1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Be around the NFL podcast would rather take less than

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: play on the Giants? From the Chris Whistling podcast studio.

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: It's around the NFL take less than play for the Giants.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: All right, shots, fine, that's true for me. It's like, oh, hey,

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: we're the classy organization in New York. Hey, how about

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: you win more than six games in a season? ELI

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: beat you twice? Dan hands us here, Mark Sessler, Greg Rosenthal. Oh,

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: and we have somebody in the fourth chair, an old friend.

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Right before the show started, I said, if he has

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: another son, name him shock. It's Patrick Claiban breaking news

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: another context. But I will not We we were discussing

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the nature of our existence earlier and um I currently

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: right now we're sticking it to we're sticking it too. Well. Yeah,

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: your theory, and it's a sound one, was you need

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: to be rich for three That's why the three the

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: three kid households have been enjoyed children. That would help.

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean I could confirm that I I do enjoyed

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: my children mostly, but like I can confirm the Sesslers

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: will not be having a third child either. If we're

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: breaking believe you on that one. Mark, It just it

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: takes a lot of help, Like it takes a lot

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: of help, It takes a village, and and they've made

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: villages increasingly expensive. But Shaquille claim, you gotta say it's

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: got a ring to it. Shaquille hands. Yeah, that would

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: be interesting. I'll bring him in shack hands. Yeah, I'll

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: set him down, Jackie, shaquil Um. Let's talk day two

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: of the legal tampering period. We're now inside twenty four

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: hours before the league has its happy New Year and

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: all these contracts become official. And what are you doing?

30
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Why are you throwing your arms up? And you just

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: were remind I forgot that, and I was like, that

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: is the whole thing is stupid that the league year

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: starts on Wednesday. Well, by the way, I honestly forgot

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: about that. That it's a common complaine. Have been complaining

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: about that for a long time. It is an incredibly

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: we're just because we'd like to get the details right.

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: For all intents and purposes, The league year began yesterday,

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: so you know, it's not like people are renegging on

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: deals from Monday on Wednesday. Although we kind of had

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: one happened today and we're gonna get to that around

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: the cowboys. I'm just saying, lift the procession. But that's fine,

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: that's that's We've got a whole another calendar year to

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: go on the war path for that scenario. But it's

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: all about It's all about things, right. You need a

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: new thing, and Wednesday is our thing. Right. It's like

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Monday was the opening of the window, and then the

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: thing becomes another thing. We love things here. You need

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: a thing. You have to have a thing. The thing

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: that I the thing that I took away from the

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: heart of the COVID nineteen lockdown, that I'll will always

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: stick with me and and God forbid we end up

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: back in the place every again. Is when you took

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: away the things, the things to look forward to, uh,

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: this this meet up with friends, this vacation, my family

55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: coming to visit, Uh, the start of this opening for baseball.

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: When he took away the things and you were just

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: in a world without anything to look forward to, that

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: was to me as dark as it gotten. Mentally, you

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: need structure, I mean I think you do especially needs structure.

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that Wednesday. I don't know because I

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: take it back and everyone feels the same way as

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you do. But I just feel like, you know. And

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: weeks and then months passed and I was like, what,

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm just unt part of me enjoyed the like mapless

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: chaos of it all for a bit of time, and

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: then it became just we're drinking, and you know, I

67
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, isn't this cool? We're in our little bunkers.

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: We don't. Famously, Mark have been looking for a world

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: jolting event to happen since the start of this. I

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: think you've probably even mentioned pandemic in that mix at

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: some point, and it happened eventually, But don't peg me,

72
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: don't It's like, it's not my needs, something that jolta

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: side of our complacency. Uh, And it's happened. And and

74
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight players, by the way, I just counted off

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: my top one oh one list have agreed to contracts

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: in these first we're looking for the list. I like

77
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: that there air meetings happening. I like that there are

78
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: things in the world that are happening, and I hope

79
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: they continue. I like being part of the world. Okay,

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Sumi Sessler claiming how does it feel patrick to be

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: here for Rosenthal season? The time of year where Greg

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: is the man where this is his world and he's focused. Well,

83
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: first of all, it's always the time of year where

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Greg right here, buddy, go ahead, But it's always it's

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: always correct time. But as you said, then specifically right

86
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: free agency, there's a party behind the glass. We talked

87
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: Grever get on the mic. Graver, I know we're working

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: through this producer. He is learning quickly that this is

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: not the shiny you know, you know your co workers,

90
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: that's not a good to hear it. What time? Greg?

91
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: That was all teed up nicely, and then I look

92
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: at my producer full on conversation with Christie Stapleton behind

93
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: the glass. We can we don't have to No one

94
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: has to know that that happened. I mean tell us

95
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: all sorts of things that people don't need to know.

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: So all right, Clavn go ahead, buddy. Well, as as

97
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: previously stated, all time is Greg time. But Greg puts

98
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: so much energy and attention into the game of free

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: agency and having people know the things that you're hearing

100
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily the real circumstances. There's fake years tagged onto deals,

101
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: there's cap numbers that aren't the real cap numbers, and

102
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: that's where Greg excels what I'm saying. And to be

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: in the proximity of one Mr Rosendult during this time

104
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: is special. To be in the glow the aura, this

105
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: is highly smell. Is this highly uncomfortable? But I have

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: to admit what time Greg so loud? Uh, it's I mean,

107
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: that's that would get you fired up right before you're

108
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: gonna leave the locker room for free agency. I had

109
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: that feeling a little bit. I'm I'm being real on

110
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Monday morning at my house, it's kind of jumping going around,

111
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, writing things down, preparing and I and I

112
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: said to Emma, I was like, this stuff still really

113
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: gets me going. And I didn't say that. I was like,

114
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: this stuff really gets me going. I still feel like

115
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the juice on free agency morning when that when that

116
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: She's like, now, she said, you say that every year,

117
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: you say, you say that exact same thing. Podcast has

118
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: she listened to? Zero, never listened to her. She does

119
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: listen to the jessel Nick and Rosenthal Vanity project. That

120
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: tells me a lot, or at least she yeah, because

121
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: that's more like personal and not about football. I don't

122
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: think the football aspect really, I don't take that. I

123
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: don't take that personally makes sense. I don't love it.

124
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't love it. Um. Now let's get into literally

125
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: zero standing on the shoulder of Giants with Greg Rosenthal.

126
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: Here we go. We're gonna dig into the news. Let's

127
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: hit it graver. Seeing that wasn't as aggressive, but I

128
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: think it was a little prudent and doing things very deliberately.

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Were the New York Jets. Jets Jets, Jets, Jets Jets year.

130
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: This is their time of year. There has not been

131
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: one free agent period that you have not enjoyed as

132
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: there seems to be. There's a wisdom to the moves

133
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: they're making. It's not just drunken sail or spending. They're

134
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: not doing the Jaguars move. It seems like Big Joe

135
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Yes, it only took him half

136
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: a decade to get here, but he's he's achieved that.

137
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Now I've been I've been hurt before, but maybe this

138
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: is different. Get to the Jets in a little bit.

139
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: But well, let's focus on your team, Sessler, because you're

140
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: hoping now I'm not good Sitch over there? Yeah, great, Sitch.

141
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: The Shawn Watson has a market here and let's go

142
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: through the teams. Saints met with him, met with him,

143
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Panthers met with him, met with him, emerging as a

144
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: sleeper team, the Falcons meeting coming the Browns a finalists

145
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: to land Watson, according to reports, So, the man facing

146
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: twenty two allegations of sexual assault has a very active

147
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: trade market and seems to be in a situation where

148
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: he's going to get to pick where he goes. Uh.

149
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: We'll see if there's another team that emerges, But right now, Patrick,

150
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: we have a group, a bushel of teams that seem

151
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: very eager to get into business with Watson. Yeah, it

152
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: seems like the concerns that a lot of people share

153
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: don't apply to a certain a certain subset of teams

154
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: who are willing to meet and discuss. And I understand

155
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: because I've heard people like um Steve Smith said on

156
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: our air earlier this week, the teams want to go

157
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: in there and look him in the eye and have

158
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: a discussion. Like, I'm not really sure what value that

159
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: really has, Um, I'm not sure how much investigation you're

160
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: really doing bringing somebody in and asking them questions. Um,

161
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: But that's that's the direction they're going in. And when

162
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: you discussed the football player. Uh, he's he's going to

163
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: improve all of those teams. Uh, that the scenario is

164
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: going to be better. But how is this received in

165
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: a fan base? How do people appreciate that? We saw

166
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: marks reaction? Um, you know, Greg talked about earlier this week,

167
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the reaction from from Adam and company down there in

168
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: New Orleans not very good, just just to the idea

169
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: of the team pursuing want to work for the team,

170
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: And in terms of it's it's tough. It's tough to

171
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: even reconcile that a team is going to do this

172
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: at this time, uh, considering the circumstances that that are

173
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: out there. So I don't even it's an obvious upgrade.

174
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: But what what are we doing? Like collectively, we're just

175
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? I wonder sometimes the Colts

176
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to him as well. That was shot

177
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: down by the Texans because it's inside obviously the same division.

178
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: And it's notable that a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers

179
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: did not. There are teams out there that have taken

180
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: a different stance. And I would just say, personally as

181
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: a Browns fan, UM, I mean that team has put

182
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: that fan base through so much for so long that

183
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: if this is what you see as your avenue to

184
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: becoming a super Bowl contender, Uh, no, thank you. I

185
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: just I just kind of feel it's just the energy

186
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: around it, everything that has to do with it. Uh,

187
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: there's so much actually in Cleveland under Stefanski and others

188
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: with their current coaching staff, where they've actually put such

189
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: an emphasis on hiring female coaches, hiring female staff. It

190
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: changing the way that you know your organization looks that

191
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: this is a hard right turn in the other direction,

192
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: and it like from a football angle, it's a it's

193
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: super clear to me that we are getting closer and

194
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: closer by the day to Baker Mayfield never playing another

195
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: snap for the Browns because if this thing falls apart,

196
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Browns the first in this race. Um,

197
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: I think he is the next piece to fall out

198
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: of that, out of that roster. But in general, as

199
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: a Browns fan, no interest in this. It is it's

200
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: a weight, it's it's annoying, and it's not worth the

201
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: idea of winning. Not with him. I am curious what

202
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: these meetings are about, because you want to you want

203
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: to talk to him. He's gonna be such an important

204
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: figure in your organization, you want to see how this

205
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: is moving forward. I guess one thing I would be

206
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: looking for if if you were a team was are

207
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: you gonna be as vocally pushing back and unapologetic about

208
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: what happened as you were in the tweet? Because I

209
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: think that even for the most cynical team that doesn't

210
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: care about what he is alleged to have done, you

211
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: would think that that would make a difference. His agent's

212
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: first twet tweet when when he um was not charged

213
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: last week was keep that same energy, basically like if

214
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: you came at us before, like like, you know, you

215
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: better be giving us credit now or or you're not

216
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: part of our team. And Watson certainly had a very

217
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: um confrontational attitude on apologetic when when he was So

218
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: if that's how he's gonna be answering questions, he's gonna

219
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: have to answer questions eventually publicly and still make it

220
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: um as unapologetic as possible while he's battling these civil cases.

221
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: I would think even the most cynical team would have

222
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: some concerns with that, because they have women that work

223
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: for their organization that they presumably care about. They certainly

224
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: care about you would think they're they're fan base, and

225
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: then that would be part of the equation. And that

226
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: it does make me wonder, is like, is that why

227
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: other teams are being floated to get into the mix?

228
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: Because the part where he was comfortable enough to meet

229
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: with the Saints and Panthers, and we're doing a lot

230
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: of speculating, but for that to happen, there has been

231
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: speculation in the league that maybe some loose trade terms

232
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: have been kind of agreed to at that point, and

233
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: that that he's kind of up for those teams. So

234
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: why do you have to meet with more teams? Like,

235
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: why is this still happening? I ad don't. It's hard

236
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: to say because there's so little information that's not coming

237
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: out except from the agent in other news. All Right,

238
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: so this happens, It's not unprecedented, but it doesn't happen

239
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: a lot. A player agrees to terms with the team

240
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: during this legal tampering period and then whoops, changes his

241
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: mind goes elsewhere. And in this situation, that centers around

242
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, the talented pass rusher um who has really

243
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: popped for the Cowboys in recent seasons. He had agreed

244
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: to a deal to stay with that US. It went

245
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: as far as the Cowboys Twitter and social media announcing

246
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: the deal. They had a whole article on the website.

247
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: Someone pre wrote that thing, well pre written article goes

248
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: on and then stepping to mark a lot, remember that

249
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: he got popped. He was like, got banged on the

250
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: like did Jimmy g tape study thing where he was

251
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: going to become the starter? And then I don't like

252
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Boston lost into the universe. So the deal with Dallas

253
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: falls apart, and quickly the Broncos close with Gregory on

254
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: a five year, seventy million dollar contract, a great addition

255
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: for Denver's defense. Uh, people that watch Gregory and and

256
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: watch the game look beyond just the stats which are

257
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: somewhat mundane and say, this guy is a stud who

258
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: will only get better as long as he could stay

259
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow on the field and off

260
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: the field. But Gregory now will be teamed up with

261
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: Bradley chub Mark on that defense. So not only do

262
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: you have Russell Wilson anchoring the offense, now Gregory becomes

263
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: a major addition to the d. The Broncos are cooking

264
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: with Grease. I kind of love this for Denver. Grease.

265
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: It's not grease. It's not something you'd be cooking with

266
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: as a core substance. I think it's comes baking grease

267
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: on that fire though it's blowing up, so that's right.

268
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean that could it could amplify the sinner a little,

269
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: Mark baking great grease in your scrabbled eggs. And I'm

270
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: not the great. I'm not the first person on the panel.

271
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: You should be discussing probably backdoor cooking, outdoor cooking. I

272
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: never actually thought about the phrase cooking with gas, like

273
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: you're putting the gas in the dish or are you

274
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: utilizing gas to heat? I think it's like in the

275
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: grill and stuff or in the stove. Yeah, I think

276
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: people get all sensitive about like cooking with gas stoves too,

277
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: But it's fine cooking is according to several places, including

278
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Urban Dictionary. I'm taking the win. Go ahead, Mark, Okay, Well,

279
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: I love it for Denver. In fact um, a couple

280
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I wrote a free Agent Fits and

281
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: this was I thought the Broncos were the one spot

282
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: that Gregory really fit beyond Dallas because the Cowboys, I believe, Yeah,

283
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: like Johnson suggests that that occurs, but that it's just

284
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: like that, well, they needed it and like they are,

285
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, it was they had the von Miller void.

286
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Their it is, it is. It is a special time.

287
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: But like Dallas, though I guess it was Dallas. Dallas

288
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: put so much time and energy, no thiss And I

289
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: see a lot of people getting on Gregory for this

290
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: this switch here, but I don't really. I think I

291
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: think it had to do with more contracts stuff that

292
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: he bumped on. I have no problem with it. Everyone

293
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: that I've like that that has been inside the Cowboys

294
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: organization that talks about Randy Gregory talks about someone who

295
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: put a huge amount of effort into rehabbing who they

296
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: were and who they are and they love him. And

297
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: so from the risk angle, I think I don't. I'm

298
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: not as caught up on the risk. I love it

299
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: for Denver and they needed this, They absolutely needed it.

300
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking about the I'm like thinking

301
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: about the grease and the gas thing during all that.

302
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, here's what it must look

303
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: for pass rushing help did Juice Upper Front still angling

304
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: to fill a von Miller's size void. Gregory's off field

305
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: issues and injury history making boom or bust, but his

306
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: potential is juicy. That was Mark Sessler a week ago.

307
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: That was a good job. That was a great job.

308
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: Now he's never played more than five snaps in an

309
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: NFL season. He's been eligible to play in the NFL since,

310
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: So that's like, that's uh, that's concerning to me that

311
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: even last season, when he was a total beast, I

312
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: would have had him in the mix for All Pro

313
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: or in through the first seven eight games of the season.

314
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: He then got hurt and when he came back, he

315
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: wasn't the same impact guy. So he has not shown

316
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: the ability to to stay healthy throughout the courts of

317
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: the season. I don't think you can get on him though,

318
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: for changing his mind. Apparently he didn't like the language

319
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: and the contract that allowed the Cowboys to go after

320
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: some of his money. Uh if he was fined or

321
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: suspended by the league more and they they apparently put

322
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: this in everyone's contract. But he was also taking less

323
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: money to stay there. I've thought about this Greggory thing

324
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: a bit because on one hand, it's like, well, it

325
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be a good place to stay Dallas. He's

326
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: comfortable there, he's had all his issues he's and then

327
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: I thought about it, like, is Dallas a good place

328
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: to stay as a as a player, Like they've had

329
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: their share of issues over the years as a culture,

330
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: including this offseason. Maybe it's better to start new and

331
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: move to Denver. I'm just saying they've allowed a lot

332
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: in their in their in their front office, and other

333
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: things have happened there that are discouraging. So maybe staying

334
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: in Dallas isn't like the best way to stay on

335
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: the stream narrow. Dallas is a spotlight city in this league.

336
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: It is a great spot to get on prime time

337
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: to get paid. Everybody looks good in a Cowboys helmet

338
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: and uniform. Uh, it's I think it's still has prestige

339
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: as a as a place to play, and they have, Yes,

340
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: they there's always issues behind the scenes of that organization,

341
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: that's scenes, but they've built a winner again now, so

342
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: that that's a that's a very year for this year. Yeah.

343
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: I do feel like the Broncos are likely to be

344
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: put on television a few times this upcoming season as well.

345
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: And they also signed our guy DJ Jones, who's really

346
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: Nate Tysons guy. Remember you asked them to throw one

347
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: name too low on the list, and I thought I

348
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: had DJ Jones high Adam thirty five, that's pretty good

349
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: for like a rotational guy. But they also signed him

350
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: to a three year, thirty million dollar contract, So that

351
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: is a nice looking front. You got Chub, you got

352
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: Malik Reid, who I think an underrated player. Draymond Jones

353
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: is a pretty good A lot of Jones is up there, DJ, Like,

354
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: that's a nice looking group, pretty good secondary. I'm a

355
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: little concerned you lose Vic Fangio as a play caller,

356
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: but you've got a lot of great defensive players. That

357
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: is a good looking roster. Uh. And don't forget about

358
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: Josie Jewel brought him back two year, eleven million dollar Country.

359
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: It got hurt torres Peck blew out of season last year,

360
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: but that guy could play not more of these teams.

361
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: Like I know, this is not a this doesn't happen

362
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL because you need this like space after

363
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: you get fired as a head coach. But it's like,

364
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: I can't like Vick Fonso, just plug him in as

365
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: your defensivecording or it's less work. He's great at it.

366
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: You've got all the right players for the scheme is

367
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: work to be a head, defensive coording work, not taking

368
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: all the blame. Well, they're saying, just you've got to

369
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: go move off into the new wilderness. But he's he's

370
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: literally in the wilderness working right now. One thing I

371
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: do like it right, But he might be turning down jobs.

372
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's also making money to do nothing which

373
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: would want him. They did hire a guy who I

374
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about zero Everro who is also

375
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: with Rams, who comes from the Fongio tree. So it's

376
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: like they're not changing. Does Brandon Stanley's the number one

377
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: member of his tree and not the McVeigh tree. I

378
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: think yes, because I think well, for so he came

379
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: to John Carroll and like had some great ideas there.

380
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, because he kind of runs Fongio's principles on

381
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: deefit given trees to anybody now, But it makes more sense.

382
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: He's defensive coach. His scheme is the one kind of

383
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: blowing up around the around the league. It's kind of

384
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: he's had some influence there. The Rams here got him

385
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: more attention and then he got the job. But he's

386
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: a Fongio. He comes from the fruit of the fungio,

387
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, like you sometimes try to guess what I'm thinking. Dan,

388
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm guessing what you're thinking, and it's like, can we

389
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: move on from this fongio? I'm done with it? You

390
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: got that right. Marcus Williams, he gets paid. We knew

391
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: what was happening. It's the Ravens that hand out the check.

392
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: The former Saints Suns a five year, seventy million dollar contract.

393
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: Tom Placero reported that the deal includes thirty seven million

394
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: guaranteed former second round pick. Everybody seemed to want Marcus Williams,

395
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: and it's the Ravens who get clay Bon and they

396
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: get him at I think, because Greg and I were

397
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: talking about this, the price for Marcus Williams, it seems like,

398
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the circumstances in New Orleans where

399
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: you have a pretty good player that you drafted that

400
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: you could have kept, but he's he's he's out now

401
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: and he's in Baltimore, and you offered him a lot

402
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: like we were hearing extension offers that they were giving him,

403
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: and it wasn't too different from the one he ended

404
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: up taking. You do wonder if they're a little distracted

405
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: by the Watson thing right now and can't handle that business.

406
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: And there are reports that are on armstead Is is

407
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: kind of waiting to see how that circumstance shakes out

408
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: before he makes his decision, and so there's a lot

409
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: of moving parts there. But I think you can keep

410
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: Marcus was if. I think it's a huge win for

411
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore that they're able to get a guy who's got

412
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: some experience. Of course, there was the one glaring play

413
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: that people probably point out to when they say, oh, Marcus,

414
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: he's been fantastic ever since his rookie season in New

415
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: Orleans and it helps, and you know, I'd like to

416
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: see Baltimore continue. Maybe they could make an offer to

417
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: their top ten quarterback. That sounds like a mini ap

418
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: this miracle he was season too. It was just a position,

419
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: but ever since that he's continued to build his brand

420
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: by playing great, staying healthy, and now he has a

421
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: life chance him. People were in on him. Honey Badger

422
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: was reportedly in the mix for the Ravens, so now

423
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: he won't go there. That's a good looking secondary. Baltimore

424
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: very much believes in building back to front and they

425
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: got hurt last year and it didn't work out, But

426
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: they still have Marcus Peters. They played Chuck Clark a

427
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: lot of money. Now they paid Marcus Williams top tier money.

428
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: You have Marlon Humphrey, who's gonna get the around the

429
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: NFL podcast guest bump uh and have a big time season.

430
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: What wasn't he going to look into the camera for you,

431
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: Mark when he does something good against the Browns and uh,

432
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, destroyed Cleveland like a pick six? He was gonna, Strangely,

433
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: according to what we told him, wasn't apologized to me.

434
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: You're just doing your job that the camera. Next time

435
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: you break the Brown's heart, look into the camera and

436
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: apologize to Mark. It would be a big social media moment.

437
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: But the minute he loves said he forgot about that promise.

438
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: This will be the number one free agent signing of

439
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: anything we talk about. Let's wait what that's a bold stay.

440
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely it will be. This is the the Ravens. Don't

441
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: get these things wrong. This will go down as the

442
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: best signing. Also, like, I totally respect the way that

443
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: they operate in free agency and their secondary You list

444
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: of the names is insane right now, and Williams is

445
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: one of those guys. The more you watch, the more tape,

446
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: the bigger a Saints fan or coach you are, the

447
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: more great things you hear about him as kind of

448
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Devons. Safeties have not gotten paid

449
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: much in the last few years, and free agency was

450
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: nice to see one finally actually get it. Quandre Diggs

451
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: made a decent amount of money too from Seattle, but

452
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: he got top tier money. Marcus. Wait, Hopefully they allow

453
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: the guys to cover and the they're not constantly blitzing,

454
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: and they can get somebody to get pressure up front

455
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: and you got this great secondary allow them to do

456
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: their jobs. They don't really have a lot of guys

457
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: up front now, brand Williams, Clayss Campbell, Justin Ellis stuff

458
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: in Houston. Even by the standards of this show, this

459
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: one feels like it's gonna be a long one. Hey, Graver,

460
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: you gotta go big early. There's not a lot of juice.

461
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: Graver again, just like yesterday, we're not telling you how

462
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: to do your job. But when Mark comes in and

463
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: says the safety signing is the greatest move of all time,

464
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: what was it? You wait? Will be the greatest free

465
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: agent signing of all This offseason I mean he's doing that.

466
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: He's box office right now. Lines like that. We want

467
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: to play that up on social what you did yesterday

468
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: with the social credit to Randy made the little edit job.

469
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: You're right, that was all me. They made funny. It

470
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: was a whole thing, they all, and they built on it.

471
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: I also liked the title you gave episode day one,

472
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: free agent Frenzy, day one call and this guy gets

473
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: it well he does. I'm just saying, you're relaxing on

474
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: the beach. Maybe you come back with the clear mind

475
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: to be titling episodes at that level, or maybe you

476
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: just keep falling behind. But don't get on Dan's bad side.

477
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. All right, We're back. We're back

478
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: when we keep moving on. Also in the news, oh

479
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: trade the Bucks, they have a hole of guard. They

480
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: had a hole of guard because Alan Marpett retired. And

481
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: then who did they lose? Yesterday? Went to Cincinnati. So

482
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: what do they do? They pull the trigger on a

483
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: trade with the Patriots, and Tommy is united with an

484
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: old friend. So Shack Mason goes from New England to

485
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in a trade. The details of the trade

486
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: are as follows a fifth round pick uh goes back

487
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: to New England. So the final two years of Mason's

488
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: contract head to Tampa. So that fills a major in

489
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: need that I would imagine Greg sets Tom Brady a

490
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: little bit of ease because he doesn't like pressure right

491
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: up the middle. And uh, I guess makes the Patriots

492
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: a little bit weaker. You were shaking your head. You

493
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: do you understand this move from doing I think they're

494
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna spend some money in free agency or else. It

495
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: really doesn't make sense because he's coming off a good year.

496
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: He's more of a run blocker maybe than a past

497
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: He's made it All Pro Team, he was a PF

498
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: top five guard. Brandon of Thorn, who I love, who

499
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: really just watches the tape. He's not worried about any

500
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: PFF grade. He said he's the top five right guard

501
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: in the league, and I and I buy it. Like, so,

502
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: why why are you trading for a fifth round pick

503
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: with two years left on what seems like a reasonable deal.

504
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: The only explanation is that Bill Belichick likes to get crazy.

505
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: He likes to feel alive every now and then, and

506
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: he just likes to shake things up. And I think

507
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: they'll be spent. They don't have a lot of cat

508
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: trade my starting guard for a fifth round pick alive.

509
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: Our friend Burke, you know, sent the uh tweet which

510
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: sums up my feelings and Bill, we trust l O L.

511
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: This guy is a maniac. I mean sometimes you can't

512
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: really understand quit the Patriots to follow, please, I've never

513
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: I've never heard of a non Patriots fan that's more

514
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: obsessed than going up and down emotionally with every Patriots.

515
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: It was just a couple of years ago that wasn't right.

516
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: At the launch of free agency, Bill was photographed like

517
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: jumping off the side of a small ship or a

518
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: yacht into the sea on his vacation. So the GM

519
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: I know he's a he's a former Patriots staffer, so

520
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: like the connection makes sense. I'll go help out. Perhaps

521
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: there's some sort of system where if a player meets

522
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: a certain there's an age, right, there's a salary, there's

523
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: a percentage of the cap. And Bill says, this is it,

524
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: no matter how good or how much sense this makes

525
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: for the other trade part that band, where were you challenged?

526
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: You were if you hit the certain age, you're out

527
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: of the bad dating life. That's a great example what

528
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: if Belichick the Bill I don't recall this, but I

529
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: take your word for it. The guy who jumped off

530
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: the side of the ship and into the sea, you know,

531
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: probably lost it. See New England wanted to keep everything

532
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: at order, so they just got a bell chick doppelganger

533
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: plugged him in and nobody knows. This is just like

534
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: a fake Bill makes too much sense because within months

535
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: his quarterback probably discovered it. Wasn't it Like, we're not

536
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 1: even sure that quarterback is the actual Tom Brady that

537
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: you know was doing theredy dressed up as Bill Belichick, right, Like,

538
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: they don't have it like that. The whole story in

539
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: New England right now, there's there's no one on their

540
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff. They've got like seven coaches total and about

541
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: four people in their front office. It's just Bill like

542
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: texting people. Who knows. But what if? It's like, what

543
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: if their whole ethos is what would Bill do? Because

544
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: Bill lost at sea? And then they just have to

545
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of guess what Bellichick would do at this point,

546
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Why would we be so intent on hiding that Bill Belichick,

547
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, passed away in this scenario through drowning. What

548
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: why an embarrassing way to go. Okay, he is. He

549
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: has been very up and down in his career. By

550
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: the way, Jack Mason very injury He's been injury prone,

551
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: up and down. One year he's an off pro, another

552
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: year he struggles. They saved seven million dollars, but it's

553
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: not like they were they sold high on them. They

554
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: got a fifth round pick. So I want to see

555
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: what's behind door number two. Dave was the president that

556
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 1: I can understand. There was a little more. You know,

557
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: he's the president Patriots. And now Dave is a twenty

558
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: nine year old. But people that have seen Dave, which

559
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: was a box office hit, why is it oh big, big,

560
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: very well big numbers it did around the NFL broadcast

561
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: Fridays on NFL network, numbers close to us. That's just

562
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: that for inflation hit. It's like they don't make movies

563
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: like that anymore. You know, it's a movie for adults

564
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: without the costs. Wait, the guy from the Bronx is

565
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: like way into Dave with the rom com. I don't

566
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: know about that alright. And other news with the Buccaneers,

567
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: they have signed Russell Gauge, formerly of the Falcons, three years,

568
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: thirty million, dollars is there just I guess that is

569
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: how it always is, but it seems especially this year,

570
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: all the guys that are wide receivers, everybody's signing for

571
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: the same contracts more or less give it take a

572
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: couple of millions. But I guess that's how it work.

573
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: You were right. Yeah, there were a lot of defensive

574
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: lineman who signed an exact same contract. D J. Jones

575
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: fully fought to Kassi and b J. Hill, all the

576
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: exact three for thirty. The tight ends are signing for

577
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: eight or nine million. This is and and gay and

578
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, Za Jones is like, hey, agent, just tell

579
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: them to give me twenty seven million. They're like, it

580
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: won't work. And then the Jaggers like, we'll do it.

581
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: That's what everyone else is doing. Russell gauge anyway, so

582
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 1: the Bucks add more wide receiver talent. He's pretty good player,

583
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: I think Patrick Clayband. And now he's got Tom Brady

584
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: throwing to him, so that's cool. Take him way before

585
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Za Jones um Russell Gauge on an offense that really

586
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: had like pass cor Darrel, it was Russell age that

587
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: that was the only thing that that was working for

588
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: this this Falcon's offense, and he had Pitts as well,

589
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: but I know what you're saying. Sometimes pitts would disappear

590
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: and they engage. Was the guy that was stepping up

591
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: in terms of like the time that Matt Ryan had

592
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: was there was very little to go around success wise

593
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. But Russell Gauge still put up sixty six

594
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: catches on ninety four targets, and um, he's going across

595
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: the division. It's like subtract from the foul. Yeah, you

596
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: stole it from an Atlanta team that, like you, I

597
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: had like two weapons to begin with. It feels a

598
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: little unfair Robin hoodish in reverse. But uh, I think

599
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is his voice, kind of like he capitalism.

600
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: He had six hundred plus yards, fifty catches and three

601
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: touch on just in the second half of the year.

602
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember a player that you didn't really have

603
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: any thoughts about for most of their rookie contract that

604
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: looked better than Justin I couldn't believe how good Russell Gauge.

605
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: I kept confused. I used to confuse him with Justin Gage,

606
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: the other Titans guy. That's how much he sort of

607
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: blended in and he was incredible. He reminds me a

608
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: lot of Chris Godwin. He can play inside, he can

609
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: play out, he can get open. Uh. The quality of

610
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: the catches he made when he looked amazing. So it's

611
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: kind of nice Chris Godwin insurance because I think they're

612
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: very similar. And then when Godwin is healthy enough to play,

613
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: Oh great, you got Chris Godwin and Chris Godwin light.

614
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: We can use them both. This will be fun. Right

615
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: when the Antonio Brown went and kicked himself off the team,

616
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: similar style too, that left a void. And this makes

617
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, uh the bus how much things

618
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: can change in you know, seventy two hours. They went

619
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: from a team that was seemed to be completely rudderless too, like,

620
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: all right, this might be another NFC Super Bowl level

621
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: team on Fridays. Now we literally mentioned Mike Glennon five times.

622
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, why exactly? That was my question? But

623
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: apparently in what context? Apparently he would play hypothetically play

624
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: football for the Tampa Bay wasn't Blaine Gabbert. Oh my gosh,

625
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: well yeah, signing, you know, signing the greatest quarterback of

626
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: all time in my mind. Uh still you know playing that. Well,

627
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: we'll do that. That's how important it is. But it

628
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: is crazy. The players they've also gotten back. We also

629
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: talked about it when Brady did his Fugazi retirement and

630
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: we were like, man, even though they you know, they

631
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: got two years out of it, that was a huge

632
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: win for the Bucks. Like everything you could have wanted.

633
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: Colleen is staring at us through the glass. I lost

634
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: my train of thought. Everything you could have ever larger

635
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: man that just passed by, I thought I was giving

636
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: him a thumbs up. So he's a big fan of

637
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: the park. Maybe, But anyway, two years would you would

638
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: have signed up for the Bucks. You got a title

639
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: out of it, you're relevant, you won the NFC South.

640
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: Now we get another year. This all feels like bonus time.

641
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: Now they could be getting three more years, more years

642
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: all right. Now. The Chiefs, the team defeated by the

643
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: Bucks and the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.

644
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what they're up to. They signed Justin Reid,

645
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: the safety for formally in the Texans, three years, thirty

646
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: one and a half million dollars. So that ends the

647
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: Honey Badger era. I wish I'd like to get a

648
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: little more about the Honey badger situation. Um, I know

649
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: he he's known to freelance and could be a challenged

650
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: to defensive coordinators. But a guy who's known as like

651
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: a champion, a great locker room guy, they let him walk.

652
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: He's still I know, we're still early in the process,

653
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a new team yet. Baltimore went

654
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: in different direction. Anyway, Justin Reid arrives as the replacement

655
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: the number sixty eight overall pick in eighteen. Uh. He's

656
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: been a starter his whole time in Houston, and now

657
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: Greg he joins the Chiefs. Upgrade down grade? What do

658
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: you think I love Justin Reid? In this first two

659
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: seasons of his career, he looked like a future All Pro,

660
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: one of the best young safeties in the league. This

661
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: deal just makes me think that the rest of the

662
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: NFL views whatever is happening in Houston as inconsequential, because

663
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: Justin Reid really struggled last year. At one point he

664
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: also got suspended for breaking team rules by David Culley,

665
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: and it was like, wait, a mind, whatever happened in

666
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Houston the last two years. Read's kind of known as

667
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: a very competitive, UH leader type type of guy who

668
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: wants to win, and he was frustrated his dumb in

669
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: real time. Everybody was like, ut, and I think this

670
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: is right. This is the the chief saying like, we

671
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: watched you, we know you're good. The team you were

672
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: on in this you know is not good, and we're

673
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna not worry about it and give you top tier money.

674
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: So that made sense to me. Chief's defensive end, Frank

675
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: Clark has agreed to a restructured contact contract to remain

676
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: with Kansas City. Uh. This is a bit of a

677
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: surprise Mark. A lot of people thought Clark would be

678
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: a casualty. Instead he is still with the team and uh,

679
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: they hope that he kind of turns it around because

680
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: he's never quite lived up to the billing when he

681
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: joined the team as a QB terrorizer, Right, he hasn't.

682
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: He's also had injuries. He had a like a felony

683
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: gun charge that you know, caused some fair disruption at

684
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: one point, right, I mean he had a twenty six

685
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: million dollar capits. So it's I and I think it's

686
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: a win for the Chiefs to get him back, but

687
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: you can't get the same version of him you want

688
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: to do. We trust that he's going to suddenly become No,

689
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: three times better. I don't this one mystified me until

690
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, a capologist explained it. Basically, they were going

691
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: to eat it was Eric eager on PFF. It was

692
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: like a multi deserve I know. Well it was like

693
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: a couple of different people. So it was tough. But

694
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: that's essentially they were only played one more million dollars

695
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: one million dollars more to keep them. Then it would

696
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: have been to cut him anyways, So you consulted multiple

697
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: capologists on Frank Clark's contry. I just it's if it

698
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: was my season, I wouldn't need a capologist. I just

699
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: saw a Twitter threat about it that made me think,

700
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: because I Frank Clarks stunk last year. Uh and he

701
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: was one of the richest defensive ends in the league. Guy,

702
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: I think he's only on this team because he had

703
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: stinky He had two sacks in the Super Bowl Jimmy

704
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: g So, I think that's like that. He's he's had

705
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: some goodwill from that, but he hasn't played well. But

706
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: it would have been almost equally expensive to cut him

707
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: because that contract was so onerous that they gave him

708
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: essentially a the best contract almost any defensive end in

709
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: the league got and so it's hard to cut guys

710
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: off of that. And so if it's it's just as

711
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: cheap to keep him, then you might as well keep him.

712
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 1: I like it. Greg. In other news, Rams left tackle

713
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: Andrew Whitworth Egon retires after sixteen seasons in the NFL.

714
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: That's how you want to go out. You want to

715
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: go out as a champ. You want to go out

716
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: as a left tackle who protected the quarterback, who made

717
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: the big drive at the end of the game. And

718
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: you get the trophy. You have the cool trophy claib

719
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: on the man of the Year, Walter Peyton many so

720
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: you get that, you get a ring, you get like

721
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: what a hundred eighty million dollars, however much he made,

722
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: probably a ton because he was a left tackle of

723
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: high esteem for many years, even if you stuck on

724
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati for a while. And now he walks, hopefully he

725
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: can walk, and he'll do the thing I'm sure mark

726
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: where he loses a hundred pounds in six weeks and

727
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: becomes a normal looking human again and goes out with

728
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: the next phase of his life. Others whispers that he

729
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: is interested in broadcasting, and so he could do the

730
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas thing where he suddenly becomes like one of

731
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: the hottest five people in America. I mean he's yeah,

732
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be in the enfoms is

733
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: one of the five hottest guys in America. I think

734
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Joe I would say this, like from where Joe Thomas

735
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: when he was like at his beefyst as a left tackle,

736
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: to what he turned into like even in current current

737
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: current hour, like is a shocking. I have to say this.

738
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm gonna say this for all the

739
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: beefy guys out there. You just assume because he drops

740
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: the weight, now he's more attractive. What about the whole

741
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 1: community that liked him as a big and beefy That's

742
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: that's why it's it's total eye of the beholder, you know,

743
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: subject of scenario. But I do think that most would

744
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: say that Joe Thomas post playing career like upped his

745
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: game a little bit. I mean, he just looks like

746
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: a warrior. So why don't why am I still you

747
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: don't need to keep still discussing this not good for

748
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: his heart. He had a job and he catered his

749
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: body to his job, and now he's got a different job. Whatever,

750
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,959
Speaker 1: body type, Joe Thomas or anybody, Andrew, any body type

751
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: is fine, go for it right live your dream. He

752
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: was not saying that that at that time, and other

753
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: bodies you were. You were doing a little shaming there,

754
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: and I personally body type, I mean, it's like, who's

755
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: going for that? Nobody? So it's like, I am able

756
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: just to see what I think generally would be attractive

757
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: in someone seven million dollars according to spot Wreck, that's

758
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: also attractive. It feels like it should have been more more.

759
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: I always I think PFF. I don't want to give

760
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: him too much credit, but I think they helped him

761
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: get paid. I really do. He's he was like one

762
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: of those guys that was number one in the PFF

763
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: rankings year after year and people are like, huh, Andrew,

764
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: where this guy from Cincinnati? And eventually he ended up

765
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: getting that top tier money. Whose career finished any better

766
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: than Andrew Whitworth getting Walter Payton Man of the Year

767
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: Award with a rousing speech on Thursday and then winning

768
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against your former team on Sunday and

769
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: he might end up in the Hall of Fame for it.

770
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: And he had this beautiful moment with his kids on

771
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: the field after the game. That was daddy last football game.

772
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: Let's do it no more. I'm be on with you guys, Okay,

773
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: I promise I'm gonna be a better dad. I'm gonna

774
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: be around more. I'm gonna coach the crap out of

775
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: you boys. That's nice, well learned, and you can hear

776
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: in his voice when Tom Brady was saying the same thing,

777
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: It's like, I can't wait to be around you kids

778
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: all the time. Now you around the house. I can't

779
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: wait to be on that wife of mind all the time.

780
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: And he just never in his voice. You could hear it.

781
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't genuine. You hear it, Andrew, he was right

782
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: in move. It's authentic. He also got the MinC drop

783
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: moment at the parade where he called out the teams

784
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: that said he was too old. It's like that he

785
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of like Brady. He's helped change the expectations of

786
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: what a forty year old tackle can do. They did

787
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: sign Joe Nopuman. We mentioned it yesterday in the show

788
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: to a nice A nice replaced out who the oldest

789
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: player in the league. That we're shut it down. Well,

790
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, other than that. Yeah, that's Whitworth was to

791
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: probably a kicker. Is there a punter? What about it's

792
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: gotta be a punter out there that Reggie Roby, No,

793
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: not Reggie Ruby. But I've got some say that. I

794
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: mean the two guys, oh, nilt six. I don't know

795
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: what's up. I was just saying, alway straight hand. Are

796
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: the two guys you think that like went out on top.

797
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: They didn't win Walter Payton Man of the Year two

798
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: days before that. Oh, he wanted this year. He wanted

799
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: this year and incredible bowl. No, I forgot. I don't know,

800
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: but it's cool. It's cool that he wanted. How about this,

801
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that's not as high up on

802
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: my personal like radar, like who won Walter Payton Man

803
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: of the Year. I know it's important to the guys.

804
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: That's cool though. It's a good speech. Hey, you've also

805
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: got a rash of individuals who are thirty nine. But

806
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: he's both co quits still around, you know, you know

807
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: it's not still around with the rams. Let's head to

808
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: the we know there's the kicker club. Let's head to

809
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: the punter punch bowl mixer. Not as exciting the punch

810
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: Bowl Mixer a little old fashioned fuddy duddy you could

811
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: call it, but it's it's got its niche and it's

812
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: a nice little gymnasium where they you know, the hoops,

813
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: they they raised the hoops and then they you know,

814
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: they pulled the bleach bleachers back and open up the

815
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: dance floor. And yeah, the punters and their friends and

816
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: significant others have a nice time together. So john Yeah,

817
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: it's intimate. Johnny Hecker is no longer a member of

818
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: the Rams. Uh, which is I mean, if you're not

819
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: paying attention to the what's going on at the Punter

820
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: punch Bowl Mixer. This surprises you because Hecker has had

821
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: an amazing career and Bill Belichick one said he's godlike,

822
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't remember what he said. He's very high and

823
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: one of the greatest punters of all time, one of

824
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: the greatest punchers of all time, great passer, so a

825
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: weapon in the in the trick play game on fake punts,

826
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: but his game had fallen off in recent years and

827
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: now we could see that the Rams had decided to

828
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: move on. So I imagine, um greg that he will

829
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: have a robust market because he's Johnny Hecker. But the

830
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: Old West is um is he more name than game

831
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: at this point? Yeah, I don't know. I think he'll

832
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 1: get another job. I don't have a of us smart.

833
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: He was struggling there. He was up and down in

834
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Certainly those games we were we were at.

835
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: Uh did not have had some bad punch in the

836
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl too, So I don't think, um, he had

837
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: a great year, but he will be remembered. Finally, he

838
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: was the longest tenured ram My son has a number

839
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: six jersey. It wasn't for Hecker. He was just six

840
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: years old when he got the jersey. But I'm a

841
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: little annoyed now it's it's been deemed irrelevant. You look

842
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: at that way, it's fair. Yeah, only thirty two years old.

843
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: You would think, oh, he's thirty nine, so he's falling off.

844
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: But no, so maybe he's just in a little bit slump. Also,

845
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: the largest punter you will ever see. We we've been

846
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: at rams games of the old Colosseum. It's so far

847
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: and when he walks by you, you're like, there's no

848
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: way that's the punter. He looks like a lineback, and

849
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: he looked different than everyone else at that around that

850
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: punch bowl. He's gonna be a little look, a little

851
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: more intimidate. Oh, that's true. He made a lot of

852
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: big place. But now, are you body shaming people for

853
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: height because he's taller all of a sudden. No, I'm

854
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: saying it's he's a striking presence as a punter based

855
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: on based on what you're based on his physical not

856
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: because he's five ft two right. No, he's not happy.

857
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: Do you do you see how quickly you fell into

858
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: the same trap. I don't quite I know where you're going,

859
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: but I don't gone. Sorry, Patrick, I think I think

860
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a bones, fossil and reunion in Dallas.

861
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: Need a good one, need not connect. Punter uh Brian Anger,

862
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: one of the only punters in the history of the

863
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: Top one oh one. UH is on their Cowboys punter

864
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: maybe the best punter in the league last year out

865
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: of nowhere. He's a free agent. One little tidbit, Yes,

866
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: from behind the glass, Randy offered this Jason Peters age forty.

867
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: He has dustin colkitt beat by about it looks like

868
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: eight well less than a year hanging there. Jason, you

869
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: can do this. You gotta find another I've wrapped that

870
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: we're not gonna come back with any more updates. But

871
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: Randy came in, he absolutely did and save the day.

872
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: He's just passed Randy McMichael on the all time NFL

873
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: Randy Power rankings. Bullock is next. Not a lot of

874
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: competition there. Yeah, who we got, We got Michael Bullock,

875
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: got Moss one. Oh yeah, I mean that's that's gonna

876
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: take you a while. It's gonna, i mean get it.

877
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: Catching Randy Moss is gonna be tough. But what you're

878
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: doing though, keep doing things like that and you know,

879
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: about seventeen or eighteen years, you'll be there. It's about

880
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: culative effort. Before we take a break, it's time now

881
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: for news and notes presented by up Work, where you

882
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: can build the team that will build your business. Learn

883
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: more at upwork. I'm giving the Jacksonville g a you ares,

884
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: the upwork treatment because they've been insane, uh in terms

885
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: of their moves. We we talked about all the different

886
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: acquisitions yesterday as they essentially are looking to do a

887
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: reboot and saying take two with Trevor Lawrence after the

888
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: abject disaster of Urban Meyer and the season. So anyway,

889
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: here's the update around the Jaguars. They released Miles Jack,

890
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: who was a big time player for them once upon

891
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: a time but has fallen off a bit and now,

892
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: at six years old, he hits the open market. Uh.

893
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: They also have resigned Terry Godwin, the wide receiver. But

894
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: there was another move. I believe, Greg, you want to

895
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: help me out jes Za Jones. Yes, the aforementioned Za

896
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: Jones gets a lot of money for a Raiders wide

897
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: receive that I had not done much. Did we say

898
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: Jones yesterday? I mean you brought it up earlier just

899
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: as a as a joke, but it was the most

900
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: mystifying contract thus far, I would say in free agents?

901
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: Did we did we bring up a Jones yesterday? It

902
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: happened after I was at home when I saw the contract,

903
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: and normally I wouldn't you know, it seemed lst. I

904
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 1: always remember where I was in bed watching in some

905
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: great tennis action at in in Walls when I learned

906
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: the Z Jones contract and thought it was a misprint.

907
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: It was like, what twenty twenty four million for a

908
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: guy who hadn't had a hundred yard game in about

909
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: eight plus games until late last year. It was very

910
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: It was very strange. You love that event, that is

911
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: you go every year. I was there, I tried to.

912
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: I was there on Saturday and met up with our

913
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: old friend the gold standard, Zack Goldman, And Yeah, if

914
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: I could just sit and watch live tennis all day,

915
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: every day for like a week straight, that sounds like

916
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: a fun. Now. I know this is not Courts of Thunder,

917
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: but since that Vanity podcast is in hiatus, I must

918
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: ask you were you were you there for the Naomi

919
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: Osaka incident? No? I was, Me and Walker went. So

920
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: we just we left around six pm. We did not

921
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: hit the night session, so you were not the heckler

922
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: it was. It was a long day, hot weather, good, good, good, alright,

923
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: So the Jaguar is very busy. Are they're gonna be better?

924
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Claim have they gotten better than the

925
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: last two days? I think the Jags have gotten better.

926
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: Was the expenditure worth it in terms of Za Jones

927
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: and and Evan Ingram? I think the Ingram contracts fine. Um.

928
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: The z A Jones win causes some questions, But spend

929
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: the money. I don't care. It's not my money. People

930
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: get really like about that. All they need to manage

931
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: the cap and and you have to spend here, and

932
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: I think there are better football team, which is the goal.

933
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: I'd like that they're trying to win games. Um, I

934
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: think they could have spent the money more wisely, but

935
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: I do think they have improved. It's like the Patriots

936
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: theory last year. It's like, even if some of those

937
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: signings didn't work out, and some did, some didn't, they

938
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: just needed players that could play, and the Jaguars certainly

939
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 1: were that. It's just there there mix of receivers for

940
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence for instance, TJ. DJ Shark went to Detroit

941
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: for one for ten. It's like, is Za Jones an

942
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: upgrade from DJ Shark? I don't. I don't think so.

943
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: The uh, the collection of players z A Jones, Marvin Jones,

944
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram and running back it's like Robinson

945
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: and eat N and that's still a pretty poor group overall.

946
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: Was shocking different than what they floundered amid a year ago. Well,

947
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is studying the tape. Obviously wasn't there last year,

948
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: and he's made Yeah, they they wanted to reboot and

949
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: we'll see if it works. That was News and Notes

952
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: one of those Patrick Claibron kindrel ads because nobody reads

953
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: a kindrel ad like Claibroon across your fingers. We'll be

954
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: right back. Great job. Claibron was one of my favorites.

955
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: Just taking a shot. Awesome read there. But I once

956
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: heard uh, you Dan and Daniel Jeremiah reading kindrel ads

957
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: back to back? Which was it? Because I was kind

958
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: of not totally focused on the first ad and I

959
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: caught some of what I missed the second time. Right there?

960
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: You do advertising by I demanded my my contract of

961
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: zero point zero zero dollars for the ad reads, uh

962
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: to do back to back ads to make sure that

963
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: the message was getting through to the populace. You care

964
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: about the consumer, I care about the advertiser them also.

965
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: First and foremost, let's talk the Jets, who are very busy.

966
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: My goodness. I like everything they've done so far. The

967
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: latest news they signed safety Jordan Whitehead, formerly of the Bucks,

968
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,479
Speaker 1: to a two year, fourteen and a half million dollar contract. Uh.

969
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: You know one thing, um that I always watched them

970
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: your studying, you know, tweet decks up while you're getting

971
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: ready for the show. When a move like this happens

972
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: and Jordan Whitehaud goes to the Jets, and I see

973
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: the beat writers like quote retweeting the side of like ouch, oh,

974
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: this one's gonna hurt the Bucks. Oh they're they're gonna

975
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: this one pains them to see him get away. I'm like, yes,

976
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: one of the great twe our moments. And something like

977
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: that happened. So they absolutely needed to replace Marcus May

978
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: who's a free agent coming off an achilles tear. And uh,

979
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: he'll join Ashton Davis. It's safety as it stands that

980
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: could be in the business to add another safety will

981
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: see um. So that's a nice signing. They also add

982
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: to their offense. We talked about um. They they made

983
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: some moves yesterday. Ce j Osama, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals,

984
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: joins the Jets in a three year, twenty four million

985
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: dollar contract. There it is again that eight or nine million,

986
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these tight ends getting that the tag

987
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: was right around ten. So I liked what we saw

988
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: from Muzama last year. And the Jets have been in

989
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: desperate need of somebody who can catch the ball and

990
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: make plays at tight ends. So that addresses that need

991
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: on some level. Uh. They also uh resigned Braxton Barrios,

992
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: which I think we hit on Tevin Coleman as well.

993
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: So the Jets been very busy, not making huge splash

994
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: moves greg but making moves that are addressing, like Jacksonville roster.

995
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: That is Barren. But I just like the way they're

996
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: going about it with Joe Douglas right now. I like

997
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: Jordan's Whitehead. He improved every season. Basically didn't miss a

998
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: snap the last three years. I think if you just

999
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: watched those two playoff games this year, it's a small sample.

1000
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: He was probably the best player in their secondary in

1001
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: those two games. Made a lot of big plays. Good tackler.

1002
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: They were in on Marcus Williams, and Marcus Williams would

1003
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: have been nice. White Heads a very different player more.

1004
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's got to make more plays against the run.

1005
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: But for the money, I think it it makes sense.

1006
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: I think it worked out well. They just need to

1007
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: add quality starters. It was I'm a big locker room

1008
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: guy to Bengals. May not and DJ read cornerback of

1009
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: the scene signs three years as well, so I listen,

1010
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: this time it's different. Maybe this year is different that

1011
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: DJ read. Maybe this year will be better than the last. Well,

1012
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: it can't be a whole lot where Salah knows how

1013
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: to coach up the secondary individuals. So I like the

1014
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: uh the vibe. Right, he was there when DJ Reid

1015
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: was drafted, I believe by the forty Niners made very

1016
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: little impact as like a fifth round pick there, then

1017
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: went to Seattle and was awesome. That's one of those things.

1018
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: If he was a first round pick and he put

1019
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: together the year and a half that he just put together,

1020
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: and and he's not a tall guy, he might be

1021
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: like five nine or something like, he would have gotten

1022
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: double the money just based off draftbed agree he was

1023
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: great for Seattle, uh the last year and a half.

1024
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean love of averages. At a certain point, they're

1025
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 1: gonna hit on a mix of players that makes them

1026
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: relevant again. But I mean, listen, the Zach wilsonon cannot

1027
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: be understated. He needs to take a significant step forward.

1028
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: So I would think that their next move, whether it's

1029
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: the draft or maybe an Allen Robinson, you gotta add

1030
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: more around the kid. But we're very close to me

1031
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: feeling legitimately spicy offensive line, new red zone target, draft

1032
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 1: brings wide receivers. I mean, it's never a great sign

1033
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: as a fan base when you're leaning hard into the

1034
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: law of averages. Will bring us back around. Yeah, it's

1035
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: gonna work. I mean, the Cincinnati Bengals were three plays

1036
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: away from winning the Super Bowl this year. Anything's possible.

1037
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: We mentioned here's the lines you mentioned DJ Shark. He

1038
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: goes from the Jags to Detroit on a one year,

1039
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: ten million dollar contract. Obviously, they need to build more

1040
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: playmakers out around Jared Goff to give them a chance

1041
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: on offense. I'm not saying Shark is the answer, but

1042
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: he's had his moments. They also add to their defense

1043
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: Charles harris Um, the former first round pick UH is

1044
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: resigned to a two year, fourteen million dollar contract. He

1045
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: had a nice season for them last year, career high

1046
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: seven and a half sacks, ten tackles for loss. So

1047
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: they say, we're keeping that guy in our building in

1048
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: all right. In other Midwestern news, the Bears have lost

1049
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: James Daniels and the guard has signed with the Steelers

1050
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: on a three year, twenty six and a half million

1051
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: dollar pack. So uh a day after um Mitch Travisky

1052
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: signs with Pittsburgh, they add to their offensive line. They

1053
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: also agreed to terms with center Mason Cole, formerly of

1054
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: the Vikings, on a three year deal and Patrick Uh.

1055
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: It goes without saying that Ben Roethlisberger was shot last

1056
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: year and maybe in the last two years, but it

1057
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: didn't do him any favors, that the offensive line was

1058
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: well below average. So they are addressing that they have

1059
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: addressed quarterback. We'll see if these guys can play the guitar.

1060
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: And it seems like an admission that the much discussed

1061
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: nice air guitar there like them, the much discussed Uh

1062
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: offensive line overhaul of did not go as planned. All

1063
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: that Nazi accomplished he did in the face of tremendous

1064
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: adversity and um and so you like to see it.

1065
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: You you like to see teams that admit that, hey,

1066
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: this did not work out, the plan did not work out,

1067
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: the players did not work out, and we're coming under.

1068
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the Bengals a little bit, you know. Yeah,

1069
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: and I like I like what Pittsburgh did. Maybe they've

1070
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: added three offensive line James Daniels got a decent amount

1071
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: of money he was. He was solid for the Bears,

1072
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: a young player who's played a lot. And they also

1073
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: signed Mason Cole. I think you mentioned they just needed upgrades.

1074
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: I I was talking with with our guy Nate Tics

1075
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: about this. This is where I do think it makes sense. Like,

1076
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: what's the difference between these guys, Anna Lake and Tomlinson?

1077
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: Who got top shelf money, um or or some of

1078
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: the guys that got huge dollars. I like what the

1079
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,479
Speaker 1: Giants have done. They added John Fliciano from Buffalo. Uh

1080
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: and who else did they add? I'm forgetting right now

1081
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: another guards? Right who who can play? Who's like the

1082
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: difference in these guards feels like it's not a huge

1083
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: amount if you can coach them up between like the

1084
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: middle two lower guys. You just need guys. The Giants

1085
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: didn't have guys that the Steelers didn't have guys. They

1086
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: got some guys and other news trade alert spicy spicy

1087
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: sizzler you got. I think this is West's boy, somebody's boy.

1088
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: When we all we all like this, he did, we did.

1089
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 1: He did fall hard for Chase, but I was into

1090
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: him too that preseason where he like dominated. The Browns

1091
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: have acquired linebacker Chase Winovich from the Patriots in exchange

1092
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: for a linebacker Mac Wilson. So there you go, a

1093
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: little linebacker for linebacker swap. You get a handsome, fair

1094
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: haired Winovich, and I know that means a lot to

1095
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: you Mark than eleven sacks and twenty and then he,

1096
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't used the same way. They don't have

1097
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney, they don't have Tack McKinley, and so they

1098
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: they're looking for pass rushing help and I think that

1099
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: they're not done on that front. Mack Wilson is from Alabama,

1100
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: very hard working player who I think is west and

1101
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: I also talked about Mac will smiles because there'll be

1102
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: moments where you could see it and then it would

1103
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: go away. And so I think he will actually fit

1104
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: well with the Patriots. Window witch. I don't understand. He

1105
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: always seemed like he was a really good pass rusher

1106
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: and he was always on Bill Belichick's bad Well maybe

1107
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: he kind of like that they would be a little bit,

1108
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know why they needed a pass rusher.

1109
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: They never played him. I was reading some like tweet

1110
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: replies to one of the Pats beat reporters when they

1111
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: announced it and apparently he he kind of got on

1112
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: the bad side of some people by being way out front,

1113
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: like doing a ton of commercials and off the field ventures,

1114
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: which I'm not saying likes. That's why he got on

1115
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Belichick's bad side when connecting dots Twitter about that, right,

1116
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, get him out of here. He likes

1117
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: to do commercials and make money on the side, because

1118
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: don't you think Patriots fans have become like so indoctrinated

1119
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: as such Belichickites, so like we also don't agree with

1120
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: that culture. Don't promote yourself. You've got to bury this

1121
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: thing that like the Patriot way is to be a

1122
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: certain way and like it's it's to his wayte and

1123
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: have and have good place. But they do have their

1124
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: they do have their types. I mean their their free

1125
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: agency has been almost comical. They bring back Matthew Slater,

1126
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: who you always got to bring back, uh, one of

1127
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: the great special teamers. Brought him back. Nick Folk brought

1128
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: him back. Kirk Ference's son brought him back. It's just

1129
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: like a bunch of guys that Belichick likes to have.

1130
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: But here's the dirty little secret. Like the Patriot a

1131
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: worked because Tom Brady was and tom TV every second

1132
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: and they changed. You know they did. They didn't make

1133
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year here with the rookie quarterback. That's

1134
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: hard to do. Tom Brady, by the way, um, you

1135
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: know famously unretired yesterday or day. Remember the recycling back

1136
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: into yesterday. We are because I have I have something

1137
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: to mention about. I forgot earlier and it was brought up.

1138
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: I've heard from some listeners today on on Tuesday's First

1139
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Things First, hosted by Nick Wright. I'm a fan of

1140
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and uh and I got brought up on apparently as

1141
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: part of this show. Come on, no, I know he

1142
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: was bully going to subscribe to Greg Rosenthal Boston Media.

1143
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I was talking about Tom Brady. Can you play that again?

1144
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: He was talking about how that's Tom Brady's dad. Essentially

1145
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: was saying that Tom Brady got bullied into retiring by

1146
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the media, that like the media was reporting this stuff

1147
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: and so then he was He literally said that he

1148
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: was bullied into retiring media. Come on, no, I know

1149
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: he was bully going to subscribe to Greg Rosenthal. You

1150
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: are a bully because is like the least intimidating member

1151
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: of the NFL media. Were you linked into Boston media.

1152
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: There is nothing you know that the media was reporting

1153
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: this and he was just using me as a as

1154
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: a as a person who could represent any and there

1155
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: would have to be some more connection. He also threw

1156
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: and I I didn't want to give them credit. Later on,

1157
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: you guys did that? Oh my half a billionaire, one

1158
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: of the world's most famous people's son, greatest football player

1159
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: ever got bullied by Ian Rappaport. You won't imagine how

1160
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: hard it was for him. He didn't wanter retire, but

1161
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Tom Belasoro released and get out of here this. Idiots

1162
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: are they talking because the father is saying that, like

1163
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: the concept that Tom Brady would because you'll did unretired

1164
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: because media, nobody's and the way he's sort of saying

1165
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: their names is that they're they're not like he was

1166
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: so um you know, intimidated or or pushed into retiring

1167
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: because all these places were reporting it, not that I was.

1168
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: It is a preposterous idea. We literally have celebrated the

1169
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: man's birthday on air every single breathlessly report every venture

1170
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: he undertakes, the movies, commercials, it's NonStop. Nobody has any

1171
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: power over Tom. Why would Tom Brady's dad, Like, I

1172
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: also think it's nonsense. But why would tom Brady's dad

1173
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: cook that up at a thin air and tell the

1174
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: radio station that was aggressive by clay By there that

1175
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: was like a Cesslerian right there. Why would tom Brady's

1176
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: dad just cook that up out of thin air? It

1177
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: is confusing to me, and I just say it though.

1178
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: Maybe tom Brady's dad's the one who love to love you, bro. Oh,

1179
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Just run the rest of my life

1180
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: with you, every day, every hour, every league. I mean,

1181
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: we were on that paper the minute it was announced

1182
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: that he was. He didn't even miss an O T

1183
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: A practice, He never even filed the paperwork. Yeah, but

1184
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: the minute you saw that a month it was that photo,

1185
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: you knew that was not working. He was so worried

1186
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: about the bucking. First of all, he realized he couldn't

1187
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: get out of there, and then he was so worried

1188
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: that they could have any sort of competitive disadvantage in

1189
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: terms of not keeping these guys that his boys were

1190
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: about to leave ran Jensen and you can make signings

1191
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: that he had to get it done. Uh. Since we're

1192
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: bringing up the Patriots, let's just to touch on two

1193
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: other moves. They made. They resign uh Nick Folk to

1194
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: a two year, five million dollar contract. He's been a

1195
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: a real steady guy. He's thirty seven years old. Mark,

1196
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I know you were really hankering for that age data

1197
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: on Folk. He's he's gonna turn thirty eight in November.

1198
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: So that's that's for you. Thank you. He looks he

1199
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: looks great for his age. He's been very he's been

1200
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: very good for the Pats. He's a journeyman of all journeyman.

1201
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: And then James White, former Super Bowl hero, resigns uh

1202
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: two year, five million dollar contracts, so he ain't going

1203
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: nowhere and he uh will continue to share a backfield

1204
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: with Damien Harris, ra Mondre Stevenson. Oh, now I'm remembering.

1205
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: I was kind of an annoying fantasy backfield last year

1206
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: for you. Yes, but Damien, Yeah, he stepped up in

1207
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs. That guy is a player. He's the best

1208
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: player in that backfield. Like Stevenson, well, I think he's

1209
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna be. There were waves last season was funny. If

1210
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: you were tracking that backfield closely, it was like Damian

1211
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: Harris season, it was like this guy is unbelievable, and

1212
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: then he got hurt Romandre Stevenson had like a hundred

1213
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: and thirty yard games, like this is the true stud

1214
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: of this backfield. Oh yeah, and then Damian Harris is

1215
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: by the end of the season is scoring four touchdowns

1216
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: a week in the regular season. It was like, Okay, then,

1217
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: like Brandon Bolden comes in, and you know, I think

1218
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: the fantasy issue with the Patriots backfield is more the

1219
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: Patriots handle injuries than this is the host by the

1220
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: way of NFL Fantasy Live on NFL Network, So do

1221
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: you want to get in? I know what they're doing

1222
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: with the network cover this week. It's like, Oh, we're

1226
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: give us a little fantasy spin. What's that's it? That's

1227
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: that's it's also my job to just throw it to

1228
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: those guys and then them do it. I just think

1229
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,439
Speaker 1: because people think that there's some oh the the team

1230
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: and it's Belichick, we never know how they We don't

1231
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: know because like we just don't know who's gonna play. Yeah,

1232
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: this guy had a torn face for the whole season,

1233
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: they did another receiver. That's right at shake Mason. Money

1234
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: is going check Mason now next time. Marcus Grant saying

1235
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: to You're like, no, man, you're just the host that

1236
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: don't say anything. Said the footage of you saying he

1237
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: has a torn face, Well, we didn't have that information.

1238
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: That's new information. Face The whole thing's face off. Face off,

1239
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,919
Speaker 1: which I'm sure that the box office numbers were face

1240
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: off much better, very good, better than Dave. Maybe I

1241
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: would guarantee it. Well, now we're moving the we're moving

1242
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the goalpost. Now. It went from Dave was a bomb

1243
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: to now it has to beat face off, which was

1244
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: peak Travolta cage. I never said it was a wonderful

1245
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: surprise for the studio. I think surprise hit for the studio, middling,

1246
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: broken arrow maker. Why don't they make movies for that

1247
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: like that anymore? It's adults, you know. It's like, maybe

1248
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch Superhero. It's just like a

1249
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: mid budget movie. I like this guy, this guy exists.

1250
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's finish this up. It's time to go.

1251
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 1: H I tried to bang out that Patriots news for

1252
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: you before, but you know, I think we're good. Anything

1253
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: else's bar have signed cornerback char Various Ward, formerly of

1254
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, three years, forty two million dollars. So that's

1255
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: a nice signing for the Nagers, right. It's one of

1256
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: those guys that it's anytime you watch him like this

1257
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: guy seems really good, and then PFF grades him really highly,

1258
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: and yet no one never kind of mentioned him as

1259
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: one of the better cornerbacks in the league. And but

1260
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 1: NFL teams know they watched it, and they paid him

1261
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: like one of the better corner They have a young

1262
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: secondary Emmanuel Moseley and Thomas who was you know, very

1263
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,560
Speaker 1: hot and cold last year. But again, I trust that

1264
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: defense to coach those guys up system. Danbry Thomas was

1265
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: a on Today's but I'm looking I have been. I

1266
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: did a lot of my research on the oldest players.

1267
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: Now you're asking me someone on the other and I

1268
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: didn't know if you have all bases coverage in the

1269
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: age game right now, but I will find out. I'll

1270
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: find out for you. While you discussed the next thing

1271
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: you discussed, all right, we got one more thing to discuss,

1272
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: and we took a trip to the local high school gymnasium.

1273
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: The puncher, punch club, punch bowl mixer. Now we're going

1274
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 1: to go to the kicker club. This is where the

1275
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: cool people laying out. This is the this is the buzzy,

1276
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: this is the get behind the velvet ropes. Join us

1277
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: because you know he's popping bottles. Young wicker. Five years.

1278
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: Kickers don't get five years twenty four point to five

1279
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: million dollars eleven and a half guarantees. No, it's better

1280
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: than a million dollars a billion dollars that's what Justin

1281
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: Tucker gets on his next deal. But cool will take

1282
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: this locked up through his age thirty two season, second

1283
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 1: highest paid kicker in the league, trailing only the off

1284
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: fore mentioned Justin Tucker, who's making five and it should

1285
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,879
Speaker 1: be ten. And I'm literally not joking. That's how valuable

1286
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: he is to his team. And he is a one

1287
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: of one. Justin Tucker only makes only makes five million

1288
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,600
Speaker 1: dollars a year, five million. That seems absurd to me.

1289
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: It seems like an opportunity to explore. Yeah, that's that's

1290
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: a little crazy if you if you really think about

1291
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: no offense to fully Fatakasi, who I liked a lot,

1292
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 1: but the fact that uh, Fatakasi is making double What

1293
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: makes saying that's pretty Tucker who actually creates points with

1294
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: his feet and he does it at a at a

1295
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 1: level that we've never seen before. All Right, anyway, he

1296
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 1: needs to hold out and change, you know, do it.

1297
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: He needs to be like levy on Bell for running backs,

1298
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: except more effective in terms of changing the market. You

1299
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: know how he was doing it for the running backs.

1300
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: Tucker's just got to sit out until he gets more money.

1301
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: Should hire, doesn't It's the unselfish nature of that levy

1302
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: on Bell hold out that always, you know that stuff.

1303
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: He should hire like Odell's dad. They put together just

1304
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,839
Speaker 1: like a clip of all the other kickers and Ravens histories.

1305
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: Suck left like Matt Stover was an excellent kicker. Well, no,

1306
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: that was before they moved so well, legendary figure, obviously

1307
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: an excellent tradition. Ravens kicks. Abrey Thomas, by the way,

1308
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: twenty two years old. Listen to this factoid born on

1309
01:11:55,439 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: nine nine. There is h Matt Stover's fifty four by

1310
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: the way, make sense. He was kicking in the nineties

1311
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: and you know early aughts Patriots will have him in

1312
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: for a tryout later anyway, kup was awesome last year,

1313
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: eighty seven or ninety four, seven, ninety four in the

1314
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: past three years and makes all his extra points thirteen

1315
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: of fourteen from fifty plus. So he when we watched

1316
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: how he did his business up close five ft away,

1317
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 1: we were standing on the sidelines right next to London,

1318
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,440
Speaker 1: right in London, and we were impressed at the intensity

1319
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: and how seriously he took his job. Not really like

1320
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: we wouldn't think it, but it's a raging intensity throughout

1321
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: the game. Also converted multiple onside kicks and the dead

1322
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 1: ball onside kicking as well. He's right shout out strong

1323
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 1: guy too, you know, very thick in the legs. He

1324
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 1: actually he does the thing where he cuts the bottom

1325
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: of the pants too. He needs those thighs to breathe.

1326
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Nice move. I only get that insight when you are

1327
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,719
Speaker 1: down on the field literally once good note, we wish

1328
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: you were there Mark. It should be said that Mark,

1329
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: due to health issues, was not able to join us

1330
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: in London. Wasn't the same without you, and we understand.

1331
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: Bringing up young white wus thighs gives you a little

1332
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: fomo and I apologize. It gives me motivation to get

1333
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: back to London or at least to a Falcons game.

1334
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Patrick, you've said it all, You've come here,

1335
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: and this is a big show to be on. I mean,

1336
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: we don't just hand out the golden ticket to be

1337
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: on the legal tampering period episode unless we know the

1338
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: guy has the goods. Patrick was on last year's Free

1339
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Agency Frenzy. It tells you everything said just second and

1340
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 1: another really strong episode from you. I mean, there's just

1341
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 1: no other way around it. And uh, you know, life

1342
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: is good on a beach during the biggest week of

1343
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: the offseason, But what's more fulfilling being behind the glass?

1344
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: Certainly maybe smarter from a career standpoint. I'll leave it there.

1345
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: Let's see the top ten free agents available. Drown Armstead

1346
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: at number one on Greg's list, still out there, Von

1347
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: Miller number three, stiffing around. Supposedly we'll see Vonder little

1348
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,719
Speaker 1: like has a I believe a ranch in outside of Dallas,

1349
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: trying to figure out your list. Here goes from one

1350
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: to three, so they're just pulling it out. They're taking

1351
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,839
Speaker 1: players that were signed in putting them at the bottom.

1352
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: So Chandler Jones out of the Ranga like it because

1353
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: you see where their original RECU is. Okay, so Tehran

1354
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: number one, Von Miller three, Chandler Jones A little surprise.

1355
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: He has not found a team yet, but it's still early.

1356
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: A lot of people were doing work for his agent

1357
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: over the build up to the start of free agency.

1358
01:14:56,160 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: But generally when a player doesn't sign now through what

1359
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: is it, thirty six hours, almost it's a sign that

1360
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: that was got some phony stuff. If you had the

1361
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: money that he wanted, he would have signed by now.

1362
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Not that he's not going to get a great deal,

1363
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: but he's not getting the deal that was expected and

1364
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,759
Speaker 1: maybe people were promising. Honey Badger is out there at six.

1365
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson out there. He was eight on Greg's list. Uh,

1366
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: that's the top ten remaining players. Also notable players in

1367
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: the top twenty. O'Dell. That feels like it's going to

1368
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: happen with the Rams, but we don't know. Stefan Gilmore,

1369
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown, Winston Wagner, Clowney so Darius Smith and Colias

1370
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: Kimpbell some some Gilmore to the Jets top. It feels

1371
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 1: like the Jets are in a lot of these, just

1372
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: like being involved in the negotiations, So you don't know

1373
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: how serious it is. But some Gilmore Jets chatter. Also,

1374
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: I knowed Rich me and he said that that is

1375
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: not a target for the Jebs. But I noted that

1376
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 1: Jordan Whitehead is a cousin of Darrell Revs. So how

1377
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: about that? Okay, enough time has passed where my frustration

1378
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and anger towards Durrell's second time with the Jets has passed,

1379
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: and I want him to be a part of the

1380
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Jets family forever. So I'm happy to hear that it's

1381
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: a big step to access to the well. I mean, listen,

1382
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: I mean he literally stole from them. It takes two.

1383
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: Aren't you more mad at the franchise? He didn't he

1384
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: didn't work hard like Flags five forever. I think people

1385
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: think of him as a patriot. You know what an

1386
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: important part of season he was? He really was. Um

1387
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 1: you're a bad guy. Um. Alright, So we'll be back

1388
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: again tomorrow for the official New Year uh, and then

1389
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: maybe Thursday. Let's see, we'll see if you do it

1390
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: down again. We managed to stretch it into well over

1391
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: an hour anyways, but it did slow down today, right.

1392
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 1: It depending on how things play out, but we'll probably

1393
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: have two more shows this week and then the around

1394
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,840

1396
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:09,120

1397
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 1: you're invited to sit a show out. Um, Mark, I'm

1398
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: more concerned about, like, let's let's be as relevant as possible. Well,

1399
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,679
Speaker 1: that's you know, sometimes less as more. It's what you're saying.

1400
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: If if there's less information, always to give me another option.

1401
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: We could just change around the days we do it.
