29
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: gonna tell you don't know the story I'm about to tell.

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: It's not about you. I always feel bad when I

31
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: tell Demanse a story that's about him that he doesn't know.

32
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell that's not what's happening here. But I

33
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: think you'll like this story. So eight years ago I

34
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: went to literally like eight years almost to the day,

35
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: I went to Syracuse and did a talk. So that

36
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: was before first things first existed, when I was just

37
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: filling in and going on Collins Show. I went to

38
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: Syracuse and it wasn't like a big formal thing. Like

39
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: in a theater. It was at the radio station that

40
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: formed my career War and they announced it to the

41
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: kids who were working at WAR that they could come

42
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: and you know, I basically talk and answer questions whatever

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: it was. And one of the people there was ty Butler,

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: who if you know Demons, you've met him. He was

45
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: a student there. He ended up working with me on

46
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: What's Right with Nick Wright, the radio show on Mad

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: Dogs Sports Radio. And now tye is a local New

48
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: York sports talk star. He works for ESPN New York.

49
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: He does stuff on TV. He and I have become friends.

50
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: And you know, Syracuse and War is you know, kind

51
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: of not It's not the only place, but it is

52
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: the place for young aspiring sportscasters. And during the Olympics,

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: I'm watching Noah Eagle and I've been I've obviously been

54
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: aware of Noah for years. In Noah's dad is Iron Eagle,

55
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: who was a Syracuse legend and a great broadcast for

56
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: forty years or thirty years. I don't want to date him.

57
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: And Noah did the Clippers job and has gotten some

58
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: big gigs and was doing the Olympics with Dwayne Wade.

59
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: But that's all I had thought of when I saw

60
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: Noah Eagle over the years was us as a young kid.

61
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: And to me, there is a real Joe Buck Jack

62
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: Buck possibility of And this is a high compliment. Jack

63
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: Buck was one of the greatest broadcasters ever. His son Joe,

64
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: Joe might not like me saying this, but I believe

65
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: has surpassed him. Where Joe is now maybe the greatest

66
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: him costas obviously Al Michael's play by play guy ever,

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: where the dad was a legend and the son maybe

68
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: overtook him. It's too early to say that's going to

69
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: happen with Noah and I an Eagle, but after his

70
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: performance in these Olympics, it's on the board, his kids

71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: twenty seven years old and crushed it met the moment

72
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: consistently on the men's and women's basketball and his profile

73
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: is only going to grow. And his dad is a legend,

74
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame broadcaster, and maybe he'll surpass it.

75
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: Uh So here's the reason I'm telling the story right now.

76
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: And I said the eight years ago thing. During the Olympics,

77
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: something occurred to me. I was like, did I ever

78
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: talk to Noah Egle Because I was like, wait, he

79
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: was probably at Syracuse when I did that talk, and

80
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: so I went to my email and typed into the

81
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: search bar Noah Eagle, and this came up, and I

82
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: want to read it to the audience. Mister Wright. My

83
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: name is Noah Eagle, and I was amongst the crowd

84
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: and new house last night to listen to you speak.

85
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: I enjoyed your stories and great piece of advice. I'm

86
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: sorry I couldn't stay longer afterward to come up and

87
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: introduce and formally introduced myself. Oh that's funny, it says formerly,

88
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: he meant formally. I work at both War and Z

89
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: eighty nine, and to hear you talk about how both

90
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: played such a vital role in your future success was

91
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: a reminder how great Syracuse is. I'm a big fan

92
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: of yours and love what you've been doing at Fox.

93
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing what the future as in

94
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: store for your career. I was honored to be able

95
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: to hear you speak and hope to meet you one

96
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: day in person, And thankfully, because I'm not good at email,

97
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: I did respond. It was like a couple weeks later

98
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: I responded, it was nice to meet you, appreciate the note.

99
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: Keep in touch, but that was crazy to me, Like

100
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: it's a crazy to me for a couple of reasons.

101
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: One is I'm now officially like the old guy. Like

102
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: this guy who's calling the Olympics heard was at a

103
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: talk I gave when he was in college. It also

104
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: speaks to his meteoric rise that he was sending me

105
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: that email on August thirty first, twenty sixteen, and on

106
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: August tenth, twenty twenty four, he's calling the gold medal

107
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: game for the men's Olympic team. I mean, it's pretty remarkable.

108
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: At that time.

109
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: And had no idea that you guys had had a

110
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: conversation previously.

111
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: I guess via email, but.

112
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, no, I it was. Here's the thing, he

113
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: and I have never spoken since then. That's our only interaction.

114
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: But I saw that and it made me feel old.

115
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: It also made me want to shout out Syracuse and

116
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: Z eighty nine and wa R. And it was really

117
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: cool and so inspiring. I mean, it's really cool. Well,

118
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, listen his dad's iron eagle. I think he

119
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: had plenty of inspiration separate from it, but it all,

120
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: it's the It's just it was really I couldn't believe

121
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: when I saw that and on Tuesday, I when I said,

122
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: remind me telling Noah Eagle story, that's the one that

123
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: I wanted to tell. So shout out to him. Good

124
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: for him, Uh, good for great you know, a great

125
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: young broadcaster, and he is. You know, Joe Joe Buck

126
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: talked about this because there's a lot of broadcasters that

127
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: got their foot in the door because their dad was

128
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: a great broadcaster. And then the question is, you know,

129
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: do you kick the door open? How well do you do?

130
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: Joe obviously is the gold standard of that. But Noah's

131
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: doing a hell of a job. All right, let's talk

132
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: football here to Monsey and to some sad news.

133
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

134
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Minnesota's had a pretty crummy off season. Uh

135
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: jj McCarthy is out for the year, I think with

136
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: a tormniskus and Darnld's officially the starter. Jordan Addison was

137
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: carted off at practice yesterday. Minnesota was already plus one

138
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 4: thousand to win the division before this. What do you

139
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: think their chances are at winning anything at this point?

140
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: And should the TA should have? Should the Vice can

141
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: just go full out tank and trade justin Jefferson?

142
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: So maybe the Chiefs No, they no, Okay, they're not

143
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: going to trade Justin Jefferson. Uh and they listen, they

144
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: this is brutal for them because it so I couldn't

145
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: believe this fact. But then I thought about it, I'm like, oh,

146
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: I guess it kind of makes sense. JJ McCarthy is

147
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: going to be the first quarterback drafted in the first

148
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: round in the common Draft era, which means since nineteen

149
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: sixty seven, So we're talking about more than fifty five

150
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: years to miss his entire rookie season with injury without

151
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: ever playing a single snap. So you might say, well,

152
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: that's crazy, And then I thought about it. I'm like, well,

153
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: that would mean you would have to get injured before

154
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: Week one, which is what happened to him. So it

155
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: is relative. We've had guys sit their whole rookie season.

156
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: We've had guys like Anthony Richardson play briefly, get hurt

157
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: and then miss time. He's the first guy first round

158
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: quarterback ever to miss his entire rookie no, so, but

159
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: that was that was not his rooki year. That was

160
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: he got injured in the seton in it in year

161
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: two and he got there. And there have been plenty

162
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: of guys to play zero snaps their rookie year, but

163
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: not because of injury. It was because of a Mahomes

164
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: Alex Smith situation. But even in that situation, Mahomes played

165
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: the final game of that season. So it is it

166
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: is brutal for Minnesota for this season. The bright side

167
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: is twofold one is the torn meniscus is a tricky

168
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: one because there's two procedures you can do and it's

169
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: counterintuitive as far as the impact it has and how

170
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: it works. If you tear your meniscus, you can do

171
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: a procedure where they just trim the meniscus, basically shorten it,

172
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: and you can be back in a month. The other

173
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: option they have is to repair the meniscus, fix the tear,

174
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: and you're out four to six months. So why wouldn't

175
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: they just trim it. The reason you choose to repair

176
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: it and not just trim it is because the trim

177
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: can shorten your career and lead to longer term knee issues.

178
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: Dwayne Wade is a guy who early in his basketball

179
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: career suffered a torn meniscus. They trimmed it, and he

180
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: would tell you that's one of the reasons that eight

181
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: nine years later he had all those knee issues and

182
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: now he's calling the Olympics alongside Noah Eagle. What Lebron

183
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: his draft mate play in the Olympics when d Wade's

184
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: career ended years ago. So the I was worried that

185
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: the Vikings were going to and JJ was going to

186
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: opt to do the trim because man, I don't want

187
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: to miss this full season. You do a trim, I

188
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: could be back out there by week two or three.

189
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: They did the judicious smart thing. But it's just so

190
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: whack for them that he's now out for the year.

191
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: There and go ahead, go ahead, Sorry, no, I was

192
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: just go ahead and they're over under his two and

193
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 3: a half. Now do you think that's well, it's a

194
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: little crazy.

195
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: No, I listen, I know the producers put that in there.

196
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: That's impossible that that's true. Hey, that's not your mistake.

197
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: There's no chance that's accurate. And if they if the

198
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: producers show me that that is correct, I will put

199
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars on it before the end of the

200
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: podcast that that's the that's their hold on that's their

201
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: division wins. So they were the producers wrong twice that

202
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: there's zero two and a half division wins. You only

203
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: get six so yeah too. No, no, no, no, I honestly

204
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: I doubt it changed. They're over under uh much because

205
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 2: a rookie JJ McCarthy versus Sam Darnold, who's just gonna

206
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: be bad. But you know, it's a seven year vet.

207
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: They they're over under before the injury was seven and

208
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: a half. My guess is it's still right around that still.

209
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: So I don't actually think it impacts their ability. It

210
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: lowers their ceiling this year because maybe JJ was gonna

211
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: light the world on fire, and I did love his

212
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: performance in that preseason game, but it it does not.

213
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't really make them, you know, the worst team

214
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: in football this season anything like that. Uh, it's just

215
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: a bummer because you wanted him to take his lumps

216
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: this season. You wanted him, you wanted him to learn

217
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: from this season. Now, one bright side is that I

218
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: think JJ what JJ was going to be if he

219
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: played Week one. The second youngest quarterback to ever start

220
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: a game in the NFL. The youngest was actually Darnold.

221
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: He's twenty one years old, Okay, so even with him

222
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: missing this year, he's going to start his career at

223
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: twenty two years old. Compare that to, for example, Michael Pinnix,

224
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: who is twenty four. Bo Knicks who turns twenty five

225
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: this season or at the very end of this season.

226
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: So he's still so young that I think he'll be okay.

227
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: It's just if you're a Viking fan, You've had such

228
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: a sad offseason. You had a play a player die

229
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: tragically in a car accident, you had two other corners injured,

230
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: the Addison injury. Here is the one thing I'm gonna

231
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: say about carted off and training camp. That can be

232
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: a misleading thing, and people covering these teams need to

233
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: need to do a better job of clarifying. So, for example,

234
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: yesterday I'm driving into work and I see Chiefs right

235
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: tackle Juwan Taylor carted off the field, and I'm like,

236
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: you've gotta be kidding me. But what happened was he

237
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: tweaked his shoulder and he rode off the field in

238
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: the front seat of the golf cart. So carted off

239
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: in the regulars season means devastating, awful injury. Carted off

240
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: in preseason can mean that. It can also mean they

241
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: have carts all over the place, and if a guy

242
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: gets dinged, he rides in the cart. You know what,

243
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: I mean to the training room, and so it's so,

244
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: but that Addison got it. You know, Addison got in

245
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: trouble this offseason and then also got injured, So it

246
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: hasn't it obviously has been a brutal offseason for the Vikings,

247
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: and you feel for him. I do think their their

248
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: course of action here was the smart one, and I'm

249
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: glad this is the path that they took. I just

250
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: think if you're a Vikings fan, now you don't have

251
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: much reason to care about this season.

252
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: All right, let's just je.

253
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: Did you say that they just signed him? They just

254
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: signed him. There's first of all, they can't trade him.

255
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: Second of all, it the the the reason you would

256
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: trade great players is if you don't have the draft

257
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: capital to move up to get your franchise quarterback. They

258
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: think they have their franchise quarterback in JJ. So no,

259
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: it's just kind of a you know, hold in place

260
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: season and then you move on. All right.

261
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: Next, So Jalen Hurts is not throwing an interception in

262
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: training camp. Oh well, some may say that's good. You

263
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: think that it's a problem. I think you think that

264
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: maybe Jalen Hurts isn't taken enough chances or maybe there's

265
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 4: a problem with that Eagles defense.

266
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: So here, what is it here?

267
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: All right? Listen, I understand I'm gonna come across as

268
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: a total hater here, but I just know I'm right.

269
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: This is the comp that Wilds used and then he

270
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: was too cowardly to do it on the air, but

271
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 2: he did it off the air, And so now I'm

272
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 2: gonna quote him was you don't want to hang out

273
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: with someone that is when you go to dinner, they're

274
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: going to the bathroom three times because they're blowing lines

275
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: of coke. And you don't want to go to someone

276
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: that when you hang out with them, when they go

277
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 2: to dinner, they ask the waiter to tell them every

278
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: item in every dish because they can't have gluten or

279
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: sugar or wheat, and they don't drink coffee and any

280
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: of it. Those two extremes both will ruin your night.

281
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: So here's my point. You don't want a guy throwing

282
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: a pick every day at training camp, and you don't

283
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 2: want a guy who's thrown none at training camp. Again,

284
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it's everything, but I don't think it's nothing.

285
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: And again people can make fun of me for this.

286
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: They asked me on the show what's the right amount

287
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 2: of training camp interceptions? And I said, I don't know,

288
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: probably how many mahomes is thrown whatever, however many he's

289
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: thrown is probably the right amount. I think we're taking

290
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: a few internet hits. So let's take a Wick break,

291
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 2: come back and give some coaches some advice. We'll do

292
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: that next What's Right? Welcome back in What's Driving? Nick Right?

293
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: Apologize for those slight technical difficulties to monsday. Before we

294
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: get to our coaches corner or coaches hotline, I should say, uh,

295
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: let's keep the show going talking little packers Texans.

296
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yesterday on your show you said that Green

297
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: Bay or Houston is bound to have a letdown season.

298
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 4: So which team are you going to lean towards and

299
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 4: what will influence your decision on that?

300
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: So I don't know yet, but I just know that

301
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: those two. So let's go back two years ago. Okay,

302
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: two years ago the two teams that I guess we

303
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: got to go back three years ago, but just follow me.

304
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: Three years ago. The Lions and Jags were bad, bad teams,

305
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: but they one of them chained. They both changed quarterbacks,

306
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: they changed coaches, and there was you know, that's what

307
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: the franchise had hoped for. But then those seasons they

308
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: won like two or three games each of them, maybe

309
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: the Lions won four. The Jags obviously fire their coach,

310
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 2: the Lions don't, and the next year those two teams

311
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: kind of came out of nowhere. Both came on strong

312
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: at the end of the season. The Lions end up

313
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: winning their final game of the year against Green Bay,

314
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: but still missing the playoffs. The Jags surge into the

315
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: playoffs win a playoff game that was them two years ago.

316
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: And both of them came into last season as trendy

317
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: popular picks, the Lions and the Jags. Young quarterback in Jacksonville,

318
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, kind of quarterback on a second chance, not

319
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: necessarily young in Detroit, but both of those teams were

320
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: the trendy. They were too popular to even be called sleepers.

321
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: People really believed in them. And one of them lived

322
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: up to all those expectations. In Detroit won game the

323
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: first game of the year against Kansas City. They were,

324
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 2: you know, putting Marquis Spots got to the NFC Championship game.

325
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: The other one the Jags ended up, I think because

326
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: Trevor got hurt. But whatever, having a very disappointing season,

327
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: falling short of expectations. The reason I tell that story

328
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: is the Jags Texan I'm sorry, the Jags Lions last

329
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: year remind me a lot, not even because they're both

330
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: from the NFC North and the AFC South of the

331
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: Packers Texans. This year teams that two years ago we

332
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: would have thought were, you know, in the kind of

333
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: no man's land rebuilding figuring it out. Last year. Both

334
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 2: came on very strong at the end of the year,

335
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: played their best football after not being very good early

336
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 2: in the year. At the end of the year, one

337
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: playoff games, and both of them are considered kind of

338
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: fringe Super Bowl contenders. This year, I'm here to tell

339
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: you NFL history tells us one of those two teams

340
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: is going to disappoint because progression in this league is

341
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: not linear. It's not the NBA, where it's like you're awful,

342
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: you get to five hundred, you finally make the playoffs,

343
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 2: you finally go on a playoff run, and then you

344
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 2: can win a championship. In the NFL, progression is more

345
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: like you go up, take a couple steps back, go up,

346
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: go up again, step back. That's how it is historically

347
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 2: for players and for teams, and for the.

348
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: Packers anticks for these not the bost.

349
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: Yes exactly. I just think one of these teams, I

350
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: don't think. I think these two teams are a little

351
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: too trendy, and we are a little too focused on

352
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: the last thing we saw from them rather than the

353
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: entirety of what we saw from them. The Packers are

354
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: considered have a lot, a lot of hype for a

355
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: team that through fifteen weeks last year was six and eight,

356
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: six and eight, and then they win their final three games,

357
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: they blow out the Cowboys, they're in great position in

358
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: round two, or seemingly great position, and then lose, and

359
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: now everyone believes in them. The Texans are going for it,

360
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: adding Digs, adding Danell Hunter, adding Joe Mixon, and I

361
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: get that, and I respect it. Point where I am

362
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: willing and we'll see when we come back from vacation

363
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: and we do our official picks and predictions and bets

364
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: all of that, which of these two teams I land on.

365
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: The point I'm making demands is, if NFL history is

366
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: our guide, one of these two teams is going to

367
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: fall woefully short of expectations. And I I right now

368
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: am leaning. I think the Texans are better than the Packers,

369
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 2: but I think the Texans are more likely to be

370
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 2: the team that deals with that because I think the

371
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: Texans the Packers don't have to deal with the first

372
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: place schedule the Texans do. The Texans are in the

373
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: AFC and as good as much as I like CJ

374
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: and Demico, the Texans this year, while the schedule starts

375
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: off relatively soft, the end of the year I think

376
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: is brutal and I could see I could see this

377
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: going sideways on them, but I'm not sure because I

378
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: think CJ is awesome and I love their receiver core,

379
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: and there's a lot to like about the team in.

380
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: The locker room as well. Now who knows what that

381
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: with that effect affect.

382
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 2: That could be correct and that could be combustible, so

383
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: we'll see. I just I think there is this time

384
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: of year nobody wants to pick an actual sleeper. They

385
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: want to pick a team that is a trendy pick

386
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: and call it a sleeper like this would not be

387
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: my pick, but an actual sleeper would be. I think

388
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: Seattle is going to be dangerous. I think Washington is

389
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: going to be dangerous. I think the the Raiders are

390
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: going to be dangerous. That's an actual sleeper. The Packers

391
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: and Texans are a couple standard deviations away from sleeper.

392
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 2: They are trendy picks. All right, let's go to you

393
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: want to say something I see. I don't think they're

394
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: I don't think they're a sleeper super Bowl team. I

395
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: think they're by the odds. I think they're a fringe

396
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: super Bowl team. But maybe I'm wrong. All right, let's

397
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: go hard. Let's go to the holdouts.

398
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the holdouts are continuing. We got Brandon Ayuk.

399
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: We don't know if you're staying in San Francisco or

400
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: going to Pittsburgh.

401
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: There's no movement for CD.

402
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 4: Weirdly on Hassan Reddick has no connection with the Jets

403
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: and is not playing. So when we look back at this,

404
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: which holdout do you think will end up hurting their

405
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 4: team the most?

406
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: Well?

407
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: I think CD is gonna end up with the Cowboys.

408
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: I don't understand what they're doing. It could hurt him

409
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: in week one, but he'll be fine. I thought Ayuk

410
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: was a Steeler a week ago. So if Ayuk stays,

411
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: then I think they're fine there. Okay, if they end

412
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: up trading him, obviously, it's devastating. The holdout that was

413
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: not mentioned here that I think could be the most

414
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: important is Trent Williams with the Niners. He's the best

415
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: player on their team. He is the only guy you

416
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: really trust on their offensive line, and he's old, and

417
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: so him missing all of camp if that leads to

418
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: another injury. He also wants upon a time in Washington

419
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: held out for like half the season, so he has

420
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: shown he's one of the only guys in the league

421
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: who has shown I'm willing to miss games, and so

422
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: that would that's that has not gotten enough coverage. The

423
00:27:54,280 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick thing is the flashing red light siren for

424
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 2: multiple reasons. One, the Jets need him. As good as

425
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: the Jets defense was last year, they had one guy

426
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: with at least eight sacks, Bryce Huff. He's gone to

427
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles. The Eagles signed him because they were trading

428
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick, so it's a position of need for the Jets.

429
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: They lost Huff, they spent a first round pick on

430
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: Will McDonald last year, who has not popped at least

431
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: didn't last year, and Reddick doesn't want to play for them.

432
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 2: But the other reason it's a flashing red or it's

433
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: a red flag is because it shows total organizational incompetence.

434
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: Like Matthew Judon yesterday got traded to the Falcons. Why

435
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: because he wanted a new contract the Patriots didn't want

436
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: to give him. You know what, I am one hundred

437
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: percent certain on the Falcons have worked out a contract

438
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: with Matthew Judin to where he'll be happy, because that's

439
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: what organizations that know what they're doing do. They don't

440
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: trade for a player who's unhappy about a contract without

441
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: working out a new deal and then act shocked he's

442
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: unhappy about a contract so they need him on the

443
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: field and it shows organizational incompetence. Go ahead, Demantsey.

444
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 4: I mean, at least those guys at least they didn't

445
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: have to at least they hadn't played a season with

446
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 4: Hassan Redick. Yet I still think the CD Lamb one

447
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 4: is the worst of the three.

448
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 3: If he does end up not playing, what's gonna you know,

449
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen to that playing? Right?

450
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: Oh?

451
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: Ye?

452
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: And then yes, but but what does it say, like

453
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: you know what, CD, you're playing with me at this point,

454
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: like you're going on you're talking about.

455
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: Nobody appreciates CD more than me. It's like, what are

456
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: you talking? Just just pay me?

457
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: Oh well, listen, I think it's dumb, and I totally

458
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: agree with you, But I think all feelings will be

459
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: healed when they give him four years, one hundred and

460
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars, which I'll go ahead and plant my

461
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: flag on that right now. I think that's what he's

462
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: gonna get, four years, one thirty with seventy five guaranteed

463
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: and so so that'll but it still could lead to

464
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: a slow starter soft tissue injuries because of the lack

465
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: of training. I get that, but I don't think there's

466
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: any chance he actually misses time. All right, let's go

467
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: to our game, demands the coaching hotline.

468
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: Coaching hotline.

469
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: All right, So coaches around the NFL are paying attention

470
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: to you.

471
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: Oh, they're about to put me in the room first. Yeah.

472
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: So coaches around the NFL are paying attention to you,

473
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 4: not because of your world renowned clock management skills, but

474
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 4: because of your revolutionary run the ball on second and

475
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 4: seven approach at NCAA twenty five.

476
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: So are you officially playing now?

477
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: Oh? I? Oh? Not only am I playing? So yeah,

478
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: the franchise, we retired it. We did ten solid years

479
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: at Syracuse. We won two national championships, we had three

480
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: number one recruiting classes, and my work there was done.

481
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: So now I've actually started playing the game, and I'm

482
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: here to tell you I'm cooking. I'm here to tell

483
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: you that that I am the no. It's all online.

484
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm playing, and I am confident enough, and I'm justifying

485
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: how often I'm playing by saying it's helping me learn

486
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: about the college football rosters headed into the season because

487
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: this new gun has the real ratings, the real names,

488
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: all of it, which means every game I use a

489
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: different team. So I've played forty games and I've used

490
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: forty different teams. I started with all the Tier one teams.

491
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: Now I've used all the Tier two teams. Now I'm

492
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: making my way through the Tier three teams. And I'm

493
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: here to tell you if you're a starting quarterback on

494
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: one of the teams I pick, and you're slow and

495
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: there is an accurate, low awareness, but very fast freshman

496
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: deep on the depth chart, you're getting benched, buddy, because

497
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: I am out here running the speed option and the

498
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: read option so option, like I'm Georgia Tech. I am

499
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: out here just putting speed on the field, running the

500
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: damn ball, running the damn ball, and then chucking it

501
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: deep and frustrating people. Yesterday I had this guy in

502
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: the torture chamber because here's the thing. Yesterday I played

503
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: a game before I went to work, so this usually

504
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: I play when I get home from work, but yesterday

505
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: I had all my stuff done early, and it was

506
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: like ten to twenty and I was the only one

507
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: at home. I'm like, I'm getting a game, in which

508
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: means now I'm playing. Either now I'm playing. If it's

509
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: an adult, it probably means he doesn't have a job,

510
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: because it's ten twenty in the afternoon and we're playing,

511
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: or ten twenty the morning and we're playing in Cuba.

512
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: And this guy was so mad at the defensive coverages

513
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: and disguises I was throwing at him, and he kept

514
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: saying into the mic, you just stay in that cover.

515
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: You're just in cover two man. Get out of cover

516
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: two man. But I was never in cover two man.

517
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: I am just in the absolute torture chamber. And listen,

518
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: I only score like thirteen points a game. I'm out

519
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: here kicking field goals demanday, I'm punning on fourth and media.

520
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: I am, well, yeah, you got it, you gotta. I'm

521
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: using third down as just to give up down to

522
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: center the ball to make sure I'm in good field

523
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: goal position for your I am playing the most conservative

524
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 2: brand of video game football anyone's ever seen, and nobody

525
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: can deal with me. I mean, I just keep now again,

526
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: the way it works, you have to win enough to

527
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: get to the level of the actual great players. But

528
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: I have rapidly ascended the ranks. I won the quote

529
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: national championship in whatever the second easiest difficulty is. I

530
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 2: in my ten games, I did so well. Yeah freshmen, right,

531
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: So now I'm I'm currently undefeated in the sophomore division.

532
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 2: So I guess I haven't played. I've played almost thirty games, okay,

533
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: and I'm just out here cooking, and so eventually I'm

534
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: sure I'm going to I'm going to play people that

535
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 2: are really, really good. But these these.

536
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: Kids, you should play me.

537
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 4: They I've played like like maybe sixteen games and used

538
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 4: Texas in every single one of them, so I'd be using.

539
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: Texas, so you should. So you so, but the Texas

540
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: is excellent, and Quinn your is a good passer, but

541
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: he's not mobile. The team you should try if you

542
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: want a team that has great players and the and

543
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: a good quarterback, but also he can scoot. Georgia is

544
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: no George's quarter Alabama, Alabama Jalen Milrow. Yeah. The other

545
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: thing I'll tell you right now is the second fastest

546
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: quarterback in the entire game is Syracuse's third string kids

547
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: at speed? Oh my goodness, folks, get mad. I placed.

548
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: So I played with Syracuse a few times. Exit's my school,

549
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: and I'm here to tell you man. They're like, oh yeah,

550
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: like they're Ohio State, and then they see they're playing

551
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: a Tier three Syracuse. They're all excited, and they've got

552
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: a great tight end Aronde Gadson Junior and this quarterback.

553
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 2: And I'm just out here running the option, running the option.

554
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: You're ready for it, You're ready for it. And then

555
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 2: boom Gadson over the middle, and then running the option,

556
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: running the option. Oh yeah, oh I'm out. Yeah. I

557
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: love this game. I missed this game so much, and

558
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: so all right, sorry coaches, so oh the reason you

559
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: even brought this up is because I said to coach Mangini,

560
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: I now have a newfound respect for running the ball

561
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: on first and ten, for running the ball on second

562
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: and seven, for making the defense respect the run to

563
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 2: open up my passing options. And so Coach Manginie's been

564
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: trying to convince me that for years. But now that

565
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm in it, now that i'm.

566
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 3: Really you didn't always agree with run the ball on

567
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: second and seven.

568
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: Strategy, I get very frustrated. Basically, let me just tell

569
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: you something in video games. Maybe I was on with

570
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 2: coach about real football, and he knows he's watched enough

571
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs games with me that basically, every time the Chiefs

572
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 2: run the ball, I get mad. Let's just let Patrick

573
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: do it. Just leave it, leave the game in Patrick's hands.

574
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: That's what I want, but I do understand it. Okay,

575
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: let's go to our coaching hotline. Sorry, that's probably longer

576
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: than people wanted or needed on n C Double eight,

577
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: but I'm here to tell you I love the game.

578
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 2: I missed it so much, and I'm so glad it's back.

579
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 4: Go ahead, I'm glad you're having Bob's So yeah, since

580
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: the hot line is blinking, we've i mean, since the

581
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 4: demand is so high, We've started a hotline. So new

582
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 4: head coaches get sixty seconds of your time for you

583
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: to iron them straight. First off, you got Jim Harbaugh.

584
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 4: He's been away from the NFL for nearly a decade

585
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 4: and needs to be caught up to speed.

586
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: What's your advice to Jim Harball? All right?

587
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: Advice Jim Harbaugh is very simple, which is stick with

588
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: what got you there. There's gonna be a lot of

589
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: external pressure. You have justin Herbert. He has this cannon.

590
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: He's Herbert's dealing with Planner Fascia, a planner for Situs injury.

591
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: Was Planner Fascio. Instead of drafting Neighbors at number five,

592
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: you drafted Joel. You're in a division where none of

593
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: the teams, the Chiefs included, have great run defenses. You

594
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 2: hired Greg Roman. You want to the ball, keep running

595
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: the ball and Bill and don't do what the previous

596
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 2: regime did there. And I think, by the way, he's

597
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: gonna take all this advice and try to microwave it.

598
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: Look at it as this year we're gonna get back

599
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: to respectability. Next year we're gonna expect to be a

600
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: playoff team, and the year after we're gonna try to

601
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: compete with the Chiefs of the division. That's exactly what

602
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: he's going to do, and that'd be my advice. I

603
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: don't think he really needs advice. I think he's doing

604
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: it the smart way and that's what they're gonna do. Next.

605
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: Take it.

606
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 4: Next is Raheem Morris with the Falcons. He's asking to

607
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: do a better job than Arthur Smith. Doesn't seem too hard.

608
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: What's your advice for Raheem Morris?

609
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 2: So I listen, there is going to be a lot

610
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: of focus on Oh my god, finally Kyle Pitts and

611
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: Drake London can get the ball. And again, this is

612
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: gonna sound very old school of me. However, even with

613
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: the addition of Matthew Judhan on defense, the Falcons are

614
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: going to have one of the worst defenses in football now.

615
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: Raheem is a great defensive mind and will be able

616
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: to coach them up to a degree, but they don't

617
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: have enough talent, which means they can't be getting in shootouts.

618
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: The most important player on your team needs to be

619
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: Bjean Robinson. He was my pick last year for Offensive

620
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: Player of the Year. Before the year, if you remember,

621
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 2: I still think he is a superstar. I think he

622
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: might leave this season as the best running back in

623
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 2: football and then get Kyle Pitts back re engaged via

624
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. But you don't want to get in shootouts

625
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 2: with that defense. I think Raheem knows this.

626
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 4: Next, Yes, sir, all right, dan Quinn is back as

627
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 4: a head coach, this time it's in Washington.

628
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: Good news for him.

629
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 4: There's nothing he can do that's worse than blowing the

630
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 4: twenty eight to three lead in.

631
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl. What's your advice for dan Quinn?

632
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 2: Keep man, do not do not allow designed quarterback runs

633
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 2: to be a big part of the first two months

634
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: of your team. I understand that Jaden is great at that,

635
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: and I understand that that is going to be some

636
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: of one of Jaden's first instincts will be I'm faster

637
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: than these guys. Until you have seen for months of

638
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 2: practice that he knows how to protect himself. Tell him, man,

639
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: you are sliding, you are getting out of bounds, and

640
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: you are running as a last resort. I watched him

641
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: in college take some of the most brutal hits people

642
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 2: talk about Lamar, him and Lamar. Lamar is much thicker

643
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: previously was, but also Lamar is the best I've ever

644
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: seen at not letting people square him up. Don't let

645
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: Jaden get lit up early, even if it puts a

646
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: ceiling on your offense early. This is a long term thing.

647
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 2: And so I like Jayden's talent. He is so thin

648
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 2: and takes such big hits that until he bulks up

649
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: and learns how to avoid those hits, that would be

650
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 2: my biggest focus.

651
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: Next, we just blessed Dan Quinn with ten extra seconds.

652
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 4: Mao and Mike McDonald aren't only replacing legendary and coaches,

653
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 4: they're also they also need your help.

654
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 3: What's your advice for Girard Mayo and Mike McDonald.

655
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: Well, I guess we need sixty seconds here because it's

656
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: for two of them. For Girard Mayo, man, just try

657
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: to get through this this season. Your nobody wants to

658
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: come play for you. You just trade it away your

659
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: best defensive player and it would uh Honestly, if I

660
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: knew Gerard, what I would tell him was, man, just

661
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: make sure you have a good relationship with Craft's kid,

662
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: because it seems like he's running the show and this

663
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: is going to be a brutal season, a brutal season.

664
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: The while I didn't believe the over under for the

665
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: Vikings could be set at two and a half. The

666
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 2: Patriots it could have been. It's not. I think it's

667
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 2: four and a half. And it's not a bad thing

668
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: if Drake May doesn't play for a little bit till

669
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 2: you get your offensive line figured out. Like the Patriots are,

670
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: you know, really looking like for the second straight year

671
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: they're going to be a bottom two team in the NFL.

672
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: For Mike McDonald, it's a different story, Mike McDonald, man,

673
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: I saw you with listen. Rokwan Smith is a great player,

674
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton is a great player. The rest of those

675
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: players on the Ravens defense last year are not blue chippers,

676
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: and you turned them into one of the three best

677
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 2: defenses in football. I wonder what you can do with

678
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: that Seattle defense with Weatherspoon. It doesn't have as much

679
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't have Kyle Hamilton Roqwan Smith duo,

680
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 2: but you have Weatherspoon, you have Rik wooland so you

681
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: think your corners are taken care of. I think that

682
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: division is a little more open than other people do.

683
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are good, I think the Niners

684
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 2: are good. I don't think either one of them are great,

685
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: and so I think if Gino can get back to

686
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: the geno he was two years ago, and if you

687
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: allow say, you know what, He's gonna throw some picks,

688
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: but I'm okay with that. We have two good wide receivers,

689
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: maybe three with jsn Lockett and Metcalf, chuck it deep.

690
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 2: Take chances on offense, and trust your own coaching acumen

691
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 2: to raise the level of the defense. The Seahawks could

692
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: be a sneaky team. So that's the advice I would

693
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 2: give those guys, was that the least one.

694
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 4: Dave Canals is in for quite the challenge in Carolina,

695
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 4: say the best for last. What is your advice for

696
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 4: Dave Canalis?

697
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 2: Well, this year is about one thing and one thing only.

698
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: Can you get Bryce Young to a level where you

699
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 2: feel like you don't have to start over at quarterback again?

700
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 2: You were smart and that you spent money on interior

701
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: offensive lineman this offseason, which you have to do because

702
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 2: you have a short quarterback. He can't have pressure up

703
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: the middle. It's just what you have to do and

704
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: pour as much resources as possible into that side of

705
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: the ball. By the way, Baker's not very tall. You

706
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: got a great season out of Baker and see if

707
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, you believe Bryce can

708
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: tap back into the player he was at Alabama. I

709
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 2: am highly skeptical because of the size. But this year

710
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: is about nothing other than getting an answer about Bryce

711
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: Young by the end of the season. I think he

712
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: knows that. And also just steer clear of the owner.

713
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: Is the least contact you can have with that.

714
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 3: Guy, the better.

715
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: That's the advice I would give him.

716
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: All right, Is that it? Yeah? I hope he takes it. Yeah,

717
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: all right.

718
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 2: My coaching consultancy business is just, I mean absolutely cooking.

719
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the first couple guys I gave

720
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: pretty obvious advice too. That was perfect advice to everyone.

721
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: We answer some of your listener questions. Next, What's right?

722
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick? Right,

723
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: let's answer some listener questions Demansea.

724
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 4: Nick Wright muse. Does Lebron get a legacy spot on

725
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: Team USA? I'll to ROSSI for LA twenty eight, especially

726
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 4: if he's still a Laker.

727
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: Oh listen, if he's still in the league in four years, Yeah,

728
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 2: he'll get a spot. Yeah, I mean that I don't

729
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: and the fact that it's in LA, maybe he would

730
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: want one. I think if he let me put it

731
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: like this, if he wants one, I think he gets one.

732
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that he'll want who knows what he's

733
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: doing in four years, but yeah, I think he'd get

734
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 2: one in four years if he wants one.

735
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 4: Next corn Beer. Is the Ravens super Bowl window closed

736
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 4: if they don't win it this year?

737
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: No, listen, this is something Joe Burrow did have right

738
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: when Joe was asked a year or two ago about

739
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals super Bowl window and he was like, our

740
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: super Bowl windows my whole career, I do. If you

741
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: have a great quarterback, your super Bowl window is never

742
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 2: fully closed. It's yeah, I mean it was a great

743
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 2: quote by Joe, And it has different levels of openness,

744
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like right now, the Bills,

745
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 2: for instance, are not in a rebuild, but they're in

746
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: a retool, clean up the books, tweaking situation, so their

747
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: window is a little more closed than it was two

748
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: years ago, but it's still open the Ravens. The question

749
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 2: for the Ravens is you know, going to be at

750
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 2: some point if they keep coming close and falling short,

751
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 2: are they going to say John Harbaugh's message is growing stale?

752
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 2: I don't think they're close to that point out of

753
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: the year they had last year, but the that it

754
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 2: can just be tough for a team, even if it's

755
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: not even if the coach is great if well, yeah,

756
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: I mean Dallas, but I mean McCarthy's not been there

757
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: nearly as long as Harball. But it can just when

758
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 2: this is the only coach these guys have had with

759
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 2: this team and you keep coming short, like that could

760
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: happen to mc What I'm describing about a couple of

761
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 2: years from now, potentially happening to Harball, could happen this

762
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 2: year with McDermott. Where if the Bill's losing Round one

763
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 2: or two again this year, even if they don't think

764
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: McDermott did a bad job, they might just be like,

765
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 2: we need a new messenger, you know what I mean,

766
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 2: Like it's just the that's kind of what happened to

767
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll's very old, but that's what happened

768
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 2: to Pete Carroll last year.

769
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Niko Draganich, is Herbert under any pressure

770
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 3: this year or is the lack of weapons gonna be

771
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: gonna be the excuse now that he has Harball? What

772
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 3: needs to happen for Herbert to lose the elite status.

773
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: So listen, I don't think Herbert's an elite quarterback. I

774
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: think he's got elite talent, but he needs to put

775
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 2: together a start to finish elite season at this point

776
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 2: in his career for him to be in that top

777
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 2: top tier, well, the second tier. Top tier is mahomes

778
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: by himself. For him to be in that second tier,

779
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: he's not there. I do think he has some built

780
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: in excuse excuses as far as they have one of

781
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: the worst wide receiver rooms in the league, and you

782
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: lose Keenan, you lose Mike Williams. But I do think

783
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 2: here's where the pressure is amped up on Herbert. No

784
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: one's going to blame coaching the way they have in

785
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 2: years past with Anthony Lynn and with Brandon Staley. That's

786
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: not going to be the case. So now it will

787
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: fall on Herbert to a degree. But his talent is

788
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: so eye popping that there's going to be a lot

789
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: of people that just I mean, there are smart football

790
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: people that swear justin Herbert's better than Joe Burrow. I

791
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: disagree with them, but those people that they talk about

792
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: his ability to make all the throws, his size, his strength,

793
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: all those things arm power. I disagree with them, but

794
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: that's where the listener's talking about his quote elite status.

795
00:49:55,160 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 3: Next, Scott Frasier, what very highly rated team falls on

796
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 3: its face and what bad teams actually play well and

797
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 3: are a threat for a division or a wildcard.

798
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: So that is a great question, Scott, And that is

799
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: that exact question is going to be the premise of

800
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 2: a huge amount of our gambling show, cause it's really

801
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: asking which teams are overvalued which teams are undervalued. So

802
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm not going to answer that right now for two reasons.

803
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 2: One is I don't want to answer it in sixty

804
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: second where I'm must to spend twenty minutes on it.

805
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: And also, pardon me, I haven't done really the requisite

806
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 2: study yet to know which I fully one hundred percent

807
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: believe and I know where I'm leaning, but I haven't

808
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 2: done my full Warren Sharp preview, Football Outsiders preview all

809
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: they're not football outsiders anymore, but Aaron Schatz's preview. All

810
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: that stuff that'll dive into on vacation and when we

811
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: get back.

812
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 4: Next, Doctor Octagon win is the game Mplin show. Is

813
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 4: Demons going to be betting again. This cold streak last

814
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 4: year paid for my Christmas in vacation. Oh on the

815
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 4: bets O.

816
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Gambling Show comes back. First day, the Day

817
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: of Chiefs Ravens. Three weeks from today, the Gambling Show

818
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: comes back. So I mean, yeah, that's going to be great.

819
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,240
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to do. Doctor Arctagon.

820
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: I think maybe it's down the two teams. Yeah it was,

821
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 2: but you were too. We'll get it together, don't worry,

822
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 2: all right, last.

823
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,959
Speaker 4: Question, uhriez Nick. My friends and I were arguing about

824
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 4: this yesterday in poker. Should a straight beat a flush?

825
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 4: I know it doesn't, but should it?

826
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: No, it shouldn't. So the reason it's very very simple.

827
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: What beats one in poker is just based on what's

828
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,439
Speaker 2: more probable than the next. So in a five card

829
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: poker hand, you're guaranteed to at least have high card.

830
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 2: That's why that's the worst hand you can have. It's

831
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 2: just have high card. The next most likely thing you're

832
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 2: to have is one pair. The next most likely is

833
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: two pair, than three of a kind, then a straight,

834
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: than a flush, then a full house, than four of

835
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 2: a kind than a straight flush. So if you actually

836
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: did that the math on how likely is a straight

837
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 2: versus how likely is a flush? You are about twice

838
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 2: as likely to get a straight than you are to

839
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,919
Speaker 2: get a flush, which is why a straight doesn't beat

840
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: a flush, because they're easier to come by. So no,

841
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 2: it shouldn't. That's the very very simple explanation. It's just

842
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 2: a probabilities thing, and so the least probable is the

843
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 2: most valuable. The most probable is the least value, and

844
00:52:55,320 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 2: it is inversely. The strength of hand is inverse first

845
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: directly correlated to its probability. That's it. I hope that

846
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: was a nice little math and poker lesson at the

847
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: end of the pod. On that note, speaking of gambling,

848
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 2: guess what I will be doing one week from today. Really,

849
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 2: if I do the time zone change, it might be

850
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: one week from this very moment. Yes, I will be demanse.

851
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 2: Do you want to guess or do you want me

852
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 2: to tell you?

853
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: Playing poker in Vegas? Oh?

854
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 2: Well no, you're close, but no, I might be playing poker,

855
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 2: it might be blackjack, it might be craps. It will

856
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 2: not be in Vegas. I will be wearing a tuxedo

857
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 2: a la James Bond, and I will be gambling at

858
00:53:54,280 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 2: Casino Monte Carlo in my I have booked my dad.

859
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 2: We're staying in Monico. Is the size of Manhattan? If

860
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 2: that it's basically well yeah, no, I mean, I'm gonna

861
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 2: be in Europe the whole time. So but we are

862
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: in we're from We are at some point going from

863
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: the south of France up to Milan, and en route

864
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: you pass through a country that really shouldn't be a country.

865
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: It's this tiny place that's just like a tax haven

866
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: for the richest people in the world. That's some royal

867
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 2: family set up called Monaco, and they have the maybe

868
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: the greatest casino in the world there. You have to

869
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 2: wear black tie. I don't know what the steaks are,

870
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 2: probably higher than I'm totally comfortable gambling, but I'm doing it,

871
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 2: and so your mother and I for what, We're only

872
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 2: gonna be there one day. It's we're just passing through

873
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 2: so we can get dressed to the nines and go

874
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:08,360
