1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, give zero about the new

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: Star Wars. Welcome back to another edition of the Around

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansus, and I

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: am joined by a room filled with heroes. Mark Sessler,

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. What's up, boys? He didn't say,

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: what's up boys? What's up? Boys? Wow? Off the rails.

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: Already clean it up and post, clean it up and

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: post what's up everybody. I had nothing to do with

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: that Star Wars dropped by the way, um, Mark, I mean,

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's nothing new. I know it's coming

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: on that subject matter in this room. But he did

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: send out a tweet the other day like how many

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: more years have I stuck with the Star Wars? But

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't trolling. I was actually curious how many more

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: of these? And I was actually stunned to learn that

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: it will outlast you. It is we are locked in

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: because there's already been two in a row, and there's

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: one December, and then the next two years after that,

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: and then perhaps more down the road. That's a lot. Well,

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: I don't think Disney purchased it for the insane amount

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: of money they did from Lucasfilm to pump out two

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: or three movies and then just say, well that was nice.

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: I think they cornerstone the entire franchise off of but

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: the license to print money. I kind of grew up

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: in a world and things are changing where all right,

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: if you had a major franchise, every two or three years,

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: maybe a new one comes out and this is a

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: new realm, and and this is also this is what

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna stay to you downstairs. Mark Fast and

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: the Furious had their eighth movie. There's no movie that

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: it made half a billion dollars globally box office hundred

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. Here, there's no part of the zeitgeist that

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: makes me feel more disconnected from people then Fast and

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: the Furious and then Star Wars. It doesn't help I

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: feel out of the loop with that too. So this

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: back to back the thing, I've never felt more out

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: of it because anyone just by a show of hands,

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: or maybe because as an audio podcast, don't do that.

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: And have any of us seen any of the eight

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: Fast and Furious movies? Zero, not intentionally like maybe ten

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: minutes on TV. Not intentionally, Okay, I've never seen I've

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: never seen one Sydney. I've seen several who were in

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: the minority. It was the only girl in my family

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: growing up. Also, a couple of times I got in

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: for free because I worked at a movie theater, so okay,

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: it's worth free. But you, I mean, you're the average

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: American where you've seen multiple Fast and the Furious film, right,

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: But it's not something I did willingly or I guess

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: it's inescapable unless you're on this podcast. You have some

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: sort of anxiety about your disconnect. I would welcome you

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: to join the disconnected side of society and embrace it.

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: It's true it I feel that same way on Master's Weekend,

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: that Will, that Will, that was your nat disconnected from you,

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: like everyone can't can't wait to take our nap and

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: just watch some Masters. At this point, even the mpt

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: A tournament, I feel a little disconnected, and it's not

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: a good or bad feeling. But I think to your point,

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: like Dan, I obviously grew up in Star Wars meant

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: something different to me because I a little bit older

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: than you. He's the first movie my dad took me to,

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: was the first toys I collected. There's a lot more

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: if you had no me if it had no meaning

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: to you and it's kind of dropped back in your

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: life at age thirty something. I totally get your point

65
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: of view, but in general, it's harder to escape all

66
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: these things that are whether it's Master's Weekend or Fast

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: and Furious twenty six or Starry, everything is coming at

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: us NonStop. Now you can't escape any of it. You

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: have to turn off all channels, all social media outlets

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: to get away from this stuff. It's how I feel

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: about I mean, people who love cats, or maybe hockey

72
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: as an idea square dancing. I mean, it's just that

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I have zero connection to here. But people love hockey,

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: so good for them. I don't. It's good. I can understand.

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I just had zero connection to it. One thing you

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: notice about grown ups when you get older, we have

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: some bizarre fast and nations and interests. Everybody gets into

78
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: their little niche hobbies and stuff, and it's like, okay, yeah, um,

79
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: what about like moms that when you're young, you go

80
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: into people's friends houses and the moms have all turned

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: kitchens into like a theme like I had Coca Cola whales.

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: There's a hundreds of waking around offense. Damn hey said,

83
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't the easter. I was expecting Danncy

84
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: at the park. What gifts? Um fun fact, I may

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: be going after work, so this this fun just rushing

86
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: down through rush hour traffic. I mean, how how would that?

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: How would you possibly deal with that traffic? Uh, there's

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: there's a light at the end of the tunnel, A

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: bright lightful of magic and happiness. It's This is the

90
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: Monday edition of the Around the NFL podcast driven by Hyundai.

91
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, everybody. A great show today, A

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: lot to get to. Um. Some big news out there, uh,

93
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: including you know, whenever you can talk about Dino Blandino

94
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: in a big spot, when you can lead the news

95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: with the Dean Meister. Uh, We're gonna do it all

96
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: these parts. He's probably hoping this is the last time

97
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: we lead the news with him, because if it happens

98
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: again in his next role, like something's probably carry Austin

99
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: and something's gone wrong. Uh So anyway, we'll do some news.

100
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: We're also going to the draft, by the way, is

101
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: ten days away now, just ten days away from the

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen NFL drafts. So we will take a

103
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: look to Chris Westling is in the process of writing

104
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: a banger about established NFL players who are trade bait

105
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: um that could be tied into trades that involved draft picks.

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: It's a fun little exercise. So we all rubber Stampton

107
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: and the way we go. That's how it works around here.

108
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Democracy Also, you know, I mean, great idea in its

109
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: own right, but you know, we're kind of run out

110
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: of running out of ideas at this point. Jeff's gotta

111
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: get here, got to get here. Uh so, yeah, that's

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: today's show, and uh said, I think, why don't we

113
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: get into it. Let's do a little bit of news.

114
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Just turn around and look, Actually, the lead, the lead news,

115
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: by the way, is actually gonna you know what, I'm

116
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna save it. You're gonna bury the lead. Bury the lead,

117
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: you'll burily. Let's start with Dino Blandino, who is the

118
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: the NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating. He is leaving

119
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: the gig for a network television position, according to a

120
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: memo that was obtained by rap Sheet and adity Kin Kawala.

121
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Uh this, I don't know where he's going. CBS makes

122
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. He's not going to Fox because

123
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: my prayer is in that position, they're doubling up. It's

124
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: there there. Wow, that is Garoppolo. That's what they're doing here.

125
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: So what is it Their number one and number two

126
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: teams are gonna have like, uh, they're gonna play off

127
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: each other. That's pretty good. That's a nice job. Well.

128
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: I also was thinking, like in the playoffs, when Pereira

129
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: is in one place, Platinos in another, they do when

130
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: he travels, but they never have Praier. They don't travel.

131
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Don't think in the playoffs. In the playoffs they have

132
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: him travel. You're in the regular season, he's he's in

133
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: the studio. So I don't know what they're gonna do.

134
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll send one out on the road and Pereira

135
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: stays out. Pereira gets earlier to his Tito's and uh,

136
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: yeah he loves which I respect him about that now.

137
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: But the big news I guess from an NFL standpoint,

138
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: and it didn't make some waves, is that Blandino has

139
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: obviously a big role in that room, that command center

140
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: for replaying, and him leaving for a TV job. Um

141
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: right after the owners voted to expand the powers of

142
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the instant replay command center left some people scratching their heads,

143
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: and I guess he maybe kind of irked some people.

144
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: And I even saw something out there that maybe the

145
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: owners wouldn't have voted that way if they if they

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: would have known that Blendino was missing or leaving, to

147
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: which I will say, Chris Westling, if it was that

148
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: much tied into Dean Blandino, you should have never voted

149
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: anyway in favor of this. They should have someone else

150
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: that's competent, that can handle these duties. Well. I think

151
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: they liked Dean Blandino because he's been pretty good on television.

152
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: He's good at explaining things, even things he might not

153
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: believe in, He explains pretty well. Al Rivern is his

154
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: first lieutenant. Nobody's ever seen him on television, so I

155
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: think he's completely unknown in that area. And coaches, you know,

156
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: according to this Albert Brier article that he wrote about

157
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: coaches in front office, people often kind of you know,

158
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: went into a lot of conversations with Blandino hot under

159
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: the collar, and he talked him down. He was good

160
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: at communicating. I don't know, it shouldn't be that big

161
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: of a deal, though, I also thought this, this change

162
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: in the rule isn't that big of a change from

163
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: what it was before. Essentially, that room was already deciding.

164
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: It's just making a little more official, making it a

165
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: little cleaner. I mean we can if we can replace,

166
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna be okay, we can replace. I mean.

167
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: Part of the news is that Peter King wrote an

168
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: mm QB part on this. How what friend of Blandino

169
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: said that he's forty five, he's married, he has two

170
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: children under five. He probably didn't want to work eighty

171
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: hours a week. This is really good for him. Another

172
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: friend said that he had long fancied himself a future

173
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: TV guys, so they kind of there must have someone

174
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: who was close to him. People even inside the NFL

175
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: must have known he was not potentially for long, but

176
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: they didn't tell the owners this. They didn't make that

177
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: clear to any of them, and they had the timing

178
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: is anybody that's gonna get on Blandino in a serious

179
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: way needs to really re evaluate themselves. Um, but I

180
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: will say this, you know, Daddy value sleep. I get that.

181
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: I get this whole thing. Daddy is the father of

182
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: a two and a half year old and a five

183
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: month old. You being the daddy and daddy when he's

184
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: trying to sleep on Friday morning before, you know, right

185
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: around when the sun is coming up, because you know

186
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: he's got a big day ahead of him. Is getting

187
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: a breaking text alert on my phone telling me that

188
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: someone at my company handed in their two week notice.

189
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: Let's calm down a little bit with the breaking news

190
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: that the guy in the command center is taking another job.

191
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: Let's calm down. Can I give you my mac you

192
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: my macro view on this? On one hand, your sport

193
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: is so healthy, it's so prosperous that a network feels

194
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: compelled to put two people in a booth to explain

195
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: what's going on. On the other hand, your rules are

196
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: so esoteric, so arcane that you need to hire two

197
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: people to explain them to other human beings watching your game.

198
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Maybe have better rules, that's fair. How about the daddy thing? Work?

199
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Could not agree more? I mean, I thought you were

200
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: going down the road of this guy Blandino moving away

201
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: from an eighty hour week job to something that's kind

202
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: of like he says, he gets to be home every day,

203
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: kind of chill with his kids, have a low pressure scenario.

204
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Daddy likes. The idea of all of that, too, is

205
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: Daddy ever coming back. You could soon daddy won't be

206
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: a daddy anymore. You cat. You can know there's two

207
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: roads here. You could put the phone, yeah, put the

208
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: phone away. I mean you know what do you are

209
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: from me? We got the phone by my side. I

210
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: don't have a landline. Moving on, the Carolina Panthers did

211
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: some business on Monday, signing started to defensive tackle came

212
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: on Short to a five year deal. According to the

213
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: team's official site, rap Sheet reported the pact is worth

214
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: eighty point five million with thirty five million guaranteed. Uh. Short,

215
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: it gets forty million over the first two years. That's

216
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: sixteen million a season. And I'll tell you this is

217
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: the name. This you gotta when you look at these contracts,

218
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: what the agent is looking for. Look at the names

219
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: that are attached to it in the similar neighborhood Marcel

220
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: Darius and Dominican Sue Fletcher Cox. Uh it's a lot

221
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: of money, Um, Greg, is it worth that? Is he

222
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: worth that type of investment? One short? Well, he's forty

223
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: million over the next two years. Is significantly more than

224
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and some other quarterbacks make, which is it's

225
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: not a totally fair comparison. Because they have signing bonuses

226
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: at the front of their deal. But that is intense.

227
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: That said, he's a top five defensive tackle. Why have

228
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: they been saving up money cap room, which they have

229
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: plenty of. Why didn't they sign Josh Norman. It should

230
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: be to keep your best players. And Kwan short is

231
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the best panther. Uh, there is other than Cam Newton.

232
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: So it's fine. It's just the going rate and these

233
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: prices are gonna keep going up and up. And uh.

234
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: He turned into a great, great pick by Dave Gettlman,

235
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: a pick that a lot of people criticized at the time.

236
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: They said he had inconsistent effort, was kind of a

237
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: boom or bus guy. People thought they even reached for

238
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: him even in the all of the second round, and

239
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: he's turned into a star. It's hard to find an

240
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: impact front seven player after the first round and get

241
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Leiman did he found him in the second round? You're right,

242
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: he was. His motor was question coming out, but he's

243
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: been there. Outside of Chickley, he's been their best defensive player.

244
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Do we still think this front seven is what it's

245
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: been before? That it can be? It wasn't last year,

246
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: But I like what they've done this offseason by bringing

247
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: in Peppers, by resigning Addison, They're pretty deep star load.

248
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Lelee will be in a contract year, you know, maybe

249
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: trying to play for that money. Yeah, how do you say?

250
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: I think you just hope Luke quick Lee stays healthy,

251
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have any more concussions, because on paper,

252
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: this is one of the best front sevens in the league.

253
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: They drafted Vernon Butler to kind of fill in there,

254
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: so that that's a nice rotation. I mean, short who

255
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: started off a little slow last year, finished very strong,

256
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: and he's been sensational the last two years. In fiction

257
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: or reality news, Tom Savage reported to the Texans offseason

258
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: workouts on Monday, which started for teams. UM, and you know,

259
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: he's very excited with the opportunity now that Brock Osweiler

260
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: has been moved to Cleveland. Now Tony Romo has moved

261
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: to uh Phil Simms's old neighborhood. Uh and Savage said

262
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: he believes it's going to be a fun and peaceful

263
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: QB room. Uh what does that mean, Mark, I don't

264
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: even know what that means to me. I wonder if

265
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a shot on Brock Osweiler, because

266
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: by the end of last year in Houston, Oswidler, who's

267
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: the pressure was on him, is getting into verbal and

268
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: nearly physical altercations with the head coach that had to

269
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: have been bubbling up for months and months as his

270
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: season was melting down. You remove him, and you know,

271
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: also Tom Savage today has no ostensible you know, competition.

272
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: That's to change. That's gonna change. But right now, yes

273
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: it's peaceful. Will it be Tom Savage that's starting to

274
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: be upset about things about a month from now? Possibly?

275
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was a sign that there

276
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: was drama which we heard about, and that maybe it

277
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: affected the rest of the team in Oswilder O'Brien, this

278
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: was a problem the whole time. I watched this press conference,

279
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: and Savage was a little bit of ornerary like he

280
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: it was a little bit a little bit defensive, and

281
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I wandering man talks about peaceful luck room,

282
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I would be too, because I think he

283
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: believed after three years in the league and a couple starts,

284
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: that he had gotten past this whole question of whether

285
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: he was a real person or not. Like he like,

286
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, there was that big theory that he was

287
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: just a figment of the draft industrial complex, kind of

288
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: a dream of gil Brand's and not a real human being.

289
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: But he's still holding onto this. I'm going out there

290
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: to play for everybody in that locker room and everybody

291
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: who believes in me to to true. I mean the

292
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: day after the day after Easter, when I got some

293
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: pointed questions about who put the eggs wear from my

294
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: daughter and she was questioning, you know, the legitimacy of

295
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: the easter bunny and whatnot. You could you could see

296
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: you could see that. Tom. You know, Tom Savage is

297
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: still struggling with that. What are her thoughts on Tom Savage?

298
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: Craig's daughter is a contrarian and at early eight, that

299
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: is early bird to be asking big questions like that.

300
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: She like four rights, she's five, But she figured out, like,

301
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: how do you know where the eggs are? But that's

302
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, if that's so funny, bring that up, because

303
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: the same thing happened in my backyard yesterday. My friend

304
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: and his family came over and they have a five

305
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: year old son who said, where are the eggs? And

306
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: I said, they're here, They're in the backyard. And he says,

307
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't see them, said, oh, actually, because Jack he

308
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: was taking nap at the time. I said, until Jack

309
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: wakes up. Only grown ups can see the eggs. The

310
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: Easter bunny makes eggs visible to children. But I mean

311
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: that's but this is the type of both. Of course

312
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: they did. Kids believe anything. There's your stupid kids. They're dumb. Well,

313
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: my children eggs kid, No, I mean all kids, my

314
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: two or there's six and four. And all they knew

315
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: was that the eggs contain candy. They were not asking

316
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: deeper questions about the origin, who put them there, or anything.

317
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: I think she saw like a right aid little sticker

318
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: on one of them. You've got to be better than that, though,

319
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be better than that. What do you got?

320
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: What you got? Right? Aig stickers on the Easter eggs

321
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: for on the on the you know, the bunny candy?

322
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: What are we doing? My point being is she's a

323
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: very precocious, sweet girl. She's gonna be asking questions. But

324
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: if you just feed her a good line, she's just

325
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna roll with it. Probably most kids she'll she'd be

326
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: the type she pretends to roll with it. But she

327
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: already knew. She already you got your hands fall, got

328
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: a little female Greg on your hands. Uh, let's move on.

329
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: Talk about andrewa female Craig. I mean, I mean, if

330
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: we're if we're gonna be real about it, I I

331
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: feel a closer connection and that to my daughter. No

332
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: person is more like me on this planet than than else,

333
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: which makes some sense. She's gonna be a pain in

334
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: the ass. Nobody more prepared to deal with her than you.

335
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: What a battle that's gonna be once, I guess, or

336
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be like this is what I have

337
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: wrought all the terrible things about No, not terrible, all

338
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: that you know, things about myself that are difficult that

339
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: I made on my parents. It's coming back. Can you

340
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: even imagine like a sixteen year old female version of

341
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: Greg against like fifty year old Greg. What a battle

342
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch. I gotta get cameras in the house

343
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: for that. Wow. And and your wife is gonna have

344
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: a front roast seed for all of it. She's got

345
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: an ant or else has an answer for everything. Let's

346
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: talk about Andrew Luck, who revealed during a meet and

347
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: greet with reporters on Monday that his January shoulder surgery

348
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: originated from an early season injury suffered in two thousand

349
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: and fifteen odd. It originally occurred a couple of years

350
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: ago against the Tennessee Titans, and we sort of sat

351
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: down after that year and and and felt like rehab

352
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: was the way to go. And I think that was

353
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: the absolute correct decision. We did some awesome things, and then, uh,

354
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: you know this this year happened obviously and transpired through

355
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: this year, and sat down after this year and decided that,

356
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe it was time to time to

357
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: do surgery on it. Mark, does this surprise you that

358
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: he hurts himself and what late September early October and

359
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: he has surgery? You're was this handled correctly? You think, well,

360
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't know. I mean, he went out of his

361
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: way to say the training staff couldn't have done more,

362
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: It couldn't have been more collaborative. And then I, you know,

363
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: we went out as a team and a player to

364
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: get all the information one year la. I agree with

365
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: what West basically said the minute this news hit was

366
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: that you could tell all along it was something wasn't right.

367
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: When then he basically said that much last training camp

368
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: that that he didn't want to say outright, but he's

369
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: not been healthy since essentially the start of Week three. Yeah.

370
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I have theorized since that early two thousand fifteen season

371
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: that Luck was playing injured within arm, a throwing arm injury,

372
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: and I've been waiting for the smoking gun. It finally

373
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: arrived today in him admitting that it was an injury

374
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: that eventually necessitated surgery. And look, he was on the

375
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: injury report most of last year with the shoulder injury,

376
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: missed a lot of practice. And one thing I got

377
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: from Jim Mercy's comments a few weeks ago on Luck

378
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: was how much Luck went through all of last year

379
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: when he played well for the most part, it was

380
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: a good year for Andrew Luck, but that it was

381
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: a real struggle to get him ready for some of

382
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: those games last year. So you would you would hope

383
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: it's a big risk that he comes back and he's

384
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: you know, good to go for Week one, but you

385
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: would hope this leads to a better Andrew Luck. This

386
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: is what Mr Say said in London last year, three

387
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: months after Luck signed the biggest contract in NFL history.

388
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: There isn't some kind of chronic shoulder injury or anything

389
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: like that. I promise you there are no surgeries planned.

390
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: He is fine in the shoulder is something that just

391
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: disappears into the woodwork when he wins his next m

392
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: v P or when he wins the Super Bowl. I

393
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: cannot shake the feeling that the cults are a mess.

394
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: M I know, I know, I don't like the use

395
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: of the word. I promise you. When he was hil lying, yeah,

396
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I know, West, you said you've been liking some of

397
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: the moves that the culture making, and and maybe maybe

398
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: the surgery is will be a success and he'll be

399
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: the Andrew Luck of old. I don't know. I just

400
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: about this organization spooks me. I take this team still,

401
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: I think they might. I don't know, just because they

402
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: have Andrew Luck and they have a passing game I

403
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: believe in. I still kind of give them the edge

404
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: over that division. Let's see what happens assuming it's Andrew Luck.

405
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Assuming it's Andrew Luck. But I always find the cults

406
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Uh. Let's move on and talk about Brandon Albert.

407
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, another team that began their offseason workouts today.

408
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Albert not in the building. We're actually reported Monday

409
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: morning that Albert was not present at the team meet,

410
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: the first team meeting and alignment is holding out for

411
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: a new contract. Uh. This is the same Albert that

412
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: was acquired from the Dolphins this offseason in exchange for

413
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick. He's thirty two. He signed a

414
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: five year, forty seven million dollar deal in UH, it's

415
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: not a holdout because it's not it's not mandatory practices.

416
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: But this is the new cycle of April sixteen, so

417
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: some people are going to make more than this than

418
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: what it really is. I think in football, more than

419
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: any sport, the beat writers are complicit and doing the

420
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: coaches bidding for them, and that's why you see stories

421
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: like this that I is holding out of something voluntary,

422
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: which makes no semantical sense whatsoever. We should change the

423
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: wording on NFL dot com. Then I thought the same

424
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: thing Greg, which I did that used to be an

425
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: editorial um edict that we had. Don't use the word

426
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: to hold out for these things because he's just trying

427
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: to get it's admit, it's the middle of April. They'll

428
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: work it out. He's sitting out. Well, he went into

429
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: Oxonville with the understanding that they would look at his

430
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: contracts and potentially redo it and that just hasn't happened yet.

431
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Moving on, Roddy White's done. Well, we knew he was done,

432
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: but now it's official that he's done. Uh. Just about

433
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: one year after he was cut by the Atlanta Falcons,

434
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: he announced his retirement in a series of tweets, thanking

435
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: the owner, the organization, UH, Falcons organization, the city of Atlanta. Uh.

436
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: This ends a great career for a guy who's seven

437
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: overall pick in two thousand or five, finished with over

438
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: eight hundred catches, more than almost eleven thousand yards, sixty

439
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, a hundred seventy one games over eleven seasons.

440
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: Was the first first team All Pro once had a

441
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen catches one year. I mean, this guy

442
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: was a stud west. Where do you put him? Rank him? Uh?

443
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: In top top ten receiver of the last fifteen years?

444
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: Is he that good? Top twenty? He's going to end up,

445
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: in my opinion, just below Chad Johnson in the hall

446
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: are very good. And when you look at football careers,

447
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: this is such a hard sport. He played eleven years,

448
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: he was really good for six of them. He could

449
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: have been a Pro Bowl in all six of those

450
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: seasons and he had five years where he was kind

451
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: of like a net minus for the Falcons five years first,

452
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: the first two of his career. In the last two,

453
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: well he was Yeah, he was someone a good warning

454
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: to not call guys bust too early in their career.

455
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: He was a guy who got killed for the drops

456
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: that he had earlier in his career. Couldn't couldn't really

457
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: catch on, and then he turned out to be one

458
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: of the most fun players to watch because of his toughness.

459
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny that early in his career he

460
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: was knocked for drops because when I think of Roddy White,

461
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: I think of how many tough catches he made after

462
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: the catch in the middle of the field, Like just

463
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: you always got a lot of effort out of Roddy White.

464
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: So you know, he was fun, fun guy. Can't help

465
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: but think though that for either younger Falcons fans or

466
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: people that don't want to remember his entire career, that

467
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: he's also remembered for. When he finally left, they signed

468
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel in the offense blows up.

469
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: The last couple of years in Atlanta were not he

470
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: He felt like he was there a little bit too

471
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: long in Atlanta. Yes, he was kind of a great

472
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: example of a veteran who ends up hanging on too

473
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: long and then gets cranky at the very end and

474
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: becomes more of a pain than to help. Uh and

475
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: other retirement news. Andre Johnson, who was that a football?

476
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: Was he a football last year? Entirely? I know that

477
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: he went to the cults and then he I think

478
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: he retired, well, he signed he signed a one day

479
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: contract to retire formally with the Texans. Just wanted to

480
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: throw that in there. I mean, if we're talking about

481
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: Ronnie White Andrew Johnson is doing some type of retirement stuff,

482
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: they probably go to the Hall of Fame. My memory

483
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: is often cloudy, but he retired in October. He said

484
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm retired. Yeah, we did a whole show on it.

485
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: I think now, I mean not the whole show. But

486
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: but you don't get to come out like in April

487
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: when you've already retired and say, hey, I'm retiring. I

488
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: just hope everybody forgot it so you can get well,

489
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: you know what, do the Texans needs something? He's the

490
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: He's literally the greatest player in their history. Am I wrong?

491
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: Is there a greater tech? Houston, Texan of all time.

492
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: J J. Wat's going to be right well, but so

493
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: far he's certainly the greatest to retire, so you know,

494
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: he let him have his little I mean, they just

495
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: had a Josh Scobie press conference for crying out loud

496
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: when I retired. When I retire in forty to fifty years,

497
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: I am going to then retire again and then hold

498
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: a press conference at the shop right of Pearl River,

499
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: which is the place I first worked retiring for fifth

500
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: do you well, Hey, listen, I'm gonna save it for

501
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the politics podcast, but what's going on with our social securities?

502
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: You know? Am I gonna be taking care of the

503
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: way prior generations were saved? For the Economics Path podcast,

504
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you a Jordan Gross like send off

505
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: complete with slide shows. Uh quartet involved my favorite ever.

506
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: And finally there's the Lions unveiled new uniforms they brought.

507
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: Let's see what they did? Um they got there's no black.

508
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: I hate the black. Um what do they call those

509
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: alternative that? They brought? Some a grayish color which I like,

510
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: dark steel gray, which is technically called let me get

511
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: this name. I've never heard of this word before anthracite.

512
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: Anthracite the only issue I had with the uniform and

513
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: and the Browns went down this road and I didn't

514
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: like it then where they put browns down the side

515
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: of the leg. Now we have lions and texts across

516
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: the sleeve. Um Shack happened to be in the newsroom

517
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: when I wrote this, and he gave me, uh, he

518
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: gave me a quote. Why does the sleeve have to

519
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: say the team name like nobody knows who they are?

520
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: I'll say, like Dave, why does a sleeve have to

521
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: Why does sleeve have to say the team name like

522
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: nobody knows who they are? That's a self esteem issues, fella.

523
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: I get where Dave's coming from with that one. I mean,

524
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more that that should not be a

525
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: trend um. I just wish the NFL would allow some

526
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: of these teams because this has been a I'd say

527
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: of the uniform changes, lions excluded have been kind of

528
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: disastrous over the last since we've been doing this podcast.

529
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jaguars, I'm not a huge fan of that.

530
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: The Bucks. A lot of times we don't want to

531
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: even watch the Bucks. The Browns was a major misstep.

532
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: This five year waiting period, I'm gonna keep banging this drum.

533
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta reduce this. If you make a

534
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: mistake and your team doesn't look good, and you could

535
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: say you have a hat, you're stuck in this situation

536
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: on top of your own issues as a as a

537
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: as a roster for five years. You got I understand.

538
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: You can't do it every year. Move that down to

539
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: two seasons. If you really make a misstep allowed that

540
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: team to get out. Maybe every every team gets one

541
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: mulligan every or call it a mulligan every decade. Why

542
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: is this so hard? I mean, the best uniforms are

543
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: the ones that always stay the same. Quit tinkerd you

544
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: find a good one and stay with it. You're right,

545
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: the five year thing is crazy. I mean we could

546
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: we could leave this office right now, walk two blocks

547
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: down and go buy some guns, you know, like I

548
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: could go have my daughter go buy some gun, maybe

549
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: any pets, and you don't have to wait at all.

550
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: You gotta wait five years for a uniform change. Saving

551
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: for the gun control podcast. Say, how is he bringing

552
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: this back to the lines uniforms? The gun shop across

553
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: the street there there there really is a gun shop

554
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: across the street, remember when the historical it's been around

555
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: for decades. You could buy swords there too. Yeah, it's

556
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: not a joke. It's a real place and it has

557
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: lines formed out of it on Saturday morning, if you drive,

558
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: if you buy their slightly disturbing. That's what's happening in

559
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: the news. What's the first thing you put on and

560
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: the last thing you take off? Someone gotta answer, it's

561
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna be your underwear. Thank you? We got said drillies.

562
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: What's that drillies? Yeah, you can put on your drillies.

564
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: I can tell you that I don't know what drulies are.

00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: good and he's delivered right to your door. Meandies are

567
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: designed in l A and made from sustainably sourced micro

568
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: a fabric. Three times so often they caught Meandi soft

569
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: and they saw luge Undy's coming in ever changing selection

570
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: of classic colors, bolt shades, and adventurous patterns. So you

00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: can tell you you're undis to your own personal style.

572
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,880

573
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: not cater to our style, you know, freezing. I don't

574
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: know if we could share the conversation he had before

575
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: the pots started. I just think they're fantastic underwear. They

576
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: are softer than any other pair of underwear I own.

577
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: Put it this way. Mark said the underwear made him

578
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: look very masculine. Well I didn't say that inside my house.

579
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Someone else said that's me, and it was not either

580
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: of my children, thankfully, or your wife. Well, it was

Speaker 1: but show what you can do. We have Mr F

603
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: and he is a bit of a legend on the show,

604
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: but in all seriousness, he is an economics teacher and

605
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: that's where he's coming from. This. We'll have to talk

606
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: to a shadowy league figure about this because the more

607
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: I think about it, the more it annoys me. It

608
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: is annoying. I didn't even need to need to think

609
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: about it a lot. It annoyed me from the jump.

610
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh move on and uh oh man,

611
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 1: the draft is ten days away, and it's not just

612
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: ten days away. There's something else going on with the

613
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: draft this year West. It's outside. So as you as

614
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: everyone knows that listen to the show, we're incredibly excited

615
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: about just the the hyper specifics of the event, starting

616
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: with its location, but there's also a lot to be

617
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: intrigued with about the actual draft. Uh. Do you know

618
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: how many things could go wrong when you have an

619
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: event outside rain, sleep, snow, earthquake, earthquake, superstorm, airplane crash.

620
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: It's true total national truck. Look into the history of

621
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: circuses at the turn of the century. You gotta fire

622
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: hazard waiting to happen to So you want to go outside,

623
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: well you better be ready to hang some serious onions.

624
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: Save it from the Turn of the Entry Circus podcast anyway.

625
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: So with the draft coming up, which is outdoors, a

626
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: part of the trade, um, A part of the draft

627
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: is the trades that happen. And that's what one of

628
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: the funny things about mock drafts is that people obsess

629
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: over them, and then the draft day comes in two

630
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: or three trades happen. It blows apart all these theories

631
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: about how teams will UH will behave come draft day.

632
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: So Chris Westling is in the process of writing a

633
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: likely banger put it that way, um about he has

634
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: a breakdown of ten different names ranked one to ten

635
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: UH players that are real trade bait this time, or

636
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: which you know players that can teams can take some

637
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: of their vets and spend them to better draft positioning,

638
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: or the entire new picks and all that fun and west.

639
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: Since you will be writing this piece, who do you

640
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: want to start talking about? Well, I have them listed

641
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: in most likely to be traded at the top of

642
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: the list to least likely to be traded at the

643
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: bottom of the list. Makes everybody knows Mars Shawn Lynch

644
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: is going to be traded, right it sounds like it.

645
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: The second most likely guy, in my opinion, is a

646
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: Jets star Sheldon Richardson. What are you hoping to get

647
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: in return for him? Dan, I, I'm not like stupid enough.

648
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: We're silly enough to think that they can get a

649
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: first round pick. And it doesn't sound like that you're

650
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna get a second round pick. So I've now reached

651
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: the point where I'm hoping a mid round pick in

652
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: an ideal world, a third round pick. And if that,

653
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: if that's not offered, I stick with Sheldon Richardson and

654
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: then see how this year plays out, and and and

655
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: see more. Wilkerson's money isn't guaranteed after this year. Let

656
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: it play out a little bit. But the third round

657
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: pick is probably what I would take at this point.

658
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: He's like, I souped up Timmy Journagin. I just got

659
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: traded for like twenty spots in the draft, right, So

660
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: that would indicate that a third round and pick would

661
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: be difficult because you're not just trading for Sheldon Richardson.

662
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: You're trading for Sheldon Richardson at one year eight million dollars.

663
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: It's not cheap. You're you're paying them at a two

664
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: suspensions at a top self defensive lineman rate, just for

665
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: one year to no guarantee pass that what if a

666
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 1: smart team picked him up for one year at eight million,

667
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: got Pro Bowl level play out of him, and then

668
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: let him walk and picked up a compensatory pick around

669
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: the same level. I don't think it's a crazy idea

670
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: to trade a fourth round I would trade a fourth

671
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: round pick for one year Sheldon Richardson for sure. But

672
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: would you want to be you want to be a

673
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: competitive team at that point then, because you know, it's

674
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,959
Speaker 1: got to be frustrating for the Jets who have talked

675
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: about potentially you know, there's been talks about maybe moving

676
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: Richardson the last offseason and this offseason that he really

677
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: burned his own value last year by being a bit

678
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: of a head case too, And he's got all this

679
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: off the fields. So it's he he You know that

680
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: this was a quest by the Jets. He's done them

681
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: no favors, but it's still I like him at number

682
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: two that it's very possible. Here's here's the problem too.

683
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: He has been a bit of a headcase and has

684
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: had the suspensions, but he was being played out a

685
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: position last year and the Jets have to rectify that

686
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: if they can't, if they have to, I don't want

687
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: them settling for thirty cents on the dollar in this

688
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: if they can't get any real value. And they're talking

689
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: about a Day three draft pick. I said, just hold

690
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: on to him and see how he comes back next year.

691
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: That's just this guy. Wasn't his effort questioned. And then

692
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: he called out Brandon Marshall for some things like Marshall

693
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 1: and Richardson wearing a blood war in the locker room

694
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: last year. And Marshall's gone and Richardson's being shopped. So

695
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: you could read into that however you will, but you

696
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: have a text or or some tweeter messaging about not

697
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: even trying that hard. At late late in the year

698
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: as well, it was a strange snapchat on another player's

699
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: device where he was said he was looking forward to

700
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: well he was saying it was something like F this game,

701
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: but he said it was like F this guy, and

702
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: he was referring like a reply you know, I don't know,

703
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: I can't even keep up on style. It was some

704
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: type of snapchat minutia that he got. He thought was

705
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: he was unfairly I mean, the crazy thing is, after

706
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: his second season, we would have ranked him as one

707
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: of the most valuable defensive line contracts in the NFL,

708
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: and more would you rather have than Sheldon Richardson kind

709
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: of coming off that great second year. Mark's great fear

710
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: of like players leaving and becoming great elsewhere. I know

711
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen to Sheldon Richard if he gets his

712
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: head on straight and gets to play in the right position,

713
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: if he goes to Oakland where you could fit in

714
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: nicely with the team. You mean, they're not gonna make

715
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: him a three d pound linebacker. They need to the

716
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: Jesse need to figure they got to get rid of

717
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 1: one of these guys. And I'm talking about Wilkerson or Richardson,

718
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't rule out them thinking about Wilkerson. Is

719
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: that guy they had this amazing line and now they

720
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: keep It's like Snacks is gone. Now you gotta get

721
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: rid of one of dates. So you're gonna get to

722
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: the point where you don't what were there the sons

723
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: of anarchy, Harrison, Wilkerson and Richardson? What was what a

724
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: special time it was? You still got Lenny Williams though, yeah,

725
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: he's not a son. He's the type of guy teams

726
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: should be going after because he's done it there. You

727
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: don't need to project whether he can be a good

728
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: NFL player. He has been. Well, you have Richard Sherman

729
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: third on this list that surprised is that going to happen?

730
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: So that means you mean you're saying by number three

731
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: you feel like he will probably be traded. There's a

732
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: decent chance to you, more than decent. I feel like

733
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: three through six on this list, they're all kind of

734
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: like chance they get traded slightly less than not the

735
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: rare fort split offered up by West here. Well, if

736
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: all six were traded, that would be quite an active draft.

737
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks should probably be higher. I just don't know

738
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: if anybody will give up much for him, which is

739
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: a surprise because just a couple of years ago, guys

740
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: were talking about him being one of the best, you

741
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: know for three linebackers in the NFL, and then they

742
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: went to a different defense, and now he doesn't fit.

743
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: But Michael Kendricks, he's got some upside too. Maybe I'll

744
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: move him up to three by the time I published.

745
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: I think that makes ends, just because they really don't

746
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: have a spot for him, and they seem to want

747
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: to trade him, and and like Richardson, but certainly at

748
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: a lower level, like he's shown he's a good NFL player,

749
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: and he's not old Malcolm Butler here at four below Sherman.

750
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: So now you're kind of is the conventional wisdom. Now

751
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: that he stays. His restricted tender is due to be

752
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: signed at the end of this week. He is not

753
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: at voluntary practice. He's what's thet I don't think they

754
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: have a great one unless it's a really good offer.

755
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: So I think if I were the Patriots would just

756
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: keep What about if one of these Bill Barnwell had

757
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: an interesting mock draft where it was every single entreach

758
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 1: made major trade and there was a huge three way

759
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: trade between the Patriots, the Browns, and the Saints that

760
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: ended up with Malcolm Butler finally ending up in New Orleans. Like,

761
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: maybe it needs to be more than just a simple,

762
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, pick for Malcolm Butler type. Barnwell actually wrote

763
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: that piece at the Browns complex in his office. Apparently

764
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: you don't see raids in the NFL, but it was

765
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: a fun reason you have at number six Alfred Morris,

766
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: which is I forgot Alfred Moore has existed, So it's

767
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: good to see if he's just oh he's it's click.

768
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: He's just on here for click name players on the list.

769
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: You know, the Cowboys are shopping him. There was a

770
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: report in early March that they're trying to get something

771
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: for him. They resigned Darren McFadden to be Zeke Elliott's backup,

772
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: so there, Alfred Morris probably will not be on the

773
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys roster, whether that's by release or trade. Can he play?

774
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: I thought he looked really good in preseason in the

775
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: first few weeks last year. I just think it was

776
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: a bad fit. Like when you take Zeke off the field,

777
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: you probably want a change of pace guy or a

778
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: guy who's really good in the passing game, and Alfred

779
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: Morris is really he needs the ball two fifty times

780
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 1: be good for him to go somewhere else he needs. Yeah,

781
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: he needs a change of scenery for sure. I mean

782
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's not good in the passing game. I'm not.

783
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they can get anything for him, not

784
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: even like like between the tackles, not even like a

785
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: Lendale Whitely move up ten spots and you move about

786
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: like a subscription to People magazine. I feel like people

787
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: would rather have a fifth round draft pick then Alfred Morris.

788
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: To answer your question, West, People Magazine is still around.

789
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: They published a story on their website that UM said

790
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: that I was the owner of the Patriots. Really so

791
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: they they have no auditorial board, but they're publishing stories.

792
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: So they're on the way down. O. Wait, that was

793
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: entertainment tonight. I apologize people, people, Hey, people of people.

794
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm not singling out people. I'm just surprised

795
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: that magazines exist in alright, not not I just I

796
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: just um looked up people dot com just to confirm.

797
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's always good to have a second source. UM,

798
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: A little bit of breaking news here, Brad Pitt keeps

799
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: it casual during rare sighting outside his art studio in

800
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: l A. That's on the lead lead of that's their

801
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: featured story. That's essentially in their world. That's like Jimmy

802
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: g getting traded right now, people come back to us.

803
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I want them to be reported. It feels

804
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: right in their wheelhouse Brad Pitt's clothing. But doesn't that

805
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: feel like maybe the bottom of the stack, like best

806
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: case scenario, top headline piece, but the featured story on

807
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: the above the fold you want like zac Efron in

808
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: like insane breakup with Fiery X. Well, I think like

809
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: this is the editor makes you write about Tebow portion

810
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: of their website. I think that feels like the entire

811
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: you know, publication. Right, maybe the writer has some editorial

812
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: leverage of his own where he could just say, look,

813
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm not writing about Brad Pitt's closed today. I mean,

814
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: in their defense, they have a picture along with it,

815
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, he kept it pretty casual. Um, I have

816
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: some more breaking duds. It was interesting, okay again reading

817
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: their headline, She's back Alison Sweeney is returning to days

818
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: of our lives. Well, I know that I can breathe

819
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: a sigh of relief. Legend. Okay, uh oh, here's so

820
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: you have three quarterbacks at the bottom of this list,

821
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 1: West A J. Mccaren, Jimmy Garoppolo, Kirk Cousins. Mark. I'll

822
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: ask you put them in order from most likely to

823
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: be traded in the next ten days to least likely. Well,

824
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: I can't disagree with what West is putter. I think

825
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: that a J. McCarron, it sounds like the Bengals would

826
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: potentially be open to that, and Jimmy g sounds like

827
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: it would be an ultra expensive and the Patriots aren't

828
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: particularly interested in doing it. And Kirk Cousins is staying

829
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: in Washington. You gotta convince me otherwise. So he had

830
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: him seven, eight, and ten. I like what he had

831
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: a number nine too. I I had I get the

832
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: sense the Bengals over value mccaren to such an extent

833
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: that he's not going to be traded, And every reporting

834
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: from every reporter is that Garoppolo is simply not on

835
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: the market. I mean, we were either because there was

836
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: a certain point where you were skeptical of if the

837
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: Patriots were just sort of playing this as a game.

838
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: But now I think we've reached the point where if

839
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: he was traded, we'd all be surprised. This is like

840
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: people are, we've bought this, I've bought it personally, that

841
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: that they really just aren't going to trade it. Doesn't

842
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: it feel like Cleveland's I mean, who knows what's happening

843
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but there's no smoke there either. They've

844
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: kind of gone quiet on that on their side. Rap

845
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: sheets latest reporting on this issue is that the Browns

846
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: have made it clear they intend to make one last

847
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: run at Jimmy garoppolo, but they're not holding out a

848
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of hope. Can someone fill me in on why

849
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: a j mccaren would be a hot property for anyone?

850
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: What he would he would fit potentially in Cleveland, not

851
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: as a I don't think a long term answer. But

852
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: he knows Hugh Jackson's offense, they like each other, and

853
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: so there's that that that's long term answer. Well, the

854
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: answer is Cody Kesler and Tom Savage. Is why a

855
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: Jim McCarron might appeal to some people? Yeah, maybe this

856
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: year's class of quarterbacks. Unless you're in love with one

857
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: of them, you don't. He showed some things. I mean

858
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: McCarron had a decent little run like a game and

859
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: a half. And since we are well and so did

860
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Jimmy G had a spectacular game and a half.

861
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean McCarron started what six games he played for

862
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: a while, did not play that that well. In that

863
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: playoff Aaron looked like a high end backup. Jimmy G

864
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: looked like when he played, he looked like a top

865
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks well. And that's why, Jimmy G, when you

866
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: talk about coming back to New England with another offer,

867
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to blow them away. And that's why

868
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't think New England can completely close the door,

869
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: because this is this is the best thing in the

870
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: world for them. What if you come back with something

871
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: you never you thought you would get for a guy

872
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: that has the same agent as Tom Brady and probably

873
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: doesn't want both of them on the roster next year,

874
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: so after this season, so you're necessarily gonna keep Jimmy

875
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: G unless you choose to franchise in which is incredibly expensive.

876
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: The agent is Don Yee correct, Hey don Now we

877
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:18,959
Speaker 1: want a cookbook? Right, Hey, buddy, you got a good life.

878
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's your number. One client, Jimmy Garoppolo is gonna

879
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: get a hundred million dollars in a couple of years.

880
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: How about just send a cookbook to be Around the

881
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: NFL team. Send it over to Mark Seessler. He's been

882
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: looking for it. Nobody will get back to him on it.

883
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: The guy just wants a cookbook, the Tom Brady Cookbook.

884
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: That's two hundred bucks. Just send it to us and

885
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: and Mark will talk about the cookbook, and there's your

886
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: promotion and in lieu of two hundred dollars support Mark's health.

887
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: Pretty easy arrangement for him. I believe it seems like

888
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: a reasonable request. Don got a bunch of them sitting

889
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: around in plastic. If anyone's listening to this podcast that

890
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: knows Don Yee, please let him know that the Around

891
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast is nicely asking for one of brady

892
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: stupid cookbooks. And finally you have Eric Decker at number nine.

893
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: Another jet, And this one makes a lot of sense

894
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: to me. I can play if he comes back from

895
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: these surgeries not too old yet, he's gonna be I

896
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: feel like he could help someone and that that would

897
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: not cost a lot. Again, he's so low on the

898
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: list because you don't often see trades for a guy

899
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: who's months away from being able to pass a physical right.

900
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's coming off some serious injuries. I mean

901
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: a hip surgery on top of another surgery is no,

902
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: no joke. I would think if he was healthy, he

903
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: would be the type of type of guy that they

904
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: could get a little something for, maybe a move down

905
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: in the draft or a low pick, because he's been productive,

906
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: and it really sounds like they are going to get

907
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: rid of him, because two separate Jets reporters wrote within date,

908
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: within the same day of each other, that they thought

909
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: Decker was not going to be on the team one

910
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: way or an. There they're getting that it doesn't make

911
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: any sense for him to be on the team. They're

912
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: in a total rebuild. They actually have some nice young

913
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: pieces at wide receiver to try to develop. So h

914
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: I hope and I like Decker. That was such a

915
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,719

971
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: update on the Shield? Oh? Yeah, thank you for the

972
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: Shield opened the season with a twenty seven to seven

973
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: win over Barney's beanery and absolute she lacking. I was

974
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: as the manager of the team. I was very pleased

975
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: by the way that we started the season. The opponent

976
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: was not the same opponent that we defeated in the

977
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: finals last year, even though it was being played by

978
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: the same or representing the same bar But to me,

979
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: that was a smaller picture thing. The big picture thing

980
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: is that everyone was hitting. Everybody was crisp in the field,

981
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: We didn't play a sloppy game. We got pepper spray

982
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: in there. Uh West your Thoughts. Game one of the

983
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: Shield a seven win. It was the best case scenario.

984
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: The best case. Best case for me being that the

985
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: team we played in the championship game that rolled through

986
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: the regular season last year with like a thirteen and

987
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: one record, they were a vestige of their former team.

988
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: They had like they had like four players left from

989
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: that team. So I think we broke them. We actually

990
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: broke the restaurant industry. Maybe all those people at Barney's

991
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 1: after you destroyed them in the final and an unprecedented

992
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: tale in the softball world, they scattered two new restaurants,

993
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: new bars. My favorite part of the game is hearing

994
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: from one of the members on their team that they

995
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: found the article all that Lawn on NFL dot com

996
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: talking about UH the Shield's victory last year and passed

997
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: it around amongst themselves and they thought it was great.

998
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: Their bullet material did not help them. No, they should.

999
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: They should refrain from bullets and board material going forward.

1000
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: We are My assessment, Dan is that we are in

1001
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: much better shape this April than last April. But in

1002
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: no way I'm am I using that game as a

1003
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: measuring stick of where we are tenant to I would

1004
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: be thrilled to go eight and four playoffs. Either way

1005
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: you get to do is get into the dance, defend

1006
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: the crown, baby, I start, Greg, were you happy? You

1007
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: weren't happy with your made a couple of outs? You know,

1008
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: so I'll be better. And you know, if you're gonna

1009
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: make a couple outs, do it in a game where

1010
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: you win to seven. So I'm it's just good to

1011
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: be part of the team. Greg's organized sports. He's a

1012
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: little hard of himself. That one hit that he had

1013
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: was a right handed hitting very of etro slapping it

1014
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 1: to the opposite field. It was it was a piece

1015
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: of art. I think, Greg, if this were the Patriots,

1016
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 1: who would you be? Brandon Bolden, I'm sure you're better.

1017
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: You're better than very humble, pepper Spray, very humble. All right,

1018
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: let's go. Uh this is Danny had the signing off

1019
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: for a Quiet Storm, the mail Man, pepper Spray and

1020

Speaker 1: new Money behind the glass til Wednesday,
