0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Meet Friday and I'm just sort of standing out there,

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>do you think it'd be possible You wouldn't even notice

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>how he was there, and I could have some brisket

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>or something. Okay, I would have to ask everybody, and

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that means the back room guys as well. They'd have

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to vote on it, all of them. Yeah, everybody would

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>have to vote on it, because you know, there is

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's not a consensus, but there's a feeling that

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you're turning your back on us and you don't care anymore.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think you might have said that to a

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of people, that you're turning your back on this

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>show and you don't care anymore. Well, there's a couple

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>of guys in the back that I've I haven't totally

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>mastered their names yet. It's gonna be easy to take

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.279
<v Speaker 1>goodbye to them. Will actually be hard to take goodbye

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to them. They don't know their names. I gotta hand

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>out people want to know, are you handing out most

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>valuable Danette, least valuable Danette, most valuable back room guy?

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>And then there's a push for the least valuable back

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>room guy? I candidate yes, for all the above. I

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>will say the back room guys hate Paulie. Yeah yeah, yeah,

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a consensus. But all of them, yes, they do

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>not like one. Yeah yeah, there nobody is on the

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>fence there. But I got to come up with the

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>most valuable Danette. Yes, mcclem I hate me. Most valuable

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>dan at least valuable Datta. I've always hated it. I

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>find it incredibly stressed. Didn't I didn't do it last year. Yeah,

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it because I know you value all

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody in the building not as much. I mean not,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, all the same. But I got to come

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>up with a I need to come up with a

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>most valuable Danette, and I got to come up with

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a most valuable back room guy. I do. And you

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>know there'll be bonuses attached to this, as you would

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>come to expect. But you got to last the entire year,

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and I probably have to take you out of the running, McLevin.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And for least valuable Danette, I'll take it. If I

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 1>can guarantee I'm in the middle somewhere, I will definitely

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>take it. That'll be my parting gift to you. You're

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>not the most valuable, You're not the least valuable dant Okay. Yes,

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you aspired for mediocrity and you achieved it. You're safer

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the herd, dan Everyone knows that.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes you do, Yes, you are all right. Pull question, McLevin.

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>What do we have so we have a new game

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>set or not set? Oh? I accidentally came up with

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>this in the first hour. The number of teams that

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>are set at their quarterbacks at position and the number

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of teams that aren't set. So we have what is

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the least set? And here are our choices for kay

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the New York Giants not set, Pittsburgh Steelers not set,

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Denver Broncos not set, Detroit Lions not set, Houston Texans

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>not set, Carolina Panthers not set. Here's when we weren't

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>sure about the New Orleans Saints not set. Okay, we're

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna put that up as the poll. How about the

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles, I'm gonna say not set. And it feels

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>like that changes week to week with with the Eagles.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>It feels like there's always a story, a leak that's like, oh,

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're not sold on Jalen Hurts or they're

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>sold on Jalen Hurts. I would say they're not set

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>with Jalen Hurts. Miami Dolphins tua to be decided. Oh

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to eat it, Todd, eat it. Thank you, Todd. I

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>don't take when I just said and then try to

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 1>make it yours. It was so good at needed repeating. Yes, Um,

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say yes, because I think the Deshaun Watson

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>situation is still in a state of flux and and

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.679
<v Speaker 1>it's this isn't one of those where something magically happens

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>and you go okay, and Deshaun Watson's now available, Like

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Tua has played well and the Dolphins who played well,

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>But the Dolphins were supposed to be a playoff team

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>when they started the year, at least I thought they were.

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>They're playing like that, and Tua has like I don't

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>think we've said, oh, two is not playing well. Two

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>is playing well, and so are the Dolphins. And I'd say,

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, it feels like you're a little more set

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>there than It's almost like he's changing people's minds. Yes, Ton,

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>it's really up to him the next few weeks. He no,

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>no Percy, so bad, so desperate, so desperate, saylo or

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the least valuable don add Yeah, yeah, well done, Todd.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I played a little hard today. Yeah. I went to

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the doctor yesterday. I got a TETNA shot. They got

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>a shingle shot. Both my arms are very sound. I

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>probably shouldn't have gotten the both the same day, but

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I did. Do you know how sore my shoulders are

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>every day staring the program, especially me and I put

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a few pounds on late. Did you tell the truth

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to your doctor yesterday? I answered whatever questions he asked

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I asked, I answered, honestly. I didn't offer up any

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>other by the way, you see this giant sub that

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I had. Yes, if he asked me that, I answered,

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't ask me yet how much exactly working

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>out or specifics about my diet. We did the blood pressure.

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>We you know, we talked about how the lab work

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>came out, and you know, just some suggestions. It was

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>really it went to surprising will like a surprisingly great

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>rates from safe fun. I don't know why you do

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>this that you walk into the doctor's office, you immediately

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>take off your clothes and then the doctor says you

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have to take Yeah, that's true. I had some

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>interesting experiences going up and I thought that's just what

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you do. But but the the interesting part is you

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>do it in the waiting room, like you get naked

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in the waiting I did get a few looks. You know,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you already kind of puts the COVID, You already kind

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of separated. You've separated me even more. Old habits die

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>hard yes, poll. The Todds doctor looked him up and down,

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>talked to him for an hour and said, everything's fine.

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>What kind of doctor is this we're talking about here?

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>It might be a little bit quackside. Does he watch

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a show I like going to the doctors and say

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>everything's fine. I need that, even if it's not accurate.

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I just need to be able to leave there with

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>some kind of peace of mind, even if it's not true. Okay,

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you lie to the doctor. You want the doctor to

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>lie to you. He comes in and he opens up,

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, his book on me and and I, you know,

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>before he comes in the nurses day, I leave like

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a twenty year or a fifty dollar bow on the table,

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just with a little note to make sure he just

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>only has good seat. At any point was the phrase

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I could do better about that, or I could be

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>better about that one I was something similar? Was that

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that I had that in my back pocket if

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>if I was in that situation. Thankful that is your

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>go to line, and it drives me crazy. You could

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>really lose a few. You know, that's the last time

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you were here. You put on a couple of the

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>path Yeah, I couldn't thank you No, I could be

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>better about that. Yeah, yeah, that's his I want to

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>could be better than that, Todd, you need to take

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a walk each day, drink a lot of water. Yeah yeah,

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I could do I could be better at that. That

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>means you don't do it at all. And now that

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I got this like a neuropathic foot situation, I don't

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>know how much you didn't even know neuropathic. I did it.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I did some googling, which was disturbing. Then he confirmed

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>that you may have some kind of and then he

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>went out to say, because you have some kind of

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>deformity with your feet, what kind of took like a

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>shot at me, Well, look at what your feet have

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to support. But like now he's got me, like while

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I was at night staring at my feet while I'm

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>like lying in trying to figure out what this deformity

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>is without getting like major X rays done. We'll check

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>with Rex Ryan. Maybe he can help you out. Sore.

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh I should have known back then with a squeaky shoes. Yeah, oh,

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I love that we saved that. And there's there's so

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>many little things that we saved, and you know, like

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 1>this is what we do for a living. I know,

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's make sure we get dud squeaky. We

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>got to record that dud squeaky shoes. Uh yeah, Paul.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>How unset are the Detroit Lions at quarterback? I think

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>they're unset, unset enough to draft a quarterback number one overall.

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>If if you had a great grade on Kenny Pickett

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and and that's really what it comes down to, don't

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>take a quarterback. Take a quarterback who has a great grade,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and if you have him there and he sits for

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>a year or two, then you if you think you

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>have your guy, don't do what gms do. It feels

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>like every draft there's a run on quarterbacks. Let's just

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 1>take one. Yeah, after listen to Jimmy Johnson yesterday. He

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Detroit and taking a defensive back a few years ago.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>From what Jimmy Johnson says, you can't afford to not

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>try at the quarterback position because you're just pushing it

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>back a year. You know, if you did, they take

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Pickett and it doesn't work out, well, it's better

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>than missing on Kenny Pickett. And Pearl Loss been saying

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>this for a while, like you can't afford to pass,

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>so like the Lions. Maybe they don't. Maybe Kenny Pickett

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>like he shouldn't be number one overall, but can they pass?

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>But Jimmy Johnson, he was helping the Lions with their draft.

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>They ask him and he said they were talking about

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>taking Jeff Akuta from Ohio State, a defensive back, and

0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy said, take Justin Herbert and he said, you know,

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>he reminds me of Troy. I take him. And they,

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, did not. I know that they

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>considered taking tah I was told that by somebody who

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>worked there with the Lions that they were thinking about

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>taking him. But Jimmy Johnson, football genius draft expert, is

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>saying to the Lions who ask for his help, take him.

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>If you're the Lions, you call Jimmy Johnson back this year,

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and if Jimmy and Jimmy takes the call, Jimmy'll go, Hey,

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>only if you if you do what I say to do,

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>will I help you? Because that's where you go. Hey,

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>let's uh, oh, Jimmy Johnson would be great to you know,

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>pick his brain. Hey, we're gonna take a defensive back.

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Who do you think we should take? Justin Herbert? Okay, thanks,

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy and the Detroit Lions take jeff a kudah. If

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you like pay then this is the week for you.

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>In the NFL, it feels like there are more teams

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>hovering around five hundred than ever. Six and seven Eagles

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>faced the six and seven Washington Football Team, seven and

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>six Bengals take on the seven and six Broncos. Six

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and seven Falcons taken on the seven and six forty

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.199
<v Speaker 1>nine Ers. The five and eight Seahawks aren't really out

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>of it. They got a big game against the Rams.

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And then how about the ultimate middle of the road team,

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the six, six and one Steelers. They host the Titans

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 1>in a critical game for their playoff hopes. So it's

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>hard to figure out exactly why so many teams have

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>reverted to the middle average. Now, you certainly have bad

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>teams to beat up on, and maybe it's because there's

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 1>no great elite teams right now. You know, the Chiefs

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>were fourteen and two last year and one loss was meaningless.

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>That was Week seventeen. We haven't had a team like

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>that this year. Instead, a lot of teams are in

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the mix every week, and then you throw in COVID

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and you don't even know who's gonna play, like you

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>do need a program, and I don't even know if

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>they can print the program in time for you to

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>read the program to say who's playing, like the Cleveland Browns,

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Baker Mayfield probably not, Case Keenum, probably not, Nick Mullins,

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like you know, I don't know if they're gonna move games.

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Can they move games? I think what's gonna be crazy

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.439
<v Speaker 1>In a couple of weeks, we're gonna be talking about

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 1>tiebreakers and if this happens, and this happens, then this

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>will happen, and get ready for that. Kenny Pickett, the

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>pit quarterback, is not going to play in the Peach Bowl,

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>which I thought from his answer when he was on

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.079
<v Speaker 1>the show a couple of weeks ago he was not

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>going to play. And Kenneth Walker, the great running back

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>at Michigan State, not going to play in that same game. Yeah, McLeman.

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Incredibly obvious question. If you're an Eagles fan and the

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>spread is now minus ten Eagles, do you have any

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>problem beating a decimated Washington football team. Something's up with

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>all the COVID protocol you know cases here it went

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:08.199
<v Speaker 1>from four points to now ten points. I don't know

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>if it gets to a point where Vegas takes it

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>off the board. But it feels like those who aren't

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>going to play, we already know who they are. But

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that one from a four point spread to a ten

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>point spread. A couple of phone calls here Robin in Tennessee.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Hi Robin, what's on your mind? Hi? I thank you

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>for taking my call. I just want to tell you

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>my husband got you got me hooked on your show

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>several years ago. Try to watch it all the time,

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>love all you. But Todd is my favorite? Oh okay?

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Why why is Todd? Why is Todd your favorite? Robin? Why?

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Even though he jokes, his jokes, he just has a

0:13:54.520 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>personality for me that is just I like, and I

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.559
<v Speaker 1>feel bad for him because everyone picks on him. Is

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>his personality similar to your husband? No, not at all,

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>be complete opposite. Okay, my husband's really shy, doesn't speak,

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and you would prefer that Todd was like that. No,

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I like Tod just like Okay, all right, Well, thank you, Robin,

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and Merry Christmas. There you go, Tod. That was very sweet.

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Todd accuses Marvin of not putting through positive phone calls,

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and Marvin goes, I just put through the calls. He's

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>not to be trust he has an agenda. And I'm

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>glad we're exposed. Glad we exposed it. Andrew in Washington.

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Then we'll take a break. Mike Floria will join us. Andrew,

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>what do you have for me today? Happy to meat Friday? Guys,

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you got a wonderful menu today. Yes, hey,

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>real quick on that note, I actually have a fan

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>vote from Marvin Adds the most valuable back room guy.

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Guy answer in the phone does excellent bits on Peca.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you that guy, it's like he has no

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>phone calls ever because he's always just so nice. Um. Also,

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>are we retiring suck at back Row next week? For

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I've heard this a few times this week. Eat it, Fritzie. No,

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's a variation of suck at back Row.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean you can choose to just be more specific.

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I would prefer that it was a suck at back row,

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>even though Todd's the only one in the back row,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, just out of respect for mclovin's memory. Yes, Todd,

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree with that. It would make me feel

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>more comfortable because you know, I like having McLevin next

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to me, and that's gonna be hard enough not having

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>him as my back row partner. But if we could

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>at least keep the suck at back row alive, yeah,

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>that would be nice. Yeah, don't. I don't want to

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>be specific with Todd. He likes it, so I take

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>some of the shrap what he says. That does help

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a little. Absolutely, he's not gonna miss you. He just

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to be singled out of sucking share the

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>grief with me. Yeah, yeah, absolutely he's not going to

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>miss me because he's the least emotional person here. It

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a caring bone in his body, which is

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the amazing thing. I know, and it but see I

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>would think you cared, but you folk care. Paully just

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't care, right, And I admit it. Yeah, Like I'm

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>okay with that. I know Paully doesn't care. Yeah, Paul,

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Like when we come back from vacation, I really don't

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>care about your vacation, Ritzy, like how was Maine? How

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>was the No, he'll text me during the vacation, just

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>want to see if you're having a good vacation. And

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I always say I was until you text me. But

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>if I don't get the three dots of you right away.

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Then you're responding feelings are actually keep track of how

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>many minutes or hours until you get back. Let's take

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 1>he went on a drum solo and it went for

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.120

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>out of high school? That was peak Zeppelin defense Yeah, yeah.

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>And the Stones I saw them. It was peake Zeppelin

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in the seventies. I saw Stone Zeppelin, Who Bowie and Aerosmith. So,

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, pretty good run there of seeing bands when

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>they were at their peak, or at least the perception

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>was they were at their peak. Yes. Point back in

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the seventies when you went to a concert, was it

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the tradition of they wrap up their set, you clap,

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and they come back out. Was that always even back then?

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.680
<v Speaker 1>They're an encore? Yeah, but we had festival seating and

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what was different because you'd line up, you'd get

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>there early, and then first come, first serve, which I

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know who came up with that, but you have.

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>And of course I had tickets to that Fateful night

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 1>when eleven people died in Cincinnati trying to get into

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the Who concert. You know, that's another one of that.

0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>They had two entrances and people we're storming the doors

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to get in, and eleven people died. Eight seven seven

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>which team is least set at quarterback? Your choice is

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>being the New York Giants, Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers, Texans. Oh,

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and we put the Eagles on there, and the Washington's

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>on there too, yep. And the winner is the Texans,

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.639
<v Speaker 1>followed closely by the Steelers. Yeah, but we know that

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the Texans are going to have a new quarterback. It's

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.120
<v Speaker 1>when you have a quarterback and you're not quite sure

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.160
<v Speaker 1>if he is the quarterback. So take the Texans out.

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 1>We have to put Washington in. Yeah, because the Saints

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like they're set. The Giants don't feel like

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 1>they're set, even though they have it. The Lions don't

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're set. Let's bringing Mike Florio Pro Football

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Talk Live co host Football Night in America. More teams

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>who are set at quarterback are not set at quarterback

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 1>for the future. Oh more that are. But every year

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>now we're seeing this churn of teams who are deciding, yeah,

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>we have a guy who's good enough, but we can

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>do better. We want one of the best guys. We're

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna upgrade from the guy we have who's maybe on

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the fringes of the top twenty, and we're gonna go

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 1>try to get somebody better, whether it's through the draft,

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>get yourself in position to get one of these rookies

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that comes in and takes the league by storm, or

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>make a big play for one of the big names

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be out there this year, whether it's

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson to Shaun Watson. So I think

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the teams are more willing than ever before to give

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>up the bird in the hand, even if the bird

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>in the hand isn't all that bad. Well, I wonder

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 1>what the Lions do if Kenny Pickett grades out as

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>he's the best quarterback and the Lions are on the

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>clock number one pick. You have Jared Goff, but do

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you pass on Kenny Pickett? I think, hey, look, if

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Pickett is the guy and the Lions have that pick,

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what they have to do. That Having

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford for a decade made much of a difference.

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 1>But this is a team that is trying to completely

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>rebuild identity, change culture in a dramatic way. It's not

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>just Dan Campbell. It goes all the way to Chris Spielman.

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>He's the guy who's kind of the overlooked straw that

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>is stirring that drink, the old school mentality. That's where

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the bite your kneecaps comes from. It doesn't come from Campbell,

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it comes from Spielman. So Goff and and that guy

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Goff was the guy that they took on in order

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to get two first round picks and a third round

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>pick from the Rams as part of the Stafford deal. Goff,

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you get an extra first rounder if you take this

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>guy off of our hands and take his contract. So

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I think they have to be looking quarterback. Goff is

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 1>clearly not the guy. And if pick it is, pull

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the trigger and off you go. I wonder Mike if

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson and the Seahawks maybe have a formula that's

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 1>similar to what the Lions and Matthew Stafford had, and

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.440
<v Speaker 1>that is, let's just agree to part. Can you send

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>me to one one of these teams and get the

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:06.639
<v Speaker 1>most in return. Let's work together on this and maybe

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 1>have something behind the scenes where it's amicable sort of.

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>And you guys go in your opposite directions. What do

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you think? Well, I agree, and I think that Russell

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 1>has been trying to do that the way that things

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 1>got kicked up last year in the offseason. He comes

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.239
<v Speaker 1>on your show and it's obvious he's not happy. At

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>that point, his agent says, my client doesn't want to

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 1>be traded, but if he were to be traded, he

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>would accept the trade to the Bears. How boys, the

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Raiders are the Saints. I mean, it's obvious where this

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is going. I think it's premature to start identifying teams.

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I know there was some reporting last week to that effect.

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot that has to happen before we know

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 1>where coaches are going to be, where quarterbacks are or

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>aren't going to be. But I agree with you, the

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 1>time has come for a big decision to be made

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.919
<v Speaker 1>in Seattle. Whether that's we're going to move on from

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the coach and bring in somebody who's hand picked to

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>make Russell happy, or whether it's we're going to keep

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the coach and we're gonna let Russell move on, or both.

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:04.439
<v Speaker 1>We're just gonna hit the reset button and start over.

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think what happens the next four weeks, Stan

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a factor in that because they

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>still have a chance to get over five hundred, They

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to sneak into the postseason field. Much

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>different vibe. If that's the end result of this season,

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:18.400
<v Speaker 1>then what it looked like a couple of weeks ago

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>when they were in crash and burn territory. Any games

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in jeopardy of being postponed, No, absolutely not, because the

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:27.399
<v Speaker 1>league's not going to do it. They're not going to

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 1>do it. The commissioner said at Wednesday, they are not

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>going to postpone these games. And one thing I'm trying

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to find out, and the league is being very elusive

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>on this, Shockingly, what is the minimum number of players

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that a team is expected to put in uniform? Forty

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 1>eight is the maximum that you can have on game day?

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>You got sixty nine on the roster, So you already

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 1>have a twenty one person buffer. So when I hear

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>ten guys on COVID, fifteen guys on COVID, you've got

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the ability to call up all of your practice squad guys.

0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't still get to forty eight. Once you start

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>getting below forty eight, forty five, forty thirty five. Where's

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that number? It's almost like a reverse prices, right game,

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>where's that number? Where the NFL says that's not enough,

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.879
<v Speaker 1>where the Union says that's not enough. And would they

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 1>postpone a game if the Browns have fewer than thirty

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>players who can dress? I don't know, and the league

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>won't say, And part of me thinks, Dan that they've

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>got some double secret procedure that they would invoke where

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>basically they can pull guys out of the stands and

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>put them in uniform to get the games in. Because

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 1>they're getting the games in. That's one thing that's clear.

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>They're not giving up the ticket money, they're not giving

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 1>up the TV money. And Dan, this Brown's Raiders game especially,

0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the NFL Network exclusive games. They have

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a minimum number of games that have to be exclusive

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:47.199
<v Speaker 1>to NFL network to justify the subscription rates for cable

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>satellite streaming, they got to have that game on there.

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 1>They are playing these games. The question is how good

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:57.120
<v Speaker 1>will these games be? How many guys will be in uniform? Yeah,

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to figure this out. It felt like

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>there was a disconnect with the NFL, in the NFL

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Players Association. So what is the solution you think that

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.640
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna Are they able to come to some kind

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.119
<v Speaker 1>of agreement that over the final month of the regular season,

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.360
<v Speaker 1>this is what we're going to do when it comes

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to COVID. Well, they've reached an agreement on the return

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to play ability for a player who is vaccinated, asymptomatic

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and positive. What you need to do to come back.

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 1>It's not as stringent. It doesn't take as long to

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>come back. Now. Look, I've been saying for weeks now

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that if a player is vaccinated and positive and totally asymptomatic,

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>there's no reason to keep them from playing. We've gotten

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:40.919
<v Speaker 1>to the point in this pandemic where we can evolve

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>our thinking to a point where we say they're not

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 1>transmitting it on the field. Look at all the fans

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in the stands there haven't been outbreaks. Fans are in

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the stands and surely plenty of them are positive. And

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you know how the masks are worn, dip down over

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the chin, and it's not a problem. It doesn't transmit

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in stadiums, it doesn't transmit in domes. It's not a

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:04.720
<v Speaker 1>problem there. And at some point they need to address

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.159
<v Speaker 1>that because the idea that you have healthy players who

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 1>just happen to be positive for this virus, who are vaccinated,

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>that you're just not going to let him play. That

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>undermines the integrity of the game. How can it not

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.400
<v Speaker 1>if you're not going to have the best players available

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>for reasons unrelated to injury or true actual illness. That's

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 1>where this needs to move in twenty twenty two. I

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>doubt that it gets there this year, but that's where

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>this has to go, because we know this thing isn't

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>going anywhere. Mike Floyal Pro Football Talk Live co host

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 1>who would get a head coaching job sooner? Urban Meyer?

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 1>John Gruden? Which league anfl's coming back? Yeah, Look, I

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 1>think that that it'd be easier for urban Meyer just

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:55.399
<v Speaker 1>because he didn't leave with that same stain of the

0:26:56.280 --> 0:27:00.200
<v Speaker 1>language in the emails that Gruden had to walk out

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the door basically tattooed to his resume forever. Meyers still denies,

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:10.680
<v Speaker 1>for example, kicking kicker Josh Lambo. He denies getting into

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 1>a heated argument with Marvin Jones. He denies calling his

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 1>assistant coach as losers. So it's harder to wrap your

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.640
<v Speaker 1>hands around one thing that Urban Meyer did that makes

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>him permanently and forever toxic. And he's got I'm looky.

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 1>He deserved to be fired. He never should have been

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>an NFL head coach. But he's one of the great

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 1>college coaches of all time. And there's a lot of

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 1>college programs out there, and there's going to be somebody

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>that's thinking, hey, we may get this guy right place,

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 1>right time, and he comes in for a final act

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 1>of his career of redemption that makes us a hell

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of money along the way. This just

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 1>in that Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen now on the

0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>COVID list, So I guess it's Garrett Gilbert who's going

0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to be play. This is why that point spread has

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:04.159
<v Speaker 1>gone from four to ten against the Eagles. This is

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna have on National TV. Kyle Schermer is

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>another quarterback that they have, Garett Gilbert, one of the

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>many backup quarterbacks out there where you can interchange the

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>last name in the first name and it all makes sense.

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>And when you're down to that level of quarterback, you

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>have a problem. But it dan the league doesn't care.

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 1>They don't care that it's going to be a debacle

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>of a game. They don't care that it's going to

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>be fatal potentially to Washington's playoff hopes. They're not going

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.679
<v Speaker 1>to move that game. They're not going to do anything

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to jeopardize the flow of cash into the conference. It's

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>that simple, and it's unfortunate, but that's their current attitude

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and approach, and it just doesn't fit with the current

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>state of the pandemic, where this latest variant apparently is

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 1>ridiculously contagious. But also dron Rivera said today on Radio

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and DC that eighty percent of his guys who were

0:28:57.400 --> 0:29:01.920
<v Speaker 1>positive have no symptoms at all. Is there any update

0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>on Deshaun Watson. There is, and I'm glad you asked

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 1>about him, because he's been forgotten since the trade deadline

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>came and went. They're expecting some sort of a resolution

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to the grand jury proceeding by the end of January,

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of fits with the NFL's offseason timeline.

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Although the quarterback carousel gets started mid to late January.

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 1>We saw it last year with Matthew Stafford. Teams are

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>going to start making decisions. It could be misdemeanor charges

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>that ultimately were filed against the Shaun Watson, not felonies,

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>which would be a difference from the league's standpoint. But

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:37.719
<v Speaker 1>as to the civil lawsuits, I was told last night,

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and this is how close that the Miami Dolphins came

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to getting to Shaun Watson, because the Dolphins wanted these

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>civil lawsuits to be resolved. There are twenty two of them.

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Eighteen of the plainiffs were ready to go. Four of

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>them held out, and that's what derailed the settlements, and

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that's what derailed the trade to Miami. Miami wanted them

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:00.960
<v Speaker 1>all gone. They weren't content to have eighteen gone and

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>four left. They wanted them all gone. If those last

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:06.239
<v Speaker 1>four had come around, he'd be a Dolphin right now.

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 1>But his two wall playing himself into that franchise quarterback

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>role here, Tua did what he needed to do. He

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>was upset about the ongoing distraction and the talk and

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the chatter and just he wouldn't go away. Well, once

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline went away, then the talk ended, and

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Tua has strung one win after another together, and now

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 1>they're going to have a tougher decision to make. You know,

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 1>his durability is what concerns me over the long haul.

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>But he's playing better. He did what he needed to do.

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 1>You know what, if you don't like the fact that

0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about Deshaun Watson, go out there and be

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson. Be better than Deshaun Watson. That's the Tom

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Brady attitude. Get a chip on your shorter and a

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 1>stick up your ass and go out there and play

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 1>better and make them unable to consider bringing in a

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>better quarterback because you are the better quarterback. The Mothership

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>reported that it's unlikely. According to sources, Diana Rassini's saying

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 1>is that your good buddy Aaron Rodgers won't be back

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Packers. I don't know what that means, that

0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>even if he wins the Super Bowl, that he's not

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 1>coming back. Is this Rogers decision, Packers decision, mutual decision,

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 1>any decision at all. Mike I mean, we entered the

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>season as if it was his last year. Yeah, we've

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 1>known this. It's going to take something big to reverse it.

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>And like, what, well, I really do? Can you if

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you are Aaron Rodgers and you are extremely sensitive about

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 1>how you're perceived by the fan base, can you win

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl and say see you later? Maybe you can? Maybe,

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're fine with it. Hey, thank you, you gave

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>us one on the way out the door via condos

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and just don't go play for another team in our

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>division or in our conference. I just think that, just

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>like with Russell Wilson, the end result to this year

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a factor in whether or not

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it continues. Now we know next year will be the

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 1>last year because of his contract, because he becomes a

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>free agent after twenty twenty two. But we went into

0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>this year assuming that this is it, and you know,

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole the vaccine thing, and I've been immunized in

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the destruction. But they're still really good, and they got

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a glimpse of Jordan Love and I'd want to keep

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. I'd want to find a way to make

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 1>him happy and keep him around. I mean, for all

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the headaches that he brings. He's still one of the

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>best quarterbacks in the NFL. Why would you want to

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>move on from him? Why would you not want to

0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>do everything you could to convince him to stick around?

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Why would you want to leave that division? If you're

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers? Right? I mean, well, Minnesota is stuck in neutral,

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the Bears aren't good, the Lions aren't good, and you know,

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>do I think he ends up in Denver? You know,

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they've geared up for this and maybe that's

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>where you know he wants to go. But it feels

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 1>like you're gonna have Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers.

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, those are pretty good prizes. If you

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>don't get one, you get another one there. But I

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 1>just feel like Rogers is going to be a good

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>soldier through everything you asked me to do. And you know, Comember,

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you had guys who cover the Packers on a daily basis.

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Rob Deumovsky covers them for the Mothership, said five percent

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>chance he was coming back, and I went, he's coming back.

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 1>The question is how long does he stay? And I

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>think we were in agreement even going to be there

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>one year no matter what happens this year. Let's not

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>rule out this possibility, Dan, that we're being drifted by

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, that he just wants to be the topic

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>of conversation, that he wants us to be talking about him,

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that he wants to be the center of attention. And

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe he ultimately does come back to the Packers next year.

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And if so, mission accomplished. Hang the banner behind George W. Bush.

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Mission accomplished. Really and truthfully, he is the center of attention.

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 1>We talk about him all the time. I mean, look

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:12.800
<v Speaker 1>at his toe injury. He's pissed off because people on

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff supposedly or telling people, but he's showing

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the damn thing on camera. Every time he talks, he's

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:20.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about his toe injury. Hey, everybody, I have a

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 1>broken toe. He's almost as bad as Ben Roethlisberger. And

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 1>speaking of Roethlisberger, I mean, I'm intrigued by the Steelers

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 1>as a destination for Rogers because why would you go

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to Denver? Didn't you watch the game last night? They

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 1>got Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert in that division. But

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.759
<v Speaker 1>but boy, the idea of Aaron Rodgers just about one

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:37.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred miles up the road for me, I could go

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 1>up and have a permanny sandwich with him once a

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>week and hang out because you two are buddies. Buddies,

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you can know what's funny. Dan, He and I have

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot more in common than he would ever admit.

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I understand him because I'm a lot like him, hopefully well,

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>not in the football way and not necessarily in the

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>good personality traite way. So you're both know at alls

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 1>exactly exactly Mary you want to see. Yeah, you both

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 1>love to talk about Aaron Rodgers. Yes. Yeah. For business,

0:35:10.800 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, you should have seen our numbers for November.

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 1>He's great for business, Aaron I said, I said during

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the height of the whole, I'm immunized and all that

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>other stuff. I hope he never retires. I hope he

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.399
<v Speaker 1>stays with the Factors until he's sixty. I hope it's

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 1>every year this drama. He's great for business. Thank you, Mike.

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.400

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's sen to the Fifth Hour with Ben mallerw on

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Night Football the Saints and the Buccaneers. But this

0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:37.120
<v Speaker 1>is tough for Tom Brady because he hasn't done well

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:39.920
<v Speaker 1>against the Saints. I think he's twenty and five against

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the NFL since he's been in Tampa,

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 1>oh and three against the Saints. If he doesn't have

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:51.439
<v Speaker 1>a good game and they might lose, or they do lose,

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, we might have a little

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:55.839
<v Speaker 1>bit more of a race for the MVP. But if

0:36:55.920 --> 0:37:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Brady wins, they win comfortably and he has a good game, men,

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady is going to be your MVP. But that's

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a Sunday night on NBC seven Eastern on NBC in Peacock,

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 1>where a football night in America starts. I just saw

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:14.360
<v Speaker 1>this from our buddy Ross Tucker, who tweeted Heisman candidates

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:18.239
<v Speaker 1>for both schools playing in a New Year's six Bowl

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.520
<v Speaker 1>game for the first time in a long time. Not

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 1>playing means college football bowls as we know are blank.

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Now they're over because well they're over for the time being,

0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>because once you have twelve teams in the playoffs, then

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>is Kenny Pickett gonna play in a bowl game where

0:37:38.680 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance to be playing in a playoff game?

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Walker, the running back at Michigan State, would he

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 1>be playing? So I would say let's hold off on

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that the death of the bowl games as far as

0:37:52.040 --> 0:37:55.359
<v Speaker 1>marquee players. But I certainly understand these players saying, Hey,

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting ready to go play in the NFL. I've

0:37:58.480 --> 0:38:01.400
<v Speaker 1>done everything you ask I play in the regular season games,

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm moving on. I have no problem with that.

0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a business. Why is it that the coaches

0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 1>can run it as a business but the players can't.

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:13.600
<v Speaker 1>And I have a problem with that. And even people

0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>who had problems with a top recruit going to Jackson

0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 1>State for whatever reason, he wants to go to Jackson State.

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 1>It's his reasons, his parents' reasons. You want to go

0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:30.239
<v Speaker 1>play for Dion Sanders, you're defensive back, wide receiver. Maybe

0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 1>you're going to cash in financially. I'm fine with it.

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, it used to be we would go wow,

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>these players are playing at historically black colleges and universities.

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Well you know why they played there because they couldn't

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:50.600
<v Speaker 1>get recruited by others schools. I can question it, but

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to judge it. I just I'm just

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:57.800
<v Speaker 1>curious about it. You know, is there a financial aspect

0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to name, image and likeness? Is there a document memory

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to shoot Maybe it's Dion going to stay.

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what I would ask That'd be the

0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:10.320
<v Speaker 1>first question I would ask, are you going to be

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 1>there for my career because I don't know if Dion

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>could guarantee that. Now I might say, of course I am.

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.200
<v Speaker 1>If I'm at university trying to make a splash, I

0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 1>would look at Dion and if you start to think

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 1>about this, with what Dion did, Florida State didn't hire

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Deon Sanders. Sanders one of the great football players who's

0:39:34.520 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>ever played at Florida State. Delon was able to say, bleep,

0:39:40.560 --> 0:39:43.399
<v Speaker 1>you you didn't want me, this is what I could

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 1>do for you. I'm taking your recruit and Florida State

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 1>is down. They needed top recruits, and Dion took him.

0:39:54.600 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 1>But whatever the reason is, it's it's the reason into

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the recruiting his family. But when we go guy, I

0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:06.759
<v Speaker 1>look at all those guys who came from Grambling or

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Southern or Jackson State, Well they went there because a

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of these players at the time weren't recruited by

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:21.360
<v Speaker 1>these other schools. Now they weren't. You know, integration wasn't

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:25.080
<v Speaker 1>as you know, that wasn't a front burner, you know,

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the black quarterback. Did Steve McNair have options? I don't know.

0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:33.359
<v Speaker 1>He went to Alcorn State. But I think we get

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:37.640
<v Speaker 1>into hey, why are you going there? Or that doesn't

0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>make any sense? Okay, but you know I I think

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.400
<v Speaker 1>we look at this and would we be doing this

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:50.600
<v Speaker 1>for somebody else if if a white quarterback went to

0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Remember the quarterback who went to Princeton. Yeah, he was

0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>like a top twenty guy, and we thought maybe I

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:59.320
<v Speaker 1>think he had Stanford in a couple other places. We

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:01.520
<v Speaker 1>had him on the show and I just said, you

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>know why, and he talked about I'm gonna go at Princeton.

0:41:05.960 --> 0:41:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I get an Ivy League education. And I think these

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:12.360
<v Speaker 1>these kids now feel like if I'm good, you'll find me,

0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and the scouts will find you if they found a

0:41:16.160 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>defensive back at Lenore Rhyne or you know, the School

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of Minds. I mean, you know there's gonna be if

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 1>you're good enough, they'll find you, like Colon Mack was

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:33.719
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo. But you you have to be great so

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>people want to go and watch you play. Is he

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:39.839
<v Speaker 1>going to play against great talent? No? Weekend in week out,

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:43.320
<v Speaker 1>No he's not. But whatever his reason is, it's his

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 1>reason instead of I gotta go someplace, this is where

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:50.800
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to go for whatever the reasons are. Yeah, McLevin,

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I once made a terrible mistake about School of Minds. Yeah.

0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>They had a famous coaching Bob Stitt, who helped invent

0:41:57.200 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the spread, you know. And my friend was telling me

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 1>about it. I'm like, I still understand how the School

0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:03.239
<v Speaker 1>of the Blind as a football team. Oh it was

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>because that would be hard. Well I thought it was

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the School of the Mimes. Yes, and you learned how

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a mime. And I'm like, damn, they got

0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a school for them. I just watched the school, uh,

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, the College of Mine Minds. They played Valdosta

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:21.400
<v Speaker 1>State and I watched the rear yesterday. It's the School

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of mind school of mine, a school of mine. Yeah,

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and I watched them against Valdosta State last night. The

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>rehar So when the lineman backs up to block, he's

0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 1>like a mime. He just puts his heads out. Yeah, terrible.

0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Can we edit this out of the podcast? What I

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:41.359
<v Speaker 1>just said? Yeah? We can, Yes, trust me, we will.

0:42:41.520 --> 0:42:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about that. Yes. What do you tell your

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:45.560
<v Speaker 1>teammates if you scrubt mine bad? Is that what you say?

0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:50.279
<v Speaker 1>How about mine? Your own business? He's got a top

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 1>what do you do? Paul is the topper? All right,

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>one hour in the books. That's it. We got one

0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:02.320
<v Speaker 1>more and then we get to dive into one of

0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the great meals of all time. Meet Friday, Final hour

0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:11.839
<v Speaker 1>coming up, one more writing. We close out hour two

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:14.479
<v Speaker 1>on this Friday. When you get finished golfing, lifting weights,

0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 1>running around the neighborhood, your body doesn't recover the way

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it used to. You've got sore muscles post workout discomfort

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:22.680
<v Speaker 1>popping up in new spots all the time. That's why

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm thankful there's Level Select CBD sports creams and roll ons. Now.

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I use the roll ons every day before you work out,

0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 1>after you work out, even if you're going to go

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>play golf. Carson Palmer, Ricky Fowler, Steve Garvey use it

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 1>good enough for me, and I trust Level Select CBD

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 1>because it's formulated with doctors. The number one question I

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 1>always get when people hear me talk about using this

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is is there THHC? And I go, no, it's just CBD.

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:48.760
<v Speaker 1>It allows you to feel at work immediately zero percent THHC.

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>You apply it to the sore spots. Let that proprietary

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.080
<v Speaker 1>blend to CBD, go to work and it doesn't. At
