Cubs Brewers taking place right now, right Buyers 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: got it on in studio. He's watching and of course yesterday, 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: so right now, it's what top six with two outs 25 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: and the Brewers have runners at first and second. They're 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: down five to three to the Cubbies. And this is 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: a day night doubleheader. It's the makeup of last night's 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: night game on the day night doubleheader. It's a five 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: game series, which you know, I mean, it's really hard 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: for the Cubs to try and overcome this gargantuan lead 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: that the Brewers have, but becomes essentially impossible if they 32 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: don't win the next what four games of the series? 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, yeah, you kind of need to win the 34 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: next floor to have a chance. 35 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. And then of course, and then I think, super 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: interesting what happens with Dodgers tonight sweep the Padres and 37 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: then lose in the bottom of the ninth to the Rockies. 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Have two more against the Rockies before going down to 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: San Diego take on the Padres yet again. Uh, Jay, 40 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: stud what was your what was your was it Instagram? 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: Or was it a tweet about Manny striking out to 42 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: end the series at the Ravine. 43 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 3: I quoted the great Vin Scully. Vin Scully in these 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: moments would say something over and over again. 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: He would say. 46 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: That one was reduced to the basics. I'll throw as 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: hard as I can, you swing as hard as you can, 48 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: and we'll see who comes out on top. 49 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. I was listening to the game actually driving up 50 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: from San Diego, and then I flipped over because I 51 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: was going to listen to Bayer. Bayer had the Sunday off, 52 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: so it was Monsey and Carrie Rhodes. 53 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: Actually, I've been doing the mornings this summer with Harman 54 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: Well mornings for US Monty and Carrie are two to 55 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: five Pacific, and Harmon and I are nine to eleven. 56 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: But you go didn't know, Oh, didn't know. Sunday's not 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: usually my sports radio day. I was driving up, I 58 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: was like, man, I want to hear Buyer has to say. 59 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: I was like, dang, d oh. So we'll keep an 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: eye on on on Major League Baseball, the game being 61 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: played right now at h at Wrigley, but also the 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: game tonight also at Wrigley, and the game tonight in Colorado. 63 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: Got some others as well. Of note, John Middlecoff's going 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: to join us in fifteen minutes. We'll get his thoughts 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: on football. Course, he was on with Colin today in 66 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: studio for the Herd. But I thought this would be 67 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: something that you would all enjoy. You know, when you're 68 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: in business long enough, you're going to be drawn to 69 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: different people interning leadership roles. My favorite big boss I've 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: ever had, Smart Shapiro, and it wasn't because we were close. 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't clause he gave me this huge race. He 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: did give me a couple opportunities, which I will I'm 73 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: forever indebted to him for, but it was he's just 74 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: a dynamic person that is willing to take risks and 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: also when you have a conversation with him like, he's 76 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: willing to share. So that's what we did. We sat 77 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: down with him. We recorded about twenty minutes, but then 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: we'll put the entirety of it on the podcast, which 79 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: you can hear upcoming at the top of the hour. 80 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: Just download podcast our podcast. For every download podcast, we'll 81 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: see if we can throw that interview up on the 82 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: YouTube channel. By the way, that's at Doug Gottlieb Show 83 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: on YouTube. A YouTube slash at Doug Gottlieb Show on YouTube. 84 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: But here's my conversation on Zoom with Mark Shapiro, TKO 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: President and COO. Okay, so Mark, let's let's start with 86 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: UFC as a business model pre dating your agreement with Paramount. Okay, 87 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: you've been on obviously both sides of these deals. When 88 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: you looked at it and the pay per view model 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: with ESPN, how healthy a business was it for UFC? 90 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: You know, it's been cyclical. 91 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 5: I would say overall, the relationship with the ESPN just 92 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 5: extraordinary and start there. I mean, obviously, ESPN is the 93 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 5: destination for sports fans. It's appointment viewing and there's no 94 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 5: better marketing partner in sports twenty four to seven. They 95 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 5: want to get behind something, they get behind it. You 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 5: know it too well, because of course when they don't, you. 97 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: Also know that. 98 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 5: And they they did more for the UFC than any 99 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 5: partner we've ever had. And I would say the fact 100 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 5: that we are mainstream and so strong with young men 101 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 5: and the demos that we have. Of course it has 102 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 5: a lot to do with our fighting stable and Dana 103 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 5: White in the history. But ESPN took us through another level. 104 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 5: So it was great and we knew what we were walking into. 105 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 5: Doug right, this was an ESPN Plus play that they're 106 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 5: going to use ESPN and ESPN two as a barker 107 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 5: channel to watch the prelimbs, maybe even watch the early 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 5: prims prelimbs, and then. 109 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: Move you over to ESPN Plus to sign up. 110 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 5: So we when we started with them, we were in 111 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 5: three million homes and we quickly grew to twenty four million. 112 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 5: And their words, not ours. We were the anchor tenant 113 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: of ESPN Plus. 114 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 4: So it was great. 115 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: But I think over time, over the seven years, a 116 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 5: couple things happened. One is, they just kept raising price 117 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 5: and it got to a point. 118 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: Where it was just too much. And we know that 119 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 4: for a fact. 120 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 5: Because the pay per views started slipping, the total number 121 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 5: of buys and the pirrating went to insane levels. I mean, 122 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 5: and Dana, as you know, is now on the board 123 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 5: of Meta. So we've seen unbelievable numbers across Facebook and 124 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 5: our relationship with YouTube. 125 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 4: And tens of thousands of streams, and that. 126 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: Give me, give me a sense, give me some when 127 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: you say the pirating okay, because I know what you're 128 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: talking about, because I've been to parties. We're like, do 129 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: we buy this? Like, no, no, we got a we 130 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: got a fire stick. We're in there. What are the 131 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: type of numbers that would be pirated? 132 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 5: Tens of thousands of streams and how many people were 133 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 5: watching each of those streams, We don't even know. It 134 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 5: just got to be too much because it's too expensive. 135 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 5: You're paying eleven ninety nine to get ESPN plus that's 136 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 5: what you have to do monthly, and then to get 137 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 5: the pay per view you're paying eighty dollars. So it 138 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 5: almost becomes the sales prevention departments. And we discussed this 139 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 5: with ESPN and they had different data, and they just 140 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 5: didn't agree, and they just kept going. They did introduce 141 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 5: some early bird specials if you buy two weeks before 142 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: and you get five bucks off, but it was nothing 143 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 5: that was going. 144 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: To solve the crisis. 145 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 5: Now, in their defense, the UFC, while obviously we have 146 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 5: stars Amanda Nunez and John Jones and you know, justin 147 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 5: Gaetgee and a lot of folks along the way, Uswan Kamara, 148 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 5: we didn't have any more of the level of Connor 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 5: McGregor or Ron and ROUSI in the later years of 150 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 5: our seven year deal, and they would point to the 151 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 5: pipeline and so just being fair across the board. Look, 152 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 5: you got to win to become a star. We can't 153 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 5: manufacture it isn't this isn't the WWE, and so there 154 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 5: might be some truth to that. But the fighting itself, 155 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 5: the matches, the competition of the events have never been better, 156 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: never been better. And the fact that you have a 157 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: lot of Russian and Middle Eastern champions, it is what 158 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 5: it is. 159 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: You got to beat the best, and our core fans 160 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 4: get that. 161 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 5: You do want commercial stars, and I think over time 162 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 5: it's very cyclical. It just it rides different waves. When 163 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: when GSP left the UFC is, oh my god, they 164 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 5: have no other stars, and then someone else emerges. 165 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 4: So you just you gotta be patient and you got 166 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 4: to be in it for the long haul. 167 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: If you were on the other side, right, because I 168 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: like it. I like in this one too. When you 169 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: were at ESPN and had you lost Monday Night football, right, yeah, 170 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: because Sunday night when we lost Sunday Night, but you 171 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: couldn't lose Monday Night. If you were on the other side, 172 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: what would you have done to prevent you from switching 173 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: to Paramount. 174 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 5: I wouldn't let it get away. I mean, let me 175 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 5: just say, Bob Iger is the biggest sports fan of 176 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 5: any executive in the media business. I mean he started 177 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 5: at ABC Sports and he's a massive boxing fan too, 178 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 5: Like he knows the combat sports area. 179 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 4: He came to our sphere event last year, which. 180 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 5: Was a real spectacle. Look, you're launching ESPN direct to consumer. 181 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 5: I think it launches, you know, in the next couple 182 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 5: of days. Here you're charging twenty nine to ninety nine. 183 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 5: You want to see people either authenticate if they have 184 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 5: cable and satellite already, and if they don't, you want 185 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 5: them to pay twenty nine ninety nine. So you want 186 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 5: all the premier sports. The UFC fan is very, very passionate. 187 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: I mean it's it's it's the fervor. The fan avidity 188 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 5: is insane, right, And forty percent of our audience's women, 189 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 5: So you've got moms buying, and you've got obviously young men, 190 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 5: young women who watch six hour cards. I mean, this 191 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 5: is what you dream about. And there's forty three events. 192 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 5: So look, it's easy to play money. Morning Quarterback. I 193 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 5: don't know the budgets, I don't know their dollars. They 194 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 5: got a lot of money to spend. They've made big 195 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 5: investments in the NFL, the CFP, the NBA, and you 196 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 5: know what, money doesn't stretch that far and their linear 197 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 5: business is declining, so they had to make some decisions. 198 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 4: I think the WWE deal is brilliant for them. 199 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 5: The idea of WrestleMania on ESPN brilliant, and maybe they 200 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 5: just couldn't afford everything, but having UFC, which is a 201 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 5: year round sport, while you're trying to launch D two 202 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 5: C at twenty nine to ninety nine, which would be 203 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 5: well received, versus the one hundred dollars fans are paying 204 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 5: monthly now for ESPN plus to get the paper fights. 205 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 5: To me, that's something I wouldn't have passed up. But 206 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 5: I don't criticize them. They're an important partner. They're still 207 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 5: the premier destination in sports, and we're going to help 208 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 5: them build this ESPN. 209 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: D to C. The rise of UFC right from when 210 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: you were first a young producer at ESPN to now, 211 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: right like, the NFL is one hundred year bilt hey, exactly, 212 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: the NBA has been one hundred years. Major League Baseball 213 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: is over one hundred years to go from where they 214 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: were even in the early two thousands where they were 215 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: trying to get to mainstream, to now you're talking about 216 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: a premier property on the Tiffany Network. This is a 217 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: story that I don't think has ever played out as 218 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: such before in sports, is there. 219 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 4: Doug, I'll tell you this. 220 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 5: When I was running program, I got from voted to 221 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 5: the head of program, I mean thirty two years old. 222 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: In twenty ten, Dana White and the Fertida brothers came pitched, 223 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: and they pitched hard on the UFC like I wasn't 224 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 5: sure if I'd get if I said no, if I 225 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 5: might get beat. 226 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 4: Up before they left the room, right, And I didn't 227 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 4: do it. And one of the reasons I do it 228 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 4: wasn't all my decision. 229 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 5: The mouse Disney wasn't about to put that sport where 230 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 5: it was with blood on the mat on ESPN or 231 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: ABC Sports. Now, completely different story. Obviously, it is mainstream. 232 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 5: It is the rise, the evolution, the ascension, the following, 233 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 5: the fan base, the number of fighters around the globe. 234 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 5: How global it is. I mean you're talking two hundred 235 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 5: and ten countries and territories that the UFC is currently 236 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 5: broadcast in. You have six hundred plus fighters. Right, you 237 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 5: have seventy five different countries of where they hail from, 238 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 5: the fighters. You have fifty different languages that broadcast UFC fights. 239 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: I can't even believe it. I can't believe. 240 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 5: Where it has has gone. You know how it has 241 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: come that far. ESPN has been a big part of that. 242 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 5: I mean, they really supercharged it. They put turbo into this. 243 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 5: Fox was important, Spike was important, Every step of the 244 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 5: way was important. But I would tell you ESPN had 245 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 5: had more to do with than anything else. And of 246 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 5: course Dana White and his team and the way they 247 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 5: got behind it and locally and built these stars, these 248 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 5: stars that won and covered the. 249 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: Stars survive COVID too, absolutely survived COVID right and expanded 250 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: in COVID when when others had no we had no 251 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: live sports. 252 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: I tell you he was the guy. 253 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 5: He was calling Ari and I by the outward and 254 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 5: I'm not going down. 255 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 4: UFC doesn't go down.

U Urban Meyer was a 299 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: national championp head coach at Florida. Jared Meyer's a nation 300 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: champion ppaiyer coach, and ohastate or Meyer now works for 301 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: US at Fox. He weighed in on Michigan's punishment handed 302 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: down last week by the NCAA quote in December of 303 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, I had to stand in front of a 304 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: group of seniors and tell them they're not allowed to 305 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: play in a bowl or a championship game in their 306 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: final year of college football for something they had nothing 307 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: to do with. Meyers said during a tease for a 308 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday's upcoming episode of the Triple Option podcast, one of 309 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: the most difficult things I've ever done. I'm the same 310 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: group went twelve zero unable to play for the National Championship. 311 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: The recent NCAA ruling to not punish players that weren't 312 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: involved as correct. However, the ruling also proves that the 313 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: NCAA as an enforcement arm no longer exists. Okay, so 314 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: I love all parts of what Urban Meyers said, but 315 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what his like, what is he searching for? 316 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: And if it wasn't Michigan, there are tribal would would 317 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: it be worth this statement? I don't know, but yet 318 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I do think it's a better way of doing it. 319 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: You're not let's not punish the kids of today for 320 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: the sins of yesterday. By the way, stop doing this 321 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: with Michigan football and acting like it had any effect 322 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: when they won the National Championship. It was the year before. 323 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: And anybody who says otherwise is disingenuous. Disingenuous is lying, 324 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: lying And oh yeah, by the way, at some point 325 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna be honest knowing Oh how State does the 326 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: same thing. Maybe not to the ends of Connors Stallions. Fine. Fine, 327 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: When Michigan won the national championship, Okay, it was the 328 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: year after all of this, and everybody had known about 329 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: it even the year before, which would have allowed many 330 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: of those schools to change their science signals the year 331 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: before and the year of the won the last championship, 332 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: Harbor was suspended a couple of games. This this is 333 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: old information then, But we just lie, lie, lie, lie, 334 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: because we want to Ohio State football is une wrong. Look, 335 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: I know, Dani, you're an Ohio State fan. My dad 336 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: was no House State alum. He was an Ohio State fan. 337 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: Let's not act like Ohio State hasn't been a dirty 338 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: football program on some level in some form or fashion 339 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: of it and yet still been super successful. Were they 340 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: dirty to the level of Miami back in the day, 341 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: Like no, okay, but there's always a way in which 342 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: they were worse than Gray Area. That was the whole 343 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: Jim Trust thing right where they're like, oh, they're selling 344 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: their gold pants. Yeah, that was a fraction of what 345 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: they were doing to accumulate that amount of talent. I 346 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: love what the NCAA did here. Now, I don't know 347 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: if it's enough punishment to really hurt Michigan. I think 348 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars is and you get all these people 349 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: like Larry Elson's just going to write a check. Show 350 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: me when Larry Elson writes the thirty million dollar check, 351 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: and maybe I'll stand corrected. The problem is, if Larry 352 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: Elson writes the thirty million dollar check, he's not going 353 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: to write another check for the year. It is going 354 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: to hurt you. And I believe that instead of this 355 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: year's football team being hurt, it's probably this year's and 356 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: next year's lacrosse and track and field and tennis and 357 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: baseball and the things that don't matter at Michigan, the 358 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: women's basketball. They're not going to get any money, but 359 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: at least it's better than taking down a banner that 360 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: everybody saw them win. And you can't take away scholarships 361 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: now because there's roster limits, not scholarship limits. You can 362 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: still fund that from your collective. So this is probably 363 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: the best punishment the NCA has come up with in 364 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: a long time, in a long time. And it's funny, 365 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: like so many people have been on the NCA for 366 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: years for how they're punishing. Now they decide to punish 367 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: Michigan in the wallet, which I think is the smartest 368 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: way to do it, and there's still people like that. 369 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: It just shows the NSA can't win, which you just 370 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: can't Stug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trader. You 371 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: saw him all day today on with our guy Colin 372 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: cowherd Uh. He's a worldly dude. He's the one and 373 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: only John Minocoff and he joins us now on the 374 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Trader. He's hosted three 375 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: O podcast and let's start with the Indianapolis Colts, Danny Dimes, 376 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: it's the starting job, little cough. What's your reaction? 377 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I saw this coming when they signed him. Uh, 378 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 7: you know, you've paid fifteen million dollars for a quarterback 379 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 7: who is much, in theory, a lot more stable than 380 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 7: than the project in which they drafted. Let's face it, 381 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 7: they took a swing for the fences, and I'm all 382 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 7: for doing that, but most times you take swings to 383 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 7: try to hit a Grand Slam, you usually strike out. 384 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 7: And I think Josh Allen really kind of changed the course. 385 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 7: Is why Trey Lance was drafted high. This is why 386 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 7: they took Anthony Richson, Josh Allen. Guys like that are outliers, 387 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 7: and most guys turn out like Anthony Richson or Trey 388 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 7: Lance and they have physical gifts and they can't play 389 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 7: quarterback and listen, I'm not a huge Daniel Jones guy. 390 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 7: I think if you are putting percentage chances on it, 391 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 7: maybe less than twenty five percent chance that he kind of, 392 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 7: you know, turns into like Alex Smith Harbaugh, Andy Reid 393 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 7: version resurrects his career and saves the Colts. But I 394 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 7: would say a seventy five plus percent chance that he's 395 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 7: just averaged a below and everyone gets fired. In Indianapolis, Jill. 396 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: Black guy named starting quarterback of the Browns. That's not 397 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: a surprise. I know you watched the Browns play over 398 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: the weekend. What you think of Dylan Gabriel, Yeah, I mean. 399 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 7: I think he just kind of looked like Dylan Gabriel. 400 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 7: I mean, I know he threw the one pick six, 401 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 7: But for the most part, I bet Stefanski and those 402 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 7: guys liked a lot what they saw people. And you know, 403 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 7: your coach, when you recruit or draft a guy, they 404 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 7: mean something to you. And at the end of the 405 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 7: day Dylan Gabriel was drafted when they could have drafted Shador. 406 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 7: So the Browns GM and the head coach didn't they 407 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 7: tell you who they liked more so like whenever the 408 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 7: depth chart, and I guess they can kind of fudge 409 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 7: it because you don't really have to say if they're 410 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 7: not the backup. But like Dylan Gabriel's ahead of Shador Sanders, 411 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 7: I don't see how anyone wouldn't see that based on 412 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 7: them telling you when they drafted him in the third round. 413 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: Okay, so what would you if you could only keep one, 414 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: you would keep Dylan Gabriel. 415 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 7: No, I mean I like Shador Sanders more as as 416 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 7: a prospect. As a player, I didn't even think I 417 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 7: would never have drafted Dylan Gabriel one of those like 418 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 7: excellent college players. I think some people in the league 419 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 7: didn't think you were a lot to be drafted. But 420 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 7: you know, I don't know so fans get Andrew Berry. Honestly, 421 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 7: I felt like they just drafted him. They didn't even 422 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 7: want a quarterback like they were cool with like Flaco 423 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 7: Kenny Picket. It already made. 424 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: They just they just want it so that nobody said 425 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: they had to draft, you Door Sanders, and then the 426 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: agent and then the owner came in the fifth rounds like, hey, guys, 427 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders, like all time back, all. 428 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 7: Time backfire because now you can't cut your door because 429 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 7: there'd be like a cultural uprising. So you got to 430 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 7: keep four quarterbacks. Now you could argue they're gonna be bad, 431 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 7: who really cares? But that's not You don't really want 432 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 7: to operate your team like that. So now you could argue, 433 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 7: why is Kenny Pickett on scholarship? He's like writing, you know, 434 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 7: his first round draft status from years ago. It's like, oh, yeah, 435 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 7: we hired this guy from Golden Facts. Well it turns 436 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 7: out his dad was the CEO. Wasn't that you know, impressive, 437 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 7: no difference. This guy went in the first round. Well 438 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 7: awful quarterback draft that year and probably never should have 439 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 7: been a first rounder. So it's like he's more like 440 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 7: a fourth fifth rounder. But somehow that guy just keeps surviving. 441 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: He definitely does. This is the Gottlib Show here on 442 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Matt Stafford back at practice. Is your 443 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: concern alleviated now that he's throwing? 444 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: Yeah? 445 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 7: I thought I thought it was a weird situation. And 446 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 7: then McVeigh got did you see the clip with it yesterday? 447 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 7: Got kind of edgy, like, well, Sean, I mean, this 448 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 7: is kind of is a big story, but I get it. 449 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 7: He's probably tired of talking about it, even though they 450 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 7: kind of created it by saying he was going to 451 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 7: practice over the weekend. Now he's back to back days. 452 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 7: You know, like there are a lot of injuries. They're 453 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 7: like you're recovered from a broken arm or you know, 454 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 7: even a rolled ankle, like you're pretty clear, like okay, 455 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 7: I'm good to go back. I mean, think about what 456 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 7: we see, Like Steve Kerr couldn't coach with a bad 457 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 7: back because you never knew what it was going to 458 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 7: come back. Tiger Woods couldn't play golf, so play an 459 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 7: NFL quarterback. It's definitely just something in the back of 460 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 7: everyone's mind that I can't just view it as like, oh, 461 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 7: he's just created disc the effort. He's just good to 462 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 7: go now. No one is toughness as elite, but that 463 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 7: is something that you could be maybe seal level tough 464 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 7: that I don't think you could if it if it 465 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 7: does crop back up, that's not really something you can 466 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 7: operate with it, is it No, I don't think so, especially. 467 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: At his age, you know, especially at his age, and 468 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: and this is not it didn't just pop back up. 469 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: Remember like two years ago, there was talk of him 470 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: retiring because of that back and those and. 471 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 7: Those years he played in Detroit. You know, he's thirty six, 472 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 7: thirty seven years old. Yeah, he'sty years off. Thirty seven 473 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 7: years old. 474 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Bad teams tick years off your life. And 475 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: even though he's playing indoors. Now here's here's a question. Okay, 476 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know if everybody will understand this line 477 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: of questioning, but I've talked to some football people and 478 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: you are one of them. So let's let's have at it. 479 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 6: You know. 480 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: One of the things that people talk about with uh 481 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: at the end of Ben Roethlisberger. You know, for example, 482 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: Ben Rosberger used to hold the ball so long, take 483 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: so many hits, and still make up a great quarterback. 484 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: But at the end he didn't want to get hurt. 485 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady did not that last year. He did not 486 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: want to get hit. He got rid of that ball 487 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: really really quickly. 488 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 7: You know. 489 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: And once you get to that place where you're not retired, 490 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: but you know retirement is coming, right, I just that's 491 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: my fear for Rogers, that's my fear for Stafford is 492 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: they're going to be a shell of themselves, not just 493 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: because their age, but because they're so cognizant of getting hit. 494 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: They'll get rid of the ball a half second sooner 495 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: than they ever would previously. 496 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 7: I've never played the NFL quarterback, but I would imagine 497 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 7: those hits hurt a little more the older you get. 498 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: Oh oh, can't you wake it up the next day? 499 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, so that that hit. You remember Andrew luck when 500 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 7: he first came in the league, it was like he 501 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 7: was fearless. And then eventually and he got through late twenties, 502 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 7: his body didn't work. Philip Rivers was like that now 503 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 7: because of his arm strength, he kind of had to 504 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 7: be that way. 505 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 6: You know. 506 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 7: Matt Stafford could always he could truly wait till the 507 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 7: last second because he could zip it in there. And 508 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 7: I just you know, his kids are getting older, He's 509 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 7: got a big family. I did think he started kind 510 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 7: of looking at the world a little bit differently. It's 511 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 7: just no different than anyone in any walk of life. 512 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 7: You're probably a little less reckless the older you get. Financially, personally, 513 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 7: people hang around. No different quarterback. I mean Brady was 514 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 7: a great example. I mean, no one. His toughness was 515 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 7: pretty elite most of his career, and that last year 516 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 7: in Tampa he's like, I am not getting sacked Rogers 517 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 7: last year. How eye opening was that? I mean he 518 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 7: had so many moments where he's like, Yay, I'm missed 519 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 7: not doing this, and that'll be That's been a defining 520 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 7: attribute to Stafford. I mean, he's kind of been different 521 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 7: because he didn't win for so long, but his game 522 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 7: was very Farvian, like the good farm also the bad farm, 523 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 7: but then the toughness aspect, and if his body doesn't 524 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 7: cooperate or he starts tucking guessing it, that kind of 525 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 7: changes them as a player a little bit. 526 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: Still leave here on Fox Sports Radio, that's the voice 527 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: of the one and only John Middlecough Three and Out 528 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: is in fact the podcast. Treikman's like, Hey, I don't 529 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys cann slow anybody down without Micah Parsons. 530 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: But I mean I don't know if they can slow 531 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: anybody down with Michah Parsons. This thing gets done this week, 532 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: doesn't It isn't this the time? 533 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean I'm kind of coming to grips with 534 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 7: this might be a weird season for Dallas. This might 535 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 7: go you know, the parallels with Jerry and Al Davis. 536 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 7: This is these next couple of years. You know, you 537 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 7: got Brian Schottenheimer, who This situation for a guy that 538 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 7: the first time head coach is tough for a first 539 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 7: time head coach that most people never thought it was 540 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 7: going to be a head coach. I mean, I just 541 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 7: think this thing could get really chaotic. I mean it 542 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 7: kind of speaks to McCarthy. Last year, Dak got heard 543 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 7: and they were still pretty respectable, right, and I think 544 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 7: they're at a position now where they're an injury away. 545 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 7: I mean, MICHAEH. Parsons. How many guys have we seen 546 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 7: in recent memory that have held out at wide receiver 547 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 7: at defensive line that have low starts to their seasons 548 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 7: because when everyone else's practicing, you see him there in 549 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 7: shorts and a T shirt. Now, granted, I'm sure he's 550 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 7: working out on the side, but that's not the same. 551 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 7: So I think this cowboy situation, like, I think there's 552 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 7: a world where they finished last in the division. 553 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: Last in the division? Huh? Are the Giants the Giants? 554 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 7: I think the Giants defensive line is going to be awesome. 555 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 7: I think, you know, they definitely have some pieces on offense. 556 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 7: I'm not buying into the Jackson Dart hype just yet 557 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 7: the same way you want. Like Brian day Ball won 558 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 7: nine games a couple of years ago with not that 559 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 7: much talent. Like he's a legitimate Like there's not a 560 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 7: GM in the league that would choose Shottenhammer over dayble Hell, Jerry, 561 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 7: I mean, he's just a better coach. So I just 562 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 7: there is a scenario where the Dallas thing and this 563 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 7: happened with the Raiders. You start putting in guys that 564 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 7: have no business being ahead coach. Football is weird because 565 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 7: you get injuries. You know, the ball shaped twenty, so 566 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 7: you get a weird bounce in the game, you end 567 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 7: up losing. I mean, what happens on opening night if 568 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 7: they just go into Philly and get you know what 569 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 7: this cold cock and just they're just like, what did 570 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 7: they just lose forty to seven? And that back can 571 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 7: just spiral fast on them. 572 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and if he hasn't practice, he's not gonna be 573 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: ready to play or can't play at full amount of snaps. 574 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: You don't have me, You can't pressure the pass you 575 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: can't press the passer. There's not much you can do 576 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: there defensively in the NFL. He's John Middlcoff.

Ar 674 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 2: was great. 675 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 3: He knows that he still needs to develop and learn, 676 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 3: and he knows that he's one play away. 677 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 2: One play away from being back in there for the 678 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: Adanapolis Colts. 679 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: So again, every guy here, the challenge to being the 680 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: backup is all you got to do is get the 681 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: starter ready.
