Speaker 1: the grid. Well it's the one we you have to

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: ignore Twitter. I did. There was a like a heavy

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: collection of volatile tweets about Connor or on the podcast,

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: so I've got to go back and listen to whatever

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: happened there. But I'm not just talking about social media.

Speaker 1: I mean Playboy was off the grid life, tell us

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,320

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: I'll just get get us going that way before an

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: NFL Now video hit this morning that you picked up

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: a hitchhiker on the way to a mountain, which has

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: not been done since nineteen seventy four. Well this is

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: great because Dan made a joke. What you know, you're

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: picking up vagrants off the street and you were like, well,

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: actually I did pick up a hitchhiker. Like you nailed

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: it before you even said well, you guys were categorizing

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the person site that's seen as some sort of hobo

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: slash drifter. You describe the way you described her. It

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: sounded like she had a bindle stick over her shoulders.

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Well it was. It was. I was driving up to

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Big Baron. If you don't live in California, it's basically

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: about two hours away from Los Angeles, and you gotta

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: go up these windy mountains to get to this little town.

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a ton of pullovers and pulled over

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: and I saw this older woman like far away walking

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: up the street or this highway with a bunch of

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: carrying a bunch of stuff, and she seemed tired and

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: so I just asked her, do you need like a ride?

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: I was really close to big bear itself, and she

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: said yes, would you mind? And so she got in.

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: I drove her about a mile. She got to walk

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: a mile and a half uphill to her little home.

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Why was she in these dire straits? I don't She

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: sounded like she got dropped off by some mountain bus.

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I didn't get the full Did

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: you get any idea that it was perhaps a felon

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and heavy process. No, she did not have a felon

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: vite her. She was like a homeowner who was probably,

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: like early seventies, a lot of dangerous. I'm not saying

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: it was like your main reason for picking up, but

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: was there a five percent part of you that when

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you came picking up, you're like, well, this could make

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: the day more interesting. It's more like, let's say she

58
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: were at the end of her life and she would say,

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: who am I putting in my will? Maybe this guy

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: would be someone that I secretly dropped like like thousand

61
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: dollars on down the road from whipping me when you

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: dropped her off, did she tell you to make sure

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: whenever you get to your final destination to tell the

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: people that large Marge sent you very little conversation. She

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: did not speak a lot of English. So basically what

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, I'm thankful you're alive because first of all,

67
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: it's illegal. I think what you did, we won't report

68
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: it to the authorities. I don't think you could pick

69
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: up hitchhikers anymore. I think that's what happened was with

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: the HR Department Again. Back in the fifties and earlier decades. Earlier,

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: it was very normal to go hitchhiking, but then people

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: started getting iced on the regular. Between the Manson family hitchhiking. Man,

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: you should know that better than anyone. Mark, I know,

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: but it's I think part of anyone who's going to

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: pick up a hitchhiker. You want to use your judgment,

76
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: and she seems safe, and I was correct. That's what

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people have said, who have we're killing

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: at the hands of past. Please don't make a habit

79
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: of it, that's all Mark, I don't want you to perish.

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: I'll use my judgment. I know what our Twitter quote

81
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: is going to be for this show, though people were

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: getting iced on the regular. Ash Dan Hand, who is

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: that clicking on that? That's true? All right, this is

84
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: so welcome back, Mark and safe and sound back in

85
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: Studio sixty six, and we're happy to have you back today.

87
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: of news to catch up on. There's not a lot

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: a club assault. Uh, you know, some somebody goes missing. Uh.

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: Everything was pretty much uh even keel this weekend a

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend here in the US. It was. There

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: was a period where I spent about an hour writing

95
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: as Shan Trelle Henderson Bill's tackle goes missing, and then

96
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: four minutes after I published it was like, oh no, wait,

97
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: he's fine. We found him so unpublished and wasted my time.

98
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Everybody was busy watching great basketball over the weekend. Yes, yes,

99
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: of course the Golden State Warriors are the big Game

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: seven victory. The game six fourth quarter was phenomenal. We

101
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: watched that at hands this manner we did. We had

102
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: a nice get together, um I thought, Greg and several

103
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: others overstayed. They're welcome personally. As I woke up a

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: couple of times and I opened my eyes on the

105
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: couch and there are people still in my house, and

106
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I was like, guys, uber, I got to know what Dan. Yeah,

107
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: when Dan has people over, you gotta know that once

108
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Dan starts to shut down, you gotta get out of there.

109
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: It's over. My wife is jealous of me because I

110
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: could fall asleep instantly at any time. There's no insomnia Ish.

111
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: I know Mark, you battle insomnia as well. But once

112
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: the old Zeusa is ready to move on to the

113
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: next day, it's gone. Yeah, that day's gone. It was

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: alarming when Dan suddenly woke up, had a hot take

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: on Believe Land, which we were watching at the time,

116
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: and then path back out that I've KNOWNE to do that.

117
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: It was like mid snore. I've been known to do

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,919

Speaker 1: segment called NFL's Best Kept Secrets colon Making the Leap

124
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: Sneak Peek, and then there was some discussion downstairs whether

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: it should actually be called Making the Leap Sneak Peek.

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: Cole in NFL's Best Kept Secrets. I don't know where

131
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Did you like Western's suggestion? I do, although that would

132
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: my guy would not fit the Making the Leap version

133
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,480

00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: idiotic things I've ever heard. All Right, let's start listen.

156
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: This is the news that's rocking the entire nation. The

157
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls moving, guys. The league's all star game, which

158
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: has been held in uh Aloha Stadium over there in

159
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Hawaii every season, or nearly every season since nineteen seventy nine,

160
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: is going to be calling Orlando home in uh ian

161
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: rapp report reported that it is the first year in

162
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the two thousand and seventeen of a multi year deal

163
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: to play the game in Central Florida. Listen, whenever you

164
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: have a chance to move the game to Central Florida,

165
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. Uh. There will be a press

166
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: conference to dig more into. But there was a report

167
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: that came out on Tuesday from Pete Schreegor Shreig bomb

168
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: Over at Fox Sports, UH that the they will be

169
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: ditching the draft that they've been doing the last few years,

170
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: last three years, uh and going back to back to

171
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: conference play a f C versus NFC. Mark, you're shaking

172
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: your well, none of us in this room. I think

173
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: that the Pro Bowl has a lot of tangible value,

174
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: but it's it's especially concerning just three years after the

175
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: league made a huge to do about the fact that

176
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: they've found ways to make the Pro Bowl more competitive,

177
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: more compelling, and we're gonna drawl everyone back to the

178
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Mothership to play this game. They're gonna want to play

179
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: this game. We'll get Peyton Manning to talk to him

180
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: beforehand and get them riled up. And then just three

181
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: years later, they're saying everything that we came up with

182
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: is bunk. We're going to go back to the old method. Well,

183
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: you could, I mean, you could argue that they tried something,

184
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: and they were at least smart enough to realize that

185
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: it wasn't really flying. So now they're going to go

186
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: back to it. I just I'm more surprised because it

187
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: is a multi year deal. I thought this game was done.

188
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Close it down. Apparently they're they're going one last shot

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: at it, moving it to a different site and going

190
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: back to the old I don't know if it works,

191
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: but they're gonna give it one more shot. Orlando Arrivals

192
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: La Las Vegas has the armpit of America? WHOA, I mean,

193
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: come on, have you been there? About our listeners? I

194
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: have driven through. You haven't even been there, of course not.

195
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: Why would That's just showing some ignorance. I haven't been

196
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: there really either, But well, actually that's where you and

197
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: I jogged together during the owner's meetings, and it was delightful.

198
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: I think speaking a fan hotel was nice. The Pro

199
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: Bowl and Disney World are aiming at the same exact

200
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: same audience, so it's probably a good movie. People watch

201
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. I mean we say it every time

202
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: that it gets it gets huge ratings. You do worry

203
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: about players? Are they more likely to show up for

204
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl in Orlando than they are in Hawaii.

205
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It was a vacation closer, but

206
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: it's a lot less cool than you would think than

207
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: Also factor this and yeah, it was a vacation. Everybody

208
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: loves to go to Hawaii. Was is Hawaii on your radar? Okay?

209
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: But what about guys like Tyler Iffort. You see Tyler

210
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: Irford mess up his foot and now he's he's the

211
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: beginning of seasons in doubt. You have to factor that

212
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: into I mean, I don't know five years from now,

213
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: is the Pro Bowl exists us? Yes, Mark II Lean no,

214
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: because Goodell really has been the one leading the charge.

215
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: I would say in terms of the net That's what

216
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: I thought until today, until we learned this. The game

217
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: is not going away this year, So they're coming up

218
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: with another way. I'm sure there's revenue stream. Can they

219
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: make money from it? Then it's not going Yeah, well

220
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: the TV networks do. I've got one very quick fix

221
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: that would solve the Pro Bowl. You you vote people

222
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: in the way they should and you want Aaron Rodgers

223
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, and if they refuse to go, they

224
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: will be suspended for the first four games of the

225
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: next season. You ensure that you have your all star

226
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: roster out there, no boxes on what if they're playing

227
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl? Do they get that is the

228
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: only group of people that would be frowned on suspension

229
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: for those guys, Yes, they should still be playing in

230
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. That's suspension would make as much sense

231
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: as a Tom Brady suspension. I can't believe no one's

232
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: brought up the real losers here because we're still talking

233
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: about we're gonna have to do winners and losers. Uh,

234
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a big podcast special and article about

235
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: what about all the Team Sanders fans out there. I've

236
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: I've been out there. I have my Team Sanders. I've been,

237
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, building up this roster. I've been I've been

238
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: excited to see it year after year. Now it's nothing.

239
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: They're just give away. This is like when the Browns

240
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: left Cleveland. Well, you know, I've always been team Irvin,

241
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: So I can't get behind that sentiment. Uh. Moving on

242
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: to oh, my New York Jets and their quarterback issues.

243
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: Uh it you know, to this point, or as of

244
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: the end of last week, we didn't really know much

245
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: about the negotiations between the Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick only

246
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: that they weren't going well. We've got a little more.

247
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: UH insight and clarity on the situation started leaking to

248
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: the media. I wonder how that happened. NFL media insider

249
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Ian rapp Report reported Friday that in March, the Jets

250
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: offered Fitzpatrick a three year deal that includes twelve million

251
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: in his first season. According to a source of knowledge

252
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: of the situation, UH, the other two years of the deal,

253
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: it's a three year deal worth twenty four million, and

254
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: then with with escalators, the type of escalators and incentives

255
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: that are impossible to reach. From what I understand, it

256
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: could get up to thirty six millions. So really one

257
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: year twelve million dollar, which still puts him below market

258
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: value for a veteran starting quarterback. But it also to

259
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: me is or you know, obviously to everyone, a lot

260
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: better than the eight million dollar offer that we heard

261
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: floating around. UH. Fits should take the deal, right, wes?

262
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean what, honestly, I'm looking through all of the teams.

263
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: How can there be any other alternative for him? What

264
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: other team would have him? Well, here's and then you

265
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: have Niche Meta of The New York Delhi News reported

266
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. That fits his quote amenable to spurning the

267
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: Jets on principle and taking less money elsewhere, citing sources

268
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: and Jets players. That wouldn't shock me if he was

269
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: so miffed at the Jets for treating him unfairly that

270
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: he decided to out of spite, signed with another team.

271
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: I just can't think of another team that would where

272
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: he makes sense right now doesn't exist. He's counting on

273
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: a few things he's cutting on. An injury would be

274
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: the only possibility. I don't know what injury that would

275
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: be exactly, but a team that he could somehow fit

276
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: with that a guy gets hurt in mini camps and

277
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: maybe a better offer comes along, it doesn't exist right now.

278
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: The other thing is he's in his mid thirties. These

279
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: are voluntary workouts. He doesn't want to be there. Lots

280
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: of players don't want to be there, so why be

281
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: there if he doesn't like it? Does seem though, that

282
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: not even just based on the latest thing from Miniche,

283
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: but that Fitzpatrick and the Jets obviously not on the

284
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: same page, and maybe at his point his career, he

285
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: does feel disrespected, and it wouldn't be shocking to see

286
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: him wind up somewhere else. I'm sure he does feel dispected.

287
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: But at a certain point, you're you know, cutting off

288
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: your nose despite your face. I mean, you're not going

289
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: to get a starting job most likely anywhere else. The

290
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: Jets are a team that can fight for the playoffs.

291
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: We saw it last year. So it's a good roster

292
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: to be a be a part of. And twelve million

293
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: dollars is okay if sixteen millions kind of the average,

294
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: but that's not terrible. Sixty million is the low point

295
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: because Colin Kaepernick's making more than him Ryan Tannehill is making.

296
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: But I mean kind of like, yeah, for the very

297
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: average starting quarterback, but what is the jets southern move?

298
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: He also, as much as criticism as Fitzpatrick is taking,

299
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: the Jets have no backup movie either. If they go

300
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: into the season with Gino Smith as their starting quarterback,

301
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: that that's not that's a disaster and they get they

302
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: get killed by their own fan base. And I could

303
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: promise you now, and I've seen it happen enough with

304
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: with this franchise that if they start one in four,

305
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: guys like Brandon Marshall are gonna start chirping and the

306
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: whole thing can go up in flames. Just get the

307
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: deal done, guys. Moving on, Rob Ryan and Rex Ryan

308
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: had a Q and A with Jenny Brentis of the

309
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Monday Morning Quarterback website that really um was entertaining to

310
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: say the least. Uh. It came out on Friday morning,

311
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: and instead of the story that you would think would

312
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: focus on the two brothers working together and moving forward

313
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: together as Greg as you put it in your your piece,

314
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: a lot of it, at least especially on Rob Ryan's side,

315
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: was about settling scores and kind of trying to clear

316
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: his name after what happened in New Orleans. Uh. Rob

317
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: Bryan had this to say about the Saints struggles that

318
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: led to his firing last season. Oh we are dead

319
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: last in defense. Well yeah, you're gonna be dead last

320
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: pulling this bull s defense. But it is my fault

321
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't say anything. I never set up, stood

322
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: up and said, f you, I ain't coaching this. I

323
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: promise you I'd say it now and then Greg and

324
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: I'll let you take over after this. Uh. Although there's

325
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: many quotes that we could talk about, he threw poor

326
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: poor uh Jaris Bird under the bus in a big

327
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: spot model. He said, this a bird. I think everything

328
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: starts with the head coach and gets higher than that.

329
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: They signed players. They signed a free agent safety that's

330
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: Bird and said we're going to keep him in the

331
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: middle of the field like the goal post. Well that's great,

332
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna make one playback there. And now we

333
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: have changed the entire defense for one signing and it

334
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: ruined us. And that was just the beginning, right and

335
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: he followed that up right after that. He's a great guy.

336
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: You know, nothing can do that. Nothing again, nothing against

337
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: jareds Uh. You could understand the frustration, but that he

338
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: was basically not a part of the Jared's Bird signing

339
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: for instance, that he has to change to this three

340
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: deep look that's not really what the Ryan brothers does does.

341
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: And he just feels so insecure and so sick of

342
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: everyone burying him that he wants to just throw the

343
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: blame on Sean Payton, even though it's in the middle

344
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: of the off season. But it just was crazy to

345
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: hear both him and Rex Ryan just talking about last

346
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: year like they cannot get over it. I mean, they

347
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: just it's just such a Rob Robin Rex Ryan type

348
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: of thing. It's a fascinating article and because you don't

349
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: you don't hear NFL coaches bear their souls like this,

350
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: and it end up. You know, there were some gems

351
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: in there, but it was also a lot of just

352
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: relentless blustering and excuse making. Well. He also said at

353
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: one point, Rob Ryan called Rex Ryan the greatest defensive

354
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: coach in the history of the NFL. Just check the numbers,

355
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: go look at the stats. If you look at the

356
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: stats in terms of rankings, he's higher up. And I'm like,

357
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: what what rankings are these? Can you be more specific?

358
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Because they mentioned Belichick by name and everything. He's like,

359
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: this is the greatest defensive coordinator in the history of

360
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. If you look at the rankings, I want

361
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: to see. I'm sure some pr release for the Bills

362
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: put together something where Rex Ryan comes out on top,

363
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: but I have no idea what those rankings are. It

364
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: bothered me. The Rob Ryan stuff is he's a satellite

365
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: who's protected now by his brother and he can sort

366
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: of say whatever he wants. These guys have one speed,

367
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: and it's burn Bridges. Because when Rob when Rex Ryan

368
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: conversely was talking about the fact that, oh, I think

369
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: there's still people inside our own building that don't believe

370
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: in me. And I'm just thinking, if you are a

371
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: fan of the Bills, or if you're a fan of

372
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: any team and your coach starts spouting off like that

373
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: and shows an utter lack of control, yes they're entertaining,

374
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: but it is completely unhinged, and it's just a higher

375
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: speed of what we saw from Rex Ryan last season.

376
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: I was reading this thing in a youth hostel and

377
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: I could not believe what I was seeing. It was

378
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: almost like a fictional interview because they were both so

379
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: far off the rails that they've just become a caricature

380
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: of themselves and they're and they're taking shots of just

381
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: like the people. No, I mean, they just are an

382
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: embarrassing to me. We had a little bit of a

383
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: debate in the newsroom last week because you know, you

384
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: can take the stance and I believe this is dance

385
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: stance that the NFL is a more fun league with

386
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: a colorful character. But I'm with Mark like he's to me,

387
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: he's no longer colorful. He's just ceaselessly blustering. It's the

388
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: same stuff over and over and over again. You're the

389
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: CEO of your team. You're the voice, you're the You're

390
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: the person that has to go out and represent it,

391
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: and so it's a risk if you do this sense.

392
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: This is more a Rob Bryant thing, although I don't know,

393
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: there's plenty of Rexinent. It is more Rob Ryan, but

394
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: there is plenty of Rexinent. And it's showing to me,

395
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: has this guy learned anything about how yes, when they

396
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: were with the Jets in the going, like he was

397
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: a person who even wants to learn when it comes

398
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: to this issue his own blustering right. Well, the thing

399
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: that bothers me is they always talk about taking responsibility,

400
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: they want their players to do that, and they're always

401
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: coming up with excuses. Even Rex Ryan said that wasn't

402
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: really the Rex Ryan defense. We were running until the

403
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: end of the season when some players are and that's

404
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: when that's when I really started doing it. And he

405
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: started saying, well, I had players Torell Suggs and and

406
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: all the old Ravens players. They would drop into coverage,

407
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: they would do whatever. I didn't have the right players

408
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: when it came to Mario. I get what both West

409
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: and Mark are saying, and it is sometimes it's exhausting.

410
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: But give me Rex and Rob Bryan Jim Caldwell any

411
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: day of the week. Fun. It's just like this is

412
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be fun following the sport and you have

413
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: these guys, it makes it fun to root against them

414
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: if you choose to, or you get behind it because

415
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: you like a guy that likes to talk with bravado.

416
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: So I think there's two also like it's also like

417
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: the Bennett brothers. It's the fact that the media treats

418
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: these guys like if a word comes out of their mouth,

419
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: we have to act like it's the most dane to

420
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: make explosive statement of all time. No, it's just Rex

421
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: Ryan being Rex Ryan. I want to circle back to

422
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: one of the explosive statements said in the last three minutes.

423
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: Why were you at a youth hostel? That's where I

424
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: stayed when I went up to the mountain. They know

425
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: I found the youth hostile they check I d s.

426
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: There isn't there like a limit for a great place

427
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: you well, no, it's that's the term that could be used.

428
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: It's basically a youth hostile slash mountain hotel and for

429
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: thirty nine dollars for one night, I had the entire

430
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: floor of a house because it's a ghost town up there.

431
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: This is all connecting the doubts now, because you have

432
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: two kids, you shouldn't be considered a youth at that

433
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: point where you it's just like some kind of band

434
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: camp for hippies. There was no one there. You got hitchhikers,

435
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: you got hostiles. It sounds like more than it is

436
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: being picked up as a hitchhiker. Picking up a hitchhiker

437
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: and staying at hostiles is like benchmarks of horror movies

438
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: through the decades. And you did it all mean at all?

439
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm connecting to the dots now, Yeah, he's done a

440
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: good job to sneaky death wash? Oh is it adrenaline?

441
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: You're looking at these? It's like the picking up the

442
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: person felt peaceful, as did the youth hostel until I

443
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: read this article. What was what do you think it

444
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: was more dangerous? Was the staying at the hostel, the

445
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: deserted hostile up in the mountains, or picking up the

446
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: stranger that's definitely hitchhiker. You haven't You don't know what

447
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: you're bargaining for when you pick up a random matter,

448
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: how old are kind of walking up a Mountain. Well,

449
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: you got to assess the person in live time, and

450
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: you know I was seeing what I was seeing. She

451
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: was not a threat. She was in need. Never change, Mark,

452
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Uh. Dion Jordan's you may remember him.

453
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: The Dolphins once went insane and traded up to go

454
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: get Uh, the supposed pass rusher with the number three

455
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: overall picking the draft. Uh. He struggled to make an impact.

456
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: He wasn't big enough for strong enough, and then he

457
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: got into some trouble where it failed a drug test,

458
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: which triggered an indefinite band. Phil failed multiple drug tests UH,

459
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: a band that started in December two thousand fourteen. He

460
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: is eligible to apply for reinstatement on Wednesday, and that's

461
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. This is what he told Tom

462
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: Pellicero of USA Today's Sports. I'm not about to waste it.

463
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: I can't waste it, and I bleeping love doing it.

464
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love running out in front of thirty thirty

465
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: thirty thousand plus fans and you can get that rush.

466
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: You like the rush? Mark, We know that fans. Where

467
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: are we playing the game? Miami late in the season.

468
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: He's he's only twenty six years old. His agents said

469
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: that Jordan hasn't mr failed the drug test since his

470
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: band began last April, and he's been working with a

471
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: trainer named Tereka Zeem whose holistic program strives to quote

472
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: maximize humanity. Mark Cessler well and this is Zim character

473
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: who's worked with Marshawn Lynch in the past. According to

474
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: this article, he confronts his teammates and quotes with the

475
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: inevitability of death, what they need to be content when

476
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: it arrives, and the way their fears are preventing them

477
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: from reaching the next year. Also, Jordan's here has lost

478
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: twelve to thirteen pounds of fat, He's trimmed down. He's

479
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: not failed a drug test it since he was obviously

480
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: since the band started. All I'd say is, if this

481
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: is legit, it is at some point this clicked in

482
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: with him, because there's a lot of Justin Blackman's out there.

483
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: There's you got I mean, give me a break out,

484
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon hanging out with Johnny Manzel. If this guy,

485
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: who I thought would have been the last of the

486
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: of the group to come back, maybe he's getting serious.

487
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

488
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Wasn't he the same guy that inspired uh post last

489
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: year Dion Jordan's muscles look like they're bulging out of

490
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: his out of his look like and then he failed

491
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: a PD test right after that. The description wasn't looked

492
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: like somebody inflated his shoulder and then he well, and

493
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: that's how that all came to be. But I mean,

494
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: do we do you? I look at this. I read

495
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: it because I wrote in I saw some effort. I

496
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: see some effort. Sounds like Tarik a Zeum here the

497
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: personal trainer needs a job with Ricky Williams Weed Jim Well.

498
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: I like. I like the whole Zeum thing is more

499
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: fascinating to me that it's part of your physical training

500
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: to confront the inevitability of death. And this guy works

501
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: with m M A Fighters, he works with forty CEO

502
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: Jed York. I've always wanted that to be part of

503
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: my managerial status, you know, strategy like confront death. Guys.

504
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Remember we're only here once. This is it. So if

505
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: you're not having a good make it happene review I

506
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: had with Greg was just twenty minutes of them yelling

507
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: at me, You're gonna die, You're gonna die. You're gonna die.

508
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure it out, but now I know. It

509
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: all goes back to the great Stage Tariq Azeem. I

510
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: buy into him. Sorry you're in, so you buy it

511
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: into a Zem or Dion Jordan. I think the Zeum thing.

512
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: If someone if I could like go for a hundred

513
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: days and hang out with this guy, I think there

514
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: would be something good happened. On the other end, the

515
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: same would nine X to hang out with his Well,

516
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: I essentially did not do p ninety X since I've

517
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: last been in this studio. You don't have to start

518
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: with in your vacation. Well, I guess vacation was anything

519
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: I was doing. I'm not doing anymore eight X, so

520
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: you're back on ninety X. This I mean Dean and George.

521
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: That was kind of a disastrous draft, so there were

522
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: no right answers. But he was the bell of the

523
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: ball with Mike Mayock, with all the draft nicks who

524
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: liked his versatility. He was the guy people didn't really

525
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: know that well and in the Mayox of the world

526
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: pushed him, helped push him super high in that draft.

527
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: Who knows the Dolphins, uh moving on? Oh and they

528
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: also just drafted a guy with a weed gas mask.

529
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: UM moving on. Walter Thurman is hanging up the old cleats.

530
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: He had a nice breakout season last year at safety

531
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. UH. People wanted him to play, but

532
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: he's deciding to retire, wording to rand Getlin, ESPN first

533
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: report of the development. UH, the Eagles have known this

534
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: for months. According to rap Sheet, UH, he had turned

535
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: down offers a four million plus pondered retirement. He missed

536
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: almost all with the torn peck, but he started sixteen

537
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: games with the Eagles last season, put up some nice production,

538
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: but he decided to move on with his career. Walter

539
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: Thurman he's got other options. He's already produced three films

540
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: and he's making He's making a documentary with Eddie LeVert,

541
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: who was the lead singer of the O J's from

542
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Soul Sound West. You'll remember that when we

543
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: we were in New York for the Super Bowl, we

544
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: got into a cab that Walter Thurman had just been

545
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: in and he just wanted to drive around and learn

546
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: about the city. And I don't I think we're in

547
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: the time period now when more and more of these

548
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: players have other options. We're going, it's not going to

549
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: be unusual two years from now to see seven or

550
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: eight good players in their twenties retire. I don't maybe

551
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: it's not just a flash in the pan. I think

552
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: that the plane for fifteen years is not now because

553
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: the money they make and a lot of these players

554
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: don't need football. It's different also, though, passing up four

555
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: million dollars when you've only made let's say, I don't

556
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's made in his career, but

557
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: certainly a lot more money than you and I. Certainly

558
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: under another four million, you know you can make some

559
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: more movies. That's true. I think that's worth pointing out.

560
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: What if you want to play for two, two or

561
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: three more years, earned some bank, and then go make

562
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: some movies. And finally, the saga of Trent Richardson, mark

563
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: you and I have sandwiches on the line about whether

564
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: he makes the team. Uh in Baltimore. Uh, this counted

565
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: as a point in my favor, I thought the latest news.

566
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Ravens coach John Harbaugh believes that the reason Trent Richardson

567
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: missed the first week of O t as um with

568
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury was because he is not right in

569
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: the conditioning department. Here's the quote from John Harbot, Trent

570
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: just needs to get healthy. I think the workload and

571
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: the amount of work it takes to be a world

572
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: class conditioned athletes still is something that he's working on

573
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: right now. That's what he needs to understand and that's

574
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: where he needs to get himself. I don't think it's funny. Well,

575
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: it's shocking to me that a heartwarming comeback story about

576
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 1: him truly getting back in shape that was highlighted by

577
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: a trip to Eyehop Popeyes double header and him getting

578
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: eight pounds before his first way and isn't working out. Yeah,

579
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: if he ever plays a Snap again, you owe me

580
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: two meals because I've already paid up, and I'm happy

581
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: that I paid up because to me, the drama is over.

582
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: If I knew what I knew now, I would never

583
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: have made this, this this gamble with you, because let's

584
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, well, the thing about him, the knocking him

585
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: coming out of of college was never he doesn't care

586
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: about the game. It was. It was completely different. So

587
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: now I thought, he's young, he's gonna get a chance,

588
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna get healthy enough and play one more Snap.

589
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: I did not realize how little he cared about his football.

590
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: A kind of knew that that was part of the

591
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: not to this degree, I I didn't. I didn't see

592
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: that he was this much of a head case where

593
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: he wouldn't he was so young. One more snap was

594
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: not a crazy thing to think, But now it is.

595
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: He stands out. When we entered the nineteen nineties, there

596
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: were still a few players who would, you know, get

597
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: fat all offseason, come to training camp and use that

598
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: to get in shape. But since players started making this

599
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: big money, part of that as you spend your off

600
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: season building your body, fine tuning it to play a

601
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: game where you're playing against all these other guys finding tuning,

602
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: fine tuning their bodies, he can't do it when you're

603
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: in Trent richardson shape. That's fair. That's what's happening in

604
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: the news. Speaking of food, Mark, you were upset about

605
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: what was going on in the huddle our office commissary

606
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: with the salad bar, which is really your lifeline when

607
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: it comes to nourishment. Well, it's it's called what it is,

608
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: it's a disaster. They there was a salad bar structure

609
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: with the you know, it held about probably eighteen tubs

610
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: of different things. You know that that was a variable

611
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: quality to begin with, depending on what day it was.

612
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: But now there's not even the actual uh shield guard

613
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: slash you know, set up for this thing. They just

614
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: put the salad out on like a folding table and

615
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: it's just sitting there in the middle of the room,

616
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: and it's basically a shot at anyone that doesn't want

617
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: to eat what is their special today, like roast beef

618
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: made from a cat's body, you know, it's a roast

619
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: beef sandwich. Well, we would never stop selling the roast

620
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: beef sandwich with like the curdled milk on the side.

621
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: But what about someone that just wants to eat some

622
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: noxious Has it been confirmed that the salad bar is

623
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: going for good? Well, there are conflicting reports. Uh we

624
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: did hear that it's coming back. I'm sure it's but

625
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: it is a concerning situation. Personal towards you, well, you're

626
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: a big ant. You're very anti cottage cheese, dude, that's

627
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: that's what You're more than anti it. Wild eyes here

628
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: it was u. It was great Mark's last day of vacation.

629
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: We had a golden opportunity to get away from the

630
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: office on Friday and we were like trying to figure

631
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: out do we want to go to like, um, what

632
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: was that was like a career in type joint or

633
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: a new restaurant that opened up in Culver City called Cannibal.

634
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: It was fantas. We gotta take advantage of this opportunity

635
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: to sessor is not there, Let's get some Cannibal. Well,

636
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, good food. With apologies that Jackson Market. They

637
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: have now been replaced by the as our go to

638
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: high octane sandwich shop. That's fair, all right, here we go.

639
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it now the NFL's Best Kept Secrets

640
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: colon Making the Leap Sneak Peek or making the Leap

641
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: Sneak Peak colon NFL's Best Kept Secrets. Anybody at home

642
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: playing along, You decide what the name of the segment is,

643
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: So choose your own adventure scenario. Uh, but what we'll

644
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: do And then if you're if you read our content

645
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com, which we hope you do, and

646
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: we talked about it on the show. Every summer we

647
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: have are making the Leap series where we highlight and identify,

648
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: sometimes correctly, sometimes incorrectly, players that are ready to take

649
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: the next step in their career progression and become either

650
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: outright stars or big time contributors where they weren't before.

651
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: So this is our little look ahead. That series doesn't

652
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: roll out till later in the summer, but right now,

653
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: let's throw out a name or two um of a

654
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: guy you have on your radar as someone who's about

655
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: to having big impact for their team. Mark, we start

656
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: with you. I am going with second year Raiders tight

657
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: end Clive Walford. I think we saw him come on

658
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: strong down the stretch last year. He completely outshine and

659
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: replace Michael Rivera, who they were trying to trade this offseason.

660
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: They've talked about Walford as someone who's, uh, I'm gonna

661
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: have an expanded role. Del Rio called him a complete player.

662
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: I think he's He's a red zone type target in

663
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: an offense that's got what it used to have, no weapons,

664
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: it's now got different options. They've got a good line,

665
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: they can run the ball. They've got a Marie Cooper,

666
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: they've got Derek Carr. I think a young tight end

667
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: fits into the mix, and I think he's gonna have

668
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna make the leap. You also see tight ends

669
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: in year one. He actually did a lot more than

670
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot of tight ends do in year one. If

671
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: you would if you take the second half of the

672
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: season and factored out over sixteen games, impressive, But a

673
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of these guys need year two or year three

674
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: to do it, and Walford's in a good situation. Do

675
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: you think you're perhaps overlooking fourth string tight end Gabe Hole.

676
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: That's the risk that I've taken. He reminds me a

677
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: little bit of Duane Allen from the Colts. There aren't

678
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: many guys we heard steep time talk about this at

679
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: the combine. Most receiving tight ends are terrible blockers, and

680
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: most blocking tight ends won't make plays in the passing games.

681
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: I think Clive Walford can handle both of those rules.

682
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: He's about six four to sixty, built to handle kind

683
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: of the poor man's Gronk rule. And yet, and now

684
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: that we're talking about it, I think he is going

685
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: to be a strong KND for making a leap because

686
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: we all like Clive Walford. He he's a big guy. Well,

687
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: not everyone fits that. That definition will get to that later.

688
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: He's a big guy, but he gets vertical. His most

689
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: famous play was it was about a twenty five yard

690
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: touchdown from from Derek Carr. I remember that over the

691
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: shoulder catch. I mean he can, he can make a

692
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: thirty yard play. He's done a little bit of everything.

693
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: He's not just a big He did a lot more

694
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: of that in college though, But there only five players,

695
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: only five Miami Hurricanes exited their college career with the

696
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: higher yards per catch than him. But he needs to

697
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 1: improve that because he had to think it was about

698
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: eleven point eight last year with the Raiders. All right,

699
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: mark over under game for your man, Clive, excuse me,

700
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: looks at Walford fifty receptions over seven yards, over five

701
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: over all in Well, he's not touchdowns. Would you have

702
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: kept on saying over he's gonna have a hundred and

703
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: eighty catches if he needs to be. He might need

704
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: to be their entire offense. I thought you just said

705
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: they have weapons around. I'm kidding. He does not need

706
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: to be the entire offense. They have other parts. Clive,

707
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: he did have an a TV accident. Dan wrote in

708
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: the In the Right Show that I was reviewing Clive Owen,

709
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: so I think British Tour alright West Europe underrated Croupier

710
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: great Clive Owen. I don't know if that was all right?

711
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: The real movie starring Clive a Great movies that how

712
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: you pronounced that? You know? Yeah? The guy at the

713
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: casino constantly showing up on my Netflix? You really well,

714
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: it's I don't want well. The reason I called this

715
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: the post hype breakout stars is because it's usually what

716
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: you get with with making the leap candidates. It's also

717
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: at this time last year, the Colt if you remember

718
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: Pep Hamilton's was talking about this as the greatest shoe

719
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: on earth, that they were going to be the best

720
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. Ian Rappaport on this very podcast

721
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: said in August at Philip Dorst, Philip Dorsett, Uh, they

722
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: think they added a superstar. And when Rappaport asked the

723
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: coaches where they surprised they didn't go defense or offensive line,

724
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: the response was no, because this guy is that good.

725
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: You famously had them number two in your preseason power

726
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: pall and I think their defense has major issues. But

727
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: people are sleeping on this offense. I think Dante mont Creep,

728
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief and Philip Dorset are both big breakout candidates.

729
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: I have been thinking about the Colts offense more lately,

730
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: because you're right, I don't think people are expecting a

731
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: lot out of the Colts, and yet they still have

732
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: Andrew Lucky. They're a team I'm just fascinated to watch. Basically,

733
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: can they just run it back to two thousand fourteen

734
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: when they're scoring thirty points a game? Last year did

735
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot too. I had them going to the Super

736
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, so you weren't alone and they Everything

737
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: we thought about the Colts was kind of ruined by

738
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: the end of the year because Andrew Luck did not

739
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: have when he was playing his best games, obviously, and

740
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: then the whole thing became a completely boring soup of

741
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: football after that. I think I watched like five Cults

742
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: games down the stretch on Sundays, and they were painful,

743
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: and that's why Moncreef ended up with seven seventy yards

744
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: or something like that. He would have had a thousand

745
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: if Luck hadn't got injured. I don't think Dorist had

746
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: had a bad, totally bad year when you saw when

747
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: when they could get him the ball and when they

748
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: got to do in some things he wanted. But he

749
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: won that Titans game for him earlier in the season too.

750
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: There's um the best kept secret guys, former seventh round

751
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: pick at a Saga, noaw Valley College guy everybody forgot about.

752
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: Didn't even realize he was on the roster most people

753
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: until the two thousand fourteen NC Divisional playoffs. What happened,

754
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Jeff Janis went off for seven two improved that Mike

755
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: McCarthy had overlooked a potential gem on his roster for

756
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: months upon months. In fact, I will cite guys somebody

757
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: that's respected I know, uh deeply within the Around the

758
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: NFL podcast Bob McGinn over at the Milwaukee Journal Centinel,

759
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: who had this to say, it has been quote twenty

760
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: five years or more since the coach in Green Bay

761
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: made more errors and allocating playing time than Mike McCarthy

762
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: did this year. It's time to get it right, Mike.

763
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: And I know they drafted Trevor Davis in the fifth round.

764
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: I know that because I looked it up before the show.

765
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: I know they've got Jordy Nelson coming back from an

766
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: A c L. He got time Montgomery, Davante, Adams, Randall

767
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: cop a lot of guys on the roster, but Jeff

768
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: Janis deserves a shot. And I think he showed enough

769
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs that he'll get it. Damnit. Aaron Rodgers

770
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: didn't trust him to be where he's supposed to be.

771
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: I think that was a big issue. But I think

772
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: it's fair for Bob McGinn and Dan Hans has to

773
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: raise this point, like where is where is the Dean

774
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: screaming that irishman? Come on, baby? Think coaches spend I

775
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: mean it's not unusual for an NFL coach to spend

776
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: eighteen hour days crafting these game plans, and they want

777
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: things to go according to script. So when a player

778
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: like Jeff Janis who can make plays, and if you

779
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: just play him and make a few, let him make

780
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: some mistakes and let him learn on the job, you're

781
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: gonna do better than playing James Jones. And I think

782
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: that's something McCarthy NFL coaches need to kind of. It's

783
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: natural when you're spending that much time and you're crafting

784
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: these game plans to try to control everything. Sometimes you

785
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: just have to let kids make mistakes. And he's not

786
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: gonna have a thousand yards. There's too much offense. And

787
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: I think Jordy Nelson comes back healthy, we're gonna see

788
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: a totally different Packers offense this year than if if

789
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey is fit and doing Eddie Lazy things. But

790
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: I think he can have a big role on what

791
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: I believe will be the best offense. And well, it's

792
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: crazy that he was so good in the playoffs and

793
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: he literally doesn't have a hundred yards in his career

794
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: as a receiver in the regular season. That's how little

795
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: they played him. I put him number three as their

796
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: number three receiver in the Projected Starters series, which I

797
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: didn't think was overly bold, but I did get a

798
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,959
Speaker 1: lot of feedback from Packers fans that don't think he's

799
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna be the one that wins. I don't either that

800
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: job over Davante Adams. In time, Montgomery Montgomery looked pretty

801
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: good a couple of years. They love Montgomery, and they

802
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: loved Davante Adams last year until they got his chance.

803
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: If he had one of the worst seasons I've ever seen,

804
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: were gonna give him another chance instead of giving this

805
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: guy a shot after what he's showed in the playoffs.

806
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: So if you don't agree that he's the third receiver,

807
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: you don't think he's gonna break out. Because if he's

808
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: the fourth receiver. How many opportunities are getting as of

809
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: May thirty one, I would be skeptical that he's going

810
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: to be the number three receiver. A lot can happen

811
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: still in training camp. I mean, you're doing a I

812
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: hear you, but you're making the leap with someone that's

813
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: probably the third wide out bar in an injury, and

814
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: maybe the fourth and maybe fighting for a roster spot

815
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: if he continues to show the inconsistencies he had through

816
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: his career. He's been a Rhoda World wonder boy for

817
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: a long time. But at some point, you know, I'm

818
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: giving I'm giving him the better of the doubt. I

819
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: think he's gonna step up big. That should be a

820
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: good fantasy football team. I like Rhoto World wonder Boys.

821
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: I just remember them. They were all over him. Wonder Boys.

822
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: Another great movie. Yeah, Michael Douglas Kirk, No, Michael Dougas,

823
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: Katie Holmesy McGuire. All Right, Finally, Greg Rosenthal a plus

824
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: watch it again plus my top twenty all time. Alright, finally, Greg,

825
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: you you have to give us either an NFL best

826
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 1: kept secret or someone that's a sneak peak of making

827
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: It was a hard it was a hard thing to

828
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: think about. Best kept secret. It's and this is not

829
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: guys not making the leap guy, but I think of

830
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: him as a Sea secret. kJ Wright in one of

831
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: the most integral parts of one of the best defenses

832
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: of our lifetime. Oh, by the way, the leading tackler

833
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks the last two years when you got

834
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: big names like Garl Thomas and Bobby Wagner, kJ Wrights

835
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: making a lot of play seven force fumbles over the

836
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: last two years. And if you hear Pete Carroll and

837
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: some of the Seahawks coaches talk about it, they all

838
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: call Right the glue that kind of holds that group together.

839
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: He's good at covering tight ends. He's not a guy

840
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna rush the past or he's gonna get you know,

841
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: run stopping and he's gonna stop guys and tight ends

842
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: in the past the game. But that's that's the kind

843
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: of guys that get overlooked in the NFL, guys that

844
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: don't rush the passer. So to me, he is the

845
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: best kept seeker. Only twenty six years old. Somehow still

846
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: kJ Right did he make your He should have. He's

847
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: the best kept secret, even from me. Well, he does

848
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: fit as a secret because that team has played more national,

849
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: prime time and playoff games and anyone. He's probably still

850
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: the player that half our newsroom has never heard of, right,

851
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that that position that he plays

852
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: weak side linebacker, but he he's the guy who ends

853
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: up covering um, you know, receivers and everything a lot

854
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: that they get. They don't get a lot of attention

855
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: because they're not going to get Bowl. True, but I

856
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: can think of a game that at least comes to mind,

857
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: and I'll probably get it wrong. Jimmy Graham against them

858
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: when they blasted the Seahawks on Monday Night Football a

859
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and they have kJ Right covering

860
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham and he had his worst game of the season. Essentially,

861
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: That's the type of thing caj Right can do. And

862
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: by the way, no single person on earth can cover Gronk,

863
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: not at this stage of his career. That was a

864
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: great feeling being at the game. That's where being at

865
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: the game is nice. To get the the quote unquote

866
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: all twenty two, Uh massive humble bragg what none of

867
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: our listeners will. I'm just saying. I think someone even

868
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 1: pointed out before the snap, They're like, oh, there's Gronk

869
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: and Cage, right, I'll buy themselves. I pointed it out.

870
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: If we ever, if if we ever get um successful,

871
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: I would like to have like a trivia show type

872
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: thing like France cessa like where we can give away

873
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: super Bowl tickets to our listeners. Wouldn't that be fun?

874
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, we worked for an eleven billion dollar company.

875
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: It seems feasible they run that and think, well, we

876
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: can give our you know, we get a couple of

877
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: let's try to get to love of my tickets, give

878
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: up Greg's super Bowl tickets, that's the contest, and give

879
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: them mine up. What a What a test? What a test?

880
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: By the way of the might and common sense of

881
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: the Shadowy League figures when it comes to sending the

882
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: heroes to London, if they don't do it, they clearly

883
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. That's a law reveal. If

884
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: they don't, Yeah, a total a lot of evil. Alexandra,

885
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: Alexandra Fragola downstairs with the vocal there all right. Some

886
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: people thought it was Colleen Wolf. Some people did. They

887
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: made the mistake on Reddit. We corrected it. We gotta

888
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: give Frags the credit. Oh, I should speaking of Reddit

889
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: and everybody should go to bex. It has over two

890
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: thousand people on it now chatting it up. I want

891
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: to give credit because that idea that we just came

892
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: up with, we didn't really come up with it a

893
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: listener or a Reddit user. It was a Reddit source idea.

894
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: A Reddit source idea. Thank you Mark. I'm trying to

895
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: find because I want to give the proper credit. Let's

896
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: just keep it a best kept secret. Whoever it is.

897
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: It is from bruceing over on the reddit page. A

898
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: subreddit Uh had the idea for best kept secret. So

899
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: that was kind of uh Pilford, Off off Bruce, and

900
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: thank you brucen. One note on the reddit board, which

901
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: is fun to read. Every time I go up to

902
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: Greg's desk, he workspace to ask my question always on

903
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: the reddit board. Well that's Greg, that doesn't Greg has

904
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: probably been to that site twice. Oh stop, you know

905
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to almost people now on the reddit board. Uh,

906
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: so everybody go over there again around the NFL subreddit.

907
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: That's it. By the way, making the LEAP sponsored this

908
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: year coming in July. I know there's a lot of

909
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: making a Leap fans out there have been asked where

910
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: is it? It's usually mid June. Are you guys getting ready?

911
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: This time it's sponsored throughout the month of Mark's dream

912
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: of killing this whole segment has been well. We once

913
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: did forty players, who went down to twenty. I'd say,

914
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: let's get down to four or five, and we've done

915
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: our job. I used to get excited. I used to

916
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: get a little tingle when I found out something that

917
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: either I've written, or the group or the podcast was sponsored.

918
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: And this is sponsored by no one famously, But then

919
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: I realized, ultimately it doesn't. You don't get anything like McDonald's.

920
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: The fast food giants sponsors my written end around Old

921
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: zeus are not getting any pot. You couldn't even roll

922
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: into a McDonald's and showed them that and get even

923
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: like a free coffee. The only thing that means is

924
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: the old zeuser now is under essentially under contract to

925
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: write it every week no matter what, during the summer,

926
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: without fail. You're getting job security out of it. You

927
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: are more indispensable to the company, I hope. So all right, West,

928
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: thank you, you know, giving me some calm. Also for

929

00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,640

932
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: We'll see, but you'll have to wait to find out
