00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast has lived long enough to

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: see themselves become the villains that hit close From the

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley podcast studio, It's around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas.

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm joined by a hero, longtime friend, Mark Seesler. Are

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: you doing? But are we villains now? Not villains? But

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: we were just talking about right before we started how

7
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: listening to some older clips from the show, Um, there

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: was an innocence and now with experience comes a different feeling.

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: So I guess I somehow equated that in my head

10
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: two heroes and villains. Did we sell out to the

11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: man over time? I don't know. Maybe that's part of

12
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: today's show is trying to fight that. My paycheck tells

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: me that I've sold out to nobody. But I will

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: say that, like, maybe you know, if you want to spinning,

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: possibly we have more wisdom and with that comes more

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: cynicis and we were callow youth back then, callow. I'd

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: like to go back to that place because I was

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: listening to some of those clips and we've seen the

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: salad days, Salad days. Wait a second, what's this is that?

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Pmar call Call? There's call in Wolf's music there's a

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:30,520

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: Don't mess where, don't do it, don't do stupid, don't

23
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: mess where, don't don't By the way, we're all sell

24
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: out as colleens tables a four pack of Kelsey Grammar

25
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: from Fraser's beer, Faith American Ale that she's getting for

26
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: free and handing over to me. I think the you

27
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: and Mark should split this. It's a gift not from me,

28
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: from Kelsey Grammar, really from his he has it. He

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: owns a brewery. This is his brewery and I met

30
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: him on a flight. And then though I get beer

36
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: Kelsey Grammer who made fun of him on the Donahue Show. Um,

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: and now it's our official beer. And and Connie, I

38
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: couldn't help I I hope I'm not speaking out of turn.

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, welcome to the podcast. Hey, thanks,

40
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: When when Kelsey was chatting you up in first class

41
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and then started applying you with all this alcohol. Did

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: you ever do a Google search and see that all

43
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: fourteen of his wife's look exactly like you. He told

44
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: me that he met his current wife on a flight,

45
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: and we were on a flight at the time, so

46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: um yeah. And then he got my address, so I

47
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: think it starts a lot of I did it just

48
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: for the story so I could come and be likemer

49
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,360

50
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: gigantic pizza that I had transported from Philadelphia. Nothing to

51
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: be concerned about. Let's let's get into some things, Conny,

52
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: because it's been a while. You were with us at

53
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: Combine and that was great, and a couple of things

54
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: wanted to take away from Combine, and Ricky, I'm gonna

55
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: need your help in a second to do some quick googling.

56
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: First of all, one of my favorite moments in our

57
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: work travel history occurred after we were leaving the steakhouse, Um,

58
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: the famous steakhouse of course, with the name always sat

59
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: almost Saint Almos. We're leaving. It was me, you, Mark,

60
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Greg Uh Ricky. We had a nice we had a

61
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: nice crew there and we're walking out the door into

62
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the cold feb you are a knight in Indianapolis, and

63
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you here like, hey, Don. I

64
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: was like, who didn't recognize that? I turned around and

65
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: it's a listener of the show, and I wish I

66
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: remembered his name right now. But he was like super nice,

67
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: and it's like, I know you talked about that this

68
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: is a good steakhouse to go to and and you

69
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: were gonna be here. So he had And then in

70
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: the middle of the commentary with me, you know, it

71
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: catches his eye, this one right here, and he stopped

72
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: speaking and he looks over and he goes, oh, book,

73
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: everything worth it. It was the best moment and my

74
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: career maybe thinking about that now, how he's sending books um.

75
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: And then. So that was one thing I loved about

76
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: the combine, Connie. The other thing I loved was, uh,

77
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: you learned something, didn't you? Something got revealed connected to

78
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: head coaches and what they're paying attention. Okay, So I

79
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: have very good intel here that one of the thirty

80
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: two coaches in the NFL is very upset about a

81
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: ranking that came out that he was involved in, and

82
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: it was the hotness rankings, and he felt that he

83
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: was far too long. I guess there was someone that

84
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: came out that rated and ranked NFL coaches based on

85
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: their handsomeness there the hotness factor, Ricky, Can you find that?

86
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: Can we? Where was it? Was it like a on

87
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: a website somewhere? I assume people were tweeting about it. Um,

88
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: but let me look. I think it was kind of

89
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: a little random. But he was specifically upset that he

90
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: was behind. I think he came in like maybe twenty

91
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: on the list and not great. He was behind Bruce Arians,

92
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: which he was unhappy about. He was behind many coaches

93
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and this was confer would buy the head coach himself

94
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: the GM of the team and uh, someone else in

95
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the front office. Can is he like? Is he younger

96
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: or older in scope? He is? Um? Probably it's like

97
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is annoyed or something. No, but I think

98
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Andy Reid might have been ahead of him. See that

99
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: if I would say he's an our in our age.

100
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: Are you looking at the ESPN Southwest Florida page. Uh,

101
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a I got it off some New Orleans

102
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: based things. So he's so upset that he was ranked

103
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: so low on this that he's decided to take the

104
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: entire offseason to get in shape and proved to everyone

105
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: that he should be higher up. I knew it this.

106
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: This is amazing to me that the coaches are plugged

107
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: in like this. But it's also a sign that this

108
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: wave mark of younger coaches. They don't all look like

109
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: Wayne Fonts anymore, and they all read at the Internet,

110
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: and they all care about their looks and everything. And

111
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: now that now we know, thanks to Colleen's dogged reports,

112
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: that you are the new insider. And wait a second.

113
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: One other great nugget about this is he was having

114
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: this coach was having a conversation with Matt Lafleur and

115
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: he walked The coach walked over to me and I said, oh,

116
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 1: there's number one, huh? And he knew immediately, like without

117
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: any context. I said that, and we hadn't even talked

118
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: about it yet, and he knew immediately what I was

119
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: talking about. Oh my goodness, that's got under his skin.

120
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: You have blown the roof off this now I found

121
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: it because here's La Flora number one, and Colleen, feel

122
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: free to abstain. I don't want to put you in

123
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable situation, but Mark and I will be happy

124
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: to share our thoughts on the top ten hottest coaches

125
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: um La floor one, Brian Floores number two, since dismissed

126
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: under do you agree with that? When that was still

127
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: still handsome men? No longer a head coach, so that

128
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: moves up my man, Robert slid at a number two.

129
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Still no sign of a certain Cleveland coach. Cliff Kingsbury

130
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: number three, Mike Tomlin four, Sean McVeigh five, Mike Vrabel six.

131
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Kevin Stefanski buried at seven and check

132
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: at eight? Zaddy what Kyle Shanahan nine. Pete Carroll rounds

133
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: at the top ten? Now, Debbie hands this would sign

134
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: off on that. Deb She's been loving Pete carrollson's ninety

135
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: three with the Jets. But for his age, he is

136
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: a very good looking man, nice smile, pepper hair. I

137
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: think that Sessler heard from my mom about her feelings

138
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: on Pete Carroll. On one of the first times that

139
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: we met you and West, my mom decided to unload

140
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: about how much she hates Pete Carroll. Seemed to be

141
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: a sticking point with her. I think Dan Campbell gets

142
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: stinged a little bit here. Um. I think he should

143
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: be higher up um, and you could certainly make a

144
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: case that some of the other young guys, like let's

145
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: say Nick Sirianni here, maybe he deserves to be had.

146
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean Andy Reid is behind Sirianni, but Arthur Smith

147
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: and Eddie read it right next to each other, Sean

148
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: Payton buried in the back end. Whoever, this annoyed coaches though?

149
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this was not a poll of thousands of people, correct,

150
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: this was one person. We've been doing hotness rankings on

151
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: this show for a decade, wet rankings. Well, but we've talked,

152
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: we we've done some like you know, how the coach

153
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: looks overall. We discussed that offhand. But if this was

154
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: a list put together by one subjective person, uh, maybe

155
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: the annoyed coach shouldn't take so much offense to me.

156
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: But not there. Who knows what list they were going

157
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: off of though, too, because there's a lot of lists

158
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: I think floating around out there in the ether. But

159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: you know what, this is a coach that likes a

160
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder. It sounds like it's motivated them

161
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: to improve body and mind. Do I should I? I

162
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: don't want to be unfair and or mean spirited. So

163
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: don't take this that way. But they are public figures.

164
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: So do you want to hear the bottom five according

165
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: to this, Yes, that's that's where i'd start, probably, to

166
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: be honest. Uh my guy, Mike McCarthy, speaking of Daddy's

167
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: he is uh fifth to last, followed by Mike Zimmer

168
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: no longer with the head coach ranks, Ron Rivera Matt

169
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: Rule coming in the thirty one and and and dead

170
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: last Vic Fangio no longer a head coach. That means

171
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Rule has some catching up to do. Now we have

172
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: a whole proper new coaches as well, which need to

173
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: be restorted. So maybe we'll check back in on this,

174
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: But that let's not let's not lose the biggest storyline

175
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: here that the coaches are wildly plugged in on this

176
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: and annoyed that there's internet discourse about who's the best

177
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: looking coach? Right, the idea that they're tucked away in

178
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: some bunker eating Chinese food with no connection to the

179
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: outside world is not accurate. What's that sound, Oh, it's

180
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Vince Lombardi rolling over in his grave. Everything's a competition. Competition,

181
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: football sports, that's what we're about, and we're gonna get

182
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: to everything that's going on around the league here with

183
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: Connie Fox and the Sizzler, uh including I think this

184
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna be fun. Greg is on um vacation

185
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: well learned and um, he's gonna be disappointed to learning

186
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: miss this because it's been a while, but the return

187
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: of one of our favorite segments from the old days,

188
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: Qualace two fantas And you know what I was thinking, Mark,

189
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: because it's been a while, it's probably been years since

190
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: we did this set, which, by the way, is it's

191
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: it's the translation the literal translation. Mark. Well, you know, Dan,

192
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: you and I were together yesterday and we actually asked

193
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: a Spanish speaking person and they just disagree to this,

194
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: But I think it is what is your fantasy? But

195
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: in a previous episode you called it what is your

196
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: fancy um, and we asked a Spanish speaking person at

197
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: it at an eatery um if fantasia checked out as fantasy,

198
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: and he totally disagreed with us. So that that that

199
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: that's how we came up with the segment. Because we

200
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: came up with a segment called this was like seven

201
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: eight years ago what is your Fantasy, and then just

202
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: plugged it into Google Spanish. When we got that, Brandy

203
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: back here, Chavez, he's gonna settle the score, right, Randy,

204
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: what do you got? What is the translation of what

205
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: is your fantasy? There? It is there? It is qualace

206
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: do fantasia. Okay, see that was our original question, right,

207
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: all right, so we're accurate, honestly, Okay, thank you, Randy. Well,

208
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: then what was this other what was this other Spanish

209
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: speaking person attempting to accomplish with us? I don't know

210
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: what whatever he said we translated and it didn't seem

211
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: to check out. Different countries are different words. I wasn't. No,

212
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where he came from originally, but let's

213
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: let's get so it's qualace to fantasia. I like that.

214
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: And how about we put a coal in on there

215
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: because it's been a while. Qualacea very regressive. The return

216
00:12:49,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: is that, right? Is right? Randy back? Well, yeah, actually

217
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: we would love that us do Fantasia like yeah, and

218
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: then I added, it's tough for ls beautiful you can

219
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: do that, Ran, Yeah, we can, and but you're an

220
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: m v P behind that class. We thank you, buddy.

221
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get to that. Fantasy scenarios either or

222
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: type situation. We have to make a decision, all right,

223
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: but first let's do some news. One caveat at eleven

224
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: o six pm of every night, a small eleven like

225
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: figure with black eyes appears by your side to take

226
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: a three by three millimeter chunk of flesh out of

227
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: your body with his razor. Like that's just a small

228
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: clip of a past. Qualas do Qualas do Fantasia, we

229
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: called him, and now it's fantasia. That episode was unhinted,

230
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: like I was back and listen to it, by the way,

231
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: just real quick, and the first thing I heard was

232
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Greg say, I love watching Blake Bortles, and I was like,

233
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: all right, this is it ended up with that with

234
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: a goblin like flesh eating care was well before we

235
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: were being monitored by anyone else in our building. Hence

236
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: the innocence we spoke over the top of the show.

237
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: And also great to hear Chris Westling's voice and his

238
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: laughter there. That was awesome. Um, all right, let's get

239
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: into the news. Let's start with the Patriots. Now. The

240
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Patriots last year, Connie, you'll remember that they were the

241
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: quote unquote winner of free agency. They were the big spenders.

242
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: They spent more than anyone. They gave out number one

243
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: tight end money to two guys, which was like it

244
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: should have been a bit of a red flag there,

245
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: but you know what, it worked on some level because

246
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: the team improved with Mac Jones at quarterback, of course,

247
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: and and got to the playoffs um two years after

248
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. And they've been more quiet this year and

249
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: even have lost some players, uh, including a Pro Bowl

250
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: cornerback of course, and it makes you think, where are

251
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: the what are the Patriots doing? What are they have? Two?

252
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Are they actually getting better? Is the Bills rise up?

253
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: And of course the Dolphins look like they're rising up. Well,

254
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: they made a move. They finally made a move that

255
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: you could sink your teeth into. The Patriots acquire a

256
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Davante Parker and a two thousand fifth round

257
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: pick from the Dolphins in exchange for a third round

258
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: picked the third round pick. So the Patriots have been

259
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: active on the trade market. We had heard about Robby

260
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Anderson in the mix, but it's DeVante Parker in a

261
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: rare a f C East on a f C East trade.

262
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: Your thoughts This is a total Belichick move, just making

263
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: the move for a veteran wide receiver. I feel like

264
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: that is something that a lot of times works out

265
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: for the Patriots and doing that deal with Miami when Miami, Um,

266
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: but look at Miami. There we go. It fills a

267
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: glaring need with Um Parker, who he's got a lot

268
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: of upside. He's big, he's physical, he's good after the catch,

269
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: he can play all three spots. It's an affordable contract

270
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: and no, so now they don't have to be so

271
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: thirsty at the draft for a wide receiver and it's

272
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: a potential win win for everyone because it's exactly what

273
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and the Patriots offense needs right now. They

274
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: don't have another wide receiver like Parker and he steps

275
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: immediately into a number one wide receiver role. It also

276
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: lessens the pressure on Nelson Aghalore, so he can get

277
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: more time in the slot potentially, and Parker gets a

278
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: fresh start with a new team, maybe a chance to

279
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: hit the reset button there. I mean, they just need

280
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: him to stay healthy, Um, but if they can do that,

281
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: it really might work out. I like Jacoby Myers too,

282
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: and if you if you throw in Hunter, Henry John

283
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: new Smith a galore, and Parker, it's it's not a

284
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: bad cast at all. I mean, I think if you

285
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: one thing for all of New England's brilliance, if you

286
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: look at who they've drafted at wide receiver, be at

287
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: first round, second third, over the past you know, decade,

288
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: it's been abysmal. It's been a blind spot. It's the

289
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: opposite of the Pittsburgh Steelers and what they had done

290
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. They have not been able to do that.

291
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's almost an admission of like they

292
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: were looking for someone you mentioned Robby Anderson. I think

293
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: this is a good fit for DeVante Parker. I mean,

294
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: when when Tyreek Hill went to Miami, this was the

295
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: obvious next move for DeVante Parker. I mean everyone ever

296
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: we're saying he's out the door, and so here we go,

297
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: um to that point, and I'll go from the A T.

298
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: N Era, which is two thousand thirteen onward. Their their

299
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: failure to address the wide receiver position UM leads to

300
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: having to go to free agency in the trade market,

301
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: and those don't always work out either. But here are

302
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: the wide receivers they've drafted since two thousand thirteen. Aaron Dobson,

303
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Josh Boys, Kembarel Tompkins, Jeremy Gallen, or Gallonne, Malcolm Mitchell,

304
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: Devin Lucien, Braxton Barrios who's now productive for the Jets, Nikkill,

305
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Harry Jacoby Myers. Uh, these are all guys. Myers was

306
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: undrafted and he's been a decent player, but uh, they

307
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: they've struggled on that front. Now. DeVante Parker is interesting

308
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: because he's a former first round pick. UM. He definitely

309
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: fits the mold of a UM, big body outside receiver,

310
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: the number one that Mac Jones needs to take the

311
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: next step. Now you look at his production and he's

312
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: only had one big year and that was two thousand

313
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: nineteen when he went seventy two for twelve oh two

314
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: and nine touchdowns with Ryan Fitzpatrick right with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yep.

315
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: And so he's entering now his age twenty nine season.

316
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: So it's not a slam dunk. It's not as flashy

317
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: as if they went out and got Tyreek Hill or

318
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf or whatever. But maybe these are the type

319
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: of moves that fly under the radar and end up

320
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: being more successful. We will see. But it makes you think, also, Connie,

321
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins, who once they traded for Tyreek Hill

322
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: and have Jalen Waddle, Davante Parker becomes someone that they

323
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: could move move on from that they were confident. Sending

324
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: him in the division makes makes you think that maybe

325
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: they're not so high on his upside going. It's pretty

326
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: telling how much they what they think of him that

327
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: they're going to face him twice a year. But I

328
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: think that the Patriots know the potential with him because

329
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: one of Parker's best games ever was against the Patriots

330
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: and stuff on Gilmore just a few years ago, so

331
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: did not forget about that at all. So they know

332
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: that that is somewhere in him and maybe they can

333
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: unlock it all right. Speaking of the Dolphins, Xavian Howard

334
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: what are the kids called x? He received the bag

335
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: five years ninety millions. He had three years remaining on

336
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: a five year, seventy five million dollar contracts signed in

337
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen, So add two years another fifty million.

338
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: He's now the highest paid corner in football. So he's

339
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: locked up into his thirties. Uh, this was a player

340
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: mark that has been very productive. Uh. Three pro balls

341
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: in the last three years led the NFL and interceptions. Um,

342
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: a guy you want to keep in the building. And

343
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: after some acrimony last year. Now they are all, yeah,

344
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: that hold out last year. I mean there were whispers

345
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: and thoughts that he might move out of Florida and

346
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: out of Miami to somewhere else, and they kept him

347
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: with a restructure. So this was coming in. I think

348
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: that there's I really like one thing that's happening. Um

349
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: and I'm now I know it's not all Mike McDaniel.

350
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: It's Chris career too. But they are finding good players

351
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: and bringing them in his free agents. They are keeping

352
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: their own guys. Mike mc daniel is not one of

353
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: these coaches who floats into a roster that is half

354
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: broken and good luck and see where you are three

355
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: years from now. They have a lot of pieces and

356
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, remember Byron Jones was annoyed

357
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: with what was happening with Xavien Howard a year ago.

358
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: They have both of them still. They found a way

359
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: to keep them both. It saves us um an anti

360
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: drama going into the summer, because I do think that

361
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Howard was a candidate to hold out again if he

362
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: didn't get last year was a patch. It's like, we'll

363
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: keep you around. We're gonna have to address this down

364
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: the road and now they've done it, and the Dolphins

365
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: said that they would revisit Howard's contract this offseason after

366
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: they tweaked it in August. But it's first of all,

367
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: I love that the team made good on that because

368
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to keep this defense together. But it's been

369
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: kind of It's kind of crazy to me a little

370
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: while because his agent said that this has been obviously

371
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: in the works for a year, So that's crazy to

372
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: think that he had four years remaining on his tract

373
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: and they were already in talks to renegotiate, and Byron

374
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: Jones obviously getting paid set this all into motion. But

375
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: my random thoughts on this are, I really like the

376
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: idea of Xavien Howard and Tyreek Hill going at each

377
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: other in practice. And also, I'm going to scrub my

378
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 1: social media from all NFL network things to see if

379
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: I can get a raise because that seems to work.

380
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: It seems like that have a Yeah, it seems to

381
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: have a positive effect, that's for sure. But Connie, Miami

382
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins very intriguing team this offseason. I'm setting the over

383
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: under at nine and a half winds. What are you

384
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: going with? I'm gonna take the over while banging the over.

385
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: How about Islaly will too? I think this is going

386
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: to be one of the more intriguing to You're both wrong.

387
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: They will be eight nine, I don't think so keep

388
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: that soundclip. Yes, although isn't my my fascination of Mike

389
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: McDaniel because this happens with like three coaches a year.

390
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: There's another world where it goes totally south and he

391
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: completely I live in that world, the world of reality.

392
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: They've done so much in this month, though I've seen

393
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: I've looked into the future, and you will be very disappointed.

394
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: I know, Mark, You're in a very uh tough spot

395
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: fan base wise. Um and if you start thinking about

396
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins as a team to jump over to, I

397
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 1: would advise you now not a candidate. I'm sitting in

398
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Greg's seats, so I should also mention don't forget that

399
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater is there too. That's important to see, you know,

400
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: carrying the torch for Rosie as he's called. How are

401
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: you doing with the Greg bot? By the way, how's

402
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: that coming? The Greg? But I can only I can

403
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: only have my fingers in one project at a time,

404
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: and the Mark one is really taken on so much

405
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: of my free time that I don't you know, maybe

406
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: somebody else could take on the Greg bot project. That's

407
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: that seems like a lot of work on several levels.

408
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay out of the Greg box. I heard,

409
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: I heard your work and what you put together with

410
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: that bot. While I was gone, I was like, do

411
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: I really need to dress myself and come into the

412
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: office today, because what is the difference between this and that? Nothing?

413
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I missed you, but I guess from a

414
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: show content it delivered everything that Mark would. I'm content

415
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: driven and it did everything that I could do. So

416
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: bang another drop right there? Added Ricky added, all right

417
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: to forty Niners of the past in the news starting

418
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: with and this is, you know, speaking of Greg Just

419
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: terrible timing. Frank Gore is signing a one day contract

420
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: to retire with the forty Niners and join the San

421
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: Francisco front office. Gore played forever one of the leading

422
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: rushers in NFL history, certainly has certainly has a case

423
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: for Canton rich eyes and coined him the inconvenient truth.

424
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: That's how long Frank Gore was around, because that was

425
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: in reference the Al Gore documentary that came out literally

426
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: like twenty years ago. UM, and Frank Gore had a

427
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: really long, productive career. Uh, Connie, Uh, it does. It

428
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: does hurt though, because Greg was pounding the table for

429
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: Gore forever and to the point where I reached out

430
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: to him on Texas said do you want to deliver

431
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: a message to the audience? And he laughed it off,

432
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, dude, I wasn't joking. You've

433
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: been talking about Gore forever. This is your moment. But

434
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: he passed. So what does that tell you? He probably

435
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: enjoys vacation with his families. What it to you? Well, yeah,

436
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: so Frank Gore, I guess, one of the greatest running

437
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: backs of all time, one of the greatest of the position.

438
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: I just hope he pursues a path in the front

439
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: office and not boxing, because that didn't really work out

440
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: so well for him in that round. You had to

441
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: bring that up. I do think he's a Hall of Famer,

442
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: and no, no questions asked. I know it. Like the

443
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: length of the career. You could say that that that

444
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: helped him compile these numbers, but he's not a compiler

445
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: in my book, on any level of twelve straight seasons

446
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: with pus scrimmage yards. He was utterly dominant. I he

447
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: also was just personally my type of football player. Like

448
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: I'll remember, you know that place, Jockser's Daily, that Culver

449
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: City bar. Then um smells slightly of death in its

450
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: previous incarnation, right right. We Well, they know it looks

451
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: better now. But I went in there one night. This

452
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: was October eighteen, two thousand twelve, and this was a

453
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night Niners Seahawks clash, low scoring Niners one thirteen

454
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: to six. Gore in that game ran for like eight

455
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: plus yards to carry and looked incredible. I mean it

456
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: was just like, this is my type of player, my

457
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: type of running back, and I totally get where Gregg's

458
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: coming from. And that was two thousand twelve where it's like,

459
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: if you look at the average length of a running

460
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: backs career, maybe he'd be out of the league two

461
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: years after he'd be replaced. He goes on to play

462
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: for another eight and finishes with the Jets. Well, yeah,

463
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: that was I'm not saying that I'm not citing the

464
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Jets is the hype. You know what, I don't feel

465
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: strongly enough to really come at anybody hard on the

466
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: Frank Or situation. I will say that he was an

467
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: All Pro. He was never first team All Pro. He

468
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: was All Pro second team once, made it to five

469
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, and never in the last seven years of

470
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: his career. And I thought, if you want to make

471
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame case, and you open the door

472
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: for other guys. Remember we used to get into these

473
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: arguments with west Or. I used to all the time

474
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: because I'd be like, well, look at Eli Manning, look

475
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: at his counting stats, and he's like, he's it's not

476
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: about counting stats for for me. With Frank Gore, if

477
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: he gets to the Hall, it's because he hung around

478
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: for so long and averaged three and three point eight

479
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: to four point one yards for carry his last seven years.

480
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he When I think about the best

481
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: running backs of the Air, I don't think of Gore.

482
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: But I think there's certainly something to be said for

483
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: durability and being a great locker room presence and and

484
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: just being someone that you could count on at a

485
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: very demanding position. So I don't know if he's a

486
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer to me, but I'm not gonna fight

487
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: it either. If you feel strongly. The average on the

488
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: back end of his career is really impressive. I didn't

489
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: know that that's a good number, right, he didn't diminish.

490
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't I do seem as a Hall of Famer

491
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: because I think he's a special part of Hall of Fame.

492
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: Is the story in the in what who? You know?

493
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: How he fit into the history, And I don't know.

494
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: There wasn't like he wasn't just hanging around and falling

495
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: off a cliff. To me, Frank Gore not al Gore,

496
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 1: You not an are discussion, but Franko were like was

497
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the same guy from Wire to wire And I just

498
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: here was one of my favorite players. He finished with

499
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: exactly sixteen thousand career rushing yards. But that's cool, kind

500
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: of cool, Um Mark, can you name all? Don't do this?

501
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: Five teams that frank Or played with? All right, Um, Niners, Jets, Bills,

502
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: and then I'm starting to fall apart at that point, Dolphins, Dolphins,

503
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Yet one more? Need it? I gotta get it three years.

504
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't like these types of questions because I can't

505
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: remember what I was doing yesterday at this time. It

506
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: was too late, all right, that's fine. I hate losing

507
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: button is a finishing piece to those teams. Yes, as

508
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: I said other former Niners news, Colin Kaepernick still in

509
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: the news. Following a throwing exhibition on Saturday, Colin Kaepernick

510
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: indicated that he's willing to accept the backup quarterback job

511
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Kaepernick has not taken a snap since

512
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: the two thousand and sixteen season. Obviously, the only real

513
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: way for him to get back into the game is

514
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: as a backup, so he's letting it be known. He's

515
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: now forty thirty four years old. Um, and we know

516
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: the story around Kaepernick and how he became such a

517
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: divisive figure across the league. And um, do you think

518
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: there's any chance Mark, we see Colin Kaepernick get another job.

519
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: It's telling to me that he didn't get one last

520
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: year or the year before when a lot of this

521
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: had melted away. And I think that there were more

522
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: coaches and teams out there. And then there's a team

523
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks that multiple years they've expressed interest and

524
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: nothing's happening. Even Pete Carroll, Uh, you know, a week

525
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: ago at the owners meetings, Uh sort of said nothing's

526
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: moved forward with that. I mean, it's notable that This

527
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: workout was conducted by Jim Harbaugh, who probably would have

528
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: been the one guy if he was still in the

529
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: league that would bring Kaepernick in. I mean, I think

530
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: there's another chance, but he's older, he's not played in

531
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: a long time, and it's I don't see it as

532
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: a Lightning Rods type signing necessarily for some coaches, But

533
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: there's younger guys out there that you want to grow

534
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: and develop as your backup, and so I think he's

535
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: in a tough spot unless a team gets into a pinch. Yeah.

536
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that Cap never got a second chance,

537
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: even as a backup quarterback anywhere in the league, because

538
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: we've seen ridiculous players playing the quarterback position, especially like

539
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: during COVID and stuff, when they were using like wide

540
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: receivers at the quarterback position. Teams were just running out

541
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: of bodies. The fact that Cap never got a second

542
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: chance at all, when Deshaun Watson's out here signing a

543
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: record breaking deal, it kind of tells me everything I

544
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: already knew about society in general. But I thought it

545
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: was really interesting. On one of your episodes last week,

546
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: you guys talked about the NFL being really clicky and

547
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: that I think is so so important and it's so

548
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: real because I never really thought about that before, about

549
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: the NFL kind of being a click but it is.

550
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: And if you go again to what everyone else is doing,

551
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: then like you're kind of the pariah and a lot

552
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: of teams don't want to risk that and that comes

553
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: with the territory of Colin Kaepernick. But it's just mind

554
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: blowing to me that Kaepernick never got another call. Well

555
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: how about this, Brian Flores files a civil suit uh

556
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: connected to racial discrimination, quickly gets hired by the Steelers.

557
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: That was I thought that was a very positive sign

558
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: for a clickie league that sometimes can turn its shoulder

559
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: easily and collectively. If Floren's can get another job immediately

560
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: on the staff of the Steelers, you know, you know,

561
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: somebody should be bringing in Kaepernick for a workout, but

562
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: you know what, it hasn't happened yet, and why not, Like,

563
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: why not have him in for training camp and let

564
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: him compete and see he you know, he talked about

565
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: himself as you if you bring me in, I will

566
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: prove that I have I can win games for you,

567
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: that I'm a starter. Okay, that's great in words, but

568
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: what what's the harm in bringing him in for August

569
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: George July and Augustin seen what you have? If no

Speaker 1: Ian Rapp report expects of the Browns, the trade Baker

576
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Mayfield before the draft. Wait a minute, what was that

577
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: gafalling or whatever? That's set that verbal? I can't be alone?

578
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: Is anyone else like super exhausted with the Baker Brown's quarterback? Anything?

579
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: Any of this? Well? Well could what if we fired

580
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: into the sun. Well that's what we attempted to do

581
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: on our Let's try it again. Let's try it right here. Okay, okay,

582
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: it's through the stratosphere. It looks like it's it's returning.

583
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: Is coming back? Oh no, it's coming back. Oh no,

584
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: it's back. Cleveland is expected to cover up it didn't

585
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: work part of A Mayfield's eighteen million dollars salary. Uh

586
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at now. So and don't listen

587
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: to anything you hear about the Browns maybe be willing

588
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: to to keep Baker Mayfield on on the team. That's

589
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: just not an option. Uh So he's gonna be moved.

590
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: It just matters now where he ends up. Seattle makes sense,

591
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Carolina should make some sense. The Titans are being mentioned

592
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: out that whoa, the Titans and Bucks reportedly also landing spots.

593
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: Let's get the grave digger on this one. Nonsense nonsense

594
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: as nonsense as in your feelings on it, or if

595
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: you think the reporting is unsound. I think the reporting

596
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: is speculation on teams that could use a upgraded backup quarterback.

597
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: But unless Mayfield is cut, the Titans can't pay that

598
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: fifth year option salary with the way they currently he's expensive.

599
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: That that's the plaint he needs to change here, and

600
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: that's why they're not getting any offers exactly. How about this?

601
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: You know what I want to watch this summer? What

602
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: I want to watch Baker Mayfield and Jared Golf in

603
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks training camp battle. What if he ended

604
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: up in Detroit? I am so glad that I'm not

605
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: using the equalis to Fantasia that I initially came up with,

606
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: because it was that exact It's literally exactly the whole

607
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: thing about jaredo in this I'll say it real quick.

608
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: In this scenario, Jared goff Um is on a hike

609
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: in Malibu with his um new girlfriend and is bitten

610
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: by a snake, goes into a coma, and the Lions

611
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: are forced to trade for Baker Mayfield, who rides in

612
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: on horseback and leads them to the playoffs for the

613
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: first time in thirty years, as he did with Cleveland

614
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: after their long absence in the playoffs. But then I said,

615
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't like that that scenario site

616
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: Jared goff sounds like he was seriously injured by a snake.

617
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: Was no. Well, the other part you was that he

618
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: awakens from coma right before Thanksgiving, replaces a middling Baker Mayfield,

619
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: rips off like five straight wins, and then they lose

620
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Interesting, but you can see why I

621
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: past see. Also, I know that if I Baker Mayfield

622
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: scenario gets has no traction with Dan. So I was like,

623
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: I gotta play to the audience. I thought maybe a

624
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: hard knocks thing would would get a little pop, and

625
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: Dan just stared at me dead and Dan Dan is

626
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: over this can we try to do it again? Maybe

627
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: this one will get to the sunny And somehow got

628
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: rejected and turned back our way, And now we're talking

629
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: about other hypotheticals connected to Baker Mayfield in a trade.

630
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: Come on, that's the rocks. It sounds like it's made

631
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: of wood. That's the problem. It's like from Game of Thrones.

632
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? It's turning, it's coming back

633
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: banged in the biggest spot. That was a house behind us. Um,

634
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: all right, that was people upward getting their money's worth

635
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: on that one. That was new, was it? No, it's

638
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: Jetsam Texans signed Marlon Mack running back the Bucks resigned

639
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: former Hard Knocks star Giovanni Bernard. Remember you drove an

640
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: old beat up minivan. I remember that. I didn't remember that. No,

641
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember it. And poor Brandon Cooks the Texans

642
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: have received quote multiple calls reportedly on the wide receiver.

643
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: Now this is another fund game, kind I'm gonna put

644
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: you on the spot. Here we go, Brandon Cooks pulling up,

645
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: pulling it up, on old Pro Football Reference. Name the

646
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 1: teams for Brandon Cooks. Uh so, obviously he was with

647
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: the Saints for a little bit, the Rams, he was

648
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, he's the Texans. Um Who am I missing? He? Alright,

649
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: it's a lot of teams for a twenty eight year

650
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: old who has one thousand yards this season. But I

651
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: think he's getting traded because people it's like people on right,

652
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different than he's floating from team

653
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: to see a journey. Yeah he has all right, that's

654
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. All right, now, everyone understand,

655
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: we're about to enter the land of the mystical. Okay,

656
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: this is not the work of an occult, this is

657
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: not witchcraft. But this is also something to not let

658
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: the children here, because we're entering into a dark universe.

659
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna say metaverse. I think that works a

660
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: dark and sometimes stormy metaverse. I didn't use it initially

661
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure if it was I think that

662
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: more means that there are your your flip plopping in

663
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: a metaverse type show from timeline to time. There's a

664
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: multiverse multiverse. That's what I was looking for. The metaverse

665
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: can be defined as a simulated digital environment that uses

666
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: augmented reality, virtual reality. That's this world, maybe that's this podcast.

667
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: But just put the kids to bed. It okay, bat

00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: build up to a little sassler. I'd be happy to

675
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: have a decision to make choice A. You can be

676

Speaker 1: Josh Allen for the next calendar year, having his talents,

677
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: all of his experiences, his ups and downs. You're him

678
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: feeling what he feels. But you also have a double

679
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: consciousness where you can tell you are aware that you

680
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: are you having this experience inside of him, and you

681
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: come out of it back to being you. Writing a

682

683
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: accurate in describing the life of an NFL quarterback that

684
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: it goes down as the greatest sports novel and then

685
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: sports film of all Time. You're celebrated like royalty for

686

687
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: wayward missile mistakenly launched from a base in Tyranne, scatters

688
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: your seventy ft yacht. You go down in history though,

689
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: as a total hero, because you saved the life of

690
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: both actress Jennifer Lawrence and the real Josh Allen, pushing

691
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: them off deck into safe waters just before the missile lands,

692
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: because that's what heroes do. Or choice B, but it

693
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: was it was Lawrence and Josh Allen on the yacht.

694
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm just noting all the I'm doing. It would be

695
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: multiple people on the yacht, and he was able. Yes, Yes,

696
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: Choice B. All right, you live to be a hundred

00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: you are, you sense a faint smell of rotting cheese

701
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: in the air. Oh my god. Problem three. Whenever you

702
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: watch football, you have zero ability to see the quarterback

703
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: on screen. To you, the quarterback is utterly invisible. No

704
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: QB four In sightline every number four. You live with

705
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: a kitten named Curly Girl. The problem for you is

706
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: that Curly Girl has the ability to read your mind,

707
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: keenly observe your actions, and telepathically produce a daily online

708
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: blog in reverse Josh Allen fashion that totally exposes your

709
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: ups and downs becomes a massive sensation. But against your will,

710
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: you can't figure out who's chronicling your darkest secrets. Yes,

711
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: you become this sort of anti hero who is super

712
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: honest and seeing that way by others, but you didn't

713
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: want any of this out there, And of course you

714
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: never come around to the conclusion to blame curly Girl

715
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: for writing this blog. Ps. When Curly Girl dies, cats

716
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: live to be like what fifteen or something, You are

717
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: dumb enough to buy a subsequent kitty named Curly Girl

718
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: two point oh, and that kitten has the same power

719
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: then Curly Girl three point oh, etcetera, etcetera. You never

720
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: figure it out that was gonna be my loopole And

721
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: so you gotta pick how old are you on the

722
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: yacht missile? You're you? But you only have you know

723
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: it would the book would come out, let's say a

724
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: year after Josh Allen's next season, and then there's a

725
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: movie option, the movie gets made and becomes a hit.

726
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: In between that from from the minute that the comes out?

727
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: How long do I live? After? About total? Another five years? Tops?

728
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: Do I have like Emily and the boys in my life?

729
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that you're it's it's you, but you also

730
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm not the Only thing I don't know how to

731
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: explain is where you go when you're inside Josh Allen

732
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: for a year. But that's that's the work of a

733
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: writer that you would be doing to create the novel.

734
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: But well you, I mean I feel like you created

735
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: to nightmare scenarios for me personally. Well that's the point,

736
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, that's why we put the kids

737
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: to bed, That's why we bat catches, because it's not

738
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: always a fairytale, and certainly when it's marks turn, there's

739
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: never a positive choice, so it becomes a Sophie's choice.

740
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: Uh what do you think? Okay, So I'm thinking this

741
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: through right now, and I'm thinking that the second scenario

742
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: sounds worse. But if your cat is just like exposing

743
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: your day to everyone online, but like who is reading that?

744
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: Who even knows how to find curly Girl? Like does

745
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: it font does it becomes a massive sense bogs anymore? Well, okay,

746
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: so let's say the cat gets you know, the content

747
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: would be the cat on TikTok. The content would become

748
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: multi multi platform. It's the rotting cheese smell in the

749
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: air that constantly follows following me the least because you

750
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: would get used to that, would you? You would if

751
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: it was always there, like when you're around someone the

752
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: bet smells bad, or if you smell bad yourself, it

753
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: starts to not bother you after a certain amount of time. Right,

754
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe I don't think not for me. I have a

755
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: smell thing. Yeah, that that does it for me. So

756
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the I'm gonna perish in a on

757
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: a yacht after saving Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Allen and

758
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: being a hero. That's why you have to go that route. Mark,

759
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. I think you overplayed your

760
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: hand a little bit on the on the second one

761
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: only because you're the big cell for this. Where did

762
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: I possibly do the big cell? I think for the

763
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: the second was was a long life that you get

764
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: to live a long life, but everything else runs counter

765
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: to living. Wanting to live like no Internet. Okay, that's

766
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. That's gonna be tough, but we've we've

767
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: been there before, and you would be okay after a while.

768
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: The rotting cheese thing, see I I that's not pleasant,

769
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: but I could deal with that in time. The no

770
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: quarterback in my sightline ever, that would effectively rule out

771
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: football is something I would watch after a while, just

772
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: because you lose that. But the whole kitten thing is

773
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: a nightmare scenario. I'm also allergic to cats, so, like,

774
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: it's crazy to me that I would keep buying these

775
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: cats after they die. Um, and the fact that it

776
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: would be documenting all my like darkest thoughts that doesn't

777
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: sit well with me, And and the fact that it

778
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: would become a sensation. I'm out, So give me five

779
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: years to live as a hero. Yeah, and it's horrible,

780
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: but that's the way I have to go. See, I'm all,

781
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm allergic to cats. I'm also allergic to dogs, and

782
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: I keep buying cats and dogs too, so that part

783
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: didn't bother me at all. Um, I think that living

784
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: as a hero, dying as a hero, living and dying

785
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: is a hero is my answer. So there you go, Mark,

786
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: you got us all to admit that we'd rather die

787
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: in less than five years. That's so bleak. Well hold on,

788
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what was I supposed to in the hat?

789
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: You want me to come in with that dog and

790
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: pony like Pollyanna scenario? No, no, just be you. I

791
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: like it. Where's the eleven like creature with the black eyes.

792
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: It's going to take three point three millimeter off of

793
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: done that? All right, Connie? What you got? Okay? All right,

794
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: here we go. Wait, wait for round and all right,

795
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: the phone rings looks like a cute all right, it's

796
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: less sneat, it gets answered, gets answered, it's less sneat.

797
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: He's just finished an efficient workout and a perfectly personalized

798
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: protein shake. On the other line, someone desperate to run.

799
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: In fact, it's all he thinks about, dreams about, obsesses about.

800
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: I can't say I blame him. I frequently think about

801
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: going on the lamb, but for him it's different. After

802
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: tearing his A C L and the Super Bowl, the

803
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: only thing that matters to Odell Beckham Jr. Is running

804
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: free again. The conversation with Less is warm but short.

805
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: Less explains that Beckham won't be part of the Rams

806
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: next season and that he let his heart do the

807
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: talking at that video conference two weeks ago when he's

808
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: told reporters that he wanted Beckham back. God, but O'Dell,

809
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: the ramily will never be the same, said a breathless sneed,

810
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: and then the culture ups. Odell felt dizzy, like he

811
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: might even throw up. He needed to clear his head,

812
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: but before he could queue up the second season of Starstruck,

813
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: his ears filled with ringing and damn it, it was

814
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: his phone again, God just saying all right, but this

815
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: time it was another GM calling with an offer he

816
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: couldn't refuse. You choose the adventure here. Was it A

817
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: Andrew Barry saying Baby come back? Was it B Bill

818
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: Belichick promising another ring to the future Patriot? Was it C.

819
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard persuading O'Dell to bring Indie back to relevance?

820
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: Or was it D. Brian goodacoons with an invitation to

821
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: the hottest vacation destination in Wisconsin? The Packers Goody so

822
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: aggressive that choose your own a ventu. I absolutely am

823
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: going Goody. I don't like this um Packers wider super

824
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: room right now. It needs some sizzle. I know Odell's

825
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: a little up and down now at the stage of

826
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: the game back to back a c LS, but that

827
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: still makes sense as a destination and trying to see

828
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: what would happen if you put him in that offense

829
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: as a guy that, um, they need. Now he stepped

830
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: up for the Rams in the playoffs, could he do

831
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 1: it for the Packers and get them over the hump?

832
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: That one is the most intriguing to me. When against

833
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Pats and the Browns, the Bill Belichick

834
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: another ring thing does not ring true for me because

835
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: they don't have that team right now. And I think

836
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: if you're Odell, you're trying to simply win Super Bowls

837
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: and you look at Mac Jones and say, nice player.

838
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: But it was just a week ago that he talked

839
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: about Matt Ryan fitting so well in Indie that said,

840
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: what are the Packers doing if they don't do more

841
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: at wide receiver? He fits perfectly well with Aaron Rodgers.

842
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm with Dan, I'm and you know we've got the

843
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: Goodies song the sound bites. Um, I don't know if

844
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: O'Dell's nightlife is the most important thing at this point.

845
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: Green Bay not the greatest thing for that. But these

846
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: guys can fly to wherever they want all the time.

847
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm going Packers. They tried to get him last year too.

848
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean the yeah, the problem is that there's no

849
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: Delilah in Green Bay, but no, it's the spot here.

850
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think I agree the Cults

851
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: are a little short at wide receiver and you want

852
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: to give Matt Ryan the best chance possible. Otherwise, why

853
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: did you take on that contract and go down that road? Um?

854
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sold on the Patriots skill position players there, um,

855
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: even with DeVante Parker yet, but I just don't see

856
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: Adele's a fit there. I don't either. I don't like that.

857
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: And the Browns one feels played to me. I hear

858
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: the chatter, but come on it, would you know? I

859
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: heard all So Jarvis Landry might be interested in going back.

860
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: How about Yeah, let's let's clean break and move on.

861
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: Otherwise we're going to bring up that other name again.

862
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: And it went into the sun and it exploded. All right,

863
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: we're with you? Goody is the choice? Do you would?

864
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: Is that what you want? So? I would have gone

865
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: with two Goody's him last I can't believe less need

866
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: with crocodile tears. It was like Oh, the Ramilly will

867
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: never be the same again. It's not like it didn't

868
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: see that seemed a little disingenuous, though. I feel like,

869
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: how often has he said Ramily? Um? I don't know

870
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: less Snee doesn't seem like a Ramilly speaking guy. It

871
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: was a weird conversation, very strange. All right, let's take

872
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: a break and we'll do one more. Al Right, we

873
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: are back in case you're just joining us. What should

874
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: be weird on a podcast? This is a game that's

875
00:49:49,080 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: been returned from the Mystic Deep called Fantasia. All right, Mark,

876
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: this applies to both of you. But okay, Mark, I

877
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: was like, you're making him go again? Do you not

878
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: have one again? Brian site play for Let's get into it.

879
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: It's March eighteen, two time travels into play. Andrew Barry

880
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: and the Haslams are in a conference room in Cleveland

881
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: with the Shawn Watson and his agent. Watson has been

882
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: handed a gold pen to sign the contract extension that

883
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,720
Speaker 1: will finalize the blockbuster trade that will change the Browns forever.

884
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: Some say for better mother It's worst. Just as the

885
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: infamous QB is set to put pen to paper, the

886
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: door swings open or creeks open. No, the door explodes

887
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: and in walks a hero without a cape. Mark ser

888
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: Mark has met with stunned silence and confused glares. It

889
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: cuts through the tension with an opening statement, I'm annoyed

890
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: now and snatches the pen from Watson. Mark demands Cleveland

891
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: officials rethink their seismic decision. At QB, Jimmy Haslum, the owner,

892
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: perhaps moved, perhaps frightened, remember the door exploded, acquiesces to

893
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: Mars please and nixes the deal. It's over okay. This

894
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: immediately become the wildest NFL story of all time and

895
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: huge international news. Podcaster breaks into team headquarters coerces or

896
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: convinces ownership to back out of one of the craziest

897
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: deals ever, the one that could you know you get it.

898
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: Mark's unreal determination to risk it all and position principal

899
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: over winning makes him a cult hero. Andrew Barry and

900
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski are both swept out of the building in

901
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: the ensuing fallout. A new leadership, which now includes Mark

902
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: in a largely ceremonial advisory role, UH struggles mightily to

903
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: pivot Cleveland free falls to a four and seven record

904
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: over the next two seasons, A controversial trade of Myles

905
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: Garrett and a first for Gardner means you has met

906
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: with a susuna tsunami of criticis is hum from a

907
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: howling football gagnance than suspicion. Suspicions that sess Dog is

908
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: pulling the strings are rampant. The struggles of the team

909
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: reshapes how Brown's fans sea marks intrusion on team business

910
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: years earlier, and he becomes a pariah for the fan base.

911
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: The Browns quietly stripped Mark of his honorary title and

912
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: sess Dog slips into obscurity. The entire saga has an

913
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: untold effect on the sess dogs physical and mental well being,

914
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: which leads me to the question, great, do you still

915
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: stop the Shaun Watson from signing that contract? Yes? Wow? Why? Well?

916
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: Because I think like if I first of all, get

917
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: the one camera off me as soon as possible, day

918
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: it for it um Because I think if you do

919
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: something that you believe in, you're probably gonna pay a

920
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: price half the time anyways. So the other option is

921
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: don't do something you believe in and continue to coast.

922
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: So that's that's where as far as I can go

923
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,439
Speaker 1: at this point with it, Yes, I think I would

924
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: because I also liked the concept of the door exploding,

925
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: like taking the the golden pen and throwing it to

926
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: the side, and then having like these multimillionaires staring at

927
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: me trying to connect the dots because we've talked to

928
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: each other once or twice in the deep past, like

929
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: who is this nerve that just entered the room and

930
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: what is he about to do? So I like that

931
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: part of it. It's around the world and then the

932
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: team's deep struggles and the fan base turning against you,

933
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: and I feel like I because well, I don't. I

934
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't love it. I mean, I think I become sort

935
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 1: of like Jack easterby part two. It sounds like um

936
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: and on top of it, like the idea that I

937
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: would think that that where I it with my current

938
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: football knowledge, which I agree would be limited for a

939
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: general manager role or something like that, that I would

940
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: trade Miles Garrett in a first round pick for a

941
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: a Gardner Minshew figure that was another three years old.

942
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean at this point, like what substances are inside

943
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: that happens in the ensuing this offseason? You have to

944
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: fill the quarterback position again. But even even this offseason.

945
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,959
Speaker 1: That would that sets me up to be a total rube,

946
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't do. I would never only notice in

947
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 1: this moment that you're wearing a Brown's hat right now,

948
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: which is interesting as well as I speak to you

949
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: about this, it's it cites my old stance, my old fandom.

950
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to get rid of the hat. You

951
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: can rock that hat first. It's an elf. I'm more into.

952
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: It's like about Colleen, if you were in mark shoes,

953
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: where would you come down? So this like cushy advisory role.

954
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: What's that about in the front office? It's hazy And

955
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking. What you should know is

956
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: that we don't really know for sure. Um, if you

957
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: had anything to do with you know, the Garrett for

958
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: Minshew trade. But people, you know how passionate Browns fans are,

959
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: they would they would dig up old podcasts and they

960
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: would see, like how big a fact you were and

961
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: you weren't even necessarily be behind that move. Maybe you

962
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: had some input, but you weren't pulling the triggers. But

963
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: that will be how it's remembered that you were the

964
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: one that did it. Yeah, I think they would go

965
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: back and look at you know, they would study their

966
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: tape of this show and be like that idiot is

967
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: the one who even if that wasn't true, But it

968
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: really doesn't matter what was true or not. That's how

969
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: the public would take that. My problem is the end

970
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: of it, the fact that how so, it's just he

971
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: lives out the rest of his life with mental and

972
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: physical anguish if he chooses to go down that road.

973
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't like that aspect for Mark Um nor Mark

974
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: I was Mark ye, I would also blow up the

975
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: door and the trade and say I'm annoyed now, because

976
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 1: that's in general how I feel. That's the easy part, right,

977
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 1: But if I'm saying what I think, if I had

978
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: the power here, I would let Mark about his days

979
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: in relative relaxation and but stressful. As we know in

980
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: the game of it's just not how things tend to

981
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: turn out, unfortunately. But we actually live in the world

982
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: where the other choice was made, like it did happen,

983
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: and I just go on. So if I the choice,

984
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: if I really think about it, like I don't care

985
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: what the Browns do, That's what I'm trying to all right, Well,

986
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: so let me actually like you know, you're answering these

987
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: questions on the flight like they could. They've already done

988
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: what they do this, so we I'm living in the

989
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: other option is just the current existence we you and

990
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that book three by Stephen King where they

991
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: find a portal in like an old diner that allows

992
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: the guy to stop the JFK assassination. That's what we're

993
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: dealing with here. You could just avoid that diner. They

994
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,479
Speaker 1: they can make their choice. I thought for a second,

995
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: was like I have to be all about that choice

996
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: and stay a fan and be super excited about it.

997
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: I'll just stay with where I am right now. I'm

998
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: doing my thing. They can do their thing if you

999
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: can over cess dog though, Like that's something that I

1000
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: could get behind. Just the nickname stick. I also got

1001
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: hooked into the cushy you know, probably well paid role

1002
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: at some point. That's you know that that's not the

1003
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: most Uh, that's not the worst thing to think about that,

1004
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: So the kind of nice All right, do we have

1005
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: anything else? Um here? I have a quick one, all right, Connie,

1006
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: last one here we go. Okay, all right, you've been

1007
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: told you must board a plane immediately. The only information

1008
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: you've been given is you must stay a week for

1009
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: forty seven straight hours. You can do it one of

1010
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 1: two weights. The first option is watching a week three

1011
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: JAG's Titans game on loop. The second is having a

1012
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: NonStop conversation with the NFL Network insider of your choosing

1013
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: you decide seven straight hours of talking or watching the

1014
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: same game over and over and over again a terrible game.

1015
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: And well, it should be said, because I want to

1016
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: make sure we're on the same page that according to

1017
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: the language in this company, there is only one NFL

1018
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: Network insider. Okay, there are other insiders or reporters, but

1019
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: there's only one guy that gets that title fixed to

1020
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: his name. Mic correct. Okay, I think you mean the

1021
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 1: broader umbrella of inside inside while they call them insiders, right,

1022
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: but there's only well, there is only one. It's in

1023
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: his contract. It's in the boiler plate deal. So is

1024
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: it is it? Is it Ian or bust or is

1025
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: it um? You could pick from the I think you

1026
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: can pick from any of the newsmakers newsmakers makers, how

1027
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: about that news breaker? And and I should also just

1028
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: throw in there that like I don't remember the seven

1029
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: teen week ree game. I don't even know if the

1030
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Jagson Titans played each other. At that point, I think

1031
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: what was its stick though? That's what I forgot, Like,

1032
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: why am I staying away forty seven straight hours? Again?

1033
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: You're You're rewarded with a handsome prize cash prize at

1034
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: the end. And what if I fall asleep? What if

1035
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,959
Speaker 1: I fall asleep? You're brand spot that's it, that would

1036
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: be that would be a big one. I can't fall

1037
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: asleep straight hours. We will almost two days. I'm famous

1038
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: in my house for falling asleep all the time. I'm

1039
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: like on the couch and stuff when we're trying to

1040
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: watch TV shows. Drives my wife crazy. And I'm not

1041
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: ashamed to admit that. On those Mondays, those power rankings Mondays,

1042
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: after a long Sunday, when I'm going through every game

1043
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: on game Pass. Uh, when I'm about seven games in

1044
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: and it's three or thirty in the afternoon, I've been

1045
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: known to doze off during watching some of these. It

1046
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: is a tonic for that. So now you're telling me

1047
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching the like a terrible game from five years

1048
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: ago between two bad teams. There's no chance I stay awake.

1049
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: The only chance I had to stay awake, and I

1050
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: guess not die in a plane crash is to be

1051
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: talking to someone. And let me add this, the talking

1052
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: to someone that obviously helps you stay awake you have

1053
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: someone to bat them, but that you have to split

1054
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: the pot of money at the end with that person. Well,

1055
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: but I'm with Dan, I would I would not off

1056
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: probably in quarter four of the first showing of that game,

1057
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: so we'd have problems. I I UM, I'm going with

1058
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: the talking with um. You know, I can talk with

1059
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Mike Garafolo for forty seven hours and we would be

1060
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: his job would be to keep me awake. I did

1061
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: a sleep study in Boston once where I had to

1062
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: I was I needed money. It was in a hospital.

1063
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: You had to at one point stay up forty eight

1064
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: straight hours. Really, yes, and it was by the end

1065
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: of it, you're scene visions. It's insane. I don't recommend it,

1066
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,479
Speaker 1: and I didn't make a lot of money for it either,

1067
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: But um, there were nurses and doctors that will come

1068
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: in and kind of help you a little bit. So

1069
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: I know that in my experience, you absolutely need human

1070
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: interaction to not totally fade away. So you're going and going,

1071
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Mike g and like, I'll split the pot with Mike

1072
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: g Also, I don't know what what if you said

1073
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: big cash prize, that could be a hundred dollars, that

1074
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: could be It doesn't matter when the prize is. I

1075
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: just want to also, ever have to worry about money

1076
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: again for the rest of your life. Tell the Insider,

1077
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: if you don't keep me awake, we're both dying. So

1078
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: there's a fair motivation there. Can believe you experience with

1079
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: this ridiculous scenario. What yeah, like, Ricky, did you have

1080
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: something to add here? Yeah, I got a quick one

1081
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: for you. Okay, So it is this offseason currently, a

1082
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: little ferry is going to come to you and say,

1083
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: and it's not me, and it's going to come to

1084
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: you and say, the Jets are going to be the

1085
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: biggest team you've ever seen. They are going to acquire

1086
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: every big free agent, They're going to make blockbuster trades.

1087
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: They are going to be the top of the news cycle.

1088
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Sala is at the top of his game. Zach Wilson

1089
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: has developed into the amazing quarterback. The only give that

1090
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: you need to do to make sure that this happens

1091
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: is no longer hosts the Around the NFL podcast, and

1092
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: it's Greg who gets to host the show and all

1093
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: he does is go, Dan, what do you think? And

1094
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: then you only get a couple of sentences before he

1095
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: cuts you off. Every day three to four shows a week.

1096
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Do you take the deal? So I give up the

1097
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: host chair? Greg or the Jets are the biggest. Now

1098
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: that's some like classic like old time, like here's the

1099
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: monkey pod that make three wishes and I won't have

1100
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: to be the biggest team ever. And then they're all giants,

1101
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: They're all like it was a trick, like this is

1102
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: a full blown like like Dynasty, Ring after ring after ring.

1103
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I still get to do the podcast you do, but

1104
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: it's up to you know, it's Greg coming up with

1105
01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: the bits and you only get a few words here

1106
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: and there, and he's driving the bus. So my position

1107
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: obviously remains totally unchanged, right right, Well, you're used to

1108
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 1: that with a him anyway. So I would I would

1109
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: take the Dynasty. Would I would because I think Greg

1110
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: would capably drive the boat, and I think that it

1111
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: would be fun to be in in a different perspective,

1112
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and I'd probably make life more difficult for Greg and

1113
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: that would be fun too, So that would be my choice.

1114
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: And then my favorite team gets to become a dynasty. Okay,

1115
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,480
