1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: The Around the League podcast Openly Fears Papa John. Welcome 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: back to another addition, the Rattle Leak Podcast. My name 3 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: is Dan Hansen's name, joined by room filled with some heroes, 4 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: Chris Westling and Greg Rosebalt. What up, boys? Hey Dan? 5 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: How about that intro? You're happy with that one? No 6 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: one needs to know that. It took me seven times 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: today to get that intro correct. You're like unholy amalgam 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: of Ricky and Keel, Steve Blast and Macky Sasser. It 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: got real. Chuck Knoblock, I think you're feeling the heat 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: from my intro the other day. I think so. I 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: think the pressure was on Greg stepped in on Friday 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: that I felt like not so much Chuck knob Block. 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: I felt like Keith Olberman's mom who got hit in 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: the face with a Chuck knob Block throw one day 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: behind the behind first Space. Yes, true story, Alberman's mom 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: on purpose. No is she you know, threw a ball 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: over Tino Martinez's head by about seven ft, hit her 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: right in the face. Keith Oldman's mom Um, big day today, 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: Big day. It is when West's Toaster day. And I 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: don't know if it was a little bit of Games 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: and Ship from the Boss Greg Rosenthal. But West wasn't 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: even aware the podcast was starting. Was downstairs while we 23 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: were up in the studio. West kind of got caught 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: off guard. We had a call Um and say, hey, West, 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: we're about to start the show. Greg was that on purpose, 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: let's start right there. I'm not confirming that, but I 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: don't mind that it might have him a little unsettled 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: and suddenly has to run. And you know it the 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: bizarre morning for me? Why is that? Well, I'm on 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: another writer's Oh right. Jeff Perlman, the writer of several books, 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: including one of my favorites, The Bad Guys One about 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: the Mets, has a new book out about the Lakers. Wes. 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: You offered some constructive criticism that maybe Jeff Perlman thought 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: came from a weird place or maybe a snyde place, 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: and then he went after in a long blog post 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: done his personal website. It was. It was a peculiar exchange. 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: I complimented his book to all of my followers on Twitter. 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: I said I loved it, um advised people to get it, 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: told people I couldn't put the book down. But I 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: just told Jeff, you know, I love showtime. But but 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: I'll buy you six, you know, six high octaen beers 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: if you never again start a sentence with y comma, 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, which is an anachronistic kind of thing that 44 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: your grandpa might have said in nineteen seven. Why Charlie, 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: he's a nice guy, you know. Yeah, And Jeff Perlman 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: took took exception to that, and did you guys smooth 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: it out? Because he seemed pretty upset on his blog. 48 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: I uh, I tweeted him back after I read his 49 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: blog piece this morning, told him I thought it was 50 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: fair that I had no problem with anything he wrote, 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: but he I didn't hear back from him. I understand 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: where he's coming from. I I was kind of joking 53 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: around when I sent it to him. I didn't think 54 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: he would take it as an insult, but um, he did, 55 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: And I understand where he's coming Nobody wants to hear 56 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: from another writer that they're right. But it annoys me 57 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: that sports writers in general are the most thin skinned 58 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: group of individuals on the planet, and yet we make 59 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: a living out of critiquing and talking about other people 60 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: doing their jobs. Fair point. This is interesting, though, that 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: this is what's in West's headspace right now he has 62 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: this issue with a fellow writer in the medium. I 63 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: think it'd be more accurate to say he is the 64 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: issue with me gold stander behind the glass. So we 65 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: have that as a subplot with when West's toaster coming 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: up later. Uh. In today's show, gold Standard very nervous. 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: Obviously he was in charge of finding contestants, and now 68 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: the moment of truth has arrived after his let's be honest, 69 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: let's be honest about this, your failure, your first time, 70 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: let's not talk about it doubled up on Deodoran today. 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: All right, So that is that will be in the 72 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: back end of the show. But we promised that the 73 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: front end of the show and even the middle section 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: us will be well worth listening to. Today we're going 75 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: to uh dip into the mail bag, the A t 76 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: L accounts mail bag, um, and we will also uh 77 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: then play the toaster game. But before that, why don't 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: we do some news, gold Standard, we start with the 79 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson, who continues to be now the biggest story 80 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: in free agency. He is by far the best player 81 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: currently unemployed. He has that Pat Sims has signed. I 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: think Pat Sims off the market obviously come be. Jeff 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: Cumberland came off the market long ago now, so the 84 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson is right at the top. Now. He is 85 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: in Washington Monday, meeting with the Redskins. Uh, the Raiders 86 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: are said to be interested. It's believe the Bills could 87 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: be a player in this. Gentlemen, where are we right 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: right now with this situation? How do you see this 89 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: playing out? I think the Redskins have to be considered 90 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: the favorite because he's in their building right now and 91 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: they're the only team that's really taking a tangible step 92 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: towards recruiting him. Well, we know the Raiders are very 93 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: interested in him, and it sounds like those are the 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: two teams that are most likely to get him. And 95 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: now there's these reports mystery teams are out there. You 96 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: know what, you know what the mystery teams are. They're 97 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: an agent, you know, whispering trying to get other teams 98 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: in the mix. I don't put too much stock into 99 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: the mystery teams. I think the real question is which 100 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: of these teams is gonna pay the Sean Jackson like 101 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: a true number one receiver like the Eagles used to. 102 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: And to me, there they both would Yeah, I think 103 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: if he gets out of Redskins headquarters without a contract, 104 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: that makes the Raiders the favorite. That's fair because the 105 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: Bills have said, well, there's a report from the Buffalo 106 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: News that the Bills are interested, but they're unwilling to 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: get into a bidding war. Why not what the Bills 108 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: are franchise? That really to me, and he's a shot 109 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: of adrenaline, this would be Obviously there would be some 110 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: risk involved with Jackson. The ends on who you talk 111 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: to how much of a risk the guy actually would be. 112 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: But to me, the Redskins make a lot of sense. 113 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: You could take him from a division rival, you add 114 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: another weapon for r G three the Raiders. Obviously, that 115 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. A team that is still 116 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: starved for star power, even after they're spending the Bills 117 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: the mirror the team that maybe I feel like they 118 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: need to look in the mirror, Doug Whaley, Doug Marone, 119 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: look in the mirror and say we need to do 120 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: something to put ourselves on the map and maybe start 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: building towards something. Again, I would love to see the 122 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: Bills make a hard push. It would add to their 123 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: track team like Wide Receiver Group, But I don't know 124 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: if they really need another vertical guy. Not that they 125 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't benefit from having the Sean Jackson on their team, 126 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: but they're building up that offense slowly. I don't know 127 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: if he's really that great a fit there. How come 128 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers on't in the mix? I don't think 129 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: they have enough money. Gettleman wants to get right against 130 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: the salary cap this year. He compared it to a 131 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: credit card situation where the previous regime racked up all 132 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: this credit card debt and he has to get back to, 133 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, to solid ground before you can make any moves. Well, 134 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: I like the Redskins getting the Shawan in the building first, 135 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: and they don't really have the cap room. But if 136 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: they signed Jackson to the money he wants, they'll probably 137 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: give him a signing bonus and they'll start pushing all 138 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: that money in the pain into the future. And it's 139 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: back to the Redskins being the Redskins. They pretend like 140 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: they learn anything and let's let's get back into it. 141 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: What could possibly go Wrongig did not come out of 142 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: the chair there, but it was close. Did you know 143 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: that the Raiders Raiders fans basically hijacked Twitter on Saturday 144 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: with a djas to Oakland hashtag really yeah. Bryce Gustafson, 145 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: one of our social media gurus down in the newsroom. 146 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: He and I were working side by side, and he 147 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: was just he was a guest at how the Raiders 148 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: were trending. Djacks to Oakland was trending for over twenty 149 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: four hours straight as the number one topic on Twitter. 150 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: Wo I made some joke like the Raiders fans, you can, 151 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, say positive things or negative things, but you 152 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: can definitely say they travel in bunches. You say one 153 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: crack some stupid joke on Twitter, and suddenly you get 154 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: every raidar handle in the world just killing you for 155 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: about a day or two straight. I've blocked at least 156 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: forty of them last week. I have Scar on my 157 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: side the Raiders number one family, so I feel like 158 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: that's put me in the good graces of the organization. 159 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to be critical of them right now. 160 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: That's a good move on your It's weird to me 161 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: that there's so many different ways to spell Raider for Life. 162 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: I swear there's fifty different people have responded to me 163 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: with different like Radars for life and just you gotta 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: um one team I don't see in our rundown. We 165 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: have what would you call this Greg This would be 166 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: kind of our running tab of what's going on. It's 167 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: the Chris Westling tracker of Deshaun Jacks. Yeah, well metrics 168 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: gold for Chris Westling. I don't see the Cleveland Browns 169 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: on here, which would be a first this offseason for 170 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: a player not to be tied to the Browns on 171 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: some level and be described as the Browns are also 172 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: checking in on the situation and are lurking not here. 173 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: I think they already have one controversial wide receiver they 174 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: probably don't want another, especially with a first year head coach. Yeah, 175 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: maybe they're one of the mystery teams. And it looks 176 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: like it looks like my Jets are not going to 177 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: be in the mix. The Glacier John Zick, It doesn't 178 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: sound like, according to Rich the media ESPN, that the 179 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Glacier is interested in bringing in another potential problem child. 180 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: Everybody had them right away on Friday as a team 181 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: that was interested, and then Miniche actually reported Miniche made 182 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: of the New York Daily News reported that John Edzick 183 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: was not among the general managers who contacted DeShawn Jackson's camp. Well, yeah, 184 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: Ezack is very interested in Jackson, and he's gonna get 185 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: around the call and him in a couple of weeks 186 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: and see what the situation seen. He's gonna give him 187 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: a call. He's gonna say, hey, Deshan, remember me. No One, 188 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: by the way, it took the Redskins. We played a 189 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: game of go get my sandwich. Yeah, I heard that 190 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: and enjoyed it. Yeah, and uh, no one picked the Redskins. 191 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: No one picked the Bills. And so my pick of 192 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: the Raiders right now is looking pretty slid that I 193 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: could have some sandwiches coming my way. I think the 194 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: forty Niners might be one of those mystery teams. All right, 195 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: I'll you take them. I'll take there. We shall see. 196 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Jets, Chris Johnson, the Tennessee Titans running 197 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: back who's still a member of that team, but that 198 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be for too much longer. The Jets 199 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: are said to have some interest in the running and 200 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: in the running back, according to NFL media insider Ian Rappaport. 201 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: Of course, the Jets have Chris Ivory, who was a 202 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: nice player for them last year, but he's also been 203 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: injury plague during his career. But Chris Johnson next to 204 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, I gotta like that. Chris Westling all Chris 205 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: is what did the Jets need on offense? Number one? 206 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: I would say speed, right, playmaking, the build. You could 207 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: say Chris Johnson has that as much as any running 208 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: back they can get on the market. So that seems 209 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: like the best fit to me is the Jets, even 210 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: more than Tommy Bohannon, Tommy bow the fullback Vick fan 211 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: of Tommy bout what up? Mike Goodson? Let's up to Ah, 212 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: He's still on the roster despite lots of problems. Isn't 213 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: he coming off in a c L tear and in 214 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: legal issues and Pali still on the roster. I think 215 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: I think he's okay. They That's not a bad situation 216 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: for Chris Johnson. That's the sort of situation that I 217 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: see him fitting best into where he's just one of 218 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: the guys that's going to get a hundred and fifty carries. 219 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: Don't put it all on him and maybe it'll work out. 220 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't. He can't get a job somewhere where that 221 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: he can get more of a commitment from the team. 222 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: I think he might from who name it. Didn't you 223 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: do the landing spots I did, and they're dropping like flies. 224 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: The Falcon said they weren't interested after Jim Wyatt of 225 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: the Tennessee and who had covered Chris Johnson for the 226 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: past six years, listed the Falcons as his favorite to 227 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: sign him. But that's not gonna happen Cowboys. He wouldn't 228 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: be the feature back there. I kind of like to 229 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: see him in Denver, m but even then he's gonna 230 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: be splitting carries. I don't think there's a team out 231 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: there that's this gonna hand it over to Chris Johnson, 232 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: which is gonna be a humbling, annoying moment for him 233 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: because I still think he's at the point where he 234 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: believes he's gonna get paid big money. The only running 235 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: back in the NFL to rush for a thousand yards 236 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: and each of the last six seasons and hasn't missed 237 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: a game in five years. Sneaky durability Chris Johnson at 238 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: the you have to he's he is the most durable 239 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: running back in the league by far in terms of 240 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: consecutive starts. Some news out of Cincinnati, Andy Dalton was 241 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: on Serious x M NFL Radio on Monday said that 242 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: the Bengals and the court of the Bengals and the quarterback. 243 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: Have you still say Bengals, Well, you know what, I 244 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: keep it real. It's all I can ever do. The 245 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: two sides, the quarterback and the team are in contract talks. 246 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: This is the quote from Andy Dalton. I want you 247 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: to picture some like really heavy grinding Christian rock behind 248 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: me as I say this. There have been talks about it. 249 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: There have been a couple of proposals sent over and 250 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: different things. We're working. Hopefully we can that's something done. 251 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm not done. I'm not too worried about it. I 252 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: know in the right timing, everything is going to happen. Obviously, 253 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: everyone would like to get something done sooner rather than later. 254 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton believes he will be a Bengal for life. 255 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: I think the most interesting thing about this situation is 256 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: that Mike Brown clearly sees it as a dilemma. He 257 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: used that word dilemma. He actually talked about whether he 258 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: wanted to extend Dalton, lose his competitive advantage of only 259 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: pain a million or two a year for a quarterback, 260 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: and whether he might just draft a quarterback instead. He 261 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: actually talked about that. Then Marvel Lewis came out a 262 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: day later and said, Yeah, we gotta get this guy 263 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: taken care of. We need to get him extended, We 264 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: need to build around him, we need to surround him 265 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: with talent. Just a bit of a schism there. You're saying, 266 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: aren't the only two executives not seen night? I that's 267 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: sounds like the case to me, and from what I 268 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: know about the Bengals organization, Mike Brown usually gets his 269 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: way and and it doesn't sound that bad of an idea. 270 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: Mike Brown's idea sounds like a great idea. What's what's 271 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: the hurry? Right? If Andy Dalton needs to just run 272 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: and take that proposal, this is one of those proposals. 273 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: Don't mess around negotiating. Take it now before you have 274 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: a terrible two thousand and fourteen season and no one's 275 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: offering you anything. I don't semi related topic, how what 276 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: percentage of the league would you put um? The GM 277 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: and the coach actively dislike each other. We wouldn't know 278 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: about it, but actively, yeah, like not passive, aggressively, but 279 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: just but on terms because you think it's kind of 280 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: a volatile relationship. Uh, GM and coach one out of 281 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: five teams. I would say even lower than that, five 282 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: teams total. Greg, if you would have come to the 283 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: draft day premier, you would have seen the heat between 284 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: Dennis Leary and Kevin Costner. It's it's real, ste I 285 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: just figure, if it's really that bad, then someone's gonna 286 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: get fired sooner than later, unless unless you're winning a 287 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: ton like in San Francisco. Some good logic right there. Um, 288 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: what's the word vermistitude? Varius militude, various militude, various militude. Great, great, 289 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: great part of draft day is when Dennis Leary rolls 290 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: into Costner's office and I believe, lights a playbook or 291 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: draft studies on fire and drops it on his desk. 292 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Jenn Garner, the cap expert, rolls in spoiler alert, fire 293 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: extinguisher extinguishes the blaze. I like, how you just demonstrated 294 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: that fire extinguisher move with your thumbs and well verslude. 295 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: Why did you need? Oh? Because it's realistic, nicely played. 296 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: So alright, gentlemen, before we get to the toaster, why 297 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: don't we up into the mail bag? Uh, the gold 298 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: center behind the glass. I don't know if there's some 299 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: type of sound effect you can come up with for 300 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: someone going to the post office, or this is maybe 301 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: something to work on for the future. Yeah, I have 302 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: some experience in this department. What would be a good 303 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: what would be a good drop a sound drop for 304 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: this segment? The guy from Mr Rogers speedy Delivery and 305 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: he remember him, Oh that's showing my age. No, no, 306 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: I watched that as a child as well, but I 307 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: don't remember. Didn't he announced speedy delivery as he was 308 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: coming Speedy delivery. Yeah, yeah, that's not bad. This is 309 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: where the generation gap breaks down because I did watch Mr. Rogers, 310 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: but it's sort of a Mr. Rodgers versus Blues Clues things. 311 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this Blues Clues you speak 312 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: about it. But so that's a task FOREO Gold Center. 313 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: Although everything's on hold right now until we find out 314 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: how it goes with your contestants for win Lesson. You're sweating. 315 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: I can see that the glass right now. You're nervous. 316 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: When I was in the post office, the sound effects 317 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: was usually a shotgun going off in the news nineties 318 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: postal service joke, I love it. How long were you 319 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: in the postal service? Two years? I quit right before 320 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: I was due to get my own route. M that's tough. 321 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: That's like, uh, I don't know what that's like. Quitting 322 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: right before you get promoted offensive coordinator, and yet you 323 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: just passed on all the all that luxury. I have 324 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: been doing the ass end off of everybody's route in 325 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: the in the projects, and I couldn't take it anymore. 326 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: And then I saw how miserable everybody there who was 327 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: a lifer. Once you get kids, you're stuck because the 328 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: benefits are so great. To pay is pretty good. You've 329 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: got security, your family rely on magazines. I feel like 330 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: you just take people's bath man. I was there a 331 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: few days. I was stacked two or three ft high 332 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: with magazines in one arm. It was it was miserable. 333 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: I have a respect for postal workers, but I will 334 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: say that I have a uncle that I'm very close 335 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: with that has what that that I've just qualified, God 336 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: God um that that I'm very close with has worked 337 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: at the post office since about nine two. And there 338 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: was a running joke within my family of my father 339 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: asking my uncle John, how's everything going to the post office? 340 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: And then my uncle John goes to my dad, Keith, 341 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: I told you, I never asked me that that sums 342 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: up my two years. Yeah, just imagine staying in their 343 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: thirty years. I just like the preface. I have all 344 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: the respect of the world for people that work at 345 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: the postal Service because you know immediately coming after that, 346 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: it's not an easy job. Or maybe it is west, 347 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of politics behind the scenes. I've 348 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: had conversations with you about this. It was the most 349 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: stressful job I've ever had, and um, which is odd 350 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: because it's also of every job I've ever had, the 351 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: job where I used my brain the least interesting. Well, 352 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: we might have to have once it really bogs down 353 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: in terms of news content, we might have to have 354 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: a whole U S Postal Service podcast with you, or 355 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: really dig in on why there are some people that 356 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: end up going crazy. I'm sure Newman will be tuned 357 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: into that one. I love it more nineties jokes about 358 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: the post office. All right, stick into the mail bag. 359 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: We'll start here. I've actually touched on this, but I'll 360 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: throw it out there again. Now that's a couple of 361 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: weeks later. This is from Martin wired. Uh. Are there 362 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: any early contenders slash favorites for the official two thou 363 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: A T. L. Team, or will you stick with the Panthers. 364 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: We are not sticking with the Panthers. Theathers are out. 365 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: They have raised our ire. Yes, well, you never know 366 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: what if? What if they just caught our fancy again 367 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: back in August. I'm not ruling anything. I want to 368 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: enter August in early September with an open mind to anything. 369 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: But I think that's a good way to look at it. 370 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: The odds on the Panthers repeating it seems very small. 371 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever chosen my team for the 372 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: year until after the draft. When did we choose the Panthers? 373 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: I felt like that wasn't until September October. Maybe should 374 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: we add to the level of difficulty and try to 375 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: pin a team down and get behind them? Start right now? No, 376 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: but you know, by the end of August, I want 377 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: to watch him. A couple of times I thought we 378 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: were gonna watch him, and you get a little feel 379 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: you see, who might catch your fancy. I feel like 380 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: it should be an organic process, not something pressured by 381 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: our listeners. You know, why are you Jeff a shot? 382 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm just explaining that I think it works better when 383 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: it's organic. Well, I think it's fair to say that 384 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: it's more likely to be a team that isn't one 385 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: of the five favorites to win the Super Bowl. That's 386 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: probably fair. Yeah, we're not gonna hop on a favorite, right, 387 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: So maybe it's a team, a young, up and coming team, 388 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't get a lot of attention. I 389 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: don't know, you know, like could be Cardinals, could be 390 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: one that maybe they should have been the team last 391 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: year if it wasn't for Carson Palmer. I might already 392 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: have them locked in. The Chargers were sort of my 393 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: backup team of the year last year. Maybe that's over 394 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: with Carson Palmer pulls the Philip Rivers this year. Mm hmm. 395 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: We know how much you loved Philip Rivers last year. Wait, 396 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: you're say I don't think that's I think Carson Palmer 397 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: did that last year. And now is the year where 398 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer turns back into Carson Balmer. He was second 399 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL and interceptions last year. He did alright. 400 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: How about the could would it be allowed to choose 401 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: one of our favorite teams as the team could? Could 402 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: the Browns are I mean they could as a group, 403 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: we choose the Browns of the Lions Let's say I 404 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: could see the Lions. I'm not going to root for 405 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: the Browns. The Browns are poison, Let's face it, you know, 406 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: until they prove otherwise. Well, if they drafted Johnny Football, 407 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: that would change my john Football. It depends where he 408 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: goes because he what if he goes to the Vikings. 409 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it is easy to eliminate some teams. It's 410 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: like the NFC East see you later. We're not jumping 411 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: on any of those teams. Uh, Packers have been too good, 412 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: you know. It could be like a team like the 413 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: Buck in the years they've been in the back of 414 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: my mind. Yeahs team Potentially, it could be a team 415 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: that has almost no personality to at this point, like 416 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: Texans or Titans, where it's just all of a sudden 417 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: you're starting to think they're frisky, you know what I 418 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: mean when Yeah, alright, So basically the answer to the question, 419 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: Martin is it's wide open, and it's it's an ever 420 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: evolving question in here where we're thinking about it, but 421 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: we won't have a decision for several months, most likely 422 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: moving on. Mark Thompson at Marcus four Marcus with a 423 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: K by the way, unusual spelling a t L mail bag, 424 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: even though the gold stander, Oh this is for you, Zack, 425 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: the gold standard behind the glass, even though the gold 426 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: Standards isn't a NFL fan? What team does he support? 427 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: I have no idea the answer to this. That hurts 428 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: because I know I've revealed that I'm a I'm a 429 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 1: Packers buff people on the show. I had no idea 430 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: that you were chanted by Dorsey Levins about the Packers 431 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: heat got on the show. Yeah, well he actually was 432 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: trash talking me a little bit. I remember at one 433 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: point was I at this show? So the team? So 434 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: in the early two thousands or so you plugged in 435 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: it was actually the Super Bowl year it was. Yeah, 436 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with liking Dorsey Levin's that's a good pick 437 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: and horse the whole gang. And do you do you 438 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: follow the team closely? Would you say? Not that closely? 439 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean I've I've followed the NFL much more recently, um, 440 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: and I kind of just I think I'm becoming more 441 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: of that that dreaded t D like figure who are 442 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: black tie for those who listened to the podcasts, who 443 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: picks players instead of teams because the league. I'm so 444 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: excited about that. Yeah, speaking of listening sitting in as 445 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: a producer three times a week. Let's talk about percentages again. 446 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: How a percentage raise risen in terms of knowing the 447 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: NFL for you since doing this podcast, I think highly, 448 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: But there's probably like true like bedrock knowledge gaps that 449 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: I have, Like I know, like names like Greg Hardy, 450 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And I can fake my 451 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: way through that kind of a conversation. But like someone 452 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: one day is going to throw out a very obvious 453 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: thing about football that I don't pick up on. Yeah, 454 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Can you tell us what a 455 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: three technique tackle is? Yeah? Um, let me try really, So, 456 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: like if you have a if you have a three 457 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: or four defense, let me start there. That could be wrong, 458 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: but let me get through that. So you have three 459 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: guys on the line, it's the tackle who plays between 460 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: like he's lining up against four guys. It's a tackle 461 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: between the two interior offensive line. Is that wrong? You're 462 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: you're sniffing around. The three technique usually plays in a 463 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: four three defense, and it depends which gap you're penetrating 464 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. May now trying, guys, I gotta 465 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: read more books down, you know, Wes. This isn't your 466 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: day to be asking questions, you know, Oh sorry, they're 467 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: coming to you all right. Finally, this is a question 468 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: to Wes. Who runs the faster forty? Chris Westling or 469 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: Papa John. I'd smoke that, dude. I think I could 470 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: run a five four? Have you? I don't know, Papa John. 471 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: Have you factored in his potential supernatural abilities? Well? Yeah, 472 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: I mean if if I was forced to stare into 473 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: his eyes for a while, I'd never make it on 474 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: the finish look Papa John in the eyes. Well known 475 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: Gregg is uncomfortable visibly, I can run a five four? 476 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: Are you a comfortable that that West says he can 477 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: run a five four? Or that we're talking about Papa John. 478 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with everything, but but I don't believe West 479 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: could run a five four, which that's pretty quick. I 480 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: think you could do it. I think West is a 481 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: good athlete. I know he is, actually, and I know 482 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: he's got a bad shoulder right now. He's got a 483 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: bumbling seen. I've seen the NFL media crew run some 484 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: forties in Indianapolis, and some of the younger, somewhat athletic 485 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: ones they ran him, and they weren't running five fours. 486 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: They were running slower that even the fast ones are 487 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: slower in that we're as slow people. You're probably right. 488 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: Everybody overraped their own forty times. Yes, everyone, it's true. 489 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: Everybody thinks they're fast than they are. Um, all right, gentlemen, 490 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: we'll dig back into the mail bag when Cecil gets 491 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: back into town because there were some sessler questions that 492 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: I didn't feel where Um, we're right to have him 493 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: without Mark's on vacation. Yeah, we should have said that 494 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: at the top. Mark is going to be out of 495 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: the picture for the whole week. Is that correct? That's right, 496 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: So he'll be back and we'll get back into the 497 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: mail bag when he's here. Now is the time the 498 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: gold standard? I'm ready alright, So, Chris Westling, I wish 499 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: I would have done some research before we get got 500 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: in the studio today on your record, but I think 501 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: we played the game roughly five times when West's toaster 502 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: sounds about right, Um, you have. There was one controversial 503 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: game where it appeared that you lost but you had 504 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: actually won. Other than that, it's been a clean sweep 505 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: where there have been no questions about who the champion is. 506 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: If Wes loses this challenge, this game of skill and valor, 507 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: he has to give up his toaster to a fan 508 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: and a t L podcast fan caller, the gold Center 509 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: behind the glass. It's been up to him to find 510 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: contestants over the past week and now he's done it, 511 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: and let's get into it's not just any toaster people. 512 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: Greg explained to the people. If you want to get 513 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: a piece of toast in the morning and you think, hey, 514 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: I'd love to have an NFL logo on it, this 515 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: is the toaster for you. But then if you wake 516 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: up the next day and you want a different NFL 517 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: logo on it, you're feeling that's more of a Titans day, 518 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: you can have that logo. It imprints all thirty two 519 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: logos into your piece of toast, and which is pretty amazing. 520 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: By the way it is. This is literally literally one 521 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: of a kind. This is not a we do not 522 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: When we first started the game, we thought we could 523 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: replicate this, but we have looked on eBay and other sites. 524 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: We cannot find another toaster. The imprints all thirty two. 525 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes the powers that be want the around the league 526 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: group or myself to talk up or sell some other 527 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: product or you know, series or something that's going on 528 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: within the group, and yeah, yeah, you feel weird about it. 529 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I fully believe in this toaster. It's one of 530 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: the best things the NFL has ever done. Right. And 531 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: since Mark isn't here, Mark Sessler, the Sizzler, has always 532 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: been the timekeeper in when West a toaster, it's a 533 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: it's a job that he didn't take for granted. It 534 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: was a job that he felt was a responsibility, and 535 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: I thought he's always handled it with grace. And now 536 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: that job falls to Greg Rosenthal, who just recently um 537 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: has kind of falled in love with the game. When 538 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: West his toaster, I wouldn't say that I'm definitely rooting 539 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: against West. I think this is the day that the 540 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: toaster in this game, the Gold Standards probably lined up 541 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: some kind of football genius. Today, I'm not feeling as 542 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: confident as I was the last few like it to 543 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: find out. All right, So why don't we get somebody 544 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: on the phone, Gold Center. Let's do it. I haven't 545 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: studied my stadium since last time. Well you better hope 546 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: that I don't have that sounds like Stadia nice stadium 547 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: is correct, fort for Similitude is miilitude. That's how you 548 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: say vs. Military. I don't even know if he used 549 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: it correctly, but I don't really know that word. I 550 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: think it mean it's realistic. It's realism. I love the word. Alright. 551 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: The Gold Center. Who do we have up first in 552 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: today's game? So today we have a gentleman who, in 553 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: the underground circles of NFL trivia goes by Big Mike. Oh, 554 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: Big Mike. We talked about Big Mike before the show. 555 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: Big Mike, as he goes by within the NFL circles, 556 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: is a big Jets fan? Is that correct? Mike? And 557 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: you have been to a game that I was at 558 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: as well, I believe is that? Yes? I think we 559 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: were both at the same game, and that is what game. Yes, 560 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: fake spike November. Dan Marino's fake spike against the Jets 561 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: basically set the Jets in a tailspin that took them 562 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: three years to recover from. But that's good. That gave 563 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: That gave you and I character and all other Jets fans. 564 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: It's one way to look at it. Are you are 565 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: you familiar with the game when West's toast Big Mike. Yes, 566 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: I am very familiar with the games, all right, and 567 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: I would. I'm just curious. One out of ten, what 568 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: is your level of confidence in taking down West the Mailman? Seven? 569 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: Only a seven because I respect less interesting. I like this. 570 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: We've struggled to get contestants that can challenge West. So 571 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: now we're going with a new tactic intimidation. Gigantic callers 572 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: Big Mike, Big Mike, so big night. Big Mike knows 573 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: the rules, but we will go over the real quickly. 574 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: If you're a first time listener to the game, I 575 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: will ask Big Mike six NFL trivia questions while West 576 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: is out of the room and a soundproof booth, and 577 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: then he'll get sixty seconds to answer it. Greg is 578 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: the official timer, and then West will then come and 579 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: sit down and answer the same six questions. Whoever gets 580 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: more correct is the winner and gets the toaster. If 581 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: there is a tie, it comes down to the clock 582 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: and who got the answers quickest. So Big Mike just 583 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: know when you do get through, just to say stop 584 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: the clock. So Greg and know when to shut it down, 585 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: and we could use that as your final score. All right, 586 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: let's do it. Wes be gone and there goes Chris 587 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: Westling the Mailman he's walking out of the room the 588 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: mad scientist. I feel like we don't get enough use 589 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: out of the soundproof booth for the rest of the weeks. 590 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? We should start just put 591 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: big production expense, like if someone you know, we should 592 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: have like uh various militude if someone mispronounces that into 593 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: the soundproof booth. Anyway, alright, big Mike um greg at 594 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: the start of them music, we will begin gold standard. 595 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: Let's do this. Who was the Lion's head coach in 596 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: their own sixteen season in two thousand eight. Bobby Ross, 597 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: who was the Saints leading receiver in their Super Bowl 598 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: season of two thousand nine. Marcus Coulson, who is the 599 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: Panther's kicker who's out of bounds kickoff led to doom 600 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: against the Patriots late and Super Bowl thirty eight John Casey. 601 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: The Jets took this quarterback three picks before the Dolphins 602 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: selected Dan Marino in the NFL draft. Ken O'Brien, who 603 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: is the leading rusher in Oakland Raiders history. Market Town 604 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: named two active NFL quarterbacks who are Heisman Trophy winners, 605 00:32:46,320 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin, Oh my god and uh great Manny No. Alright, 606 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: stop the clock, stop the clock. All right, you got 607 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,479 Speaker 1: four correct, that's excellent, that's pretty good. You got a chance. 608 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: You uh only had a couple of seconds left. So 609 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: if it came down to a tie four and fifty 610 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: seven seconds, all right, at the Gold Center, let's summon 611 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: the mad scientist. Little pressure on West this tea. We 612 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: can't let him. Alright, West. As West sits down in 613 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: the chair, Big Mike, I cannot tell you. I know, Wes. 614 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: You always want to know what you're competitive, always trying 615 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: to trick you into telling, And I will not tell you, 616 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: but just know that you need to compete. But that 617 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: would not change no matter whether Big Mike got six 618 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: or zero or something in between. Remember when I walked 619 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: into the room after Saskatoon went and he told me 620 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: I needed to compete then too. Yeah, that's true. Saskatoon 621 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: one zero. That was one for Saskatoon the last game. Yeah, alright, 622 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: Big Mike, you sit tight and listen in and at 623 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: the start of the music, West will battle for his toaster. 624 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: Who was the Lion's head coach in their own sixteen 625 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: season in two thousand eight is Marinelli or morning Ok 626 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: Rob marion Elli, who was the Saints leading receiver in 627 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: their Super Bowl season of two thousand nine. Marcus Colston, 628 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: who was the Panthers kicker who's out of bounce kickoff 629 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: led to June. The Jets took this quarterback three picks 630 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: before the Dolphins selected Dan Reno, who is the leading 631 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: rusher in Oakland Raiders history. Marcus Allen named two active 632 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who are Heisman Trophy winners r G three and 633 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer. Stop the clock. That is six out of 634 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: six for Chris Westling. You gotta get these questions even harder. 635 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: I guess Big Mike four out of six. Great, great 636 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: job by Big Mike. You really did put up a 637 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: great fight. But Wes again, was it's a dynasty right now, 638 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: Big Mike. Yeah, I'm sorry that you you fell short. 639 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: But it was quite an effort. All right, thank you 640 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: very much? Was the answer was Rob Baronelli. Yes, at 641 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: least you gave a battle. This is Dan somehow works 642 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: in such a way that West always keeps his toast there. 643 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: But now he's at least has some competitions. He thinks 644 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: that's good for ratings or whatever. This is the perfect way. 645 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: I don't think what a naysayer Rosenthal is in this case, 646 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: that was a great battle by Big Mike and West 647 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: came out on top. It wasn't that close, Big Mike, 648 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: thank you for listening and thank you for trying to win. Win. 649 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: West's toaster gold standards is floating right now because that 650 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: was that was a good competitor. Yeah, I feel like 651 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: Don King right now. It's like I keep the moneymaker 652 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: with the crown. But we gave him a good fight. 653 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: You're satisfied with that performance.
