1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, wishes they were Barbara Sessler.

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Mom's name? Where did that come? It is? She also

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: listens to the show um somewhat religiously, so she's going,

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna probably throw her for a loop as it

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: did us and me to find somewhat religiously like lapsed. Well,

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to commit her

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: to it. I think she listens to it a lot,

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: like almost every show, Dan hands and I'm joined in

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: her room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? I mean

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: absolutely threw me for a loop because Ricky with the

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: money drops we basically crowdsource it. Yes, so does that

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: mean some stranger on Twitter? But but wait, you guys,

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: just you guys, you guys just forgot. There was one

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: episode like last month where Mark was like if I

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: was a girl, if if I was Barbara Sessler, and

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: people didn't know that that was your mom. It was

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: like it sounded like you just came up with if

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: you were a female, you would be Barbara Sessler. So

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: it's like a call back to your own joke that

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: you guys don't remember. Not a lot of Barbara's being

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: born today being named Barbara. It's not a hot winds

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: call it a hot, flaming hot name. At the moment,

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: it was like you peaked in the fifties and sixties.

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Well grandmother was Barbara, not calling it peaked. But you know,

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever met a Barbara that's

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: under the age of forty. Honestly, I feel like it

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: was removed as an option. I don't know why, Babs.

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: I have a neighbor nicknames sort of like how Clary's

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: going to be from men in the next any any

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Barber's I can think of where you know, on television

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: or movies, and a while ago, you know what I say,

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: bring back Barbara. I think it's a very nice It'll

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: come back, Babs. They all come. They all come back eventually. Actually,

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: my neighbor is a woman named Barbara. She's about seventy

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: seventy five years old. She's lived in the same house

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: since she was a girl, so she's been on my block.

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: And she's also the kind of cliche older lady that's

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: always looking out the window and knows everybody's business. So

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: she's a great resource. So I always keep in touch

42
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: with Babs. I call her Babs, and um, the first

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: time I said it to her, said she went, oh my,

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: no one has called me that many many Why does

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: it not surprise me that you have already enlisted a

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: spy for your name? Seriously, the name Barbara was the

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: number two ranked name in the thirties and had an

48
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: amazing run where it stayed in the top ten, uh

49
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: until nineteen sixty. Now not even in the top n

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: It's a versatile name, but I guess that that's not

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: valued anyone taking a dirt nap. Save it for the

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Bab's podcast. All right, Um, welcome to the Thursday edition

53
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL podcast. Um, we have a

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: very nice show for you, and I love any episode

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: where we can interface with the listeners. Uh. That sounded

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: a little clinical, but how about just communicate. That seems

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: that's a little warmer. Share something together. Share, So there

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: it is, share something together. So the mailbag makes us

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: return in a nice job. Got some good queries, um

60
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: this this time around, so we'll do that a little later. Also, Greg,

61
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: you are you? You seem to be in good spirits

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: and awake. But you've been up for a long time apparently,

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: and it ties into our segment what we're getting up

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: early for? What did you get up early for? I

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: had there's some French open action that I was I

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: was excited to watch, and uh got up around am

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: a little later than I meant to, but you know,

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: caught you know, the matchup, got it. Got it got

69
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: me thinking sort of about Wes's passion for the Reds

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: right now is inspiring that That's the other thing. Like

71
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: he gets home from a night out, maybe he's had

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: a couple of drinks or whatever. He knows the final

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: score or he doesn't. He gets home at eleven PM,

74
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: he watches the entire Reds game until two in the morning.

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: That is a level of devotion. It's almost inspiring. But

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: I feel that way about some of madness. I watched

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: these games so I can have the film at my disposal,

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: so in my mind I can make future moves that

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: will make the Reds better, even though I have no

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: power to make any moves for the rich and so

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, I I do that for a big Kandy

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Shikory matches, you know, in the Grand Slam What are

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: the football What are the football things that are getting

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: you up in the morning. It's been our job for

85
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: a while here, but what still gets those juice flowing

86
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: like a little kid? Now? I know you're a Red

87
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Sox fan, so you hate the Yankees. But do I

88
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: inspire you that I watched like a hundred and fifty

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Yankee games? Or is it only because West? I I

90
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: know the answer to that question, and that's fair. Your

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Your fandom of the Yankees has been tried and true

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: and consistent. I was just kind of blown up. These

93
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: are easy to root for where the Reds are hard.

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: I was just kind of blown away. Do you what?

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: He gets home and he knows the score and then

96
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: he starts at the beginning and then watches anyway. And

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: the other day I texted him about like a game

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: winning home run and they didn't respond two hours later

99
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: because he was avoiding text and watching the games starting

100
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: from the first inning. And you know, it's like this madness,

101
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: six games under enjoy before the next two Mays come around.

102
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 1: This is how I know you're not a real Reds fan, Greg,

103
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: because anyone with a pulse on the Reds know that

104
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: they are ascending and they will make the playoffs. You

105
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: are you are an incredible die hard Yankees fan, though

106
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: you watch every single game right now. Well had a

107
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: successful a blog as well for years that you could

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: still find it was marginally successful. Yes, River and Sunset.

109
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: You had it on in the house before the wedding.

110
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: You were in your tucks watching it. I love the

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: National Testime. It's well known. I'm I'm a baseball blog too.

112
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: Back in the day. That is a b Storine Dan's

113
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: was a quite a that is quite a thing. You're

114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: the tennis guy tennis. I didn't even I didn't even

115
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: like watching tennis. Five thoughts that you played tennis this morning,

116
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: And now I found out that you simply probably rolled

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: over in your bed and watched it on your phone

118
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: or something to go out to the main room make

119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: some coffee. But it wasn't that impressive, all right? So

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: what do we what gets us up early in the

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: morning for football? Let's start with some news. Hey, oh

122
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: speaking a Ludicrous my favorite song roll out by Ludicrous

123
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: and tune in tomorrow. Maybe I'll say it. Who knows?

124
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Charlie Casserley on NFL Network. Now, the question did someone

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: get in Charlie's ear and say mentioned ludicrous Or does

126
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Charlie Casserley the former general manager of course of both

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins in the Houston Texans. He's been on

128
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: our show. Uh, an older gentleman, great guy, Charlie. Does

129
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: he actually know totally organic? Totally totally organic? Based on

130
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: Instagram feed, I think a lot of people might underestimate

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: what Charlie knows about many thing. Well, he's got a daughter. Uh,

132
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: and that's a song that like plays at sporting events.

133
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: I have a feeling he that's a real thing that

134
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: he knows that song. I don't think he has a CD.

135
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I but I know we could have mined that topic

136
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: a little from another angle as well, which is it

137
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: does feel like producer fed. But I think we all

138
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: believe the Charlie's versatile. I actually know the answer. Um,

139
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: you guys privately, all right, let's get into the news

140
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: and start. Why would it be so disappointing with you? Well,

141
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: just what a bad take I had, you know, what

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: a disastrous way to start the show. Chris Harris and

143
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos have gotten a deal done. The cornerback who

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: was unhappy um with his contract status reached an agreement

145
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos to adjust his salary for he'll

146
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: now be paid just a shade over twelve million, James

147
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Palmer reported Tuesday evening. Mike Cliffs of nine News first

148
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: reported it, and the team later confirmed it. So Chris

149
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Harris in the building. This is a four time Pro

150
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: Bowl player, a one time All Pro selection. He turns

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: thirty on June eighteenth, and that's a tricky number for

152
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: a number one cornerback. But west this is a move

153
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: that keeps the Broncos in a good place defensively. There

154
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: was talk that he could be trade bait around the draft.

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: This is a much better outcome for this organization. Yeah,

156
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: it feels like all sides win here. He's he's going

157
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: to be thirty years old. Um, Like you said, four

158
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl are still one of the best cornerbacks

159
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Their secondary sort of fell apart down

160
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: the stretch when he was injured. And it still seems

161
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: to me like this was all about making sure he

162
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: gets as much or more than Kareem Jackson gets this year.

163
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: That's a great point, and and it's doing right by

164
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: a guy who's been one of the better bargains in

165
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: the league for a while. It's a couple of times

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: lately that a team just decided to do right by

167
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: a guy they didn't have to. The Patriots edem in

168
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: this with Harris. You don't want that employee coming in

169
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: who's really not as good as you make in more money.

170
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: Can cause a lot of problems. I mean, like not

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: not every corner is the same, So him turning thirties

172
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: different than some others turning thirty where they're about to

173
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. But I don't have a problem

174
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: with Elway doing this and assessing a year from now

175
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: if they want to get into the free agent derby

176
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: to keep him around post thirty. This is very much

177
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: a win now defense in Denver, and that that secondary

178
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: group with Kareem Jackson who's thirty one, and um Harris

179
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: is turning thirty. That's you gotta make ky. This is

180
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: a big year, a big year for your team. It's

181
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: not my team. I was just thinking that, like you

182
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: called it a win now defense. I think most people

183
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: would consider this a win never offense. I don't know

184
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: that's your guy, Joe, I mean Joe, most people I

185
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: believe in Joe Flacco. It's but it is Flacco will

186
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: find out. It is sort of fifty to me whether

187
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: this offense is anything. The Colts and Broncos play, who

188
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: are you going to root for? Those are clearly the

189
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: two West Broncos are not one of my teams. I

190
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: don't know. We're a little bit back. It's more a

191
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: West is right. I he's what he's saying is truthful.

192
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: He's invested in Joe Flacco being successful this year, and

193
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: that we could misconstrue that is saying he's a Broncos fan.

194
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: But what all West needs is for Joe Flacco to

195
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: be uh top fifteen quarterback and he's the winner. He

196
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: doesn't need the Broncos to win ten games. I like,

197
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: have you boiled this down to winning and losing? On

198
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: my end? Because this might come back their seasons mostly

199
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: about you at this point that the Denver population don't.

200
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the Los Angeles Rams and Todd Gurley.

201
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: It's a topic of intrigue in the NFL. Girlely dealing

202
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: with a knee condition that um disconcerting Lee could be

203
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: a long term issue, not something that he could just

204
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: show up in camp and be back to old Todd Gurley.

205
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it all plays out. For now,

206
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: the Rams have a quote, according to ESPN, specific individualized

207
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: offseason plan for Girle and it does not include the

208
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: star running back um appearing in any team drills at

209
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: O t A S. Here's what Sean McVeigh had to say.

210
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: That was what we felt like was the best for

211
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: Todd when Todd and I sat down, and it's been

212
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: really good so far and we feel good about it.

213
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Mark Uh, do you read into this at all? I

214
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: don't know why they'd have him out there doing much

215
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: more than nothing, because there it's I think, and there

216
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: is something going on with Todd Gurley that they have

217
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: been a little strange about from the start. It's on

218
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: my radar. I really think that the drafting of Darryl Henderson,

219
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: who I think is a role player for them, but

220
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: someone that less need said, gave the Rams and Alvin

221
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: Kamara skill set that they wanted to use that he

222
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: could have a big role. I think it's just they've

223
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: been kind of telling us, whether we want to hear

224
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: it or not, for a long time that Todd Gurley

225
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: is not going to necessarily go get three hundred and

226
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: fifty carries that they are trying to elongate his career

227
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: and keep him as healthy as possible, So why would

228
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: you be putting them out there in late May to

229
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: do anything? Right now? The last three seasons UM for

230
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: girls age twenty two through age twenty four seasons, he's

231
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: ranged between two hundred and fifty six and two hundred

232
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: fifty nine carries. He's also had between forty and sixty

233
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: catches as well, So this guy has been a touch

234
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: monster for them around. You know, probably averages around three

235
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: hundred touches a year in his career. I'm gonna set

236
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: the over under right here for you, Greg Rosenthal for

237
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley touches in twenty nineteen at two thirty seven

238
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: and a half. I was assuming I would go under

239
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: with any number you gave me, But that's I'm going

240
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: way over. That's pretty low number that he has averaged

241
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: in the last three years, over three twenty touches per year,

242
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: so that is a big drop off. That's this year

243
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: is a lot different than last year. Though with what

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: we're hearing, I don't know, I might go under said

245
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: it low. Here's the thing I heard, Steve Weisch talking

246
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: about this, and the Rams are saying this was the

247
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: plan going into the off season. We have a you know,

248
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: a load management type of plan like in the NBA,

249
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: and it's all this stuff. No, it's significant to me.

250
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: I think it's quite significant. And I'm not it's not

251
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: an alarm belt. But se Quon Barkley and Ezekiel Elliott

252
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry and Frank Gore and

253
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: Lamar like, none of these other guys have these sort

254
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: of plants. You know, they're not sitting out of ot

255
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: s because the people think that there's value to O

256
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: T S. I think it's everything about Tod's eye opening.

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Two news involving West speaking of your

258
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: uh love of Cincinnati. Their football team is the Ben

259
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Gals and head coach Marvin Lewis spent years and years

260
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: and years and years there. He toiled in Cincinnati forever,

261
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: finally parted ways with the team and was unattached for

262
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: a while, but now that is no longer the case.

263
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: He has joined the Arizona State football staff, led by

264
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: head coach Herm Edwards. Herm Edwards and Marvin Lewis together

265
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: and I have a eatement from herm that I'd like

266
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: to read. Can some missive music, please, Ricky Hollywood if

267
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: you have it. Marvin Lewis is one of the most

268
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: respected minds in our game, whether as the winningest coach

269
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: and the franchise history of the Cincinnati Bengals or the

270
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: architect of one of the greatest defenses in NFL history,

271
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: the two thousand Baltimore Ravens. Marvin has succeeded everywhere he

272
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: has been, and he has done it the right way.

273
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: His passion for teaching will be an incredible benefit not

274
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: only for our coaches, but also for the young men

275
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: we are responsible for as students and athletes. West will

276
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: there be We talked about a reckoning on the last show,

277
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Greg the Sublime, somehow getting a reckoning, Um twenty years later. Um,

278
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: will there be a reckoning years down the line where

279
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: people will appreciate Marvin Lewis a little bit more in

280
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati than we do now. Where you've seen as a

281
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: guy that hung around too long and never won, I

282
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: would guess not because people are married to their illusions

283
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: in their narratives, and the narratives are that Marvin Lewis

284
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: stayed around too long. And wasn't that great of a coach.

285
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I maintain when you look at the history of what

286
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: coaches have done under Mike Brown, Marvin Lewis is in

287
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: a tier of his own, and he is way better

288
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: than anybody Mike Brown has been able to get to

289
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: coach of that football team like the we've talked about

290
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: in the pod. When they interviewed former Cincinnati player Salomon Wilcox,

291
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: former NFL Network personality for the Pain Rankings, Marvin Lewis

292
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: raised the Titanic absolutely. I think also with the Bengals

293
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: when when he went to Cincinnati, they were operating almost

294
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: unlike any other team in the dark. Hees when it

295
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: came to the draft and you look at some of

296
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: the draft classes in the way that they built a

297
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of those teams. You can inside out, that's where

298
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: you want to appreciate it. But what is sports. You

299
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: have to you have to show winning seasons, championship seasons.

300
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: He he does not need to be over credited for

301
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: what they achieved in January, and he wants to stay

302
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: in football, clearly. I mean, that's an interesting combination there. Herman,

303
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, I just checked her. Marvin her medwords seven

304
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: and six second place in his division in the pack

305
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: twelveth South last year, but they were seven and sixth

306
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: the year before. So Marvin serve as a special advisor. Finally,

307
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: in the news, mark you you sent this in our

317
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: play is listed under the Pistol formation, but the set

318
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: is called Philly. When you look at the play, it

319
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: says Philly Special and then fake Philly Special. And as

320

00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: sure Philly Special made its way into matt and twenty.

324
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine Mark, you were responsible for thirty to

325
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: seventy sixty seven those signatures. Congratulations. You know I saw

326
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: because this has been obviously bubbling up in and not

327
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: only my timeline, but years Dan and I saw the

328
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: little And you can go visit Dan's replies and mentions

329
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: if you want to find a little swat you took

330
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: this morning. You know what, I felt nothing here, That

331
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: it's essentially nothing more than an option for like any

332
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: any sort of two point conversion play was just and

333
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: that's basic. That it's in a playbook now, and that's fine.

334
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: We also were asked by the Associated Press to rank

335
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 1: the top fifty plays of all time. And while the

336
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: helmet catch to the three of you were so enamored by,

337
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: it was in there I found industry that there was

338
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: a can helmet catch to pick from as well among

339
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: the crop of top plays. So also un original, But

340
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: I this time a body run the Philly special. What's

341
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: the other helmet catch? Antonio Brown? I didn't know. I

342
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: didn't know that one. I didn't I mean, I know,

343
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that. Yeah, at least point

344
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: being I mean, almost nothing in football is that original.

345
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: Let's start there and I feel nothing at this point

346
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: by your slings and arrows. I don't really, it doesn't

347
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: it has no meaning to miss it for listeners. A

348
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: newer Listeners show, Mark lost the sandwich prop the super

349
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: Bowl because he well, I just didn't win it. He

350
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: said in the Super Bowl fifty two preview show that, uh,

351
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: there would be a play that would become the most

352
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: famous play in NFL Super Bowl history. Uh. And Mark

353
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: is sticking to his guns that Philly Special is the

354
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: most um important famous play in the history of Super Bowl.

355
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: I am stick don't think how ridiculous that sounds just

356
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: me even setting it up, Well, it doesn't sound ridiculous

357
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: to many people. It's simply isn't what I you believe,

358
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: and you're the host, so you can pound your little

359
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: message home as much as you want. I think it's

360
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: it's it's easily it's easily the most influential second quarter

361
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: play in a game that was going to have four

362
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: more lead change. Well, you got your little bit into

363
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. West. Whenever you're whenever you want

364
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: to roll on in with your David Tyree scenario sixty

365
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: seven people, for I don't care about the sixty seven people.

366
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: That is a week statistic, and it's more like a

367
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: roundup than that's pretty weak. That's not that's not what

368
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I would be leaning on as my argument. That's sixty

369
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: seven people signed a petitiar. That's not sad. I mean,

370
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: that's that's pathetic. That's a sad little petition. Or or

371
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: how about this if you're mad and I'd have no,

372
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: I think it's good they put it in the in

373
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: the game. Why not have more fun? Are you Swede

374
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: to change the foundation of your programming by sixty seven people?

375
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: I find that interesting because we could get sixty seven

376
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: people to get anything into that game. A Apparently it's fair.

377
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: That's fair. Our Engels team dressed in pink might being

378
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: up to do that. That's what's happening in the news. Okay,

379
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Um Greg got up early for

380
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: the French Open. I mean, it's just see to me,

381
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: it seems crazy. But listen, I'm not a tennis fan.

382
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: Maybe if it was like the Yankees are playing in

383
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: London against the Red Sox in July, maybe that game's early.

384
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would get up for that, So

385
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's only a couple of these Grand

386
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: Slams a year. Well there's four, but that a couple

387
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: really in our our wheelhouse of the off season. And

388
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: your wife is pushing your wife, Emica, a great woman.

389
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: Could spend time with her a couple of weeks ago

390
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: at the West Lakisha Nuptuals. She's pushing hard for you

391
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: guys to be back east. What about the idea of

392
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: you would not have to be waking up before the

393
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: sunrise if you were living in New York like your

394
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: wife wants. Yeah, for the most part, Uh, sports schedules

395
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: are much better, I would say on the West Coast,

396
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: but or travel further east and go to France. But

397
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: when it comes when it comes to tennis, I would

398
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: say it's it's a little worse overall, although you get

399
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: a little edge with the Assie Open, I mean tennis,

400
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: it's everywhere. That's true. Counter argument, your children becomes sports fans,

401
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: which they already are, and they're up till one in

402
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: the morning watching Monday night football in the h Yeah,

403
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: I think much better. It was a huge boon for

404
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: for an East Coaster to come to the West Coast,

405
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: like I love. We're talking about baseball, a lot of

406
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: the games started four pm. That is beautiful. I love it.

407
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Or by the time my wife is home, she doesn't

408
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: have to. When we lived in New York, she get

409
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: totally got she got banged and not and not in

410
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: a good way. She would have to sit there and

411
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: watch the Yankees. Now, when she's home from work, the

412
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: Yankees are done, they're wrapping up chappings on the mound.

413
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: It's a good situation for you and m us Sunday

414
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 1: night football. And so you're saying now that now that

415
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: she gets banged, it's much more positive scenario. And it's

416
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: the family podcast Greg. When I was younger, like pulling

417
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: down the West host Vince Skully game, or like a

418
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: u c l A basketball game back when the Abandoned

419
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: Brothers are playing. That was fun because you could stay

420
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: up late and you can watch it. You feel like

421
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: you're getting away with something like Sparks Madness where they

422
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: click over to the West Coast games late. I missed

423
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: the East Coast side of it, but not as apparent,

424
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: not as all that stuff. Also, with technology, you can

425
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: watch a game the next day on your own time whatever.

426
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: As Damashek once said in a different situation when we

427
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: would go to a Dodger Stadium game. A day game.

428
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Your your cheat life, you know when you're watching daytime

429
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: sports sometimes. Okay, that's what's happening. There's what I know.

430
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: I already did that. Now we're talking about what you're

431
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: getting up early for. Okay, we started that. Yeah, we

432
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: started that. That's how that whole thing started. Um. So

433
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: what are we getting up early for? Um? Figuratively? Um

434
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: for the NFL? And Greg? This this is a great,

435
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: great segment idea that you came up with. So I

436
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: want you to start it. Uh, get the group going here. Sure.

437
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: When I thought about the first name that came to mind,

438
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: I just quickly in the background, that's in the background,

439
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: we've had sports up there. Relax, Uh what uh what

440
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: what was the first name that comes to my mind?

441
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: It was Lamar Jackson and I and I then I

442
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: went through all the teams and all and Mark's getting

443
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: a scowl on his face, right, No, no, no, still

444
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: special And I tried to actually go through all the

445
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: teams and what else would it be? Is like that?

446
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: The is the first answer, not not the right one,

447
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: but he really is the thing I'm most excited about

448
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: is watching that offense. He made a little bit of

449
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: news this week by saying he didn't know they were

450
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: installing an entirely new offense under Greg Roman until he

451
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: showed up for O T S, which is curious in general.

452
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of it, but it's curious.

453
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because the the offense isn't gonna be that

454
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: much different. Greg Roman was very involved. But when Greg

455
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: Roman was running the forty niners, I was so excited

456
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: for that. Colin Capper nick his the first season where

457
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: he took over, and then the first full season he

458
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: had as a starter. And now it's six years later

459
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: and the rest of the NFL is doing something totally

460
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: different with spread offenses. But the Ravens have this vision

461
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: of how they're gonna run offense. It's gonna have a

462
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: lot of tight end, is gonna have a lot of running.

463
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson's gonna be underrated as a passer

464
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: and just on a week to week basis. I am

465
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: so excited to just see that like that. That is

466
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: what's got my juices flowing more than anything else. For

467
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: the season. You're invested in Lamar Jackson. I've sins that

468
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: since he took the job. I think it's just fun

469
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: to see when teams are zigging when the rest of

470
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: the league is zagging. And I love running quarterbacks. I've

471
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: I've always like wanted like the running quarterback UH concept

472
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: to work on a more consistent level, Like I love

473
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: watching Cam Newton. Cam Newton has been one of my

474
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: favorite you know players to come into the league certainly UH.

475
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: And that's worked on you know, a certain level, and

476
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: parts of it's been fun. But I think the Ravens

477
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: are doing it with a commitment that we haven't seen.

478
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: I I can't really think of a team that's been

479
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: as different as I think the Ravens will be with

480
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Greg Romans. Got some skins on the wall,

481
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: your old buddy Mark Sessler some proof that he can

482
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: maybe do it and think outside the but not my

483
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: buddy some Pelts anymore. Notice you didn't mentioned the last

484
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: year or two he had in San Francisco. No, and

485
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: then it went horribly And maybe this I don't know

486
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: if this is gonna have staying there. I don't know.

487
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: There's no way to really know, But I think the

488
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: NFL is changing and there's room for different ideas. And

489
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: they're a team that loves having tight ends on the

490
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: field anyways, and they're gonna do that. They're gonna run.

491
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: I thought they were fun to watch at the end

492
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: of last season. All right, So that's what Greg's getting

493
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: up early for. West. What are you getting up early for. Well,

494
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: when I thought about this, there was a first place

495
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: and then a distant, distant second place and everyone after.

496
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting up early for Baker and Mayfield to Adel

497
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: that was my number two. Baker to O'Dell and you

498
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: can throw in Chub and the rest of that offense.

499
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: To me, I want to see what similarities are there

500
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: to two thousand seven Patriots with the spacing that Odell

501
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: Beckham is going to provide, the downfield threat, Jarvis Landry

502
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: maybe in the West Welker rule. Chubb is a better

503
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: running back than anybody on the two thousand seven Patriots

504
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Antonio Callaway and the Dante Allworth rule. Wow, I'm excited

505
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: about this offense. Comparing it to one of the best

506
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: offenses of the last twenty years. I could be totally wrong.

507
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: It's just a vision I have. I don't think that

508
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: you're I think there's why would you be wrong? Other

509
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: than the fact that I don't know what the two

510
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: thousand Patriots did up front on their line, but you know,

511
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: they were well coached, as they always are, and Cleveland

512
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: to me has question marks and we've mentioned this every

513
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: time with the Browns left tackle, right tackle, and frankly,

514
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna be starting a second year player that barely

515
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: played last year in the interior line too, so that

516
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 1: all needs to work out or what like. You can

517
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: at Baker Mayfield running for his life back there. I mean,

518
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: they they way they coached a pretty questionable line last

519
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: year at the tackle spot is encouraged. They were pretty

520
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: good to do that twice or their line was fine

521
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: last year. It didn't really especially the post Huge Jackson,

522
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: post Hugh Jackson. He was Baker was one of the

523
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: least sat quarterbacks in the league when Freddie Kitchens was calling,

524
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: I mean, that was my other that would have been

525
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: my second option. I just figured in this room, I mean,

526
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: who how could it not be excited? You're bringing up

527
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: the two thousand seven Patriots, where which to me, there

528
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: are other offenses that I think of even surpassed them.

529
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Now with the yardage, there was a couple other It

530
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: was the Broncos. And but but I'm saying thirteen. But

531
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: I think that the best and I and I think

532
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: the only thing I would say to that is Tom

533
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: Brady was the greatest quarterback ever at the peak of

534
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: his powers that season could Baker and he had never

535
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: even thrown for thirty touchdowns, much less fifty, Right, But

536
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the idea Mayfield would have to take

537
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: a pretty huge leap to be Tom Brady. I mean,

538
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: I think if if you take the Baker and Mayfield

539
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: of November and December, he could easily throw for forty

540
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: plus touched him. We loved quarterbacks ultimately, and like to me,

541
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: Mayfield's the most exciting quarterback to come into the league.

542
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't know since I've been covering it. I mean,

543
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: luck is up there, But in just in terms of

544
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: my hopes of what his career might be like, I

545
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: don't know, There's not no one else I can think

546
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: of sparked that much excitement or at least in my

547
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: mind going into the second year. Big part of sports.

548
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why Farv remains my favorite

549
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: quarterback to watch of all time, because he was the

550
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: most fun Mark. How about you what are you getting

551
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: up for? Besides then can I give you an A

552
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: and a B because I I like a little I

553
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: like chaos um more than I can't wait to watch

554
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: this three technique, you know, battle wits against a guard,

555
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: so um two things, and it actually to counter greg Um.

556
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: You would think I would there's some you would never

557
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: think I'd go Ravens, but I think that we may

558
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: get um in this new fangled offense. And I do

559
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: think that you've got the right coordinator there to do

560
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: it all. Taste some Hill part two potentially with Trace McSorley,

561
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: because they've already come out on record John Harbaugh multiple well,

562
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: just because because I have actually a B and C.

563
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: Because Part B would be the Cardinals offense because it's

564
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: new and we've already dug into that a hundred times.

565
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: But the idea that they have this guy that they're

566
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna use all over the place in an offense that

567
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: I think will be very unpredictable with the Ravens to

568
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: begin with. And they didn't draft him to be a

569
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: non quarterback. They said they're going to use them all

570
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: over the place as a quarterback too. I like that

571
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of player. Tassom Hill is one of the most

572
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: intriguing guys out there last year. To me, I think

573
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: that's fair. I wonder if trace mcsurley is going to

574
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: make the team. I seventh round draft pick or sixth

575
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: round draft pick. It's yeah, it's probably think he will

576
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: make the team. I'm banking on that or my point

577
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: has zero behind it. Um. My third thing i'bout about

578
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill does for a second time around the league. Well,

579
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: that's that's that's right up there to my third thing

580
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: is which desperate team just before the deadline trades a

581
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: second round pick for Cults? Back up, Jacoby Brissette. It's

582
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Do you think they're getting a second Yes?

583
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: I think Ultra chaos is gonna unfurrel for two or

584
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: three teams, and there's gonna be a bidding war for

585
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette. Wait and see like this as if chaos

586
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: does happen, then you could hold the team over a barrel.

587
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Mark Mark's been in the take game a long time.

588
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the last person to the

589
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: take anyone shows up on ms Orli corner for Prissett

590
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: Brissett Fever Marks like I'm already there. I'm already there.

591
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: The corner is crowded. Pick a new corner. Brissette is

592
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: actually Brissette. You would think like that peak corner was

593
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. You're getting back in when

594
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: everybody kind of moved on from Brissette. So I like

595
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: to Cob, you've come out on the other side of

596
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: take corner and you're back on first take. Well, I

597
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: don't know if I was there to begin with, but

598
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm I am there late, but I'm the only one

599
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: there now, which is a good rounder. Think, I know

600
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: that sounds insane, but if you if if it's also

601
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: a team that is sort of shifting in the wind

602
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: with the which one I would imagine be an injured

603
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: quarterback or two in front of them, that may not

604
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: be the future. That's not a crazy thing to give up.

605
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: If if it has that's like five and two or

606
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: something like that. You know, and loses Cousins at the

607
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: end of the year, and he was one of the

608
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: most sacked quarterbacks in the NFL when he played. That's

609
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: all in the past. The future is bright. What gets

610
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: me up in the morning is kickers. You know that

611
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: everyone you know, Uh, that's that's all I care about.

612
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: So UM, I decided to take a spin around the

613
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: league just to see some of the good like solid

614
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: kicker battles and like West is the Browns are going

615
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: to be the two thousand seven Patriots. That's fine. I'm

616
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: more interested in the Browns kicker battle. Let's start there

617
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: where Greg Joseph who you know, Mark Mark you know

618
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: up and down last year to be kind, Yes, to

619
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: be kind. Uh. And he got Austin c Bird in

620
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: there as well. And Mike prefer who's uh the new

621
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator. He likes both options and he had

622
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: this to say, they're getting better as well. Uh. It's

623
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: a work in progress, but they're both very strong, very talented.

624
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited where they're at. Uh. And it's a fluid

625
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: competition in Cleveland. Uh. Spinning on to the Giants where

626
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: Aldric Rose Rosas rosas one of the best kickers, one

627
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: of the best, and you would think, oh, he's got

628
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: it done. Uh. Pro Football Focus had him as the

629
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: best kicker in the league. I think he was second

630
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: pro last year. Um. He is only the fourth Giants

631
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: kicker ever to make the Pro Bowl. Well, why is

632
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: Joey Sly in the building camp legh camp leg perhaps

633
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: with Rosas Joey Sly. Joey Sly sounds like a name

634
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: made up. He kicked for v Tech from two thousand fourteen,

635
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: a d name and uh yeah v Tech Sly. He

636
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: was very good. Actually he was a four year starter

637
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: All Atlantic Coast Conference. That's a c C selection semifinalists

638
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: for the lou Groz Award, which is presented of course

639
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: to the top kick win the award. I'm not really

640
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: impressed with your set. There are there also finalists or

641
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: does that mean he's like in the final three? That's

642
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: a very finalist. Also means you didn't win, by the way,

643
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: so well he was in the conversation anyway, very long

644
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: time Sly. He was signed after a tryout uh this month,

645
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: and he's a long shot because Rosas rosas Um really

646
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: had a nice year, but he also struggled. Aldric did

647
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call h Aldric uh mightily in So,

648
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: I think the Giants are hedging on their bets. They're

649
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna bring in Joey Slide and if if he kicks

650
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: well in the summer, they'll either give him a practice

651
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: squad designation or say, hey, don't lose our number. We're

652
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: gonna see Audrick looks spinning forward to Chicago. We know

653
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: where we're going on here? What's going on here? Chris

654
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: Blewett can't believe that's his name, Elliot Fry and Eddie

655
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: Pinero all in the mix, and um Safety's coach of

656
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: the Bears sewn to say, doesn't think he's ever seen

657
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: that many kid cars under one roof. When I coached

658
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: in college, we might have had that many on our

659
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: roster when you have a hundred and fifty guys, and

660
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: this was interesting. That's the most high profile one for sure,

661
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: for sure for the Bears. First O t a practice.

662
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: He's one of them, like Trace McSorley, if you need

663
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: to get the co post looked a little different. They

664
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: had a second set of uprights built within the standard upright,

665
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: narrowing the target space. Uh. Piniero is the only guy

666
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: with real kicking experience in the NFL. Missed the narrow

667
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: uprights on a second and final attempt with a few maybe,

668
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: So that's a situation. Moving on to San Francisco, an

669
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: interesting situation going on with Robbie Gold, who is one

670
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: of the more accurate kickers in the last ten twelve

671
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: years in the NFL. And he's he's unhappy though. Uh

672
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: they the Niners slapped him with the franchise tag and

673
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: he wants out, he wants a trade. Well, guess what

674
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: your boy, um, Mark Sessler Kyle Shanahan says, We're not

675
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: going to trade him. And we also know this is

676
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: his last year here. So the writings on the wall. Um. Meanwhile,

677
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: and this is this should be interesting to Jonathan Brown.

678
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: They brought him on the roster, so he's kicking maybe

679
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: a camp Lake maybe in case of emergency situation if

680
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: Gold retires does something. Gold puts his house on the

681
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: market in Chicago. Now why is that important to know?

682
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: The Bears in Gold have a rich history together. The

683
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: history is very rich here and Gold has made no

684
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: um uh secret about wanting to get back to Chicago.

685
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: And we know the Bears that we just talked about

686
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: have a very difficult situation cooking right now with their

687
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: kicking game. It would be a match made in heaven,

688
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna happen. Meanwhile, Gold, yes, he puts

689
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: his house in the market. So oh, he's given up

690
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: on his Bear dreams. No, he's building a new home

691
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: in the Chicago area. Your move. Where's the Jonathan Brown part?

692
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: We're interested in that he's in the building. Just keep

693
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: that in mind. That's just something to keep in the

694
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: back of your mind. This is not just Gold alone

695
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: on the roster. So he might be on San Francisco

696
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: right now, Robbie, but guess what, he's building a house

697
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: in Chicago. That's where he'll be kicking and twenty at

698
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: the latest UM. Couple of ones, A couple more real

699
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: quick keep the Vikings UH have just hired Nate Cating

700
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: as their UM part time consultant. Tom Pallisero reported, now,

701
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: Nate Cating, why is that name ringing a bell? Nate

702
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: Caating had a nice career in the NFL. Kicked about

703
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: ten twelve years, mostly at the Chargers. For a while,

704
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: was the most accurate kicker in history. Yes, he retired

705
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: with a good point west. He retired of the eighty

706
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: two point career percentage, But he missed that kick against

707
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: the Jets. He missed three kicks kicker, but Vinitaria, they

708
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: end up missing kicks that ruined their career and the

709
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: two thousand nine a f C Divisional playoffs against the Jets.

710
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: Cating missed three field goals, including thirty seven and forty.

711
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: Also missed one against the Jets as a rookie in

712
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: two thousand four that costs the San Diego Chargers. So

713
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: he had some down moments. But he's in the building.

714
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: And remember entering a sixth season. Mike zimmer Uh is

715
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: on his fourth kicker, Dan Bailey currently in the building,

716
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: but he's kind of shots turning into performance um. He

717
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: replaced Daniel Carlson, who replaced of course Kai four Bath

718
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: kais Kai who replaced Blair Walsh and we remember what

719
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: happened with Blair Walsh against the Seattle Seahawks in the

720
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: playoffs that faithful cold day. Finally, my favorite kicker battle

721
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: to track. And a lot of people are say in Chicago,

722
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: what I'm all about right now is what's going on

723
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: with the Bucks right now? Cairo Santos, he's the incumbent,

724
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: and he he brought some stability to that Tampa Bay

725
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: roster which was reeling from the Robbie Iguay bust at

726
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: the second round a couple of years back. Well, guess what,

727
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: the Bucks didn't get scared. They said we're gonna go

728
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: back to the draft. Well, we're gonna use the fifth

729
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: round pick on Matt Gay. And this is a big

730
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: kid sea bass out of the league. That guy was

731
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: built like a linebacker. We'll take a look at the

732
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: figure on Matt Gay. Uh, he's got a big leg

733
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: and this is he is obviously the favorite here. Jason

734
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: light the Bucks general manager. He's a big guy with

735
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: a big leg, but he's also accurate. He kicks in Utah,

736
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: but he's also good at sea level. Uh. Christ Paul

737
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: Neil remember him from Dallas. Um, my history and coaching

738
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: when I was in Dallas, it's always been to go

739
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: get a free agent and let's make the best of

740
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: it with the most competitive guys you can get. So, yes,

741
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: Gay is in the lead. Vote Gay, you would think

742
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: if you had to make a pick, who's gonna be

743
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: the kicker? But keep an eye on Kiro Santos who

744
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: doesn't leave the league easily. That is what I get

745
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: up in the morning for. I'd say this, You're extremely dense.

746
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Update won me over with the late music. But the

747
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: music was nice. Um, I have a question follow up

748
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: question on your sermon. Yes, Um, what exactly are you

749
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: getting up to watch the narrow uprights, kicking, then actually

750
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: kicking in week one like getting up, eating the reports,

751
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: the drama with the uh you know, O T A

752
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: S and then um mini camping. So you want to

753
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: apply on the wall in he's in training camp practices.

754
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to be a fly on one of

755
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the narrow uprights? And I just want to see it all.

756
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: I just want to watch the world burn. Fair enough,

757
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: I fly on one of the narrow uprights. I point right,

758
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: get up really high and and Greg Joseph will not

759
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: hit you because he's he's the one kicker in the

760
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: league that's trying to revolutionize the square with only line drive.

761
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: I know. I never said he's going to the low angle.

762
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: Well not with Austin Siebert there. He's gonna come in

763
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:36,239

812
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: Let's get to't there. Well, I mean, if you are

813
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: a parent, you know that Mother's Day typically is a

814
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: day where the mom, in some cases in urban settings,

815
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: vanishes for the entire day and dad is thrust into

816
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: a thirteen or fourteen hour parenting scenario. Well, now it's

817
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: Father's Day. What's gonna happen, It's gonna get real. Where

818
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: are you going? Well? What about? What about? What about Barbarie? Well,

819
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: it's different when it's your mother. I wish only rest

820
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: and relaxation her on any day. That's fair. All right,

821
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: let's get into the mail bag. We asked for questions,

822
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: you gave them. Uh, you gave us some great topics

823
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: that you on west. We'll start the wedding. Now, it

824
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: was almost two weeks ago, well not a week and

825
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: a half ago, and people are asking Cody Winter's lego

826
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: bucks man, who caught the paramour's bouquet. There was no

827
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: throwing a bouquet, there was no garter built stuff. We

828
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: didn't do all the traditional Oh yeah, you skipped the

829
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: cake thing. Nice move. Yeah, the no, we had cupcakes

830
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: and like a sweet station, right. I know, I didn't

831
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: think that's the first wedding that didn't involve the cutting

832
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: of the cake and the putting it in each other's face.

833
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: And well, look I don't need any of that stuff.

834
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: And if Lakisha says she doesn't need it, that's music

835
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: to my It's like at that point in the wedding,

836
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: you're ready to just start letting let's have let's have,

837
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: let's stopped up with the poppets. Responsibilities are over for

838
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: the night and the and the tossing the bouquet thing,

839
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: which I you know, it's I like it because it's

840
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: sort of a wild card scenario. Um, it's a pressure cooker.

841
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: I think for the collection of women trying to catch

842
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: the boquet. They're out there because you you haven't figured

843
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: anything out on the romantic front, and now you've got

844
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: to win in this athletics like a combination of some sweat,

845
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of desperation and then you know, some

846
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: some fun as well. But it's also enjoyable aspect. I

847
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: think it's meant for people in their twenties and like

848
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: Lakeisha's you know, late thirties. I'm in my forties. There's

849
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: less of a there's not as many people left to

850
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,479
Speaker 1: catch the bouquet. That's fair as well. All right, let's

851
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: move on poop. Stokes says, UH has this to ask,

852
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: how come Doug Peterson gets no love as a head coach?

853
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: Won the Super Bowl with a backup, along with a

854
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: playoff game the following year. There's an argument he's better

855
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: than NFL glory boy Sean McVeigh. I think Doug Peterson

856
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: gets a ton of credit. I never understood these why

857
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: doesn't get why doesn't he get any love things? Because

858
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing but love for Doug Peterson for like

859
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: two and a half years, and he wrote a memoir.

860
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm just coming from the Eagles fans are upset there

861
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: was some ranking because because I remember it in my

862
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: mentions where McVeigh was second and Peterson wasn't in the

863
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: top five or something. I just buy some brands a

864
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: little bit. I think he got hurt because, namely, had

865
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: Frank Wright not taken the Colts job and Josh McDaniels had,

866
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: we would still be puzzling over who was doing what

867
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: with the Colts, with the Eagles and Frank Reich did

868
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: not help Doug Peterson at all by going to Indianapolis

869
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: and totally transforming that team. It's a fair point. It

870
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: all change quickly if Carson Wentz is half as good

871
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: as like the O t A reports, which is like

872
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: he's lightening up the skies. But to your point to

873
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: Reike right, obviously went to indian had a great year,

874
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: but Peterson they had, they won, they got a playoff spot,

875
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: and they won a playoff game. So Peterson didn't. But

876
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: that's why I don't think he's not think anyone's like thinking, oh,

877
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: he's actually the twentieth best coach, he's top five. He's

878
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: on the right side of the um. What what did

879
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: we decide was the I called the Garrett scale, but

880
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: I people weren't an agreement. Oh, because Garrett is quite

881
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: obviously below the average, the medium. I find him to

882
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: be the prime radium. But I was curious the Garrett scale.

883
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Marvin Lewis was Marvin. It's everything Bengals fits

884
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: right in the middle. So Richard at not that Hunter asks,

885
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm a fan without a team, having abandoned the team

886
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: that left San Diego, that being the Chargers, I'm thinking

887
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: of becoming a Packers fan. Can I make the change

888
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: before Rogers retires without being a band wagoner? Interesting? Yes,

889
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: I think the fact that the Chargers left you you

890
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want, and who knows if you

891
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: get sick of the Packers after a few years jump around.

892
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's no rules for you now. I

893
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: think it's twofold. You cannot be killed for picking a

894
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: new team when what happened with the Chargers happened. Totally

895
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: cool with that. You cannot jump on the Packers and

896
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: not absorb people calling you a bandwagon You just gotta

897
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: let you gotta own it. You gotta explain why, and

898
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: you gotta your heart's leading you though, but you can't.

899
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: You're jumping onto a night into a nice scenario. It's

900
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: most rewarding when it's organic. You can't just say, oh,

901
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 1: I like watching Rogers. It has to be like during

902
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: the season, you just find yourself pulling for this team,

903
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: and then over and over that keeps happening, like West

904
00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: and the Broncos. Let's like get to my honeymoon, moving on.

905
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: Justin Frick asks, what take did you have that crushed

906
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: you the most? When it turned out to be wrong.

907
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, no shortage of options here for any of

908
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: us here in the studio. We've done um like nine episodes.

909
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: So Mark will start with you. It was a lot

910
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: um honorable mention anything I ever said about cult Lirla

911
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: Uh the tight end who came and went very quickly,

912
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: who I was convinced was Grounk part two. Um, I

913
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: remember lighting up have legal issues or yes, as did

914
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: I believe the next person I'm about to mention, although

915
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: maybe to a lesser degree. Um when the Browns did

916
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: not after all the players were cut in training camp

917
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: signed durn Carter to become their number one wide receiver,

918
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: and I spent I think large parts of Sunday into

919
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: Monday texting the three of you super annoyed at Ray

920
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: Farmer in the rounds. Perhaps he knew what he was doing,

921
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: right Farmer back then briefly the anything else, I think

922
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: the fact that I wrote a letter to Zach Mettenberger

923
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: did not um come out trying to be gonna go

924
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: with um maybe the most famous making the leap of

925
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: them all, sob Gerhardt, Well, I mean anything with making

926
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: the leap was suspicious, But I mean I I started

927
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: writing every Brown's quarterback since we've been doing the show.

928
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no end to I thought Eric Mangini

929
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: was Bill Belichick part two during part of Latter Stages

930
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: of two thousand nine? Who knows Um Brown's Draft Day?

931
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: That that? You know what? I hate to shatter because

932
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: I still got twenty of these mentions a week. It's

933
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: not even in my top two movies, not even close already.

934
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: Well it's twenty mentions a week on draft Day. Wow.

935
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: Well when our friend Um connor or did a breakout

936
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: special on Draft Day a couple of weeks ago, Yes, yes,

937
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: just it's like I'm logging off Twitter for the weekend.

938
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure he did a great job with it, but

939
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: I I got pulled into it. It was full of

940
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: hard from start to finish. This say, West, there are

941
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: many different ways for human beings to be wrong, and

942
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I've run the gannet on all of them.

943
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: But you have you ever heard the Jackie Robinson story

944
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: about loud wrong? So seven he is a rookie. And

945
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: there's also a picture on the Brooklyn Dodgers named Dan Bankhead,

946
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: who was an eager league veteran. So there were two

947
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: black guys on the forty seven Dodgers, and they were

948
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse arguing and Don Bankhead turns. Don Bankheads

949
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: in his thirties at the time, he turns to like

950
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: a twenty two year old Jackie Robinson and says, jack

951
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: not only are you loud, you're loud. You're not only wrong,

952
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: you're loud wrong. And I was that for Nick Foles.

953
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: That one I don't regret because he was good for him.

954
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: He went on to have a great career. He proved

955
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: me wrong. Byron Leftwich, that's the one I was a

956
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: loud wrong on the longest I thought he was going

957
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: to be a great quarterback. And one of my friends

958
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati reminded me last week at the wedding about

959
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: going on about Byron left which for years and years

960
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: and years and just being totally wrong. There was a

961
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: lot to like with Byron Leftwich. I think I learned

962
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: something from him, Like I don't think I knew enough

963
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: about football at the time to know that you can't

964
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: take a long wind up before he throw the ball. Yeah. Um,

965
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: I'll stick with quarterback Tom Brady um gradual declined, I

966
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: stand by the logic even looking back now. It was

967
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: before season. This was going into what was their previous

968
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: Super Bowl before this coming out after the Yes. Yeah,

969
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: so he was entering his I believe age thirty nine

970
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: season and and we had never seen Warren Moon had

971
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: was functional, I believe around that age. But I felt

972
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: that this would be the year or that would be

973
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: the year that he fell off. And um, I think

974
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: he started very slowly that year and it wasn't looking

975
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: too terribly, but he came on like a banshee. I

976
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: think he might have won m VP. I think he.

977
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been doing lots of things. He ended

978
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: up performing very well that year, won the Super Bowl,

979
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: and I think he's been to two more since. So

980
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: I think I got that one wrong. Now he is

981
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: now in gradual decline, and anyone who disagrees is just

982
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: they got the blinders on because you know, they are

983
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: Patriots fans and they can't say reality. But I was

984
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: easily two years um ahead of that in a bad way.

985
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: But you realize it's just because he's getting old. You're like, oh,

986
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: I can see it. It's like you're just fighting time.

987
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: It's not like you that's seeing this player down right right.

988
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: I was banking on the history more. I think he

989
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: came in second for the m v P that year

990
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: and then one it the next year. Right, So yeah,

991
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: they've they've made three straight super Bowl since then. It

992
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: seems like it's a bit of an exhausting hill to

993
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: stand on where you're sort of slow in slow motion

994
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: rooting for the demise of someone who keeps hitting mountain

995
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: top moments over and over. It will end, though, it

996
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: will end, the theory this year has it ends years.

997
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: This is when I when I you know, we got

998
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: we saw this question ahead of time that the takes

999
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: that hurt me the most were when I was doing

1000
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Those would keep me up at night when

1001
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: I really was on a hill for someone would be

1002
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: when it would be wrong. One that stands out is

1003
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,959
Speaker 1: Lamont Jordans. I think I ranked him like fifth going

1004
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: into the season, and he was very generic and that

1005
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: paining me. Ronnie Brown multiple times paining me. Tatum Bell

1006
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: was one. I remember, you know, it's like, oh, Tatum Bell,

1007
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to beat Quentin Griffin, that'll be easy.

1008
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: He's next. Brock goes back and then it's like when

1009
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: you get those wrong. There wasn't even Twitter at that point,

1010
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: but you just get fifty to a hundred emails people

1011
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: that were upset, right, It's just like so many emails,

1012
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: and especially when it was like a player that idgitimately

1013
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: really like, like like double hert Kevin Barlow was one

1014
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: for me. Um two more questions Michael Healy at Michael J. Heely,

1015
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: Um Mark, this is actually directed at you, But I'm

1016
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: curious what other people think. Who is your favorite spice girl? Um,

1017
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: who is your favorite? Because we did discuss this a

1018
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: little downstairs, and I I I think that the twenty

1019
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: year old, twenties something year old me was all about

1020
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: baby spice. The thirty sometimes year old me was way

1021
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: into sporty spice. But to me of today and there's

1022
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: no one even close scary spice smell by, I think

1023
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: she'd just be fun. She's got some skeletons in the closet.

1024
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: She's not gonna judge you. She's just gonna have a

1025
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: nice You're gonna have a good old time. She's been

1026
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: number one on the list for me the whole time.

1027
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: That is really was oh yeah, and I'll be come on,

1028
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: I get it makes sense. By the way, I've never

1029
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 1: heard anyone pound the table for sporty spice. Yeah, that's

1030
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: the first. I think that's maybe the appeal is that

1031
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: it's not the one everyone's always going on about. It's like, yeah,

1032
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: I was definitely cliche Ginger. I love the Jerry HOWI, well,

1033
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: that's cliche. What I would have thought I would have

1034
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: been Victoria Beckham? What was really at the time. I

1035
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: don't find posh to be attractive. I mean, David Beckham

1036
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: does apparently. Deep here Finally, last question, good Oh by

1037
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: the way, Vulture, which is the New York magazine, uh

1038
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: culture blog, just ranked every Spice Girl song, every song.

1039
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: Every song feels like a tiresome chore, like two of them.

1040
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 1: Want to Be was number one where it deserves to be?

1041
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: Got it right? How long does the list go on

1042
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: when anyone knows maybe there's there's like five or six

1043
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: decent ones. There's only thirty eight Spice Girl songs. How

1044
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: about that? It still feels like a long assignment. Yeah? Yeah,

1045
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: who would have thunk it? You know? Burned bright brief. Finally, um,

1046
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: this one from our old friend Tristan reject underscore c

1047

00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: yuture dum Greg Delaware who asked, will you be my dad?

1052
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: I think that I had to be Jack. I believe

1053
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: I think so. Um. Of course Delaware is your high

1054
00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: school band and a listener of the show throughout the

1055
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: option because Greg does not want to bring the tapes

1056
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want us to hear him singing, Uh

1057
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: what what was that kind of prog rock? Was that

1058
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: it seems really nothing? It was like, uh, it was nothing,

1059
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: it was it was I don't know. And after years

1060
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: we got you finally to acknowledge that you actually have

1061
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: tapes in your possession, the original stories that there. They

1062
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: were lost to the stands of time. Maybe somebody else

1063
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: in the band have them. Now you're telling us that

1064
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: you have them and you don't want to share him

1065
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: which is your sure and I think it would be

1066
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: one tape, but yes, and it's your right not to

1067
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: play the tapes on our show. But then a listener

1068
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: threw it out there, Hey what if we raised money

1069
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: for a charity of Greg's choosing in exchange for the tapes,

1070
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: which put Greg in a bit of a morality to spoty,

1071
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: don't we just raise money for the ethical corner? You

1072
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,479
Speaker 1: know the definition of charity as you're doing something without

1073
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: expecting something back. So that's that's that would just do it.

1074
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: But that would be great. And if the world was

1075
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: just just charities for nothing else but charity. Uh, and

1076
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: there's no strings attached, that would be great. But that's

1077
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: not what's being laid out. There never be a nice

1078
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: bucket challenge, right, what is that supposed to be mean?

1079
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean they that you had to come up with

1080
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: an ulterior motive to do to your charity. So anything

1081
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: any movement on that front, I mean there hasn't been

1082
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: any movement. Al Right, we'll check in. Good question. All right,

1083
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: that's it for today's show. We've got three shows next week.

1084
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,680

1085
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,480
