WEBVTT - AFC Projected Starters 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:05.200 Be Around the NFL Podcast isn't sure if it will 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:09.119 be attending O t s this year. Welcome back to 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.360 another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:15.200 is Dan Handers and I'm joined by room filled with heroes, 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:22.000 Mark Sessler, Connor or Man, and Greg Rosenthal. What's up? Boys? 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.240 Nobody knows what to say. I know I didn't want to. 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.640 You can't step on that iconic, That's true, So what's up? Connor? 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.800 Welcome to l A. You got in just today and 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.760 you're gonna sit in the studio for two shows. Are 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.120 very excited about that. And yeah, you are sitting in 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.680 the chair of Chris Wessling, who, of course, Uh, if 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.280 you heard Thursday show or perhaps if you're plugged in 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:48.120 on social media, Uh, Chris made his big announcement about 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.199 his health issue. Uh, and he is, uh, you know, 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.720 Tybee Island still uh enjoying himself with the paramore and 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.640 maybe we'll try to track him down a little bit later. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.520 But we want to a real, a real heavy thank 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.520 you to the entire audience. Everyone that reached out to 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.160 West on social media, reached out to us on behalf 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.720 of the people that were blocked that reached out uh 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.800 to us saying even though we're blocked by West, we 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.200 want to send him well wishes. And of course the subreddit, uh, 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.240 which we just we love. Uh, the around the NFL 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:24.360 subreddit where there was a go fund me started to 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.840 cover West's bar tab and so much was put towards 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.160 that go fund me. A it made Sydney jealous. I'm 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.680 just gonna be honest with you. Um, you would you 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.319 would think that she would, that she would feel good 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.560 for all the support West got in you know, a 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.080 tough time. But now it's kind of like she was like, Hey, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.000 that's more money than my money. She is a she 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.400 is a washing raging materialism at this point in her life, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.080 and there's no reversal like a character assassination. I don't 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.120 know about it. A little on your corner though, at 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.120 least acknowledge that, like West, a little bit on your 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.200 corner with the sure maybe he can be new money now. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.440 But no, that you guys so so nice uh to 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.559 West that they had to shut down the go fund 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.560 me at a certain point, but obviously, um, a really 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.960 nice gesture from everybody. Yeah, I don't want to speak 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.480 for West, and maybe we'll get a hold of West 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.720 later on in the show. A long time listeners will 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.760 remember we've called hucka booze before. He's been there. Sometimes 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.679 sometimes he is not. But it just as obviously we're 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.640 a family here with the podcast, and it's Uh, I 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.640 don't know. I was checking on it. I couldn't, you 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.360 can't couldn't help check on it throughout the weekend. And 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.799 it really is awesome to think about all the listeners 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.160 and all the support he's getting. And I'm sure he 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.120 really appreciates and we all do as a group because 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.079 we are because we are a group, and and it's 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.840 cool to see at a time like and just to 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.160 be clear, I don't know about you. I received upwards 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.040 of a thousand tweets from blocked people, from people that 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.359 he has blocked, But he has a lot. He has 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.720 a lot, many many, many, many tweets, and almost all 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.040 of them positive. So and not to make the internet 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.760 that's a big deal. That is the almost universally positive. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.919 You have to mention a little update before we move 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.440 on to a big show. I mean West not only 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.560 Uh drops that drops the news on the show. Later 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.160 that night, we have our softball game and he hits 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:20.240 for the cycle kind of a legendary, legendary big another 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.639 another big win for the Shield and west Um had 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.000 a big day out of the leadoff hole. And uh, 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.799 you know, we don't know when we're gonna have west 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.200 back here. We don't when he'll be back with the 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.280 softball team, but obviously he's uh, you know, on our 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.120 minds as we move forward. And now Connor uh cuts 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.960 in almost a suspiciously the way, very modest by the skip. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.120 The Skip has been mashing this year like it's jose 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:49.160 Canseco's that's that's Dan And it's the first game that 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.600 I that I watched this season. It is essentially the 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.600 the opponent that rolled in there. You just you tatt 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.960 you tattered them up. They were they were left in bits. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.760 And Greg is not Greg should also Knowledgy and not 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.560 that he should about himself, but he was showed incredible 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.280 speed and he's kind of like a Julian Edelin character 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.040 out there. He's he does a little bit of everything. 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.920 We told Greg uh or I told Greg because he 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.360 needed to get some cleats, because he was debating whether 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.200 he was gonna wear sneakers to play third base, which 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.359 felt like a terrible idea. He went to the local 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.320 sporting goods story. What does he show up with gleaming 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.920 white cleats A huge like Joe Namath esque statement, Connor, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.240 and then he backed it up with a very very 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.599 strong game on both sides of the ball. He reminds 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.960 me of sort of a like that b J Surhoff, 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.640 sort of versatile guy. You know, So I think this. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.120 I think it all fits. You're a little b J 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.520 like that. So yes, Connor now slides into West's chair 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.520 for the time being. The next two shows were excited, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.680 uh to have you a board cutter and get and 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.359 get that mine thinking, I though it's always cranking, we 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.760 might have to do alive or you kidding me? On Wednesday? 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.640 I love it. I mean the last one got such 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.040 good feedback. Uh, our boy was just ripping on the guitar. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.640 That was I'll have to reach you have to reach 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.920 out to Congo too and see if we can get this. 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.880 I could feel that in New Jersey. You know, it 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.680 would be a contingent on you being annoyed by something 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.520 new since that last that's that won't be hard. Um, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:18.040 today's show is a breakdown of all things NFL related, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.480 and so would say, hey, it's you know, May fift. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.080 What possibly could there be to talk about? And the the 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.800 answer is not a lot. So we'll see you. Thank 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.839 you for listening. Coming now today we're going to talk 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.000 about Greg has been cranking away while everyone else is 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.120 just kicking their feet up. Greg has been wailing away, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.000 really pounding on this projected series of projected starter series. 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.440 Division has really hammering like a jack rabbit on this 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.000 uh projected starter series. You went all the way through 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.159 the a f C. You're moving your way through the 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.240 NFC now, so you've studied these teams closely, Greg, So 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.560 this felt like a good time. Some things that have 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.599 jumped out to you that maybe you weren't aware of 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.240 before this exercise begins. Some takeaways, see what you guys think, 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.360 big fancy takeaways. Even oh I like that? And uh yeah, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.440 And we will also try to track down West if possible, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.040 and then we'll do some news and to do that, 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.480 we'll go behind the glass. The first lady to run 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.080 the NFL podcast probably not actually jealous, probably legitimately happy 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.200 for West to get that support. Like the rest of us. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.000 I'm just gonna go out on a limb. Yeah, I 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.320 actually got a little emotional reading through the reddit this weekend, 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.680 because it's it's amazing, honestly, Like, who has better listeners 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.920 than us? No one, that's true? True, who's got it 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.960 better than us? Remember that that was a thing? Nobody? Wow, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.480 we're speaking of the subreddit. We are a hundred and 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:53.000 nineteen subscribers away from five thousand. Wow, let's do it? 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.240 Do we have any music to build this up the 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.440 five at Once they hit the five thousand mark, that 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.160 is when and we will at ram to pick someone 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.679 on that subreddit and something amazing will happen to their life. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.120 We haven't figured it out yet or even talked about 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.040 it privately. We'll start to go fund me for them 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.720 and they will suddenly be individually wealthy, extremely wealthy. I 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.880 let's do some news. There's no such things as curses. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:26.560 It's a total myth. Okay, it's Tom Brady continuing his 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:32.480 on slaught of culture after being um name the Madden 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.400 cover boy. And maybe Tom just take a break, go 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.360 spend some time with your kids and stop shooting viral 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.960 videos because you've got a big season coming up. I'm 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.239 not going to tell you how to be a father 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.760 or how to be a husband, but let's just break 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.240 it down a little bit before training camp. That's all 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.920 I mean. If any sounds like you are telling us that, yeah, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.880 he would consider you a close ally, so he would 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:06.040 be listening. Uh, let's start with the Buffalo Bills, where 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.680 Tyrod Taylor. After what seemed it seemed like it was 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.280 curtains for Tyrod and Buffalo, he ended up coming back 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.960 to the team. The rest of the regime changed. And 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.160 that doesn't guarantee though, that Tyrod Taylor will be the 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.560 Bill starting quarterback because new GM Brandon Bean. What does 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.160 that rank? By the way, Connor and your general manager 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.840 name power rankings, it just feels made up. It's like 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.559 your generic executive and Madden like if you don't pick 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.080 a name, it's just assigned to you and the bean 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.600 counter man. Anyway, he told w g R Radio five 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.520 fifty on Monday that there will be a open competition 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.360 at every position, including quarterback. If we walk out through today, 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.520 I would say Tyrod's probably started. But we haven't even 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.120 gone through. O t A. S Um. You know, we 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:55.880 got the young guy Peterman. I thought he did some 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.960 nice things this weekend at the mini camp. Um. You 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.679 know have card L Jones has a you know, a 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.960 huge arm and challenge. I don't know anything about him personally. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.440 T J Yates, you know, has done some starting his career. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.800 So there are some guys on this roster. I guess 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.120 Greg he's being honest there, Yeah, he is being honest. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.840 There are some guys on this roster. I don't know 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.920 anything about card L Jones personally. Maybe it's time to 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.280 find out he's your backup quarterback, Brandon bean I, I 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.160 don't like this disrespect for Tyrod Taylor. I mean, give 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.640 me a break. I understand open competition and all that, 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.920 but there are different rules when it comes to quarterbacks. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.000 And he's been paid fifteen million dollars a year and 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.000 there's no one else on the roster, so it just 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.040 seems like a continuation of the genuine general disrespect for 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.839 Tyrod Taylor. It seems unnecessary, and there really isn't a 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.920 number two guy in there that you think is going 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.240 to come in in the next couple of months and 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.600 steal snaps away from Tyrod Taylor. What makes you wonder 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.880 a little bit? Connor, what does it hurt just to 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.360 say Tyrod's our guy? He's He's done it with this team. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.440 And we're happy to have him and he's our guy 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.280 this season. Why can't why does everything have to be 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.480 an open competition? Well, I feel it when you become 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.600 a GM, you have to decide whether you're gonna be 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.680 the he's our guy guy or we're gonna compete guy. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.200 And you can't. You can't pick one of those, like 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.240 John's competition competition and that's because they didn't have a quarterback, right, 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.520 But you just have to go down that road. You know, 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.480 in his opening press conference it was turned the bottom 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.880 of the roster competition. So from now on, you have 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.680 to be the competition guy at every position. I guess 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.760 I would like to follow up if I'm there, it's like, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000 is Lashawn McCoy competing then with Jonathan Williams, So that's 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.199 open between those two and let's see what see. Well, 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.079 that's you know, that's what the corner of this guy's 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.200 backed himself into. So, yes, you gotta imagine the Tyrod 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.079 Taylor if he's seen these comments, he had to heard 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.160 the comments, just a massive like teena f a thirty 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.880 rock eye roll for the ages because like, am I 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.360 going to go through this again? Like this is my life? Now? 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.160 This is what every regime comes in and doubts me, 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.640 and I'm in Western New York, how did this happens? 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.920 A bit much? He's also made like a Pro Bowl 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.559 and he's been like a moderately productive starter. If if 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.440 nothing else, it does it's a reminder that this is 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.640 very much a one year deal and they are going 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.840 into this not feeling like they're committed to him after 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.640 this year. Moving on, Eddie Lacy is the running a 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.880 running back for the Seattle Seahawks. He signed that incentive 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.840 late in contract with the Seahawks after a few free 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.240 agent visits back in March, and today was a deadline 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:27.360 or what today was his first way in for what 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.839 is called a weight clause incentive. He had to hit 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.680 the scales at two fifty five pounds or less to 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.880 make fifty five k, which is, you know, nothing to 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.640 sneeze at. And uh, Eddie got her done to fifty 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.280 three he came in, so he makes fifty five dollars. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.120 And in case you forgot, uh Bob again of the 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.959 Milwaukee Journal Center, I believe we recently retired Bob. He 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:56.000 did distinguished career. Uh. He reported back in March at 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.640 Lacey Wade in a two sixty seven for one of 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.320 his free agent team visit. It's so if he was 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.520 around that, he's lost about a dozen pounds to make 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.920 this weight. And by the way, the Packers listed Lacy 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.160 at two thirty four pounds last season, which come on, 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:15.600 come on, it's a bit much. Isn't anything working with 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:21.240 um your girl Autumn CALABRISI both Mark and Connor big fans. Yeah, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:25.120 I mean if you think west cousins, this guy right here, 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.160 we both do the beach body and it does work, right, Yeah, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.480 isn't that What isn't that what any Lacey is doing 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.640 or something similar? It is? It is that exactly, And 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.080 his agent sent it out very proud of you know, 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.040 his client, that that they got the weight, and I 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.360 was kind of thinking about on the line, that's pretty cut. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.800 It pretty close. Also the couple of pounds there is 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.640 weight the best like indicator here, Like wouldn't you want 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.000 to do like body fat? Like you can starve yourself 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.600 and hit a weight goal, but then you're not going 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.240 to be a very effective running back. Something tells me, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.400 ye Lacey had a terrible weekend. Just yeah, I think 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.720 I issued him is like I think in the off season. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.200 You can do one of these programs and absolutely lose 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.240 that weight. It seems the minute he gets dumped into 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.320 the team complex, the week to week procedures, the way 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.480 that that thing operates, that's where he fell off the 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.440 rails last year. Well this got me thinking, actually, this 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.520 is a true story, this is not a bit. I 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.280 went to uh, the Santa Monica Public Library and farmers 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.480 Market thing they got going on on Saturday and Autumn Calabrisa. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.760 Your girl had a public event there that day where 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.959 she was going to do a public workout with you. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.440 Did not text me I I. I took a picture 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.880 of it, but it was canceled. So maybe she was 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.280 called over to Lacey to do some last minute I 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.679 don't know. I just said cancer is not There was 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.480 a sign up with her with her very fetching picture, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.920 but then right across it it said canceled. I took. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.960 I took a picture of it. Well, Connor's in town 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.680 for a couple of days. But it's like the Beach 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.760 Body headquarters about five minutes from this building. So let's 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.640 let's get over the Body. We'll storm it. Greg. You 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.280 need to be letting us know when that kind of 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.120 thing has happened. Next way, that's a bad job, Greg. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.720 That's like the big list Autumn col brass fan here 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.880 and you're not even dropping well. Part of it was 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.920 like one of my friends I think is maybe kind 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.720 of vaguely into this. It's like a picture. I just 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.360 forgot to send it over. I appreciate that I got 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.640 a little kids running all around. That's a little bit. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.960 Put it this way. Let's say you saw all right, 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.680 let's say I saw Ellis Burks at the grove you're 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.760 in l A and the Ellis Brooks, the former Red 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.760 Sox off fielder that you idolize. I named my daughter after, yes, 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.360 And we were online together Barnes and Noble, and he 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.120 was a really nice guy, said hey, you're Alice Brooks, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.600 right uh. And then we had like a nice civil 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.280 conversation and I didn't like take a selfie or a 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.280 shoot you attacks. And it came up like a week 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.000 later in the middle of a podcast. When when did 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:58.560 you be like kind of like dude, like why didn't 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.520 you like she wasn't there. It was canceled. That's that's 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.440 the It's a different level of what could have been 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.840 happening there, right, And he wasn't there. And meanwhile I 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.160 got my son running through the strawberry stands and like 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.760 the tangerines one way, and my daughter's going off to 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.920 the library. You know, a lot of action. I had 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.920 the worst Mother's Day yesterday. I don't know about this 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.160 Mother's Day holiday. I gotta be I love my mom, 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.880 but if my kids are always gonna be right there, 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:30.680 I don't know about this mother ok Okay, okay, Uh, 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.080 if my children are gonna behave that way on Mother's Day, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.680 let's just let's just wipe the whole thing. Because no 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:42.360 one was happy, and including the lovely Emily. We try 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.400 to go out to a nice breakfast and uh, my 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.800 six year old is the is satan? Yeah? Six months old? 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.440 What did I say? It feels like six years and uh, 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.200 sweet Jack two and a half years old. He's starting 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.760 to think take bad habits from his little brother, which 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.240 is not how it's supposed to work. They're young. Once 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.480 they're old enough to understand what the day is, you'll 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.880 you'll like it better. Come back to us. We hear that, Dan, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.800 I mean I in our house, Mother's Day simply means 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.600 and and I would in Father's Day in reverse I'm 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.000 the father of these children all year long. She's the 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.840 mother of these children all year long. You don't need 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.480 more of them on that day because they're generally, you know, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.720 they're needy, excessively needy. You just locked the you you 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.680 take you say to the wife, go in the room, 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.800 sleep late. I'm going to take the kids out of 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.040 your hair. Not let's go try to engage and have 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.600 a civil child. I drive my wife off at the mall. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.280 Mother's Day, press the be an adult, be a woman. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.400 You know what, we're relatively new or newer than than 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.640 you are. Both of you guys, you have older kids 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.560 than I do. So we thought that stupidly thought that 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.400 Mother's Day would be a nice time to spend time 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.840 together as a unit, whereas in the reality was it 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.760 is the recipe for an outright disaster of a morning. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.320 It's apocalyptic and then it just starts rolling. You ready 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.840 for kids yet I'm never having kids ever. I do 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.720 love my children, though, I want to make sure that's 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.879 that's well. That is very evident to the listeners of 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.120 the show today, they tested my patience. Harrison's first come 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.720 back to us of his life, hopefully the last you 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.639 imagine him listening to this, like when it's gonna be 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.200 like a you know, I would definitely play this for him, 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.240 just let him know what he was like. Anyway, Kansas 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:24.399 City Chiefs first round pick Patrick Mahomes tough situation. Uh. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.560 He was robbed along with three others on Friday night 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.520 in Tyler, Texas. UH. The Smith County Sheriff's office confirmed 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.920 NFL media UH. Mahomes and three friends termed home after 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.560 attending a baseball games. They pulled up in the driveway 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.160 another car blocked him in geez a robber. When Patrick 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.760 wrote robber, we still using robber in the lux icon 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:52.760 of society. Crook Burglar's stastardly duo, I'm gonna read it 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.199 like old time, you know all rob I got out 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.040 of his vehicle saying I proshed my homes on the 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:03.720 other those this is very serious called the kappas Hey scram. Anyway, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.679 the the robber got out of the vehicle and acted 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.399 as if he had a gun in his waistband and 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.920 and the robber then demanded the victims goods. They complied 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.320 and the good news. The good news is that Patrick 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:22.480 Mahomes and his boys are okay, but that that sounds unpleasant. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.920 Who's robbing like a six four? Like all all these 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.520 athletes that are getting held up, Who's deciding that that's 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.560 the guy I'm gonna follow, Especially that we don't have 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.120 proof that the gun was in the band. Let's say 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.639 the gun wasn't in the band. You are really rolling 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.680 the dice there. If you're trying to bluff your way 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.800 towards like an uber athlete looking dude just saying they're 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.840 shorter DOUGHI er people like me. You could just you know, 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.960 and I'll just give you the wallet, you know. Uh. 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.040 In San Diego Chargers News, this is becoming a regular 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.959 part of this podcast because Greg was moving away from 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.960 the Patriots now and towards his hometown, Los Angeles Chargers. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.560 It's not that's where I live in my hometown. The 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.879 Charges released veteran guard Orlando Franklin on Monday of the 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:12.320 team announced. UM and ESPN at first reported that this 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.560 is the same Orlando Franklin that signed it five year, 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.320 thirty six point five million dollar contract just two years ago. Uh. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.719 It costs l A two point eight million against the cap, uh, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.400 leaving almost five billion and dead money. Greg, this one 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.680 didn't work from the start, it didn't. There was a 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.399 huge bus. Tom Talasco, their general manager, is now on 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.520 the third iteration really of trying to rebuild this offensive line. 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.960 He brought in another X Bronco, Russell Okung, will be 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.800 their left tackle. They drafted two guards. But I thought 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.600 it was worth mentioning because he was such a free 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.640 agent bust and because this is the one thing that's 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.400 gonna ruin all of our Chargers love that I have, 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.480 is this is him getting this offensive line right. He's 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.800 shown that he hasn't been able to do it in 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.880 the past, and they've got They're gonna have two rookies. 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.160 O Kung's coming over as a free agent. Like maybe 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:00.919 it works, maybe it doesn't, but that's kind of what 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.280 that stands in the way of this Chargers team being 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.400 as good as we think they could be. Russell good 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.800 by the way, I don't know, it seems okay, I 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.600 know he's he was a first round pick and then 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.000 keep denverd and keep him around and now he's on 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.880 his third team in five years or whatever, Thank you pay? 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.800 Did you kind of come up with the answer to that? 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.879 To some degree, he's a patch. There's not enough, not 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:21.640 enough of these. I mean they got rid of King Dunlap, 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.119 they got rid of Franklin, who was like having Twitter 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.480 wars with his own teammates. Tough. Yeah, yeah, it's been 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.560 a tough offseason to patch your offensive line. Uh. In 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:35.280 other news, um mark you pay attention to this, especially 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:42.160 Antonio Crimardi. Ah, he got his wife pregnant again again. 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:46.480 He's gonna have his fourteen kid and third after third 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:51.080 post sector after the v I thought that was somewhat 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.840 of a permanent procedure. That doesn't work all the time. 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.360 If you're doing a winners and losers of this new 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.400 obviously winner, you know, the four teenth kid, biggest winner there, loser, 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:04.760 the guy who gave the vasect of me bad for 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.600
