Speaker 1: Are Radio Studios, where Uh, in a minute, we're gonna

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: remember an absolute legend. However, don't tell me coaches can't

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: win games in the NBA. Now, Mike Harmon Martin explain

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: mar Key. Game of the night. Look like I always say,

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: in a full night of NBA games, if you get

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: one game that comes down to the end, consider yourself

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: lucky and luckily. Tonight, Thunder and the Knicks biggest game

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: of the night, two title contenders, comes down to the

19
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: final possession. The Knicks miss a couple of threes in

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: the final couple of seconds, Thunder escape with a three

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: point win. But I'll tell you what for all of this.

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: You look at plays down the stretch in this game.

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Don't don't sit here and tell me coaches can't win games.

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: The two biggest plays of the fourth quarter of this game,

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: in the final three minutes, the Thunder win two challenges,

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: two big challenges. They challenge on an og Anunobi layup

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: that was going to be a three point play, and

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: it was really it looked like the contact it was

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: really could have gone either way. But they went and

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: they reversed it. So instead of a layup and ogn

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Nooby trying to shoot for the three point play, it's

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: an offensive foul Nananobi and the Thunder keep the ball.

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: A minute later and out of bounds play on offense

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: for the Knicks, it's rule to go to the Thunder.

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: No that play is challenge. I'm like, okay, that looked

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: like it that went off the Thunder. What are we doing?

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Like? I can't believe they won

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: the first one and the second one not only did

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: it get reversed, but it got reversed because of a

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: foul on Karl Anthony Town. So they went back to

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: look at the out of bounds play and chet Holgern's

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: going out of bounds, out of bounds, out of bunds.

43
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, And then did they come back and

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: say balls out of bounds. Yeah, foul on Karl Anthony Towns.

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: That was his fifth. A minute later, he fouled out

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: on Sja, which is a which is a bad play

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: by him. Mean, he's been he's fouled out the most

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: in the NBA this season, but now they didn't have

49
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: him for the final two and a half minutes of

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the game. Those were the two biggest plays. When you

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: sit here and talk about, oh, challenges agaend, knowing when

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: to save them, knowing when to use them, it's a

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: five point swing winning the Anonobe challenge and then whatever

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: points swing you want to put to instead of the knicks.

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: With the ball out of bounds, it's a foul on

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns. You're shooting free throws and he was

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: out of the game forty five seconds later. Don't tell

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: me coaches can't win. Yeah, the one with the ogianinobi

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: restricted area or are not moving in or not set

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: all that, you know, that's that's just recall. Unfortunately, there's

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: too much contact and not call something right. I just

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: hope like Rick carrl I always hope that the NBA

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: is not out to help out these smaller market teams

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: who they want to give an advantage to, because you know,

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: people watch the small market teams on television more than

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: the big market team. Funny, they're trying to create parody

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: in a league. You know, as we get down the stretch,

68
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you are the defending champions. That is true

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: that you are the defending the last champions. So you

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: get a little seesaw back and forth and you get

71
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: that call. Now, the the cat call is a tough one,

72
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: right one, because he came flying over his Oh yeah,

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: yeah right. It was a bad decision by Cat to

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: do because he made too bad decisions that right. That

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: fall and then the fall on SGA wasn't a play

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: on anything. It was just a reach and grabs his wrist. Right,

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: It's it's just a let him come into your body

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: or get your arm up, like he reached down to

79
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: try to get at the ball and only got was

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: a handful of wrist. Yeah, I mean, well, and that's

81
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: what SGA does. I'll get to the free throw though,

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: don't worry. I will find my way. But that's it.

83
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: We always talk about on the show for all these

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: years that you can't fault a good strategy. You may

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: not like it as a fan, you may throw something

86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: at your television. Hopefully it's sales wide right, like field

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: goal kickers in Buffalo. But you're you're hoping too soon. Man,

88
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: come on, man, Scott Norwidz probably driving around Buffalo going

89
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: to get some wings. Anybody here? Why do I get sides?

90
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: It's a basketball conversation about the Knicks and the thunder,

91
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: and I get sideswiped on it. Wow, and larger New

92
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: York area and a team than actually another team that

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: plays in New York. But just the idea that you have,

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: SGA And this is the book on him, right, So

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, even at home, even in a hotly contested game,

96
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: he's getting that file call every time you watched it

97
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: over the course of the game. How many times did

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: he did he get a foul calls?

99
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: Like?

100
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Really, is that enough contact really to warn a fol No?

101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: And he does. And so that that's just the rules

102
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: of engagement. Now when ABS comes to the NBA, oh

103
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, and everybody's officiated to say you get ready, right,

104
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: like strike zone in baseball is going to be the

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: same same thing. Here, you are just player number three

106
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty four in the Union. It doesn't matter.

107
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: The man's going for their seventy third win of the

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: season here in game number seventy four, their only loss

109
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: when they got snowed in earlier this year. But here

110
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: it is the NBA on NBC playing against the brand

111
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: new Queens Mets who have moved from Brooklyn. So we

112
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: got more NBA on the way again. Get one big

113
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: close game tonight. That's awesome. Hey, we won, But today

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: we lost an absolute legend in former college football head coach,

115
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: former Notre Dame legend, former South legend, former Jets legend,

116
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: former ESPN college football analyst legend Lou Holtz, passing away

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: at the age of eighty nine. And look you've seen

118
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: and when when he died today And Frostburg sent me

119
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: a text going, hey, what do you guys do to

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz? And I was like, you know, he coached

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: us for a year, you know he resign. He coached

122
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: the Jets for a year in seventy six and quit

123
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. And I think his

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: quote was God didn't put Lou Holtz on the earth

125
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: to coach professionals like I gotta go back to college,

126
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: like that's my thing, like he gets And the Jets

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: were three and ten the one year under lou Holtz

128
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: and they never recover and can't see out the rest

129
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: of the season. I'm done. I'm done, guys, not gonna

130
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: go to the end like that. That's the thing, like

131
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: Patrino and I'm walking away. I'm just walking away. But

132
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: remember a couple of things, is that you hear a

133
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: lot about him in his legendary time at Notre Dame.

134
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: There's two things that he doesn't get enough credit for.

135
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: And the first one is something probably that you will

136
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: get you is that he brought No tre Dame back.

137
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: No tre Dame is what it is today today in

138
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six because Lou Holtz brought it back for

139
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: the decade he was there in the late eighties into

140
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: the mid nineties, Nore Dame, Hey, Notre Dame was still

141
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: a really big school, but it was not the overall

142
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: wild It is the it is the end all be all,

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: the alpha and omega of college football. They had bad years, right,

144
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: You've you've heard the name Jerry Faust, and what it

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: was like in Notre Dame struggling after Ara Parsigin, like

146
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame had lost its way, like they were not

147
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: part of the national conversation at all. Lou Holtz shows

148
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: up and in a decade, in three years, he went

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: won a national championship, went to another one, which will

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: break down, you know, not winning that one. But this

151
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: is a guy who went ten years turned Notre Dame

152
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: into the biggest rock stars in college football. As status

153
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: they have they have owned since that time. Notre Dame

154
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: still has been Notre Dame. Since that moment, whoever the

155
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: coach is Notre Dame has had that much, has had

156
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: that aura, and lou Holtz brought it back. They were nowhere,

157
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: they were just floundering. All this is Notre Dame once

158
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: proud Notre Dame. Yeah no, no, he brought them back.

159
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: It was Lou Holtz that has Notre Dame where they

160
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: are today.

161
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

162
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as a kid in Chicago, that's all you

163
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: heard about. That was the adopted team of everybody that

164
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: had ever stepped foot inside a church or knew someone

165
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that did. And certainly you had the Bears making their

166
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: run and perennial playoff contenders. Ultimately that eighty five Bears

167
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: squad that they still write all those books about and

168
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: cash in on year to year. But for Notre Dame football,

169
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean you got to go back. Divine had what

170
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: an eleven win season in seventy seven, and then you

171
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: had nine win season in nineteen eighty. You had the

172
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Jerry Faust era, and then you go from there into

173
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz, and obviously the advent and changing of how

174
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: the game was telecast and the power of brand really

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: took over on a whole other level. Right, we go

176
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: back to Catholics versus Convicts in those games and all

177
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: of that that resonate all these years. I think we

178
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: did a special teams podcast on that many years ago.

179
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: You can find that wherever you find your podcast histories.

180
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: But all of that of that to say, for Lou Holtz,

181
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: he was that figure right the way he spoke, the

182
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: way I mean, look at all the tributes from his

183
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: players today. Now he's a complicated guy. There's a lot

184
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: going on with Holts, Oh sure, okay, But for the

185
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: purpose of this conversation, there's a lot too. I mean,

186
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: we could do and I know the odd couple did

187
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: some and and and I'm sure we could do four

188
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: hours on every angle of the Lou Holtz experiences of this.

189
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: It is talking about the changing face of college football,

190
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: the billion dollar TV contracts, the recruiting juggernaut that it became,

191
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: all those household names and players and plays for all

192
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: these years, and why you see them thrust upon you

193
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: on NBC in primetime and late afternoon windows all these

194
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: years later. It was the dominance exhibited there by Lou

195
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: Holtz and those squads and his persona right as a coach,

196
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: he was a speaker. He was a guy that wasn't

197
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: afraid of the microphone. I mean, how many coaches did

198
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: you really hear from back then? Him Bowden, a little

199
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: bit of Joe Paterno screaming at people. Yeah, but you know,

200
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: and even then, because of the way college football was covered,

201
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: you didn't get a lot of it. You got some

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: highlights and you got a scoreboard, and then you got

203
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: whatever quotes were in the evening news. Yeah. And look,

204
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: and that's the other thing that he doesn't get enough

205
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: credit for us, Right, Okay, so he brings back Notre

206
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Dame from the brink of boy it was so great

207
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: And now they're in disrepair and all of a sudden,

208
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: now the Golden domers and they're Musty TV, and they

209
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: have their you know, they have their own network every Saturday.

210
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: But the other thing that he doesn't get enough credit for,

211
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: And look, when people do stuff right, you gotta give

212
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: him credit. ESPN has done college football and college basketball

213
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: unbelievably well now for going on four decades, right, like really,

214
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the way that Fox has caught up in

215
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: both sports is fantastic. But leg of credit, college football,

216
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: college basketball, ESPN does tremendously well. They have always done

217
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: it tremendously well. They find a way to service the

218
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: viewer with the games, the coverage, They do it great.

219
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: But their lasting popularity is due to two people, Lee

220
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: Corso into Lou Holtz. Because what these guys were responsible

221
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: for on the air, Lee Corso coming on and being

222
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: tremendous lightning Rod, not just you know, putting on the

223
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: head gear of the teams, picking the games, but Lee Corso,

224
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: the chemistry he had with Kirk krb Street and Chris Fowler.

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: But you know, Corso was that guy, the beloved guy

226
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: you tuned in every week to see him. What was

227
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: he gonna say who was he gonna pick in the

228
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: big game, And lou Holtz was the same way the

229
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: College football Final on Saturdays, which with him and Mark

230
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: May and Rhys Davis. I mean, this was It's almost

231
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: like that was the inside the NBA of college football

232
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: because that was your wall to wall coverage all day.

233
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: You watch Lou Holtz for what he had to say

234
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: in Mark May, and they did crazy bits throughout the night.

235
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: They came back and forth at each other, like yeah,

236
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: session with Reese Davis. Yeah, Reece Davis is dressed as

237
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: a judge and lou Holtz and Mark May are like

238
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: making arguments for whoever the Heisman Trophy winners should be

239
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: at that point wherever it should be the number two

240
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Like this is the kind of

241
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: show it was for college football on Saturday, like the

242
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: College Football Final. It was all day with them and

243
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: it and that's what right remind what I watched is

244
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: this is kind of like watching inside the NBA, where

245
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: you have your pre show. We have the early game,

246
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: we have the halftime, we had the between games, we

247
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: have the halftime of the late game when things get

248
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: really crazy, and then after the late game when everybody's

249
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: just loopy because you know, it's like ten o'clock, one

250
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning at football, and Shaq and Charles

251
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, but that's what that show was. And

252
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: for people who have been college football fans of all ages,

253
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: you get into college football in the nineties and you're

254
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: watching ESPN that had all the different games on in

255
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: ESPN two jumps in and then you're seeing smaller colleges

256
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: on everywhere and Lee Corso Game Day, Hey was just

257
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: starting to hit its prime. And then once it got

258
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: in there, here comes College Football Final and it's Lou

259
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Holtz and Mark may And and Rhys Davis and whoever

260
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: else would fill in. And that was almost a two

261
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: decade run as well. So it was, Hey, we had

262
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: the pre show to get you everything all the way before,

263
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: like it was a full service day and the two

264
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: guys that you watched all the time were Lee Corso

265
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: and Lou Holtz. Like, I mean, Lou Holtz doesn't get

266
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: enough credit for what ESPN had college football. How they

267
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: continue to grow that over the course of the past

268
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: twenty someone i mean stopped a couple of years ago,

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: but the twenty years he was there from like two

270
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: thousand until let's say after twenty twenties, like like that.

271
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: This is before we're getting games all the time, you know,

272
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: we we're watching him streaming now, so we don't need

273
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: the between games updates because I can see whatever I

274
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: want to, you know, we get everything is more convenient now.

275
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: So this was that show at that time that hey,

276
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: when I want to know something, when I want to

277
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: see it, they're going to talk about it. Lou Holtz

278
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: is gonna say something really strong and he's gonna not

279
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: back away from it. And it was it was just

280
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: a great, great show. Well but that was the big thing,

281
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: right we talked about inside the NBA, And when we

282
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: guys get critical now, it's like, wow, you're gonna lash

283
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: it out against you. No, no, no, that that's what Corso

284
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: and Lou Holtz did forever. Yeah, it's like, look, they

285
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: had the love fest for the coaches, for the players,

286
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: for the game, but they didn't sugarcoate it for you.

287
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: If a guy made a bad decision on a play call,

288
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: they called it out. If a kid made a bad

289
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: decision in game, they called it out. And so that

290
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: honesty brought you in for the following Saturday and Saturday

291
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,640

Speaker 1: that that disputed national championship that he almost won the

297

Speaker 1: second time around. Oh, I thought we were gonna go

298
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,680

299
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: three and ten three in ten and he quit, okay,

300
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: intended he quit, doesn't matter, he broke, It doesn't matter. Yeah.

301
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: The fact that he'sti went on too a great career

302
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: tells you can survive the Jets. You can survive that.

362
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: them while giving fantasy advice. It was great. They had

363
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: to stop giving out uh ketchup packets at school in

364
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: fourth grade, third grade when Kiss was the biggest group

365
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: on the planet. Right, Kiss was the biggest rock rover

366
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: on the planet in the late seventies, right when Double

367
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: Platinum came out. Nothing was bigger than Kiss. I had

368
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: their own movie, they had their own everything. They had.

369
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: All four guys did did solo albums. And Gene Simmons,

370
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, we found out that you know, he would

371
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: just you know, his blood would come out of his

372
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: mouth when he's playing songs, and we'd always just biting

373
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: blood packets. So we take a card I'm sure everybody

374
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: else did this too, across country. But we would have

375
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: like like catch packets and we would bite them down

376
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: and see if we could make ourselves look like Geene

377
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: Simmons and pop out. And we did it and everything

378
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: was fine. And you know we we did it every day.

379
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: We would go up to the to the lunch the

390
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: And and of course you know she's half paying attention.

391
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: She's somebody throw a punch and the kid bites, the

394
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: and she's like, oh what And then when she figured

395
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: out what it was like, that was it. There was

396
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: no more ketchup in the lunch room for like the

397
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: rest of the week. If you know how to behave,

398
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: we'll bring ketchup back next week. So we had a

399
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: we had a weak ban on ketchup because of that.

400
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: It's funny because I would say, I'll speak for a

401
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: lot of school administrators and teachers, they'd love for that

402
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: to be the biggest issue yo, right now in nineteen

403
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight, that was pants got ruined because

404
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: I gotta catch up on him right now. That's a win.

405
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: I gotta catch up on pants, like I get that out.

406
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: That's not a problem. See, that's much better. I had

407
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: a guy that decided he was he learned that there

408
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: was blading in professional wrestling. I can't no, no, no, no, no,

409
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,200

Speaker 1: darkness today was Aaron Rodgers. Remember he's been in the

413
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:46,000

Speaker 1: was said there was no no soap and no plumbing.

415
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: I think was what it was, No soap and the plumbing. Uh,

416
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: the no plumbing. Okay, not my favorite thing to go

417
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: to the bathroom in nature, but I've camped enough and

418
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: I've got Okay, that's fine. Uh No, he is tough,

420
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: gotta go and just kinda break some bark off of

00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: a tree and like rub it under my arms and

422
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: then just like lay in the in the waters, rebel

423
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: in your musk. Yeah, I mean I think I think

424
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: a darkness tree is more like I'm staying in a

425
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: cabin in the woods. That's that's kind of what it is. Well,

426
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean when you say cabin in the woods, it

427
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: invokes uh the movie of that same title, and and

428
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: really that's a whole other world, and you roll with

429
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: the change. Uh, it would have just been cooler with

430
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: a merman. So he comes out of the darkness and

431
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: he goes on Pat McAfee show today. Now what's gonna

432
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: happen Is Aaron Rodgers gonna play football this year? Coming

433
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: off a pretty good last year with the Steelers, and

434
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: he gives this cryptic answer. But don't worry. I can

435
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: tell you exactly why he appeared on Pat McAfee and

436
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: what he wants to get out there and if he's

437
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: coming back. But here he is talking about how well,

438
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna come back, I kind of got to

439
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: hear from Pittsburgh at some point.

440
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 5: I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been

441
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 5: no deadline that's been you know, that's been put in

442
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 5: front of me. There's no contract, you know, offer or anything.

443
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 5: So there's nothing that I'm you know, having to debate

444
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 5: between I'm you know, free agent and you know again,

445
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 5: I'm I'm enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying

446
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 5: this part of the off season, and and you know,

447
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 5: I think there's conversations to be had down the line,

448
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 5: but right now, I'm not not. There hasn't been any

449
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 5: progressive conversations.

450
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: I like how he's doing the whole I'm choosing more

451
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: time with my family over football time for us and

452
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: more time. Nobody chooses more time with their family because

453
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: they've been away from their family for thirty years. I'm

454
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: not going to suddenly go back now. But he is

455
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: actually choosing time with his wife, time with my family

456
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: in the off season. He's the anti Clayton Kershaw in

457
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: your world. What he's doing Clayton Carroll, by the way,

458
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: got taken deep today in w By. It's just a

459
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: warm up. So what does this mean? What what I

460
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: can tell you everything that's gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers

461
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,240

462
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: going to play this year. There is no way he's not.

463
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: He is not going to risk not controlling the narrative

464
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: to the end of his career. Right, Guys that are

465
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: big stars. When you get to the level of Aaron Rodgers,

466
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: you want to go out on your terms. You want

467
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: to retire, You want to be the one to call

468
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: the shots. That was dicey for him coming off his

469
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: injuries with the Jets. Was he gonna get another chance

470
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: and things were different? But he has a pretty decent

471
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: ish season with the Steelers last year. If he was

472
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: going to retire, he would just retire because he's not

473
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna give up the power. He would come out and say,

474
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: you know what, I was in a Darknesster treat. It

475
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: was by myself and I was in the Woods, and

476
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: I talked to a fox and the fox said, how

477
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: you knowing mister Rodgers? And I said, oh, that's nice.

478
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden here comes a deer, and

479
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's snow White. And I'm

480
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: talking a bunch of people. Hio, Hio. Well, I mean

481
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: mcvie's part of the ESPN, you know, ABC, Disney Family.

482
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: They could have really presented that whole thing. Yeah, but

483
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: I still think snow White's on a moratorium. You can't

484
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: you can't get it where you at. Every twenty years

485
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: that Disney does it, they get rid of movies, and

486
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: he can't get him for a while. I think so,

487
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: so they think it's all on the street. He definitely

488
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: wants to play. He's definitely going to play, because he's

489
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: not gonna suddenly now go oh now, I'm not gonna play.

490
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: He's going to play. He can back up to it

491
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Everybody's gonna back up Derek Carr, everybody

492
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: goes back to all three of them back with the Jets.

493
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: But for Aaron Rodgers, what's he trying to accomplish here?

494
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: He is telling the Steelers, you ain't getting me for free.

495
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: This year. Okay. Now, I didn't have any influence or

496
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: cachet going into last season. So he really played it

497
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: from a great perspective of Hey, I just want to play.

498
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't need tons of money and go to the

499
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: I go to the Steelers and I'm gonna try to

500
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: finish my career on my terms. Right, That's what he

501
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: wanted to do. He didn't really have any any power,

502
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: he didn't have cachet. He signed a one year deal

503
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: for about fourteen to fifteen million, right, Okay, But now

504
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: he has a pretty good year and Steelers are saying, Okay,

505
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: we're going to go get Mike McCarthy. Okay, great, we've

506
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: got Mike McCarthy. I want Aaron Okay, I had a

507
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: pretty good year last year. You need something, You need me,

508
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: cause you're not gonna get a quarterback anywhere in the

509
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: draft this year. You're not gonna go out and get

510
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray or Kirk Cousins and bring one of those

511
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: guys in. You want me, and I am telling you

512
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: I am not coming cheap this year. It's not gonna

513
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: be one year. I'll play for love of the game. Stuff.

514
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: The fact that he says there's no contract offer like

515
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: he didn't say, Hey, we're talking. We're gonna talk later.

516
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: Everything is fine. I've talked to Omar, I talked to Mike.

517
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: He is letting everybody know it's not just gonna be

518
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I roll over and take whatever you give me. No, no, no,

519
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: this is gonna be. I'm gonna get more money. Maybe

520
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: it's something with two years in it, because I could

521
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: play this year or next year. I've felt my love

522
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: of the game again. I'm playing pretty well. I think

523
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: I know the offense well enough. Yeah, I'm ready to

524
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: keep going here. I kind of like it here in Pittsburgh.

525
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: I got Mike McCarthy all of a sudden, this is

526
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: a whole new world for me. But I ain't coming cheap.

527
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: So this is the first salvo and him saying, you're

528
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: not gonna come at me with Hey, how about one

529
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: year and twelve million. No, this is gonna be if

530
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: justin bleeping Fields can get two years and forty million

531
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: with the Jets, guess what I want two years and

532
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: forty million. I want it all guaranteed, all right, I

533
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: want thirty million guaranteed. He is telling the Steelers, Okay,

534
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm coming back. I'm playing but it ain't just gonna

535
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: be meat taking whatever you put in front of me.

536
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a thing. Talked a lot about

537
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: Latrobe and the love of being in front of the fans.

538
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: One of my favorite places to go for those that

539
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: just love being around football. You like the random trips

540
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: in the summertime, go out to Latrobe, go watch some

541
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: training camp. It'll be hotter than hell, but you get

542
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: access to the players and a lot of love there.

543
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: It's a great environment, great view, all of that stuff.

544
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: But it's the idea for Rogers. Look, he had a

545
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: six six point one or thereabouts intended air yards per attempt.

546
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: Only three quarterbacks were worse than that last year. You

547
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: want to guess who they were? Uh, both of them played,

548
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: two of them played for the Jets. Only one of

549
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: them in this Oh really okay, okay, so justin fields?

550
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: No sure? Oh Brady Cook? Yeah, okay, all right, I

551
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: thought both of them, I really I thought both of them.

552
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: Isn't much higher. But here's a three. Okay, all right,

553
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: very good? Okay, And then you got Dylan Gabriel and

554
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: uh free agent to be Kyler Murray. Yeah, match, but then, sorry,

555
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm a short guy. Can That's that's not right, that's

556
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: not cool man your side you've been side swiping people

557
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: since we started the show tonight. Would you rather go

558
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: back to the betting odds. I'm just saying, I'm just

559
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: trying to change up my game and keep you guessing it.

560
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: Instead of five nine, you could have said he was

561
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: six seven six seven six. One of my kids will

562
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: come flying through the door and punch me. We're done

563
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: with six seven six seven still a face. It really isn't.

564
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: It's still it's not as big as it was, but

565
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: it's still exactly game you play with. Ralph No, No, No.

566
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: Six seven, six seven is still big. It's not quite

567
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: big in the high schools like it was, but now

568
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: it's trickled down to where in the middle school, in

569
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: the middle schools, in the kindergarten, it's still there. Yeah. See,

570
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: I thought it became an old man thing at this

571
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: point that the adults have it. Let's let's let it go.

572
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: Uh and it passes on. But for for Rogers, Look,

573
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: they've got sixty million dollars of salary cap space. They

574
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: got rid of John hu Smith. That's another seven and changed.

575
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: Today they've told everybody Pat Fryarmouth isn't going anywhere, so

576
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: now you begin the rebuild process. Uh. Last year Daniel

577
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: Jones signed for about the same money that Rogers did.

578
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna get thirty eight point seven and he

579
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: may not be healthy for week one. Yeah, I think

580
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: if I'm Marrion Rodgers, I'm looking a ru gun. You

581
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: see what they just did for him, and and you

582
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: got Mike because you can't tell me he didn't have

583
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: some influence in bringing McCarthy in there, right right, So

584
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: it's everybody, uh, you know, washing each other's hands and

585
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: getting getting into the the mix here. I mean really,

586
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna he's gonna get more money. He

587
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: knows is the end of his is earning power coming

588
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: off this. They need him more than they needed him

589
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: last year. Last year is Hey, let's see if we

590
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: can work out, help each other out. You work out

591
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: better than the other quarterbacksy had it did? Okay? Hey,

592
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: all right now nwa okay, but now you're gonna give

593
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: me a little bit more sea. I was half expecting

594
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: him to hold up the list of all the free

595
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: agent quarterbacks or me. Come on time now to find

Speaker 4: room because they had two chances?

622
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,080

623
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,400

00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: it bounced off the grin out of saying like, ah,

705

709
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: football today and this is you know, when I saw this,

710
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: I just said, boy incoming from you, jerks, you and

711
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: Frosburg in three two. According to a couple of media reports,

712
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: Microlo one of them, the New York Jets are doing

713
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: their homework onto a tongue of ila. Well, I won't

714
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: have to pay him the ninety nine A right. I mean,

715
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: he's going to get released at some point in the

716
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: next few days. Now. The big debate is whether or

717
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: not they're going to eat all the money or you know,

718
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: break it up over two years. But he's getting released

719
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,759

720
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: of I loa Okay, This is really pushing my I

721
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: can get excited about any quarterback philosophy to the limit

722
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: because the only homework you need to do is say

723
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: you've seen toa throw the football. You've seen the wins

724
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,960

725
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: whiffle ball, Lefty him throwing the ball at Netlife. You

726
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: want Tua throwing the football at MetLife Stadium. Understand, that's

727
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: the only homework you need to do. Is that right there? Again? Put,

728
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: it's pushing me, Mike, it's pushing me. I want to

729
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: be positive out all the quarter because if Sam Darnold

730
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: can win, anybody can win. I want to be positive, man,

731
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: I want to want. I want to be excited when

732
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: when you send me that picture of two as a

733
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,880

735
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: pushing it, man, This is put. Let's take the guy

736
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: with the weakest arm in the NFL and put him

737
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: in the most difficult place to throw the football. What

738
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: could possibly go wrong? You're just gonna have to be

739
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: pinpoint precision in terms of the timing routes, which is

740
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: what to a tongue of I looa is altogether. Go

741
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: back and listen to any of the Sunday mornings I

742
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: got to do with Greg Gosel This season just town again.

743
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: It's like if it's off off schedule or he's just

744
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: gotta wing it, it's into the wind. We watched it.

745
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: It's a problem. It is next level of potential chaos here?

746
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: Now is he backing up? Derek Carr? That's sorry. I

747
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: had decide to wipe there your reaction when I sent

748
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: you that picture. I can't even say it on the radio.

749
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: That is non FCZ compliant. We will lose our license

750
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: and Tysher will lose his job. You don't want to

751
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: do that, the little Alex Tyser the Jets offense, We're

752
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: gonna go deep on this play? What does that mean?

753
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: Seven yard out? Seven yard's timing better be right because

754
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: he's throwing it right there.

755
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 2: How do I get season tickets?

756
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: And I want to watch this? I want to be

757
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: puck because I told you there's places for two ago.

758
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: I told you we talked about stop. You put it

759
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: out there and it's happened to you and I'm getting

760
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: but you're only gonna have to pay him like two

761
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: or three million dollars doesn't because the Dolphins are gonna

762
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: pick up the rest it does, which gives you a

763
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of money for other guys. So I try to

764
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: help him be better. So the best to way he

765
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: can be. You don't have to pay a guy who stinks,

766
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: which I guess is better than paying a guy. Yeah,

767
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because it still means a guy's stakes. Yeah,

768
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: but you're gonna be able to say we got him

769
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: on the cheek. But when the and then next year

770
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: when you're drafting at the top of the draft, because

771
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: you will be look at you, Dante more don't be

772
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: waiting for you. Well look now, look there is a

773
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: silver lining to this story. But first I want to

774
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: say is that we talked about the best fit for Tua,

775
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: and we've talked about the two biggest things were getting

776
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: off the radar screen for a little while and getting

777
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: to a place that is weather friendly for him to

778
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: throw the football. That's why Minnesota works because he's off

779
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: the radar for a little bit and playing half his

780
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: games in a dome. That's what he needs. This is

781
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: the exact and total op This is, Hey, let's go

782
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: to a bigger pressure cooker, and let's put you in

783
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: a place where, yeah, you're just gonna throw flutterballs. Yeah,

784
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: but the Minnesota's cork. You see how angry people get

785
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: about anything related to JJ McCarthy. Flutterball he goes into

786
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: that head. You know what, that send him to Arizona.

787
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about Arizona. The only silver lining is this,

788
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: and I'm being serious. Only silver lining is this is

789
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: you're really trying to get it, get you get? Is

790
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: getting this part of why getting excited about no normally

791
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: like gets. I could get excited about any quarterback because again,

792
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: if Sam Darnold can win the Super Bowl, lots of guys, guy, guy,

793
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: But that's not why I'm excited. That's why I'm excited.

794
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: Why are you My excitement is that if the Jets

795
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: signed to a that is going to maybe be their

796
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: best chance at drafting number one overall next year and

797
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: getting Arch Manning or Dante Moore or both of them,

798
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: because they could be that bad. Hey, we're gonna give

799
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: you the first two picks because you really need to

800
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: do something here. We can't have a New York team

801
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: be this bad for this long. So the one thing

802
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: getting to a Hey, I have no doubt. Well, Number one,

803
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: he'll throw every ball to Garrett Wilson if you haven't

804
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: been fantasy. Secondly, this is their best chance to tank

805
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: is getting to us. So there is that well, and

806
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: they also have a long storied history of left handed quarterbacks.

807
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: Let's go through the boomer asiasin Mark Brunell, Michael Vick

808
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: and say his name. Nope, say it, Nope, Nope, nope, nope,

809
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: your guy t Bow Nope. I remember being at training

810
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: camp watching that battle. I love it. Once they pulled

811
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: those cones away and let him just run prenetically side

812
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: to side and create chaos. He completed some passes inside

813
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: the cones, not so much. Maybe Tua can better that

814
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: effort here. I mean, that's all the homework you need

815
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: on to it. Really stretching my flub, really stretching my

816
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: positivity to the limit. Here, positivity Wednesday, Baby, come on now,

817

820
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: the NFL team that everybody should be jealous of. Jason

00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: and Mike fox or run as this should be the

822
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: blueprint of how to run a team in twenty twenty

823
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: six in the NFL, right because we looked at the

824
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs for the longest time. Oh boy, the Chiefs are

825
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: run well. Okay, Andy Reid's a great coach, and you

826
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: have the best quarterback in the NFL. It's like, say, well,

827
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: look how well the Pages run. You had the best

828
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, You had a pretty good coach,

829
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the Yeah, you had these things that

830
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: made it. And clearly we know that. Hey, the Patriots

831
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: real dynasty was way more because of Brady. Okay, the Chiefs, boy,

832
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: they win yet because they have Mahomes. But watching the

833
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: trade the Rams made today getting Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs, right,

834
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 1: all pro cornerback. They give up a package of draft picks,

835
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: number twenty nine pick this year, a couple of late

836
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: round picks as well, fifth and sixth round picks, a

837
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: third round pick next year. So the Chiefs do well

838
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: in the deal, don't get me wrong. You got a

839
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: first round pick, a third round pick, and a fifth

840
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: and a sixth you do Okay. Mahomes is shocked. He

841
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 1: put out damn on social media after seeing this, because

842
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: here's McDuffie going into the final year of his rookie

843
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: deal and looking for a big payday. Yeah, one of

844
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: their bat I mean obviously off the charts in terms

845
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: of his ability, attitude, and if you rank their players,

846
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: he's on the metal standard this point, right, I mean, look,

847
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: this is this is as good as you're gonna get. Right.

848
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: You're talking about a trade if for a late first

849
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: round pick, and you know the Rams have always been

850
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: f them picks, right, that's been their philosophy, And you

851
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: kind of knew this was coming.

852
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

853
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: Lesnied talked about it yesterday looking at the off season,

854
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: and he said, well, the first thing you always want

855
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: to look at to say, is there an All Pro

856
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: you can add? Hey, guess what, we just added an

857
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: All Pro player. In other words, he was nodding and

858
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: winking at you the whole time. Let's add an All

859
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: Pro player. And uh McDuffie, who we kind of knew

860
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: this might happen because he was asked previously in a podcast, hey,

861
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: if you're not playing for the Chiefs, where would you

862
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: like to play? And he was like, oh man, you're

863
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna get me in trouble. But you know, I'm from

864
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: LA so maybe the Rams and the Ram just said,

865
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: all right, so when you're up and they're gonna pay you,

866
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna trade for you. So should I will say, like,

867
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: this is a this is a fate of complete Like

868
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: at some point he's gonna be a rint. Was this

869
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: all broker before or after the third shrimp cocktail and

870
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: h extra drink? I want to play close to my family,

871
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: it would probably be the Rams so my family could

872
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: come see me every single game. Okay, Now this is

873
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: a few months ago when he was hosting a I

874
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: think he was at a doing a football camp in

875
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you know he gives that answer, so okay,

876
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: that's one of those clipings. Save Hey, all right, let's go.

877
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: This is why every team in the NFL, I am

878
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Bears are, I am sure the Cowboys

879
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: are extremely jealous of the Rams and how they're able

880
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: to not just stay relevant every year, but be a

881
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: super Bowl caliber team every year. Now in twenty twenty six, right,

882
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: because you want to look back and say, well, we've

883
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: seen that before. Well, yeah, because the Patriots had Brady

884
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: for the better part of two decades. All right, When

885
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: you have that and your coach is the same, yeah,

886
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna do pretty well. So I get the Patriots

887
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: dynasty also had the plays for a while ahead of time,

888
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, well, the Chiefs super Bowl third of

889
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: the Yeah, you have the same quarterback, right you had?

890
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: You have Patrick Mahomes who's the quarterback in the game.

891
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: And it reads a good ad coat. I understand that.

892
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: But this is the Rams who've been a yearly super

893
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: Bowl threat almost for a decade with different personnel. Year

894
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: two year they went to a super Bowl with Jared Goff.

895
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: They went to a super Bowl and won with Matthew Stafford.

896
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: They were nearly there again. This year, they were nearly

897
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: there again last year. Every year they find a way.

898
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 1: It's a volatile roster way to put the roster together

899
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: where it's we're gonna combine guys we drafted, and we're

900
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna combine getting guys that maybe have worn out there

901
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: welcome someplace. We're okay with that. We'll get a little

902
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: bit of crazy. They were going the pass. Let's get

903
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of crazy coming in. Now it's hey,

904
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: let's go out and get it all pro that the

905
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs aren't gonna be able to afford because they need

906
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: to revamp this team in the next level and worry

907
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: about different things. They gotta pay for offense in the offseason.

908
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: They gotta do a lot of different things. So, yeah,

909
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: they can't pay this guy, so we're gonna go out

910
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: and get them. We don't care about our first round pick.

911
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: We just had an all pro cornerback for the price

912
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: of a guy we got into the first round, a

913
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: third and a fourth or fifth round. Yeah, I'm absolutely

914
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: fine with that. The way the Rams are able to

915
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: do this and do it so brazenly and not just

916
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: fade out because at some point I remember thinking, at

917
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: some point, the bill is coming due and the Rams

918
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: are gonna have to spend a year or two resetting.

919
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: They got to get out from bad money and they

920
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: have to get back to where they are. No, no, no,

921
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: we just continue to find a way every year to

922
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: roll one year into the next, and maybe it's one

923
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: or two years with the star player before they say, okay,

924
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: we're moving on. How many more years they're gonna have

925
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams I don't know before they say, hey, we

926
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: got to move on from him. But that's what it

927
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: is they bring in lots of high profile guys to

928
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: fill whatever needs they are. After a couple of years,

929
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: they're gone and somehow we can bring in somebody else

930
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: replace them. Now, when you combine that with, hey, we

931
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: get a draft pick that after a couple of years,

932
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: this guy hits right. Took a couple of years, but

933
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: guess what they hit it with Blake Coorm. So now

934
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: it's not just Kyen Williams, but it's Kien Williams and

935
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: Blake korm that's at the head of that running game.

936
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 4: Right.

937
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: Koran was even the more valuable running back the back

938
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: half of the season this year than Kien Williams was

939
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: when you were like, Okay, well, this guy's terrific. They

940
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: have been able to not just av valuate the talent

941
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: the right way, getting guys deeper in the draft, bringing

942
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: in star players, turning them over from year to year.

943
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: And that's the big thing is that the turnover. They

944
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: keep rolling sevens because eventually you'd say, okay, with a

945
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: turnover one year, AT's not gonna work. Right, what you

946
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: try to do, the pieces you tried to fit at

947
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: doesn't work. We'll get back it again next year. Nope.

948
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: Every year super Bowl threat, whether it's Matthew Stafford, whether

949
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: it's Jared Goff, whether it's Matthew Stafford at the age

950
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: of thirty seven having an MVP type season. We're gonna

951
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: we find Pooka Nakua in the draft. Guess what, He's fantastic.

952
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: We don't need Cooper Cup anymore. The way the Rams

953
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: do it, I'm so incredibly jealous that they do it

954
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: better than anybody else in the NFL. I don't know

955
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: how they do it, how they keep going different money.

956
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna spend all of like there's a salary cap

957
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: and there's a but they make it work every single year. Well,

958
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: but it goes to the larger league conversation we have

959
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: and we do this and certainly in baseball right when

960
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: everybody does their belly aching about how the Dodgers operate. Sure,

961
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: the fact that you've got seemingly an unlimited bank roll

962
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: allows you to make mistakes. It allows you to hold

963
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: guys out a bit longer if they need to come

964
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: back off an injury. There are advantages to it, no doubt,

965
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: but you still need to be able to evaluate players

966
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: that have been discarded from other organizations, players that you

967
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: see a fit for how you run your offense or defense.

968
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: Now for the Rams, you've now hit a point with continuity,

969
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: and that's the key word to all of this. You

970
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: mentioned New England, you mentioned Kansas City, Well, you got

971
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: the same front office, You've got the same coach, the

972
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: same quarterback in all of those. In this case, yeah,

973
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: you had the year of Jared Goff, but you decided

974
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: you were done with him and you moved on and

975
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: McVeigh and he had to have their you know whatever,

976
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: maya kopa, how that was handled whatever over time. But

977
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 1: they've had the mini hiccups of waiting with baited breath

978
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: as to whether McVeigh was gonna leave, whether Matthew Stafford

979
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: was available. I still want more information on the back

980
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: end versus yeah, I'm just not coming to camp. Figure

981
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: it out kind of thing. As he goes out and

982
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: has an MVP season. But the draft analysis and the

983
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: way they've been able to make the most out of

984
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: that go back less. Sneave was hired in twenty twelve,

985
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: and I remember you and I doing shows here locally

986
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and when McVeigh got hired, just the

987
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: questions of Wow, it's gutsy and it's gonna either flame

988
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: out or this guy's truly gonna be the wonder kid

989
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: as you and I just keep referencing Ted Lasso left

990
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: and right. So here you have that opportunity, and you've

991
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: watched McVeigh at year after year show that acumen, and

992
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: they've drafted very well. They've picked players off the scrap

993
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: heap like Kansas City had done, like New England had done.

994
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: Think about those guys at the end of their runs,

995
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: Corey Dillon and all those guys that showed up in

996
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: New England at the end. But you needed that base

997
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: and consistency, and most teams are not patient enough to

998
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: do that, right Leaven the Bears right now, they've got

999
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: to go and scramble after their center says I'm leaving,

1000
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking my money and going, Okay, we thought that

1001
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: we had that nailed down all right, next pivot And

1002
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: they're only in year two of a regime. You're hopeful

1003
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: that you're building off of what happened last year, but

1004
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: you have no idea. And I guess go back two

1005
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: years to the trade that brought Calyb Williams. But I

1006
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: guess the larger point is patience because when it doesn't

1007
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: look like it's working. Because Blake Corn was a guy

1008
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: people were ready to discover a couple of years hasn't

1009
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 1: worked OUTCAU Usually running backs you see it right away,

1010
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: because if you have a little bit of vision, you're

1011
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: able to come into the league and do it. Like

1012
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: when you're a great athlete coming out of college. We

1013
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: see it right away. Edge Rusher's running backs. Hey little

1014
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: bit of vision, this was say, but we didn't see it,

1015
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: Blake CRM Okay, well they missed on him. Nope, Nope,

1016
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: just had to wait a little bit and look at

1017
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: Blake Corn a little bit of time wanting to take

1018
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of the workload away to make sure

1019
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: Kirin Williams was ready for the stretcher on at BAM.

1020
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: Now you have a two headed monster moving forward. Williams

1021
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: is on a pretty cheap deal relatively speaking, for his

1022
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: production these next couple of years in Korum, still on

1023
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: that rookie deal. So you get to go back into

1024
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: the marketplace like this and make make a play for

1025
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Now it becomes really interesting. They've got the

1026
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: twelfth most money to spend after renegotiating and reconstituting a

1027
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: bunch of these deals. But their level of need is

1028
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: huge for the rams they got as long as Stafford

1029
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: and McVeigh want to run this out. Now, this goes

1030
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: to the other part of what I've said for a

1031
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: long time, Jet Steak, get it. Well, No, that's that's

1032
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: been forty five years. The flip side of it is

1033
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: what I say, get the Chiefs last year because this

1034
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 1: offseason is gonna be incredibly aggressive. They're gonna go big offensively.

1035
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a new number one receiver, gonna be

1036
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: a star number one receiver, a star number one running back.

1037
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: They're going out spending money and look what they're doing. Hey,

1038
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: we're not paying this defensive player because watch what we

1039
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: do on offense, because they know, Hey, we need to.

1040
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: We need to. We can't keep running it back with

1041
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 1: these weapons what we have. We have to help Patrick

1042
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes out a little bit more. We tried for a

1043
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: few years with get by guys. It didn't work. Who

1044
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: knows it for she Rice is gonna play for us again.

1045
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: Who knows if Xavier Worthy is really any more than

1046
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: a gadget guy. So we gotta go out and I

1047
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: told you watch how aggressive they are once free agency begins.

1048
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: Number one stud receiver, number one stud running back, and

1049
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: I guarantee you they will also add a tight end

1050
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: because there's plenty of good tight ends available, and they're

1051
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: just gonna say, listen, come in one year, year behind

1052
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, and you're gonna play a lot. Don't worry

1053
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: because Travis is near the end, and next year it's

1054
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: your job. David and Joker will say, I'll sign up

1055
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: for that. So many free that's such a rich position

1056
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: in free agency, so many guys say, yeah, I'll go

1057
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: there for a year, split time with Travis Kelcey and

1058
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: then and then take over for the back half of Mahomes' career. Yeah,

1059
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm there. Watch what they add on offense this offseason.

1060
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: They're clearing the decks for it. Well, we went through

1061
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: the best and deepest positions in free agency skill position.

1062
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: Of course, for the sake of the conversation, we'll do

1063
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: interior alignment another time. But the tight end position already

1064
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: had ten plus in terms of free agents that could

1065
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: come in and be a pass catcher. And then, as

1066
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: we discussed last hour, Pittsburgh is letting Johnny Smith back

1067
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,959
Speaker 1: into the two years ago for two he caught eighty
