23
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, my bad. I'm human. We make mistakes, and

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: uh and yeah, let's let's dive into the show. We

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: just had a guy hired by the Denver Broncos, and

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, it felt like that

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: dan Quinn was gonna be the next head coach of Denver.

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: He had been he was friends with as I call him,

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: General Patton, the GM, and there was a connection and

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: everything on the internet. I had no inside information. I

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: would just following the internet, which is not always the

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: best thing to do. But from football Pep dan Quinn,

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, it was gonna happen. And it turns out

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: that's a media creation. Dan Quinn is still the defensive

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys, and I could never quite

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: before we dive in Aaron Rogers, it actually kind of

37
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: bothered me. It was like, why would we just saw

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: for years dan Quinn in Atlanta be a terrible head coach?

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: He lost Kyle and it was all downhill and it

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: was like, did we just forget He's a good guy.

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: Everyone I know that knows him loves the guy. I'm

42
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: not anti dan Quinn, but as a head coach, he's

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: beyond average. So and we literally just saw it like

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: it just happened twelve months ago. But one thing that

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: you know a little inside the way the business works

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: agents Unlike baseball, the average assistant coach makes like grand

47
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: in basketball. I got a couple of friends in the

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: business their assistant coaches. Besides, some of the big, big

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: ones do not make very much money in the nash

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: No Football League. Being a the average defensive coordinator in

51
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: the NFL right now is close to two million dollars.

52
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: A guy like dan Quinn might be making three. Fangio

53
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: forever make three. Zimmer is gonna make three when he

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: comes back. Wink Martin Dale was making three. Being a

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: number two in the National Football League pays a premium

56
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators. Every offensive coordinator in the NFL, and we

57
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: know a ton of head coaches called plays, so ocs

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: that don't call plays, every single one of them makes

59
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: over a million dollars. So when you see the media

60
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: freak out about these guys not getting opportunities or whatever,

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: never forget. John Madden said, coaches what they they're They're

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: people that are good at recess and listen, I'm pro coaches,

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: but these assistant coaches, most assistant coaches are not good

64
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: head coaches, would not be good head coaches and shouldn't

65
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: become head coaches. But they are not getting screwed. Every

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and every defensive coordinator makes over a million dollars.

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: A ton of them make two plus million dollars. There

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: is nothing wrong with being a number two in the

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I felt. But these agents they find these marks and

70
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: some of them, I mean schefter and rap sheet know

71
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: what they're doing, but they utilize all this stuff in

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: the ether to get more money for everyone. And it's

73
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: all just this game, and it just it can be exhausting.

74
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is not a head coach. We saw it.

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's averages. The day is long. Now are

76
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: these guys And we'll get into it a little later.

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: Is Nathaniel Hackett gonna be any good? I don't know,

78
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: but let's not pretend that dan Quinn. We don't know

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: exactly what that looks like. He's a defensive guy whose

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: defense was awful. That was defense with Dallas is good

81
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: because they got good players. Uh. So let's get into

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Uh. One thing I've learned in my thirties,

83
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: This world's ricked. It's one big game. You're either playing

84
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: it or you're getting played. And inside deals happen left

85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: and right. Actually, I just saw Sean Payton talk about

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: backroom deals happening with him right now, people reaching out

87
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: through back channels, because you'd have to go through the

88
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Saints if you wanted him to coach, talking about how

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: it would like him to be their coach. And and

90
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: most of my friends work in construction, work in farming.

91
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: But I have a lot of friends in the construction business.

92
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: And when you go to a bid, I'm sure many

93
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: people listening might be in that industry. You know, if

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: you want a project, you bid. A lot of projects

95
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: are done with inside deals. That's the way the world works.

96
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: Most people want to do business with people they know.

97
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: And like anyone listening to me right now in sales knows,

98
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: it's not really how good you are, it's how well

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: you know other people do they want to do business

100
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: with you. And when you look at Nathaniel Hackett getting

101
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: hired by the Denver Broncos, was he the best candidate? Maybe?

102
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: And listen, I come from a family. My dad was

103
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: as proud of U. C. Davis alum as you'll ever

104
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: meet in your entire life. He would have been so

105
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: fired up today that a guy from U. C. Davis

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: is the head coach of the Denver Broncos. It would

107
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: have been My dad took so much pride in Chris Peterson,

108
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: a Davis guy that was in college football at Boise State.

109
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how excited he would be for for

110
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett, whose dad was a Bill Walsh's disciple and work.

111
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: So this guy comes from a football family, but this

112
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: was done like let's just call the elephant in the room.

113
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: It happens all the time in college basketball. You hire

114
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: someone's brother to be on your staff because that guy's

115
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: brother is Kevin Durant, that guy's brother is Clay Thompson,

116
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: that guy's brother is Derrick Ross. That's the way college

117
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: basketball has worked forever, and it's notoriously known. Of all

118
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the sports, the NBA, the NFL, college football, every single one,

119
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: college basketball has always been the shadiest because they always

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: do these inside deals. Well, inside deals usually means you

121
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: get what you want right, whether you like it or not.

122
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: That is the way the world works, So you can't

123
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: convince me. Aaron Rodgers last year was pounding his chest

124
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: that this guy should be a head coach in the league.

125
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: And think about when they hired Matt Lafleur. Matt Lafleur

126
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: was coming from Tennessee where they underwhelmed offensively. Now looking back,

127
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: it was Mariota. You know, maybe it just might have

128
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: been his quarterback wasn't that great. But what did Matt

129
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: Lafleur represent. He was the opposite of McCarthy. He was young,

130
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: he was intellectual, he was an intelligent guy. He could

131
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: relate to Aaron Rodgers on a different level. Didn't let's

132
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: face it, meathead McCarthy. Like Aaron Rodgers did not see

133
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: eyed I with the meathead. They wanted to get more

134
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: of an intellectual, a guy that Aaron viewed closer to

135
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: his level. And Nathaniel Hackett one thing again, back to

136
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: my dad. Do you see Davis guys Like my dad

137
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: was a farmer, but he, like most of his friends

138
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: were Davis guys, their businessmen, but their intellectual elitists. They

139
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: just kind of think they're smarter than people. Because it's very,

140
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: very hard to get into U C. Davis. It is

141
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: a high level academic school. So to go to school there,

142
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: and especially to do well there, you have to be intelligent.

143
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm just a state school guy. I got in there

144
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: because I was born and raised there. I was not

145
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: U C. Davis necessarily material, just like I wasn't I

146
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: didn't get into any U S, S, U C, L A. Cal.

147
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: They all told me to kick rocks like they don't

148
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: like guys like me. So my dad always actually looked

149
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: down at me because I was a state school guy

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and he was a UC guy. Because these guys, they're

151
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: intellect they're bright. My dad's way smarter than me than

152
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: I ever was there whoever will be. And I think

153
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett and Aaron Rodgers saw it. I just like

154
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Matt Lafloorin Aaron Rodgers, who clearly have a pretty good relationship.

155
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers values whatever you think about him, being around

156
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: smart people, and because that's what he views himself as.

157
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: Where did he go to school? Now, he was a

158
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: j C transfer, but he went to the number one

159
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: public university, not in Cali, Fornia, not on the West coast,

160
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: not in America, in the world. It's called CAL Berkeley

161
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: Now they might hide in trees and poop out of

162
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: trees when they are protesting, and they do some weird ship.

163
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: I have nothing in common with people there, but when

164
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: you step on that campus, you get some of the

165
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: most brilliant people in the world. Now, just because you're brilliant,

166
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: We've talked before that doesn't always translate to success. For Rogers,

167
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: it has and for a lot of historically coaching in football,

168
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Belichick Walsh, the smartest guys are the best, so they

169
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: hired that Nate Nathaniel Hackett. I think the speculation is

170
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: often running that Aaron Rodgers is gonna be a Denver Bronco.

171
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: And the way he did his contract, he controls if

172
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: he wants to go there. I will be stunned if

173
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't end up there. And I've seen a lot

174
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter it's like, why would he leave the Green

175
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. I've been saying that over and over. Why

176
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: it's he wins every year, he's the number one seed.

177
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just over it. Like I got news for you,

178
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I would if you told me right now you can

179
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: make for already eight million dollars regardless where you live.

180
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Would you rather live in Cherry Hills where John Elway

181
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning have called home. Peyton Manning, remember left

182
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: from Indianapolis, went to Denver for four years. Do you

183
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: know what he's done? He never left? Why? Because Denver

184
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: is a badass place to live. So this notion of like,

185
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: why would you want to go through Mahomes and Herbert,

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't give a ship, He doesn't think like that,

187
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: he doesn't care. He wants to go to Denver with

188
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: this guy. I think he's over Green Bay, period, point blank.

189
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: And they did this because clearly everyone was acting like

190
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: they were gonna get dan Quinn. Well maybe they would have,

191
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: and they realized the way we get Rogers higher this guy.

192
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: And now it feels like either Aaron Rodgers gonna retire,

193
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna go to the Denver Broncos. Could be wrong.

194
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays out. Now there are some

195
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: like could they get Davantae Adams to wait? They don't.

196
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Trade seventeen first round picks?

197
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: I think you're only allowed to trade four at one time,

198
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: which has never been done. But I can't go there yet.

199
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: But right now, if I was a betting man, Aaron

200
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers will play for Hackett and be a Denver Bronco

201
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: next year. Is that the right move big picture football wise,

202
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: I would say probably not. He has a much easier

203
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: path in Green Bay. I don't put much stock into

204
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: the sewer over the salary cap cut some players. It's

205
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. The salary cap goes up every year. You

206
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: can manipulate money, you can push money back. It's all bullshit,

207
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: none of it. It's all accounting, moving it around. It

208
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean a goddamn thing. So if the if he

209
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: wanted to stay in Green Bay, they could reload with Ease,

210
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: resigned Davante Adams, go sign some free agents. They'd be fine,

211
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: and they would win twelve plus games. He doesn't want

212
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: to be there anymore. I think that's pretty clear. And

213
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I think Denver knows that that's why they hired this guy. Now,

214
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: all the reports that they really like this guy, I'm

215
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: sure they did. I'm sure this guy is a cool guy.

216
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know him personally, but I

217
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: think they did this for a reason. And if it

218
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: gets some Aaron Rodgers, it was well worth it. Just

219
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: like you know when Kentucky hire some guy's brother. Well,

220
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: if it leads you to Anthony Davis, who gives a ship.

221
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: I would have hired the guy's brother too. Okay, Conference

256
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: of GM hired over the last several days, and there's

257
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: also been some coaches hired right Uber Fluce was hired.

258
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: Let's start with Chicago Ryan Pols. The Chicago Bears went

259
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: with a football guy, Ryan Pouls. The guy played in college,

260
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: he played for a minute in the NFL. He's been

261
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: with Scott p Olie, and he's been with Andy Reid.

262
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: This guy, to me, represents a football guy. So ultimately,

263
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: as a general manager, your job is to pick players

264
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: and you get judged on who you pick in free

265
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: agency in the draft. In Chicago, who has a long

266
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: history of hiring football guys, went back to that well

267
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: with Ryan Poles, who was interviewing everywhere, was viewed as

268
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: a high level candidate. And I think it's a solid higher,

269
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: but you never know. Like I didn't know anything about

270
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Pace. I thought Ryan Pace was a solid higher.

271
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I think Ryan Ace is one of the worst gms

272
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: in recent memory, and knowing some people that are around him,

273
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: not that impressive of a guy. Looks the part, great hair,

274
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: skinny on the peloton, you know, walks in the room.

275
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: You like that guy looks like a GM. But then

276
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to do GM stuff, couldn't do it.

277
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: So I'm rooting for Ryan Poles. He hired Uberfluce, which

278
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to tell. Did he want Uberfluce or

279
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: was he told to hire uber Fluce? I don't know.

280
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: You know this guy. One thing about Eric b enemy

281
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: is a guy he was just with for seven years.

282
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: So did he not want Eric b enimy did he

283
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: want Eric uber Fluce over him? I can't tell you.

284
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: And then let's go to the Giants. Joe Shane. I

285
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: think this one's pretty interesting is that one thing I've

286
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: heard about the New York Giants do not get this

287
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: twist to John Mara has a I mean, we know this,

288
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: but he's gonna dictate who the coaches. I do not

289
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: think for one second that Joe Shane has autonomy to

290
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: hire whoever he wants, because I've been told that he did.

291
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball would already be there coach. But one

292
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: thing that I've heard him by the time you're listening

293
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: to this, maybe they have a coach, is that the

294
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Mara's are very very impressed. Might be the wrong way

295
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: to put it, but intrigued by Brian Flores. Well, Joe Shane,

296
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: who has never worked with Brian Flores, who knows Chris

297
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: Greer because he's been in Miami wants no part of it.

298
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, I did a little digging, heard some pretty

299
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: bad things and not necessarily like you know, doesn't know football,

300
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: but not an easy guy to get along with. And

301
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about this before, but I talked to people

302
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: that actually know and they definitely confirmed that. But I also,

303
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I heard Joe Judge was a laughing stock.

304
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Actually heard about a pretty prominent player who spent some

305
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: time around Joe Judge who's now on another team. They

306
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: made fun of him a lot to his new coaches

307
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: and new executives. So some of these bill guys, they

308
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: think they're no at alls, they then act like assholes.

309
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: And if I'm Joe Shane and I don't know this guy,

310
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: I want no part. I just left an incredible situation

311
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I was gonna be a GM somewhere, if

312
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: not this year, in the next couple of years. I

313
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: want to hire my own coach because I'm gonna get

314
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: judged on the players that I picked that he coaches,

315
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: and I have to deal with him on a daily basis.

316
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: So it shows you that the Maras have their hand

317
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: all over this. Because the moment Joe Shane was announced,

318
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo would have been announced to that's I feel

319
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: very very confident on that information now. But the information

320
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: that I have on Joe Shane, people are very very

321
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: impressed with this guy. He's been working in the league

322
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years. I know a couple of guys

323
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: that have been around him. They love him, that this

324
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: guy is the real deal. I I have heard glowing

325
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: reviews on him. But to be successful as a general manager,

326
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: this is not basketball or baseball. I don't get to

327
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: write the lineup every day like I'm far for Anxiety

328
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: or Billy Bean. My manager isn't irrelevant my coach in

329
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: the sport of football, even if I am the greatest

330
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: player picker in the history of the league. My coach

331
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: has to scheme, and my coach has to run practice,

332
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: and my coach runs the games. I don't get to

333
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: be on the headset. That's I guess if I'm Nick Assario,

334
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: I could, but even him, like you only have so

335
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: much juice as the main executive, you need your coach

336
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: to be good. You are such a better general manager

337
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: when your coaches Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Pete Carroll, Kyle

338
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Shanna and Sean McVeigh. John Lynch looks a lot smarter

339
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: because kyle'ss guy back to two NFC championships in three years.

340
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: If they had Jim tom Seula, they all would have

341
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: been fired three years ago. You are very, very predicated

342
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: your success on the coach. So I think it's gonna

343
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: be very very interesting in that building. Do the Maras

344
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: get out of their own fucking way, because one thing

345
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: is clear, they have not lately. They really have been

346
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: a total joke man. And I saw yesterday John Marrow

347
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: was kind of getting defensive. Like, John, you've had three

348
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: coaches in five years. You are now on your basically

349
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: your third general manager, right because they fired Jerry rees

350
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: to go to Gettleman, and now they're like, you are

351
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: running and I mean running through people Al Davis style.

352
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: You're the New York Giants. And I think sometimes we think,

353
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: and this back to my agent comment, the agents right

354
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: now in college football in the NFL are playing these

355
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: owners and a d s like a fiddle. Just because

356
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: you own an NFL team doesn't mean you know anything.

357
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Especially most of these guys just inherited the team. And

358
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: even something like Dave Tepper. He just bought the team.

359
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: He likes football doesn't mean he knows what he's doing.

360
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: And the hardest thing in general, in life right is

361
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: to hire someone. Hiring is very, very difficult. You never know.

362
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: Anyone can interview well, whether it's at the NFL Combine

363
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: or whether it's interviewing for a job at Willis Fargo.

364
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: You can impress in an interview. You can fake it, right,

365
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: what's the statement? You can fake it till you make it. Well.

366
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. If if it didn't, how

367
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: would John Mara just hired Joe Judge, a thirty seven

368
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: year old special teams coach that knows nothing about offense

369
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: and defense. But he's like, I'm a leader. Know who

370
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: in the right mind would want a CEO at thirty

371
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: seven years old? That that makes no sense a CEO

372
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: head coach if I I see it all the time,

373
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: if I'm hiring a young guy. The same goes from

374
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett, I want you to call the place, Well,

375
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: what can you call? Joe Judge can't call offense? Why

376
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: he never did he? At least when you hired mcadow

377
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: and Shermer, those guys were the offensive play callers. Now

378
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: it didn't work out, but at least I understand the logic.

379
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: The Joe Judge is one of the most embarrassing hires

380
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: in the I mean in the history of the franchise

381
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: and honestly in the history of the league. Like that's

382
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: that's a joke. That really is. And I know people

383
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: that I talked to that know Joe Judge. They were like, listen,

384
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: I like the guy, but are you fucking kidding me?

385
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: Hired Joe Judge and it played out exactly like you know,

386
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: many of them thought fired in two years, I mean

387
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: kind of and most Giants fans want to forget those

388
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: last two years as quickly as possible. So I hope

389
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: that they left this guy, who now has been around

390
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: the NFL for any plus t years make his own higher.

391
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: Doubt they will. Let's go to the Vikings. Uh, very

392
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: hard name to say. I'll just call him Quessey. Uh.

393
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: He I talked to some people with the forty Niners

394
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: that that know him. His background. Listen, if you look

395
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: at his resume, it blows you away. This guy unlike

396
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: you know people that work in football in their twenties,

397
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: we don't make any money. When I When I first

398
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: got hired at Frezo State, I made a scholarship tech.

399
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: When I first got hired with the Eagles, I made

400
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars. I was six years old. I

401
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: had friends making hundred forty grand working in real jobs,

402
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: my friends that worked in finance. And when I came

403
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: back from Philadelphia, I moved to San Francisco with a buddy,

404
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: an IVY League buddy who's from California that played baseball

405
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: in the Ivy Leagues. He was working in finance, and

406
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: he was probably twenty eight or twenty nine at the time.

407
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: He had just bought an eight hundred thousand dollar condo,

408
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: which I remember my parents walked in his out small

409
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: in the city thinking they were crazy. He ended up

410
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: selling it for one five. They were the idiots. I

411
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: even't thought he was a little crazy, but I mean

412
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: he made a ton of money and I was making

413
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: fifty grand and I was living high on the hog.

414
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: This this guy, I mean, I would imagine he was

415
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: making seven grand. And I'll never forget because he worked

416
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: at the one of the companies that Questy worked at.

417
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: Because this guy's an IVY League guy worked in finance

418
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: in mergers and acquisitions for Credit Swiss and some of

419
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: these big banks. They work nfl hours. I'll never forget

420
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: watching Bobby get up you know. When I was working

421
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: the road, I would come back, you know, and be

422
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: worked from home, you know, some weeks, and he would

423
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: get up at seven am and I wouldn't see him again.

424
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Dull midnight Monday through Friday, working on deals, mergers of hotels,

425
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: these massive deals. Now he got paid a lot. I'm like,

426
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, guys in the league, especially the younger ones

427
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: at the same age, but he worked similar hours and

428
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: the pressure was crazy. I mean, it was driving him nuts.

429
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: I remember he ended up leaving to another company, but

430
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: I remember being blown away by how intense it was.

431
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: And you always read, especially for us on the West Coast,

432
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: like what Wall Street watch these movies about Wall Street

433
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: boiler Room, but then watching it live, thinking like god,

434
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: this this is no joke. It's really intense. And you

435
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: have to be I mean, Bobby's one of the smartest

436
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: guys I've ever met. You work in banking, and you

437
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: go to the Ivy League and you get these jobs,

438
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: you have to be able to handle stress, and your

439
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: intellectual capacity has to be sky high. It's it's for killers,

440
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: winners and just grinders. I mean, it's it's you gotta

441
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: be the total packet. Now you're compensated. But so him

442
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: doing that is very, very impressive, but his background. Ultimately,

443
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: when you become the GM, you are judged on picking players.

444
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: So because you're able to be really smart, that that matters.

445
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: And I think in two thousand twenty two, it's never

446
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: been more important to be a general manager. And from

447
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: what I've heard about Joe Shane and same with Ryan Poles,

448
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: they're bright guys. You have to be dynamic and so

449
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: QUESSI more than even those guys, and even a lot

450
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: of like John Lynch or Brett each is gonna be

451
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: able to do things with a cap by himself. He'll

452
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: be able to handle money stuff like the back of

453
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: his hand. That that is that's gonna come the most naturally,

454
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: and that's important. But ultimately, when it comes to free

455
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: agency and specifically the draft, who do you pick? Did

456
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: you draft Justin Jefferson or do you take Alex Leatherwood?

457
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Do you do you draft you know Nick Bosa or

458
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: do you take Cleveland Ferrell? Who do you pick? Like

459
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: the reason Mike Mayock is kind of getting made fun

460
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: of and got fired and no one cared. He whipped

461
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: on all his first round picks. Now, wasn't him? I

462
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: don't know like that. Maybe it's John Gruden. But you

463
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: don't get judged on how smart you are, like Wales.

464
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: It's a great contract. Was the player any good? What

465
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: player do you sign in free agency? And I watched

466
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: his press conference. This guy is an impressed. I'm not

467
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: even saying that this guy is gonna fail because you

468
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: watch him and he said all the right things. He's

469
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: in his resume. This guy is smarter than the majority

470
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: of people listening, including myself, if we combined all of

471
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: our brains. But that doesn't mean you're gonna be a

472
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: good GM because as a GM, for all you know now,

473
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: you deal with the training staff, you deal with medical stuff,

474
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: you obviously deal with the cap. Your number one job

475
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: is to build a football team. And can this guy

476
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: build a football team? Because they went very outside the

477
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: box like this. This is a very very outside the

478
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: box and I'm pro outside the box hires. And he

479
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: said all the right things about collaboration, and the people

480
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: with the Niners told me they think he'll hire a

481
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: good scouting staff, and that's important, and he listens to

482
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people, but he will not get judged

483
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: on how he can finagle the cap. He's gonna get

484
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: judged on who he drafts and who he signs in

485
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: free agency, and who's on his team, who he cuts,

486
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: who he trades for. That's it, period, point blank, end

487
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: of story. You know that's that's That's just it. And

488
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be fascinating If this works, a

489
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: lot more guys like him are gonna get hired with

490
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: this Princeton money background, because who are these owners gonna love?

491
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: Every single owner in the I heard cowards say yesterday

492
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: every single owner in the NFL is a billionaire. And

493
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: let's face it, most of them are billionaires and they

494
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: came in. Their net worth now has increased dramatically in

495
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 1: the last five to ten years, and it keeps increasing

496
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: at incredibly high rates. So who do they relate to?

497
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: People that can talk money? Right they like And I've

498
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: been around Jeffrey Larry. He likes talking football players, but

499
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: I bet he likes talking money just as much. Revenue, margins,

500
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: depreciation and money. Guys can talk that, you know, who can't?

501
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Football people because football people focus the majority of their effort,

502
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, on players, on the game, on scouting,

503
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: and this guy's background is really really fascinating. Now, who

504
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: he hires, we'll see, and that's gonna be another thing. Now,

505
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, as of recording this, he

506
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: hasn't hired anyone. My gut says he spent some time

507
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: in San Francisco Aroundmiko Ryan's Damiko Ryan's. I was with

508
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: him in Philly when we traded for him. Known as

509
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: one of the smartest guys in the league, high character guy.

510
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: That that one would make a lot of sense. Uh

511
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: but but I'm gonna be fascinated to watch this guy

512
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: from a scouting perspective. Say one thing about the Minnesota

513
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: Vikings and and Rick Spielman, who's a football guy. They

514
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: drafted pretty well, that they signed a lot of good

515
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: players over the years. They've had very very They've had

516
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: a kind of Pro Bowlers of the Year, Justin Jefferson,

517
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: fieland Dalvin Cook, Kendricks, Harrison Smith, Daniel Hunter, you know

518
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes for a while, like the talent was not

519
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: their issue right now, Cousins, did you get overpaid a

520
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: little bit maybe, but you know, really what let him

521
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: down the last couple of years was coaching and their

522
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: secondary You know, Spielman missed on some picks, but this

523
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: guy's gonna miss on some picks. Is he gonna hit

524
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: on as many Pro bowlers? Because that's all really fans

525
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: care about, not like you know, he he circumvented the

526
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: cap that the New Orleans Saints have been in cap

527
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: hell for a decade. They got the playoffs every year.

528
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: No one gives a shit. It's just outside the box.

529
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: Is awesome, and it's a It's a good thing for

530
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: people in other areas. But unlike baseball, and I see

531
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: it firsthand with the Oakland A's in the San Francico

532
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: Giants now who copied the A's in my backyard, the

533
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: general managers can run the game. They could run the team.

534
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: It's why the Giants pay the majority of their coaches

535
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: grand That's why the Oakland A's paid nothing for coaches.

536
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: Why they let Bob Melvin Billy runs it, and Dave

537
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: Forrest runs it and if Friedman runs it, all these

538
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: general managers run it. You can't do that in football.

539
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: That is not the way it works. You're there's a

540
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: reason coaches make fifteen and twenty million dollars. They're the

541
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: most important guy in the building now. And I'm not

542
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: saying saw quest he say, and he's right. I work

543
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: for the coach, and I mean he knows that he's

544
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: He's seen it firsthand with Stefanski and Kyle. But this

545
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: is like, I think some of these owners, you know,

546
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: are trying to you know, maybe go cheap some areas

547
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: we'll see. I just think this is gonna be a

548
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: fascinating case study. The other thing I've heard, and again,

549
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: this might be out by the time you hear the podcast.

550
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I was told by several people Tram Bulky will not

551
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: so five if Byron Leftwich is gonna be the next

552
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: head coach of the Jacks. And I heard that yesterday

553
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: and I saw it today on the internet. Trent Balky

554
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: will be relieved of his duties. And because because Bryan

555
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: and Leftwich will not work for Trent Balky. And you

556
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: see some of the rumors today of Vic Fangio and

557
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: Trent Balky. That's Trent Bulky trying to survive. And there

558
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: is nobody who's a better survivor maybe than like mcgever

559
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: or you know, just Navy seals than Trent Balky. Trent

560
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: Balky somehow survived hard ball into Jim tom Sula and

561
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: then in the Chip Kelly, I wouldn't let like for

562
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: whatever reason. And again in my interaction cool to me.

563
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: The NFL and coaches can't stand the guy. He is

564
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: toxic in NFL circles for I don't have all the details,

565
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: but I just know that people do not like him.

566
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: That that's not an opinion, that's a fact. So if

567
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich, who is you know, I think is very

568
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: very interested in being the next head coach of the Jags,

569
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Trent Bulky will not be as general manager, and Shot

570
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: Khan will have to fire them. And this is I

571
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: remember thinking this with forever with the Niners when they

572
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: kept Trim Balky and going through coaches that the Giants

573
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: finally did it. You have to blow it up sometimes

574
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta detonate the motherfucker and start from scratch.

575
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: And Shot Khan is trying to kind of circumvent that,

576
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: right He whether he feels obligated because Trent and Urban

577
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: didn't work and he wants I don't know, but if

578
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: you want to get who you view as the best candidate,

579
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: you probably gotta fire Trent Balky so that that would

580
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: be my educated guests that if Byron left, which becomes

581
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: the next head coach of the Jags, he'll pick his

582
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: own general manager old, they'll put him with someone else,

583
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: and Trent Balky will be Uh. I love this phrase,

584
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: relieved of his duties. Let's talk about the games, because

585
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: we have we have two pretty good football games. Uh.

586
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: I watched today on treadmill. You know, health as well,

587
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: So get a little sweat on this morning. Actually, StairMaster.

588
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't stand straight up. Sometimes I lean over.

589
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: Probably not great for you know, says you burn a

590
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: lot of calories, but who knows. And I take my

591
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: iPad and I go to the NFL game pass and

592
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: I threw on a week seventeen Chiefs Bengals. The Chiefs

593
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: were up on the road one to seven and fourteen,

594
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: and it kind of hit me this morning. I think

595
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: you can make the argument that over the last I

596
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: think Rogers was the best players start to finish. No

597
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: problem with him winning the m v P. Brady was

598
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: obviously awesome, But I think the last seven eight weeks,

599
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: maybe six seven weeks, the two best players in the

600
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: league have been Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, but specifically

601
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes. They've scored the last two weeks

602
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs eighty four points. Now, I know one

603
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: went to overtime, eighty four points. Eighty four points. Well,

604
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: in that game they had twenty eight points in the

605
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: first half that they were in cruise control. This guy

606
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: is on a complete This guy is going a couple

607
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: of years throwback, like, hey, guys, remember me, I'm the

608
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: guy that signed for for fifty million dollars. He was

609
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: eviscerating them. And I think the Chiefs in a vacuum

610
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: are ten points better than these guys. So now at

611
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: home at Arrowhead, and I know Joe Burrow said he's

612
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: never seen a stadium yet it's ladder in the SEC

613
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: and I get it. He played at Tiger Stadium. Well,

614
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: get ready because this place is gonna be bananas. And

615
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: you're playing the best player into the sport of football

616
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: with two of the best teammates in the sport of football.

617
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: And I would say, right now the best coach in football.

618
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: So I like the Chiefs and I like them big. Now,

619
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: honey Badger I saw today's back at practice. One thing

620
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: I was told by people with the Chiefs because last

621
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: week obviously was a joke. Right, Gabriel Davis is wide open,

622
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: It's like, what's going on. It's one thing if your

623
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: corner slipped, but it was happening in every play. They're like,

624
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: Honey Badger is the communicator on our defense. He lines

625
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: everybody up so that they're not rolling out Dion Sanders, right,

626
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Durrell reeves, that's not The Chiefs don't have elite cover guys.

627
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: And even Honey Badger, now at his point in time

628
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: of his career, is a little older. He is one

629
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: of the smartest players in the NFL. And once he

630
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: got the concussion in that game, that threw that threw

631
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: everything off for them and their alignment and assignments, and

632
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: they were out of whack. So he's gonna play in

633
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: this game. And if he plays in that game, obviously

634
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: they gave up Jamaar Chase. Look like Randy Moss meets

635
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice meets Terrell Owens. He if you didn't see

636
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: a box score, you'd be like he had twenty catches

637
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: for five yards and six touch shows he eviscerated the Chiefs.

638
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: There is no way, as someone told me in Kansas City, like,

639
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: if he does that again, we deserve lose. That's a fact.

640
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: If you can't, I would do what the Niners just did. Davante.

641
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: You double team him what the Bills should have done

642
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: to Tyree Hill, Double team him. Have two guys one

643
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: one blow one ahead, bracket, do whatever the funk you want.

644
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Double team at the line of screement. I don't care

645
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: what you do. You said, two guys where ever number

646
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: one goes, because under no circumstances can number one have

647
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: three hundred yards like he did the last game. And

648
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: I would imagine Steve Spagnola, who once upon a time

649
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: might have taken down I don't know the greatest offense

650
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: we've ever seen configure something out the second time around.

651
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: I like the Chiefs. I like the Chiefs big in

652
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: this game. Joe Burrow has had an incredible season. Jamaar

653
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: Chase offensive Rookie of the Year. It's been awesome to watch.

654
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: Nothing but respect. They got to be one of the

655
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: youngest cooler teams in the league. Uh that they deserve

656
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: all their flowers, as the kids would say, But this

657
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: is the Chief's time they're gonna head to the super

658
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: Bowl and they're gonna be the they're gonna be favored

659
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: against whoever they play. And then for the main event,

660
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: because really the a f c's main event was last

661
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: week Bills Chiefs, which would have been Can you imagine

662
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: how sweet would have benefits Bills Chiefs? And I'm not

663
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: trying to diminish the Bengals. You deserve to be here,

664
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: and the Bills and Chiefs screwed up with the seating

665
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: and everything, but god, it would be awesome. It was

666
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: Bill Chiefs nighter's ramps. Cal Shannon has beat this guy

667
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: six times in a row, six times in a row,

668
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: six times in a row. That's pretty nuts, right, That's

669
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: that's wild. Obviously, the connection of the two of them.

670
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: There was a really good article by uh one of

671
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons Little Minions on the Ringer about the two

672
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: guys and how their offenses are way different, and it

673
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: was fascinating. Obviously, once you start reading it and saying

674
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: it out loud, it makes a lot of sense. Sean

675
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: McVeigh runs a passing offense. He that's why he wanted

676
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. He wants to go three and four wide,

677
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: and throw the rock around. Kyle Shanahan is the opposite.

678
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon has two running backs because one of his

679
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: running backs is a fullback, Kyle us Chick, who's one

680
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: of the most underappreciated guys in the league. He is

681
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: a star. They think he's going to a sixth Raight

682
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or Pro Bowl or whatever. He loves running

683
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: the ball. Kyle Shanahan dreams about slamming the ball down

684
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: your throat with toss plays Debo or Elijah Mitchell where

685
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and Sean McVeigh want to throw bombs. So

686
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: they're kind of polar opposites of teams, right, But the

687
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: Matt Staffords have seen during the season Week eighteen and

688
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: then whatever Week six or seven or whenever they played

689
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. On that Monday night game, four

690
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: interceptions turn the ball over at a high rate, and

691
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: the Niners took advantage of it. And the Week eight

692
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: team game, he had a couple of interceptions in the

693
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: second half, obviously the interception that ended the game, but

694
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: another one that got the Niners. I guess the game

695
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 1: was tied at the time, but it was a huge

696
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: momentum swing and the Matt Stafford that we've seen the

697
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks in the playoffs has not turned

698
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: the ball over. He's been magnificent. If Matt Stafford is

699
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna play like he has the last two weeks, I

700
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: think the Rams win. Here's the problem. The forty Niners

701
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: pass rush is dominant, the Rams offensive line not great,

702
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: and a big reason that they're six and oh and

703
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: against them the last six games is because the forty

704
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: Niners kicked the ship out of them at the point

705
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: of attack. The line of scrimmage, the one place still

706
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL and really the support of football where

707
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: you're allowed to be physical. You're allowed to you know,

708
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: cracks goals, You're not allowed to hit anyone anywhere else,

709
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: but at the line of scrimmage you are. And the

710
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: forty Niners defensive line, led by their defensive line coach

711
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: Chris Serk, just gets after your ass. And they sacked

712
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford the last several times they've played him. They

713
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: dominated line of scrimmage in the two playoff games, and

714
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: to me, if the Nighters are gonna win, that's gonna

715
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: be the difference. Deebo Samuel. They they have not been

716
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: able to stop him. He is. He has thrown for

717
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown, he's caught a touchdown. He's ran for several

718
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Rams this season. Now the Rams what

719
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: they are going for him. Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy Garoppolo in

720
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: that week a team game, had some terrible interceptions and

721
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: he could have had several more interceptions. He you know,

722
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 1: he just he's not a trustworthy player. He at any

723
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: given moment can throw the ball to your team. And

724
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is a superstar. And I think his physicality,

725
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: to me, he's kind of the new age Richard Sherman

726
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: at makes everyone else in that secondary physical. The Rams

727
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: secondary wolf tackle and they can all make plays on

728
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: the ball, beside maybe Taylor Rap who's just a guy.

729
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: But if Jimmy Garoppolo turns the ball over, it's hard

730
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: to overcome turnovers in in the half games. It's just

731
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: it's very hard. The Niners got very lucky that Jimmy's

732
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: red zone interception last week didn't cost him the game,

733
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: because it should have. He throws the red zone pick

734
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers throws the ball to Aaron Jones

735
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: and they are able to block a kick that would

736
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: have been a ten point lead at halftime. It would

737
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: have been bad. And then the Niners get a turnover

738
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: on the block punt, right. Actually, all the turnovers really

739
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: for the most part in that game. I guess the

740
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis had a fumble and Jimmy had a pick,

741
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: but the Packers had multiple turnovers and really obviously that

742
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: punt block in the kicking game. So if you've got

743
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over in the second half of

744
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: these tight games, you're gonna lose. Now. I just it's

745
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: it's impossible to avoid a Jimmy Garoppolo interception because he

746
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: throws interceptions. But if they can get Matt Stafford as

747
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: well to turn the ball over, because he was a

748
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: turnover machine this season, turnover machine. But it's gone away

749
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: these last two weeks. And uh, I mean, I like

750
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: the forty Niners in this game, but if Matt Stafford

751
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: is gonna play like he has the two last two weeks,

752
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: that the Rams could easily win. Um can't wait to

753
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: watch this thing. I think this has a chance to

754
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: kind of like Mahomes and Alan. Have you guys seen

755
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: the NFC Sean Payton just retired. Well, I would say,

756
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: the two best coaches in the NFC beside Kyle and

757
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: Sean are Pete Kaylor Carol and Bruce arians Google. Their

758
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: age both seven years old, They're not coaching much longer.

759
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: So look at the rest of the NFC, Uber Fluce,

760
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: the Giants don't even have a coach yet, Uh, Matt Rule.

761
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: The Saints don't have a coach, Mike McCarthy like you

762
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: started going around Cliff Kingsbury. How are these guys not

763
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: going to kick the ship out of everyone for the

764
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: foreseeable future that they are? If we did an NFC

765
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: coaching draft, especially if you factored in age, these would

766
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: be a lock to go one and two. There would

767
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: be a wide gap. Who would be even be next?

768
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: Like Nick Sirianni was solid this year, We'll see, you know,

769
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: he's got to get a quarterback. But actually concanhand went

770
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 1: without quarterbacks. He's one with Jimmy Garoppolo. So I these

771
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: guys are on a completely different level in CREDI double

772
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: coaching matchup, and I think something we're gonna see for

773
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: a long period of time. And uh, let's let's enjoy

774
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: these games on Sunday because it's gonna be a long

775
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: off season. Luckily, there's a lot going on in the

776
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: off season. We'll keep talking football. He was diving in

777
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: the Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff is the UH

778
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: is the old Instagram handle, and let's find my requests

779
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: start with UH. We'll start with Johnny here, Johnny, Hey,

780
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: John fan. Hopefully the Niners can run and control the

781
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: clock and keep the Rams offense off the field, pressure

782
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: and rattle Stafford and get this win, no question. I agree, Hey, John,

783
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: Huge Ravens fan. I've always heard how great their front

784
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: office and scouts are. As a former scout, could you

785
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: elaborate what sets them apart teams like the Eagles, Steelers, Ravens.

786
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: It just as simple as consistency at the top or

787
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: something else. By the way, big fan of raw podcasts,

788
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: are feels listening to a conversation and you'd have with

789
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: a buddy. Thanks man, I appreciate that. Awesome. That's a

790
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: great question. I mean, I worked with Daniel Jeremiah who

791
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: came from there. I think it started with Ozzie. I

792
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: think it started with their culture of toughness and physicality. Uh.

793
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the players they had right from

794
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: Heloti Nada to Ray Lewis to ed Rey de Terrell,

795
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Suggs an Kwan Bolden. They just had tough guys, man,

796
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: they really did. They had They had a formula of

797
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: the type people that they wanted, and you know, I

798
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: think that's still rings somewhat true. It's a little different.

799
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: Eric to Costa who was there with those guys. They

800
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: just had a lot of good I think scouts over

801
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: the years. You know, Joe Douglas, Ian Cunningham who's now

802
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, Feel Savage for a long time, Daniel Jeremiah. Uh.

803
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: They just had a kind of a core group of guys.

804
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: I think Andy Whidel was from there. That just just

805
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: football guys. It's a it's a football guy culture, you know.

806
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: I I think it's it's probably the best I can

807
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: operate having never been there, but I always respected. You

808
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: just watched their team play. When you watch their team play,

809
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: they were trying to knock you out. Why are the

810
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: Titans not mentioned as a destination for quarterbacks like Rogers

811
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: and Russ They have a solid roster and a perfect coach.

812
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure respected around the league. Feels like they're just

813
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback away because Ryan Tannehills on the books. Let

814
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: me bring up his contract. I don't think they can

815
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: get rid of Ryan tanne Hill this year. So if

816
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: you can't get rid of them, who's gonna I mean,

817
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: I think you'd be able to trade for him or

818
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: trade him right like with the football team or some

819
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: of these teams that are missing a quarterback. But if

820
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: I go to his contract, he signed a big deal.

821
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: So this year his dead cap is fifty seven million dollars.

822
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: Fifty seven million dollars, Ryan Tannehills not going anywhere. He's

823
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: on the team. Ryan tannie Hill quarterback of your Tennessee Titans.

824
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, if Ryan tanne Hill, if they get away

825
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: for him, they would be a destination. Nashville, one of

826
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: the best cities in America. Mike Rabel good, good roster pieces.

827
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: It's him man. I haven't followed the Sean Payton news

828
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: that closely, but wouldn't be crazy if the Bills to

829
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: reach out to him. I'm not gonna say that McDermot

830
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: is a bad coach, but a defensive coach. Until his

831
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: unit lost the game, I know that he had the

832
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: lowest yards against points allowed. And they play Mac two

833
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: and Zack Wilson six times a year free games for

834
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: the defense. I think with day Ball leaving, there's a

835
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: good enough o C available to get the most out

836
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: of Alan. Well as before we go too much more

837
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: in depth on this question, Sean Payton. I saw him

838
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: on with Dan Patrick, UH the Saints Owners Rights. If

839
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: you wanted to get Sean Payton one. He doesn't want

840
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: to coach. He mentioned that like he's adamant, he's burned out.

841
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: He wants to take a break, he wants to take

842
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: a deep breath. He's not coaching this year. But if

843
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: he wanted to, you'd have to trade them a first

844
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: round pick. Now I think teams would, but he's not

845
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: just a free agent, and I think if you've seen

846
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: him talk, he is not coaching this year, it's not happening.

847
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: Neithers have been in the NFC Championship Game five of

848
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: the last eleven seasons. Time for Shanahan to get the

849
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: ring and start creating a legacy. I agree, Well, Andy

850
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: Reid thinks he's getting ring number two, So Sean McVeigh

851
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: thinks he's getting ring number one. It's football, man, It's hard. Uh.

852
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: These games are very very difficult. Assuming Deshaun Watson's off

853
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: the fields issues get resolved. I don't know why we

854
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 1: assume that. You know, I've heard that. You know. Basically,

855
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: what people inside the NFL think is that Deshaun Watson

856
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: didn't like going out and parting, so he used the

857
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: masseuses took up, but he would bring them over. And

858
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: people in the NFL do not think anything nefarious happened necessarily,

859
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: but there's no way to know, and until like, why

860
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: do we think this is just gonna go away? If

861
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: you follow the legal system, and I don't think things

862
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: just go away. So I don't know if that's a

863
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: lock for just to go away. I don't know. I'm

864
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna go to jail or anything, but

865
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I mean, he's he sure hasn't

866
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: gone away, and it's been going on for six months

867
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: or something longer than that. So I don't know. Do

868
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles if it does go away. I think the

869
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: Eagles would one trade form if it does go away.

870
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: I think a ton of teams would trade for But

871
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: right now it's not going away. These I don't know.

872
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: I have no clue what happened beside from what I've heard.

873
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: Clearly he was just hooking up with all the massage therapists. Now,

874
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: was he sexually assaulting them? That's something for the legal

875
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: system to figure out. And I'm not you know, I'm

876
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: just state school guy, don't have any legal background high

877
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's gonna play out. I've been listening. Enjoy.

878
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: My question from from Kennon. My question is concerns the

879
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: New York Giants. We all can see that Danny Dimes

880
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: likely will never be a quarterback that can lead the

881
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: Giants success. However, beyond their defensive ends and offensive line,

882
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: I believe they have a solid roster. Do you think

883
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: if the Giants were to somehow land an elite talent

884
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: at quarterback through the draft or perhaps acquire Russell Wilson

885
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: through a trade with Seattle, they would be able to

886
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 1: compete with the top tier teams in the NFL again

887
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: and return to true contention. Uh. If they got Russell Wilson,

888
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: I think they could be good immediately. Yes. Uh. Do

889
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get Russell Wilson. I don't. I

890
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna I don't think the Seattle wants

891
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: to trade them. I don't think they're gonna trade them.

892
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: So if they don't trade him, he's just not available.

893
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: And you got Danny Dimes, Like, did you you listen

894
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: to John Martok. John Marrow thinks Danny Dimes is not

895
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: the problem, which to me is a little crazy. Um,

896
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: it's not totally its fault. Their offensive line as sucks,

897
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: say Kwan Barkley's about as fast as me the last

898
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: couple of years since his injury. But obviously if you

899
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: get Russell Wilson, you would trade pick five seven and

900
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 1: you trade three once without even blinking. You wouldn't even hesitate.

901
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's gonna be available. If he is,

902
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 1: I think the Giants would make a ton of sense

903
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: depending on who their coaches. You're the only one that

904
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: called John Payton leaving. That was spot on. Well, I

905
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: only called him leaving because I saw that it was

906
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of out there in the ether. I saw Michael Lombardi.

907
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: I listened to his podcast. He brought it up a

908
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and then my my point was

909
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: just simple, like if you're starting to think about retirement

910
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: as a player a coach, you're gone. It's over. And

911
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: you hear him talk like he was just burned out.

912
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: That's what Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, and uh Trevor Simon

913
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: will duty. One thing that he kind of mentioned, it

914
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: was clear he didn't like coaching without Drew Brees around.

915
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't blame him coaching we had a quarterback sucks.

916
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: That's that blows charge your fan here. I've been a

917
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: fan since I was a kid, and I've watched us

918
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: blow through great players lt. Gates, Rivers, I underscann the skepticism.

919
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: The skepticism can't even speak toward Brandon Saley, but from

920
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: a fan's perspective, I thought if we made the playoffs,

921
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: we would be a year ahead of where I thought

922
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: we were. Also, the aggressive mentality has been the breath

923
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: of fresh air after eight years of conservative, adictable play calling.

924
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: If we can share up our defense, get a yak receiver,

925
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: I think we have a good chance of making the

926
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: tournament in winning playoff games. Ps. Out of curiosity, I

927
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: have heard nothing but good about Staley from former players

928
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: and coaches. I've looked for negative reports and haven't been

929
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: able to find any. I know you're obviously well connected,

930
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: but I was just curious if you've heard Yeah, I mean,

931
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I just people thought that I know that have been

932
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 1: around him, that he was a know it all and

933
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of fake. Now you know schematically he was

934
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: with Fangio, you know the year in in l A.

935
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: But I saw Rohey Morris. They're good in l A.

936
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: They have Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, they have good players. Uh.

937
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: My issue with him is just more I just feel like,

938
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: is this guy a real human? Why? Why does he talk?

939
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: Why does it? Why do I feel like everything he

940
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: says is trying to get the media to like him.

941
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: That's that's what bothers me. And then his defense was

942
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: terrible and he's a defensive play caller. He inherited a

943
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. I have talked to several NFL t

944
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: The way an NFL team operates is you grade every

945
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: player throughout the year, so every single player in the

946
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: league is graded well. Multiple teams tell me they have

947
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert graded as a top five quarterback, top five

948
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: to not make the playoffs with the top five quarterback,

949
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: to me, it's just it's unacceptable. I think it's a

950
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: fireball offense. I know you don't talk about of college

951
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: ball a lot, but I wanted to get your take

952
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: on Josh Hypel as a as an alum, I'm obviously

953
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: biased and think he did a great job in year

954
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: one without an abundance of talent. Just curious what you

955
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: think about the program. Well, the SEC East is way

956
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: easier beside Georgia than the West. So if he's good,

957
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: and he's been good as a head coach, he learned

958
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: under Stoops. I mean, this guy's this guy's coached and

959
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: played now at a really high level and now been

960
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 1: at head coach. He's one A lot my scouting buddies

961
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: don't love him. I think he can be a little

962
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: bit of a you know, a little rough around the edges,

963
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: not not Mr Pro, but they're biased. He's not just

964
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: pro NFL guys. And maybe it's because he didn't have

965
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: an NFL career, but yeah, he's he's a good coach,

966
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 1: and I don't see why they can't be the second

967
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: best team in the SEC East. You know, he's basically

968
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: George is in a completely different world. But why couldn't

969
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: he be better in Billy Napier in Florida? And then

970
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: you just gotta you know Stoops is good too. I

971
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: guess the SEC East isn't terrible if Napier is good

972
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: because Stoops is good. But yeah, I mean it's just

973
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: it's probably never gonna be what it was like when

974
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: I was a kid in the late nineties with Peyton

975
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: and Fulmer and then t Martin. But if you could

976
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: just be competitive, which you should be, well, mrs competitive,

977
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean think about that. Well miss is competitive, If

978
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: all miss competitive, you should be competitive. Born and raising

979
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: Fresno appreciate the bulldog connection in a big Barry sports

980
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: fan question for the mail back. Obviously, the season that

981
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: seemed like it was Jimmy G's last season and Trey

982
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: Lance would be taken over in the off season. Obviously,

983
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: with the play off run that's starting to look a

984
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: little less likely, or with his playoff runs starting to

985
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: look a little less like, what do you see as

986
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: the possible scenarios based on if we win or lose

987
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: this week Jimmy and Trey's future. I don't think it

988
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: matters with Jimmy Garoppolo. I think he's going to get

989
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 1: traded this offseason. He makes twenty five million dollars. Part

990
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: of having a young quarterback, especially when you draft him high,

991
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: is playing him on the rookie contract. Like Herbert, like Mahomes,

992
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, like Lamar Jackson. Because you Trey lance

993
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: makes like five six million dollars, so Jimmy makes he

994
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: makes twenty million dollars, less as twenty million dollars to invest,

995
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: and then the salary cap goes up. That's thirty forty

996
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: million dollars to use to improve the team. Now, there

997
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: is no guarantee that Trey lance Is would be as

998
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: good as Jimmy Garoppolo right away. More than likely he

999
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: would not, and watching him this year, he is a

1000
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: major project. But that's why Kyle Shanahan makes like twelve

1001
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. You gotta coaches ass all offseason, all training camp,

1002
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,439
Speaker 1: and during the season. I think Jimmy Garoppolo has done

1003
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: no matter what, whether that's the right or wrong move,

1004
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: you know who knows. After seeing Mahomes nowl and lighting

1005
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 1: up Sunday, do you think that a quarterback like Malik

1006
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: Willis can start jumping ahead of better quarterbacks in the

1007
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: draft because of his athleticism. I'm a Patriot fan felt

1008
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: good about Mac until watching the game and knowing the offensive,

1009
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: knowing that offensively it will be hard to compete against

1010
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: those freak athletes for the next decade. Yeah, I mean,

1011
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: Malik Willis is gonna go dramatically higher than he should,

1012
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: just simply because of his physical attributes. If you watch

1013
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: Malik Willis, he is a major project. He makes Josh

1014
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: Allen look like John Elway coming out of college. But

1015
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: when you're big and physical, huge arm, he's probably a

1016
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: lock first round pick. Right or wrong, He's gonna go high.

1017
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I think he'll benefit. He should

1018
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: said thank you letters to guys like Josh Allen and

1019
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Lamar jacks was a pretty big project too.

1020
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: He was not Mr Accuracy in college. I'm tired of

1021
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: people complaining about the O T rules. I'm a Chiefs

1022
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: fan and both sides of the coin flip, and been

1023
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: on both sides of the coin flip. My brother and

1024
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: I were because yeah, you're you lost the game to

1025
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots. My brother and I were thrown around dumb

1026
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: ideas for new O T rules. We thought, run out

1027
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: both kickers, start him at the thirty yard line, and

1028
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: keep backing them up until one misses. No one gets hurting,

1029
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: both teams have a fair chance. That's that'd be a

1030
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: little bit like a shootout in hockey or soccer. Don't

1031
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: hate that again, I don't mind the rules, the rules

1032
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: of the rules. Is it fair? Is life fair? Is

1033
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: life fair? I'm bald. Many of you listening to have

1034
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: great hair? Is that fair? You know? I don't know

1035
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: what to tell you. Life's not fair, so I I don't.

1036
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: It just doesn't bother me at all. Now. I also

1037
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: had the Chiefs money line in that game. But you're

1038
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: the first male or female d m s I've slid

1039
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: into from Michael, my wife and I met before social

1040
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: media was big as it is now. My question for

1041
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: the mail bag, if Rogers goes to the Broncos, is

1042
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: Denver gonna be known as the location where legends go

1043
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: to finish their final years? Peyton Manning, Joe Flacco, I

1044
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: know he's not done. I wouldn't call Joe Flacco necessarily.

1045
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him into Payton Manning in the same breath.

1046
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 1: But I hear what you're saying. But they're trying hard

1047
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: with guys have been in the league rather than build

1048
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: up someone in the draft. Yeah maybe I I you know,

1049
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: Peyton could have gone several places. He chose Denver more

1050
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: because of Elway and they let him run his offense.

1051
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: The Rogers three now would be he wants to come

1052
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: West Coast. I mean, Denver's an incredible city, an absolutely

1053
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: incredible city. I I really don't think we need to

1054
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: overthink it. It is an awesome place to live. And

1055
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: Rogers is from the West Coast. He wants to live

1056
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: in the West Coast. He doesn't want to be in

1057
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay by himself. It could just be as simple

1058
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 1: as that. Denver is a great city. Great cities attract

1059
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: successful people. That's why, you know. It's like, why I

1060
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: want to go to Scottsdale. I think Scottsdale is badass.

1061
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: Why people are moving to Vegas, It's why people are

1062
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: moving to Austin's. White people are moving to Nashville. I

1063
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: come on, I live in the Bay Area, one of

1064
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: the richest places in the world. I drive around. Every

1065
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: place is old. It feels old. It just feels old.

1066
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: We're not building anything new. It's too expensive. Everything's old.

1067
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: You go to Scottsdale, you go to Nashville, it feels new.

1068
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: It just feels it feels fresh. Of course, pro business,

1069
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: it's easy to build, it's less expensive. You know, when

1070
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: you go to these other places. You live somewhere that's

1071
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of old, you know, It's like you know, it's

1072
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: like we're not building anything new here. I think part

1073
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: of it, just like you go to Denver, just feels fresh.

1074
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: And part of it's the air. Just I love breathing

1075
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: Mountain air. Huge fan of the pod. I look forward

1076
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: to listening on my commune. Appreciate it. A question for

1077
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: the pod from Nick. I'm not sure if you've ever

1078
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: been asked, in your opinion, who is the best free

1079
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 1: agent player to get cut by a team to later

1080
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: make another squaw and have a long career in the league. Also,

1081
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: if you ever travel out to Colorado, you should hit

1082
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: me up. We're members at Ravenna Golf Club and would

1083
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: take you out for a round. Yeah. I mean, I

1084
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I have to think about it. Uh. Uh.

1085
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: James Harrison was cut. I mean he's pretty big legend. Uh.

1086
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: That's one that comes to mind, James Harrison. Mike Vrabel

1087
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: I think was cut by the Steelers. Probably. I mean,

1088
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot right there. There's I'd have to make

1089
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: a list there. There's surely a lot. Big fan. Been

1090
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: a massive Chargers fan. My whole life, and I'm really

1091
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: wondering when it's time to move on from Talasco. Since

1092
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers hired him in thirteen, we have zero division

1093
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: titles the only we've only reached the playoffs twice and

1094
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: have a sev record. I know we're always praised for

1095
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: having great roster before the season begins, but it also

1096
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: seems to be disappointing. Well, they hired the wrong coaches,

1097
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Anthony Lynn, Mike McCole, Brandon Staley. Part of

1098
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: it is their owner. Their owner is so cheap. He

1099
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: won't hire Sean Payton, he won't hire Andy Reid, he

1100
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: will not hire a twelve million dollar coach. He hires

1101
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: five million dollar coaches and then they bitch you them

1102
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: all and when they don't win, it's a coaching league.

1103
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't know to let's go. I know Coward and

1104
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: Gottlieber good buddies with him, but it's you gotta get

1105
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: good coaches. And he doesn't cut the check to the coaches.

1106
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: The owner does. And the owner lives for cheap coaches.

1107
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: It's m oh, it's his right. I mean, it's his team.

1108
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: But let's called spade a spade. If you don't have

1109
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: a ten million dollar coach. You're not winning big. Look

1110
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: at the coaches right now. I mean, Zach Taylor is

1111
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 1: doing a little bit with Burrow, but McVeigh ten plus

1112
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: million dollar coach, Kyle ten plus million dollar coach, Andy

1113
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: Reid fifteen million dollar coach. It's costa doing business. It's

1114
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: just consta doing business. And Dean Spanos would rather put

1115
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: it in a savings account and with inflation in America,

1116
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: just losing money. I don't know, but he does not

1117
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: like spending it on his coaches, even though the r

1118
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: O I on a coach, I mean is like incredible

1119
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: hard to say, but I'm a die hard Washington fan.

1120
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: Back to back seven win seasons in the Riverboat Ron.

1121
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: Question is the obvious ire and weak point for the

1122
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: team going for numerous years. What do you think they

1123
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: do this offseason? With top ten cap space, number eleven

1124
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: pick overall and hopefully not a joke of a new name.

1125
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: They need to get a quarterback. I don't know how

1126
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: they do that. Do they trade for Jimmy Garoppolo? Do

1127
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: they sign Marcus Mariota? Hopefully they catch lightning in a bottle? Uh?

1128
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, if Derek Carr became available when they signed him.

1129
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: They have to get a quarterback. Until they have a quarterback,

1130
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: nothing else matters. Absolutely nothing else matters for them. They

1131
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: have to find a quarterback, draft a guy. I don't

1132
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: think there necessarily is, But I don't know, man, that that,

1133
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: to me is your problem. They need a starting quarterback.

1134
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: Who's you know decent from David? Do you think there

1135
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: should be a rule on players returning for the playoffs?

1136
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: In my opinion, the team should have a player active

1137
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: form multiple weeks, or at least have them on the

1138
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: field for a snap during the last regular season game.

1139
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: With guys like J. J. Watt and Derrick Henry, I

1140
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: just feel like it's unfair to rehab guys. But if

1141
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: they're not ready, you can come back in the regular

1142
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: season whenever you want. You just come back in football

1143
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: when you're ready. What if J. J. Watt he came

1144
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: back from a torn bicep labor like it's he wasn't

1145
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: ready week A team saying with Derrick Henry like I don't,

1146
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't see anything wrong with it. You

1147
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: come back when you come back, because you come back

1148
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: when you're ready to play, and when you're ready to play,

1149
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: like I have no issue with it, Absolutely no issue. Football.

1150
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: Guys get injured, wanted on that you come back when

1151
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: you come back. Appreciate everyone listening. UM subscribe to the
