Speaker 2: the summer. Boy, we we finally got away and then

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: we've been in baseball and football mode. Really now it's

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: football mode. Although my little one's kind of he's got

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: a torn in Cooperstown, which is pretty cool. Well, uh

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: this coming week for his last baseball tournament of the season. Uh,

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, but we're in we're in football mode all

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: day practice, you know, we were we have been starting

56
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: the big one that will have camp. It's funny they

57
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: talk about high school so different now. So they started

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: in June, right, and they started three days a week,

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: one day early, one week early or the end of June,

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: they did five. They'd been consistently on three. Next week

61
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: starts sex and they go all training camps next week.

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: It's like that's training camp. We've been. We've been practicing

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: since June. Right, It's crazy, right, but because the rules legout,

64
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: everybody does it. Uh, and then the little ones, you

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: know he's ready to go. So we're we're we're, uh,

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: we're in camp and uh last week we started hitting,

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: so uh, it's fun fun. You know, we got football, dude,

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: this is our time of the year.

69
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: That's it's it's crazy that it's already here, like in

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: every good way. In some ways, it felt like this

71
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: summer has taken or ever to get to the point

72
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: that we're salivating over meaningless preseason games. But that's exactly

73
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: what we're doing, and we've finally gotten there. And then

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: the other hand, it feels like just a blink of

75
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: the night that we were talking about the super Bowl

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: and now we're already back to it. So you know,

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be such a interesting pre It

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: genuinely feels like a more interesting preseason than I can

79
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: remember in a long time. And I can't decide yes,

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: because like yeah, like it's like yes, is it or

81
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: is it just that I'm that starting. I don't know.

82
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: It just feels I feel drawn to preseason football this year.

83
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: You know what it must be something in the moon's

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: a full moon, right, I don't know what it is,

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: but dude, you're in my brain, I mean literally in

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: my brain. I've loved the last two nights. And I listen,

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: I always joke football, I get, you know, I'm like

88
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: half kidding and usually up board by the third quarter

89
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: or second quarter or whatever it is. You know, I've

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: enjoyed the hell out of the last two nights of

91
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: preseason football. Now. I was down for the Eagles, and

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: so I was down there, and then I got back

93
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: I watched the Raiders, and then then last night, I mean,

94
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: come on, I mean, how do you not kind of

95
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: watch and roof for Shador or you know, check it

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: out like you can't if you're a football fan, you

97
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: want to check it out. And he was terrific. You know, listen,

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: I know it's preseason and you know you're going up

99
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: against backups, but he looked good. He looked credible.

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: I think the part of the measured response, because this

101
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: is what we always want. We want like a measured

102
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: response to this stuff. I think the important thing is

103
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: that we're even in this response. So if any of

104
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks come out and they just suck in

105
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: their first game out, people are gonna freak out. I

106
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: think we're allowed to have, you know, a little grace

107
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: period of freak out. When it goes the opposite way, right,

108
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: like when somebody comes out and just absolutely destroys it

109
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason. The first thing we always say is, well,

110
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: it's just preseason. But if somebody comes out and they

111
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: suck in preseason, we never allow that same grace. Well

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: it's just preseason. They're working on things. So I think,

113
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: why not get a little over your skis right now

114
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: and just enjoy it for any of these teams, in

115
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: any of these performances, if somebody goes out and balls out,

116
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 1: let it be a big deal. And I think, look,

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: there's probably some middle ground when it comes to guys

118
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: like should or we'll find that middle ground. But for today,

119
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: just you sit back and say, hey, it's just nice

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: to see guys go out and thrive, Like it's nice

121
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: to see people make the most of the moment. And

122
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: I the only bummer is that we can't just make

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: it this moment now. It has to be what's it meaning?

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: And those are fair questions. It's just in the moment.

125
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: I look at it and say, I just want preseason

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: guys to be wildly successful. Yeah, exactly.

127
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't know what it is, but to your point,

128
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: I've loved it. Right, I've enjoying it last two nights. Man,

129
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm down. I want to see it. I

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: want guys to do well. I want to see young quarterbacks.

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I watched that game last night

132
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: and I here's what surprised me. He looked really comfortable

133
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: right he. I also thought his movements were quarterback ish,

134
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: right to use as an adjective, so everything appeared to

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: me fluid. He looked right right, forget about you know

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: who you're up against whatever, but he looked good. He

137
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: looked right, He delivered the delivered the ball, His mechanics

138
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 2: looked fine, he looked carried or at all. I thought

139
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: he looked you know, I thought he looked good. That

140
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: would be you know, when you're when you're when you're

141
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: kind of evaluating his play, he looked.

142
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: The part, Yeah, you're a thousand percent right. And by

143
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: the way, if we had seen that exact same game

144
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: last night from cam Ward for the Titans, the takeaway

145
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: would be, yeah, he looks like they got it right.

146
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, they got that pick right. It's for Shadur.

147
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: All he can do is make the most of the

148
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: reps that are in front of him, and for reasons

149
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: far beyond what we saw last night, you know, for

150
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the brown see him every day. People at Brown's camp

151
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: have talked about this repeatedly. He's fourth on the depth

152
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: chart for a reason.

153
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: For the Browns.

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: They're not just throttling their quarterback down. They're not, you know,

155
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Stevansi's not sitting here trying to teach their fifth

156
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: round draft pick some sort of lesson in humility by

157
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: making him work his way up from the fourth from

158
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: fourth on the depth chart. Like this isn't some you know,

159
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: high school any given Sunday sort of movie plot line.

160
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: So I think two things can be true here. He

161
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: went in last night and showed us why people really

162
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: do like Schadur. He is somebody that when he put

163
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: on the film there's there's a lot of good quarterback

164
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: play from him over the course of his college career.

165
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: There are still things that they need to see him quicker.

166
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: And the reason that I said, and it's you know,

167
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: it's absolutely I'm getting destroyed on Instagram for a clip

168
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: that Yahoo put up where it's like, hey, I think

169
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna lose lose situation. And the reason

170
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: I said that last night was if he sucked and

171
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: then everybody was gonna pile on and if he was great.

172
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it changes their depth chart. And that's

173
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: the hardest part about all this. Browns fans now want

174
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: to annoy him and it's like, oh, this is the guy. Well,

175
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: he only started because Dylan Gabriel has a hamstring injury.

176
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett has a hamstring injury. So they're keeping Joe

177
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: Flacco under bubble in bubble wrap so that they don't

178
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: lose their starting quarterback. Like I think it's very fair

179
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: to say that Shador went out played really well last night,

180
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: which is, by the way, what I'm rooting for. I

181
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: also think that he's not going to be the starter

182
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: week one, so that's the tough.

183
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: By the way, wait, wait, ry the way, why would

184
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: you want him to start week one? You know he's

185
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: not ready to start week one? Why would you want that?

186
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: Why is that a slight? There's no way in hell

187
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: I would start in week one, No way, though I

188
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: would sign Joe Milton off the street, right like dtr

189
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: with that they give me a backup. You know, if

190
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Kenny picked it were hurt and uh, Gabriels in the

191
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: same boat, right, Like, I wouldn't start a rookie quarterback,

192
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: and let alone a rookie quarterback that has so much

193
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: to learn. You know. It's like I wouldn't start Kyle

194
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: McCord week one, right, Like, it's just not You're not

195
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: going to do that. He's not ready.

196
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: The other part of it is if you want, if

197
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: you're a Browns fan and you want Schador to be

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: your future Hall of Famer, I wouldn't want it to

199
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: start the first six weeks. If you look at the

200
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: brown schedule, right, you got the Bengals, then at Baltimore,

201
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: then the Packers, the Lions, the Vikings, the Steelers. In

202
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: their first six weeks, they have a gauntlet of really

203
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: well coached, great defensive teams through the portion of through

204
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: a large portion of that. I wouldn't want my rookie quarterback.

205
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't care who he is playing in that situation.

206
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeh, I'm stupid. That's stupid. That's absolutely stupid. Of course,

207
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: it's not changing the depth chart, and Kevin Stevanski is

208
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: a bright, good coach. It's ridiculous. It's not even on

209
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: the table, right, Like, I don't even know why we

210
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: would even entertain stuff like that. There's a point that

211
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: you bring guys in veteran guys Joe Flacco and Kenny

212
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: Pickett are here for a reason. They're here to buy

213
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: time before you could play the kids. That's it. That's

214
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter.

215
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think any of that means, you know,

216
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: because I heard somebody late last night on a radio

217
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: was actually they were talking about the fact that, oh man, well,

218
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, the Browns are being stupid and they're being

219
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: stubborn and all these things. No, they're not, like the

220
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Browns have a very So Kevin Stefanski is a smart

221
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: football coach. You can't be the Coach of the Year

222
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: twice and not be a smart football coach at some levels.

223
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: So in my mind this is simple. The organization is

224
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: looking at themselves and they're saying, what gives us the

225
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: best chance to win now and in the future. And

226
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: it is fully possible, It is truly real that Shador

227
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: Sanders could not throw another incompletion the entire postseason and

228
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: their preseason. And the answer organizationally can be, Hey, we

229
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: think today Flacco gives us a better chance to win,

230
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do the best we can to win

231
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: what we have now while we develop Shador or Dylan

232
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Gabriel or any of them. And when Shador or Dylan

233
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Gabriel is ready, he will play like we want this

234
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: microwaved answer that just is popped in front of everybody.

235
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: But y'all, it's not a video game. And I don't

236
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: believe that the Browns are sitting here smart coaches are

237
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: sitting here committing you know, malpractice to their entire fan

238
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: base and the entire organization in Miles Garrett and everybody

239
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: else by simply playing somebody not named Sanders because they

240
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: want to be stubborn about where he was drafted, Like

241
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: these things just aren't real.

242
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: That's where I can't even entertain that stuff. I'll be

243
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: honest with there, because it's so far from reality. And

244
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: what the what the sport is like, you would never want.

245
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: This draft class is very raw. Like it's a raw class.

246
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: It's a class that you got. You can't be throwing

247
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: guys in to start right away. It's tough, I mean can't.

248
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 2: Ward's one thing right because number one overall pick, I'm

249
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: a unless you're a really like polished quarterback coming out

250
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: of college. I think it's always best for you to sit.

251
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I know that there's this. You know,

252
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: some guys need reps and some guys I think at

253
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: some point you just got to You've got to look

254
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: at your guy and say what serves that guy the best?

255
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Like this year particularly, I wish the Titans had a

256
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: better quarterback situation. Oh that Cam Wore can have a

257
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: little bit of time to develop, because I think the

258
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna suck, you know, And that's at the core,

259
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: I believe most of the time, Like Trevor Lawrence was

260
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be a can't miss prospect right well, now

261
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: everybody's sitting here saying did they pay the right guy?

262
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: Like is he really that guy? All of these questions

263
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: are being raised. I honestly think that has as much

264
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: to do with the malpractice of the way that the

265
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Jags have handled the quarterback position as it does with

266
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: absolutely anything else. So there is some level to me

267
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: where Jackson Dart being put on the field simply because

268
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Brian Dable is worried about getting fired doesn't feel like

269
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: a great situation for Jackson Dart in my mind, Like

270
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: we have to look at these things. Unfortunately, as fans,

271
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: we just because we're so desperate to see wins this season,

272
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: we don't really care about what it means long term.

273
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: And everybody wants everybody wants the Jayden Daniels or CJ.

274
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: Stroud that you come in and your rookie year is

275
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: just absolutely dynamic and incredible. I will just remind people

276
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: a month into the season last year, there were talking

277
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: head saying Jade Daniels never pushes the ball down the

278
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: field and this is too safe an offense, and blah

279
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Like even when he was on

280
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: the field, there was still a progression and a process

281
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: that very smartly Washington put him through to make him

282
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: a better starter by the end of the year, like

283
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: these things are allowed.

284
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: To make and he's and he's an anomaly one hundred percent.

285
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: Jane Dam's anominally because Jane Dams could make every throw.

286
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels came from that offense, right, comes from LSU,

287
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: saw everything pro style, right, I mean, he was prepared.

288
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: He was a kid that's prepared to start. And even

289
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: then I would have had pause, right, I mean I

290
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: would have started, but I would have had pause go

291
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: you know, and listen. It's all about reps in practice.

292
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: It's what it is. Man. It's such it's such a

293
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: simple thing. We make so much out of this stuff.

294
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's almost like there's two worlds. There's the

295
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: fan football world, right like that we're all part of.

296
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: And then there's the real football world, where it's coaches, players, gms, right,

297
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: and it's the real team aspect where it's not about fantasy,

298
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: it's about numbers, not about you know, Parlay's, it's it's

299
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: it's the real sport and we live in these We

300
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: straddle these two worlds, going back and forth.

301
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: The There was a basketball player recently, an NBA player,

302
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: don't remember which one. They said on the podcast. The

303
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: hardest part of playing in the NBA is everybody has

304
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: played just enough, you know whatever, church league basketball or

305
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: rec league basketball to think that they know enough about

306
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: the sport to.

307
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: Play in the NBA.

308
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: And I think there's some truth to part of that.

309
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: There really is. What you have now is everybody's played

310
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: enough Madden to come in and feel like I got

311
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: it figured out. And the more you talk to I mean,

312
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Patrick last night on Twitter was for everyone that's

313
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: blaming Anthony Richardson. He literally opened up his app for Freeze, like,

314
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you three plays and see if

315
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: you can dissect what it means to be a quarterback

316
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: and make these decisions in a fraction of a second.

317
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: I think some of us in general, just as a

318
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: watching public, everybody just sits back and simplifies. And the

319
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: great example of that for me, one of my first

320
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: radio shows I ever did was with Jordan Rodgers, who

321
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: you know people now knows a reality starting an SEC analyst,

322
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: but he was also the quarterback for Vandy and we

323
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: were talking about one particular play I was watching on

324
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: TV that was in the Vandy game, and it blew

325
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: my mind that the quarterback had not found a wide

326
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: open receiver that was standing four feet from him on

327
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: the left. And Jordan, who came from that offense, said, yeah,

328
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: he's literally coached not to look to the left. Everything

329
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: on his left in that offense is deep. Only runs

330
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: to the right, So it doesn't matter if Superman is

331
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: open on the left, he only runs this play to

332
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: the right. And I just sat there in the moment

333
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: and thought, man, that is a reminder that every single time,

334
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: no matter what we see, no matter how much anybody

335
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: watches the All twenty two, no matter how much Pro

336
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Football focus, you don't know what's called, Like, you don't

337
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: know what was called. You don't know the responsibility on

338
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: the play, you don't know what the guy is being

339
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: coached to literally do. And when you have to accept

340
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: those answers, suddenly the very clear this is what should

341
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: be done, this is how it should be done. Answered

342
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: like that sort of it leaves.

343
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: You, well, that's why we leave in that world, right, Yeah,

344
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: the two worlds, because the other world you don't you have,

345
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: you're not you're not privy to so it's impossible to

346
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: kind of and you know better than anybody, FITZI go

347
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: to practice, right, see the real work that go that

348
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: happens in practice. I mean you get an idea, especially

349
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: when they do all these joint practices like you kind

350
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: of you kind of get all this idea where the

351
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 2: coach's head.

352
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: Is, I mean the minutia. The first time I was

353
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: out of Titans practice and I was on airon Nashville

354
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: and I ripped Taylor Luwan after a game where he

355
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: gave up a bunch of sacks and he literally called

356
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: me and was like, I want to explain drop back

357
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: depth to you because I think this will help you.

358
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: And like he literally sat there and explained the way

359
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: that they were being coached to push an edge rusher

360
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: to a particular spot on the field and the problem

361
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: in that game. Honestly, I even talked to coaches about

362
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: it at the time. The problem with that game that

363
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: we all thought was Taylor Lawan giving up a bunch

364
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: of sacks, was Taylor Lawan was pushing that edge rusher

365
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: right to where the quarterback was going to because the

366
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: quarterback was dropping back, not getting rid of the ball,

367
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: and standing in a spot he wasn't supposed to be in.

368
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: And that's why, like you just I don't want to

369
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: make it like it's just ninety nine percent of us

370
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't know, and so we're doing

371
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: our best to figure it out. But you're right, we

372
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: do live in two worlds. There's no doubt about that.

373
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: And that's where the hey shittur needs to start Week one. Like, no,

374
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: that's not going to happen, and that's not in the

375
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: real world. That's in all our fantasy world, right, but

376
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: not in the real world. All Right, lots to get

00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: you know it's Fox Sports Radio. So it's great. Is

396
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: you were like, you know, I'm really into this preseason

397
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: and I think that's a shared thing, Like I feel

398
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 2: the same exact way. What do you think the reason is?

399
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: Why has it gotten even bigger? Like are we now

400
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: to the point where we are so addicted to it?

401
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: We love this game so much that all of us

402
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: are shared liked minds right as football fans, and we've

403
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: all made the determination that you know what, preseason is good?

404
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: We're into it, yes, because at the end of the day,

405
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: the NFL is like a bad relationship, Like we are

406
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: at that spot, like what happens by the time we

407
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: get to the beginning of the next season. We've decided,

408
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: like the crazy ex girlfriend that everything's gonna be fine

409
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: that you know, know she wasn't crazy, Everything's beautiful, Like

410
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: I actually really had a good time, and like, you know,

411
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: maybe I was wrong about that the entire way. Like

412
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: we forget how awful teams were last year, and I

413
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: do mean awful. Like last year, there were twelve teams

414
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: in the NFL that lost double digit games. Think about that,

415
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: Like that is a third of the league. It's over

416
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: a third of the league. Quick math. That sucked so

417
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: much that they lost double digit games, And we don't

418
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: even think about that. We're not sitting here throwing our

419
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: hands up in the air like Kermit the Frog running

420
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: around a room during a fire drill trying to figure

421
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: out what's wrong with the NFL the way we do

422
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: with Major League Baseball. When team sucks, we weren't. We're

423
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: not sitting there saying, oh my god, why are like

424
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: think about it. When a baseball team is bad for

425
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: three or four years in a row, it becomes a

426
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: wild conversation about whether they even want to win, whether

427
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: the sport is broken, why profit sharing doesn't work because

428
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: this team is that bad. And then I look around,

429
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, well, when's the last time that my

430
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: beloved Raiders were consistently good? When's the last time the

431
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: Browns were consistently good? Like the Jets suck all the time?

432
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: Like these teams that are bad are bad year in

433
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: and year out. Like and I'm not sure that there's

434
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: a real reason to believe that the New Orleans Saints

435
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: are gonna win more than two or three games this year.

436
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter, Like we are obsessed with the

437
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: sports so much that we forgive how bad some of

438
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: these teams are.

439
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but isn't that all part of it? Like here's

440
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: the thing they we critique. The reason why we say

441
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: that about MLB, it's because you got the Pirates, and

442
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: you got teams that don't spend the Marlins. They won't

443
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: spend any money, right, And there's such a huge, wide

444
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: disparity between the and have nots. The NFL is on

445
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: an equal playing field. Right. If the Jets suck, it's

446
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: because they have just gotten it wrong and wrong and

447
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: wrong in the front office. It's not because the league's

448
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: rules are stacked against it, because they're cursed by being

449
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: in New York. Right that the Pirates are in Pittsburgh.

450
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: They they can't exist. The get on the NBA because

451
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: the NBA is all threes, right, it's all one way

452
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: and nobody plays in a regular season. Well, in the NFL,

453
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: everybody plays. Everybody wants to win. And it's interesting. Now

454
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: again it's only six seventeen games, but that's the landscape

455
00:24:59,240 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: of the league.

456
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be a let's say, alien that lands

457
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. I've just landed on Earth and I'm

458
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: discovering Foo to our planet. Yeah, thank you, thank you

459
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: so much. And I'm saying this as the biggest football

460
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: nerd in the world. Like I do what I do

461
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: because of my love of football. I'm going to be

462
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: an alien and I look around and I'm like, okay,

463
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: so this sport over here, they have one team that

464
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: wins the title basically for ten years in a row, constantly,

465
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: every every decade, they have one team that dominates the decade.

466
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: So okay, and they have a bunch of teams that

467
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: are really bad all the time. I'm describing the NFL there.

468
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: It's just we love the sports so damn much we

469
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: forgive some of the warts. Like I'm telling you, the

470
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: NFL is the crazy girl in all of our lives,

471
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: and so we will forgive so much because we just

472
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: like dating crazy. Like we believe because your point is

473
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: such a valid one that everybody's on an equal playing field.

474
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: And we talk about parody all the time, but parody

475
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: really only exists in the form of you can go

476
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: from the sea a suck to the you know, land

477
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: of mediocrity. Like this generation is being dominated mostly by

478
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: at this point that the Chiefs are dominating the AFC,

479
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: the way that the the Patriots dominated the generation before them,

480
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: the way that you know, whatever the Cowboys did before that,

481
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: and the forty nine Ers did before that, and the

482
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: Steelers did before that. Like it's the most dynastic sport

483
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: out there, but we like everybody in the middle, Like

484
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: you can go from lower class to middle class to

485
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: feel like you have a shot all the time, and

486
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: that's what we buy into. Like Browns fans are hyped

487
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: for Shadur because they won three games last year and

488
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: right now, you can't tell a Browns fan that after

489
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: what they saw last night that they're not going to

490
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right But how many of those teams actually

491
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: have a legitimate shot at a real super Bowl, Like

492
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: not not just like, hey, we got in the playoffs

493
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: and that's cute, but like a real legitimate shot. I

494
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: don't know, but we're so infatuated and I think it

495
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: all comes down to the limited inventory of games still

496
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: makes this feel so special. It doesn't matter if it's preseason.

497
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: You only get twenty times to watch your favorite team

498
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: suit up all year. You are going to flock to that,

499
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: no matter what's the smartest thing the NFL has done,

500
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Like we are so starved for a taste of whatever

501
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: they'll give us. That we are all in. We have

502
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: completely bought in. And I say that as somebody that

503
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: is in here watching these preseason games because they are

504
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: hitting different.

505
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: For me, this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I

506
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: agree with you with the limited inventory. Every game is

507
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: the event because of that. But the nature of the

508
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: sport is you can only play x amount of games period, right,

509
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: and the game itself, which is a beautiful game four quarters,

510
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: like it's an event, you know you could play it

511
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: cracks me up. Now. I think the pitch clock works,

512
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: but you know baseball and basketball, it's like, hey, can

513
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: we get in in two another two and a half hours?

514
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: Where it used to always drive me nuts when I

515
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: hear people talk about, well, the NFL timeslot is three hours,

516
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: like it's a freaking show. I don't care how long

517
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: the game takes, right, it's supposed to be an event.

518
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: It's my event for the for the week, So don't

519
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: put a timestamp, no time limit on it, you know,

520
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 2: like how long it takes, it takes, Which is why

521
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: the one rule I've hated over the years was all

522
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: the clock. How the clock keeps running now? When it

523
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: used to not run out of bounds, like every time

524
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: he went out of bounds, the clock would stop. Now

525
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: that changed inside the last five minutes. And you don't

526
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: you don't like that? No, I hate it. It robs

527
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: me it plays.

528
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: That's fair, like it is You're It's wild to me

529
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: because everything you're saying is so true. Like I have

530
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: never sat there watching a Raiders game and looked at

531
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: my clock and thought, man, this one's taken three hours

532
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: and fifteen minutes. I am out on this. This is boring.

533
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: You are a thousand percent right. I also am that

534
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: guy that goes. I go to minor league games all

535
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: the time in Connecticut, and every time I'm in the

536
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: ballpark I'm like, God, I love the pitch clock so much.

537
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: It is so it is so fun and easy to

538
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: go to a minor league baseball game and be in

539
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: and out, like I can park, see the whole game

540
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: and be back at my car in like two hours.

541
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: It's it's wild how fast these things a move now,

542
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: you know. But I'll admit my own hypocrisy with that,

543
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: because you know, at the end of the day, I'm

544
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: turning a baseball game into essentially a Marvel movie, like

545
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: am I and right, including previews in under two and

546
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: a half hours. All right, I'll spend twenty bucks on that.

547
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's a good thing, brother, Like I'm

548
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: not sure, Like, because you are right there is something

549
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: sacred to what it means for most of us as

550
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: fans to just sit down and get to watch something

551
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: we love to watch. And that's the biggest part that

552
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: I think if you're a non sports fan, you're probably

553
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: not listening to this show. But I think nonsports fans

554
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: don't always understand that it's not just ooh, I sit

555
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: down and watch, you know, college football on Saturdays. It's

556
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: I sit down and enjoy this entire experience. Like I

557
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: love the shots of like sweaty fat people in the

558
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: crowd that are just like miserable at the end, Like

559
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: I love Surrender Cobra, I love the marching bands, and

560
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: I love every ounce of like the entire like the

561
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: presentation of it. It just takes you away from the

562
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: world and for a few hours, I'm not thinking about anything.

563
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about anybody listen. I don't

564
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: have to listen to anybody worry about everything. I don't

565
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: have to open social media and have people yell at

566
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: me about things that I don't really care about. I

567
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: just sit there and I watch a random New Mexico

568
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: State versus whatever Delaware football game, and I'm like, this

569
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: feels good, you know, so, like I think there is

570
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: something too that magic that is just absolutely beautiful. And

571
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: even in the preseason for whatever, maybe going from four

572
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: games to three games is made even the preseason feel

573
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: more significant. I don't know, because I do feel like

574
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: it's been more talked about, there's more tension to pay

575
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: to it, and I've heard less complaining about it along

576
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: the way this year.

577
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that works. I think it will be

578
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: even better when they get ready of the third one. Yeah,

579
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: now you'll have two and boom boom, we're on to

580
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: the season. But to your point of escape and watching

581
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: something that you enjoy and be immersed into something, yeah,

582
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: you know, you can't devote all that time to something

583
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: and not be a fanatic. Like, here's the truth of

584
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: the matter. We all don't watch regular season games in

585
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: every other sport. Now, we may pick and choose and

586
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: watch our local team, right, but it's not a collective

587
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: watch like it into the NFL. We all watch Sunday

588
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: night football, we all most of us wats Thursday night.

589
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: We all watch Monday night right, Like we're all in

590
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: together that game of the week on Fox or CBS

591
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: at four twenty five. We're all watching. It's a communal

592
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: watch around the country, and so we do it every

593
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: week and then when it's over, it's withdrawal. It really

594
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: is a withdrawal because you can't devote that much time

595
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: to something between the end of August and February and

596
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: not be addicted to it.

597
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: It's interesting when you mentioned the communal portion of it,

598
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: because I was sitting in the car the other day

599
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: with some friends and the conversation was, what are you watching?

600
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: And everybody was suggesting shows they're binging, and I realized

601
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: in that moment that everybody jokes about this all the time,

602
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: but truly every person in the car had a different

603
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: show that I had never heard of that they were binging,

604
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: and the conversation became, there's just too many shows to

605
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: keep track of. It's impossible to find all of this stuff.

606
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: And you and I have talked before about the fact

607
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: that water cooler moments are tougher and tougher in modern society,

608
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: so like, you know, people aren't coming in the way

609
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: they did when I was a kid, and it's like,

610
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, did you see friends last night? Like

611
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: that's not a thing anymore because of the way TV

612
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: is consumed. Maybe the one thing left that is truly

613
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: that is thel Like you're watching that game right then.

614
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: It's the reason that there's so much ad revenue. It's

615
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: the reason that they pay so much for the digital

616
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: rights for live sports. But as you talk about it,

617
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, like, the last thing left that

618
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: truly does seem to just control the collective consciousness of

619
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: conversation is the NFL game from yesterday on Fox. You know,

620
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: the NFL game from yesterday on Sunday night football, Like

621
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: that is the thing that everybody sits down and says,

622
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, did you see the end.

623
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: Of the Raiders last night?

624
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Like that is the one thing left where we're not

625
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: grasping at straws at random streaming services trying to figure

626
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: out who's actually watching.

627
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: And we're all watching it. Yeah, let's say quick to

628
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,919

Speaker 2: Fellas Jason Fitz Anthony gargantto, we're talking about the grip

638
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: the hold of the NFL, and it really stems from

639
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 2: what FITZI said start the show that he is really

640
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: been into this preseason so far, like like and the

641
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 2: way you said it, it was like you were in

642
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: my brain. And I noticed over the last two days

643
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: really going back to the Hall of Fame game talking

644
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: to other people, and there's always and you know, the

645
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 2: you know, the mentality most people go, oh, you're gonna

646
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: watch preseason fun pop wake me when they see and

647
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: you know, there's always a you gotta be sarcastic. There's

648
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: been less of that and more people are like, hey,

649
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: this has been fun, Like this is a good preseason,

650
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: and we're all a part of the consciousness and we're

651
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: all having a similar kind of revelation about preseason together.

652
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: There is a when you think about just what everybody's

653
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: talking about last night, there was almost an inevitability the

654
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: minute that Shador started hot. It was like, yep, we

655
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: all know what the big conversation is going to be.

656
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: And that's crazy to me from a random like if

657
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: I was replacing the headline this is a little long

658
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: for a newspaper headline. But fifth round quarterback plays for

659
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: bad football team unexpectedly and has a really good game.

660
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: Like there's our headline right right right. You know there

661
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: is some element of Okay, it was preseason, but you

662
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: knew immediately the people were just flocking to it, like

663
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: it felt like social media was paying attention. We were

664
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: all paying like to preseason football, and that's just preseason.

665
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: Like when we actually hit week one and you and

666
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: I know this, we've been doing this show together for

667
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: a couple of years. At this point, like when you

668
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: hit week one and you open the season with Cowboys

669
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: at Eagles on Thursday night football, like that moment is

670
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: going to take over all of the conversation that everybody's

671
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: having about not just about sports, Like the number of

672
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: people that don't even like football, they're gonna say, oh

673
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: my god, football's already back, Like they'll know that because

674
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: so many people are talking about a random Thursday night

675
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: football game. And that's just that's so tough to do.

676
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: I keep going back to friends. Like I remember when

677
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: I was in high school, there was like this moment

678
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: of my god, friends was out, and of course every

679
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: person watched it because you had to be able to

680
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: talk about it Friday at school. Like this is pre

681
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: internet kids, so you know it was. It was in

682
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: the consciousness. Like Thursday night NBCTV was everything for people

683
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: growing up because they had these hit shows and Friday

684
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: when you went to school, it was all, oh my god,

685
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: did you see Cheers last night? Like that was a

686
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: real way that the society. Society worked, and that is

687
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: how things feel on Monday in this country. All fall

688
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: a Monday, it's oh my god, did you see the

689
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: Packers game? Like that's there's something to this that is

690
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: just collective consciousness.

691
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love this conversation. I'm fascinated by it. It

692
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: happened in the early two thousands. The last time I

693
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: think it happened to non sports was that HBO thing, right,

694
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: I think you had sopranos, Like that was a big deal,

695
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: Like we talked about that. I remember talking about on

696
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 2: the radio and people like loving it and then break

697
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: it bad we did, and then that was it. Right

698
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: then it kind of just splintered out and it's not

699
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: like with any other sport. Do you realize did you

700
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: see the numbers for the Hall of Fame Game the ratings? No?

701
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: I did not, and I have to imagine they were.

702
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 2: Mass Okay, so they were six point nine. I mean

703
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 2: it was something like that. But here's what I do know,

704
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: because I forget the exact number. The Hall of Fame

705
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: Game three million more people than in the NBA Finals game.

706
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

707
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: And I love the NBA, right, So this isn't a

708
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: I love the NBA, and I thought the finals were great, right,

709
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: I enjoyed them. I I mentally enjoyed the finals. The

710
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: whole of Fame game out drew the NBA Finals, like

711
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: double them. Basically.

712
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: That's that's insane, dude, And you're right, Like, it's funny

713
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Sopranos because I think about that all

714
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: the time. And it was recently that Netflix came out

715
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: and realized that they were going to start dropping certain

716
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 1: series week by week because they found that you get

717
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: more viewers when you build more suspense that way. And

718
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: I keep thinking everything that is old is new again, right,

719
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: Like they're gonna end up with an app that consolidates

720
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: all the ways we watch things. Then we'll call it cable.

721
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: But you're right, like these phenomenons that exist in the

722
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game to outdraw the NBA like that,

723
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: It's just that's not a statement against the NBA in

724
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: the modern society. I think that's a statement for the NFL.

725
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: It is.

726
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. We're gonna take quick TiO. We'll come back.

727
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: Football Day fellas'ten Fox Sports Radio Radio. Well, good morning,

728
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, a happy

729
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: happy Fox Sports Saturday Fellas, Jason Fitz, Anthony Argano hanging

730
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: out together again after a long summer. Football's back. We're

731
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: back last night. Let's get to this portion of it

732
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: because last night we saw Chador have a wonderful, wonderful performance.

733
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 2: We saw Drake May play well. We saw the Patriots

734
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: unveil a twelve foot Tom Brady statue. We've seen uh,

735
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: I g it's five games now and or six games now,

736
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: and we all can't get enough of it. It's preseason

737
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: and I've heard less and less and less of a preseason.

738
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 1: It sucks.

739
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: I haven't heard it. Fancy like it. Just admit we

740
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 2: like it, all right, we like preseason football.

741
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: My brother we even had a preseason football tie and

742
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: people weren't freaking out about it. We're like, oh no,

743
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: probably in the preseason game. Like I'm all in on this,

744
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: Like I'm all in on on the joy of getting

745
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: to watch a little football without the angst of whether

746
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: or not your team wins or loses. You're watching young

747
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: guys come in. You're hoping that you can see some

748
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: guys get in and make some contributions. Like yeah, no,

749
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: there's a spark, there's an energy. It's electric. It feels

750
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: like this is about to be the wildest opening to

751
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: a football season we've ever had, because it just it

752
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: feels like we are rabid dogs waiting to be let

753
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: out of our cage.

754
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: That's exactly it, exactly it. And we are two weeks

755
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: away from week zero. We are two saturdays away from

756
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 2: Iowa State and Kansas State noon. That's right, Saturday, August

757
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 2: twenty third.

758
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: Golly, And that is why why am I sitting there saying,

759
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna sit there and watch every

760
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: second of that game like that is just.

761
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm circling that game.

762
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: I mean, Iowa State Kansas State is the love we

763
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: didn't know we needed. Apparently, like that is a that's

764
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 1: the antithesis of what the NFL does. The NFL gives

765
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: US Cowboys at Eagles on a Thursday night to collect

766
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: the entire country's eyeballs and say you must watch this.

767
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: College football eases into it. I mean they're giving us

768
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: Texas Ohio State. We've never had a one v two

769
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: to start the season in week one. Yeah, zero.

770
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: I can't complain about that. Yeah, I can't complain about that.

771
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: But you're right. I'm looking at the schedule right now

772
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: and Thursday, August twenty eighth, when I watch Ohio at Rutgers, yeah,

773
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: I will. Like that's just I'm like Ohio Rutgers.

774
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 2: Yep.

775
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: If that's what I'm getting, I'm taken.

776
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: You know what's great about it is college. When college starts,

777
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 2: it's another level of real because the games count, right,

778
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: So the way we ease in if you're a football fan,

779
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: and I hate uh delineating from NFL to college because

780
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 2: to me, if you're a football fan, you're watching, you're

781
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: in all right, you gotta watch. You gotta like both sports.

782
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: I know you can like one more than the other,

783
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: but you can't just not like college football. Right, if

784
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 2: you're an NFL fan, especially these draft people, how could

785
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 2: you call yourself a draft person and not watch college football? Right,

786
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: Like you gotta be in. It's a celebration of the

787
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: sport we love and it happens in two different ways

788
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 2: and they're both great. And so we start off with

789
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 2: preseason NFL and then we go to college and the

790
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: game matters, right, the game Colts. She go all right, yeah,

791
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: how I mean, And then you got an NFL start

792
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: like it's you know, the next the next few I

793
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: love August, like the back half August, when you it's

794
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: like the beginning of the of the journey, right, it's

795
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: back in the car, ready to take the long drive.

796
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: That's so well said. It's there is something electric to

797
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: that time when it's still a little too warm to

798
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: call it fall for most of the country, and you're

799
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: still sort of roasting, and you know, everybody in those

800
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: stadiums are just sweating there, you know what's off. Yes, yes,

801
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: it's like it's kind of uncomfortable. And they're talking about

802
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: the heat advantage that certain markets have, like this is

803
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of football season, and it feels perfect, like

804
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: there is an easing into you know, like just the

805
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: way the air smells is different coming into September. It's

806
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: all everything just hits differently, and you're a thousand percent right,

807
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: Like I can that lsu Clemsing game, which is you know, sorry,

808
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: I think the marquee matchup of the first big weekend

809
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: on that Saturday night, that lsu Clemsing game. It's just

810
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: everything will feel different when we hit that kickoff. That's

811
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: when you're like, yep, now before you will blink and

812
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: we will be at the college football playoff, Like this

813
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: is the inevitability. But it just feels like there's a

814
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: cultural shift in life, like suddenly, in two weeks you

815
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: will not again for the rest of the year have

816
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: to ask yourself what's on TV most of the time.

817
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: You won't have to ask yourself what you're watching or

818
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: doing on the weekend most of the time. Like it

819
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: is just it is wild how much space it takes

820
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: up in all of our lives in a perfect beautiful

821
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 1: way every single year. And you're right that it will.

822
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna be sitting in front of a TV

823
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: on Saturday August thirtieth watching Syracuse at tennis See and

824
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to be enamored to be doing it, and

825
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: I know exactly like what that game will look like

826
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: and feel like. Just because it's in August and it's college.

827
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 2: Football, Well, you won't be watching that game.

828
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: I won't be watching Why want to watch Syracuse.

829
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: To be watching, You'll be watching Texas Ohio State.

830
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean Texas Ohio States. Yeah, we'll probably go with

831
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: that one.

832
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: And I guess all due respect, because you're right, Syracuse

833
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: Tennessee is a good like I'm in if it wasn't

834
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: Texas Ohio State, Texas Ohio State is I'm not clicking

835
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: right like, I'm just watching this game. This game is

836
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 2: going to be incredible. First of all, who's starting for

837
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 2: the buck Eyes at quarterback? Right?

838
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean? And what offense are they really running?

839
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: And what? Like?

840
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: Ohio State has so many stinking questions, You're right, like

841
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: quarterback is one of what fields.

842
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 2: Saying question justin saying, and the other killer going to

843
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: head to head. I heard the list this week that

844
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 2: I mean, they're kind of running even I thought it

845
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: was gonna be justin saying and uh with the other

846
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: kids play really well?

847
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is. It's funny. By the way justin

848
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: saying is going to be just or Julian Sane, it's

849
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a minute for me to get used

850
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: to saying as a last name, Like they're ripped doubt

851
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: about it, but you know it's it's funny because even

852
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: talking to I talked to Jeremiah Smith for an interview,

853
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: what a week and a half ago I think it was,

854
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,959
Speaker 1: and just how different it is this year that they're

855
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: catching balls from a lot of different guys, Like that

856
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: is so different than what it was last year with

857
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: Will Howard and what it was last year, you know,

858
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly, and you know they've they've lost their

859
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Also, like it's it is interesting to me

860
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: because we anticipated a drop off from Michigan after they

861
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: won the national championship two year to last year, we

862
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: anticipated that drop off. No one is anticipating drop off

863
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: for Ohio State. And I think it's a little I

864
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: don't know, flippant to I will compare this sort of

865
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: harshly to what we've seen in college basketball. If you're

866
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: ever if you cover any college basketball, early on the

867
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: concept of one and done was great. It was like, oh,

868
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: we need one and done, so and then you started

869
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: to see that, hey, that doesn't always work. You can't

870
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: always replace a bunch of people and have it work

871
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: out well. I can make I think a pretty easy yeah,

872
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the quarterback head coaching combo

873
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: for most of the teams in the top ten this year, like,

874
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: there's just I can't tell anyone right now with any

875
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: confidence that the quarterback situation, the offensive situation is going

876
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: to be just fine for Ohio State. We're basing that

877
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: on what on recruiting rankings, Like I would like to

878
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: see a little of it on the field before we

879
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: actually presume that it's just going to be fine. Yeah.

880
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to your point, I mean, that's what happens.

881
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: You know, first couple of weeks, you're just dissecting and

882
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: sick and you don't know which is the beauty of

883
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 2: college football and basketball which is you really don't know,

884
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 2: you know. And it's funny like when you see a

885
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: team that I forget who was ranked top three last

886
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: year in college basketball, and there was like this thing

887
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,479
Speaker 2: in my back of my mind where I was like, wait,

888
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: they got to be good. They were top three, you know,

889
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: they were ranked in the top They're racked two wherever

890
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: it was, and they just weren't good. I had to

891
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 2: come to Grips with the idea that this is they

892
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: weren't They just weren't good. They were miscast as the

893
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: second ranked team in the country. So you know, I

894
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: look at a high state and I go, all right, now,

895
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: you heard a lot about Julian saying right, like we've

896
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: heard a lot about it. Kind Holtz apparently has been

897
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 2: really good in camp. I think there's this idea that

898
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: we're expecting a more seamless transition, but like to your point,

899
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 2: until you're starting and you're who knows, right, But between

900
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State and then he got arch and the Texas thing,

901
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 2: it's just you know, that's just big, massive, right arch

902
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: And it was already everybody's saying it, uh you know,

903
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: pop up Archie said it that he's not coming out

904
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 2: like he's gonna be there for two years, Like he's

905
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: not gonna come and start for a year to go

906
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 2: to the NFL. He's gonna play for two years at Texas,

907
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 2: which I love, right. I loved him being at Texas

908
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 2: for two years, and you know he's gonna be great,

909
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: like you just know it, Like he had some growing

910
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 2: pays last year. I still thought he should have been

911
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: in the game in the playoff. But yeah, you know,

912
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: you know he's gonna be good. You know, the kid's

913
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 2: gonna be terrific.

914
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he wasn't in the playoffs

915
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: when they needed his mobility speaks to the fact that

916
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: the coaching staff had a very intentional process with him,

917
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 1: and they were they they wanted to see from him.

918
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: That's why I guess I've kind of always bought into

919
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: it makes sense. And I've heard, you know, this morning,

920
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: we've been running some colleague how heard highlights where Colin

921
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: talks about, you know, the Mannings are good business people,

922
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: and this is all part of that. I don't know

923
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: that I can feel comfortable saying that with any confidence,

924
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: Like I think there's a very real path to we're

925
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: anointing arch as the second coming. Well, what if he's

926
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: just really good this year and actually needs a second

927
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: year starting in college football where he is the guy?

928
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Like what if there's a slip up here and he

929
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: just needs a little more time. Like if you are

930
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: a Saints fan and you're presuming that the best solution

931
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: for you is just to suck this year so that

932
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: you can go get arch you better be prepared for

933
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: the fact that, like I'm not sure that we know

934
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: Arches even despite the conspiracy, as you pointed out, Archie

935
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: made it clear he's coming back. I think there's something

936
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: real to that. So this is this is wild to

937
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: me that we just again we're just propping arch up

938
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: as well, you know what, the last name, the ability,

939
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: the little flashes of it. He's going to be the

940
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: Heisman winner on the best team in the country. And

941
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: I that's that's say to buy. Yeah, I'm a very

942
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: well see this year on college football. I think there's

943
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more chaos. I'm very will see.

944
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're an agent of chaos. That is fact.

945
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 2: That is fact this year, and I think we need

946
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 2: to do this. I think we need to go team

947
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 2: by team a little. Let's take a look at you

948
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: remember the uh the game we played last year where

949
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 2: we drafted programs. Oh yeah, yeah, we should bring that back.

950
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 2: But I want to kind of go through with you

951
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 2: the really the top twenty five and at least a

952
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: fun end and it is I mean it's like every

953
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: year you go in, but it's more wide open than

954
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: it used to be. But before it was Alabama, Georgia,

955
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: and then maybe there was another two team or two.

956
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: Now I think there's a legitimate like you got probably

957
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 2: six to eight teams that are legitimate title contenders. Would

958
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: you a great Yeah?

959
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent, one hundred percent, especially because I

960
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: think you can easily stack in question marks because you

961
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: know me, like I look at coaching quarterbacks like maybe

962
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: like let's say an eighties tag team, you know in WWE,

963
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: so like you gotta have the coach and the quarterback together.

964
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: That make me comfortable. So I look at Texas and

965
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: I think, well, I haven't seen anything from arts as

966
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: much as I want to see it. I look at

967
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: Ohio State, I don't really understand what they're doing at

968
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, Like we don't know yet, Like we

969
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: don't know what that's going to look like. I'm not

970
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: sure that we can have a ton of confidence in

971
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: what Georgia has at the quarterback position yet, Like I

972
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: love the concept of it, but we'll see Notre Dame

973
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: new quarterback. This is the theme Oregon basically a new roster,

974
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: Alabama a new quarterback like Miami and new quarterback. So

975
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: what am I I'm looking at all and Penn State

976
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: and maybe LSU and Garrett Usmeier is like, yeah, two

977
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: teams that have like the rest of them, I could

978
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: see total chaos, just absolutely moving any of those teams

979
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: up or down the list. And that's where you know

980
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: when you start talking about how many teams have a

981
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: chance at the Natty, especially in a playoff concept that

982
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: we have now, my god, Like, can Illinois do the

983
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: impossible and find themselves to a national championship? I don't

984
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: think so, But will they be in the conversation, Yeah,

985
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: they very well.

986
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's play the game, right, I'll go lock

987
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 2: contender or you know, lock maybe no, all right, So

988
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: Texas lock, Hive State lock, Penn State lock, Georgia lock,

989
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 2: Notre Dame lock, Clemson lock. Yeah, I think Clem's gonna

990
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 2: be good. Oregon lock, Alabama lock.

991
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: Or maybe maybe. I don't think anything's a lock with

992
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn de boor I just I think there's a better

993
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: chance at Alabama loses three games and everybody's losing their minds.

994
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: Then Alabama loses one game and finds themselves in the

995
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: College Football Playoff. To me, so yeah, I think it's

996
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: about to get really hairy for the for the for

997
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: the Rolling Tide.

998
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 2: L s U. I think they're legitimate.

999
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: I think they're a lock. I think Ellis. I think

1000
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: we're sleeping on LUG and Clemson. By the way, you

1001
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: mentioned Clemson is a lock earlier. I'm leaning right now

1002
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: is like Clemson. If I had to, if I had

1003
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: to bet my house on one, I might be Clemson.

1004
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: So like Clemson and l s UM, I'm I'm I'm

1005
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: all in on Shock.

1006
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 2: I am too. No two teams.

1007
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saying that about No, I agree

1008
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: with you.

1009
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 2: I'm a believer in Texas and I uh and I

1010
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: like pet State Uh Miami, No, yeah, No, their defense

1011
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 2: is not I don't I got to see them, but

1012
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 2: their defense still scares me. Arizona State, Yeah, I think.

1013
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: Their playoff team. I think they should be a playoff team. Illinois,

1014
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: they're They're in the conversation for a playoff team.

1015
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: South Carolina.

1016
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean if Sellers has the little leap

1017
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: there and then yeah, I'm comfortable taking South Carolina as

1018
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: a playoff contender, not a national championship contender, no.

1019
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 2: But could PLAYFF contender. I agree, Uh Ole Miss. I'm sorry, Michigan. Yeah,

1020
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 2: you're away, You're gonna see a quarterback.

1021
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, Michigan's gonna be like, Michigan is

1022
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: going to be much better and a disruptor.

1023
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: But I don't believe that Michigan is a playoff team

1024
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 2: this year, right. I think next year they're gonna be scary.

1025
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 2: I mean that recruiting, I got a great recruit recruiting class.

1026
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: You got the stud quarterback like they're going to be.

1027
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: They're going to be good, like really really good. It's

1028
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 2: just a matter of when. And I think you're right.

1029
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 2: I think it's next year.

1030
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: Uh, ole Miss, Yeah, I think Old Miss is a

1031
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: play Oh I don't know qu back. I know that's

1032
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: the thing that makes me nervous, Like I don't want

1033
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 1: to undersell you know how much I think it mattered

1034
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: that you had a quarterback really comfortable in Lane's offense

1035
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. So you know, I'm I mean,

1036
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: I want to believe Austin Simmons can just come in

1037
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: and take the job and just know, I don't know, No,

1038
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: I think Ole Miss will be just on the outside

1039
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: looking in angrily screaming about guaranteed automatic bids for SEC teams.

1040
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: Are you big ones? I est to media sort of yeah.

1041
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: Now I think they're the same and the outside looking.

1042
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 2: In on the playoffs Gators.

1043
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: Yes, you're in on the Gators.

1044
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Gators have a chance to be really

1045
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 2: good as a playoff contender, not a championship, but playoff contender.

1046
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 2: I think it could be really good. Again, I like

1047
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: nervous j Yeah, I like the recruit. I think, uh, defensively,

1048
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 2: they're going to be really good. I heard some good

1049
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: things about them. Uh Tennessee.

1050
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: Quarterback again makes me nervous, Like I think they downgraded

1051
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: at the position through all of the conversation around Nico

1052
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: Yama Liava. Like I do think there's a little bit

1053
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: of pressure on high Pool to make the most out.

1054
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: You's got to make chicken salad quickly with the things

1055
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: since that went down to there, Like they they stood

1056
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: on this whole, like we're gonna stand on a foundation

1057
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: at the quarterback and not overpay. And it's going to

1058
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: be a really interesting test to see how that works,

1059
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: because I honestly think it just turned into lose lose.

1060
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: I think Nico's theer situation in Tennessee's in a worse situation.

1061
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 2: Uh in the ad can step back right. Let step

1062
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 2: back right and and then any of these teams kids

1063
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 2: of State Iowa State A and M b YU, Texas

1064
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: Tech Boise.

1065
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: I think Texas A and M, if they could actually

1066
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: stay healthy and figure out how to close the end

1067
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: of games, could be a much better team than where

1068
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: they are ranked right now. I just that's a big if,

1069
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: you know. So if my mom used to always say,

1070
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: I for a frog had a glass bud, it would

1071
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: only jump once. Like I'm sort of there on Texas,

1072
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, like Texas A and M I

1073
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: should say, like the pieces are there, I just don't

1074
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: know that if I can trust them to jump twice.

1075
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I got you. All right, let's say quick too,

Speaker 1: got It coverer for the touchdown of the Panthers Core.

1098
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 2: First there is Schedor's First TV courtesy of seven hundred

1099
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: WLW Brown's Radio Network. And we've been talking all about

1100
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: the preseason and it's funny and one of our guys

1101
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 2: hit us up on X and Superstar Dad and he's

1102
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 2: like a guys, you know, come on, man, like you know,

1103
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: you like that every year, And truthfully, he's right about me,

1104
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: and probably about you. But it still feels different this year.

1105
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 2: It actually not about you because you've said it. You

1106
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 2: do not you don't take preseason overboard. I always take

1107
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 2: everything overboard, but you don't do that. It just feels

1108
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 2: different this year. There seems I'm noticing it from other

1109
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: people that are like, yeah, like like when we were

1110
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 2: at the Eagles game, right. I did the Eagles game

1111
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 2: Thursday night, and it was it was fun, like the

1112
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 2: people were, they loved it. And you know, phild Off,

1113
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 2: he's different. Obviously they come off the Super Bowl, but

1114
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: you're talking about a jaded veteran bunch, right, Like you

1115
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 2: know they're not gonna go overboard over preseason. But Tatter McKee,

1116
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 2: who's the backup, who's really really good by the way,

1117
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 2: he had a big night and it was just you know,

1118
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 2: it was Paro played right Jamar Higgins, So it was

1119
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 2: a it was a fun atmosphere. It was it was

1120
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 2: like it was just for for a preseason game, and

1121
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 2: that's qualifier for a preseason game. It was. It was

1122
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 2: a blast.

1123
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: I also, I've always been so transparent with our audience

1124
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: and everybody. Anytime anyone listens about the information that is

1125
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 1: made available to us for what we do for a living,

1126
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Like for my my job with Yahoo, like, part of

1127
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: what I have to do is create, you know, videos

1128
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: reacting to whatever's getting traction on the website. So I'll

1129
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: get a Slack message from the bosses at Yahoo and

1130
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: they'll say, Hey, this game, everybody's clicking on the article

1131
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: about this, we need a two minute video on it.

1132
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: That's that's part of my job function Yahoo. The clickthroughs

1133
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: on preseason football have been absolutely through the roof. Like, again,

1134
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: I know my Raiders fandom is the reason I was

1135
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: going to watch the Raider Seahawks game. But when you

1136
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: tuned in, when we looked at the site the next morning,

1137
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: more than any regular season baseball action, more than any

1138
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: of that, people were clicking on aggregated content about the

1139
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: Raiders Seahawks because the game ended in a tie and

1140
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: that was interesting to people. So like, at some point,

1141
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: while I understand that you know, we're all sort of

1142
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: prisoner of the moment, the data supports everything that you're saying,

1143
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: like we're there are astronomical clickthroughs for a reason on

1144
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: preseason football. People are genuinely interested. Whether it's there's always

1145
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: a storyline. This is what this is what the NFL

1146
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: does better than anybody. Like part of the reason you mentioned,

1147
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, draft experts and like why why draft guys

1148
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: don't watch college football would be asinine to be. But

1149
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: one thing that we have to understand is that by

1150
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: the time you step on the field, a fifth round

1151
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: quarterback can be a superstar by the time he steps

1152
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: on the field, because frankly, everybody obsesses over this information

1153
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: so much and we see that right, So, whether it's

1154
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 1: the story of Pete Carroll returning to Seattle, or whether

1155
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,479
Speaker 1: it's the story of Shador Standards stepping on the field,

1156
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: or if you're a Giants fan, it's going to be

1157
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:08,919
Speaker 1: how much time is Jackson Dark gonna get? And what's

1158
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: it look like cam Ward is gonna step on the field,

1159
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: And that's obviously going to be a huge deal. Like

1160
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: you just go up and down the list, the NFL

1161
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: does a great job of creating Disney movies out of

1162
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: every single opportunity. And that means that by the time

1163
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: we get to preseason, unlike spring training where most people

1164
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: have never even heard of half the guys that aren't

1165
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: going to make an MLB roster, there are going to

1166
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: be fans obsessed over a team's decision to cut somebody

1167
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: that barely even belongs in the league because these stories

1168
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: are told so well and so often leading up to it.

1169
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the storytelling great. Your analogy of a Disney

1170
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 2: movie awesome, because you're right, it's like the Lifetime. What

1171
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 2: Lifetime does for romance, right, is what the NFL does

1172
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 2: for that is the esque arc. Right, we know, the

1173
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 2: story arc of the kid out of nowhere who's got

1174
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 2: this ability overcoming something to you know whatever. Like that's

1175
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 2: the plot, and the NFL is always got They just

1176
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 2: have so much of it. It's and we all love it,

1177
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 2: and that's why we all come back. That's why to

1178
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 2: Super Dead like honestly got bush it honestly, Uh, we're

1179
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 2: genuinely people are into it. And again it'll probably die

1180
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 2: down because you know, it is a novelty. It's it's

1181
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 2: back for the first time. You know, we had the

1182
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame game and then we had two Legger games. Right,

1183
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 2: we have a triple header today. Now it's Saturday in

1184
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 2: the summer. I don't think people are gonna be you know,

1185
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 2: locked into it. You know, I get that piece of it,

1186
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 2: but this preseason. Is it's interesting too? Like sh dors Sanders,

1187
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 2: You know last night was it interesting? Drake Bay was interesting?

1188
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 2: That's all.

1189
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: Look, I don't think this is some glorious hot take

1190
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: my brothery like, think about it. In a few days,

1191
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: the Browns are going to play another game, right Their

1192
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: next preseason game is actually at Philly on the sixteenth.

1193
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: They're going to play at Philly on the sixteenth. You

1194
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: want to tell me that every set of eyeballs won't

1195
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: be up because presuming Dylan Gabriel's hamstring is better by then,

1196
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: and I hope it is, then he would get the

1197
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to play. And now it's going to be how

1198
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: did he play versus how Shador has played? If Shador

1199
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: gets back on the field and absolutely crushes it, then

1200
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: it'll be, oh my god, are they making the right decision?

1201
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: What are they doing with Kenny Pickett? And all the

1202
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: while while all this is happening. I talked to Andrew

1203
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Siciliano actually yesterday about the Browns specifically and the fact

1204
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: that Mary Kay Cabot, the reporter, had reported from practice

1205
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: that all the way up to yesterday, Joe Flacco has

1206
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: been taking the reps with the ones in practice still

1207
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: And one thing that Siciliano, who does the Browns radio broadcast,

1208
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: pointed out is that part of the reason that continued

1209
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: is because most of those ones weren't playing in the

1210
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: preseason game last night, so they wanted to keep Shador

1211
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: comfortable with who Shador is comfortable with. So that is

1212
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: just part of how it went. So I look at

1213
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: all of that and say, you want to tell me

1214
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: in a week that if Shador comes out and this

1215
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 1: time he's with more ones and it looks really good,

1216
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: that people won't start asking questions, or if it looks

1217
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: really bad, people will start like because of the outcome

1218
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: last night, no matter what happens on the sixteenth, everyone

1219
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: is going to overreact to it. This is the beauty

1220
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: of what's happening this preseason that does feel a little

1221
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: bit different. I agree with you. By the time we

1222
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: get to week three of the preseason, we'll all be

1223
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: sitting here saying, my God, just give me actual, real

1224
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: football that matters. I don't want to watch this anymore.

1225
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: But until we get to that point, I might as

1226
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: well soak in the enjoyment of what we got.

1227
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 2: Come on, well, that's it, man, that's exactly right. This

1228
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: week's gould be interesting because it's the Browns and the

1229
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: Eagles have a joint practice, so there'll be two days

1230
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 2: of joint practices between the team, seems before the game

1231
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 2: and you got and you know, that's where a lot

1232
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 2: of work gets done, is touring that joint practice. So

1233
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm curious. My guess is, you know, it'll be it'll

1234
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 2: be Flacco and for the most part, but it'll be

1235
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 2: interesting to see. Uh, I'm gonna go down there. I'm

1236
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing, uh, just your door up close.

1237
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those joint practices. You know, I wish we

1238
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: lived in a world where joint practices were the only

1239
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: thing I wish there was. There wasn't normal preseason. They'll

1240
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: never get rid of that preseason money. But the beauty

1241
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: of joint practices is that, you know, you truly get

1242
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the opportunity to work on specific things. And this is

1243
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: something JJ Watt talked a little bit about on Twitter

1244
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. He was a little alarmed to

1245
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: see how much stats reporting goes on from practice. But

1246
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: that's a real thing. That's it's always been a real thing,

1247
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: and one thing that has been pointed out by smart

1248
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: people since then is that what you don't know when

1249
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 1: you see the stat line. So so if you're a

1250
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: Browns fan and afterwards a writer does what their job

1251
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,759
Speaker 1: is and tells you, hey, Shador was one for six today,

1252
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,560
Speaker 1: but Dylan Gabriel was eight for ten. People see that,

1253
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: and what they don't know is, well, what was the

1254
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: situation Shador was in versus the situation that Dylan was in, Like,

1255
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: was one working on third and long installs and the

1256
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: other working on golden installs? Like that's very that's all

1257
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 1: very different. The beautiful thing about joint practices is that

1258
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: coaches do and can sit down with each other and say, hey,

1259
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: my team really needs to work on the following so

1260
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this. Well our that's our plan, and

1261
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: you're getting a common vision of exactly what you're trying

1262
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: to work on and how you.

1263
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 2: Work on it.

1264
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: They work together on it. So I think it's more

1265
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: meaningful from the reps, it's more meaningful from the reporting

1266
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: that you get from it. It's actually more beneficial from

1267
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: the team. Like all of these things actually make joint

1268
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 1: practices better. They're just not as sexy to report on

1269
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: because it's not a stadium full of people in watching

1270
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: a live game.

1271
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 2: Right, and it's not a real game. It to simulate

1272
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: it simulated circumstances. Right, You're trying to do the one thing.

1273
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you brought this up because I gotta

1274
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 2: I gotta talk about it. The other thing that we

1275
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: go goofy about is with numbers and how and how

1276
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 2: guys look. So Kyle McCord played in the fourth quarter

1277
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Thursday night, right, and people were crushing him here and

1278
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, listen, can you just give the kid a break?

1279
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 2: He comes in his line the left guard. It was

1280
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 2: the first ever football game because he's from Australia, he's

1281
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 2: a rugby player. For his left guard, you got you

1282
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 2: got two tackles that are you know, won't make the team,

1283
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 2: probably won't be able to practice one definitely won't be

1284
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 2: going to practice squad. You got another guard that is

1285
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 2: coming off of a year of injury. Like, what do

1286
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 2: you expect the kid to do? And by the way,

1287
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 2: he's not thrown aj Brown right, Like what do you

1288
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,759
Speaker 2: expect from a quarterback? And I only bring up Kyle

1289
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: because that's what happened Thursday night. But it's like that,

1290
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 2: it could be like that with any quarterback, right, you

1291
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 2: can't judge a kid that's playing his first first ever

1292
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 2: football game because he's a rugby player and a team

1293
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 2: took a flyer on you. You got to give him reps.

1294
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 2: You gotta get him used to it. So the quarterback

1295
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 2: behind him probably is going to suffer, but you gotta

1296
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 2: do it right because he could turn into Jordan may

1297
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 2: A loota two who's one of the best left tackles

1298
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 2: in football, who's a rugby player from Australia.

1299
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Which is also, by the way, sometimes why starting quarterback

1300
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: don't play very long in preseason games, even when teams

1301
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: want them to, because one thing we have to acknowledge

1302
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 1: is that if your starting quarterback is in and he's

1303
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: the most important player on your team, you have to

1304
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 1: keep more starting offensive linemen around him in the game

1305
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: because you do not want to risk injury. You're never

1306
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: going to put your second line in front of your

1307
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in a preseason game because that's a liability.

1308
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: So now, if you're a team, by the way, that

1309
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 1: in the preseason, if you're reading about your favorite team

1310
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: and you see that they've got some depth issue at

1311
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: guard or you know they've got some they're dinged up

1312
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: on the right side of the line. Well, if the

1313
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: coaching staff doesn't want to put the offensive line depth

1314
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: that is at risk in a preseason game. Now it

1315
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 1: has to impact how much time the starting quarterback gets.

1316
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: These are all the variables. Like you started the show

1317
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: talking very smartly about how there's two separate sections of

1318
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 1: the world. There's the people that are actually in the

1319
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: game and coaching the game and like at a different level,

1320
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: and then all of us that are consuming it from

1321
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. That's some of the minutia. Like

1322
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 1: all of this is stuff that fans in the moment,

1323
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: they don't care. They just want to watch somebody go

1324
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: out and crush it. But there's so much context to

1325
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: what that looks like. There is a you got to

1326
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 1: step back instead of just saying this guy sucks, ask yourself,

1327
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: why does this guy? Why does the offense look like

1328
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: this right now? And maybe when you ask yourself that question,

1329
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: you discover that and you have a better opportunity to

1330
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: judge somebody for what they're actually doing in.

1331
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,719
Speaker 2: Front of them. Yeah, yeah, it's well context.

1332
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: Oh I'm speaking of the Eagles, though, I will say this,

1333
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: Tanner McKee looked better just eye test. We're just talking

1334
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: about just the eye test of execution of an offense.

1335
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bengals defense is just another pile of hot

1336
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: garbaas this year. That is possible. But Tanner McKee looked

1337
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: better in his time with the Eagles in that preseason

1338
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: game than a bunch of starters did.

1339
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 5: Like.

1340
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: Look, whether Anthony Richardson unfortunately with the pinky, I hate

1341
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: that for him, But whether it's Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones,

1342
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Tanner McKee looked better than either of them in the

1343
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 1: process of that game. I just kept watching that, thinking, man,

1344
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna play himself into getting to start somewhere.

1345
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: Like it just feels like I gotta give you some light.

1346
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna set some light into that because he could

1347
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 2: have been starting somewhere else this year. All Right, I'll

1348
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 2: tell you the whole backstory, and I got a violation

1349
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 2: question for you too. All Right, the whole thing. We'll

1350
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 2: begin our questions Camp Questions next hour. Fellas Jason Fitz,

01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,719
Speaker 2: brought up McKee and yeah, he looked. He looked great.

1361
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 2: So Tanner McKee from Stanford is this is his third year.

1362
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 2: He's entering his third year. He has looked really good

1363
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 2: in preseason the last two years. Last year there was

1364
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,799
Speaker 2: a game when Jalen was hurt, Tanner had to start.

1365
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 2: He was terrific. I played really well. He makes all

1366
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 2: the throws. He's got a great arm, makes all the throws,

1367
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 2: pinpoint thrower, knows the offense. We'll let his receivers go

1368
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: up and make plays. He's really good, like really good.

1369
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 2: Gllen Moore in fact, was really excited when Tanner got

1370
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 2: the ability to start. Not because Jalen was hurt, obviously,

1371
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 2: but it wasn't a catastractive, catastrophic injury for Jalen, and

1372
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 2: it was a good opportunity for McKee to start a

1373
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 2: real game in a game that really mattered, and he

1374
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 2: performed really well. So fast forward to the draft. Howie

1375
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 2: Roseman from the Eagles got a ton of calls on McKee.

1376
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 2: Three teams really made plays for him. I know the

1377
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 2: Browns were one. They went up getting Kenny Pickett. They

1378
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 2: preferred McKee. The I know the Raiders were kicking attires.

1379
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 2: I know the Saints obviously, Chris Kellen went there, had

1380
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 2: interest in Tanner. There were a lot of teams that

1381
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 2: were really interested in some made offers. The Eagles view

1382
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 2: Tanner McKee as Tanner mcfoles, so he is there, you know,

1383
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 2: break class. Jalen unquestionably is the MVP of the Super Bowl,

1384
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback, all the above, but he's been dinged

1385
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 2: up the last couple of years. And the other thing

1386
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 2: about the style, what's the Eagles play? They used Jalen

1387
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: in the run game, right, so her has to be

1388
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 2: a big part of the run game the Eagles. We

1389
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 2: know all about what happened in twenty seventeen when Carson

1390
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 2: wentz got hurt in Los Angeles and it felt like

1391
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 2: it was the end of the year. Nick Falls came

1392
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 2: in and was magical without dual Tom Brady and a

1393
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 2: Disney story. And ever since then, the backup has been

1394
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 2: a huge priority for the Eagles, and despite really good offers,

1395
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 2: how he's not trading Tanner McKee.

1396
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: Look number one, I have said since I was a

1397
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: little podcast that nobody listened to, So for almost ten years,

1398
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: I've been preaching the fact that I believe that backup

1399
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,520
Speaker 1: quarterback is something that should be drafted and developed specifically

1400
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: by every team. And I do mean very specifically backup quarterback,

1401
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: Like go get you that guy that you're gonna let

1402
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,679
Speaker 1: learn that offense for years and become just that person

1403
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: you can rely on that Hey I need two three games.

1404
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: I got this guy. Maybe he's not a world but

1405
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: he knows my offense. He knows exactly what I need

1406
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: to do. He's been brought along slowly, Like I love

1407
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: the concept of protecting your backup quarterback because, my god,

1408
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 1: especially in a seventeen and eventually eighteen game season, you

1409
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: need him. What's interesting is that the Tanner m key thing,

1410
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Like I remember the draft prep on Tanner McKee. And

1411
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: it's funny you say the Raiders kick the tires, because

1412
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: I knew people around the organization then that were kicking

1413
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,799
Speaker 1: the tire like, ooh, should we look at Tanner McKee.

1414
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Everybody at the time knew that his intelligence, not just

1415
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: because of the stereotype of Stamford, but like he processes quickly.

1416
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 1: I was just really impressed to see in that game

1417
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 1: on the run one foot plant throw like it happened

1418
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: so a couple of times where his just control was

1419
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: so good and you look at it and think, my god,

1420
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: Like I get why the Eagles wouldn't want to let

1421
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: him go. I also get why other teams would be

1422
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: interested in him. And you know, he feels like viol

1423
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,560
Speaker 1: at some point in his contract, he's going to be

1424
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: able to go somewhere and viably I think he has

1425
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,640
Speaker 1: a chance to play like and also not for an

1426
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: out time. I got a toush push with tan McKey

1427
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: with those granny little legs come on the place.

1428
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 2: Well, it was great because you know, the Bengals are

1429
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 2: one of the teams that voted against it. It was nice, right,

1430
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 2: But the other thing, honestly, the kids got to build

1431
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 2: it like he's legitimate, Like I've seen him be developed.

1432
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 2: And this is something that we go back to about

1433
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 2: playing right away. I mean, when you get to sit

1434
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 2: and develop and now you're entering your third year, it's

1435
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 2: a huge help. It's a huge help. Like he's going

1436
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 2: to play and start in this league and be good.

1437
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 2: I've seen him, I've watched him in practice, like he's

1438
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 2: really he's legitimate. Patter McKee is legit. We're the fellas.

1439
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 2: Be back in a moment. Don't go anywhere.

1440
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, good.

1441
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:59,280

1444
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 2: talking about we're under a month from Eagles and Cowboys.

1445
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 2: We're two weeks away from week zero start college football.

1446
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 2: Jason fitz Anthony, I got a joint from the Fox

1447
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Sports radio studios. All right, FITZI, we were talking a

1448
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 2: lot about you know, obviously Chador, about Drake May. What'd

1449
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 2: you thinking of Brady's statue twelve foot high, Brady's statue

1450
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 2: outside Gillette.

1451
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: How are we gonna do a Brady statue, not a

1452
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: Belichick statue with him? Like I just was right side

1453
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: by side, like Bill and Brady, Like, wouldn't I I

1454
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean statue of a I'm not a

1455
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: big statue guy. You know, statues. More goes wrong than

1456
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: right with statues. The first to admit that b it's

1457
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: just for me, the farther we get away from that

1458
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: entire era more. I wish we could just appreciate that

1459
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: it was both of them. I'm so glad that we

1460
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: have somehow so far knock on Wood avoided the is

1461
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: it Mahomes or Andy Reid conversation?

1462
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 2: Right?

1463
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: I just it's exhausting and so to me. If I

1464
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,440
Speaker 1: could have had any way, especially the way the Patriots

1465
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 1: dynasties were built, if I could have had any you know,

1466
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: creative control on a statue, I would have done a

1467
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: cluster of people, including Brady and Belichick, and that would

1468
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: have been an easy way to never not single one

1469
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: person out. Plus, it's just kind of weird to me

1470
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: that the minority owner of another football team has a

1471
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: statue outside of New England. Not I understand the why

1472
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 1: on all of it, it just felt a little weird

1473
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: to me. It felt a little weird to me.

1474
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 2: I liked it. I'll be honest with you, I thought

1475
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 2: they got it right. I love first of all, it's

1476
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 2: enormous and if that'sought, it was cool. Yeah, I agree

1477
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 2: Belichick's beat. You should have one a Belichick too on

1478
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 2: the other side of the stadium. Like, I'm with you,

1479
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 2: but I don't think Brady was Jordan right, like one

1480
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 2: in a lifetime. I'm not like, I don't want any

1481
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 2: crowded statues right, like, but I think the statue's cool. Man,

1482
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm the honest with you.

1483
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 5: I like it.

1484
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 2: Maybe it's you know, my Roman roots, but I like

1485
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 2: the statue. I think statues now, you're right in this

1486
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 2: anti statue. Maybe I'm your anti statue, like because it's

1487
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 2: also weird to me, like you mentioned Roman statue. Like, Okay,

1488
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 2: one of the most surreal moments in my life has

1489
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 2: been standing in front of the statue of David Humble

1490
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 2: Brag and then you see like what it looks like

1491
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 2: and how pictures don't do.

1492
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: It justice, and it's just very wow.

1493
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 2: You know.

1494
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: I kind of think, like hot take here, you should

1495
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: be dead before they put up your statue. There's like

1496
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to take your kids to your Hey, guys,

1497
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: this is my statue.

1498
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1499
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: It feels weird to me. I don't know, I don't know.

1500
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 2: Don't you don't me? First of all, if you have

1501
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 2: that kind of accomplishment, I mean you should be celebrated.

1502
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: The guy was the goat, like.

1503
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 2: The goat thing k because of Brady. Like listen, I'm

1504
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 2: not I hate the Patriots right, like you know, I'm

1505
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 2: an Eagles fan. There was four and the super Bowl

1506
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 2: and t O. I mean, you gotta you gotta give

1507
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 2: him his flowers and his bronze. Like to me, we

1508
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 2: are only issues that we over statue. And you're right

1509
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 2: about this too, statues we get him wrong. Like the

1510
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 2: Sixers have a a Walk of Fame or whatever they

1511
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 2: want to call I figure what they actually call it. Right,

1512
01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 2: it's in their outside their practiceacility. So they come up

1513
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna have a statue of Alan Iverson and it's horrible.

1514
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 2: It's small, it's like a mini statue. It stakes like

1515
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 2: if you're gonna do AI the answer, and I think

1516
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 2: I'm all for it. Like they've had some great players,

1517
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 2: will doctor j Moses Malone, right, Barkley. If you're gonna

1518
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 2: have like AI, you gotta make it the right, gonna

1519
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 2: make it real, like making a life size statue.

1520
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 1: Larger than life. Like I believe if I'm going go

1521
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 1: walking up to a statue, if somebody was six foot four,

1522
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: I want that statue.

1523
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 2: To be like what Brady the twelve footer?

1524
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah rightwelo, I'm good with that. Yeah, it looks cool.

1525
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah that there is something very roman to that, you know,

1526
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: And and there's a happy medium, like I think there

1527
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: is a I don't want one statue outside of my stadium.

1528
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: I want a bunch of statues outside of my stadium,

1529
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: you know. I just and I was recently at Gillette.

1530
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: I was at Gullette for post Malone Jelly Roll, going

1531
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: to Gillett in a few weeks for walling like Gillette,

1532
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Gillette out. The outside of Gillette is actually really cool.

1533
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,679
Speaker 1: Vibe the way that they've got everything to the inside

1534
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: of Gellette. It's a dump by the way Jillette Gillette people,

1535
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, if you're listening, invests something inside that stadium

1536
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: to actually make the inside of that stadium feel like

1537
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,759
Speaker 1: you're someplace special, Like I mean, my god, the inside

1538
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: of Gillette is just a waste of time. It's literally

1539
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: the same like concession stand every ten feet. It's the

1540
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 1: same like hot dog, Hamburger, generic concession dan every five feet.

1541
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: There's not even like something different, Like at least when

1542
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: you go to Fenway you can get a lobster Gillette

1543
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: inside trash, but outside of Gillette really nice. And that

1544
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 1: whole like Patriot Place area really nice. It's just such

1545
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: a fun vibe until you walk into the stadium. So

1546
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: I like the concept of a massive twelve foot stadium.

1547
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: Like now I'm thinking, do I want twelve foot man?

1548
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: Do you make a twelve foot Belichick at some point?

1549
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 1: And if you do, is he wearing the hoodie? Like, yeah,

1550
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: you gotta weary that's a twelve footer. That's like you're

1551
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:03,600
Speaker 1: right though, Like there is a part of me that

1552
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: it feels very rom now, like if we're gonna go big,

1553
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: go big, big, big, big big, Like I don't need

1554
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, Like I don't need a statue that's

1555
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: like a quasi heisman. I want a statue that like fly,

1556
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's a damn statue right there. I

1557
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: just I still kind of feel like you should at

1558
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,560
Speaker 1: least be the age of a pop haul before you

1559
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 1: can take your your little kids to your grandkids should

1560
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: go to see your statue. I just it's too soon.

1561
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: It's too soon for Brady. It's too soon too. I'm

1562
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 1: still thinking about Brady. Yeah, I'm still thinking about Brady. Yeah,

1563
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about Brady's bucks super Bowl. Like they

1564
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: put in is he getting a statue for that? We

1565
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 1: put imagine in a world where we put a John

1566
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: Cruden and Tom Brady statue outside of the Buccaneers to

1567
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: celebrate some Super Bowls Like that just feels weird.

1568
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 2: Now, the rule of the statue needs to be if

1569
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:57,719
Speaker 2: you're a first ballot you know, automatic Hall of Famer,

1570
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 2: then you know you get a statue, right like and

1571
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 2: if you stayed with the team for you know, longer

1572
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,560
Speaker 2: than seven years, like I think you got to be

1573
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 2: with a team for seven years, seven seasons. And if

1574
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 2: you're a Hall of Famer, like an automatic Hall of Famer,

1575
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 2: I mean, you get a statue. You're Brady, you get

1576
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 2: a twelve foot statue.

1577
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 1: Are putting a statue of Aaron Rodgers out outside of Lambo?

1578
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean honestly, yes, like now or do now?

1579
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 4: No?

1580
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 2: Well, he's got to retire. Oh okay, Like I'm not saying,

1581
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 2: but no liked do I think Listen, I think Brett

1582
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 2: Farv is pretty much a scumbag, right, like when when

1583
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 2: you think about it, like some of the stuff that

1584
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 2: he's done, and I'm a huge Farv. I loved him

1585
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 2: as a quarterback. Some of the stuff that you know,

1586
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 2: he's a volt winner whatever they can. You know, he's scummy,

1587
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 2: But honestly, he deserves stat like if you're in Green Bay,

1588
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 2: like all those like statues, and I mean all that,

1589
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 2: like all that history some great players, Man, I love

1590
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 2: I would love that. It's all it is is a museum.

1591
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 2: It's not I dollatry. It's basically a museum, which I

1592
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 2: think is great. I think sports should stadiums should celebrate

1593
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 2: their past with a museum like entrance. So it's like

1594
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 2: a headhouse that's a museum that celebrates the franchise.

1595
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,560
Speaker 1: Look, I don't hate that idea. I think you know

1596
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 1: one one area I really like an Allegiance in Vegas

1597
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: is you can walk down this hall and they have

1598
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: huge like uh, they have a huge wall that has

1599
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 1: an engraved carving for you know, some of the historic

1600
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 1: Raiders players. I would I would love if I honestly,

1601
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: as you say, this out loud. If there was a

1602
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: Caesar's Palace like walk that led me up to Allegiance,

1603
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: that was all of the hall of every raider that's

1604
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame was on that walkway as

1605
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 1: you came through with huge, like Roman sized statues. You

1606
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: know you have talked me into this. This is a

1607
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: spectacular idea and you are a thousand like your Brett

1608
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,560
Speaker 1: fav take by the way, like I think this is

1609
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: where we always have to separate. Unfortunately, sometimes you have

1610
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:24,480
Speaker 1: to separate the person from you know, the the accomplishment.

1611
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: And I've always with the NFL Hall of Fame. Let's

1612
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,680
Speaker 1: remember Hall of Fame voters are specifically told that you

1613
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: cannot factor in anything that happened off the field. So

1614
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you can, if you can OJ, if

1615
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: OJ can still be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,

1616
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 1: then Brett Favre can get a statue outside of the

1617
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Packers Like he's not getting a statue for the human

1618
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 1: being he was. He was getting a statue for the

1619
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: quarterback he was. So I'm I'm you've talked me into this.

1620
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: A walkway coming through to walk into your favorite team

1621
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 1: stadium that has the statues of their greatest players. It

1622
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,799
Speaker 1: would not be much of a walkway for the Jags,

1623
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 1: but for most franchises it would be. I mean, can

1624
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: you start.

1625
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 2: You got to start somewhere, right, so you know, obviously

1626
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 2: it's like the Buckeye helmet, right, the stickers on the helmet.

1627
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 2: You know, you got to start with a couple. You

1628
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,760
Speaker 2: gotta start with run until you litter the helmet with

1629
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,639
Speaker 2: the stickers and with accomplishments. I mean, that's what That's

1630
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 2: what it comes down to. I think you do the walkway, headhouse,

1631
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, with the most the

1632
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 2: greatest players of your franchise. And I would even take

1633
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 2: an iconic moment or two, like Outside the Link was

1634
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 2: a Philly Special statue, which I like because like that

1635
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 2: was the first super Bowl and that was the iconic

1636
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 2: play with the Super Bowl and it's Doug Peterson and

1637
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 2: Nick Foles and it's the Philly Special. I thought it

1638
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 2: was awesome. I love it.

1639
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 1: I Uh, I like this idea. You actually, you know,

1640
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: I'm The funny thing is when I think of Landmark plays,

1641
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 1: most of most of them from my beloved Raiders would

1642
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 1: not be for a positive but you are right, like

1643
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 1: everybody has a couple of guys, and you could start

1644
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: with a couple of guys right at the entrance to

1645
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 1: the stadium and then you just work your way out

1646
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,640
Speaker 1: from there and like imagine, you know, I think one

1647
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: of the coolest things in college football is if you're

1648
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 1: ever in Knoxville and you you know, you run the

1649
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: tee and you go down to the Newland Stadium. I

1650
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 1: think that's such a cool experience. Now I'm just imagining

1651
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: funneling into your favorite team, Like if you are a

1652
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 1: Packers fan and you're funneling into Lambo by way of

1653
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: a just a group of statues to take you all

1654
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:50,720
Speaker 1: the way from you know, Lambo to Aaron Rodgers. That's

1655
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Rodgers post retirement. That is a really

1656
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 1: cool way to just see and celebrate the history as

1657
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 1: you come in. And it's one of those things that

1658
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:04,599
Speaker 1: on the TV broadcast they could shoot like the shot

1659
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: of everybody walking through that and they could go with

1660
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 1: a fast camera through like it's it's a great walk

1661
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:13,680
Speaker 1: through history, like it's it is an interesting concept of

1662
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 1: a way to embrace your history. And now you've talked

1663
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:17,680
Speaker 1: to me, You've talked me straight into it. As long

1664
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:19,640
Speaker 1: as they're all twelve feet and as long as they

1665
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: feel like they're straight out of Italy. I am now

1666
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: on statues if if they if somebody gets artistic with it,

1667
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,560
Speaker 1: if somebody tries to make one colorful or any like, no,

1668
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 1: totally out on that. But if you're just giving me,

1669
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 1: like straight up the inspiration is the statue of David,

1670
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 1: don't screw with it. That's the path I'm in on this. Yeah,

1671
01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 1: my bad, exactly.

1672
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 2: Like one of the things I love about Yankee Stadium

1673
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 2: into the old Yankee Stadium is you know, the it

1674
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 2: feels legendary, right Like, there's something about that. And if

1675
01:32:56,240 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 2: you're a new franchise, that's something to a byre to

1676
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 2: you know, you embrace your newness, right you know by

1677
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 2: only Sparsity and and you know this is what we're

1678
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 2: gonna build this thing, and you know, I just think

1679
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 2: it's a cool thing to do. I think we love

1680
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,560
Speaker 2: it so much. Why not like paym at playing like

1681
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 2: homage to it.

1682
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: You know what You've now got me on this. With

1683
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 1: the new Titan Stadium they're building, they should put the

1684
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Music City Miracle as a play with two statues, like

1685
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 1: why check on one side throwing the ball and the

1686
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 1: ball is in the air on the other side, and

1687
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: then I think it was Kevin Dyson. They caught the

1688
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 1: ball on the other leg. So you put the two

1689
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 1: the two played on each side of the walkway. You

1690
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 1: are actually recreating the Music City Miracle. I lent on this.

1691
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 1: This is build your multi billion dollar stadium and put

1692
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 1: the you put the Music City Miracle right outside of it,

1693
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 1: in the form of twelve foot Roman statues.

1694
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 2: Oh.

1695
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how I got to contact in Nashville,

1696
01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make.

1697
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 2: This a thing. I love the Music City marerale, I

1698
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 2: love it.

1699
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 1: Fun fact, by the way, about the Music City Miracle,

1700
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 1: everybody says they were there. That's like the Nashville legend.

1701
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 1: Everybody says they were there. I actually was there and

1702
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: watched it all go down, and I was really drunk,

1703
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 1: like not drunk. I was drunk with some buddies and

1704
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 1: we were walking down Second Avenue after the game. And

1705
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:22,640
Speaker 1: it was a much different version of Nashville in the

1706
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 1: late nineties, so Second Avenue walking down was not common,

1707
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: and we were just jumping up a down wildly drunk,

1708
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:32,519
Speaker 1: and some photographer took our picture and then asked for

1709
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: our names, and he's like, I worked for the Tennessee

1710
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 1: and which is the Nashville newspaper. And I was like cool, right,

1711
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: So the next day, the top of the newspaper every

1712
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:42,560
Speaker 1: day has the big word tennesseean and right next to

1713
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 1: the end, at the end of the word, are me

1714
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:48,679
Speaker 1: and my friends wildly drunk celebrating the music city miracle.

1715
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 1: But of note here, and this is important, they were

1716
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 1: all wearing Titans gear. You know who was not wearing

1717
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Titans gear? This guy, Because at the end of the day,

1718
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a Titan read. I was there with my

1719
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 1: buddies at a football game. But I've always looked at

1720
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 1: that with pride and like yep, even when you thought

1721
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 1: you were gonna catch me wearing another team's colors. Hell, no,

1722
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 1: I was just wearing a random sweater. It was cold outside,

1723
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 1: just a random colorless sweater instead of anything. So even

1724
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: even I can prove I was there because of the newspaper.

1725
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,440
Speaker 1: I can prove I was drunk because of the newspaper.

1726
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,600
Speaker 1: But I can also prove because of the newspaper that

1727
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 1: I was not. I was not betraying the trust of

1728
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: my beloved raiders.

1729
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:31,600
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it? Would you for the Titans,

1730
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 2: there's gotta be some sort of.

1731
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 1: McNair Yeah, yeah, McNair's yeah, he's front I mean he's

1732
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 1: front and center with it, like the Music City Miracle.

1733
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,280
Speaker 2: Also he's like, yeah, he's got to be in some

1734
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,679
Speaker 2: sort of the background of it where he's represented. Yeah.

1735
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eddie George would be represented, like and that's where

1736
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: it does become interesting. Derrick Henry when he retires would

1737
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: be represented. So it's funny because even when you think, oh,

1738
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: like franchises that a lot of people don't necessarily sit

1739
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:03,560
Speaker 1: down and say, oh, I can I can name you

1740
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 1: the mount Rushmore for that team. Almost every team, I

1741
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: mean every team has a mount Rushmore of some sort, right,

1742
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 1: Like every team has as much as I threw some

1743
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 1: shade at the Jags, like you know that there every

1744
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 1: team has some Mount Rushmore that that is worth it.

1745
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:27,919
Speaker 2: You know, I'm with you. It's interesting because a gabs

1746
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 2: or X says, Rogers getting a statute is much different.

1747
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 2: He only won one Super Bowl with the Packers. Brady

1748
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:40,759
Speaker 2: won six with New England. You know, he said, Rogers,

1749
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 2: if he got one, shouldn't be for a long time listen,

1750
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 2: I'm with you, like like you gotta you gotta give

1751
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 2: it a minute, right, especially with what went down in

1752
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 2: Green Bay. But when you take all those all those snaps,

1753
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he had a lot of success. He was

1754
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 2: great man like Rogers. I know, we look at him

1755
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 2: now and you know people are poking fun the whole thing.

1756
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 2: But forget about his personality, whatever it is you don't like.

1757
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:19,480
Speaker 2: He was a great quarterback man. He made a great quarterback.

1758
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,560
Speaker 1: This is super simple though. I mean the way what

1759
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 1: you said on Brady was when you're an automatic, when

1760
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 1: you're a first ballot Hall of Famer, you automatically get

1761
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:31,679
Speaker 1: a statue. I don't believe that there's a world where

1762
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer. So

1763
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 1: while it consider and say, you know what, this isn't

1764
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: about Brady's accomplishments versus Aaron rodgers accomplishments. This is about

1765
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 1: the simple concept of if you're a first ballot Hall

1766
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 1: of Famer, which, by the way, you could even say,

1767
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 1: do you deserve a statue if you're just a Hall

1768
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: of Famer because Eli is not a first ballot Hall

1769
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: of Famer. We now know that for fact is ELI

1770
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: deserving him a statue outside the Giants. I let Giants

1771
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 1: fans figure that out. But you know, if the construct

1772
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:01,600
Speaker 1: is first ballot Hall of Famer deserves the statue, I

1773
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: have a hard time believing that Aaron Rodgers won't be

1774
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer. So this isn't about

1775
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 1: one super Bowl versus six super Bowls. I also loudly

1776
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 1: will proclaim that I don't judge players based on super

1777
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,560
Speaker 1: Bowl count because then I'd have to suddenly tell you

1778
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 1: that Trent dilfher is better than Dan Marino and there

1779
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 1: is no world where Trent Dilfer is actually better than

1780
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 1: That's good.

1781
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 2: It's a great point, and you're right, I'm I get

1782
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:32,360
Speaker 2: what he's I think it's the newness. It's what went

1783
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 2: down right over the last couple of years, right, what's fresh.

1784
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 2: I get all that. But when he does retire and

1785
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 2: if you want to wait a year or whatever, because

1786
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 2: I do think you have to retire and wait a

1787
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 2: year and then come out and then give him his

1788
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 2: give his statue. I think he deserves it. I'm with you.

1789
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 1: I think that could make sense too, Like, hey, when

1790
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: if you're you know when somebody's going up for Hall

1791
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 1: of Fame, so you can always try and try and

1792
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: coordinate the timing of it with the Hall of Fame

1793
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 1: announce but that's easier said than done.

1794
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 2: Two. So my main Nikki right listening says, I gotta

1795
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 2: say Fitzie is a fox Hole Raiders fan, a Sentinel

1796
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:21,719
Speaker 2: won't bear foreign colors.

1797
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 1: Oh man. I've had other NFL teams offered to let

1798
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:29,679
Speaker 1: me play the national anthem, and my answer has always

1799
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 1: been hell no, Like I'm not. There's no other NFL

1800
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: team that I'm putting a jersey on for no way

1801
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: you play the anthem to give you a jersey, I'm not.

1802
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 1: There's no there's no world where a picture of me

1803
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:40,560
Speaker 1: is going to exist in a Patriots jersey or a

1804
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 1: Packers jersey or any of those dudes.

1805
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:47,759
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, you here's the all thing. You can't

1806
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 2: wear an all the team's chert, like you just can't

1807
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:55,360
Speaker 2: do it. I respect that, well, I don't know. You

1808
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 2: can get away with a hoodie or a hat or

1809
01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 2: like if you, if you, but not. The jersey's sacred.

1810
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 2: It's sacred, like you shouldn't wear any other thing like

1811
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 2: a hoodie or anything else. But whatever, you get a

1812
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 2: hoodie who cares. But the jersey is a sacred thing.

1813
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:19,639
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you, fellas. Right here Fox

01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 2: I got a quick thing for it all right, what

1834
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:34,439
Speaker 2: is your stance on birthdays? Like someone's birthday. So I

1835
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 2: got a producer who I love. Right, but but man,

1836
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 2: but man, I've been hearing about his birthday for two weeks.

1837
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 2: He's gonna be thirty two, right, And to me, a

1838
01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:55,080
Speaker 2: you should never bring up your birthday and you should

1839
01:41:55,120 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 2: never be like, oh, it's my birthday week. It's you know, dude,

1840
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 2: you're a thirty two year old man, Like I don't know,

1841
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:07,719
Speaker 2: like if you turn in thirty or forty or fifty

1842
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 2: or whatever, all right, twenty one.

1843
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

1844
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 2: But like birthdays to me, to really sell it, like, hey,

1845
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 2: it's Saturday night, your birthdays today, you go, you know,

1846
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 2: let's go out with some friends. Excuse to go out.

1847
01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 2: I get it, But you should never be people at

1848
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 2: work talking about your birthday weeks coming up. Yeah.

1849
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 1: So for me, I think it's one of those things

1850
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:39,840
Speaker 1: where you know, if you got a significant other and

1851
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: they want to go out to dinner and like make

1852
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 1: a little thing of a birthday, I guess that's okay.

1853
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up with really much and so birthdays

1854
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: weren't a big deal because we couldn't afford anything. So

1855
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 1: as I got older in life, I was just always like, yeah,

1856
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: another day, but it was funny because when I was

1857
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: on the road with the band, two of us had

1858
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 1: the same birthday on that tour, me and one of

1859
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,639
Speaker 1: our like management people, and she was but she was big.

1860
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: She got really upset with me one year when we

1861
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 1: were on the road because she was big into like, oh,

1862
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: it's my birthday and I want to have a big

1863
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:13,719
Speaker 1: party and I want balloons everywhere and all this stuff,

1864
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody in the band knew me well

1865
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 1: enough to know that, like the last thing I wanted

1866
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 1: was all of that. She got really frustrated with me

1867
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 1: one year because she was like, I feel like I'm

1868
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: being ostracized for making this a big deal because now

1869
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 1: you're making it such a small deal. And I sort

1870
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: of laughed at that. I've always thought about that, Like

1871
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 1: my favorite birthday, Yeah, no, it's true. My favorite birthday

1872
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: on the road was a year where they threw a

1873
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: massive party for her, Like there were balloons and like

1874
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 1: food and like everybody from all the different bands were

1875
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,880
Speaker 1: backstage and it was like an all night party. And

1876
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 1: I went up and on my on my pillow on

1877
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 1: my bunk was a little tub of cream cheese frosting

1878
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 1: that you could get it the spoon because they knew

1879
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 1: that that's all I really wanted. I wanted cream chees

1880
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to sit there and eat some cream

1881
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:57,599
Speaker 1: cheese frosting and be like, yeah, I made it through

1882
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 1: a year. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Like so

1883
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm just not a big birthday guy. Like I think

1884
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 1: it's important to know if you're like, if you're in

1885
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,519
Speaker 1: a relationship with somebody and they're a birthday week person,

1886
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 1: then you just got to embrace that and like make

1887
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 1: that thin because you're never going to change that. If

1888
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a coworker that's coming in and it's like, oh,

1889
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 1: it's my birthday week, No it isn't. No, you didn't

1890
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,360
Speaker 1: have a week. In fact, you didn't really do anything.

1891
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: We should celebrate your mom. Your mom did a lot

1892
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: that day, or we could celebrate your parents nine months before.

1893
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 1: You didn't do anything. You just popped out. So like

1894
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 1: the concept of birthday week, birthday month, I don't I

1895
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 1: don't get any of it. Like, if it's a landmark

1896
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 1: birthday and you want to do something big, I'm not

1897
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 1: going to judge you. If you're if you're calling me

1898
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: up and you're like, hey, I'm throwing. It's my thirty

1899
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 1: fifth and this one's a big year for me for

1900
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 1: whatever reason. And I want everybody to come to this place,

1901
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:44,920
Speaker 1: all right, Like if you're telling me it's important, I'll

1902
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: do it. But if you're just sitting in the office

1903
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 1: and you're like, I get to have a little extra

1905
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 2: No, no, it is not.

01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,160

1926
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 2: two year old man talking about his birthday.

1927
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 6: She stepped out for a second. But anybody anybody bringing

1928
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 6: up their birthday, it's kind of not weird, but it's

1929
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 6: like they're prepping you because they want it to be

1930
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 6: all about them. They want to make sure that you know,

1931
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 6: my day is coming up. So I need everybody to

1932
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 6: do for me.

1933
01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, like you should let somebody else do

1934
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 2: that for you, Like you gotta step aside if it's

1935
01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 2: a big number, like I'm all for a party, like

1936
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:45,600
Speaker 2: party it up, but like that's for somebody else to

1937
01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:49,560
Speaker 2: do that for you. You can't be going like you

1938
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:53,719

1944
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: the modern thing that I feel like happens to me

1945
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:16,120

01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't plan presence. If I see something that I

1967
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 1: think somebody would like, I.

1968
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 2: Get it for them.

1969
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: And that's just the way I've always lived. So like,

1970
01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: if it's your birthday one year, I might get you something.

1971
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 1: If I saw something and I was like, oh, this

1972
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,120
Speaker 1: makes me think of Anthony. The next year, I might

1973
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 1: not get you anything because I didn't see anything that

1974
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:22,879
Speaker 1: really Like, I'm just gonna buy you something.

1975
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:24,839
Speaker 2: To buy you. I love that. That's a great practice.

1976
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:29,639
Speaker 1: Like if you invite me behind a fancy like group

1977
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:32,000
Speaker 1: dinner with twenty people and we're all gonna sit there

1978
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 1: all night, nobody's ever gonna be able to talk to

1979
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:36,599
Speaker 1: anybody or hear anybody, and we're all gonna spend two

1980
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on some bad stake we don't really need.

1981
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:41,600
Speaker 1: If I've done all that, I'm not also bringing you

1982
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: a present. That's asking too much.

1983
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:46,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right, I know, I'm completely with you.

1984
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:49,640
Speaker 2: You know what it is, dude, A live It's generational

1985
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 2: because of social media. If you grew up with social media.

1986
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:58,720
Speaker 2: I think the me me is everybody's to start in

1987
01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 2: their own movie, right, I think that's more pronounced. I

1988
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 2: think if you're from like the previous generations, there's our generation,

1989
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:14,640
Speaker 2: you're more group about the group. You're less comfortable with

1990
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 2: a spotlight on yourself.

1991
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 6: You don't turn the spotlight on yourself so quickly. You

1992
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 6: don't want anybody. Most people don't want anybody to know.

1993
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:25,760
Speaker 6: They just want to have the birthday and move on.

1994
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:29,560
Speaker 6: Their family knows what's happening, but they don't want to

1995
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,160
Speaker 6: tell the rest of their friends because they just want

1996
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:35,719
Speaker 6: to keep it as low key as possible, unless they're

1997
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:38,759
Speaker 6: planning a big thing and they want all their friends

1998
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 6: and buddies to come to the event. But most people,

1999
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 6: I think this is my view, they don't want to

2000
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:48,280
Speaker 6: mention it. They just let it come and pass without

2001
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:49,240
Speaker 6: much talk about it.

2002
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:52,720
Speaker 1: Mark, what you just said, like so at my core,

2003
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, humble brag. I I talk about my music

2004
01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 1: too much sometimes. But like the other night, Little Big

2005
01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,040
Speaker 1: Town was around and I went in and I sat

2006
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 1: in with a little big town in country. I mean,

2007
01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:05,639
Speaker 1: that's crub, It's they're great. People went up. I played

2008
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:09,560
Speaker 1: girl Crush with them. We we finished the song and

2009
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,759
Speaker 1: like I didn't, I didn't. There was no grandiose introduction.

2010
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 1: I walked out on stage while the lights were low.

2011
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 1: The spotlight came on. I started playing this fiddle solo

2012
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,040
Speaker 1: they that I'd sort of worked out. Then I stood

2013
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:20,840
Speaker 1: up with the guys and the girls and I played

2014
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: the entire song and at the end of the song,

2015
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:25,559
Speaker 1: the light's been dimmed down and I just walked off

2016
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: the stage. There was no moment the like they literally

2017
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: had to get in front of the mic and like

2018
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: Kimberly called and was like wait, wait, wait, wait, come

2019
01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 1: back out so we could, you know, And so she

2020
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 1: came back.

2021
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:35,200
Speaker 2: It was like everybody make noise for.

2022
01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 1: Jay Smith, like that sort of thing. I I am

2023
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: not wired to sit there and be like wait, wait,

2024
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:46,120
Speaker 1: wait wait. Like I went out, I played. I had

2025
01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 1: a really nice connective moment with people I genuinely appreciate,

2026
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 1: Like I I loved getting that chance to do that.

2027
01:50:52,160 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 1: It was a special gift to me that that they

2028
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 1: let me intrude in their show, and the last thing

2029
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to do was then do cartwheels and be like,

2030
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 1: pay attention to me. I'm not why, like I think

2031
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:04,880
Speaker 1: to the birthday point, that's part of why. Like I

2032
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: just want a tub of cream cheese icing and get

2033
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 1: the hell out of my like I don't. We don't

2034
01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 1: even talk about it, like it's not a big deal.

2035
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: But I think Mighty Mark is right. There's just plenty

2036
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: of people that they point these things out because what

2037
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: they really want is the world to stop and everybody

2038
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: to sit down and just longingly look at them and

2039
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 1: be like, tell me about your life. It's your birthday,

2040
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 1: Happy birthday. I hope you're happy. Like it's just a

2041
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: weird position to be.

2042
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 6: Sometimes they just want their spotlight and they want to

2043
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:33,640
Speaker 6: make sure that everybody put the spotlight on me right now,

2044
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 6: do it for me, Do it for me. I want

2045
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:35,840
Speaker 6: everybody's attention.

2046
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't know if it's a

2047
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 2: gender thing, but like to me, girls a lot of

2048
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 2: girls would do that, right. You know, I've encountered bore

2049
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 2: women that.

2050
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 6: Do that because their girlfriends are going to take them

2051
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:52,920
Speaker 6: out for another girl's night, so they're all right, together.

2052
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 6: They're gonna drink and they're gonna do things. But they

2053
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:57,640
Speaker 6: point it out for their girlfriends.

2054
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 2: The dude that's thirty two years old. Yo, dude, come on, bro,

2055
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:05,759
Speaker 2: your birthday week. Come on, you took off two days

2056
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 2: I go for your birthday. You think you want to

2057
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 2: work off for Oh yeah, no, I'm out of that.

2058
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 2: Like you don't, I don't care. Summertime. Do what you

2059
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:16,560
Speaker 2: gotta do. Like I don't care. But like you're like,

2060
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 2: take off to go somewhere. I don't know, do whatever

2061
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 2: you want. But I don't know. It seems to violate.

2062
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,439
Speaker 2: I was asking you it's a violation. It seems like

2063
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 2: kind of a violation.

2064
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, you got if you got the days and

2065
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: you got the time, do whatever you want with your time.

2066
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 1: But if you're if you know, if you're coming to me,

2067
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:35,680
Speaker 1: it's just a ghast that you have to work on

2068
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 1: your birthday. And I do know people that are like that.

2069
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:39,799
Speaker 1: They're like, I cannot believe I'm at work on my birthday.

2070
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:42,960
Speaker 1: And it's like I've worked my birthday my entire life.

2071
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: I just I just am not wired to think that

2072
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 1: the world should shut down and I should not have

2073
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 1: to do anything, just because it's the day that you know,

2074
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 1: my mom pushed really hard. Like I just again, I

2075
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:56,760
Speaker 1: did nothing. I did nothing. My mom did everything. You know,

2076
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:58,800
Speaker 1: kudos if we want to, if we want to send

2077
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 1: my mom flowers on my birthday, or if you want

2078
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:04,920
Speaker 1: to send my parents both flowers nine months before my birthday,

2079
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,320
Speaker 1: that all makes way more sense than giving me anything.

2080
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 1: I just I just laid there.

2081
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,759
Speaker 5: I just celebrate like as a month, like al together,

2082
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 5: because I just make all these different celebrations. But I

2083
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,479
Speaker 5: don't really care. It doesn't affect the day. I'm just

2084
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:18,600
Speaker 5: kind of like I'll keep around my life, but.

2085
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 1: You are, a month is a birthday month.

2086
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 5: I like to celebrate every day and just keep it

2087
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:30,960
Speaker 5: like I keep it going, but like should start, I

2088
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:31,759
Speaker 5: don't start.

2089
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't like stop my life. Does that make sense?

2090
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:38,080
Speaker 5: Like I don't stop my life, but like I'll like,

2091
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 5: you know what, it's my birthday month. I'm gonna go

Speaker 5: like hey, we should go out and like I was

2098
01:53:57,240 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 5: go out because I have two jobs, so I'm very

2099
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:01,960
Speaker 5: selective what I do in my purse in my social life.

Speaker 2: hard on the producer.

2117
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 5: Well it's in a sense of like, but I'm not

2118
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 5: I don't expect anything, like you shouldn't give me the

2119
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 5: day off, Like if I'm not working on my birthday

2120
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 5: on this show, you shouldn't. You should like fire me

2121
01:54:57,920 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 5: you know you should be like Scott, I don't want

2122
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 5: that girl on, you know what I mean, Like, that's

2123
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 5: just weird.

2124
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 2: That's personally all right, let's think break. That's awesome, I fellas.

2125
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 2: We digress. Back to football coming up next right here,

2126
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:17,240
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Welcome back, Fellas, Jason Fitz, Anthony Gargano.

2127
01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:24,480
Speaker 2: So we got a triple header NFL Network today, so

2128
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 2: we're doing the preseason test. So it's been great. We

2129
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 2: love last night, we love Thursday night. Here's the test.

2130
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 2: You watching the NFL triple header today. One o'clock Giants Bills,

2131
01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 2: four o'clock Texas and the Texans and the Vikings and

2132
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:49,080
Speaker 2: then Jets Packers at eight.

2133
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean I have to watch the Vikings, right. JJ

2134
01:55:56,040 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 1: is one of the most interesting things about the early

2135
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 1: portion of this season. I mean, well.

2136
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:07,200
Speaker 2: Scary if that's the if all reports out of Minnesota

2137
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 2: are right, and that team is frightened about what JJ's

2138
01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 2: looked like so far, and that's.

2139
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 1: What is kind of wild, right, Like, this is a

2140
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:22,440
Speaker 1: team that won fourteen games last year, and the presumption

2141
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 1: is that they did it despite Sam Donald, not because

2142
01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: of Sam Donald. To the point that Vikings fans were

2143
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 1: clearly happy to let him walk out the door because

2144
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 1: of the way he performed at the end of the season.

2145
01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: I understand that, but I've had this raging debate with

2146
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 1: Vikings fans ever since then that I don't think you

2147
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 1: necessarily I'm not sure you're putting enough value on what

2148
01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: those fourteen wins can mean too. So now you've got

2149
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 1: JJ mccarthur come again in Vegas has told you they

2150
01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 1: think this is going to be a massive drop off.

2151
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,280
Speaker 1: I think the win total in Vegas in most sportsbooks

2152
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 1: now is around eight and a half, so that's a

2153
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 1: massive drop off for the Vikings. I'm still looking at

2154
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 1: all of this saying, Okay, you have a quarterback that

2155
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:00,880
Speaker 1: has not played any meaningful snaps quite a long time.

2156
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,320
Speaker 1: When he did play last pre season, it was good,

2157
01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 1: like everybody was happy. But since then he's had multiple

2158
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:09,720
Speaker 1: procedures on his knee. According to multiple reports, he dropped

2159
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 1: a substantial amount of weight and then they had to

2160
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 1: try and get him to put that weight back on.

2161
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 2: Son.

2162
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:17,440
Speaker 1: You've got rusted, You've got you know, the weight stuff,

2163
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 1: You've got reps in general for a guy that I'm

2164
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 1: sorry didn't throw Michigan to a National Championship. So every

2165
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 1: question I had when I was doing my live broadcast

2166
01:57:26,280 --> 01:57:28,520
Speaker 1: with Yahoo when he was drafted, I think is still

2167
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,680
Speaker 1: a fair question to ask. So I just you know me,

2168
01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:33,920
Speaker 1: I love proof of concept. I used the phrase too much.

2169
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:36,320
Speaker 1: It's like a crutch for me. I love proof of concept.

2170
01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 1: We have absolutely zero proof of concept for JJ. He's

2171
01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about the amount of eyeballs on

2172
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:45,880
Speaker 1: Shadour last night. Most people, even Browns fans, don't expect

2173
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: the Browns to be great this year. Most Vikings fans

2174
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 1: expect Minnesota to be great. I would argue that there's

2175
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: far more pressure on JJ to performed this season than

2176
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:57,800
Speaker 1: there is for chadur Oh, it's Stardi the close.

2177
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:03,120
Speaker 2: Sure, I'd started close because I think again, I think

2178
01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 2: most people thought, well, JJ's gonna be fine, right. I

2179
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:12,000
Speaker 2: don't know if they were calling him you know, Culpepper

2180
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 2: or you know, Fran Tarkatin or whatever, but they I

2181
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:20,960
Speaker 2: think most Vikings fans thought, we all right, you know,

2182
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:23,800
Speaker 2: it makes sense, and JJ comes in, He's gonna be

2183
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 2: good and he won't be Donald in the meltdown game.

2184
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 2: He'll be fine. But like if he can't play, I mean,

2185
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, part of the whole thing with Rogers was

2186
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 2: he wanted to go to Minnesota. Like Rogers wanted to

2187
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:45,320
Speaker 2: go to Minnesota more than any anywhere else, and they

2188
01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 2: didn't want him. The specter of Rogers over JJ.

2189
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:54,680
Speaker 1: And I got Kirk Cousins loudly saying in quarterback over

2190
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 1: and over again that he wouldn't have left Minnesota if

2191
01:58:57,440 --> 01:58:59,640
Speaker 1: he knew what they were gonna do. And you know,

2192
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:02,840
Speaker 1: Kirk Kirk wasn't great last year. But man, if you're

2193
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings, you're looking around, I mean, if this you're

2194
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 1: ready to win.

2195
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:07,240
Speaker 2: You win.

2196
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 1: They're going to panic. They should panic if this goes

2197
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:11,640
Speaker 1: terribly in the preseason.

2198
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the first thing you do is you

2199
01:59:15,560 --> 01:59:21,480
Speaker 2: try to get Kirks back. I mean yeah, not right.

2200
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 2: Not then, Like that was that this move is a

2201
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 2: huge thing and it's underplayed. You know, it really is

2202
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 2: an underplayed story as we enter the season, which is

2203
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 2: who is JJ McCarthy? All right, uh questions everybody has them.

2204
01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:45,680
Speaker 2: Next hour all quests of camp Fellas on Fox.

2205
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:03,960
Speaker 2: October Augets ninth.

2209
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:07,200
Speaker 1: You know where my mind is at, taking me straight

2210
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 1: to Halloween everywhere, haunting people.

2211
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Let's go, Jason fits Anthony gargt it. We're two weeks

2212
02:00:14,400 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 2: away from Week zero college football and the throws of

2213
02:00:19,480 --> 02:00:24,520
Speaker 2: early preseason. Before you know it, first Thursday of the

2214
02:00:24,680 --> 02:00:28,880
Speaker 2: NFL Eagles Cowboys will be upon us this hour. We're

2215
02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:31,800
Speaker 2: gonna go camp by camp, looking at the questions, the

2216
02:00:31,880 --> 02:00:37,720
Speaker 2: biggest questions of training camp heading into this whole preseason

2217
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:43,040
Speaker 2: week one. Pretty soon there'll be no preseason three. It'll

2218
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:48,560
Speaker 2: just be two weeks. There'll be eighteen games, which is

2219
02:00:48,640 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 2: probably what it will be, which actually would be perfect,

2220
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 2: don't you think.

2221
02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, I'm all at eighteen games is an inevitability?

2222
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Two preseason games is? I wish there was. I wish

2223
02:00:58,880 --> 02:01:01,800
Speaker 1: that we could figure out a way to have some

2224
02:01:02,200 --> 02:01:05,200
Speaker 1: version of the NBA Summer League for the NFL, for

2225
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:07,320
Speaker 1: some younger players to develop and get the chance to

2226
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:09,640
Speaker 1: be on the field and teams get a sense. I

2227
02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:13,720
Speaker 1: wish that existed. It just doesn't. So, you know, as

2228
02:01:13,800 --> 02:01:16,040
Speaker 1: much as we're talking about should do it right now,

2229
02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:19,480
Speaker 1: there's certainly plenty of guys out there that could use

2230
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:21,640
Speaker 1: reps and opportunities to just show what they can do.

2231
02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:24,600
Speaker 1: And it just doesn't it doesn't exist in the modern climate.

2232
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:27,760
Speaker 1: That's unfortunate, but that's collateral damage. We want more, more

2233
02:01:27,840 --> 02:01:29,480
Speaker 1: meaningful football, so we'll always take it.

2234
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:33,720
Speaker 2: But you know what, Look, we just talked about last

2235
02:01:33,800 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 2: hour Tanner McKee, and like, trust me as someone who's

2236
02:01:38,080 --> 02:01:42,320
Speaker 2: followed this kid and knows them. You know, during my

2237
02:01:42,440 --> 02:01:45,840
Speaker 2: backyard the Eagles, Tanner McKee's gonna be a good player

2238
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:48,120
Speaker 2: in this league. I just know help be a starting

2239
02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:53,080
Speaker 2: quarterback in this league. Can make every throw. He's been developed,

2240
02:01:53,920 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 2: and like you can develop in practice in camps like

2241
02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:04,080
Speaker 2: you know, OTAs like you just by being in a

2242
02:02:04,160 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 2: quarterback room with good coaches, a good starter, you're going

2243
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:12,480
Speaker 2: to develop and it just it just takes time. That's

2244
02:02:12,480 --> 02:02:15,280
Speaker 2: why we were talking about Shador. The best thing for

2245
02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:21,440
Speaker 2: Shador is to is to sit and watch Joe Flacco, right,

2246
02:02:22,320 --> 02:02:26,640
Speaker 2: just absorb it all. Being in a quarterback room with

2247
02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco. And even Pickett's been been around for a minute, right,

2248
02:02:31,840 --> 02:02:36,160
Speaker 2: But a guy like Flacco who is forty, who has

2249
02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 2: you know, won a Super Bowl and been around front

2250
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:43,120
Speaker 2: for a lot of yards in this league, those defenses

2251
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:46,480
Speaker 2: understands it all. It's great for Shador to be uh

2252
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:47,880
Speaker 2: to be part of that.

2253
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know we talked earlier about joint practices.

2254
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:55,640
Speaker 1: It's something that is one of the most difficult parts

2255
02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 1: of what it's like for all of us to try

2256
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:01,120
Speaker 1: and figure out how these guys are progressing. And you

2257
02:03:01,240 --> 02:03:03,920
Speaker 1: know this being around the Eagles practices so much is

2258
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 1: that if you're the Browns and you're Kevin Stefanski, you're

2259
02:03:07,040 --> 02:03:09,160
Speaker 1: seeing every ounce of everything. You're seeing it in the

2260
02:03:09,480 --> 02:03:13,400
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. You're talking to your assistant coaches about exactly

2261
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:16,240
Speaker 1: how much is being absorbed, how guys are processing, what

2262
02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:18,680
Speaker 1: they figuring out. You see it in practice. You know,

2263
02:03:18,960 --> 02:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Belichick notory is for quizzing his guys constantly, right Like,

2264
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:24,200
Speaker 1: there's so much information that goes into all of it.

2265
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 1: And they see that for you know, six days a week,

2266
02:03:27,920 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours a day and everything that

2267
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 1: they possibly do. And then we see one half of

2268
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 1: a preseason football game and that is supposed to be

2269
02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: this big landmark moment. But it is a fair point

2270
02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 1: that if you're Kevin Stefanski in the Cleveland Browns, you

2271
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:45,120
Speaker 1: should not be surprised by anything you see in a

2272
02:03:45,160 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 1: preseason game, Like you might say, oh wow, he's a

2273
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:48,880
Speaker 1: real gamer, like he's got an extra level to it.

2274
02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:53,360
Speaker 1: That's fine, but your opinion on a player overall shouldn't

2275
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 1: suddenly just drastically change based on one half of a

2276
02:03:57,320 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 1: preseason football game. There's so much other context and development

2277
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:03,160
Speaker 1: that you're seeing every single second of every single day.

2278
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Then we're just not privy to like it.

2279
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 2: We're all guilty of making these rash you know, uh,

2280
02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:15,040
Speaker 2: having these rash opinions after a couple plays, couple series, right,

2281
02:04:15,720 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 2: So the O reason why you go, ah, man, he

2282
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:22,440
Speaker 2: looked good, and you just take it as that general

2283
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:26,320
Speaker 2: statement because if you didn't look like you belonged, we

2284
02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:29,880
Speaker 2: would say that, and the whole world would be like,

2285
02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:35,520
Speaker 2: oh look shit, doors d stakes not gonna be anything.

2286
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:38,040
Speaker 2: That'd be the first thing people would say after a

2287
02:04:38,080 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 2: preseason game, right, Like that's the truth. Like did you

2288
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 2: freak out over Ashton Genty with these three carries?

2289
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:50,200
Speaker 1: So I was I was doing a rehearsal for the

2290
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:53,840
Speaker 1: new Yahoo show Lunswers Monday, and there was a segment

2291
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:55,680
Speaker 1: where I was talking about Ashton gent and how good

2292
02:04:55,720 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be this year, and the producers

2293
02:04:58,720 --> 02:05:01,960
Speaker 1: to troll me put a graphic up three carries minus

2294
02:05:02,040 --> 02:05:04,760
Speaker 1: one yards with neon around it. There's blinking the whole time,

2295
02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, I literally laugh at this stuff. Because

2296
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:11,120
Speaker 1: even if Pete Carroll was asked after the game about

2297
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 1: how simple the play calling was and he's like, yeah,

2298
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 1: we're keeping things kind of simple, and I think it

2299
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 1: was just again, there's just so much. You're right, the

2300
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:22,840
Speaker 1: problem is we just we're gonna freak out. If it's bad,

2301
02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:25,320
Speaker 1: we freak out, and if it's good, we freak out.

2302
02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 1: And like the answer is probably somewhere in the middle.

2303
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 1: You know, there is some sort of you know, chadur

2304
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 1: had a really good moment, Ashton jend had a really

2305
02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 1: bad moment. Does that change the way any of us

2306
02:05:35,560 --> 02:05:38,200
Speaker 1: should view the opening month of the NFL season? I

2307
02:05:38,760 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 1: don't think so. Do you Like? It's just it seems

2308
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 1: like it's just too much.

2309
02:05:44,160 --> 02:05:47,920
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. Hey, by the way, he missed any of

2318
02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:19,200
Speaker 2: But let's let's go into questioned mode. All right, Yeah,

2319
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:23,040
Speaker 2: so you're the answer man, and let's start. We'll start

2320
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 2: in the NFC smells. The start with the Eagles because

2321
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 2: they are the defending champions. Their biggest question mark is

2322
02:06:31,680 --> 02:06:37,600
Speaker 2: on defense. It's a corner spot that Darius Slayh had

2323
02:06:37,720 --> 02:06:41,720
Speaker 2: last year and a lack of depth on the edge.

2324
02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:46,200
Speaker 2: It passed ros So it's the biggest question is on defense.

2325
02:06:47,240 --> 02:06:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're totally right by the way you guys

2326
02:06:49,160 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 1: acquired Jacoreyan Bennett, who I think can help in that

2327
02:06:51,520 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 1: secondary a lot if he can stay healthy, if that

2328
02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:56,840
Speaker 1: shoulder is any good, that's a really good acquisition. They've

2329
02:06:56,920 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: got to figure out how they're replacing their productivity production

2330
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:04,160
Speaker 1: on the field of Josh Wet obviously, but man, I

2331
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:06,400
Speaker 1: don't know when you're defensive line, and I get that

2332
02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:09,800
Speaker 1: people keep talking about how different this has been handled.

2333
02:07:09,960 --> 02:07:11,840
Speaker 1: And I will give Howie Roseman a ton of credit

2334
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:14,040
Speaker 1: because you know better than anybody. The last time they

2335
02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:16,160
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, the next year it was kind

2336
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 1: of running back. They've been aggressive, I think in allowing, hey,

2337
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:23,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep retooling this roster. I just trust Howie

2338
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:26,600
Speaker 1: Roseman so much like when I watched the Raiders trust

2339
02:07:26,680 --> 02:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Ja Cory and Bennett to the Eagles trade him. The

2340
02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:31,560
Speaker 1: first thing I thought was, you never beat Howie Roseman

2341
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:33,520
Speaker 1: in a trade. So all I can hope for is

2342
02:07:33,560 --> 02:07:36,520
Speaker 1: it's a break even, right, So they'll be fine. The

2343
02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:37,520
Speaker 1: depth is will be fine.

2344
02:07:37,960 --> 02:07:39,880
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I think it is a break even

2345
02:07:39,960 --> 02:07:43,400
Speaker 2: more because I like Booker. Booker's a legitimate defensive tackle

2346
02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:47,760
Speaker 2: on the rotation, and I know Bennett's not Pete Carroll's

2347
02:07:48,560 --> 02:07:52,320
Speaker 2: type of corner. He likes long, tall corners. So I

2348
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:54,680
Speaker 2: think it's one of the trades that the Raiders could

2349
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:58,920
Speaker 2: use some depth along their interior line. And I think

2350
02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:03,160
Speaker 2: the Eagles and desperately needed another body out there. And

2351
02:08:03,280 --> 02:08:05,280
Speaker 2: in the end, yep, I think they need to add

2352
02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:10,200
Speaker 2: one more edge rusher, even more than the corner. I mean,

2353
02:08:10,720 --> 02:08:13,400
Speaker 2: they have a great cornerback of QUINNYA. Mitchell, who's going

2354
02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:17,400
Speaker 2: to be a star and Cooper Dejean, who can play

2355
02:08:17,640 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 2: outside corner Nickel and he can play safety, So you know,

2356
02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:25,400
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be good defensively. They're young, they

2357
02:08:25,480 --> 02:08:26,960
Speaker 2: have a lot of talent. I think they need a

2358
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:31,520
Speaker 2: little bit more depth off the edge. How about the Cowboys,

2359
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:39,160
Speaker 2: so the big story obviously, I mean Micah still no,

2360
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:45,640
Speaker 2: still nothing between Micah and Jerry. And again, Mike is

2361
02:08:45,720 --> 02:08:49,400
Speaker 2: not the first player that Jerry tried to back door

2362
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:54,440
Speaker 2: into a deal. How does the Cowboys? How do the

2363
02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:59,440
Speaker 2: Cowboys come back from this, like, this moment of division

2364
02:09:00,160 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 2: with its best player? How do the Cowboys come back from.

2365
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 1: This historic money and the like? I honestly think it's

2366
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 1: going to take jaw dropping money and money fixes everything.

2367
02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:14,560
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett wanted to trade until he got paid. Max

2368
02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:18,280
Speaker 1: Crosby may have wanted to trade until he got paid Miles.

2369
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:20,440
Speaker 1: At some point, Mike is going to be the same.

2370
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna I believe this deal is going to be done,

2371
02:09:22,520 --> 02:09:24,200
Speaker 1: and I believe he's going to be a Dallas Cowboy.

2372
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,680
Speaker 1: But I do think it's pretty staggering when you see

2373
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:30,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys star players of the past and president speaking out

2374
02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, so so much on social media about this,

2375
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 1: and then you've got Jerry sitting in front of a

2376
02:09:34,960 --> 02:09:37,320
Speaker 1: microphone saying, well, I bought the dollars Cowboys with the

2377
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:40,640
Speaker 1: handshake deal? What are we talking about? Like at this

2378
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:44,480
Speaker 1: has gotten so weird, and Jerry just keeps using his

2379
02:09:44,680 --> 02:09:48,240
Speaker 1: microphone to make it even weirder. This is I understand,

2380
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:50,040
Speaker 1: it's his team, and nobody can ever get him to

2381
02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:53,120
Speaker 1: not use the microphone, But my god, I just feel

2382
02:09:53,160 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 1: like we're sitting at the Thanksgiving table and you're watching

2383
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:58,040
Speaker 1: your grandpa say things he shouldn't say, and nobody at

2384
02:09:58,080 --> 02:09:59,600
Speaker 1: the table has the courage to tell him just to

2385
02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:03,040
Speaker 1: shut Every time Jerry speaks, he makes it worse. Micah

2386
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:04,720
Speaker 1: is gonna go out there and he's gonna get paid,

2387
02:10:04,760 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it in my mind. But this

2388
02:10:07,040 --> 02:10:09,720
Speaker 1: has gotten weirdly contentious. And what do you know, the

2389
02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:12,440
Speaker 1: last thing you ever need for the Cowboys is a distraction.

2390
02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Like I have no idea what the hell to expect

2391
02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:18,240
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys other than a disjointed, weird season.

2392
02:10:19,600 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because ultimately, you know, obviously Mike is not going

2393
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:26,760
Speaker 2: any where. They're not gonna get traded. They're not gonna

2394
02:10:26,760 --> 02:10:30,880
Speaker 2: trade them they're gonna wind up paying Parsons. But the

2395
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:39,280
Speaker 2: issue is does Jerry's behavior have a tangible effect on

2396
02:10:39,480 --> 02:10:45,440
Speaker 2: the roster, the players themselves, And by the way, it

2397
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 2: has to do with the coach too. You went within

2398
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 2: a young, unproven coach because you want to be able

2399
02:10:53,200 --> 02:10:54,280
Speaker 2: to control the situation.

2400
02:10:55,320 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went with the young, unproven coach that you

2401
02:10:57,480 --> 02:11:00,000
Speaker 1: have cut off of the knees at press conferences multiple

2402
02:11:00,160 --> 02:11:02,360
Speaker 1: time since you hired him. He's a coach that likes

2403
02:11:02,440 --> 02:11:05,360
Speaker 1: to run the ball a lot. Historically, you still don't

2404
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:07,760
Speaker 1: have a running back that I think you know now

2405
02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:10,400
Speaker 1: can do that for you. Like, so the roster construction

2406
02:11:10,520 --> 02:11:12,600
Speaker 1: doesn't match the people you've come in to try and

2407
02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,280
Speaker 1: cook with the ingredients you have in the pantry, and

2408
02:11:15,880 --> 02:11:18,000
Speaker 1: you know you've got this team. They're the only team

2409
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:20,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL that I was talking to one reporter

2410
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:22,680
Speaker 1: that has covered the Cowboys for a long time. They're

2411
02:11:22,720 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFL that will stop in

2412
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: the middle of a practice because the sponsors happen to

2413
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:29,360
Speaker 1: be walking through the practice field and they just want

2414
02:11:29,400 --> 02:11:30,760
Speaker 1: you to meet them. You know, they want to have

2415
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:35,760
Speaker 1: that opportunity. It's already such a distracted environment in general,

2416
02:11:35,920 --> 02:11:38,280
Speaker 1: and now you add this to it, like, I don't know,

2417
02:11:38,480 --> 02:11:41,440
Speaker 1: I just I hate when we have this concept that

2418
02:11:41,480 --> 02:11:43,520
Speaker 1: players can't shut it off in an impact Sundays. But

2419
02:11:44,040 --> 02:11:46,160
Speaker 1: my god, I just don't know how all of this

2420
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 1: noise doesn't impacts on Day's. The only thing that shuts

2421
02:11:48,680 --> 02:11:51,120
Speaker 1: up the contract dispute, his money, and the only thing

2422
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:53,760
Speaker 1: that stops the divide is winning. And I just don't

2423
02:11:53,800 --> 02:11:56,280
Speaker 1: know how they win fast enough to bring everybody together

2424
02:11:56,320 --> 02:11:59,120
Speaker 1: on this one. It just this feels like a disaster,

2425
02:11:59,600 --> 02:12:01,960
Speaker 1: as in on the Cowboys as I was last year,

2426
02:12:02,040 --> 02:12:03,480
Speaker 1: and you were right to call me out on it.

2427
02:12:03,800 --> 02:12:05,800
Speaker 1: That's how far out I am on them being productive

2428
02:12:05,840 --> 02:12:07,000
Speaker 1: this year to the level they should be.

2429
02:12:07,400 --> 02:12:11,400
Speaker 2: All Right, let's go to Washington, where you know there's

2430
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:15,440
Speaker 2: a similar situation going on with Terry McLaurin. However, the

2431
02:12:15,600 --> 02:12:22,200
Speaker 2: difference is Terry's in the building and Terry's he came

2432
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:26,480
Speaker 2: out and he's talking to the Washington He's talking to

2433
02:12:26,600 --> 02:12:30,720
Speaker 2: his people's coaches, let them know he's gonna publicly ask

2434
02:12:30,840 --> 02:12:33,520
Speaker 2: for a trade just to get the deal done. So

2435
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:36,360
Speaker 2: that deal, that deal's going to get done. I think

2436
02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:42,520
Speaker 2: it's a lot less contentious, but here's the question, Washington

2437
02:12:42,560 --> 02:12:46,280
Speaker 2: decided to go for it? Did they go all in

2438
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:54,360
Speaker 2: kind of like gotten too old? And is Deebo the answer?

2439
02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:57,680
Speaker 2: Next to opposite mclauren.

2440
02:12:58,520 --> 02:13:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think Washington last year, Warn't Sharp

2441
02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:05,240
Speaker 1: did a great piece on the advanced analytics of why

2442
02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:08,760
Speaker 1: Washington just they won so many games they shouldn't win.

2443
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, their fourth down conversion rate was historic, and

2444
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:14,680
Speaker 1: you look at some of the endings that we remember,

2445
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, the walk off on the Hail Mary, things

2446
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:20,280
Speaker 1: like that, Like they just I feel like Washington is

2447
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 1: going to take a step back this year because they

2448
02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:24,400
Speaker 1: were so lucky last year. Not to say that they

2449
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is great. I think it's a realistic expectation

2450
02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:30,760
Speaker 1: that they still feel like a ten win team to me,

2451
02:13:31,680 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 1: but I think Washington fans expect more than that, if

2452
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:38,440
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Is Deebo the answer? Eh? I mean

2453
02:13:39,480 --> 02:13:42,280
Speaker 1: this feels like, eh, they accelerated past where they thought

2454
02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:44,360
Speaker 1: their roster was going to be last year, and so

2455
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:46,600
Speaker 1: now they spent a ton of money in free agency

2456
02:13:46,760 --> 02:13:49,919
Speaker 1: in a year where there was so much money available

2457
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:52,080
Speaker 1: that there wasn't really a lot of free agency. That

2458
02:13:52,120 --> 02:13:55,040
Speaker 1: I feel like is massive difference makers, so they're trying

2459
02:13:55,080 --> 02:13:57,680
Speaker 1: to continue this momentum when development would have been a

2460
02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:00,320
Speaker 1: better long term plan. I think I still think Washingtonton's

2461
02:14:00,400 --> 02:14:04,120
Speaker 1: very good. I just think that Washington, you know, they've

2462
02:14:04,240 --> 02:14:06,720
Speaker 1: now got the pieces in to be a ten win team,

2463
02:14:06,880 --> 02:14:09,680
Speaker 1: but that doesn't necessarily feel like that's the expectation place,

2464
02:14:09,720 --> 02:14:12,160
Speaker 1: so that people had like Washington's gonna feel a lot

2465
02:14:12,240 --> 02:14:14,640
Speaker 1: like the Texans from last year to this year, where

2466
02:14:14,920 --> 02:14:17,640
Speaker 1: everybody thought the Texans were gonna leap forward and instead

2467
02:14:17,680 --> 02:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the Texans were just sort of, you know, it didn't

2468
02:14:20,040 --> 02:14:21,640
Speaker 1: look quite as easy, and they ran it the same.

2469
02:14:21,720 --> 02:14:23,240
Speaker 1: That feels like Washington to me this year.

2470
02:14:23,480 --> 02:14:25,720
Speaker 2: No. The only thing is though, and I hear the

2471
02:14:25,880 --> 02:14:31,600
Speaker 2: comparison a lot because of stroud second year slump and

2472
02:14:31,720 --> 02:14:35,320
Speaker 2: then well, you know, I think Jade Daniels I don't

2473
02:14:35,400 --> 02:14:38,840
Speaker 2: believe that. I love Jada Daniels. I think he's the truth.

2474
02:14:39,640 --> 02:14:43,960
Speaker 2: I think he is a terrific quarterback. I think he's

2475
02:14:44,040 --> 02:14:48,720
Speaker 2: better than CJ. Stroud. I don't think he regresses. Now.

2476
02:14:49,160 --> 02:14:51,880
Speaker 2: They may not win the way many games, but he's

2477
02:14:52,040 --> 02:14:55,120
Speaker 2: not gonna somehow have this slump. And by the way,

2478
02:14:55,520 --> 02:14:58,760
Speaker 2: in fairness to CJ thir ow line got dinged up

2479
02:14:58,840 --> 02:14:59,440
Speaker 2: badly too.

2480
02:15:00,080 --> 02:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I strongly agree with everything you just said.

2481
02:15:03,280 --> 02:15:05,400
Speaker 1: I believe Jayden is better than CJ. I don't believe

2482
02:15:05,480 --> 02:15:08,960
Speaker 1: CJ really had a regression last year. I think everything

2483
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:12,240
Speaker 1: around CJ became more difficult. I more meant like in

2484
02:15:12,320 --> 02:15:15,560
Speaker 1: the perception because everybody thought a year ago that the

2485
02:15:15,600 --> 02:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Texans were about to leap forward and be on the

2486
02:15:17,560 --> 02:15:19,560
Speaker 1: same level as the Chiefs, and that didn't happen. I

2487
02:15:19,600 --> 02:15:21,880
Speaker 1: don't think that CJ's fault. It just didn't happen. I

2488
02:15:21,960 --> 02:15:24,280
Speaker 1: think Washington this year, you know, a lot of people

2489
02:15:24,320 --> 02:15:25,880
Speaker 1: want to put them on the same level as like,

2490
02:15:26,440 --> 02:15:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, consistently, Hey, this is going to be the

2491
02:15:28,280 --> 02:15:30,680
Speaker 1: class of the the NFC. I think they're going to

2492
02:15:30,720 --> 02:15:33,120
Speaker 1: be the very good of the NFC. I just don't think.

2493
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:35,320
Speaker 1: I think the perception is a little ahead of where

2494
02:15:35,320 --> 02:15:37,160
Speaker 1: the team's going to be. But I still think, Yeah,

2495
02:15:37,240 --> 02:15:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Jayden is not just a star, He's an

2496
02:15:39,880 --> 02:15:41,040
Speaker 1: absolute damn superstar.

2497
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm completely with you. And let's finished the division

2498
02:15:46,520 --> 02:15:52,640
Speaker 2: with the Giants and it's about when is it Jackson

2499
02:15:52,760 --> 02:15:57,800
Speaker 2: dark time? Look, their defense I think actually be pretty

2500
02:15:57,840 --> 02:16:02,920
Speaker 2: decent they they're a team. I think it's important for

2501
02:16:04,040 --> 02:16:08,560
Speaker 2: them to finish on an upswing. Like you know they're

2502
02:16:08,680 --> 02:16:11,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna dure a four to five win team, right,

2503
02:16:11,400 --> 02:16:14,480
Speaker 2: but they got to finish on the upswing. My question

2504
02:16:14,680 --> 02:16:16,720
Speaker 2: is when do you make the move to Dart.

2505
02:16:18,320 --> 02:16:20,960
Speaker 1: If I was running the organization, I'd start Jackson Dart

2506
02:16:21,160 --> 02:16:23,560
Speaker 1: day one. And here's the only reason. Because we just

2507
02:16:23,600 --> 02:16:27,080
Speaker 1: talked about letting quarterbacks watch. I don't think Brian Dabole

2508
02:16:27,160 --> 02:16:29,760
Speaker 1: can win enough games to save his job. And if

2509
02:16:29,840 --> 02:16:32,320
Speaker 1: they wait until week ten or eleven or twelve, which

2510
02:16:32,360 --> 02:16:34,280
Speaker 1: would make the most sense to put Jackson Dart in,

2511
02:16:34,800 --> 02:16:37,880
Speaker 1: he's going to have to be immediately so good that

2512
02:16:38,040 --> 02:16:39,600
Speaker 1: they decide they want to keep the coach in the

2513
02:16:39,680 --> 02:16:42,920
Speaker 1: quarterback together. So frankly, I don't think that's likely. I

2514
02:16:42,959 --> 02:16:44,959
Speaker 1: think there's just like a progression that has to happen.

2515
02:16:45,240 --> 02:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Give me as much time on task with that progression.

2516
02:16:47,920 --> 02:16:49,840
Speaker 1: So if I'm dable, the only way I'm saving my

2517
02:16:49,959 --> 02:16:52,080
Speaker 1: job is we won five games. But look at Jackson

2518
02:16:52,160 --> 02:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Dart week one versus Week seventeen, and you can see

2519
02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:57,800
Speaker 1: we've found the Mets magical special sauce. We don't want

2520
02:16:57,840 --> 02:16:59,600
Speaker 1: to mess that up. We're gonna do a second year

2521
02:16:59,680 --> 02:17:01,920
Speaker 1: in that together. Like, I think that's the only sales

2522
02:17:01,959 --> 02:17:04,400
Speaker 1: pitch that even remotely has a chance to keep his job.

2523
02:17:04,480 --> 02:17:07,040
Speaker 1: So I think he should start week one for the

2524
02:17:07,120 --> 02:17:10,039
Speaker 1: development of the player long term, man, I'd let him

2525
02:17:10,040 --> 02:17:12,920
Speaker 1: sit as long as humanly possible and just learn behind it.

2526
02:17:13,080 --> 02:17:15,520
Speaker 1: Because this team, the Giants, are not going to be good,

2527
02:17:15,760 --> 02:17:17,480
Speaker 1: so I don't want to roll them out there and

2528
02:17:17,560 --> 02:17:21,280
Speaker 1: have him just get absolutely beat down. But inevitably there

2529
02:17:21,320 --> 02:17:24,560
Speaker 1: are certain inevitabilities. I am. I feel like we're watching

2530
02:17:24,600 --> 02:17:26,440
Speaker 1: the Bears all over again. It's gonna be a different

2531
02:17:26,480 --> 02:17:28,600
Speaker 1: head coach with the different offensive mind, and it's all

2532
02:17:28,640 --> 02:17:30,680
Speaker 1: going to be how do we maximize Jackson Dart a

2533
02:17:30,800 --> 02:17:31,360
Speaker 1: year from now?

2534
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't play him until the last, you know,

2535
02:17:35,240 --> 02:17:39,560
Speaker 2: until the end of November December, and I would just

2536
02:17:39,680 --> 02:17:43,240
Speaker 2: let him let him go. Then I try to hold

2537
02:17:43,280 --> 02:17:45,880
Speaker 2: him back as much as possible. I'm with you. I

2538
02:17:46,400 --> 02:17:49,000
Speaker 2: think it's it's it's I mean, that's the vital thing

2539
02:17:49,120 --> 02:17:52,720
Speaker 2: to end strong and show promise with him all right,

2540
02:17:52,720 --> 02:17:54,920
Speaker 2: where the fellas will continue going to round the league

2553
02:18:42,560 --> 02:18:46,200
Speaker 2: The biggest questions from each team. Uh, let's go to

2554
02:18:46,320 --> 02:18:49,800
Speaker 2: the NFC North. We touched on it. But the the

2555
02:18:49,840 --> 02:18:53,240
Speaker 2: biggest question to the Vikings we're gonna look at today.

2556
02:18:53,720 --> 02:18:59,720
Speaker 2: JAJ is a huge, huge question for a team that

2557
02:18:59,879 --> 02:19:03,760
Speaker 2: is as a terrific coach on both sides of the ball.

2558
02:19:03,840 --> 02:19:07,600
Speaker 2: Binds you because I like Flories too. They are they're

2559
02:19:07,800 --> 02:19:12,039
Speaker 2: ready to win, but is their quarterback ready to play?

2560
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:17,400
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, it's wild to me. It is

2561
02:19:17,640 --> 02:19:21,720
Speaker 1: absolutely wild to me to be in your super Bowl

2562
02:19:21,760 --> 02:19:25,760
Speaker 1: window and be in this situation and I get it.

2563
02:19:25,879 --> 02:19:28,800
Speaker 1: This is you and I talked a lot about this

2564
02:19:28,920 --> 02:19:31,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and boy did I

2565
02:19:31,320 --> 02:19:34,200
Speaker 1: get just destroyed on social media by Vikings fans that

2566
02:19:34,560 --> 02:19:36,800
Speaker 1: kept saying, hey, we saw the end of the season.

2567
02:19:36,879 --> 02:19:38,960
Speaker 1: We don't want that back, We don't want Sam Darnold back,

2568
02:19:39,040 --> 02:19:41,400
Speaker 1: like this is this is what every fan base does.

2569
02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:45,240
Speaker 1: And look, I as a Raiders fan, I watched the

2570
02:19:45,480 --> 02:19:48,199
Speaker 1: entire fan base talk about how just hot and garbage

2571
02:19:48,240 --> 02:19:50,840
Speaker 1: Derek Carr was during his entire career. And I'm not

2572
02:19:50,879 --> 02:19:53,360
Speaker 1: saying Derek Carr was a life beater, but then you

2573
02:19:53,959 --> 02:19:57,440
Speaker 1: you absolutely lived through a year of Aidan O'Connell and

2574
02:19:57,520 --> 02:19:59,640
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew and suddenly you're like, oh no, that not

2575
02:19:59,760 --> 02:20:02,400
Speaker 1: that sucks right, Like and what are Saints fans going

2576
02:20:02,400 --> 02:20:04,400
Speaker 1: through now? Like they were all like finally, good riddance,

2577
02:20:04,400 --> 02:20:06,120
Speaker 1: get rid of the bum, and now it's like, we

2578
02:20:06,320 --> 02:20:09,560
Speaker 1: might not have a quarterback, like, god forbid, JJ McCarthy

2579
02:20:09,640 --> 02:20:12,800
Speaker 1: even get a hang nail. Sam Howell is the backup

2580
02:20:12,959 --> 02:20:16,080
Speaker 1: like Brett Rippon. We feel good about this, Like you're

2581
02:20:16,160 --> 02:20:19,400
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl window and you are just rolling

2582
02:20:19,480 --> 02:20:22,440
Speaker 1: the dice here with the quarterback that, my god, he

2583
02:20:22,640 --> 02:20:25,920
Speaker 1: might have rust issues, he might have injury issues. You

2584
02:20:25,959 --> 02:20:28,360
Speaker 1: don't know and then even if none of that happens,

2585
02:20:28,959 --> 02:20:31,680
Speaker 1: he's never played a meaningful snap in a real NFL game, Like,

2586
02:20:31,760 --> 02:20:34,400
Speaker 1: what if he just isn't good? Like I root for

2587
02:20:34,440 --> 02:20:37,560
Speaker 1: every player to succeed, but what if, just what if

2588
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:40,320
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy is like ninety percent of the quarterbacks that

2589
02:20:40,360 --> 02:20:42,560
Speaker 1: are drafted and he's just a bust. If that's the

2590
02:20:42,680 --> 02:20:45,160
Speaker 1: case in the middle of your Super Bowl window, you

2591
02:20:45,320 --> 02:20:47,039
Speaker 1: have absolutely screwed yourselves.

2592
02:20:47,360 --> 02:20:53,560
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep, yep. I woy it is. Let's go

2593
02:20:53,760 --> 02:20:57,040
Speaker 2: to the Lions And obviously the big question mark is

2594
02:20:57,240 --> 02:21:01,360
Speaker 2: more the coaching staff and losing both coordinators.

2595
02:21:02,680 --> 02:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Well, and the Lions lost a bunch of their offensive

2596
02:21:05,440 --> 02:21:10,240
Speaker 1: line too. I'm wow, they met are losing that guy.

2597
02:21:11,360 --> 02:21:17,040
Speaker 1: It's just that that was a stunter hit when he retired. Man,

2598
02:21:17,160 --> 02:21:20,120
Speaker 1: that was bad. Yeah, one hundred percent. You lose your

2599
02:21:20,200 --> 02:21:22,400
Speaker 1: center and you have one of the best offensive lines

2600
02:21:22,440 --> 02:21:24,440
Speaker 1: in the league last year. Now you have a new

2601
02:21:24,480 --> 02:21:27,240
Speaker 1: and go back again to quarterback. One thing Jared Goff

2602
02:21:27,360 --> 02:21:30,800
Speaker 1: was saying during that show was how important it is

2603
02:21:30,840 --> 02:21:32,440
Speaker 1: that you and your play caller be on the same

2604
02:21:32,520 --> 02:21:34,080
Speaker 1: page at all times, Like you got to know what's

2605
02:21:34,120 --> 02:21:35,720
Speaker 1: coming on he knew scuttle Butt was going to be

2606
02:21:35,760 --> 02:21:37,480
Speaker 1: the call, and he's like, give me scuttle butt, And

2607
02:21:37,520 --> 02:21:39,119
Speaker 1: then he got scuttle butt and they made a big

2608
02:21:39,160 --> 02:21:42,320
Speaker 1: deal about it in the episode, and I kept thinking, Yeah,

2609
02:21:42,480 --> 02:21:45,360
Speaker 1: those are the little things that are just naturally going

2610
02:21:45,440 --> 02:21:48,039
Speaker 1: to be different this year. So I look, I think

2611
02:21:48,080 --> 02:21:50,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks for the Lions too. Frankly,

2612
02:21:50,520 --> 02:21:53,279
Speaker 1: like you saw it in Philly, you don't always replace

2613
02:21:53,320 --> 02:21:55,840
Speaker 1: all your coordinators and have it go swimmingly well, right,

2614
02:21:55,959 --> 02:21:58,960
Speaker 1: So I just I have a hard time just assuming

2615
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:01,080
Speaker 1: that everything just can take use right down that path

2616
02:22:01,160 --> 02:22:02,160
Speaker 1: of glory for the Lions.

2617
02:22:02,959 --> 02:22:05,400
Speaker 2: You know, I hear you, and Rag now was a

2618
02:22:05,520 --> 02:22:08,320
Speaker 2: huge loss and and you're right, it's why I brought

2619
02:22:08,440 --> 02:22:14,360
Speaker 2: the coordinators. You know, I'm a day Campbell guy. I

2620
02:22:14,520 --> 02:22:18,480
Speaker 2: do think he gets it right. They have a lot

2621
02:22:18,520 --> 02:22:22,080
Speaker 2: of talent. I think ultimately they're going to get it right.

2622
02:22:22,400 --> 02:22:28,600
Speaker 2: I do uh uhhers. I like the Packers. I love

2623
02:22:28,720 --> 02:22:30,840
Speaker 2: Golden by the way. I think Golden's going to be

2624
02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:35,520
Speaker 2: a real big deal in this league. My my thing

2625
02:22:35,600 --> 02:22:39,520
Speaker 2: with you is too twofold one. Are they good enough

2626
02:22:39,640 --> 02:22:43,000
Speaker 2: on the on the defensive side of the ball and

2627
02:22:43,760 --> 02:22:48,640
Speaker 2: Who is Jordan Love? Which Jordan Love? Will we see?

2628
02:22:48,920 --> 02:22:51,400
Speaker 2: Which is the biggest question? Yeah?

2629
02:22:51,440 --> 02:22:55,840
Speaker 1: And I think, honestly, the funny thing right now, if

2630
02:22:55,879 --> 02:22:57,560
Speaker 1: I had to add, if I had to bet my

2631
02:22:57,600 --> 02:23:01,080
Speaker 1: house on what the most overrated vision and football will

2632
02:23:01,120 --> 02:23:03,320
Speaker 1: be this year, it is actually the NFC North because

2633
02:23:03,360 --> 02:23:07,320
Speaker 1: I think there's just a staggering for the Lions, for

2634
02:23:07,400 --> 02:23:11,119
Speaker 1: the Vikings. For the Bears. I don't have as many

2635
02:23:11,200 --> 02:23:14,400
Speaker 1: question marks. The prove it elements for the Packers are

2636
02:23:14,440 --> 02:23:19,080
Speaker 1: certainly there, but man, if you're weighing that against new coordinators,

2637
02:23:19,120 --> 02:23:21,560
Speaker 1: offensive line change, a quarterback that I can't trust at all,

2638
02:23:21,600 --> 02:23:24,400
Speaker 1: in an entirely new everything for the Bears, I think

2639
02:23:24,400 --> 02:23:26,240
Speaker 1: the Packers are going to win this division just because

2640
02:23:26,240 --> 02:23:27,440
Speaker 1: they have the least question marks.

2641
02:23:27,879 --> 02:23:31,000
Speaker 2: What Now, that's wild man.

2642
02:23:31,160 --> 02:23:34,000
Speaker 1: Now you know that I've been particularly tough a lot

2643
02:23:34,160 --> 02:23:36,520
Speaker 1: on Jordan Love. So I'm just saying, like, you know,

2644
02:23:36,640 --> 02:23:39,119
Speaker 1: it's just for me. Yeah, I'm in on this one.

2645
02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:42,440
Speaker 2: Wow, that's wild. I love the North. I'd be I

2646
02:23:42,520 --> 02:23:46,640
Speaker 2: great you with McCarthy, But I think the Packers are

2647
02:23:46,680 --> 02:23:49,000
Speaker 2: going to be good. I like the Lions a lot.

2648
02:23:50,360 --> 02:23:53,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bears should be interesting, you know, there's

2649
02:23:53,720 --> 02:23:57,280
Speaker 2: quarterback questions there too, about Caleb and whether or not

2650
02:23:58,360 --> 02:24:04,720
Speaker 2: that Caleb and Ben Johnson can they You know, Ben

2651
02:24:04,800 --> 02:24:08,480
Speaker 2: Johnson expects a lot from his quarterback. Is Caleb going

2652
02:24:08,560 --> 02:24:09,160
Speaker 2: to put the work in?

2653
02:24:10,520 --> 02:24:13,720
Speaker 1: And what does that language look like? You again, you

2654
02:24:13,800 --> 02:24:16,480
Speaker 1: have a first time head coach, Like, there are gonna

2655
02:24:16,480 --> 02:24:20,920
Speaker 1: be adjustments for Ben in presumption anyway, right, and as

2656
02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:23,400
Speaker 1: he adjusts and then has to translate, Like we've all

2657
02:24:23,520 --> 02:24:27,040
Speaker 1: seen the footage of Caleb that's looked really bad in

2658
02:24:27,200 --> 02:24:30,880
Speaker 1: the training camp portion of this season. I'm not panicking

2659
02:24:30,920 --> 02:24:33,600
Speaker 1: about that. But I'm also not not panicking. I mean,

2660
02:24:34,560 --> 02:24:36,560
Speaker 1: we have to see all of this come together. We

2661
02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:38,080
Speaker 1: have to figure out if they can get rid of

2662
02:24:38,160 --> 02:24:39,560
Speaker 1: some of the problems you and I have talked about

2663
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:43,960
Speaker 1: endlessly for Caleb. Also, Ben Johnson's gonna have to adjust

2664
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:47,360
Speaker 1: to being a head coach that that is, an offensive

2665
02:24:47,400 --> 02:24:49,680
Speaker 1: minded head coach instead of just an offensive coordinator. Like,

2666
02:24:49,720 --> 02:24:52,360
Speaker 1: there's so much adjustment there. I hope it works out

2667
02:24:52,360 --> 02:24:54,480
Speaker 1: at all. On paper looks really good, but man, I

2668
02:24:54,520 --> 02:24:56,320
Speaker 1: don't trust any of that to actually see it for

2669
02:24:56,360 --> 02:24:56,760
Speaker 1: a second.

2670
02:24:57,440 --> 02:25:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I just I guess I'm

2671
02:25:01,800 --> 02:25:05,440
Speaker 2: more I like the I think the division is good.

2672
02:25:05,920 --> 02:25:08,720
Speaker 2: If you said, if I said to you, which division?

2673
02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:14,040
Speaker 2: If if the NFC North is overrated, which division do

2674
02:25:14,160 --> 02:25:15,600
Speaker 2: you like in the NFC?

2675
02:25:18,320 --> 02:25:21,760
Speaker 1: I think the West is going to be good. Yeah, yeah,

2676
02:25:21,840 --> 02:25:25,200
Speaker 1: I do. I mean Arizona was quiet last year, but

2677
02:25:25,280 --> 02:25:27,640
Speaker 1: they were still almost a five hundred team and again and.

2678
02:25:27,640 --> 02:25:29,760
Speaker 2: Still well, let's go, let's go, let's go to let's

2679
02:25:29,800 --> 02:25:32,160
Speaker 2: go out West then, and let's look at this scene.

2680
02:25:32,160 --> 02:25:34,680
Speaker 2: If you brought up Arizona, we'll start with them. Uh,

2681
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:37,959
Speaker 2: are you listen to the same crew man, You're you're

2682
02:25:37,959 --> 02:25:43,800
Speaker 2: bringing everybody Kyler? It like, yeah, are you buying Kyler?

2683
02:25:45,160 --> 02:25:50,520
Speaker 2: And you know, I think it's a fair question. Yeah,

2684
02:25:51,240 --> 02:25:53,400
Speaker 2: Like is he really a playoff quarterback?

2685
02:25:54,600 --> 02:25:56,640
Speaker 1: He's not a super Bowl quarterback, but I think he

2686
02:25:56,720 --> 02:25:59,520
Speaker 1: can be enough to get them, Like, yes, I think

2687
02:25:59,520 --> 02:26:01,160
Speaker 1: he can be enough to get them to where they

2688
02:26:01,240 --> 02:26:04,160
Speaker 1: need to be. If the Cardinals are sort of stuck

2689
02:26:04,879 --> 02:26:08,520
Speaker 1: in mediocrity right now, but I think we perceive them

2690
02:26:08,600 --> 02:26:11,160
Speaker 1: as stuck in suck and they're not in the sea

2691
02:26:11,200 --> 02:26:13,400
Speaker 1: of suck. Marvin Harrison Junior. I think takes a little

2692
02:26:13,440 --> 02:26:16,840
Speaker 1: move forward this year too, So they the Cardinals started

2693
02:26:16,879 --> 02:26:18,800
Speaker 1: hot last year and the wheels fell off late in

2694
02:26:18,840 --> 02:26:20,480
Speaker 1: the year, which is sort of what happens to Kyler

2695
02:26:20,560 --> 02:26:22,880
Speaker 1: Murray every year. I get that, but I like them

2696
02:26:22,959 --> 02:26:24,840
Speaker 1: to be able to be at least like I think

2697
02:26:24,879 --> 02:26:27,760
Speaker 1: they're a fringe playoff team going into this season. And

2698
02:26:27,879 --> 02:26:31,200
Speaker 1: by the way, the NFC North is overrated doesn't mean

2699
02:26:31,240 --> 02:26:32,879
Speaker 1: I think these teams are gonna suck. I just think

2700
02:26:32,959 --> 02:26:35,000
Speaker 1: we presume that they're all going to be twelve win teams,

2701
02:26:35,040 --> 02:26:36,400
Speaker 1: and I think you got a lot of nine to

2702
02:26:36,440 --> 02:26:38,400
Speaker 1: ten wins. So we go ahead on the NFC North

2703
02:26:38,560 --> 02:26:39,320
Speaker 1: or NFC West.

2704
02:26:39,800 --> 02:26:44,440
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the Rams where the biggest

2705
02:26:44,520 --> 02:26:47,880
Speaker 2: question mark is Stafford's back and will this be a

2706
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:49,400
Speaker 2: Jimmy g situation?

2707
02:26:50,240 --> 02:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, I also think though to that point,

2708
02:26:54,080 --> 02:26:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, DeVante Adams, think about over a thousand yards

2709
02:26:57,760 --> 02:26:59,960
Speaker 1: receiving with some of the worst quarterback play you could

2710
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:03,320
Speaker 1: ever imagined last year, I got Deavante still got a

2711
02:27:03,360 --> 02:27:04,840
Speaker 1: lot left in the tank. I think that's a big

2712
02:27:04,879 --> 02:27:07,440
Speaker 1: pick up for them. They pay Hiram Williams for a reason,

2713
02:27:07,680 --> 02:27:09,520
Speaker 1: and that defense has gotten so much better.

2714
02:27:09,600 --> 02:27:11,560
Speaker 2: Side front seven is really good.

2715
02:27:11,800 --> 02:27:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm I'm in on all of this.

2716
02:27:14,680 --> 02:27:17,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I I I will take that all day,

2717
02:27:17,440 --> 02:27:19,600
Speaker 1: every day. I like the Rams a lot this year.

2718
02:27:21,640 --> 02:27:25,640
Speaker 2: What are you worried about Stafford's back at all? Yeah?

2719
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean old dudes' backs don't get better, you know

2720
02:27:29,080 --> 02:27:31,840
Speaker 1: what I mean. So yeah, I'm a little worried. Certainly,

2721
02:27:31,879 --> 02:27:33,800
Speaker 1: if it's Jimmy G's team, I don't feel as good

2722
02:27:33,800 --> 02:27:36,120
Speaker 1: about it. But I just keep trusting that that'll get

2723
02:27:36,160 --> 02:27:39,000
Speaker 1: figured out. Man. I'm I'm certainly. I think there's plenty

2724
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:40,640
Speaker 1: of teams right now that are glad they didn't trade

2725
02:27:40,640 --> 02:27:42,880
Speaker 1: a first round pick, as was reported was the asking

2726
02:27:43,000 --> 02:27:45,680
Speaker 1: price for you know, Stafford a few months ago, because

2727
02:27:45,879 --> 02:27:48,560
Speaker 1: this is this, it would be catastrophic for their Super

2728
02:27:48,600 --> 02:27:49,680
Speaker 1: Bowl hopes if he's out.

2729
02:27:50,720 --> 02:27:55,240
Speaker 2: Uh A lot of love more than Niners. I don't know.

2730
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it.

2731
02:27:57,080 --> 02:28:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not either. Like I had somebody tell me, dude,

2732
02:28:00,560 --> 02:28:03,760
Speaker 2: don't sleep bottom. I get shy in the hand to

2733
02:28:03,800 --> 02:28:06,200
Speaker 2: get the whole thing. But let's be real here for

2734
02:28:06,240 --> 02:28:08,280
Speaker 2: a second. They lost a lot, and who's catching a

2735
02:28:08,360 --> 02:28:10,840
Speaker 2: ball for him? Uttered at Piersoll.

2736
02:28:11,640 --> 02:28:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, at some point, the injury

2737
02:28:15,600 --> 02:28:17,640
Speaker 1: thing that everybody keeps talking about well, they lost so

2738
02:28:17,720 --> 02:28:20,320
Speaker 1: many games to injury. What if that's just who they are? Like,

2739
02:28:20,440 --> 02:28:22,440
Speaker 1: what if Christian McCaffrey just isn't a guy that you

2740
02:28:22,520 --> 02:28:25,120
Speaker 1: can play for seventeen games anymore? What if you know

2741
02:28:25,600 --> 02:28:28,320
Speaker 1: you've got less when you look at the weapons around

2742
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:31,240
Speaker 1: Brock party who I happen to. I happen to like Brock,

2743
02:28:31,320 --> 02:28:34,280
Speaker 1: but you have less weapons around him. Health issues I

2744
02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:35,680
Speaker 1: think are part of an older team.

2745
02:28:36,320 --> 02:28:36,440
Speaker 2: Man.

2746
02:28:36,520 --> 02:28:38,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot that just makes me really the jump

2747
02:28:38,920 --> 02:28:41,200
Speaker 1: from six wins to all of a sudden Vegas has

2748
02:28:41,280 --> 02:28:43,280
Speaker 1: them as the favorite at ten and a half. I

2749
02:28:43,440 --> 02:28:45,959
Speaker 1: just I don't see that jump. I think the forty

2750
02:28:46,040 --> 02:28:47,879
Speaker 1: nine ers are likely to be okay and not great.

2751
02:28:49,320 --> 02:28:55,360
Speaker 2: And then that Lea's the Seahawks, who you know, perfect

2752
02:28:55,400 --> 02:29:00,000
Speaker 2: situation you said it. Quarterback was in a perfect situation

2753
02:29:00,600 --> 02:29:05,080
Speaker 2: last year. Not gonna be as perfect in Seattle. And

2754
02:29:05,200 --> 02:29:10,040
Speaker 2: by the way, yeah, not as cushy in that stadium

2755
02:29:10,080 --> 02:29:11,039
Speaker 2: as it isn't that dome.

2756
02:29:12,280 --> 02:29:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, doesn't make you a little nervous, you know,

2757
02:29:15,920 --> 02:29:22,080
Speaker 1: like they were comfortable letting Gino walk and they're man.

2758
02:29:22,240 --> 02:29:25,280
Speaker 1: But year two under Mike McDaniel, Mike McDonald, sorry, you

2759
02:29:25,320 --> 02:29:29,240
Speaker 1: got too many McDaniels. McDonald's, uh, the Doobie brother head coach.

2760
02:29:29,680 --> 02:29:31,880
Speaker 1: They're in U two with that defense. I think the

2761
02:29:31,920 --> 02:29:33,880
Speaker 1: defense takes a big step forward. I keep going back

2762
02:29:33,879 --> 02:29:36,280
Speaker 1: to Ravens players when he was a defensive coordinator there.

2763
02:29:36,320 --> 02:29:37,840
Speaker 1: Talked a lot about how it took a couple of

2764
02:29:37,959 --> 02:29:40,440
Speaker 1: years to figure that system out. That defense is going

2765
02:29:40,520 --> 02:29:41,920
Speaker 1: to be a lot better. And I love their running

2766
02:29:41,959 --> 02:29:43,840
Speaker 1: back room. So I just I think they're going to

2767
02:29:43,840 --> 02:29:47,120
Speaker 1: be an ugly football team that just wins ugly games

2768
02:29:47,200 --> 02:29:48,920
Speaker 1: week in and week out. And we're sitting there saying,

2769
02:29:48,920 --> 02:29:50,440
Speaker 1: how the hell did they do that with that little

2770
02:29:50,480 --> 02:29:51,800
Speaker 1: production at the quarterback position?

2771
02:29:52,800 --> 02:29:57,680
Speaker 2: All right, quickly to the South. I fit the South.

2772
02:29:57,760 --> 02:30:00,640
Speaker 2: I think we all listen. I like Tampa. I know

2773
02:30:00,720 --> 02:30:03,920
Speaker 2: they got some old line issues, but I do like Tampa.

2774
02:30:04,120 --> 02:30:06,920
Speaker 2: But Todd Bowles man, I think he's a good coach.

2775
02:30:07,560 --> 02:30:13,520
Speaker 2: Baker's Baker's a dude, And everyone's everywhere saying Baker's a dude,

2776
02:30:13,600 --> 02:30:14,960
Speaker 2: and they got tons of weapons.

2777
02:30:16,160 --> 02:30:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're a thousand percent right, Baker is

2778
02:30:19,280 --> 02:30:22,480
Speaker 1: a dude. Like at some point, I don't think Dave

2779
02:30:22,560 --> 02:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Canalis is a dude. I don't think Liam Cohen is

2780
02:30:25,160 --> 02:30:28,360
Speaker 1: a dude. Baker is a dude maker at this point,

2781
02:30:28,480 --> 02:30:31,840
Speaker 1: Like there is no doubt that whatever Baker has been

2782
02:30:31,920 --> 02:30:36,000
Speaker 1: before is not who Baker is now. I strongly believe

2783
02:30:36,120 --> 02:30:38,240
Speaker 1: that this Tampa Bay I think this Tampa Bay team

2784
02:30:38,520 --> 02:30:41,000
Speaker 1: could actually turn around and be a Super Bowl competitor

2785
02:30:41,080 --> 02:30:42,000
Speaker 1: by the end of the season.

2786
02:30:43,000 --> 02:30:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you if they could. The old line

2787
02:30:46,200 --> 02:30:50,000
Speaker 2: is their biggest question mark, and if that thing could

2788
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:52,960
Speaker 2: come together. I mean with their weapons, they got, you know,

2789
02:30:53,160 --> 02:30:58,720
Speaker 2: four legit receivers they have. I love Bucky Irving, good

2790
02:30:58,800 --> 02:31:03,960
Speaker 2: tight end, uh well coach defensively, So I'm with you

2791
02:31:05,200 --> 02:31:11,160
Speaker 2: all right, Atlanta, the Mysterious Falcons. I think we both

2792
02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:18,160
Speaker 2: like Panis. They got some good skill people. Yeah, can

2793
02:31:18,240 --> 02:31:23,920
Speaker 2: they block up front? And what's their defense like, which

2794
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:24,920
Speaker 2: was not good last year?

2795
02:31:25,760 --> 02:31:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with all of that, really good assessment.

2796
02:31:29,760 --> 02:31:33,119
Speaker 1: I am not a non believer in Penix.

2797
02:31:33,680 --> 02:31:34,240
Speaker 2: I am just.

2798
02:31:35,040 --> 02:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Lukewarm on the amount of praise we're heaping on a

2799
02:31:37,320 --> 02:31:39,400
Speaker 1: quarterback that has less than eight hundred yards passing in

2800
02:31:39,440 --> 02:31:41,960
Speaker 1: his career. I mean, I'm gonna be consistent. What did

2801
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:44,120
Speaker 1: I say last year coming into the year, like I

2802
02:31:44,240 --> 02:31:49,800
Speaker 1: wanted to see more from from Jordan Love and we

2803
02:31:49,959 --> 02:31:51,959
Speaker 1: talked about that, like I'm a guy that's like, man,

2804
02:31:52,040 --> 02:31:54,840
Speaker 1: give me more before I buy in. I am I

2805
02:31:55,200 --> 02:31:57,200
Speaker 1: want to buy in on Michael Penick Junior. I think

2806
02:31:57,360 --> 02:31:59,320
Speaker 1: there's no reason not to want to buy in. But

2807
02:31:59,440 --> 02:32:02,080
Speaker 1: if I am the Falcons, there is not an offer

2808
02:32:02,240 --> 02:32:04,600
Speaker 1: in hell that I'm taking to let Kirk Cousins walk

2809
02:32:04,640 --> 02:32:06,560
Speaker 1: out the door, because I have no idea if I

2810
02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:10,040
Speaker 1: actually really have that, dude, there's no chance of taking

2811
02:32:10,400 --> 02:32:12,760
Speaker 1: You're right, there are other bigger issues. I would just

2812
02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:15,120
Speaker 1: say that I expect a bit more of an up

2813
02:32:15,160 --> 02:32:17,560
Speaker 1: and down year from Pennix, which I think will impact

2814
02:32:17,840 --> 02:32:20,200
Speaker 1: how good the Falcons are.

2815
02:32:20,200 --> 02:32:25,320
Speaker 2: By the end. Yeah, yeah, I'm hopeful for him. But

2816
02:32:25,360 --> 02:32:29,440
Speaker 2: I would agree, all right, let's go to uh Carolina

2817
02:32:29,560 --> 02:32:34,840
Speaker 2: real quick, Carolina. Anything we saw the risk like what

2818
02:32:34,959 --> 02:32:37,720
Speaker 2: we saw with Bryce Young toward the end of the

2819
02:32:37,840 --> 02:32:41,240
Speaker 2: year and their offense. Does that continue?

2820
02:32:42,480 --> 02:32:42,920
Speaker 1: I hope so?

2821
02:32:43,200 --> 02:32:43,480
Speaker 2: I think.

2822
02:32:43,560 --> 02:32:46,959
Speaker 1: So I feel okay about Bryce. I think we gave

2823
02:32:47,040 --> 02:32:48,560
Speaker 1: up on not we, but I think a lot of

2824
02:32:48,600 --> 02:32:51,680
Speaker 1: people gave up on Bryce quickly. I am patient enough

2825
02:32:51,720 --> 02:32:53,200
Speaker 1: to give Bryce a little bit more time. I think

2826
02:32:53,200 --> 02:32:55,880
Speaker 1: Bryce is gonna be Okay, the Panthers just aren't very good.

2827
02:32:56,400 --> 02:32:58,840
Speaker 1: That's the hard part about this. Like Bryce is not

2828
02:32:58,920 --> 02:33:00,880
Speaker 1: the guy that's gonna lift it team like Jayden did

2829
02:33:00,920 --> 02:33:04,240
Speaker 1: to ten wins. It doesn't even belong there. Bryce is

2830
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:07,360
Speaker 1: fine and the Panthers are going to be fine, but

2831
02:33:07,440 --> 02:33:09,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't get you to where the Panthers.

2832
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:11,880
Speaker 2: Want to be. Yeah. And lastly, the Saints. I mean

2833
02:33:12,160 --> 02:33:14,200
Speaker 2: it's you know what the Saints are about this year,

2834
02:33:14,320 --> 02:33:17,240
Speaker 2: So it's uh, I think David chance to be a

2835
02:33:17,320 --> 02:33:18,520
Speaker 2: one in sixteen team.

2836
02:33:19,280 --> 02:33:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And unfortunately, I don't believe Arts is coming out.

2837
02:33:22,240 --> 02:33:24,000
Speaker 1: So if your plan is a Saints fan is to

2838
02:33:24,120 --> 02:33:27,000
Speaker 1: suck for Manning, sorry, guys, I ain't gonna work. You

2839
02:33:27,040 --> 02:33:28,360
Speaker 1: don't have to do it two years in a row.

2840
02:33:28,640 --> 02:33:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they may where the Fellas back to wrap up?

2841
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:38,240
Speaker 2: Coming up next right here, Fox Sports Radio, go for Fitzy.

2853
02:34:20,920 --> 02:34:24,320
Speaker 2: All right, so let's do this, FITZI. We'll dive deeper

2854
02:34:24,360 --> 02:34:27,040
Speaker 2: into it next week. The questions from the AFC, but

2855
02:34:27,120 --> 02:34:29,760
Speaker 2: I do want you to talk about what you saw

2856
02:34:29,840 --> 02:34:33,280
Speaker 2: from your Raiders, and they kind of dive into the

2857
02:34:33,360 --> 02:34:36,400
Speaker 2: West just a little bit because we didn't talk about

2858
02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:40,000
Speaker 2: Raiders that your beloved squad. Yeah.

2859
02:34:40,120 --> 02:34:44,240
Speaker 1: Look, I mean it was less than ideal opening game.

2860
02:34:44,320 --> 02:34:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean ended in a tie, which is already funny.

2861
02:34:48,040 --> 02:34:50,879
Speaker 1: But the offensive line didn't look good, the defense couldn't tackle.

2862
02:34:50,920 --> 02:34:52,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things to be concerned about. But

2863
02:34:52,600 --> 02:34:56,520
Speaker 1: also I don't know, like it's one series, I don't

2864
02:34:56,520 --> 02:34:59,880
Speaker 1: know what everybody expected. So I have such a patient

2865
02:35:00,040 --> 02:35:02,760
Speaker 1: approach to this season. I genuinely believe the Raiders are

2866
02:35:02,840 --> 02:35:05,039
Speaker 1: like a seven win team, but they're one of those

2867
02:35:05,080 --> 02:35:06,879
Speaker 1: seven win teams that by the end of the year,

2868
02:35:06,920 --> 02:35:08,800
Speaker 1: you're like, you know what, things are trending in the

2869
02:35:08,879 --> 02:35:10,760
Speaker 1: right direction. This is a tough out and I think

2870
02:35:11,000 --> 02:35:12,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna see that the offense is going to jail.

2871
02:35:12,959 --> 02:35:15,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really good. I still think Ashton genty

2872
02:35:15,800 --> 02:35:18,680
Speaker 1: no matter three carries minus one yards, don't care. Ashton's

2873
02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna be absolutely great. I think he's a superstar. So

2874
02:35:21,840 --> 02:35:23,840
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine on that side of the ball.

2875
02:35:23,959 --> 02:35:26,320
Speaker 1: But look, it's just not a particular you don't You

2876
02:35:26,440 --> 02:35:29,960
Speaker 1: don't rehab an entire roster in one offseason more often

2877
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:33,039
Speaker 1: than not, so the process is begun. But in Pete,

2878
02:35:33,080 --> 02:35:34,720
Speaker 1: I trust, Yeah.

2879
02:35:34,800 --> 02:35:40,080
Speaker 2: I think that's that's the approach you need to have, right, Like,

2880
02:35:41,360 --> 02:35:44,520
Speaker 2: let's just say you gotta be patient and you can

2881
02:35:44,640 --> 02:35:48,680
Speaker 2: just gotta hope for as the season goes on, like

2882
02:35:48,760 --> 02:35:52,840
Speaker 2: a swifter turnaround type of thing where you could I

2883
02:35:52,879 --> 02:35:57,480
Speaker 2: think Pete Carroll could bridge a restart, rebuild type of

2884
02:35:57,560 --> 02:36:01,240
Speaker 2: thing with a with a legitimate, you know, NFL quarterback.

2885
02:36:02,240 --> 02:36:07,640
Speaker 2: So you know, like, what are your I think, what

2886
02:36:07,760 --> 02:36:11,040
Speaker 2: are your expectations or hopeful expectations.

2887
02:36:11,680 --> 02:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Like, look, if they get to eight wins, I'll be

2888
02:36:14,600 --> 02:36:18,280
Speaker 1: a static if they get to nine wins, I'm gonna

2889
02:36:18,280 --> 02:36:20,440
Speaker 1: get confetti cannons and just blow them out during the

2890
02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:23,039
Speaker 1: middle of a show, like they'll be confetti.

2891
02:36:23,360 --> 02:36:23,440
Speaker 3: Oh.

2892
02:36:23,560 --> 02:36:26,600
Speaker 1: If I get more happy Sundays than sad Sundays, that's

2893
02:36:26,640 --> 02:36:29,200
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. I think the biggest part of it is

2894
02:36:29,560 --> 02:36:32,160
Speaker 1: do you see the development they're particularly young roster. Do

2895
02:36:32,240 --> 02:36:34,200
Speaker 1: you see the development of a young roster, because at

2896
02:36:34,240 --> 02:36:35,440
Speaker 1: some point they're going to have to figure out the

2897
02:36:35,520 --> 02:36:38,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position, but that wasn't this year in the draft.

2898
02:36:38,160 --> 02:36:41,720
Speaker 1: I respect, I wholeheartedly respect the decisions. So I think

2899
02:36:41,760 --> 02:36:43,680
Speaker 1: they made the right choice and Geno gives them the

2900
02:36:43,760 --> 02:36:45,800
Speaker 1: right guy for the next two or three years. So

2901
02:36:46,240 --> 02:36:48,280
Speaker 1: you need the rest of the stuff to hit so

2902
02:36:48,400 --> 02:36:50,920
Speaker 1: that when you get a quarterback, that quarterback comes into

2903
02:36:50,959 --> 02:36:53,959
Speaker 1: a much better situation. I don't want when the Raiders

2904
02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:56,240
Speaker 1: are drafting a quarterback either next year or the year after,

2905
02:36:56,360 --> 02:36:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be a Titan situation where

2906
02:36:58,200 --> 02:37:00,520
Speaker 1: you feel like the entire roster is a dump fire

2907
02:37:00,600 --> 02:37:03,000
Speaker 1: next to him. So can they get continue to get

2908
02:37:03,040 --> 02:37:04,240
Speaker 1: more development out of young guys?

2909
02:37:05,120 --> 02:37:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think, like I think Pete knows how

2910
02:37:08,680 --> 02:37:13,680
Speaker 2: to prep prep this to cut off years of the rebuild,

2911
02:37:14,040 --> 02:37:19,680
Speaker 2: you know, to make it professional to nobody's better. You

2912
02:37:19,760 --> 02:37:23,640
Speaker 2: want to talk about a guy that develops players, develops talent.

2913
02:37:24,320 --> 02:37:28,840
Speaker 2: He's great at develop the talent. Yeah, and that's what

2914
02:37:29,040 --> 02:37:29,320
Speaker 2: you need.

2915
02:37:29,480 --> 02:37:32,920
Speaker 1: You also need somebody that can, I believe, start to

2916
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:35,840
Speaker 1: sort of set the tone for how you build for

2917
02:37:35,920 --> 02:37:38,120
Speaker 1: the future. And that's part of why you know you

2918
02:37:38,200 --> 02:37:40,080
Speaker 1: got a new GM and John spy Tech. I think

2919
02:37:40,120 --> 02:37:42,760
Speaker 1: the reason they bring in Carol in part is he's

2920
02:37:42,840 --> 02:37:44,800
Speaker 1: here to help spy Tech. See, this is how we're

2921
02:37:44,800 --> 02:37:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna build. We're gonna build an organization that is the

2922
02:37:47,040 --> 02:37:49,480
Speaker 1: gap that will be sort of bridged over the course

2923
02:37:49,520 --> 02:37:52,160
Speaker 1: of the next season too. So it'll be interesting to

2924
02:37:52,200 --> 02:37:54,160
Speaker 1: see how they continue to reshape the lineup.

2925
02:37:54,600 --> 02:37:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you brought up the Titans earlier, and you brought

2926
02:37:57,959 --> 02:38:01,040
Speaker 2: up Camp. Can I just say one thing. I meant

2927
02:38:01,040 --> 02:38:04,360
Speaker 2: to bring it up earlier, But I love cam Ward.

2928
02:38:05,760 --> 02:38:07,960
Speaker 2: There will not be a player I will root for

2929
02:38:08,360 --> 02:38:12,440
Speaker 2: more outside of the Eagles. No, but there will not

2930
02:38:12,560 --> 02:38:15,280
Speaker 2: be a player of the root for more. I love him.

2931
02:38:17,280 --> 02:38:19,440
Speaker 2: You know what he said about his father about waking

2932
02:38:19,560 --> 02:38:23,080
Speaker 2: up at four point thirty, Yeah, you know, just a

2933
02:38:23,200 --> 02:38:26,360
Speaker 2: paraphrase he's like, I watched my dad get up four

2934
02:38:26,480 --> 02:38:30,760
Speaker 2: thirty to work every day. I can get up four

2935
02:38:30,920 --> 02:38:36,480
Speaker 2: thirty to do something I love. Then he said he

2936
02:38:36,600 --> 02:38:40,560
Speaker 2: was talking about the phone and like his day and

2937
02:38:40,640 --> 02:38:44,160
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, he goes. I talked to like four

2938
02:38:44,240 --> 02:38:49,280
Speaker 2: people a day. I talked to my parents, which I

2939
02:38:49,640 --> 02:38:53,560
Speaker 2: I lots. I'm like, this kid calls his parents after're pragnice, Like,

2940
02:38:53,600 --> 02:38:57,120
Speaker 2: I love this kid. He's like my dog. He's like,

2941
02:38:57,360 --> 02:38:59,039
Speaker 2: you know, I don't talk to a lot of people

2942
02:38:59,120 --> 02:39:02,320
Speaker 2: during the course of the day. I loved that, Like,

2943
02:39:02,480 --> 02:39:07,640
Speaker 2: I just he's everything that's right about like a young player.

2944
02:39:08,480 --> 02:39:10,800
Speaker 1: He also loved the fact that he came straight out

2945
02:39:10,840 --> 02:39:13,240
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, we're mid, like efforts mid, everything's mid.

2946
02:39:13,280 --> 02:39:15,280
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't feel like we have that extra thing.

2947
02:39:15,440 --> 02:39:18,000
Speaker 1: Like I love a quarterback that from day one is

2948
02:39:18,040 --> 02:39:19,880
Speaker 1: coming in and saying, yeah, this is not the standard

2949
02:39:19,959 --> 02:39:22,120
Speaker 1: that I want. Met I really like Cam. I just

2950
02:39:22,160 --> 02:39:23,560
Speaker 1: don't trust the Titans with him.

2951
02:39:23,879 --> 02:39:27,680
Speaker 2: No, without a doubt. But I'm you know, I'm rooting

2952
02:39:27,720 --> 02:39:31,720
Speaker 2: squarely for him. So that's it. Hey, buddy, it was

2953
02:39:31,840 --> 02:39:35,480
Speaker 2: a blast to have your back, brother, like a blast.

2954
02:39:36,320 --> 02:39:38,720
Speaker 1: It felt good, felt good. The boys are reunited. The

2955
02:39:38,760 --> 02:39:39,720
