Appreciate everyone that has And I 26 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: know we got a lot over Thanksgiving holiday, but yeah, 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: I was having a good time. So I can't just 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: can't just sit on your phone all the time when 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: you're with your family, uh, even though you know I'd 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: be lying if I said I didn't on my phone 31 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: in my hand most of the time. But let's just 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: talk football and we just I really think the story 33 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: of the night was the end of the Green Bay Packers. 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: Now it's kind of bent over. And during Thanksgiving, I 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: was actually my brother is a member at this golf course, 36 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: and we're up having some cocktails and one of the 37 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: doctors in the area that works at U C. Davis 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: and Stanford was having a few pops and he was 39 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: telling me about some of his doctor friends and he 40 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: might know the Green Bay doctor. And he was telling 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: me how bad Aaron rodgers thumb was, and I was like, damn, 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: and he was hammering home like he's really been struggling 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: to grip a ball for a couple of weeks. But 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: then the story broke. I was hoping to have a 45 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: little inside information on the podcast, but then it's come 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: out over the last couple of days how bad it's been. 47 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes when these reports come out, I 48 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: usually pushed back, and sometimes it's an excuse, like Russell 49 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: Wilson's banged up? Is he banged upers he just terrible? 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: Like he was pretty bad last year too, Like maybe 51 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: he's just playing terrible. But Aaron Rodgers, look back on 52 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: that Thursday night game against the Titans, when he's missing 53 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: lay up throws relative to his standard, one of the 54 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: most accurate quarterbacks we've ever seen, the back to back 55 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: m v P, It's like, Okay, this adds up. The 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: problem is is they just paid him a hundred and 57 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars and clearly tonight he had you know 58 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: what seemed like a major injury, left the game when 59 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: the game was by no means over, and never came back. 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: And I'm recording this right after the game so who knows. 61 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be fine, maybe he won't. This has been 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: a disaster. You give a guy back to back m 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: v P a team that had won thirty nine games 64 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: in three years, well, they hadn't won the Super Bowl. 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: How they hadn't even been the Super Bowl. They've been 66 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: a playoff disappointment. They have been a consistent power in 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: the NFL right since La Flour got there. Definitely, these 68 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: last two years are there and Rodgers their four and eight, Like, 69 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: that's fucking an embarrassment. Now Rogers is down and it's 70 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: just one of those seasons where it's like, what the 71 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: hell is gonna go? What's gonna happen from here? And 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: then the night we get a taste of Jordan's love 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: and like, I'm not gonna overreact over a small sample size, 74 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: but here's what I will say. He early as a 75 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: live arm and based on the night, was relatively pretty accurate. 76 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Now the touchdown to Watson, he hit him on a 77 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: crossing route and the dude did most of the work. 78 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: That guy can fly Goodikins might be a sweet pick. 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: They clearly have some good players. Now Defensively they can't 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: stop anybody, and offensively now they have a major quarterback problem. 81 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: They have this guy that makes fifty million dollars a 82 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: year who's got a messed up thumb and now messed 83 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: up oblique, who threatens to retire every year. And I'm 84 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: sure and some Packer fans are gonna go, I don't 85 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: want to keep going through this. This is really exhausting. 86 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: Now I'm no capologist, but when you look, you just 87 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: go type in Aaron Rodgers contract and you go to 88 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: spot track. Like dead money comes along with enormous guaranteed cash. 89 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: So the dead money on his does not make him 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: a tradeable player. This is not the NBA where at 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: any moment you could trade Janice or Steph Curry or 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: any of these players on these enormous contracts if you 93 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: can find someone link to make the money work. It's very, 94 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: very difficult in the NFL because of what it does 95 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 1: to your salary cap but it had to cross your mind, 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: given out shitty everything's going to go, is this a 97 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: time to transition? And assuming that he might still want 98 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: to play, because let's face it, there's kind of been 99 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: some buzz like is it kind of over for Aaron 100 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: in Green Bay? Which is weird to say because they 101 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: just gave him a hundred and fifty million dollars. But 102 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: you watch this season that the Packers are in this 103 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: weird place where they've just had all the success and 104 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: now it feels like they're in limbo, even though they 105 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: just extended their quarterback. But you got to eventually figure out, like, 106 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: are you gonna pick up this fifth year option on 107 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: Jordan's Love? Because part of drafting him late in the 108 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: first round is having that ability. It's why when you 109 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: come into the late end of the first round you 110 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: draft one of those players, and a lot of teams 111 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: either trade out when they don't like a guy, or 112 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: they trade up in there to get that fifth year option. 113 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: That that opportunity, and now the Packers, like, are gonna 114 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to kind of ride this guy out? 115 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Because I think definitely the move is your four and eight. 116 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: You've got five games left, start Jordan's Love in every 117 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: single one of them. I think that's pretty clearly the 118 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: no brainer move. Start Jordan's Love from here on out. 119 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: But like I understand, sunk costs and you've already paid 120 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: the money. It's not the ideal position to be in 121 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: when you're paying a guy fifty million dollars a year, 122 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the highest per year value we've ever seen in NFL history, 123 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: and he's deserved it. He was, you know, one of 124 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: the best players we've ever seen these last couple of years, 125 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: and even before that time, he had been one of 126 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: the best players we've ever seen, and clearly one of 127 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: the best players, if not the best player in franchise history. 128 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: But now they're in a weird spot, and you gotta 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: see what Jordan's love happens. But what if he looks good? 130 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: Like what if he keeps making plays? What if you 131 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: compete in games? Because I think now the best position 132 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: is to get Jordan's love, have him look good, and 133 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: probably keep losing games, get better draft position, and then 134 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: give yourself a lot of options. And you know, I 135 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: don't pretend to know if Aaron Rodgers is gonna ret fire, 136 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: demand a trade, go just do ayahuasca for the summer 137 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: and then come back, because if you're the Packers, you 138 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: know it's probably getting I'd say it's probably getting a 139 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: little tiring, but it's not because they just paid the guy. 140 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, would they would they have 141 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: been better off looking back, And it's easy to say, hindsight, 142 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: it's always easy to play Monday morning quarterback, trade him 143 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: to the Broncos and just go Jordan's love. Like, obviously, 144 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: if they get a redo, they would have done that, right, 145 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: But that's they made their bed. They had the opportunity 146 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: to extend them. They did it. Now their four and 147 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: eight season from hell. At least on a bright spot, 148 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the chance to kind of, you know, 149 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: work out this quarterback, which, let's face it, pretty big, 150 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: unknown and in a small sample size, very small, look 151 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: somewhat promising, I could say, really promising. Big guy can move. 152 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: I I knew that. I mean, I guess I had 153 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: watched him a little bit at Utah State and watched 154 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,119 Speaker 1: some of his packer action, but was relatively accurate tonight 155 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: from what he'd been. And then on the flip side, 156 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles, I already knew they were good, so I 157 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: know how potent they are on offense. They got dudes everywhere, 158 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: and Jalen when he's rocking and rolling is fucking awesome. 159 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's like a slower Lamar, right, And when 160 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: Lamar was kicking ask and taking names a couple of 161 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: years ago, he is as natural and instinctive of a 162 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: runner as you're ever gonna see at the quarterback position, 163 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: and clearly throws the ball a lot better than he 164 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: did when he came in the league. Their offensive line 165 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: and the physicality they have upfront is awesome. I mean, 166 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: the Packers aren't exactly the eight five Bears on defense, 167 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: but they were shoving them around with these and their 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: weapons outside. I mean A. J. Brown and Davante Smith 169 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: are studs and got it will eventually come back. I 170 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: have no question marks on the offense except when they're 171 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: in a tie game playoffs and you know, all of 172 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: our butts get a little tight. How does Jalen react? 173 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: We won't really know it till we see it. Maybe 174 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: we'll see it in the in the Cowboy game coming up. 175 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: But they're gonna be the number one seed. I feel 176 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: pretty confident about that. But to win the Super Bowl, 177 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: and to get to the Super Bowl, to win the NFC, 178 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: there is a question mark with this team because there 179 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: are some teams in the conference that like to run 180 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: the ball and that will run the ball. The forty Niners, 181 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: now they lost their running back today, will run the 182 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: ball all day long. And they got about eight guys 183 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: that can do it, Deebo McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell of his 184 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: knees don't fall off like they will do that all 185 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: game in Philly. And depending on where the Miami Vike 186 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: or not Miami Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings like they got 187 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: a really good running back he goes by the name 188 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. The backup ain't bad either, so they have 189 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: firepower to run the football. And the one thing in 190 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: some of these playoff games, you can really slow a 191 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: game down if you stick with the run. I know 192 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is. We haven't seen Kevin O'Connell in that situation, 193 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: but they definitely have the horses to do it. And 194 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: if you can't stop the run, and clearly the Eagles 195 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: got some issues now. They're big guy, right, Jordan Davis 196 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: will hopefully be healthy when they make their you know, 197 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: kind of their playoff run, but they're gonna need him 198 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: back and they're gonna need to figure out because art 199 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: to me, if your run defense isn't just your defensive tackles, 200 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: clearly something's up with the linebacker play now. I haven't 201 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: broke down the tape, but like the forty Niners ain't 202 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: exactly rolling out uh Helodi Nada and you know, the 203 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: biggest defensive tackles you've ever seen. But their linebackers make 204 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: all these tackles. And I'm watching the Eagles. You can 205 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: just gut them. Just it's so easy. I mean A J. 206 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: Dillon is a very physical running back. Look fantastic tonight. 207 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean it was just crushing dudes. So that, to 208 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: me is the question with the Eagles. They just they 209 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: you don't have to be the best run defense of 210 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: all time, but you gotta be a little bit better 211 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: than what they've been to feel good if you're an 212 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: Eagles fan about like this is our year, because I 213 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: think you have a very good chance to have it 214 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: be your year, right, But that run defense and just 215 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: that front physicality would make me a little bit nervous 216 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: because that's what wins in the playoffs. Physical at the 217 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: point of attack. That's why the forty niners won two 218 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: road playoff games last year. It's why you know, if 219 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota like you, You're ultimately not gonna just be able 220 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: to depend on Kirk Cousins, right, but if you can 221 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: run the football, which they can, the Minnesota Vikings, you know, 222 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: can be a potent team. Uh. That being said, I 223 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: like the Eagles the most in the NFC by far. 224 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: They've earned that distinction and the roster is really really talented. 225 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: I would say the story of the week was Zack Wilson. Right, 226 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: he got benched, which was kind of a no brainer 227 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: after his performance against the Patriots, and then earlier in 228 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: the week, like Wednesday, they named Mike White the quarterback, 229 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: and then today Mike White was fantastic. And to me, 230 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: I saw Robert Salace said earlier in the week, this 231 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: isn't the end of Zack Wilson's career. He just needed 232 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: a reset, And I would I understand where Robert Salas 233 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: coming from. And I will let me say this first, 234 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: let me preface what I'm about to say by this, 235 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Zack Wilson's career is over as a 236 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: player in the NFL. But I think it's over with 237 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Not because the guy doesn't have 238 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: physical talent. Were not because a young player needs some 239 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: time to develop and maybe he's just way behind the 240 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: eight ball, but his teammates clearly do not like him. 241 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: His teammates couldn't wait to get somebody in there their 242 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: backup quarterback was not some has been All Pro, some 243 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: older player that had won Pro Bowls. I'll be honest, 244 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: I follow the NFL college football, the sport for a living. 245 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't know much about this guy at all. Yet 246 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: they reacted to Mike White like he was Tom fucking Brady. 247 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: If you watch after the game, I forget the sideline 248 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: reporter comes up to interview. I think it's Christina Pink 249 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: just to interview Mike White about how much fun he 250 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: had about seventeen teammates corral him from behind and just 251 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: start jumping up and down. And then the quotes after 252 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: the game from offensive and defensive players. Sauce Gardner, who's 253 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: clearly one of the best defensive players in the league, 254 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: said it was refreshing on the first drive of the 255 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: game when the defensive players could look at each other 256 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: and go, God, it's kind of crazy that we have 257 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: some time because usually they're used to this guy going 258 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: three and out and then having to run right on 259 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: the field. The first drive of the game, Sauce Gardener 260 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: was looking at teammates and go, God, this isn't normal. 261 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: Elijah Moore, who I'm gonna give somewhat of an apology 262 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: for when you work with someone who you don't like 263 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: and you don't respect, and you don't think is good, 264 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: it's hard to be in the right mental frame of mind. 265 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: And I've been in that situation before in my radio career. 266 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: I've worked with people that I didn't like and I 267 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: didn't respect, and I didn't function properly, and I didn't 268 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: like the way I felt. I probably, if I could 269 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: look back and the way I talked to other people, 270 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I was probably just a bad I wasn't myself and 271 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: and everything. I've always heard about this guy the second 272 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: round pick out an old miss high level guy, and earlier, 273 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: if you've been listening to podcast for a while, I 274 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: talked a lot of ship when he demanded a trade, 275 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: because in a vacuum, demanding a trade when you haven't 276 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: earned anything, I'd be like, what are you doing? And 277 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: I thought it was really stupid, like you don't have 278 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: the juice to demand a trade. And after today I 279 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: realized maybe he didn't view himself like I'm Randy Moss, 280 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: or I'm Jerry Rice or I'm Terrell Owens. I just 281 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: can't fucking stand playing with this guy. He is so 282 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: terrible he refuses to throw me the ball, and he 283 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: sucks so bad that I gotta get out of here. 284 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it was as simple as that, because all these 285 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: guys body language. Elijah Moore said that he grabbed the 286 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: football yesterday and kissed it and told the football I 287 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: love you and I've missed you, like I'm sorry. The 288 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: quotes coming out of the Jets Robert Slick and say 289 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: he needs a reset, and he clearly does. He was 290 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: the third quarterback today. He didn't dress. It is, I 291 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: would say, borderline unprecedented in modern football. Forgot to get 292 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: drafted that high, the team obviously be really good and 293 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: by the second season be getting benched. And think about 294 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: ta who somewhat went through this. Though Toa was injured 295 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: right definitely the first year, but the second year, a 296 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: lot of players on the team liked to A and 297 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: clearly you see it this year. The guys like to A. Hell. 298 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: I saw the forty niners this year when Trey Lance 299 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: snapped his ankle. The reaction after the game when Jimmy 300 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: came in and they beat the Seahawks was jubilation. But 301 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: they never acted like Trey Lance wasn't a good guy, 302 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: and they didn't like being around him, and they didn't 303 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: like playing him. It's pretty clear that the Jets players. 304 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: And this is why I say his career is done 305 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: with the Jets, because the players that I'm talking about 306 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: are not you know, eleventh year Durrell Reevas, who might 307 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: not even be on the team in a year. You know, 308 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: twelveth year guy uh whoever, Thomas Jones or some random 309 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: defensive lineman. Sauce Gardner is a fucking rookie. Elijah Morrison 310 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: his second year, Garrett Wilson's a rookie. Their core guys 311 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: are all first and second year players, and they don't 312 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: like this guy. And I'm sure you saw Booker McFarland 313 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,239 Speaker 1: going on the thing about a rich kid. Listen, I've 314 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: been in college football in the NFL. You get rich kids, 315 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: you get poor guys, you get mitter class guys. It 316 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: has nothing to do where you come from or like, 317 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: whether you grew up on a country club or in 318 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: the gutter. Do guys like it or not? Like I 319 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: was in Fresno State, Derek Carr's brother, you know, was 320 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. You grew up 321 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: with some money. Ryan Matthews are starting running back grew 322 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: up homeless. You know what about both guys. Teammates all 323 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: loved both of them. It's one thing. The other thing 324 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: with players, like you can't over generalize players. Every player 325 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: is his own guy. So whether you're rich, you're poor, 326 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: middle class. Obviously, once you get to the NFL, everyone 327 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: has money. But my point is, like we've all met 328 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: people in our lives, neighbors, family friends, our own friends, 329 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: like you're either a douchebag, a good guy, or a 330 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: bad guy. It's kind of that simple, right, And clearly 331 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's got some douche e qualities to him because 332 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: the guys on the team from all over big schools, 333 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: small schools don't like the guy. And I don't see 334 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: how you can like flip the switch at twenty three 335 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: years old. Now you can improve as a football player, 336 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: and clearly he has a long way to improve. But 337 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: Mike White, I would say, obviously he's a better player 338 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: than Zach Wilson, but clearly what he had going for him, 339 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: guys just kind of liked him.

Speaking about a 367 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: guy that people don't like. I'm sure you saw the 368 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: viral video today of the defensive lineman coming off the 369 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: field and losing it on Russell Wilson. Now, the difference 370 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: of Russell and Zach Wilson, right, is Russell as a 371 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: decades worth of resume, Pro Bowls, you know, all pros, 372 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: competing for m v ps, taking teams of the playoffs, 373 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: winning big games, playing at the highest level of the NFL. 374 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: So he has equity when he came into the locker room, 375 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: right even if like, you know, it's like, hey man, 376 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: I knew some of the dudes on Seattle. They said 377 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: this guy is kind of a whack job. But it's 378 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: like he's Russell Wilson, we need to improve in the quarterback. 379 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: Will deal with it. Then you're around him and it's like, wow, 380 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: we don't really see it, but he's got a long resume, 381 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: so you give him the benefit of the doubt, even 382 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: if you think he's a weirdo. Then before the season starts, 383 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: he gets this enormous fucking contract. Right he's making two 384 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: earn forty million dollars, forty five million dollars a year, 385 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: a hundred sixty or seventy guarantees, so he's immediately making 386 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: way more than everyone else on the team. So it's like, 387 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: you didn't have any equity here, but you had earned 388 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: it in the league. We get it. Whatever they traded 389 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: a lot for you, we understand. But then the season 390 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: plays out and the equity that you didn't have with us, like, 391 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: you gotta earn. We we've all worked for people that like, 392 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: even if they have a long resume, you still have 393 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: to earn the other human beings respect, right in a 394 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: professional setting. And by the end of this I guess 395 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: not the end of the season, but they're twelve games 396 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: in right there, officially now four and eight. I wonder 397 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: if some of these guys look at him and go, 398 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: he's a weirdo. He he's the highest paid guy on 399 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: our team and he sucks like that's a bad combination, 400 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: and especially the defensive guys go every single week we're 401 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: bringing it. Statistically, you could argue Niners whatever, they're a 402 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: top two or three defense in the NFL. I saw 403 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: a stat that if the Denver Broncos were just scored 404 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: this was last week, eighteen points in every game they 405 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: would have been coming into this week like nine and one, 406 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: maybe would have been ten, whatever, nine and two, he 407 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: would have been fan. It's he stinks. He's awful. Now 408 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: we can say Nate Hackett has no business being a 409 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL. That's fair. I wouldn't argue, 410 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: but you cannot argue that when you watch Russell Wilson. 411 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: I just watched bits and pieces of that game. He's awful. 412 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: He's not any good. And at least the Packers like 413 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: they paid him all this money. Aaron had earned it, 414 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: Aaron had carried that franchise and then even the last 415 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: two years back to back n v ps, Russell earned 416 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: this contract just because the Broncos didn't get Aaron Rodgers, 417 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: and then they trade for this guy and then they 418 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: give him all this money, and he's the reason with 419 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: the head coach they suck. And I'd argue the head 420 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: coach and him go hand in hand because eventually, if 421 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: I just called basic pass play and the dudes open 422 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: on a seven yard out route or five yard in 423 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: route or whatever, the guy just sitting in his own 424 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson's looking at him and he throws the 425 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: ball and he airmails him or hits him in the feet. 426 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: Is that on Nathaniel Hackett. Now we can nit pick 427 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: the timeouts and some of the specific play calls run 428 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: or passed, but there's just a basic element of when 429 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: I dropped back and a guy's open and Russell's looking 430 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: at him, and the ball goes five ft behind him 431 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: or goes seven ft to the right of him, Like, 432 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: that's a Russell Wilson problem. And I don't think Sean Payton, 433 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't think Bill Walsh. I don't think Vince Lombardi 434 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: could fix that Russell Wilson shot. But for the first time, 435 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: he's not good enough for everyone to just like take 436 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: his weirdness. I hate weird whack o people. I can't 437 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: imagine being good at my job. Like all the players 438 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: are on Denver's defense who make drum addically less than 439 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and keep having to pretend to kiss this 440 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: guy's ass. I think you saw for the first time 441 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: today they're snapping, they're cracking, and I support it because 442 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson looks god awful. And I had a little 443 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 1: bit of a theory today. I don't really know, Like, 444 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: there are a lot of teams in the NFL right 445 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: now whose record is pretty bad. Right there are a 446 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: lot of four five win teams, teams that are well 447 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: under five hundred. We can put the Packers in that 448 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: as well. But you're watching a lot of these games, 449 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: and I think a big difference between like college and 450 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: the NFL is like a lot of college games when 451 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm at Michigan or I'm at Alabama or I'm at 452 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: USC there is a huge talent gap. But I was 453 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: watching the forty Niners game today going and I the 454 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: Saint's got a lot of players back from injury, going, 455 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: the Saint's had a lot of good players, And I 456 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: understand why a lot of you fans DM me at 457 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: the start of the season, going middle Coff, You're too 458 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: low on the Saints. Our rosters two loaded. Dennis Allen 459 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: just has to be solid. It turns out Dennis Allen 460 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: just stinks, you know, just not any good. And you 461 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: look at the Cardinals, like, I watch a lot of 462 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: Cardinal football. I live in Arizona now, so whatever my 463 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: TV is on for the NFL ticket, my second TV 464 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: is just on the local broadcast of what else is on, 465 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: and it's usually the Cardinal game. Right. So I've watched 466 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals playing a lot of games that I 467 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: pay attention to. Anyway, they're playing the NFC West teams 468 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: and this year they're playing the a f C West 469 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: teams again, so I was locked into them against the Chargers, 470 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: and I've watched basically every snap that they've had. They 471 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: have good players everywhere their four and eight as well. 472 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: The Lions, Like, if you watch that team on Thursday morning, 473 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: you'd have to your takeaway would go Whoever, you're a 474 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: fan of the Bengals, uh, Seattle, the Cowboys, you would 475 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: love to have a lot of guys that play for 476 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions on your team. Coaching sucks, and you 477 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: know what coaching matters, because last year, the Saints did 478 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: not have a quarterback, but they had basically the same 479 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: roster with actually some of the less of the rookies 480 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: that they drafted because they had multiple first round picks. 481 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: They had Sean Payton, and they found a way with 482 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: four different guys playing quarterbacks. Ian Book started a game 483 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: at quarterback for them. Shout out to Northern California, Sacramentos 484 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: on ian Book. And they went nine and eight, And 485 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: this year it feels like they're head to do probably 486 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: a six win season maybe. I mean, honestly, they could 487 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: win five games, even the Raiders, which I wouldn't put John. 488 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: I guess I still have some hope for Josh McDaniels, 489 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: or at least can acknowledge that Josh McDaniels could potentially 490 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: turn out to be a decent coach. I would say 491 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: the resume would be pretty questionable, and we've talked a 492 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: lot about it and help. I thought a couple of 493 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: weeks ago we could be one and done. They celebrated 494 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: beat in Seattle today on a walkoff touchdown back to 495 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: back o T walkoff touchdowns, like they just won the 496 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You know, I I go back and forth 497 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: kind of Teeter totter in this is that a losing 498 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: mentality or it's like it's football. You only get seventeen 499 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: of these, you celebrate them. So it's like you went 500 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: beat Denver on the road, you beat them twice, those 501 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: are two or your four wins, and you beat Seattle, 502 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Like I get it. You celebrate wins is part of 503 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: the deal. Second baseball, you know when they celebrate winning 504 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: the division and they celebrate winning the wild card, they 505 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: celebrate every single round. In football, you know, it's just 506 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: you just celebrate the conference championship and then you celebrate 507 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. But neither here nor there but the 508 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: Raiders last year in the playoffs and this year they've 509 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: added Davante Adams. So it's like coaching matters, man, it 510 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: just does. Because you're watching all these teams in the NFL. 511 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: They have losing records and you go, god, they've got 512 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: a lot of talent on their team. They have a 513 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: lot of players that I would like. Some of these 514 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: teams are like pretty good at several positions, impact players, 515 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: high end Pro Bowl level guys. It's like they're gonna 516 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: go five and twelve. How does that happen? Coaching and 517 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: speaking of coaching. Seventeen million people watching, including myself, and 518 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: it was fantastic Michigan against Ohio State. And you know, 519 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: in football, and I think in parallels life now. In 520 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: life like toughness is mainly mental like. Being mentally tough 521 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: is very important because you go through ups, you go 522 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: through downs, depending on what you do for a living. 523 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: You get fired, you go bankrupt, your industry goes under. 524 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: Two thousand eight happens, you know. Whatever, you go through 525 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: tough times, you realize you lose people in your life. 526 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: You lose parents, you're forced to grow up, you get 527 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: a divorce, whatever, people get sick like. You gotta be 528 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: mentally tough. It's the only way to make it in 529 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: this crazy world. In football, it's like a combination of both. 530 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: You gotta have the mental tough but there's just a 531 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: physical element of life like in life for us, there's 532 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: not really a we'reever We're not getting in fights like 533 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: in our businesses. We don't have to move anyone physically. 534 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: It's all mental. Football incorporates both, and there's a huge 535 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: element in football of physical toughness. And physical toughness to 536 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: me is developed in practice. It's developed by the leader 537 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: of your team and the message and the mentality that 538 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: he brings on a daily basis. And I think it 539 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: was a year ago when Jim Harbaugh said that Ryan 540 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: Day was born on third base, and a lot of 541 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: people like talked a bunch of ship because at the 542 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: time Ryan Day was having more success. But when you 543 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: really take a step back and you look, guys like 544 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Day don't get the Ohio State job without ever 545 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: having another job. That's not usually the way it works 546 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: to get Ohio State, to get l s U, to 547 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: get Florida, Like usually you have to be a head 548 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: coach somewhere else. It's not always an elite program, but 549 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: it's a job where you've proved you can be a 550 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: head coach. Lincoln Riley got USC because what he did 551 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. And when you watch Ryan Day against hardbod 552 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: these last two years, you saw a clinic on one 553 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: team was tough mentally and definitely physically, and the other 554 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: team was soft. And in my life, and I was 555 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: thinking about it this weekend, I'm thirty eight years old. 556 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: So through the nineties, through the two thousands, and through 557 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: these last like twelve years, Ohio State has consistently been 558 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: one of the most physically tough teams in the NFL 559 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: Jim trust or I mean in college football, Jim Trestle 560 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: and Urban Meyer. You can't fake that. They were good 561 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: on defense, and they ran the football and there was 562 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: a physical element to their players, their mentality and the 563 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: way they went about their business. Ryan Day is not 564 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: actually an Urban Meyer guy, even though he coached for him. 565 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: Ryan Day is a Chip Kelly guy. That was the 566 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: person he played for in college in New Hampshire, and 567 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: that was the guy that really got his career rolling 568 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and then he transitioned from the NFL 569 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: to Urban Meyer. Ryan Day's mentor, it's Chip Kelly. And 570 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: when you think about Chip Kelly's downfall is he's soft. 571 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: His pace of play in which he wants to operate 572 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: usually gets punked and neutralized by physical teams. It's why 573 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: his best teams in his career at Oregon always got 574 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: stopped by Stanford Jim Harbaugh. And when David Shaw had 575 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: a really good team and they lost in the biggest 576 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: games to Auburn, the SEC like it was not a 577 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: good match for them. And it's taken hardball a little 578 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: while to get the physical mentality in Michigan. But what 579 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: you've seen these last two years is Ryan Day, the talent, 580 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: honest team quarterback and wide receiver. Like I love quarterbacks 581 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: and wide receivers and you need those players in college 582 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: and in the NFL to win. But when that is 583 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: the ethos of your team, when that is the core 584 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: of your team, you're somewhat screwed. The Chiefs somewhat get 585 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: away with it. Why they have the greatest quarterback potentially 586 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: we've ever seen, becauseide like Tom Brady and like Peyton Manning, 587 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know, he might be better than Peyton 588 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: Manning when it's all said and done. And Joe Montana, 589 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: like this guy is that good? C J. Stroud tapped 590 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: it overrated. I'm sorry, I've been saying it for a while. 591 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: Not that good. And what happened started getting punched in 592 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: the mouth and what did he do? Kind of wilted 593 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: because it's not that easy. And when you punch soft 594 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: teams in the mouth and you start shoving them around, 595 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: typically they wilt. Now two physical teams play, someone has 596 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: to wilt. Someone usually has to say uncle or wave 597 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: the white flag. But that was a mismatch in physicality 598 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: and mentality. And you saw it, and ultimately Ohio State 599 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: they don't mess around with that. Now. I can't imagine 600 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys that are cool with 601 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Day these last two years. You're not allowed to 602 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: lose that game. Ohio State hadn't lost that game since 603 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: two thousand, same year Jim Harbaugh was playing in the NFL. 604 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: C J. Stroud hadn't even been born. They hadn't lost 605 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: at home to Michigan. So I'm not saying he should 606 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: get fired, but like, I don't think he's good enough 607 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: for Ohio State because this is now his program, his culture, 608 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: his players and hardballs. You know, basically backhanded him two 609 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: years in a row, and he's going to the playoffs 610 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: and Ryan Day is headed to the Rose Bowl, which 611 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: still cool to me but doesn't really mean anything. Matt 612 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: Rule became the Nebraska head coach. I've said this forever 613 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: about the NBA. When you're like a top fifteen twenty player, 614 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: you have zero liability, nothing matters. You can get injured 615 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: at any moment and people will still give you the 616 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: Max Clay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis. It 617 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: does not matter. There is not a better person to 618 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: be in America than a star NBA player. Zero liability, 619 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: you have zero. Like anything that happens with the team. 620 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: A dude could jump off the stadium, kill himself, not 621 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: your problem. Your leg can shatter Paul George does not matter. 622 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: Do you know who also fits in this category? College 623 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: coaches that go to the NFL. If you have a 624 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: good resume in college, there is no reason for you 625 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,959 Speaker 1: if you want to scratch the itch to take the 626 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: college or take the NFL job like Matt Rule did, 627 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: because you will immediately have the pick of the litter. 628 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: Wisconsin was calling him, Arizona State was calling him, Nebraska 629 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: was calling him. I just read he got eight years, 630 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: seventy two million dollars. I've been fired twice. First time 631 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL, my contract was over. I didn't have 632 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: any money coming to me. I had to figure out 633 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: what to do with my life. The second time, when 634 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: old Mark Davis and Mark Badine with the Raiders, they 635 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: came after me and they won. I had months left 636 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: on my contract, and I remember being like, well, you 637 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: guys gotta pay me out right, pay for the next 638 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: three or four months or whatever. I basically got paid. 639 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: I got fired September one and got paid the rest 640 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: of the year. Remember thinking like this is pretty cool, 641 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, not that I still did stuff and I 642 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: was able to work some noncompete stuff, but I remember, 643 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: I've never in my entire life got money for just 644 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: not working. Now I've made money in the stock market 645 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: or whatever, but I've had to invest it. Like I 646 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: just got fired and they had to pay me out. 647 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: Matt Rule. When the Carolina Panthers fired Matt Rule, they 648 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: owed him forty million dollars. I have so much respect 649 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: for these coaches that immediately jump back into coaching. And 650 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: I saw this thing on the internet the other day 651 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: where he's like, I just miss it. I miss having 652 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: a whistle, I miss being around the guys. Like, say, 653 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: what you want about Matt Rule is he's gonna fix Nebraska. 654 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's clearly gonna be pretty hard, Ohio State, Michigan, 655 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: Penn State, even Fickle at Wisconsin. It's tough. But I 656 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: do respect like most of us would at least take 657 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: a year, Like, you know, I'm just gonna do some 658 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: fun shit. I got forty million coming to me even 659 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: if I take a job, you know, thirty million left. 660 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: At least, I'm gonna have a year. I'm gonna take 661 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: the half of you know, the rest of the fall 662 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: off that I got fired, and this entire next year 663 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: to just take a deep breath. Not only did he 664 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: not do that, he jumped back into a program that 665 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: is it shambles. It's gonna be very very difficult, and 666 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: the standard and the expectations are gonna be really high. 667 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: So I don't know Matt Rule. I know people that 668 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: know him that we used to scout and go through 669 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: Baylor and Temple, and they really liked him. I do 670 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: respect any guy that could easily chill forty million dollars. 671 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: I think most people listening to this. I fancy myself 672 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: a pretty ambitious person. I know we got a pretty 673 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: ambitious listener group. I think most of us might just 674 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: take it to he breath for a second and just 675 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, maybe head to Italy, I don't know New Zealand, Australia. 676 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: Ship just check and ship out. He did not. He 677 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: jumped right back in and uh he got seventy two 678 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: million dollars, but he already had forty comments, so he 679 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: actually only had a thirty two million dollars, which he 680 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: easily would have done next year when he had the 681 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: pick of the litter again. And last but not least, 682 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: Wisconsin hired Luke Fickle, who you know, I think is 683 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: a really really good coach. And anytime you can hire 684 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: someone in college or the pros that you feel good 685 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: about doing more with less, that's impressive. Like, say what 686 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: you want about the Giants, they might not win many 687 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: games moving forward. What we saw to Brian day Ball 688 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: this year, it's like he can do more with less. 689 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: I saw Jim Harbott Stanford when he got with Alex 690 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: Smith some of the quarterbacks he's had in Michigan, Like 691 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: that's impressive. Andy Reid started rattling off divisions and playoff 692 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: appearances with Alex Smith, like that's impressive. Anyone you know 693 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: can win with Brett Favor, Peyton Manning in their prime, right, 694 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. Most people can win at Ohio State. 695 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: I'd argue anyone worth their salt can win at Ohiuse State. 696 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: Can you win an Oregon State? Can you win at Cincinnati? 697 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: Can you get a team to the BCS from Cincinnati? 698 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: So Wisconsin, Luke Fickle, who's actually Mike Vrabel, I think's 699 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: best friend, who. I actually think it had to cross 700 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: some people at Ohio State's mind. Do we make Mike 701 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: Vrabel Lincoln Riley level offer? Do we just offer them 702 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty million dollars? Now, I think coaching in 703 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: the NFL is a way better job than coaching in college. 704 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: You don't have to deal with recruiting, you get way 705 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: more time off in the off season. It's just you 706 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: answer to one person, not an A D A border 707 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: regions of President boosters. But it had to cross some 708 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: people's mind in Ohio State. Do we just offer Mike 709 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: Vrabel something so goddamn big that it'll even be hard 710 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: for him to say no? Do? And I actually keep 711 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: an eye on that. That's just you know, a little 712 00:36:51,760 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: a little something I thought of the other day. And 713 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: sing and the volume
