus. They need him to finally play well. On

231
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Carr is one of the biggest free agent busts

232
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: of the last couple of years. He's really only on

233
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: this team because Jerry Jones is a rare owner willing

234
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: to just pay him anyways, because he's gonna play and

235
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: he's been terrible. Byron Jones isn't healthy. They need car

236
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: to step up. They do have a lot more talent

237
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: on defense this year than they did a year ago.

238
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: So even I think talking about another GM that's done

239
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: a good job as Jerry Jones went out and took

240
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: a few risk flyers on some guys like Collins on

241
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line and Gregory on defense. I like the

242
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I like the Byron Jones pick. Scandrick looked very good

243
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch. But to lose your top corner you're

244
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: a division with Odell Beckham, Sean Jackson and an Eagles

245
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: defense that pretty much does what it wants. It's tough

246
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: to lose your top cover man in that situation because

247
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: they don't have who but who's buying into Mo Claiborne

248
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: at this point, I'm not Jerry Gojones healthy. I mean,

249
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: who knows if we haven't seen it, knows? I Byron

250
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: Jones on the field problem, major problem, guys. All right,

251
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: I take back what I said about the football. Well,

252
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: I was like, you got the bottom dropped out of

253
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: the analysis there. I thought you guys had more in

254
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: the well. You shocked me. I'm sorry. Bad news when

255
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: you lose your top corner. Well, he's are you? I

256
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: know West isn't to most people out there. Orlando Scandrick

257
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: is known not for his play on the field, but

258
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: for his significant other. Are you aware of who is

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: significant other? Is? No? Probably like a housewife from some

260
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: city on the shore. Pretty much. You pretty much nailed it.

261
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: But yes, a very very famous one. I'm surprised Dan

262
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: doesn't know about this TD. TD has got it. No,

263
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm too busy calling Danny butt face over his what

264
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna By the way, don't don't beep out

265
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: butt face. Yeah, we gotta stop with the beeps on

266
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: the unnecessary stuff. And by the way, you can't call

267
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: me a butt face because I buried you with it first,

268
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: So it loses its power at the point. Right. She

269
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: was one of the basketball wives, Drea. I believe she's

270
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: the one that was with Walker first. I'm supposed to

271
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: know this, like and someone he pointed out that you

272
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't And I don't think graduations. Your wife is a

273
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: reality store. Let's keep moving. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a

274
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: new backup quarterback. His name is bark. It is Michael Vick. Yeah, buddy,

275
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: Michael Vick has a job. After months of way eating. Uh.

276
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: The opportunity arose after Bruce Grebkowski suffered a season ending

277
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: hand and shoulder injuries. UH in a Sunday's blood bath

278
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: against the Packers open the door for Vick, who worked

279
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: out with a team Tuesday, signed with them Tuesday night.

280
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Thirty five year old veteran Mark what does he got

281
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: left in the tanket? And do you like the signing? Well?

282
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: I like the signing. When they showed the list of

283
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: the top available quarterbacks if you needed a backup, it

284
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: is amazingly grizzly. And Vic at least is someone that Tomlin.

285
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: When Vick got out of jail, Tomlin was one of

286
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: the coaches that had interest in signing Vic. I think

287
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: the problem I have with Vick is what happened last

288
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: season where he was on a messy Jets team, but

289
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: after a bad performance, came out and said, hey, look

290
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: sorry I didn't prepare. It's like you even have to

291
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: you have to take your role seriously. I think Pittsburgh

292
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: is not gonna allow for that nonsense. He was the

293
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: best of the guys. It's the best. It's a much

294
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: better fit than last year. He knows what his role

295
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: is here, and yeah, he has to be better than

296
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: he was with the Jets because I sent a tweet

297
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: out a few weeks back about Vic saying how he

298
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was the answer. This was after

299
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: Gino Smith got punched. You don't want to bring him back?

300
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: And I got flooded because Vic has a very dedicated

301
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: fan base to this day. But you don't know what

302
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Blah blah blah. Probably t D doesn't

303
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: think I know what I'm talking about, um, But the

304
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: fact that matters. He wasn't good last year. He was

305
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: a bad quarterback. But maybe Greg in this situation, he'll

306
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: be better. He is he worse than Bruce Gadkowski. I

307
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: doubted him a good thing. I'm not sure, if it's

308
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: an upgrade. I would say Vic had two of the

309
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: worst ten to fifteen quarterback performances of the entire season

310
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: last year. In two of his games were just unbelievably bad.

311
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: The rest of his games were fine. I mean, he

312
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: was okay and looks like has dipped drastically each season.

313
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: It's a great situation, though, you know you're behind a

314
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: guy who takes a lot of hits. Ben Roethlisberg has

315
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: been known to miss a game or two. He bring

316
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: in Vick and he's got the best weapons of his

317
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: career right, come in and in the playoffs, helped them

318
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: to a playoff win, and then they win the Super

319
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Bowl and Michael Vick goes out on top. Wouldn't that

320
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: be a happy ending for a Yeah? But the look

321
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: at the difference and skilled position between the Jets and

322
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers. If he's even you know, sixty of what

323
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: he used to be, I could see him doing some things.

324
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: And if he gets some playing time. Rather starting the

325
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: game Michael Vick or Ryan Fitzpatrick, I wouldn't even assume

326
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. I would rather have Fitzpatrick and I wouldn't

327
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: assume he's the backup either Landry Jones looked pretty good preseason.

328
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: I think I'm signing him to be the third string

329
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: guy coming here's a chance he doesn't make the team.

330
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance he shows up there and

331
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: he's a thirty five year old quarterback. I don't know

332
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Landry Jones. I don't think that they feel much for

333
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: Landry Jones at all. And that's why this happened. They

334
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: have to get another veteran, another quarterback in there at

335
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: least to take a look. He's looked okay in the preseason.

336
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. What's up to? You got a

337
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: question for you, Dan? You want to be football and

338
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: it looks like at a football question for you? Sure?

339
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: What year was Michael Vick uncover with Madden? Which came

340
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: out football question? But I'll give you the answer. Yeah.

341
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: Uh he was the first overall pick in two thousand

342
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: one and he was on the cover of Madden two

343
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: thousand three four. You're a fool, it's not Dan, Do

344
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: you want to be a football analyst? He already is.

345
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: That's what he's been employees for half a decade. He's

346
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: been doing this job. You know what, you don't thank

347
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: you Mark. We don't need to justify it to this

348
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: guy that just asked me a football question about who

349
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: was on the cover of a video game twelve years ago?

350
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: You know where are we right now? What was the

351
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: two thousand four And let me tell you something to

352
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: give me a little football now, is that you would

353
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: have no idea of he's on the cover of Madden

354
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: in the two thousand four game. Broke his leg in

355
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: the preseason that year and missed half the year. But

356
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: you probably I probably wouldn't know that, baby, I knew

357
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: that right up. But listening to the podcast, you know

358
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: right now TV is actually on the floor in a

359
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: fetal position singing that same song as Mom sang to anyone,

360
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: t D, how I love you so much, You're such

361
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: a great boy. He sounds nothing like that. Anyone listens

362
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: to the podcast should be watching the podcast. I've seen

363
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: the great show we're producing here beyond what I'm busy doing. Oh,

364
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: t D, what are you doing? A disturbing fifteen seconds

365
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: from a company man, t D. I listened to the show.

366
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't it was I don't know what you're talking

367
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: about talking about Madden. That's not football, that's a video game.

368
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: His mom is suddenly from like Middle Ireland. He was

369
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: he was the extra on Boardwalk Empire. I love, I

370
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: mean I lost the impression. What would come back to me? Eventually?

371
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Moving on, Reggie Wayne has agreed to a one year

372
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: deal with the Patriots. This went down on Monday, right

373
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: as we're coming downstairs. So I when I touch on this,

374
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne entering his fifteen season, looked, you know, do

375
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: you and done to a lot of people last year,

376
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: including uh, including the people in this room. But perhaps

377
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: now that he's got that thrown as Lee's on him

378
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: a little a little excited about Reggie Wayne having an impact.

379
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: I love Reggie Wayne, but I don't I would be

380
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: surprised if he had a huge impact. I mean, if he, however,

381
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: was going to have some success, you would think it

382
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: would be with Tom Brady, and you know, he's a

383
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: very smart receiver and maybe he'll be that crafty guy

384
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: that catches forty passes. But that I would be sped.

385
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: You Wayne get more guaranteed money than Evan Mathis he did,

386
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: did he He had what four fifty dollars? That told

387
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: me that he's making the team. Edelman is not a

388
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: lock to play in Week one. According to what he

389
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: said himself, and Brandon LaFell could open on the pup list.

390
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: It's not that Reggie Wayne is being brought into be

391
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: a major part of this offense. But Bill Belichick loves

392
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: this guy, called him versatile, He's a smart player, but

393
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: he is having to learn a tough playbook out of

394
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: the gate from the start. It's only because of injuries

395
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have signed him. They put two receivers on

396
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: injured reserve this week, Brian Tim's and Brandon Gibson, who

397
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: both had a decent shot to make the team. They

398
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: have more injury at receiver and so you give away

399
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: a chance. This is Reggie Wayne's age thirty seventh season

400
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: and the history of wide receivers thirty seven or older. Basically,

401
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: unless you're Jerry Rice, you're not helping your team if

402
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: it's just for a couple of weeks. Though, the Reggie

403
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: waying that we saw last year could not help a

404
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: team now he had surgeries to fix those issues. I

405
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: don't know what he's gonna look like this year, but

406
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was the worst starting wide receiver in

407
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: the NFL. Issue He did say, you know he's had

408
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: three surgeries in what twenty months, and he maybe he's

409
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: just saying this, but he said that he was never

410
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: healthy on any level from week one through the end

411
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: of the year. That was obvious. That's what happens in

412
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: near thirty six year old water sooner. But I guess

413
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at him as like a couple of weeks

414
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: patch until you get Edelman back, not you know that

415
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: you get your your LaFell back down the road. They're

416
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: very thin at the big drafted Danny Ammond Dola in

417
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: my Fantasy league, number one receiver for the Patriots. This

418
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: is your chance and that later there's a tease, TD.

419
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: You have another question. I got another question in the

420
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: football quitch for you, Dad. A lot of teams. This

421
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: is straight football, Rigie, Wayne, What hit comedy show did

422
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: you appear on in the last two years? What comedy

423
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: show did This is also is not football. But yeah,

424
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: I'll use my lifeline West Parks and Recreation. So Daniel

425
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: Ols for two, I'm gonna Goreea. I'll go Shaws of Sunset. No,

426
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: it was Parks is absolutely correct. Dan's over two. West

427
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: is one f one. Al Right, Next up, let's talk

428
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: a little hard Knocks Episode three, and Greg, while we're here,

429
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: you're all, man, where's the value? Yes, go to NFL

430
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: dot com Hard Knocks the best recap on the web.

431
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I joke about the vanity or l

432
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: but this one's simple. NFL dot Com, Slash Dan's hot take,

433
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Slash hard Knocks, slash members, password, cool cats. That's not

434
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: how the internet works if you're looking for clicks. Okay,

435
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: episode three, Uh listen, This season is a lot to me,

436
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot better than the previous season. I thought this

437
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: episode maybe it was a little bit of a step

438
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: back personally, but still, um, okay, well we'll get into that.

439
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: I well, maybe what left me a little bit dry

440
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: was that they had the big hook of the episode,

441
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: which was the Mallet Hoyer decision by Bill O'Brien. He

442
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: goes into that office and you're hoping for some you know,

443
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: real dramatics there. Not only is you don't ever see

444
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: the faces or here or anything from either those quarterbacks.

445
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: They have Bill Brian walk out in the episode ends.

446
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: I wish I could have seen a little more interaction

447
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: after that, because you don't really get to see that

448
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: decision too often, especially on TV. So to me, that

449
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: was the thing I would be disappointed about. But there's

450
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things greg that to take out of

451
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: the episode as well. Well. First of all, you said it,

452
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: you don't get to see that. So even that, just

453
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: having that moment and and just knowing the timeline happened

454
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, so that's right before the show. That

455
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: might have been a little tricky to get that into

456
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: the show and everything. And I think there's there is

457
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: a point where the Texans don't you know, they have

458
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: some they don't have editorial control at all, but they

459
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: can't shut down, so they probably don't want to see

460
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: They don't want to put Malin Hoyer in a spot

461
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: where they're seeing them talk about it or whatever happens after.

462
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't even that interest. I thought it was

463
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: really interesting. And I'm always really jealous of coaches on

464
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks in general, and this is a good example

465
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: how they have meetings that lasts like ninety seconds long,

466
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: huge decisions. They don't say they're sorry, they don't try

467
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: to make everyone feel better. To Bill, Brian just sits down,

468
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: he says that he gets up and leaves it. It's over.

469
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: That's the big decision. You take inspiration from that. Yeah,

470
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: I want to have short meetings. I've never said anything anything.

471
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: You're an anti meeting guy. I found an interesting you

472
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: know you for any other team not on hard knocks,

473
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: you have to kind of read between the lines. But

474
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: he said if all Brian said, Brian Hoyer, listen, you're

475
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: the starter, but I'm not gonna wait for you for

476
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: eight weeks. If if you're bad, I'm gonna get I'm

477
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna get the other guy in there. And he also

478
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: said that Brian said the same thing to his coaches

479
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: before that meeting, where he said, I think he referred

480
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: to four weeks. He said, if he's not doing the job,

481
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the other guy. So there's no

482
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer is on a short leash. Even if O'Brien

483
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: used the words he's not on the short he also

484
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: called him to the coach is basically the same guy.

485
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Which is funny because you think that, oh, these guys

486
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: have these takes on these two quarterbacks after all this practice,

487
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: that we can only guess what they're thinking. But they're

488
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: sitting in the coach room He's like, I don't see

489
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: a whole lot of difference between these two. The leash

490
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: is not super short, but if you're if a month

491
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: is stinks, you're out there. I found it telling. He said,

492
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, Hoyer is more consistent in all aspects and

493
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: the trust him has had the meeting room, the building

494
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: and everything. And I kind of put that against the

495
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: other scene where Ryan Mallett is involved in every single

496
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: game of whatever they called it, kick the gigantic plastic

497
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: ball tennis things, which looked like a lot of fun,

498
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: and I thought we should play that. You remember what

499
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: was what was the Swenness and Swattess looked like a

500
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: lot of fun. But Matt Ryan Mall to Swenness was

501
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: like West to Cornhole. He's in there playing Suennous all day.

502
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: Is the start. I don't know. That just struck me.

503
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: He's the Swennis guy. You don't what Tom Brady and

504
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: they're playing Suennos all day. Greg, Mark you that's true?

505
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It was an absurd game.

506
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: Mark you. You got up this morning, you watched early

507
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: on HBO go this after Greg gave you the stern

508
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: talking to about not watching the last week episode. This

509
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: time you delivered. Yeah, I mean, well, you know number one,

510
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: I watched last week's very late in the game, and

511
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: it hooked me, and so I got up early to

512
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: watch this. I think, for me, all these teams that

513
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: don't want to do this, especially the marginalized teams that

514
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of coverage, bad move. Because I

515
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: think if you're Bill O'Brien, my impression of who Bill

516
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: O'Brien was a year ago to this summer after watching

517
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: these three episodes completely transformed. I really feel, number one,

518
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: that he is an excellent coach who is quick with

519
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: his decisions and he means what he says. But well,

520
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, it's a cynical world we live in.

521
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: But when they showed him when he goes home to

522
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: his family and his kids, I mean, I just think, like,

523
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: this guy is the real deal. I mean, if anyone

524
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: he has a special needs child, anyone that's ever had

525
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: that in her life or as a parent, deal with that.

526
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: The way that he came through that door and became

527
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: a completely different person, um, you know, and I think

528
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: there's a real appreciation for who he is as a father, husband,

529
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: but then also as a coach. I just think more

530
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: coaches should want it if you can deliver. He's delivered

531
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: he can't. I mean, he came off extremely well and

532
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: he's seemed very genuine. My wife had to leave the

533
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: room during that scene. It was have you seen his son,

534
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: Jack is thirteen years old, has a very serious um

535
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: birth disorder that he was born with that he has

536
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: seizures every morning when he wakes up. He issues with

537
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: his eyes, clearly, you know, a very disabled child. And

538
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: and to see how he interacted with him and then

539
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: see him go back to it's it's amazing because you

540
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: hear all the times about all the time, how much

541
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: these guys have to put in, how much work. Then

542
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: he goes home and he has all these other obstacles

543
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: that him and his wife Colleen her names, they have

544
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: to overcome as well. It's pretty amazing. I mean, I

545
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: don't know how you can root against the guy. That's

546
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: that's why. And I agree I used The Texans are

547
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: one of my have been one of my least favorite

548
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: teams for a while for no particular reason, and now

549
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: this is making them like them a lot. And that's

550
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: why I was thinking about it. It's like, forget the

551
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: Sports Emmy for this show. This should be in the

552
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: mix for a real LeMans I mean, what other shows

553
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: are are mixing in just the way it's all cut together,

554
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: real like life decisions in terms of the quarterback thing.

555
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: And then you also have like your star quality with J. J. Watt.

556
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: That's been a lot of fun. Uh, and then you

557
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: have a real heavy sort of life situation in terms

558
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: of right, I mean, what are the shows are showing

559
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: everything like Rick Flair and Randy Macho man sandwich impressions.

560
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't get anybody. I also think that J. J.

561
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: Watt and Vince Wilford together, Now I came down hard

562
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: on Watt in the first episode. I came around I

563
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: think number one, he is who he is. But the

564
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: two of them where they're just sitting around talking about

565
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: how much they love breakfast and brunch, and Will Folks

566
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: is talking about his wife cooking up a huge breakfast.

567
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: That's my true Detective season three pairing right there. Will

568
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: for well and it's a great outlet for fans. And

569
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: this is why the NFL loves this show, because you

570
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: become fans of low guys you've never heard of before,

571
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: and it puts a face on them, Like I am

572
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: a fan of Charles James. Now the rest of his career,

573
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: I will think I love I love that guy. I'm

574
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: a fan of Easy. I don't know how to say

575
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: watch I like Courtney Brown. I mean that was a

576
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: nice moment, just that moment that you don't even think

577
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: about Courtney Brown having a big interception in the preseason,

578
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: that that was the best moment. Everyone bags on the preseason.

579
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: And this guy is flipping his game ball in the

580
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: air with a grin a mile wide in his face.

581
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: You see, like how much these things mean to the guy.

582
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Easy, they sent him to NASA sometimes

583
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: Hard the whole group. When the whole group goes and

584
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: Easy has these are the comments he asked the NASA

585
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: official is their water on space? Hard? Question on space?

586
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: And then they give him the phone to talk to

587
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: the guys in the actual space station and his first question,

588
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: Hello to you brothers. My name is Easy. I got

589
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: a couple of questions, questions, I loved Pluto as a planet.

590
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: What happened there on the phone to actual dudes in space.

591
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: They were looking the one guy behind him as he

592
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: was like unfurling these questions, Like the NaSTA gut behind

593
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: him was just like who is yeah, dude? Like at

594
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: first the NaSTA guy behind him who's like trying to

595
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: save the world, that's his job. He has a kind

596
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: of a bemused grin by by the end of it,

597
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: he's like, get this clown out about excuse me, get

598
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: this guy out of my studio. That that moment that

599
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: has to love it because his childlike wonder when he

600
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: was like, wait, this is the real this is the

601
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: real thing. I mean he was genuinely just like wildly excited.

602
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: So he asked him what to eat up there? Do

603
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: you guys grill? But somehow he doesn't easy doesn't get

604
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: quote of the day that goes to Chris Poke running

605
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: back a new catchphrase. I'll be using it often. We

606
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: actually got to cut over the show. Oh Bang Bang,

607
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: Chicken and shrimp love it? Well, I guess I'm the

608
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: only one that sorry, guys that I liked it. I

609
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: love learning about like Mike Rabel, who I think is

610
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: you find out how far are these position coaches have

611
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: to work. I mean, it's just you learned that with

612
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: Greg the Texans hard not to root for him. Now

613
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: I said that Bang, Bang, Chicken and shrimp, TD, Do

614
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: you have anything else? I have? The last question in

615
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: the football quays for you can. Alright, we're talking hard knocks.

616
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: I want you to name the seven teams that have

617
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: period on the show Hard Knocks. Oh my god, you're

618
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: the worst. How is this entertaining for people to listen

619
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: to the football show? Alright? The Cowboys, Chiefs, the Bengals,

620
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: don't help them, the Chiefs, the Dolphins, the Jets, the Falcons,

621
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Oh that wasn't officially, and the Texans ven

622
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: there's one more, but you forgot the Ravens. And but

623
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: there was more than seven, you know what? Seven? All right,

624
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 1: thank you? That's seven teams produced by NFL Films. By

625
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: the way, t D, I will I will go check

626
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: it again, but I'm pretty sure that was more than

627
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: seven teams. So if you're gonna be in charge of

628
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: a game, know what you're talking about. A lot of

629
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: t D early in the show, in a production meeting.

630
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: I want the listeners to notice too. Sometimes when TV

631
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: people are going at and we'll go all right, well

632
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: either way, so we should start an either way counter

633
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter every time he says it. That's why you here.

634
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: Let's move the show on, because you know we got

635
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot to get to, all right, let's move on.

636
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: There's the guy who just asked the random questions, mundane

637
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: question about the history of an HBO show, foot, hard

638
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: Hit and football questions. Guys, all right, enough with you

639
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: t D and no more questions. I think I've proved

640
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: myself be on the shadow of a doubt. Let's move

641
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: on to our next segment, which is called teams we

642
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: feel different about over course of calendar month. Just rolls

643
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: right right off the time. So calendar month of me

644
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: and we're just counting August. We can't consider the last week.

645
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: I could dip into July a little bit. Okay, so

646
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: maybe they maybe on top of it being a little cumbersome.

647
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: It's not quite accurate, but enough of it's there that

648
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: people would understand what this is about. Teams that you

649
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: felt a certain way about on August one or maybe July,

650
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: and now you feel differently for one, either good or bad.

651
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: You just feel differently. The home run segment coming at you.

652
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: Home run and we'll start with Chris Westling, the male

653
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: man here. What is a team that you feel different

654
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: about over the course of calendar month. I feel differently

655
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: about Kevin Patra's Detroit Lion. I think going into training camp.

656
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: The Vikings were my choice and all other people's choices

657
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: to be the frisky team in the NFC North. And

658
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: now I think the Lions are just a better team.

659
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: They were better last year by quite a bit, and

660
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: I think they're better this year. You've got questions I

661
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: have before camp. Is a mere Abdullah an impact rookie?

662
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: Will he be splitting with Joey Bell? Will it be

663
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: an afterthought? That was one question? How does defense look

664
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 1: without in Dominan Sue? I mean, this guy was one

665
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: of the top five players and on the defensive side

666
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: of the ball last year. How you know without Nick Fairley?

667
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: How is that front seven? And then Eric Ebron the

668
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: first round pick last year was a massive disappointment. Matthew

669
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: Stafford was inconsistent last year. Is that connection between the

670
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: two of them fixable? So it gives the offense an

671
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: explosive third weapon? And then now after priests, after a

672
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: couple weeks of preseason, after training camp, I'm near a bill.

673
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: It has to be one of the favorites for Offensive

674
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. He looks like an impact player. Um,

675
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: I think he looks like a star and he gives

676
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: this offense, another weapon. He fits really well in their offense.

677
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: And then the front seven looks like they almost killed

678
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: r G three. I mean they were all over him.

679
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: That was their first first string defense. They looked pretty

680
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: phenomenal to me. And then if you add Ibron to

681
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate, this is one of the

682
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: best trios in the league. If if Abron makes that leap,

683
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: this could be an explosive offense, So you you would

684
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: count them as well. It's weird to count a team

685
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: that made the playoffs last year within eleven and five record,

686
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: by the way, a better record than Eli Manning and

687
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: the Giants have had in like seven having super Bowl seasons.

688
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: You're when you count them as a sleeper team then,

689
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: because no one's talking about the Lions like they're going

690
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, I don't know what. I

691
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: don't know what the word sleeper means in sports anymore.

692
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: It's changed this meaning so much in the past couple

693
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: of decades. But you're right that nobody's talking about them.

694
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the Viking. You're putting them in the playoffs.

695
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: But I'll throw it out there, just the heat check

696
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: on the Lions, Jordy Nelson out of the picture, the

697
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: Lions all a sudden looking super frisky. Any chance they

698
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: contend for that division? Sure? Why not? With it outright

699
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: beat out the pack there's a chance. Yeah, they beat

700
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: the Packers one players year al right. Next up, Greg

701
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: Rosen thought, we would like to know the teams that

702
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: you feel different about over the course of a calendar month.

703
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: Why don't you give us the same thing a little

704
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: before and a little after, well, you know, going into

705
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: late July and then into August, because that's the month

706
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: we're looking at. You know, I'm a Patriots fan. I'm

707
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna start there, and I just figured, okay, it's the Patriot. Uh.

708
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Some things don't look great on paper, but they figure

709
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: everything out. And then you know, my other, you know,

710
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: second point is like, well, who really cares? At this point,

711
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: I have experienced more joy because of this great football

712
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: team than I could possibly hope to imagine. I'm on

713
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: the throne of these Everything is great. It doesn't matter

714
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: what happens. My third point, because they wanted us to

715
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: make three, was point number one, Uh was Pat's figure

716
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: everything out. But I have to admit, after the last

717
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: few weeks I feel a little different after the fact.

718
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at their wide receiver situation. Uh,

719
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: that's a mess. It's it's a total disaster. Right now.

720
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: Five of their top six wide receivers are injured. If

721
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: when Danny A. Mendola is the only healthy guy, that's

722
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, if Danny A. Mendola is your

723
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: beacon of health and you're throw throwing it to Jim A.

724
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: Mundine as your top tight end to start preseason, that's

725
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: a problem. Running Backs are a mess. You know, guys

726
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: like Dion Lewis are playing with the first team. The

727
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are a mess. Malcolm Butler is the number one cornerback,

728
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: and Terrell Brown, who has been cut by the forty

729
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: Niners and and Raiders, is another starter. Um like this

730
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,479
Speaker 1: or offensive line could be a mass to a couple

731
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: of rookies starting. We'll see how that works out. I

732
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just you know part My fifth point

733
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: would be the Pats figure everything out in the end. Anyways,

734
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: it's the Patriots. I'm just saying that's a I think

735
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: Keith Monkhrey is gonna end up with eighty cashes for

736
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: a thousand yards this year. How about that saying it's

737
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: all coming crumbling down on one level, like that's all true.

738
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: On the other, I feel a disconnect from it all

739
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm content if it all fell apart now,

740
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: it's been great. That's I mean, that's the throne of

741
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: these in a in a nutshell. Apparently there's a rights

742
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: issue now with a throne of these music, so we

743
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: can't play it. I'm getting told behind the glass. Yeah,

744
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: it has to do with like it's like a singer

745
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: songwriter from the thirteenth century up in arms about there.

746
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: I called that audio from seriously a guy that died

747
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: four years ago. We're gonna get banged by a copyright lawyer.

748
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: Classical tracks, Man, you're allowed to play anything that's so real,

749
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: hundred years old. That's the that's the rule. That is

750
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: the rule. Maybe check the rules. There's a test for you, TV.

751
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: Let's get some old classical music. Stop ruining the show. Okay,

752
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: I think I'm overreacting to the patriots. I think you're reacting. Fine,

753
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: but you've said it yourself. It's gonna be week eight.

754
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: There'll be seven and one. We'll forget that. Absolutely, they'll

755
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: be four and four at the midway point. Probably probably.

756
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: Do they have more issues right now than they did

757
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: after the Chiefs blowout in Week four lationship? I think so, yeah, yeah,

758
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: because Tom Brady wasn't about to sit out the next

759
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: four games. I mean with the Eagles, and I think

760
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: it's one of the outside of the Niners, one of

761
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: the teams that the offseason was a little bit seen

762
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: as a boom or bust because so many changes were

763
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: being made, and I had my doubts because Number one,

764
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: my first question was, all right, you wouldn't got Sam Bradford.

765
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: I get that everyone likes something like his draft pedigree

766
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: and he's a great fit for this offense. But can

767
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: he walk? We have not seen a quarterback come off

768
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: with two massive knee surgery, So it's clear question mark

769
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: number two. You know you got DeMarco Murray, you got

770
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. Is it too much of a good thing

771
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: or they're going to the issues? Are they gonna complain

772
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: about playing time? Number three? Well, it was a fair question.

773
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: Can he walk? Can he be mobile on a football field?

774
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: That's different, different things that I had not seen him walk.

775
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: I wanted to know a year ago at the time

776
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: he could not walk. Question it's our question. Number three.

777
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: Is Chip Kelly potentially just insane and he's just you know,

778
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: he's a king running wild over his kingdom. Now here

779
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: we are, you know, a calendar month later, from July

780
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: to August twenty six, full calendar month. I feel very

781
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: confident about this Eagles, and I probably was late to

782
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: the draw. I think so other people thought had that

783
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: confidence all along. I think Bradford in the one brief

784
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: drive that we saw, he moved fine, he took a

785
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: couple of big hits, got up. We'll see if that last.

786
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: Murray and Murray and Matthews, I think this is gonna

787
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: this is gonna sing. We did have them ranked as

788
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: the number one backfield in our backfield rankings. But here,

789
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: well listen, Matt Matthews. All these people that said matt

790
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: uses just being signed because they felt bad for him,

791
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: and he was in the complex. He looks fantastic in

792
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: this offense. Last Riot, All right, today, crazy guys, I'm done.

793
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 1: What's the point. Can't get to a segment without these clowns.

794
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: I think the third thing is Chip Kelly. You know,

795
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: he's put his entire reputation on the line, and I

796
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: think it works. He's sort of saying, when when you

797
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt, when you're when you're

798
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you signed guys, you cut him. It's Belichick.

799
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: You know what you're doing. I don't think chip Kelly

800
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: did not have that reputation in Philly. That's a tough town.

801
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: I think he will after this season if they continue.

802
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: Why did you throw your papers down? Why are you

803
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: so angry? No, I'm not angry. I'm trying to see

804
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: the script on the show, and I got three clowns

805
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: just shoutingco he's out on again. And plus you're making

806
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: fun of a co worker who works in our company.

807
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: So oh, Charlie Castle, who's a gentleman. That's a cast voice.

808
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: That was it. That was that was these guys are well.

809
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: It's just funny that you said that the two running

810
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 1: backs would really make it sing this Ye they're gonna

811
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: just sounds kind of like an old, tiny Broadway reviewer something.

812
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: That was what I was going for. I had nothing

813
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: to do with Charley Cash. I got you took that personally.

814
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: All right, all right, here we go. I'll talk about

815
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: the Jets. I was very excited about the Jets in

816
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: July and maybe I'll talk I'm sure I'll talk myself

817
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: into them. This is what things look like. Um, you know,

818
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: in July the Jets had potentially the best defensive line

819
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: in football. You had I don't know if you guys

820
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: know this nickname, the Sons of Anarchy. Uh, for your

821
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: three sons. And then Lenny Williams taking the six overall pick.

822
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: You put it all together. Hubba hubba, Yes there you go.

823
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: Took a minute. Yeah, anyways, Gino Smith, Greg, even though

824
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: I've been fighting this since day one, Greg pumping up

825
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: Gino as I'm making the leap guy. And yeah, I

826
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: talked myself into that a little bit. I said, yeah,

827
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: some good reports he's hanging out with Brandon Marshall and

828
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: the good Brandon Marshall year, maybe some good chemistry. And

829
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, Todd Bawls replaces Rex Ryan. Goodbye,

830
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: Goodbye Circus. It's gonna be a tighter ship. It's gonna

831
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: be a new new horizon for the Jets. And now

832
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: after Sheldon gone at least four probably more, after all

833
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: his problems, we already I already knew he was gonna

834
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: be suspended four games, but now who knows what's gonna

835
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: happen after his uh speed racing debut in St. Louis. Uh,

836
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: you know, Geno can't get past the metal detector now

837
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: without incident, can't do it. He's got he's got screws

838
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: in his job because straight up, and you know, sometimes

839
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: you get farther further away from something and you you

840
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: don't even did that really happen? His teammate punched him

841
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: in the jaw and broke it and it ruined his

842
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: career most likely. Well, I don't it to be fair,

843
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if the metal detector thing is going

844
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: to be a huge setback, it'll still let him. It's

845
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: still it's embarrassing, doesn't even have to get through the meal.

846
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: These guys get like private plane don't well to flare

847
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: up on Southwest. It was Jet Blue, Yeah, but that

848
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: wasn't as fault. And finally, and finally guess up the

849
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: clown car because that was again a classic Jets uh

850
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: malfunctioned moment, the whole Geno thing, and it took all

851
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: the attention away from all the positive things and free

852
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: agent with Revis and a really good draft and again

853
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: made the Jets a punchline. So have I counted out

854
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: the Jets absolutely not. I will never stop believing Gang Green,

855
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: but there is some reason for concern and just keep

856
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: it a real That's something I feel different about over

857
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: the course of a calendar month. The one thing I

858
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: would take issue with is the fact that they're just

859
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: a big old clown car again, because I think you've

860
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: got a coach and general manager that on the same page.

861
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: I think the GM situation is a thousand times better

862
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: than it was a year ago. Bowls is universally respected now.

863
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: He's encountered a lot of nonsense over the first month.

864
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: But this isn't what made the Jets a clown car

865
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: in years past. I see that a little differently, and

866
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: if they can avoid any other incidents, this will be

867
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: forgotten by by week one. But I mean they're a

868
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: clown card. If one more thing happens, then you know

869
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is in trouble a lots. In a long term,

870
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: I think they're fine, but when the two of the

871
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: five most high profile players on the team have like

872
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: disastrous comical incidents within a couple of weeks, all right,

873
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: that's it for that little talk there. We'll check in

874
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: with all those teams and see if we're still concerned

875
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: another calendar month from now. Before we get out of here, though,

876
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, we need to touch base with someone. And

877
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: it's been a couple of weeks now, and this is

878
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: a gentleman that he's our New Jersey correspondent. He he's

879
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: a guy that there's a lot of times where he

880
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 1: gets upset about things and you wonder, oh, is it gonna,

881
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, blow his top? Is it a potential for

882
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: a dangerous situation for all of us? So what we

883
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: did we installed a segment into the show that allows

884
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: our gentleman from the New Jersey to get things off

885
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: his chest and share them with the world and keep

886
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: himself saying it's it's a segment that we call are

887
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: you kidding Me? With connor Or? And here he is

888
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: for the first time, our listeners, you just know, for

889
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: the first time we have on Skype, Skype paying us

890
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: for us. By the way, are we paying Skype in

891
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: contract negotiations? Okay? Um connor Or from his haunted mansion

892
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, And my goodness, it really does look scary.

893
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: It's just it looks beautiful, beautiful, sunlit room tall right now,

894
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: how you doing buddies. Well, you know it is time.

895
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: I know you've had a couple of weeks to think

896
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: about something that's really been grinding your gears, So why

897
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: don't you go ahead and get it off your chest. Yeah,

898
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: I think this week we need to talk about the

899
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: dumbest thing in the Anti preseason, which is Joy practices,

900
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: without question, the stupidest thing. Wow, this is actually about

901
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: the football end of things. Joy practices are stupid? Why

902
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: so why are they so stupid? All right? So you

903
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: could aband like you know in high school when you

904
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: go out to practice, you know, which is the last

905
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: experience like a professional practice. But you're already hot and

906
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 1: angry and you don't want to be there. So let's

907
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: bring in people that you don't know that are probably

908
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna make you angrier, and let's meet to learn fake place.

909
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: So it's not to give away with your actual pact totally.

910
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: It's all just a wild, dangerous farce. Yeah, and you see,

911
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: So you see this and correct me if I'm wrong.

912
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: As something that there's really nothing to gain from it.

913
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: It only could promote bad things. This is one of

914
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: those dumb things that like Bill belshare decided to do

915
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 1: once and then everyone's like, oh well if Bill Belichick doesn't,

916
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: and we all need to do it because listen to

917
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: the hooded one, he'll never let you down. Like, wow,

918
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: we need rights for that. I was waiting for this,

919
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: mself waiting for I'm not eating a videos. I think

920
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: I think you're doing a great job. So do you

921
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: have anything else to get off your chest, either about

922
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: joy practice or something else in life? Well, actually, everybody,

923
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: you're really quickly to say that, I've complete about face

924
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: on Odell Beckham and everyone should be completely cool to

925
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: him because he's now player. Wow. Why is that? Wait,

926
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: it says, not believable for anyone that's unaware. Connor ores

927
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: has takes a lot of issues with Odell Beckham, the

928
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: talented Giants receiver being a total ego maniac. What's changed it?

929
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: But anyway, I think that he's making the game fun

930
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: again and all lest being chastised for celebration completely people

931
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: circle and I'm dedicating all my energy going to American gas.

932
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: Don't forget this is a kid's game. Wow, so insummation.

933
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: You hate joint practices, they're all bad. Odell Beckham forget

934
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: about what he does concentrating the people that are against

935
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: him for having fun like you a week ago. And

936
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: is there anything else you have to say? There's some

937
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: guy in like de Moines that's like, wait a second,

938
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: I played that riff? How is that not copyrighted? Connor?

939
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Be safe. That tree looks like

940
00:47:51,440 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: it's potentially dangerous behind you. Well guess what, Connor, you

941
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: live in a haunted house. I'm sure the spirits will

942
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: to keep the living thing that is a tree away

943
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: from you, and you will be safe. You pay a

944
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: mortgage to buddy, a lot of responsibility for Thank you

945
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: very much, Connor, and we'll see you soon. I love

946
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: seeing Connor. I know he's maybe a little uncomfortable at

947
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: first about it, but once he gets comfortable. Sneaky factoid

948
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: about that room. He tells me that whenever the the

949
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: in laws come over a bunch of other people and

950
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: it gets a little stressful that he retreats. He has

951
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: like a backhouse room. He retreats there and he plays Madden.

952
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: And he's created a Madden team where Pat Devlin has

953
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: led this so called hodgepodge of players to too straight

954
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: Madden super Bowl. So a lot of action in that room.

955
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: So in some ways very mature got the mortgage. In

956
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: other ways, he's like a twelve year old. He's like

957
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 1: he's like a developing teenager that owns property in New Jersey.

958
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: It actually makes a ton of sense because he's a

959
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old guy that got roped into a

960
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: mortgage and fiance. Well, I think you think it, really

961
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: think it's still a boy at the same time, So

962
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: he has these competing influences as adolescence and manhood pulling

963
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: at him in each direction. That's fascinating. He's got an

964
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: internal struggle, which is probably where a lot of the

965
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: or you kidding me angst is formed from. I like

966
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: how when the in laws come over, he doesn't socialize.

967
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: He retreats to his deck, and then you need a release,

968
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: like my in laws, who I like very much. On

969
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: Bob and and Bates, they're coming on. They're coming tomorrow night,

970
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: actually staying for the weekend. I'm looking forward to Bob.

971
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: Bait's a big time listener to I was wondering why

972
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: you were in a bad mood today, Not true at all.

973
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. If I did not get

974
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: along with man loves or I didn't feel like hanging

975
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: out with him, and I just disappeared and played video

976
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: games for an hour. That wouldn't go over well with

977
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: the wife. Why does Gregg? It's just on snitching on

978
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: you today? Well that was also that was when you

979
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: call a false snitch. Yeah, that's not snitching. That's called humor.

980
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: You know, I was making something up for the sake

981
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 1: of a joke. Bad Kadi. That's called condescense, listen lessons

982
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: and broadcasting just being dispensed at will. All right, that's

983
