8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: where I'm at right now. As you know, I like

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: to gamble. I like to dabble. And I didn't gamble

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: that much, just put a couple hundred dollars spread it

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: around on some different guys on the Masters because I

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: didn't really feel good about it. Uh, And I'm luckily

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: luckily I didn't waste any more money because I'm gonna

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: lose it all. I don't think there's no chance. All

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: my guys stink. I guess I got. I got John

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: not looking pretty. It's not looking pretty at all. That

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: being said, there's a football show and we're gonna talk

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a little draft. We're gonna talk a little to Shaun Watson.

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: We are going to uh talk a little bit about

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: the lying media season and everything that's going on and

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: the freak out that's going you know, through just the

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: social media channels and the television shows. And then we'll

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: do Middleoff mail bag as of course at John Middlecoff

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: is the Instagram. You just shoot me a d M

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: on Instagram and then I'll read your question here on

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the show. It's pretty easy peasy. And of course if

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: you could subscribe to the channel separate from Collins feed.

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Collins got a little feed on not a little feed,

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: it's a massive feed on his Fox Sports deal. I

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: also go up there, but I also have a three

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: and out feed. It helps if you subscribe to that one.

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, And uh I had tip you

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: on that one a little, Derek Jeter, Jeff respect. But

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: I want to start with what's going on right now

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And this go on all off season,

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: but these last couple of weeks is when you really

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: hone in your board and the draft meetings are taking place,

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: and there's kind of a build up, you know, because

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: this is a huge interview process to ultimately be in

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: position to potentially draft a guy, unlike an interview process

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: like in a normal job. Right, even when head coaches

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: get hired or you or me get hired at a place,

46
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the interview once, maybe if it's a big boy job,

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: you interview a second time round of interviews and then

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: potentially they offer you a job or not. Right, Well,

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: in the draft period, you are doing all this research

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: in the fall, gathering all this information. Then you get

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: with your bosses and you start presenting them the information.

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: They also start looking at the player gathering their own information,

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: and you put all this information. Then on a typical year,

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: you go to the combine. Then after the combine you

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: have more sets of meetings than the pro days, and

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: then before the draft you have more sets of meetings

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: at the hope to offer some of these individuals jobs

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: a k being able to draft them. It's pretty unique, right.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: You don't actually, unless you draft number one, have control

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: over who you pick. Right, technically this year you do

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: have too, because you know who's gonna go number one,

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: but like you know, the Chicago Bears or the Seattle Seahawks,

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: or just pick any team pass like five, they kind

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: of got no clue. I mean, you've got an idea,

65
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of moving parts, right. There is

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: a lot of unknown, there's a lot about of your control.

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: And the thing with draft meetings, and in my experience,

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: they just they happen a lot. I mean, you have

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: several sets of draft meetings leading up and the first part,

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: like I said, is really to lay out the person

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: because ultimately in the NFL, like in any job whose

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: main product is the people, you gotta get to understand

73
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: for the person. You know, you have to get a

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: feel for the type guy that you're gonna bring in.

75
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: And the reality is in these draft meetings, one thing

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: you're constantly bringing up talking character and about how he

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: operated in his program, what he was like, how he

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: treated people. The thing you'll never be able to know,

79
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and this will never be fixed, is how he'll truly

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: be able to handle millions of dollars. Now, maybe with

81
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: the the new rules passing in college football. My favorite

82
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: part about the college football rules is like they can't

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: let them sell their likeness, and then the people are like,

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: let them sell their likeness, and everyone's like it's just

85
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: gonna be card dealerships and all this stuff. It's like,

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: you fucking morons. It's gonna be Internet. It's gonna be

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: Instagram ads, it's gonna be YouTube channels. This ain't brother,

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: All the money's made on the interweb, on their social

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: media channels. Michael Pittman is a good example. He's now

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: going about to go into a second year with the Colts.

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: He had a massive YouTube channel when he was on

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: the USC football team, but he couldn't monetize it. I

93
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: got a couple of YouTube channels, monetize them both. The

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: moment Michael Pittman, you know, left school, he started monetizing

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the channel, started to have people sending him free stuff.

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: That's how these guys are gonna make money through in

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Stagram and up YouTube and Twitter and TikTok and all

98
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: those channels. That's where the majority of the money is

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: gonna come. So maybe in like ten years you'll be like, well,

100
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Pittman junior junior was making a million

101
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: dollars in college and he was super focused, So you'd

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: have a better idea of how they're gonna handle money

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: right now. You don't. Right right now, you have no

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: clue if you're gonna draft a guys seventh overall, how

105
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: he'll handle getting twenty five million dollars. So you try

106
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: to work through all that, and you know, every kid

107
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: is different. I do think the majority of players in

108
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, in my experience, going to different practices for

109
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the last eight years, whether it be the forty Niners

110
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: or the Raiders, most guys in the NFL pretty good guys,

111
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: really high level guys. If they were in society, if

112
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: they were working normal jobs like you and me, they

113
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: would kill it. We have a small percentage of bad apples,

114
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: just like you do everywhere. So that's why when those

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: guys come up in the draft meetings, whether they've been suspended,

116
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: whether they've been in trouble, whether they've had, you know,

117
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: issues with the law, it's a serious conversation, but there

118
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: still is a lot of unknown there. Are they over it?

119
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: It Was it a one time incident? Was it uh?

120
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, was it a consistent habit of behavior? Like?

121
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Was it part like their habit was to get in trouble.

122
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: That was part of the deal, That was part of

123
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: the package. You know. That's where you talk it out

124
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: in these draft meetings and then ultimately the reason you're

125
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: having these meetings is because of the player. So the

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: last couple of months, I would imagine this year, with

127
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: no combine, you start talking about the talent and building

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: up where he's gonna go on your draft board. Is

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: he of high level starter? Is he a functional starter?

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Is he an average starter? Is he a backup? And

131
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: depending on how different teams do it different ways, what

132
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: round would you draft him in? How high impact of

133
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: a player you do, you start putting him on the

134
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: draft board. But here's the simple reality with the way

135
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: the draft works. Just because all the scouts get together

136
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: and you build a draft board and you love to

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: say we're gonna go best player available, And what that

138
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: truly means is you have a draft board vertically, which

139
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: is every position quarterback up and down, running back up

140
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and down. Right, if you just look across and you

141
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: just go quarter back, running back, all the way to

142
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: like safety, and you just place all the positions on

143
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: top of the board, I guess that would be horizontally

144
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: and then down vertically. You place each position right so

145
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: as guys come off the board, you can take them

146
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: off and then ideally with the best player available, you'll

147
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: have a guy with every pick who is the highest

148
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: ranked player. Now, earlier in rounds, you were gonna have guys,

149
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of people that are equal. Right, if you pick,

150
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: you might have seven guys that are all great of

151
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: the same, maybe a couple of corners, maybe a couple

152
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: of wide receivers, maybe a tackle, maybe a quarterback. Then

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: you'd have to factor in your position power rankings, right,

154
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: obviously quarterback, oh, tackle, defensive end, whatever, etcetera. For me,

155
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: running back probably last, and then figure it out. But

156
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I'd argue most of that stuff is a little bit

157
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: bullshit because deep down, when your pick comes, no matter

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: how much your draft meetings have encompassed, how much time

159
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: you've put in, I know, a lot of scouts I

160
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: know get very frustrated. You saw articles this week or

161
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: within the last couple of weeks about Belichick's scouts getting

162
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: really frustrated because the moment the season ends and he

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of morphs into off season mode, they become irrelevant.

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: They do all this work and then the moment it

165
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: becomes quote unquote draft season, they're not needed anymore. It's

166
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: like they do all their work during the season and

167
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: then once the season ends and supposed to be their season,

168
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: they're just kind of rendered irrelevant, thrown in the corner.

169
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Their voice doesn't matter. And this happens in a lot

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: of teams. I know a lot of scouts feel that way,

171
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of personnel people feel that way. Why because

172
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches now have the juice. So when

173
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: it comes on draft day, and I've heard a lot

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: of stories over the years, I'm sure you've probably read something.

175
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, information gets out just because a guy is drafted.

176
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: That does not reflect the scouting department because ultimately, every

177
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: single person in that room is making a suggestion. The

178
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: decision maker, whether that be the head coach. Let's face it,

179
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: the guy at the top of the organizational you know,

180
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: uh food chart here, uh the organizational flow chart. The

181
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: guy with the most uses the owner, and if the

182
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: owner wants a player, they are taking that player. Why

183
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: he's in charge, and it doesn't I don't think happened

184
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: that often, but it definitely happens, and they influenced drafts,

185
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: and it actually happened pretty recently. Now, again this is

186
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: a guy that has a long history of this, but

187
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins with the Washington football team, as we know,

188
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Jay Grew and the coaching staff wanted a different player,

189
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: and they ultimately ended up with Dwayne Haskins, who clearly

190
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: was a disaster. Didn make it through a second year.

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Ronrivera cuttam. But the question mark is that when they

192
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: get to the draft and the draft is happening, do

193
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: you go off the board, Because I do think most

194
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: draft boards, universally, if the if the personnel department plays

195
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: a role in it, you know everyone is gonna be

196
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: a little hit or miss, but you get everyone's opinion

197
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: throughout the draft process as you're watching the players. A

198
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: lot of teams do this. If there is a question

199
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: whether we think we should rate this guy as a

200
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: mid first round or you know, back first round, or

201
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: if your draft process is a high end starter an

202
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: average starter, usually watch tape on those guys. That's how

203
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: all the good teams that I know spend a lot

204
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: of times during their draft meetings watching film on players

205
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: that they're arguing about. If you have a guy, I

206
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: have a guy that's a no brainer number one, like

207
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: a Trevor Lawrence, you don't waste that much time on

208
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: especially if you're not gonna be in position to draft them.

209
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: But the majority of players in the league and the

210
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: majority of players in the draft kind of find themselves

211
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: and stacks. So by the time that you have you

212
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: might have a group of running backs that are all

213
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: basically stacked the same and you watch those players and

214
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: then you rank them. But on draft night, if your

215
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: head coaches the boss and your GM ultimately answers to

216
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: him in the hierarchy, Let's just use Seattle as an example.

217
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: If Pete wants the player that's third in the in

218
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: the rankings, and he's not the highest guy on your

219
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: board when you pick, but John Schneider has the other

220
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: guy rated higher, they're gonna take who Pee Carroll wants.

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: If you know that is the case. And that's where

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I think we find ourselves in a tough position in

223
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: football to judge all these teams. And I see this

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, I've seen it before, like with

225
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Everyone's like, God, Mike Mayock is doing a

226
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: terrible job, is he? I have no idea what Mike

227
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: Mayock is doing, because I saw Mike Mayock for a

228
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: decade put out his lists, put out his top five

229
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: players in every position, put out you know, talk about

230
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: players on TV. And I thought, when I was in

231
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: the NFL when I've been out of the NFL, I went, God, damn,

232
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: this guy is pretty good. This guy knows what he's

233
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: talking about. My friends in the NFL were like, God,

234
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: Mike is impressive. He nails a lot of these players

235
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: and then goes to the Raiders and it's a disaster.

236
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: Why he's not the decision maker, he has nothing to

237
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: do with it, Like the forty Niners make this crazy trade.

238
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: John Lynch Wheelan No, Kyle, Okay, Kyle wants to order back.

239
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Kyle's the boss. And I'm not diminishing any of these

240
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: guys roles. But this is what one thing I've always

241
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: thought when I worked in the NFL. Once I got

242
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: fired from the Eagles, I'm like, nobody, I repeat, nobody

243
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL, or even outside of the NFL, has

244
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: any clue if I was a good or bad scout.

245
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: Beside the people I worked with, they are the only

246
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: people that know. Since I've got to the media, I

247
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: don't even since I've gotten to the podcast world, and

248
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: I just do this for a living. That's a very

249
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: public job. And you, if you listen to me, you

250
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: have an opinion. He's Middlecoff is pretty good. God Middlecloff sucks.

251
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: Like you you see my work, it's just out there

252
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: for everyone to see. But with teams, we have no clue.

253
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: So we assume when a guy is drafted picked by team,

254
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: whoever like that was the highest rated guy on their

255
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: board might be or it might have been the guy

256
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: the owner loved. It might have been the guy that

257
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: the GM that has the juice over the coach loved,

258
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: even though the coach had three other guys higher. It's

259
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: where in this period of time, it's very complicated to

260
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: judge anybody. And truly, no, here's what I do know.

261
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: The best teams, they truly do have a collaborative effort,

262
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: and they truly do follow their board. They and they

263
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: can work together. And there is as Belichick, who I

264
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: was told he's never told me this or actually never

265
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: met him. I know people that have worked for him,

266
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: and he loved the term. There's no growth without confrontation.

267
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of football coaches live by This

268
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: is part of a football atmosphere is aggressive. You've got

269
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: huge egos. Now you've got huge money with GMS and coaches,

270
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: you're gonna argue. Guess what that's healthy? Can you get

271
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: to a solution that is the correct one, because that's

272
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: truly all that matters. And I think the best teams

273
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: can to why the best teams typically have the best

274
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: players and they typically win the most right, So listen

275
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: is Seattle perfect? No? But for the most part, do

276
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing? Do you think Kevin Colbert

277
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: and Mike Tomlin agree on everything? No chance. But do

278
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: they ultimately pretty consistently come to the right conclusion? Of

279
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: course they do. That's the thing with Belichick, like he's

280
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: got no one arguing with them, and if they are

281
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: arguing with them, I don't think he care's what they say.

282
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I know Andy and Beach's relationship is extremely special and

283
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: they've worked extremely well together. Even John Dorsey when he

284
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: was there right worked really well with Andy, and I

285
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: think that's the key is to be on the same page.

286
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: But even once this drafts over, we won't truly know.

287
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: Like in these teams never tell you till after the fact.

288
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: People get fired and they fail. Who's the actual person

289
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: making these decisions. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

293
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: I gotta dive into this really quick because every single year,

294
00:14:53,880 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: every single year rents wash repeat, the cycle happens and

295
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: from about I would say a week after free agency,

296
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: because I guess sometimes it happens at the combine and

297
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: then free agency takes over, and then free agency really

298
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: just goes strong for like a week. Right, It's the

299
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks or a couple of day lead up

300
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: to free agency, the tampering period, then when the guys

301
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: actually signed, and then by about the weekend, all the

302
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: sweet players or have teams. So we're just kind of

303
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: moving on to the draft and we really hone in

304
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: to the college players and things come from every different angle.

305
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: I saw this great graphic today. Uh the Master's Twitter

306
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: account tweeted it out every single shot on whole twelve

307
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: short Little Part three, and it just had a tracer

308
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: of every shot. It was incredible. I mean, balls going

309
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: all over the place, sand water five ft from the green,

310
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: over in the bushes. It's it's awesome. It's an incredible visual.

311
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. We're just stories coming out

312
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: from different media members. This team is in love with

313
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: this play. I have talked to three teams who can't

314
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: stand this player. This guy is an idiot, this guy

315
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: is great, This coach loves this guy, this GM hates

316
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: this guy. Here's what I know in the history. Well,

317
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: I get I can't say that in my time being

318
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: around football. I would say my adult life, I don't

319
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: ever remember a team. Maybe if you're drafting one, you

320
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: come out and say it, but any team just somewhere

321
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: that is out of their control coming out on record

322
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: and saying, you know what, we're drafting seventh. But I

323
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: just wanted to uh tell our fans and tell the

324
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: league who we got in the top ten and why. Uh.

325
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence obviously would be our number one overall pick.

326
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: We would have Zach Wilson number two. Though we have

327
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks, some question marks with his

328
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: character before his junior year. We do question his level

329
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: of competition, but his skill is fantastic and just went

330
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, one to three. Oh, let's get to justin fields.

331
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: We actually don't agree with dan Orlovsky's comments. We think

332
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: he's a hard worker, but we do question his accuracy.

333
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: We actually think his play speed is much slower than

334
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: the forty time he ran, I'm just giving examples here.

335
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: You know what's never happened that we have no fucking clue,

336
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: including myself, who has access to about seven decision makers

337
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: on different teams. I don't even ask him one. I'm

338
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: just not a reporter and too like, I know, it's

339
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: a weird situation. I don't really It's not like I

340
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: care about being lied to, but I just don't bother

341
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: anyone during this time. Besides, like my friends that are

342
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: quote unquote scouts, and then we really just talk about

343
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: the players. But I would never if I text Brett

344
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Veach right now and be like, you know who the

345
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: top five players you plan on drafting at thirty one?

346
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: Or how he like who do you think you're gonna

347
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: draft at twelve? Or John Lynch like what what do

348
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: you guys? Mac Jones Really, in a million years, they

349
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: would never say anything. To think that all these plans

350
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: that are out there are being leaked from the team

351
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: are actually true would be beyond naive. It would also

352
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: be borderline insanity based on we have the mountains of

353
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: evidence for decades that this is quote unquote lane season.

354
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: No one is telling the truth. Part of the market

355
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: manipulation is bad mouthing a player that you actually like.

356
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: You know why, because you don't care that if other

357
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: teams maybe believe the lies that you're telling. But here's

358
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: a reality. Most of the teams don't believe the crap

359
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: that's coming out. Why they have the actual information. I

360
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: was driving around the other day, and you know, I'm

361
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: not trying to act like I'm above it, because I'm not.

362
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: I was a sports radio junkie growing up, and now

363
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: it's really sports podcast. But it's hard for me. And again,

364
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not trying to get on my high

365
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: horse snack like I'm better than any of it. Maybe

366
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: it's just other people's opinions on sports born me now.

367
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: But I struggled to listen to sports radio, and I

368
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: realized why the other day I was driving around listen

369
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: to I'm just checking the channels. I just like seeing

370
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: what the topics are, you know, see if these people

371
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: you know are on the right stuff. And I come

372
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: across a local radio station that was like, I can't

373
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: believe that Matt Jones d U I got covered up.

374
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Justin Fields or Trey Lance had

375
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: a d U? I like, are you guys, morons. Can

376
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: you google mac Jones. It's one of the first thing

377
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: that comes up. One too, like, why do this is

378
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: because you don't know about it? Doesn't mean literally every

379
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: team in the NFL knows about it, the SEC which

380
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: is arguably the NFL light. If you don't think it

381
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: was a major story in quote unquote SEC Land when

382
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: the Alabama's backup quarterback out a d u I whatever,

383
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: three years ago, you're fucking idiot. And so many people

384
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff. They have no clue what they're

385
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: talking about. In all these reactions. It's all kind of fake,

386
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, fake or just uninformed clueless and that Listen.

387
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm lucky, having worked in the NFL know a lot

388
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: of these people and understand these people laugh at this

389
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: stuff like you guys are idiots. I think one problem too,

390
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: and I've been thinking a lot about this is a

391
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: lot of former players are on television. Well, who do

392
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 1: former players spend the majority of time around coaches? So

393
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: who is feeding them information? Assistant coaches? Think about that?

394
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: I think who is the least valuable person? I mean, honestly,

395
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm not even trying again back to the sports rade

396
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: of thing. I'm not trying to act high and mighty.

397
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to act like an asshole. The guy

398
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: I care about least typically during the draft is the

399
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: assistant coach for the most part, Now that I've been

400
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: around some that are very very good at their job,

401
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: that are a lead evaluators, but it's his opinion is

402
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: like lowest on the totem pole. That is the guy

403
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: feeding a lot of information to these quote unquote former

404
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: players on television because that's the guy's know you think

405
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I spent a lot of time

406
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: when I was the starting right guard for the Tampa

407
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers around their college director. We often just talk

408
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: players and what it's like to scout the SEC region.

409
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: They're not talking to those guys. I can't tell you

410
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: how often I talked to a friend who has a

411
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: region in the country. After someone goes on television and

412
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: says something, they're like, where could this is a guy

413
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: that they talked about a player that this guy goes

414
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: into the school countless times talks to all the assistant coaches,

415
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: the trainers, and literally the other players on his team

416
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: at said school. But those guys get big platforms. Why

417
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: it's just the way. I honestly think it's pretty anequated,

418
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: like it made sense probably like the seventies, eighties and nineties,

419
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: get super famous people on television, right if a famous

420
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: player put them on television, you know, Joe Montana put

421
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: them on television. Bill Walsh put him on television. We

422
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: have a long history. Now that doesn't necessarily work. The

423
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: NBA king of that like Chris whoever, Reggie Miller are terrible,

424
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: are god awful? Right? Thing about the NFL, all these

425
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: famous players that are on television, who are just like

426
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: am I am I really listening and watching this right now?

427
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: How we saw him on the Night Football? It seems

428
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: like a nice guy. Booker was on TV like that

429
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: was awful? You know why because he didn't know what

430
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: he was talking about. Hell, you put Lewis Riddick on television.

431
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: He played His front office experience is really what separates

432
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: him when he's on television, right, he can just talk

433
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: about angles that You're like, WHOA, I didn't think about that.

434
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: You don't need to be some superstar player to have

435
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: good opinions now, Troy or Tony Romo, Troyan There are exceptions,

436
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: but for the most part, like, I don't really care

437
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: and listen, I actually kind of like this guy, but

438
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: like dani Orlosky's takes on individual stuff like is that

439
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: really coming now? I would imagine he's gaining a lot

440
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: more contacts through his job, and I think he's good.

441
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: I actually enjoy him for the most part. But when

442
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: he comes out and says something like do I really

443
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: think he's getting the information from someone that knows what

444
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: they're talking about? I don't. I just don't. And the

445
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: teams know this. They laugh at it, they think it's

446
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: a joke. Yet all the fans and how I'm living

447
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: in the heat of it right now because of everything

448
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: that's going on with the Niners and mac Jones. Here's

449
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: what I know. With the forty Niners, since Kyle and

450
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: John lynch Off got here, no one had any clue

451
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: who they're gonna draft. Last a couple of years. Obviously,

452
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa went to Overall that wasn't like that big

453
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: of a secret. But McGlinchey when he went nine, no clue.

454
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: No one had any clue, and it turns out that

455
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: was the wrong pick. They should take coldon Miller, but Brandon,

456
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I you Javon Kinlaw didn't hear any of those names,

457
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: had absolutely zero clue that was gonna happen. Joe Staley

458
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: literally retired, and it didn't come out until they basically

459
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: announced Joe Staley's gonna retire, like there are no leaks

460
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: in that organization. Now you're telling me the biggest trade

461
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: in forty Diners history. They're just telling everyone. Mac Jones

462
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: a lock pick. I just don't believe it. I don't

463
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: believe I see Jerry Jones love Kyle Pitts. You know

464
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: why if I was the Cowboys here, do you know

465
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: what I'd be good at? You know what teams should

466
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: hire me to do? Middlecoff come in and help us. Uh,

467
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: kind of mold some lies to leak out, because you

468
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: know what the lie would be if I was the Cowboys?

469
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: What do I need? Defensive help? What else do I need?

470
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: I need my offensive line to be better because it's

471
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: getting old and guys are falling apart. You know what

472
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: I do not need offensive weapons. I got three legit

473
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: fucking wide receivers. I got a Marie I'm paying twenty

474
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Two. I got Ceedee Lamb who

475
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: looks like a star. And I got Gallup, who's probably

476
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: the best third wide receiver in the league. I got

477
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: a forty million dollar quarterback. I got a fifteen million

478
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: dollar running back. I got a really good backup running back.

479
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: I do not need some star tight end. You know

480
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: what I do need. I need defensive players. I need

481
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: offensive linement. So what would I do? I tell everyone

482
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, because it's believable, loves Kyle Pits. Everyone's like,

483
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Jerry Jones love cow Pits. You know what

484
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: they want. They want someone to draft Kyle Pits because

485
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: they know all four or five quarterbacks are gonna go.

486
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, like pen A Sewell or

487
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: Slater sitting there at ten. It's like I can put

488
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: these pieces of the puzzle sitting at my ask in California.

489
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: Yet everyone's like, oh my god, Jerry loves Kyle Pitts.

490
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: I heard Jerry loves Kyle. Remember it was Jerry Jones

491
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: loves Johnny Manziel. And then they took Zack Martin. Like

492
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: it's just everyone's getting played and everyone's freaking out. Every

493
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: former NFL executive who works in the media always says,

494
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: this is lying season. Don't believe anything yet every single person,

495
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: and again back to the mac Jones thing, I think

496
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: every single person I know, I'm on countless uh forty

497
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: Niners text threads. All this stuff is true. It's gonna happen.

498
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out now. Don't get me wrong. I'm not

499
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: naive enough to think that there's not some truth that's something,

500
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: But it's just every single year, the same time of year,

501
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: the same lies come out, the same people fall for it.

502
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: Then the draft happens, and everyone's like, oh my god,

503
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: didn't see that coming. Of course you didn't, because you

504
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: know who. It doesn't behoove to leak out their information.

505
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: All these teams, it's in their best interest to not

506
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: have anyone know what they're gonna do. And that is

507
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: currently why I don't really believe anything that's coming out.

508
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: One thing I do know, I think this NFL Draft

509
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of the highest rated events in years.

510
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there will be a broadcast beside NFL broadcast.

511
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: I saw that the National Championship Baylor Gonzaga did seventeen

512
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: million people. The NBA during the bubble didn't have a

513
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: broadcast over seven million people. So the highest rated broadcast

514
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: beside the NFL over the last year was Bailor Gonzaga

515
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: and some college football stuff too, But I'm incorporating football,

516
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: college and pro together. I think the NFL draft will

517
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: be there will be nothing non football. There will be

518
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: higher rated in the last you know, since Corona. It

519
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be massive. I think that's gonna be one

520
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: of the most anticipated drafts in years. Obviously, there's been

521
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: trades to their bunch of quarterbacks. Three, there's just a

522
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: lot of unknown. I think people assume that they know.

523
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't think most of us know. Hell I like

524
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: I said, I know these people in these buildings, I

525
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: have no clue, And I do think it would be

526
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: smart if I was one of these teams. If I

527
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: was the Cowboys, do you know what I would leak?

528
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 1: If I wanted some of these guys that I love,

529
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, I wouldn't just say, you know, the Cowboys

530
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: like Kyle Pitts. I'd say, hey, let's say Jerry likes

531
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: cow Pits. Then everyone will believe it. And that's exactly

532
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: what happened. Kyle likes Mack Jones, well, of course he does.

533
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: He like Kirk Cousins. It makes sense and everyone believes it.

534
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Let's wait and see, because I would bet we're gonna

535
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: find out there were a lot of lies told. Okay,

536
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: let's dive into Shawn Watson. And I know as much

537
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: as all of us know nothing. No one beside the

538
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: people that were involved, the seawan and the females know

539
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: the truth. So I'm not gonna give you some bold

540
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: take on what I think the outcome of this situation is. Honestly,

541
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: when these situations happen, whether it's you know, domestic assault,

542
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: domestic abuse, hell, even like stuff with drugs, sometimes the

543
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: lingo that comes out the like the law lingo, I

544
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: have no clue what they're even talking about. I went

545
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: to Cow Paul, I got a master's degree from President State.

546
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm a state school guyau Is you're a law degree.

547
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: The depth of my knowledge in terms of the quote

548
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: unquote courtroom is like from law and Order. I can't

549
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: even pretend to know a lot of these comments, the

550
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: back and forth with the lawyers, it's it's over my head.

551
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: And I've seen situations like we all have go both ways.

552
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna pretend to announce I think a

553
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: guy is guilty. Think guys innocent. I don't know. Here's

554
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: what I do know, though, when you draft a quarterback,

555
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: especially a guy really high, who then becomes your franchise quarterback,

556
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: ideally as a general manager slash head coach, that should

557
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: be the guy you least worry about every night you

558
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: go to bed. Nothing ever, in a million years you

559
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: could fathom of this nature happening to him. It's stuff

560
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. You worry about your wide receivers, your

561
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: defensive I'm in maybe you're crazy running back, I don't know,

562
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: but your quarterback you don't even think about. You think

563
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Andy Reid in the last four years or how along

564
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: my homes has been on his team, But definitely since

565
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: my homes started starting, had to worry about, Like I

566
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: wonder if my homes is doing the right thing. Do

567
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: you think the Bills loose sleep at night over Josh Allen,

568
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll over Russell Wilson, Of course not. That's the

569
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: last guy on the totem pole of worrying for those franchises.

570
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: And one thing that happened this week over one of

571
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: the girls came out on camera and was crying and

572
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: talking about why she's coming out about the reasons, she

573
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: doesn't want this to happen to other people. And then

574
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Rusty Harden, the guy that's represented you know all you know,

575
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: from Adrian Peterson to Roger Clemens, came out and said

576
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: that she wanted hush money again that I don't know.

577
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know to believe or not

578
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: believe any of it. But here's what I do know.

579
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: All of his sponsors, Nike, UM and they were countless

580
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: other sponsors I saw on the ticker dropped him this week.

581
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: They said, you know what, this is too big of

582
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: a headache. We don't want to deal with this anymore.

583
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: We are over this. And they backed out and they're gone.

584
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: He got dropped by every sponsor, And I do think

585
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: right now the Deshaun Watson's career is an absolute shambles.

586
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: This guy demanded a trade and the Texans were not

587
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: going to trade him. And then before they could even

588
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: fathom trading the guy, twenty two women have claimed that

589
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: he either sexual assault, sexually inappropriate. Things went down. And

590
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm not a big massage guy, and maybe I need

591
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: to be. I'm kind of get stiff in my older age,

592
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: but I know enough athletes and I just know enough

593
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: people that any high level person, once you find something

594
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: that works, you just do the same thing over and

595
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: over and over again. To me, I'm gonna pre I'm

596
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna say this over and over. I have no clue

597
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: what happened, but you can't be have any common sense

598
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: and not red flag the the reality of him having

599
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: forty plus masseusus. It's one thing. Listen, you live in Texas,

600
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: you got a massage therapist there. You have a place

601
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: in l A. You got a massage therapist there. You

602
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: might have a couple of massage therapists. Forty plus massage therapist.

603
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: I know the way these gms think, I know the

604
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: way these front office people think. To me, right now,

605
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: he is completely untouchable under no circumstances would anyone acquire him. Obviously.

606
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's okay, thanks captain obvious MIDDLECOF.

607
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that until this completely gets scrubbed and

608
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: his reputation and if it can never come out, and

609
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: again I'm not quite sure the litigation, the law, if

610
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: it'll ever just be black and white. He either did

611
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: not do it, they all made it up, or it's

612
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: just gonna be some gray areas. You know, something might

613
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: have happened, but they couldn't prove it. He paid some

614
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: money and it just ends. That's to me, typically the

615
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: way this stuff ends. Maybe I'm wrong, and that is

616
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: just who knows. I have no clue the end result

617
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: of this situation, but I know right now that I

618
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: don't see if this keeps going where it's going, how

619
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: the league does it just put him on that commissioner

620
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: example list and just kind of take it out of

621
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: even the Texans hands. And you've seen the trades that

622
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: have happened. I know for a fact the forty Niners

623
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: desperately wanted to Shaun Watson. Deshaun Watson wanted to be

624
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: a forty Niner about two and a half weeks ago,

625
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: before even less girls had come out. The Niners clearly

626
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: waived the white flag. We ain't dealing with it. Traded

627
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: up to number three, the Carolina Panthers. Their owner paid

628
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: two and a half billion dollars for a franchise. He

629
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: talks over and over and over and over again about

630
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: how he wants to get a franchise quarterback. They said,

631
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: you know what, it's too big of a headache world

632
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: trade for Sam Donald. I don't quite know where that's

633
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna go. Someone tweeted at me today, like, why haven't

634
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: you talked about Deshaun Watson. I don't know what the

635
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: fund do you want me to say? What is there

636
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: to be said beside? This whole situation is a disaster.

637
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: It's a disaster for the Texans, it's a disaster for Watson.

638
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: It's a disaster if has happened to these women, and

639
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: he deserves to go to prison. I say the same

640
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: thing about sexual assault. If if in these he says

641
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: she said, if he did it, throw him in jail.

642
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: If she's making it up, she deserves to go to jail.

643
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: The problem is, that's easy for me to say, we

644
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: never get to the bottom of it because typically in

645
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: these situations there are only two people present, and it's

646
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: just two people going back and forth, so none of

647
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: us know ever what to believe. But even if like

648
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: you tend to lean on like it's all bs, no

649
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: one can deny that this situation. You can't just all

650
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden get all these women to come together

651
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: and say this, And then even if you go, well

652
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: you believe that the crazy you know, uh, people coming

653
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: after de Sean could put that together. Well, then Rusty Harden,

654
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: who defends DeShawn Watson, got like eighteen girls that have

655
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: worked on the Shawan to come out in defense of

656
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: his character. To me, that's a red flag. Why does

657
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: he have so many massage therapists? Why that is insane?

658
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: So right now, I don't know where this is going,

659
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: but the corporations that pay him a lot of money said, yeah,

660
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: we're out. All the teams that were interested in trading

661
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: for a guy that I think most will consider a

662
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: top five or six quarterback said we're out. I've said

663
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: all along. I understand just from reading these things and

664
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: following them that the lawyer always tells you be quiet,

665
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: do not say anything. Here's what I do know. If

666
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: I was in his situation, I don't give a ship

667
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: what Rusty Harden was telling me. If I was innocent

668
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: and this was all bullshit and my character was getting

669
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: dragged through the mud and people thought I was like

670
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: a serial massage therapist assaulter, there is absolutely zero chance.

671
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't care about money. All that stuff is a

672
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: relevant your Your whole life's going down the drain. I

673
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: could not stay silent, and I'm sure there are people

674
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: listening that are involved in the law, and like middle Coop,

675
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: that's not how it works, and I get it, but

676
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I just know myself. I couldn't stay silent.

677
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that indicates anything with Sean, because

678
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: that is what these lawyers tell these guys. But this

679
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: situation has gotten far beyond out of control. Uh. I

680
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: just they take a while to be get figured out anyway.

681
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: It's not just gonna go away, I I it's just honestly,

682
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: it's turning into kind of a disaster for the league.

683
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: I think eventually the league is just gonna need to

684
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: spend him until it's all figured out. Just put him

685
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: on that example list. Obviously he wasn't planning if O

686
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: T A s were coming anyway, but it's like, hey, Deshan,

687
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: no one's training for you, buddy. So um, I think

688
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: the time for the the NFL probably is just suspend them.

689
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, it's just just a sad situation. Okay,

690
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: let's do a little middleoff mail back at John middlecoff

691
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: is the Instagram handle. Also my TikTok handle just got

692
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: on TikTok uh. Early early reviews would be it's really hard.

693
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: It's not very easy to put TikTok together. I don't

694
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: know how these people are doing them going viral overall.

695
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: Take though for TikTok, enjoy it. It's funny, love scrolling through.

696
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: It's a great waste of time. It makes me laugh,

697
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: Unlike Twitter, that makes me angry. I'm trying to slowly

698
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: work off Twitter and just go full time TikTok, Instagram

699
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: much happier places. Ideally just drop social media, but from

700
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: my job, I kind of have to have it. Let's

701
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: go to Andrew at John Middlecoff Middlecoff, now back, what's

702
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: the word on Parson from Penn State. Dude looks like

703
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: a physical freak man amongst boys. Yeah, total freak of

704
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: fifteen pick hybrid outside linebacker Pass Rusher opted out this year.

705
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: Had a buddy at the pro day said it was stupid.

706
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean said, he's just just a complete freak. Um,

707
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: I he's gonna go. He might go in the top ten.

708
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, maybe that's why Jerry's saying

709
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: he wants count pits. Really he wants Michael Parsons wondering

710
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: if you could provide some information on what veterans think

711
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: of rookies, especially at the quarterback position, when did when

712
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: do they know a guy's good? Great? Special would like

713
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: to take on how Justin Herbert wasn't the starter but

714
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: was thrown in and played well when others saw him

715
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: in practice. Seems weird when the head coach says he

716
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: is a backup for a reason, then Justin excels when

717
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: placed in the starting role. It's a pretty good question.

718
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: I think last year we gotta throw out the window

719
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: a little bit though Anthony Lynn bad look for him.

720
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: There was no offseason. They hit the ground running. The

721
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: GLO doesn't know the offense. Anthony Lynn loves Tyrod Taylor.

722
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's understandable, but the moment Justin started playing

723
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: it was it was fire able. I think in general,

724
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: I think you can see physical traits in practice, but football,

725
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: unlike other sports, practice doesn't parallel games because the quarterback

726
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 1: can't get hit. So then you see him in a game,

727
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: in a preseason game, you get a feeling like, Okay,

728
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: this guy's got some You truly don't know untill you

729
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: get him in regular season games. And then you truly

730
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: don't know untill you get him in tight spots playing

731
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: big time teams. So I just think it takes time,

732
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know right away when you

733
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: have the physical tools, you're like wow. I bet people

734
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: a practice were like and we watched it hard knocks,

735
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: they're like his arm. It was clear he was just

736
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: throwing babies. But then he started doing it. I guess

737
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: they didn't have preseason last year. And then he gets

738
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: in the games and it was it was a rap

739
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: tyrod tyrod. Taylor's Charger career ended the moment Herbert's first

740
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: game ended. That game gets the Chiefs. So I say,

741
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: typically you know after some games, some regular season games.

742
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: But to me, like greatness, like part of Mahomes greatness

743
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: was he got the MVP in the regular sea and

744
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: it was awesome. I actually learned so much about him

745
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: watching over Corona of the game against the Patriots, in

746
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: the game he lost in the n FC Championship game,

747
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: the Moxi he showed in the second half. To me,

748
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: you find out I'm watching with Bryson d Shambo. I

749
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: gambled on him, like Bryson is a great front runner,

750
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: He's not a great battler. Like the best part about

751
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods is The dude would fucking battle when he

752
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: didn't have his A game. Do you know what I

753
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: like about great pictures? Like Jacob de gram or like

754
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: a Pedro Martinez or just any of the great pictures,

755
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: great Maddox, whoever you want to pick, Almost the Hall

756
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: of Fame pitchers, Clayton Kershaw, they can give you seven

757
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: innings when they don't have their A stuff like part

758
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: of what makes Tom Brady great. He doesn't play great

759
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: every game, but even when he has a bad game,

760
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: you can still win because he can just power through it.

761
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: He can still make winning plays and that stuff you

762
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: learn over time. But to evaluate it, it's you just

763
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: need a larger sample size. For the past four seasons,

764
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: the Saints have constantly made the playoffs, ultimately losing before

765
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. What do you think the soul cause

766
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: of them not being successful in the playoffs? Do you

767
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,959
Speaker 1: think it could be Breeze inability to make me plays

768
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: when it matters, or could it be the coaching staff?

769
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: I think the last two seasons has been Drew Brees

770
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: the game against the Vikings and Kirk Cousins, Like, what

771
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: was the final score? Wasn't it like one? I mean

772
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: it was a relatively low scoring game. Uh. Part of

773
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: it is Drew just has limitations, right. He just this

774
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: year they beat the Bears and then lost the Bucks.

775
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: He's not an explosive enough player at this time of

776
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: his career because the last couple of years, I thought

777
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: they've had a top two or three roster in the league.

778
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they pounded the Bucks twice. Now, it's hard

779
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: to beat a team three times. But yeah, I mean,

780
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to blame it on Drew Brees. I'm

781
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: not like trying to be a hater. I think Drew

782
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: Brees a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's fantastic, but

783
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: he really aged the last couple of years, hence why

784
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: he retired, and I think his limitations in big spots

785
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: when you know I gained plan extra hard for you

786
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: when I do everything possible. The other thing about game

787
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: planning in a playoff game, I have sixteen games of evidence,

788
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna watch every single snap if I want

789
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: to when I play like Week five. Now, obviously, Drew,

790
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: as you know, two decades worth of game film. But

791
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: my point is, like that specific team, when I'm game

792
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: planning against that team in the playoffs, I have the

793
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: whole season to base it off of, so I know

794
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: your strengths, I know your weakness is and let's face it,

795
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: like Drew, when you have physical limitations, like they typically

796
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: get exposed in the playoffs. I love Peyton Manning, but

797
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: like when I was younger in high school and definitely

798
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: early in college, he was my favorite NFL player. As

799
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: I've gotten older and just I look at the league

800
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: a little differently, Like I would love to be friends

801
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning, but his physical deficiencies as a thrower,

802
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 1: I think limited his ability sometimes outside in cold weather

803
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: throughout his career. It's just you know, there's a Tom

804
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: has An e lade arm. I mean, it's just it's

805
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: a huge benefit that he has. Drew Brees is not Rivers.

806
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of guys just have you know,

807
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: I think have a resume that leaves a little something

808
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: to be desired. And they've had a really great teams,

809
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: Like why didn't they win more? Well when when you

810
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: throw ninety miles an hour, not it's harder to get

811
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: guys out. During the college football season, on the Friday

812
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: Morning Podcast, give us the name of a player to

813
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: watch in a big game. Over the weekend and then

814
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: evaluate his game Saturday, then the following week compare the

815
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: notes we take against the notes that you took. I

816
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: feel you, George. The problem is is I have somewhat

817
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: of a life, and that would take a lot of time.

818
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Uh yeah, we could do something like that,

819
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: and we I mean, we talk a lot about the

820
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: college prospects during the season, but I mean, am I

821
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna sit down and take notes on a college prospect

822
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: on Saturday in October? You know, Because here's the reality

823
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: with the show is Saturday sweet, and I'm not trying

824
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: to act like I watch a ton of college football,

825
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: but then Sunday happens, and when I come out with

826
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: the show on Tuesday, my show on Tuesday is based

827
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: on basically the majority stuff that happened on Sunday and

828
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: the Monday night game. So sometimes games on Saturday can

829
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: be an afterthought. So it'd be a waste of my time.

830
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: And as I've gotten older, I've loved to become a

831
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: more efficient worker, and that would be inefficient. But I

832
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: feel you, I'm not. I'm just messing around. My question

833
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: is if Joe Burrow was entering the draft this year.

834
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: Where would you rank him amongst of the quarterbacks? I

835
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: would have him number two. It would go Trevor Lawrence

836
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. That would be a pretty unreal one too.

837
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: When does the conversation start about potential chief super Bowl hangover?

838
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: History shows is the thing and the Chiefs didn't get

839
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: better this offseason. What are your thoughts? Well, they won

840
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, then they went back the next year,

841
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: to me a hangover, Like isn't a hangover also for

842
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: the winner? I mean, they just went to back to

843
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: back Super Bowls. If they don't go to the super

844
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: Bowl this year, how many teams in league history go

845
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: to three stray super Bowls? That's not normal. If they

846
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: don't make the super Bowl this year, I will not

847
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: call it a super Bowl hangover. I'll just say it's

848
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: really hard to go to three state super Bowls. Especially

849
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: they went the year before they went to the a

850
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 1: f C Championship game. Think about that three year run

851
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game. They lost an overtime at

852
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: home to Brady. Next year, win the super Bowl next year,

853
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl and lose. That's like what

854
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots do with Brady. And that's incredible, Uh, coming

855
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: from someone slobbering at the Chargers, a f C West

856
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: Division winner at five five and a half to one. Yeah,

857
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a pretty big stretch. We

858
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the head coach. Justin Herbert is

859
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to do it with fans. I like Justin Herbert,

860
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: but it's gonna it's gonna be difficult. You talk a

861
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: lot about investing in One of the proven observations is

862
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: the masses buy and sell at the wrong time. The

863
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: herd is almost always wrong. Agreed. Do you think this

864
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: applies to evaluating NFL prospects. Every Pull suggested the forty

865
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: Niners should take a seat. I see what you're gonna say.

866
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: I don't think we can worry about what's being said

867
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: on social media. Talked about it earlier in the podcast

868
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: until they take someone else beside Justin Fields. Then we

869
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: can criticize them. But I'm not going to assume that

870
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna do what every media's member is saying. When

871
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: I just said, I don't believe most of the things

872
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: are saying. I think that's the problem, and I get

873
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: why listen. I'm just like you guys. I react to it,

874
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: and then I catch myself, like, why am I overreacting

875
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: to this? That's what the masses do. Now. If we

876
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: want to overreact on draft night, that's fair, that's okay,

877
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: because then we have like I feel like everyone's like,

878
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe Justin Fields went twelfth in the draft.

879
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: I can't believe Justin Fields fell to twenty. It's like, guys,

880
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: the draft three weeks away, Like, oh yeah, but the

881
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: Bock drafts, It's like, guys, yeah, he hasn't been picked yet.

882
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: I feel like most people fall in love with players

883
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: from media hype. Yeah, the media hype. A good GM

884
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: doesn't care about the media hype, so we we gotta

885
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: be very careful. I see what you're saying. Like my

886
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: topic earlier, I'm just not buying into it. I'll buy

887
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: into it if it happens, and then we'll we'll be angry.

888
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: I am a lifelong Jags fan, born and race here

889
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I like Jacksonville. My question is, do you

890
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: think there's a long term stability for the franchise staying

891
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. We have a rapidly growing city, beaches, no

892
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: state income tax, and the ability to play golf all

893
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: year long. That that sounds amazing. Fuck, I shouldn't move

894
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. No taxes and golf and sunny weather and beaches.

895
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: Holy moly. Obviously the city is not Miami or Tampa.

896
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: But I could see this becoming a destination franchise, especially

897
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: after Trevor and Urban turn this thing around. I believe

898
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: there is a big enough community support if we can

899
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: get consistent winner. The London talk is like a dark

900
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: cloud hanging over the city. Listen. I thought that, uh,

901
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: maybe I've heard someone say this on a podcast that

902
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is the smallest NFL market as of right now.

903
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: Like you said, I mean, cities grow, right, I mean

904
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: nothing stays the same now. No one's gonna pass like

905
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: New York or Chicago or Houston. But could Jacksonville dramatically

906
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: grow over the next twenty years? Yeah, like these markets

907
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: are gonna grow. Phoenix was twenty years ago. Wasn't that

908
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: big of a market? Well? Should I want to move there?

909
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: You need to get a little more money so I

910
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: can buy what I want to buy. But why do

911
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: I want to move there? Well, it's more business friendly.

912
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: Why do people move to Texas? In Dallas? Though? Well?

913
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: Why is Houston grow so much? Well, no state income tax,

914
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: it drives people there. Nashville, I bet it's grown dramatically

915
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: over the last years. When I went there two years ago,

916
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: my taxi cab driver told me it was the fastest

917
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: growing city in America. More people moved there every day

918
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: than any other city in America. So, like I can

919
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: speak to California, l A and San Francisco are massive.

920
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: We don't have much room for growth anymore. And no

921
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: one in their right mind would come here if you

922
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: don't have to. If you can go somewhere as to expense,

923
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: if you're not from here, it's too expensive, it doesn't pencil.

924
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't I go to some of these other places?

925
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think things could dramatically change.

926
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: I mean I just saw some of the tax laws

927
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: in New York. If you make a lot of money, Like,

928
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: why would you live in New York? You don't even

929
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: become the majority stakeholder in your own life. So yeah,

930
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past them though. Right now, if

931
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is the smallest market and they can't like get

932
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: a new stadium built, I think it's gonna be on

933
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: the table winning changes everything for sure and I and

934
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: also just people and habits change. I would love to

935
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: share your work with our audience in Australia. From Joel,

936
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, cheer away. I've never been to Australia,

937
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: but I think I would really like it there. Went

938
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: to New Zealand when I was a kid with my dad.

939
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,760
