Speaker 1: that about fighting the millennials? Hand the same stopped coming

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: after the listeners. We've done big part of ours after

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: the listeners. I feel like that happened four years ago.

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: I stopped getting on millennials a long time ago. I think, Yeah.

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: I used to tell them to read a book quite often,

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: you know what, right around the time, a book once

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: in a while, Millennials, right around the time you met

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: a woman who was known as the paramore. But now

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: she has a name. It's Lakisha and uh West, this

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: ramp up to the wedding has been outrageous. Uh this

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: weekend Lakisha and it's all on the Graham and and

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: there was there was girls by the pool. There was

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: a poll involved. If you want to take a break

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: from following Matt Mark Patrick Brady on Instagram, you could

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: also follow Lakisha Jackson Lakisa Jackson zero and I would

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: say do not ever stop following Mark Patrick Brady. In fact,

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: if you're not following him on Instagram, please do it.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: We've noticed that like a hundred fifty of you plus

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: have now unfollowed him after following him. That's that's rude.

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Get back on. But West, your wedding now, it's it's

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: coming now, it's about a month and a half out.

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: Just it's next month. You're getting married and and your

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: wife to be has been very busy. Our bachelor party

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: with West, of course, is coming up in just about

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: three weeks. How are you feeling? Where's your emotions? A

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: little overwhere where's the pea scale right now? Peace scale,

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: I would say is about three. Okay, that's a good place.

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm totally confident about the wedding and who I'm

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: marrying and major life decision the most important. It's more

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: of like you just there's so much planning involved. And

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I had in my mind because I'm older, like I'm

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: nobody gets married for the first time at forty five.

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. So I had it in my mind

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: and everything would be casual, you know, I'm past that

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: like fairy tale stage of the wedding. Yeah, but are open.

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: Casual is not happened. Like, what you are slowly learning

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: is that you control nothing at all at this Yes,

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a cliche. You realize as the

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: wedding is coming together that you're just along for the ride.

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: Well it's I feel like so I know I don't

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: have any control, but I'm also expected to contribute a lot.

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: That's tough. Spot. Yeah, and uh, ricky Hollywood behind the glass?

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: Where is the westling Cam? Hashtag west Cam? We had

Speaker 1: those mirrors at this point so they don't have that

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be true because of Steven Spielberg. He

70
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: needed that for the movie Jurassic Park and he paid

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,440

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: And a lot of news to get to, including Mark

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: on that. Well, it's you know, you can never say

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: it's not a Indian barrel ground because it will always

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: be built upon an Indian barrel ground. But the Browns

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: facility in Barrea? Is that correct? My pronouncing correctly? But

80
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: that's could be you know, Jed and I could just

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,839

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: are happy days in Barria. Uh. And a big press

83
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: conference today, So we're gonna start right there. Let's do

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: some news. Ricky, I just started screaming, just like just

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: yelling like you would have thought I was on the

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: on the field on game day. I think the thing

87
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: we kept saying was this can't be real. Um, just

88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of boys having the time of their lives.

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: That was Baker and Mayfield reacting when asked, UH where

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: he was. What happened when he found out Baker Odell

91
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Was coming to the Cleveland Browns big pressor

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: uh in Cleveland. They had first Freddie Kitchens, Uh, the

93
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: head coach, spoke on his own wearing the Cleveland Cleveland

94
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Indians hat. And for all the aw shucks and Freddy Kitchens,

95
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: Freddy knows what he's doing to he's putting that cap on.

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: It's another reminder, Hey, I'm here to coach ball, talk ball,

97
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: and be one of you. Like he gets it. He

98
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: started the presser, you know, wishing them good luck on

99
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: their home opener, which is like a veteran coach move.

100
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: So Freddie does his thing and then they trot out

101
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: the four big stars of the Browns, Miles Garrett, who

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: did not have a lot to do or say in

103
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: this press conference, uh, Jarvis Landry, who was the BFF

104
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: of course of Odell Beckham, and then Baker Mayfield, and

105
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: they had about a twenty thirty minute pressor the introduction. Uh.

106
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Your initial takeaways, um Mark from the press conference, Well,

107
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I I appreciated that Baker Mayfield and the

108
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: rest sort of talked about it being a bit of

109
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: a surreal moment, because that's what I've been saying the

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: whole time, and even now. It just seemed weird because

111
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: the Browns, I think have probably led the league in

112
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: hopeful press conferences that have led to literally nothing but

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: utter disaster. And this occurred on April Fool's Day number one,

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: which I found a little um anti poetic, But uh,

115
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: I do think finally, I think they were sitting up

116
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: there looking at each other like, how has this come together?

117
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: How has this happened? And Baker Mayfield's quote, um totally

118
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: encapsulates that it's still it's still one. There was one

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: moment though, because I love Baker Mayfield had some edge

120
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: to him with the reporters to He's like, where there

121
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: was no one here last year, Now you're all here.

122
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, well you're I don't know what's going

123
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: on there. But he basically at one point when they're

124
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: starting to peg Odell Beckham with who are you the

125
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: person should we be concerned about? Odell Beckham the experience,

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield said, he's here today. He didn't have

127
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: to be. It's voluntary. He's part of this team. He

128
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: cares very much. So I think they're all glued together

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: because Odell and Baker were hanging out long before this happened,

130
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: and he's legit best friends with Landry, and people are

131
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: trying to cook up will these two get along? Well,

132
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: they're legit best I mean you can tell that they

133
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: are lifelong friends whose goals have been linked since high school.

134
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: So I think that the soup can work together. Um

135
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: it's it was a very strange sight. I I was

136
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: taken by you know, Jarvis Landry saying how he cried

137
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: when he found out Odell was coming, Odell Beckham saying

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: that joining Landry specifically is maybe the greatest blessing he's

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: ever had in his entire life, and that he and

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: Landry are close enough that he hated being apart from him,

141
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: that he didn't feel like he could be there for

142
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: him as a friend enough by face timing every day.

143
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: And they said they do that, and I was like,

144
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't talk to my brother and my

145
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: mom or anyone every day or anything. I mean, And

146
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: it just it does give you the idea of like

147
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: what it means to them to play together, and and

148
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: they're how excited they are to be with someone like

149
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Baker May. Let's listen to Odell Beckham, who did not

150
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: tamp down the expectations when talking about what this they

151
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: meant for the Cleveland Browns in the National Football League

152
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: as a whole. I think this moment is going to

153
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: be more iconic than we all realize right now. You know,

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: that's obviously that's what we want the goal to be,

155
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, to look back in ten years and be like, man,

156
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: I remember today, April on two thousand nineteen like the

157
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: start of something great, you know, and I'm just happy

158
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: to be a part of that. What if instead of

159
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: like when the Vikings first traded Randy Moss to the

160
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: Marcus tu Yasa Sopo, Andrew Walter Raiders. What if at

161
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: that same time they traded him in the private his

162
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: career to a Bengals team that just drafted Carson Palmer

163
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: and had Chad Johnson and Rudy Johnson and Chris Perry

164
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and Chris Henry. That's what this seems like to me.

165
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: In the prime of his career, they traded for the

166
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: most talented wide receiver in the NFL on a loaded offense.

167
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: That's why I can understand why he says this might

168
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: be more iconic than people realize. I think that's why

169
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: they put Myles Garrett up there too, to to sort

170
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: of signify like, hey, this is our new era. And

171
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Garrett fits even though he didn't get asked much on

172
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: this day, he is one of the faces and the

173
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: leaders and that the Browns are Now we've been we've

174
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: been saying they're becoming America's team, but really it is different.

175
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: And I know it's April first, and we got a

176
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: couple of hours to fill on up to the minute,

177
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: but like taking a Brown's press conference live on NFL

178
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: Network and like that's the big, you know, news of

179
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the day, It's that's totally did you guys gain more confidence?

180
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: In Freddie Kitchens in terms of handling all these stars.

181
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: I thought his press conference was as good as anything

182
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: that came from the players, because he hammerd home over

183
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and over. It's like, look at good he talked about

184
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: basically and he asked the PR guy, am I allowed

185
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: to talk about a player that I've coached before? And

186
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the prgus like yes, He's like, all right, I follow

187
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: the rules. But he talked about Larry Fitzgerald. The good

188
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: players don't mean titles at all. That they have to

189
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: basically make this work. And to me, that is the

190
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: major X factor that still hangs in the sky. That's

191
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: basically where I am right now. I'm um excited to

192
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: see how all this place together. It's it's fun to

193
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: have Beckham with a great young quarterback, to see where

194
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: it all goes. I'm now I'm at the top in

195
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 1: terms of like the gas tank is filled with the

196
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: hype and everything around this Teamredy, I'm already ready to

197
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: just I want to see these guys play. I want

198
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: to see how they react to adversity. I don't want

199
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: to see how Freddy Kitchens handles the personalities, but I

200
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: know that's not how it's gonna work. There's gonna be

201
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: months and months ahead, but it just it is. Today

202
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: was just another example of the level of optimism. That is,

203
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I haven't seen around UM many teams at all in

204
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the years that I've been working in NFL. Uh, So

205
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: it is a little bit surreal going back to well

206
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: and when we have it right, typically it doesn't. But

207
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: this is so interesting that it is the Browns that

208
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: is the team that is the recipient of all this

209
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: UM hype. So we'll see how it plays out. Let's

210
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: move on the Raiders. No hype around the Raiders in

211
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: terms of U a f C contender right now, but

212
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: they are busy. They're doing their due diligence, as they say.

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: They're holding a private workout with Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray

214
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: UH one day in Dallas, and the workout UM also

215
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: apparently went very well, according to rap Sheet Murray going

216
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: nuts uh and uh in terms of like his ability

217
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. I mean, guy is supposed to

218
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: be one of the great dual threat players and and

219
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: the Raiders are kicking the tires and seeing if that's

220
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: a guy they want to make a play for. Uh. Interestingly,

221
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: West the Raiders also sent out a tweet with Raiders

222
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: great Tim Brown pointing at Kyler Murray saying, just Heisman stuff.

223
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: They're both uh former Heisman Trophy winners. Uh do you

224
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: put anything into that with? Of course Derek Carr and

225
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: John Gruden and Mike Mayock and everyone is saying all

226
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: the right things about Derek Carr, he's our guy. But

227
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: then your Twitter account is sending out the kid phenom

228
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: quarterback photo from a workout for the team. Well, I

229
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: never know what to put in any of these visits.

230
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: That's why I don't track them very much, because they're

231
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: not very predictive of who will be drafted by that team.

232
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: It just says that they're interested. And John grew And

233
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: has said at the um combine Derek Carr is a

234
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback and our franchise quarterback, and then just at

235
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: the late meetings last week he said again, Derek Carr

236
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: is going to be our quarterback. I don't know how

237
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: similar is that to the Giant saying Eli is going

238
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: to be our quarterback. Odell Beckham. We didn't, we didn't

239
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: sign Odell Beckham to trade him. Jordan's going to be

240
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: on our team next year. From John Gruden in late

241
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: you know, week seventeen of December last Well, let me

242
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: what would we be doing if the Jets had brought

243
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: in Kyler Murray for a long workout and we're tweeting

244
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: out Kyler Murray tweets from their account its draft him.

245
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: If the Cardinals are already slated to well that's the issue.

246
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: But talked about a Derek Carr trade of the Raiders

247
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: and they move up. But they don't know, they don't know.

248
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: You don't know what the what the Cardinals are necessarily

249
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: gonna do. You I do put something into it. Okay,

250
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: this is their time and Greg Olsen their offensive coordinators

251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: down there, Gruden's scripts thirty minutes of of that quarterback workout.

252
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: They're going to dinner, Mike Mayock and on Gruden, Like,

253
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: I absolutely put something into that, because if you just

254
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: signed let's say, you know, a quarterback to a long

255
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: term contract, you're not doing that just you're not in

256
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: the top shelf quarterback game. They are saying that Derek

257
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Carr's our quarterback, but he's not one of those quarterbacks

258
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: that you would just not consider taking. Like, so their

259
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: their their eyes have to be open to drafting Kyler

260
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: Murray or Dwayne Haskins for that, or maybe they're preparing

261
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: for a year from now when the Cardinals are trading

262
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and getting their third quarterback in three it's

263
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: telling to me. Ian said, they're not going to the

264
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks workouts or anything, so they're not necessarily like

265
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: like in the second third round quarterback market. Maybe they

266
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: trade up for the Cardinals, which is maybe Cardinals want

267
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: all those draft picks the Raiders right exactly, but they

268
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: are looking hard at Haskins and Murray like the two

269
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: guys that they would think would have a chance to

270
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: be better than car So the Raiders are picking number

271
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: four in the first round at least right now. The

272
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: New York Giants are picking six, and a lot of

273
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: talk about the Giants they'll take a quarterback this year

274
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: they passed last year. Well maybe not. First of all,

275
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa visiting with the Giants

276
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, Per rap Sheet and a report out of

277
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: U s n Y Ralph Acciano, a source report told

278
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Vacciano that the Giants will likely select a pass rusher

279
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: with a six overall pick. The source told Vacciano, as

280
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: much as we need a young quarterback. Honestly, don't know

281
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: how we can pass on one of the pass rushers

282
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: at six. UM Dwayne Haskins is quarterback that's also potentially

283
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: out there in that area. But uh, the Alan Kid,

284
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: uh Williams Bosa. Those are three big time pass rushers

285
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: that apparently the Giants are hot on. I don't know

286
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: what to put into these, like the report that they

287
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: couldn't pass up a defensive end, but the idea that

288
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: they would like maybe wait to the second first round

289
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: pick they had seems kind of laughable because like, that's

290
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: just not how it works with orderback. If they're into

291
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Drew Lock for instance, that they've been kind of tied

292
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: to maybe Daniel Jones, like someone's going to trade out

293
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: earlier or or you you would take you know, you

294
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: would you would take them like you if you're into

295
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: a first round quarterback, you're into it. Maybe maybe they're not.

296
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: It's impossible to know right now. And it's one thing

297
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: if they were in position to get the number one

298
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: pass rusher, but it's possible with the way things fall

299
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: that they could get the third or fourth or fifth

300
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: best pass rusher. So it's like you're not even get

301
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: the best guy. I think it's starting to become so

302
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: I was very anti Giants, it's now becoming so incredibly

303
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: beautiful because they're digging so hard into this thing where

304
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: they're going to take everything with the Giants fan would

305
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: want and just say we are going to continue to

306
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: push and we might even say Eli Manny into at

307
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: this point that it's beautiful for like observers who don't

308
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: have a horse in the race. But if you're a

309
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Giants fan, oh, then you're setting your house. This is

310
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: what thinks about being a fan, that that people can

311
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: come into your organization, get caught up in their own

312
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: notions and wreak havoc on your team instead of trying

313
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: to build a winner. Well, and think about our Boyetti Spaghetti,

314
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: who was tweeting out about having to Odell Beckham mouse

315
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: pass like Odell Beckham shirts and hats. I mean that's

316
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: they're leading into it so much that I might almost like,

317
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: this might be what makes me start to root for

318
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: Eli Manning and the Giant. I agree, just have to

319
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: run that. I remember because he did it again. Gentleman

320
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: was on Good Morning Football last week and he he

321
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: used some metric like saying that Eli was one of

322
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: the top downfield pastors in the league last season. It's

323
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: mostly just a fire up like the three guys that

324
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: I do this podcast with at this point, doesn't join

325
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: every every step of it. It reminds me of when

326
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Less Snead and the Rams were going on their Case

327
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: Keenum thing about he had came in and had what

328
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: was it like some sort of metric where you don't

329
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: get it, but case Keenum is this incredible quarterback that

330
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: we can anchor our franchise on. And they trade up

331
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: and get Jared Golf right and I someone pointed out

332
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: in an article right at this time last year that

333
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: said how the Browns were deciding between Donald and Allen

334
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. That's like you, I think that's the

335
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Oh we got some breaking was we've got a trade

336
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: live on. The Browns have traded Emmanuel Ogba to the

337
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for safety Eric Murray. Manuel

338
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: Ogba Bye bye. Nice pick up by the Chiefs. A

339
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: guy that a guy that that that like PFF for instance,

340
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: always loves Agba because he's very much a hurry not

341
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks hits or sack guy, but he's good against the

342
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Rodney gets some pressure like he's he's a starting NFL

343
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: player and they need some of those on their day.

344
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: They were trying to move him. The Browns also cut

345
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Derrick Kindrick the safety today because he started to cost

346
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: too much for what he was because of some sort

347
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: of contract stipulation. But I thought they were going to

348
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: go out and get Eric Berry potentially, so they still

349
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: might do that. They might um Dorsey burning the phone

350
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: lines with his old with his old front office group here.

351
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: Eric Murray has played a lot too, So that's a

352
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: guy I think that they they would not trade oba.

353
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think unless it's for someone that they believe

354
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: is gonna get on the field for them, because I

355
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: I wished it like what was. Murray has played a

356
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of snaps for a horrible second. Right, I'm not

357
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: saying he's great. I'm saying they they probably see him

358
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: as having a role because I didn't understand that the

359
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: need to get rid of it's good to have the

360
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: defense end. Moving on, The Redskins organization was turned upside

361
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: down by the Alex Smith leg injury UH and even

362
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: more serious medical issue UM connected to one of their

363
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: best players, maybe their best player. Left tackle Trent Williams,

364
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: who had been dealing with what was known as a

365
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: medical scare, turned out according to Rapt it was a

366
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: growth or a tumor on his head that doctors feared

367
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: might be malignant, scary stuff. It was removed and there

368
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: was concerns at the time that he might miss the

369
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: season with the situation. While it turns out now everything

370
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: should be okay and um he'll be on the field.

371
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: So great news, but quite a scare there for Trent Williams.

372
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: That just speaking if somebody who's going through it, those

373
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: testing days can be some of the scariest days you have,

374
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: just because the uncertainty. You just don't know what it

375
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: will do to the rest of your life. Shane Lechler

376
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: has done uh. The All Pro punter retires after eighteen

377
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: season eighteen seasons. The news announced on Twitter by former

378
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: Texans teammate J. J. Watt, who tweeted out a photo

379
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: with Lechler who's holding a Bog's light and just chilling

380
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: out and what looks like a very J. J. Watt

381
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: type setting. It must be you know what now I'm

382
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: looking at the photo, it's J. J. Watt's big Man

383
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: cabin remember that from hard knock the giant man cabin

384
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: enjoyed that man cabin with the cornhole out back. Anyway,

385
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: So Lechler ends his career UH draft in the fifth

386
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: round of the two thousand NFL Draft by the Raiders.

387
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Remember Leckler and Janetkowski Sea Beast came into the league

388
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: together on the Raiders and then played together for a

389
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: decade and a half. He made seven Pro Bowls. Leckler

390
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: did named first team All Pro six times. He was

391
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame All

392
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: two thousand's team. His punt average went up each of

393
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the three decades or the twenties, thirties, and forties. UH.

394
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: He finally steps away though, And here's the thing. Pat McAfee,

395
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: former punter who used to study uh Leckler's tape UH

396
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: to learn how to punt in and the most efficient

397
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: manner possible, says, this guy's the first ballot Hall of Famer. Well,

398
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: not to get on Rich Eisen's corner that it was

399
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: a punters or people too? Is that the Eisen thing?

400
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Should there be more discussion about Shane Leckler. I mean

401
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: that's he's put together a career that few players in

402
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: his position have ever even approached. Well, I don't know

403
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: if he'll I doubt he'll be first ballot. That's just

404
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: to me, that's just the read. He'll definitely be considered

405
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: because he was the best at his position for what

406
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: a dozen years. I think Johnny Hecker overtook him, and

407
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: I think Johnny Hecker is the best best punter I've

408
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: ever seen, But Shane Lecker will will be seen as

409
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: the guy from that early two thousand. Also, the Raiders

410
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: went from Rey guy to Shane Lechard. They have two

411
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: of the best punters in history, and that's got to

412
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: be the best. Betty is the only punter in the

413
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Leckler was, So that's sort of that's

414
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders version of going from Brett farved Aaron Rodgers.

415
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: They did it as the punter position, like the worst

416
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: position possible. It's I think it's equal equally equally a

417
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: huge feat um. I mean, Lechler was in the tuck

418
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: rule game and when when you talk about McAfee, because

419
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: he had it in the in the Peter King piece

420
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: this morning where he came into the league as a

421
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: rugby kicker and coaches thought, yes, we can make you.

422
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: You got the skill set to become a kicker, but

423
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna take some time. And he basically just like

424
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: took Leckler videotape out of the library and studied it

425
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: over and over and over and nobody else and became

426
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. I mean, and he's he's smart. So Lechler

427
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: knows it's an uphill battle to get into Canton. Not

428
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of pop if he's retiring right

429
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: before free agency starts or the week of the draft.

430
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Yeah, you wait till April.

431
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: It's like the owners meetings over. Everyone's looking for some content.

432
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got We've got NFL network producers now

433
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: coming up to us in the hallway. Hey can you

434
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: pre tape? Can you being It's like it's like where

435
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: were you during the season? Now he didn't care then

436
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: how they got hours to fill? They're like, do five

437
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: minutes on Shane Leckler and his legacy whatever? Like Leckler,

438
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: he's savvy, Uh, smart guy. Moving on Sean McVeigh. You

439
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: know this guy, this guy knows how fun. It's not

440
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: just a genius and not just a young brainy genius. Uh,

441
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: he's also a guy likes to kick back and have

442
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: a little fun. How about this little prank on his

443
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: buddy and new Cardinals coach Cliff Kingsbury told a little

444
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: story spun of yarn West. So what they say on

445
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: the Adam Schefter's podcast? What is it called? That used

446
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: to be you know him from Adam podcast? And then

447
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: at some point he was like, yo, probably like the

448
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter, we gotta change his name. That's not gonna work.

449
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: So I think now it's just the Adam Schefter podcast. Anyway,

450
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: here is what mak Yeah, the what which one? That?

00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: him from Adam? I believe okay, got that figured out. Anyway.

453
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: Here it is uh McVeigh having some fun with his buddy,

454
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: Cliff from the Adam Schefter podcast. We have a mutual

455
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,239

Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, and uh, I had this friend send me

457

Speaker 1: a text saying, I can't believe you're at dinner with

458
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and Mahomes. You know better than this. This is tampering.

459
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: You're both losing picks. And I showed Cliff the text

460
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: and uh, the what he the he saw a ghost?

461
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: I said, he better called Steve come right away, he said,

462
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna lose the number one overall

463
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: pick and we couldn't let it go on too long.

464
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: But it was pretty good. We got him good. I

465
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: I still I was talking to him about that yesterday

466
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: when I saw him. But I'm pretty proud of that one,

467
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: Adam on April Fool's Day, you gotta chuckle, right, Mark,

468
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: I like it. I think the best pranks, the best

469
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: friends are the friends that you could that do amazing pranks.

470
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: And the best pranks should totally alter your mind state.

471
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: When you're the subject of it. You should be somewhere

472
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: and like, like suddenly Cliff Kingsbury is freaking out. A

473
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: second later, you should be somewhere very bizarre and dark

474
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: and wondering what's happening to me next? You got punked?

475
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: Like candy camera type stuff. Have an example. The best

476
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: prank that I was ever involved in was um I

477
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: went to Miami, Ohio for one year before that, don't

478
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: mind to the much to the annoyance of my parents,

479
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: like mull too many and like but nothing of not

480
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: many though? What's the number three plus three? But then

481
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: so yeah, the three plus is four? What is the well.

482
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: The fourth wasn't like a U c L A thing

483
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: after it wasn't part of the original thing, but the

484
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: one continuing education basically, yes, uh, like the when I

485
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: was at my Ohio, it was a one of the

486
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: weirdest years of my life. But there was one night

487
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: where we were all up at like two thirty in

488
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: the morning in this like dorm room. It's a bunch

489
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: of like hoodlum guys, and we're like, let's take this

490
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: one kid who fell asleep for this big test he had.

491
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Let's take into a town. And so we all at

492
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: two thirty in the morning, turn all the lights on

493
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: in every dorm room, opened every door, Guys walking up

494
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: and down, taking showers like in their towels, brushing teeth,

495
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: and like, dude, you wake up, your test is went,

496
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: your your test is soon. He's like, So he woke

497
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: up out of his bed, and his roommates like, I'm

498
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: so glad I got you in time. You're gonna you

499
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: have a half an hour to get there. So he

500
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: runs in the shower, takes a shower, brushes the teeth,

501
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: gets dressed, and we're all acting like in our we

502
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: have books and book bags and we're like flannel shirts

503
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: and coats and like, hey, good to see you have

504
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: a good day, and like we ushered him down to

505
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: the front door, and then we just watched as he

506
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: slowly in the middle of the night across the entire

507
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: quad and went beyond the quad far across campus to

508
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: this classroom and then ultimately told us, I think he

509
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: like knocked on the front door because it was locked,

510
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: and it's like it's three in the morning, dude, your

511
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: test isn't for like another five hours. He didn't figure

512
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: out because it messed his mind. Stated cannot figure out

513
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: when it was Ohio in the winter, so it's dark.

514
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: It's like he wanted to get an early start, so

515
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: he never figured it out at all. No cell phones.

516
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: It was was he like suspicious when you guys all

517
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: like stopped and then started singing like a show tune

518
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: and like dancing her. Well, that didn't happen until the

519
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: door slammed on him. But he basically like Truman showed him.

520
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: It was a highly orchestrated prank by many semi hammered people.

521
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Well done, well done, Um hey I got a red

522
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: flag to share with you guys. We all know what

523
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: happened two years ago with the Detroit Lions when they

524
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: weren't trying to win. Yeah, they made the decision, Oh,

525
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: we're not gonna rush to get to camp uh uh

526
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: for the opening of their off season program. And what happened. Yeah,

527
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: start at home watch the playoffs, right, okay, Well fast

528
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: forward to the president. Tim Caldway was like, hey, we

529
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: went nine and seven. That looks pretty good right about now?

530
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: Uh NFL one of their media dudes sent out a

531
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: tweet a look at the start date of the off

532
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: season program. I'll give him a name, Michael Signora. He

533
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: does good work for the company. I don't know him personally,

534
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: but he does good work. Look at the start date

535
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: of the off season program for all thirty two NFL teams,

536
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: and I have to tell you there's only one team

537
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: that's waiting all the way until April. And you may

538
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: be surprised. Maybe too busy doing a victory lapse over

539
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: the past interference rule change, which he was at the

540
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: center of as we know. But Sean Payton and the

541
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: Saints waiting all the way until to start their off

542
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: season program. Greg, I know this gets you very angry

543
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: when this comes up on the show, So defend it. Defend,

544
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: try to defend Sean Payton. We have teams reporting today.

545
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: The Browns got straight to work today, along with a

546
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: host of other teams. Three weeks from now, three weeks

547
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: from tomorrow, in fact, that's when the Saints. The Saints

548
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: lollygag their way into the building. You have a set

549
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: number of days that you can be in the building.

550
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: They will stay one week later than many of the

551
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: teams that show up the week earlier. You're you're making

552
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: an assumption. I bet they're out the door at the

553
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: same time. As I think how it works is those

554
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: other teams will take a week off at some point

555
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: that the Saints won't. They'll just go straight through. So

556
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: different approaches. I got no problem with it. Doesn't that

557
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: annoy your players to keep them deeper into the part

558
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: of the year when you'd be on vacation with your family.

559
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: I would look at it another way. They get an

560
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: extra week of vacation on the front end, and then

561
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: they still get out June thirteenth, like a lot of teams,

562
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: About half the league is getting out June thirteenth, half

563
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: is the week before June six, and so they're just

564
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: doing it all in a row, banging out in a row.

565
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: So that's what the PR sides up west. Just yeah,

566
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: look late July, early August, this is the time to

567
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: bunker down. That's football seas April. Who cares, live your life,

568
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: forget about football for a while. So other you saying

569
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: the Browns are making it, say because somebody kind of

570
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: think that. I kind of like, I kind of sorry, Dan,

571
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: but I like what the Saints are doing, Like don't

572
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: send me home for two weeks and then bring me back.

573
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: Let's get it all done in one thing, all right, Well,

574
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm alone on this island. And

575
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: you'll see, you'll see when the regular season standings are

576
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: complete January. So we were the only one that really

577
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: the only one looking at this list that bothers me.

578
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: Like the Cardinals, for instance, could have showed up this week.

579
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: They have a new coach, they're gonna go next weeks

580
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: that they go off, they through as well. The only

581
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: one that bothers me actually is the Broncos. Because there's

582
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: three teams that showed up today April one, the first

583
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: possible day. The Broncos are going tomorrow. So it's like

584
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: you're like your day, you're if you're gonna be in

585
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: that first week and not have much break, It's like,

586
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: what was Well, maybe you guys have a longer weekend, right,

587
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: they know Mondays, We know what we think about Mondays

588
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: on this show, so we're trying to give it. We're

589
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: giving out four day weekends, right. Yeah. Actually I think

590
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: it's actually part of They literally do have four day weeks.

591
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're in on fridaysoud by League rules

592
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: Denver four and twelve. If they're lucky, we're clearly struggling

593
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: for topics here. On April one, Andrew, No we're not.

594
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck got married on Nicole pa in a wedding

595
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: and and Prague. How about that? Pretty good? Check yourself

596
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: before you reckon. Absolutely apparently this woman uh is from

597
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: the Czech Republic, so Luck and this woman I can't

598
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: pronounce it. Her parents are Nicole Uh. Luck and Nicole

599
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: both twenty nine, met at Stanford and fell in love

600
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: and now they are married. And isn't that a great thing? Well,

601
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: love is important. You know that marriage is gonna have

602
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: a solid foundation, being as they are both very much

603
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: into architecture. Oh s you are, and you are in

604
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: July thirty one form right now, not April first form.

605
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: Nailed it. That's what's happening in the news. Nice couple,

606
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: they nailed it. Underrated it been there, my brother used

607
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: to underrated. Wow, it's probably really highly rated, properly remazing.

608
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: It's like the best place ever. Brother used to live there,

609
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: spent some time there. It's one of my goals to

610
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: get the prom and you can do it, Wes, but

611
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: do it before you have children. Andrew, Andrew Luck and

612
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: Nicole p both athletes, and um, we'll be interesting to

613
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: see the old progeny now that turns out break it down, Mark,

614
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: I think I think it's um. I mean if the

615
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: odds would be fine because even he comes from a

616
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback that if it's a child, it's a male child,

617
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: he will be successful at sports. And she's a fantastic gymnasts,

618
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: so it's tremendously gifted. I mean, you can't go round

619
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: here on the mats to mention. Stan As nailed it again. Greg,

620
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: also July thirty one form al. Right, here we go.

621
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: That's what's what's happening in the news. Uh, the changing

622
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: of the guard in the a f C. That's the

623
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: name of the segment. Uh, what's going on in the

624
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: league right now? What's going on in the American Football Conference?

625
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: And and the Patriots are the defending champions, and we

626
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: know the Patriots are going to be in the mix

627
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it. But there's Greg, even

628
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: as a pat say and there's no denying that losing

629
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: Gronk's gonna hurt and maybe, uh, you know, the team

630
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: could have done a little bit more at this point

631
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: in the off season so far, you're a little bit nervous. No, no, no,

632
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: not at all. You guys got on me for that

633
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: all last year. Well you're rooting against fo Yeah, they

634
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: would they win Ninth Street and a f C championships.

635
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's beyond time to to hand it over.

636
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: What don't we do this every March we say the

637
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: Patriots are fading is up for grabs And I'll take

638
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: the blame here on this one. But Grons not on

639
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: the team anymore. I mean, that's tangible. Their best defender,

640
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: according to Greg, Trey Flowers has gone. He's gone, Tom

641
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: Brady and you could get excited about the Lombardi Trophy

642
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: that's in the past. He was in decline last year

643
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: doesn't bug you greg that they I mean they tried

644
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: to get they went after a series of free agents

645
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: and lost out. But then they're gonna get Josh Rosen

646
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: probably too. So is that a good thing? Is that?

647
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, hang our hats on. Josh Rosen is the future.

648
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: You guys are looking for other teams, I've been looking backwards.

649
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna enjoy that and moving forward. They've had

650
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: enough than in the past. Asking for more seems ridiculous

651
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: and selfish. Frankly, like you're going to get it. Though.

652
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: If you look at which teams have been weakened the

653
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: most since the end of the year, I think the

654
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: Patriots are near the top of that list, and it

655
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: starts with a receiving corps that might be the worst

656
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. I will say this, they

657
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: have one of the biggest draft halls they've had in

658
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: a long time. And not that this has been the

659
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: greatest drafting team around, but if they can nail this draft,

660
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna it's a good tight end draft

661
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: that they can maneuver up and get one of those

662
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: past catching guys like I think they're gonna be. That's

663
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: an important part of the you know, they have a

664
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: little ways to go on their off season plan. I

665
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: think that's safe to say. I do think they'll dive

666
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: in on guys like a Michael Crabtree. I think they'll do.

667
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: I hope some trades like this Agma trade that the

668
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs just pulled off. There another a f C team

669
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: I think was taken a little bit of a step back.

670
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: So you got you still got a little time to

671
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: to fill out that roster. Well you have here the

672
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: division being the biggest one the acts and we're always

673
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: going to start with the pets in the a f

674
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: C for obvious reasons. But Pat's Ravens, Texans and Chiefs.

675
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: Can you make a case that any of those teams

676
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: got better? No, I think all of them got weaker. No.

677
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: I think you can make the case that they've they're

678
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: the teams have been hurt the most or all the

679
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: teams at the top. There's an exodus of talent on

680
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: all of those teams, and the Texans have gotten players

681
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: at every position they've lost. But I would suggest that

682
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: those players are worse than the guys who left. My

683
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: problem with this talking about this right now is that

684
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: we're talking about New England, Baltimore, you mentioned Kansas City,

685
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: throw in Pittsburgh based on the star power they lost.

686
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: These are the foremost consistent teams in the a f C.

687
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: Show it to me before we start selling them down

688
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: the river, because I'm not convinced all four of them

689
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: won't make the playoffs again. I think the chief well

690
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs you know we can't. We are waiting

691
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: for details. But the Tyreek Hill situation hangs over this team,

692
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: and so that's that's part of what their off season

693
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: I think, just when you look at it ovally like,

694
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: not only are they changing so much about their defense,

695
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: I think the AGBA would move is good. But you're

696
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: going from a bad defense. Is it gonna get better

697
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: just because it's Steve Spagnola? And then you have to

698
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: back up that year on offense without the same players.

699
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't have Warriors. The two teams that took the

700
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: other two playoff spots, the wild card spots, the Colts, Uh,

701
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: you can make a case they're better. They absolutely better.

702
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: They didn't lose anyone. Tell us why why you like

703
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: the Colts more now than you did in January? Well?

704
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: Number one, as I said, they didn't lose anyone. All

705
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: these other teams lost important players. The Colts resigned the

706
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: guys they wanted to resign, starting with Mark Lowinski, one

707
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: of their guards earlier in uh the off season, and

708
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: then Pierre de Sira and Clayton Gathers, Adam Vinitary, and

709
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: then you bring in Devin Funchius. When you look at

710
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: that game they got shut out in December against Jacksonville,

711
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: it was because Jacksonville's bigger, physical corners really put the

712
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: clamps on the Colts wide receivers who just weren't physically

713
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: big enough. Um So I think funscise really helps there.

714
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: And then on their defense, Justin Houston's gonna be one

715
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: of their best players. They needed a pass rusher and

716
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: edge rusher. So I think not only did they sign

717
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: the guys they need to, but they brought in to

718
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: two guys who could have an impact, Marcus Hunt too

719
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: and Dion Kane, one of the rookies last year who

720
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: was like the talk of the off season coming back

721
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: from um a c L surgery. And I think they

722
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: are a no panic like that organization. I just trust

723
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: right now because everyone was telling us go do something.

724
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: They still have massive cap room and they just stuck

725
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard stuck to his plan from A to C,

726
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: and they are another team with a with a massive

727
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: draft coming up. Luck is kind of like the Chris

728
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: Ballard of of dating, you could say, because it seems

729
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: like they's been with this uh girlfriend who didn't even

730
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: know about from you know, a better part of a decade.

731
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: Just played it safe. That done. There's only one other

732
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: team in the n f C that had twelve wins

733
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: besides the Chiefs. It was the Chargers, who tied for

734
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: the division but still lost out. Uh, they're another team.

735
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: They're kind of similar to me that they didn't They

736
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: haven't been killed by any exodus. They added Thomas Davis,

737
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: they upgraded sorry Greg backup quarterback with Tyrod Taylor over

738
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. Uh, they're a team that is still a

739
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: team you could imagine winning tend to twelve games again,

740
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: So I think they're in They're in a good position

741
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I feel like I'm giving them an

742
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: incomplete They lose Tyrelle Williams and I don't know who

743
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: they replace him with. They did have some depth there

744
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: and Travis Travis Benjamin hasn't really played by the last

745
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: couple of years, so I'm not even sure if he'll

746
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: be on the team or not. But I think that

747
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps to me is a question, right, I mean,

748
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: the changing of the guard. It It's an interesting thing

749
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: because you think of Pittsburgh as part of that, they

750
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: weren't in the playoffs. Technically. The only two teams that

751
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: have made the playoffs last two years make crazy are

752
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: just the Chiefs in the in the Patriots though, that

753
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: is kind of that the top level, and then you

754
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: think of the Ravens and the Steelers next. But I'm

755
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: with you, I don't see like when you think of

756
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: Cleveland as a potential super Bowl team, for instance, it's

757
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: not that they're like likely to do that. It's just

758
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: looking at the top six, seven, eight a f C teams,

759
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Is it that crazy to imagine any one of those

760
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: teams in the super Bowl next year? I don't think so,

761
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: at least in the final eight when a playoff game,

762
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: and I think they're absolutely in that mix. And it

763
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising if any one of those teams, the Patriots,

764
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: Texans or any take a big step. Remember that um

765
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: that series laughed at by many as it as it

766
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 1: should have been the every team will make the playoffs

767
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: that I had to work on last year and when

768
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: I wrote the coming back it, maybe I will not

769
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: be part of it. But like when when I did

770
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: the Cults one, I don't care. I can't think of

771
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: a team where more people came at me and just

772
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: said whatever, bro, and like, I'm not even when I

773
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: wrote I'm like, I have to create a reason why

774
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: I believe this. You didn't predict it, you were just

775
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: predicted at all. But then the fact that like it's

776
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: just that what some of these teams that are in

777
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: the middle of all this that we chuckle at, we

778
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: have no idea what you know you could do? You

779
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: take the link of that story right now, even now

780
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: it's not too late. You put it on a tweet

781
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: and then uh and then you do the quote reteet

782
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: thing or with the link just but like eat it.

783
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: I think that would like said. And then it's like, hey,

784
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: all my doubters, everyone that said I couldn't do it,

785
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: I did it. This team made it. I mean I

786
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: should probably in succession go through each of the teams

787
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: that made the playoffs that I authored the article for.

788
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: Adam Rank did the same thing other side and just

789
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: drop fire and people and outright we know the CMS,

790
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: which is our content management system. How to access it? Here?

791
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: You could just scrub all the teams that didn't make

792
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: it app rid of the non twelve teams. Those u

793
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: r l s will be dead u rls. That's how

794
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: you plan in the off seat. Maybe we should take

795
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: this offline, this conversation. Why are we telling everyone this

796
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: plan less effective if we do it on the show? Anyway? Great,

797
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: go ahead. What you were saying something when I was

798
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: about to had a digg in with Mark on that

799
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: that was important? How can we um? Can we talk

800
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: about the Ravens per minute? Little Ravens nest plea. So

801
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: I like what they've done with Earl Thomas and mark

802
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: ingram Um And yeah, I still feel like they're a

803
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: worst team. They lost so much on defense. Um they

804
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: lost their two best wide receivers. He end I this.

805
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's controversial to suggest that defensive coordinators

806
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: will probably cover Lamar Jackson a little bit better than

807
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: they did in his first year in the league. Now,

808
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: I think they're of all the teams that like want

809
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: a division and probably you would feel good about I

810
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: think they have the most questions because it's the biggest

811
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: overhaul that they've had defensively ever in this entire like

812
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: that they did it the year after they won the

813
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I believe in two thousand one. They kept

814
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: their guys for like one more year than they were.

815
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: They have more to overcome defensively than they've ever had.

816
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: And then you're just looking at Lamar Jackson and and

817
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: that team trying to throw the ball like that. That

818
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 1: would be the one team of all of these teams

819
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: in terms of changing the guard that I would bet

820
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: against if you had to pick one, like making it.

821
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: That's not to say that they're in a bad situation

822
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: organization wise. It's just maybe they take a step back

823
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: for a year before the young guys get a little

824
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: bit better and established themselves, especially that front seven on defense,

825
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: or that the Cories as good as it was, or

826
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: that they couldn't overcome it. But they just have the

827
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: most obstacles because they have the Steelers and the Bengals

828
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: and the brown I don't think the Bengals are necessarily

829
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: like out of the mix here. That's the thing. You

830
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: look around the NFL, how many teams would you be

831
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: shocked if they made the playoffs. For me, it would

832
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: be a list of five or less. And in the

833
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: in the a f C, you know, even the Jets

834
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: with the Jets be a shock. No, I think the

835
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: Raiders would be. Yeah. Peter King whispered about the Jets

836
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: as a potential team to play the Patriots in the

837
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: first Sunday night football game. I saw that. I mean

838
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: what he wasn't pitching? That is heard. But but you

839
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: know the it's funny my two takes on the AFC

840
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: when you look at the divisions is and this came

841
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: up in a mail bag a couple of weeks ago,

842
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: my mail bag femail bag. Uh. The Houston Texans who

843
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: won the an FC South last year. The Jaguars finished

844
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: last eleven and five, five and eleven. Uh. If there

845
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: was one division to pick where the first and last

846
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: place teams could flip flop, to me, the a f

847
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: C South over all the divisions, not just the a

848
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: f C is the most likely division where that could

849
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: happen because that is such a competitive division. I think

850
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: all of those teams you can make a case for

851
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: ten or eleven wins. Uh. So I think that's gonna

852
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: be a dog fight right to the end. The other

853
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: I do think this is overly optimistic. I know it

854
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: always is, but I try to be realistic with the

855
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: Jets in terms of what I think they'll do. I

856
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: think I just have a feeling, I have a bit

857
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: of a sessler that this is gonna be the first

858
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: year in a long time the af C East is

859
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: competitive in December. Uh that because I do think the

860
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: Patriots they kind of hit there. They got to eleven

861
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: wins last year, and they were lucky to get to eleven.

862
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: In some ways, I think they can be a team

863
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: that even drops down a little bit more further, I'm

864
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,959
Speaker 1: not saying nine or eight, but a ten eleven win team,

865
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: and then you open it up to an improve Bills

866
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: and improved Jets team. If you can get in that neighborhood.

867
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: I think that division is gonna be competitive too. I

868
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: think the mean it better be by now. Tom Brady's

869
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: forty two, like wake up these other teams like like well,

870
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: he hasn't really showed his age though forever. You know,

871
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm just so happening now and he's gonna be taking

872
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: the O T A S off again a little bit.

873
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: They've earned it. It's my new like they have earned

874
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 1: the blow up season. I think Brady should get fat.

875
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: I think Belichick should take it fat. It doesn't really

876
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: seem like take fat, take it less. Seriously, let's have

877
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: some internal squabbling. Let's not even don't even try that hard.

878
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: Just what is going on. It's just blowing up. And

879
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: they wasn't last over. Now you're rooting for embarrassment. No,

880
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not rooting for that. I'm if if they did that,

881
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: I would say the Patriot fans should just back off

882
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: and be like, you know what, they've earned it. That's

883
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: not what's gonna seems like petive is not how it's

884
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna play. Maybe you will, and I'm not even convinced

885
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: you would be that way, but you can. You can

886
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: damn well. You'll know that the Patriots ends are gonna

887
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: be furious if this team is eight and six in December,

888
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna expect what they've come to expect for

889
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: two decades. You're right, I mean watching the coverage this

890
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: offseason and some of the panic, and it is a

891
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: good it's a good lesson, and that it will like

892
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: whatever you're looking for out of your sports teams to

893
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: fill you up in terms of happiness and contentment, and

894
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: like like it will never be enough. The Patriots are

895
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: are kind of proof of that right now, like it

896
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: will never fill up your happiness, it will never it'll

897
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: never be enough. Where you're just like, that's good because

898
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: because if you're already there, right I feel like I'm there,

899
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: and maybe there's a few fans, maybe there's some out there,

900
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: but I think I think the reaction is kind of obvious,

901
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: that it's always just looking to the next one. It's

902
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: the it's the old Parcels thing again. And that's as

903
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan, I had that in the nineties. When

904
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: you get to that certain level, and it's the same

905
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: reason why Parcel said he quit. He said it gets

906
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: to a point where the winning doesn't feel as good

907
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: as the losing feels bad. And as a fan, that

908
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: is a tricky spot to get to because it's you

909
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: have such an amazing ride, but it does it does

910
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: take a toll in terms of the enjoyment you get

911
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: out of it versus how much annoyance and anger just

912
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: because you get spoiled. It's natural. Jo, I'd say, is

913
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: walking around um the stadium before the Super Bowl this

914
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: Rams Patriots super Bowl. That did not seem like a

915
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: world weary Patriots and they were having the absolute time

916
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: of their lives. They didn't seem more like the walk

917
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: up to that right That's like that to me was

918
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: an eye opener that there was not a tired It's like, oh,

919
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: you know what, Patriots fans are tired, They're not gonna

920
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: go to the Super It was New England crowd. That's

921
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 1: part of their family budget at this point. That's true.

922
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: And so that that was not great and I'll never

923
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: forgive the Rams for that. I gotta be honest with

924
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: you for letting the Patriots fans invade that stadium and

925
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: turn into a party. I mean, Ricky, I was happy

926
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: for you because, uh, the year before that, I saw

927
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 1: you sobbing in the concourse. So you had that moment.

928
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: Not only did you get to see a Patriots win

929
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: in person, it was basically a Patriots home game, yeah,

930
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: which felt completely different than the year before. I remember,

931
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't a completely Eagles fans totally. And how many

932
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: fan bases would have ever let that happen. I guess

933
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,959
Speaker 1: is when I say that I'm annoyed with the Rams

934
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: for letting that happen. Can we at least that the

935
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: team was taken away from St. Louis and most people

936
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: in St. Louis do not even follow that team anymore

937
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: because they're very upset about its okay, but to think

938
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: of Lakisha would have killed you if you didn't bring it.

939
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: But the argument was to these guys, point was that

940
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: that New England's fan base wouldn't show up because they

941
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: were tired. That it would be at a small RAMS crowd,

942
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: a somewhat big Patriots crowd and a bunch of executive

943
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: suits and their wives. Well, no it was and their husbands.

944
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: It was like it was nine six raging hammered awesome pa.

945
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: I actually gave them. I was like this, just think

946
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: into it and enjoy it. It was. It was an

947
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: amazing Maybe that's why I mean it was an amazing

948
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: feeling there partly because last season part of the topic

949
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: even entering the playoffs was changing to the guard. Is

950
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks and you're thinking, that's the chance that

951
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: you have to like have a changing into the guard.

952
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: Luck's been around for a while, but now he's back

953
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: in like in full form, and now you have Baker

954
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield now you have uh lamar accident and like and

955
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: mostly Patrick mahomes it should be his conference. Um alright, good,

956
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: good conversation, Ricky. How's your dog? What's going on? He's good.

957
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: He just needed some antibiotics. He's having an allergic reaction,

958
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: the little guy. But he's okay. What did he react to?

959
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: He's like allergic to something outside which you can't pinpoint air.

960
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: I don't even know he uh yeah, just you know

961
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: most sports maybe yeah, costing me money at the vest.

962
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: It's been an unusual spring for allergies, yeah, in LA

963
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: because it rains so much for four months. But dog's

964
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: got it too. You don't think it. Organism is the

965
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: same way that we are. We'll dive into that next.

966
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: Than the l a allergy podcast that with this, but

967
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: allergy people are suffering this much more. Well, no, I

968
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: want like the weirdest allergy ever got. I was living

969
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: in this farmhouse and Boulder, which I mentioned before, But

970
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: at one point there there was across the street a

971
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: massive cornfield like going on for as far as I

972
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: could see. And corn goes through some process in early fall.

973
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: Well I don't know what it is where it emits

974
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: some sort of terrible thing that if you're allergic to corn,

975
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: which apparently and that I was like, you just break

976
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: out and rashes from head to toe. And I was

977
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: working at a Jomba juice and I had to quit

978
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: because they would not let me work at a juice

979
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: place with rashes all over my body. Good move by
