1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully you are doing great and enjoying this fugazy Friday,

3
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: because that is what we are about to attack. And

4
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: luckily there's a couple of things going on football wise.

5
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna break down every stephen a

6
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Lebron James angle right here right now. That will not

7
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: be the case. But there is some pro day information

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: that came out. We gotta Abdual Carter, who may consider

9
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: the best player in the draft or one of them.

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: With Travis got some injuries going on right now, has

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: a shoulder was not able to participate in the in

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: his pro day though? Is that covering up for the

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: stress fact sure that they found in his right foot.

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: So for great of a talent as he is, we

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: do we will dive into that. Ashing Genty had his

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: Pro day the star Boise State running back but he

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: did not run. Is that a big deal? Something Lebron

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: James did say. And this is like a theme in

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the NBA. They love just kind of taking shots at

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the older guys like the Sky's in the seventies, in

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the eighties, they couldn't cut it today. And if we

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: played back then we'd score seven hundred points a game.

23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Why does that happen in the NFL, because it doesn't,

24
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: and I want to dive into why. I actually think

25
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: that the NFL is the opposite and their players go

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: out of their way, which I think benefits the sport

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: of kind of tying in the different generations. And then

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: a Fugazi that I saw a week ago. I've been

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: thinking about this for a long time. It's always driven

30
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: me nuts. Something in a movie Den of Thieves two

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: kind of entertaining. Not gonna lie, but something that happened

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: in that movie, which happens in a lot of action

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: movies that I've just always I've always noticed and it

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: always kind of bothered me. But it is what it is.

35
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: We will dive into that food, Gayzy and Little Middlecoff

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: mailbag at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff is the Instagram.

43
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: to some football. You know, I got to tell you

44
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: about my friends, my partners, and the official ticketing app

45
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: of this podcast, and you know they go by game

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Time and listen. I've been using ticketing apps for a

47
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: long long time, and I swear by these guys. And

48
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not just saying this, I've lived it.

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: I've gone to more events because of Game Time over

50
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: the last several years than I have probably in the

51
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: previous five years. It's easy to use. I can find

52
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: any event, obviously, sports, comedy shows, concerts, Get out, do

53
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: something fun, enjoy yourself. Trust me, sometimes I can be

54
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: pretty boring and I can just work and stay home

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: and live in a little bubble of my house. Once

56
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: you get out and just enjoy yourself for a night,

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: it makes you feel better and you will not regret it. So,

58
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: whether that's a college game, a pro game, a concert,

00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: a comedy show, I'm telling you take the guest work

Speaker 1: minute tickets, lowest prices guaranteed. I had this clip sent

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: to me today from a buddy and it was number

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: eleven at Penn State in a spring prectice doing some

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: like stack in shed drills. And I immediately thought, why

69
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: is Abdual Carter taking part in spring practice with Penn State?

70
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: And then I had to click on it and I realized, no,

71
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: that's not Abdual Carter wearing eleven. That is LeVar Arrington's son,

72
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: who is a true freshman and looks exactly like Abduall Carter.

73
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: And Micah Parsons say whatever you want about James Franklin.

74
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: From a schematic standpoint, no one is going to confuse

75
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: the guy with Bill Walsh or Bill Belichick. But and

76
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: obviously LeVar went to school at Penn State. But that

77
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: guy can recruit some pass rushers because this kid, I'm

78
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna go after I get done recording this podcast, watch

79
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: some YouTube highlights. Looks like, I mean, just from a

80
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: body type standpoint, looks like a future top ten pick.

81
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: You put on eleven at that program. The future is

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: bright because Abduall Carter, you know, sometimes you know drafts

83
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: a different right, Well, you evaluate the draft based on

84
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: that current year, Like if you go three, it's based

85
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: on that current crop of guys. But in these draft meetings,

86
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: you're constantly comparing them to previous drafts, in previous guys

87
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: in those drafts who are now excelling or struggling in

88
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. It helps. It's like in real estate you

89
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: do comps. I'm sure in a lot of different industries.

90
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: People listening to me, you're constantly comparing deals to previous deals.

91
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: How much did we pay for this? This is what

92
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: we're willing to pay for that because it parallels these

93
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: previous three things we've done. It's no different in football

94
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: based on measurables, production, what style of play you have.

95
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: If there are four other guys that play exactly like

96
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: you that went in the second round, like you're probably

97
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: more inclined to take that guy in the second round

98
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: than draft him in the top ten. And Abdul Carter,

99
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: regardless of he was in the twenty twenty five draft

100
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: or in some of the best drafts of all time

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: as a prospect, he's a legitimate top ten guy in

102
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: certain drafts. You know, I would say a bad draft

103
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: like this one, he can go pick one, two or three.

104
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: In some great drafts, maybe he goes seven to ten.

105
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: But he's a legitimate high end prospect. His skill really translates,

106
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: and he does have a lot of parallels with Micah Parsons. Now,

107
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: I think the thing with Micah that was a little confusing,

108
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: the reason he didn't go in the top ten covid

109
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: year didn't play for the season. Don't blame him, but

110
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: it was just kind of a weird time. And usually

111
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: when guys like that just play going into their draft

112
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: year like they're gonna go really high. But we talk

113
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: about this all the time. You can scout a guy

114
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: as a player and there is no disputing if you

115
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: watch Penn State play, especially down the stretch in the playoffs,

116
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: you're like, this guy is a freak talent. I mean,

117
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: he's battling with the shoulder injury, so there's no disputing

118
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: his toughness, just his style of play. Like, he's really

119
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: really good. And I haven't heard anything negative from an

120
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: off the field character standpoint, So I'm just gonna assume

121
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: like he's viewed as a real high end, total package prospect.

122
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: But when things that are thrown in the mix, like

123
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: he still has a shoulder injury that he's nursing from

124
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: early January, he has a stress fracture in his right foot.

125
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Those are things, as the area scout, as the college director,

126
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: hell as the general manager, that are very very difficult

127
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: for you to give a concrete opinion on. You are

128
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: very very dependent on your medical team. So when Rosenhaus

129
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: tells Schefter he's not participating in his pro day and

130
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: everyone goes why, and Rosenhaus goes, well, because of his

131
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: shoulder still doesn't feel great from the Boise State game,

132
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: and you go, well, is that then it's your job

133
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: to find out is that the real reason or is

134
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: the story that came out at the combine with the

135
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: stress fracture in the right foot part of the reason

136
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: that he doesn't want to risk not looking good moving around.

137
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: And so as a scout and as a scouting staff,

138
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: all you can do is everything humanly possible to accumulate

139
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: as much information as you can about what's actually going on.

140
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: But when it comes to a diagnosis like I don't

141
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: know anything about shoulder injuries, I don't know anything about

142
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: stress fractures in right feet. It's why Jim Harbaugh got

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: in this back and forth with the local media this

144
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: year in training camp because they were peppering him over injuries.

145
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: And while he definitely doesn't want to divulge anything he's

146
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: being told, like, it was pretty easy for him to come, Guys,

147
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I don't know shit. I just

148
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: reiterate what I'm told, and there's a lot of truth

149
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: to that. And I think when you get in these situations,

150
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: it just sends huge alarms through the front office because

151
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: it's like, well, this guy's an awesome player, and if

152
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy, he's a no brainer guy in this

153
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: draft to take really really high. And if we were

154
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: the Titans, if we're the Browns, if we're the Giants,

155
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: if for the Patriots, like all those teams are very

156
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: very interested in this guy. But to get to the

157
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: bottom of, like what is the state of his health

158
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: and you're not listen. I have a lot of respect

159
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: for Drew Rosenhaus, but his job is plain, simple, period,

160
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: point blank end of story, to figure out a way

161
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: to make this stuff go away and make you think

162
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: that it's not a big issue and make this almost

163
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: feel like an afterthought. Because whether his foot is healthy,

164
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: whether it's going to be an issue this fall, that's

165
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: not his problem. His one prerogative and objective as the

166
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: guy's agent is to get this guy selected as high

167
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: as humanly possible, to make him as much money as possible.

168
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: And I think it puts these people in tough positions,

169
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: and now you just have to get to the bottom

170
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: of like what is going on. And we see a

171
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: lot of times I think I've given this example before,

172
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: but I remember when the Raiders would have been like

173
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, maybe they were basically deciding between Amari Cooper

174
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: and Leonard Williams, and they ultimately went with Amari Cooper

175
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: because they weren't sure about Leonard Williams's shoulder and there

176
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: were a lot of question marks whether he would need surgery.

177
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: And obviously we're a decade later. I mean currently today

178
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: you would rather have Leonard Williams on your team than

179
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: a Mary Cooper. But that scares front offices because they

180
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: don't have medical degrees. They know how to scout players,

181
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: and they know how to talk about football players and people,

182
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: but when it comes to the medical stuff, it's just

183
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: out of their hands. And this goes back to Nick

184
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Saban and I'm not acting like this guy is gonna

185
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: plummet or fall in the draft. But these are just

186
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: issues that I mean, in a perfect world, if you're Abdual,

187
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: Carter and Rosenhaus don't exist, but when they do, they

188
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: just set off alarms. The other thing that at least

189
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: set off on an alarm for me was Ashton Genty's

190
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: pro day was yesterday, so I immediately I see on

191
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: social media that he's working out shirtless and he looks

192
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: like a brick shit house. I mean, he looks fantastic.

193
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: And I text a buddy that I knew was there

194
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: and I said, well, what did he run? And he's like, well,

195
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: he didn't run. And I'm like, well he didn't run

196
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: at the combine either, and he's like, yeah, he's just

197
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: not going to run. Like what do you mean he's

198
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: not gonna run? And listen. I would say, Ashton Genty,

199
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: unlike Abduall Carter, because he's healthy, is like universally like

200
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: stamp of approval in scouting circles, extremely well liked. I

201
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: think you would be hard pressed. And people think I'm

202
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: being critical because they keep bringing up that he's five

203
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: to eight. I've never disputed that he's an awesome player. Like,

204
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you're not going to find people around the NFL that

205
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: don't think very very highly of this guy the person

206
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: and definitely the player. And he's like, well, he's not

207
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna run, so he's just not gonna run. He's like, yeah,

208
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: just not gonna run. And basically the way it was

209
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: described to me was it's not worth him running a

210
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: four or five to two and falling in the draft.

211
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: And for him falling in the draft, would all of

212
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: a sudden be going instead of seventh or ninth or

213
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: twelfth or tenth or wherever, you know, pretty high to

214
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe like late teens. And that's what can happen. Because

215
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: we talk about all the time, these measurables and these

216
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: check marks before the draft don't determine if you're gonna

217
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: go to the Hall of Fame once you get to

218
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, or become a four time pro bowler or

219
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: be a bust, but they do help determine your draft stock.

220
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: We have seen time and time again wide receivers who

221
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: are excellent players run a slow forty guys that were like,

222
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: this guy's a first round player and all of a

223
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: sudden go pick forty eight all of a sudden fall

224
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: to the third round. Two guys come to my mind.

225
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams did not run very fast, fell to the

226
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: middle of the second round, Keenan Allen ran really slow,

227
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: fell to the third round. So like, running times as

228
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: a skill guy, regardless of how great your tape is,

229
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: can really hurt you. So Ashton Genty is just not

230
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: gonna run. Now. When I watched Ashton Genty play, I

231
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: would say high end speed, Like I don't think he's

232
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. You know, Jamiir Gibbs was a guy a

233
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: couple of years ago who ran a four to three six.

234
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's doing that, but I do understand

235
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: if Like, yeah, I might on a good day run

236
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: a four four seven, but I also might run a

237
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: four or five two. And given that my measureables aren't

238
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: elite in terms of height, it could cost me millions

239
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: of dollars. And the one thing that I heard about

240
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: the workout is like, well, the workout was elite, so listen,

241
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: I get it, you make business decisions. But I saw

242
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: my guy. I don't say he's my guy. Fuck, he

243
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: won't text me back. But an old friend and colleague

244
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: of mine. Lewis Riddick called him a home run hitter,

245
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: and I think home when I think home run hitters,

246
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: I think guys that would never shy away from the forty.

247
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: You know, I think one of Lamar Jackson's poor decisions

248
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: before the draft. Now, it ultimately worked out because he

249
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: went to a great team, but everyone knew Lamark was

250
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna fly. And if he would have ran the forty,

251
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: like what would we guess? Lamar Jackson as a twenty

252
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: one year old coming out of college would have ran

253
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: the forty four three eight four four zero like it

254
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: would have been really really fast, and he refused to

255
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: do it. Now, I think the reason he did was

256
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: because Bill Pollion said he was a wide receiver, and

257
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: it was like a double middle finger of like, I'm

258
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: not showing everyone out fast I am. They're gonna move

259
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: me to wide receiver, even though that was never gonna happen.

260
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: But fast guys usually run wide because they're fast, and

261
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this guy slow, but it would give

262
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: me a little pause. Now, part of having a great

263
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL you don't need like aikuon.

264
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: Barkley's pretty special. He has elite high end speed. Adrian

265
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: Peterson outlier had elite high end speed. You can be

266
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: a great running back, I mean, a high end Pro

267
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Bowl guy just stud on my team for multiple contracts

268
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: and not be that fast. I don't think Frank Gore

269
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: had ACLS. I don't think Frank Gore would have broke

270
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: for seven in the forty. It didn't matter. He was

271
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: an awesome player. I'm not depending on you to run

272
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: fifty yards consistently in the NFL. If you're getting ten

273
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: to fifteen twenty yard runs, that's great. So like I'm

274
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: not saying it bothered me, but it definitely was something

275
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: that kind of stood out, not running the forty and listen,

276
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: John Spytech, I was told was there and that was

277
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: always you know, Lombardi used to talk about this back

278
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: in his podcast days before he got with Belichick at UNC.

279
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Is like Al Davis not in a million years would

280
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: have taken a guy that didn't run a forty. I mean,

281
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing with the Raiders was speed. So it'll

282
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: be interesting if it just people are just completely unfazed.

283
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: And he definitely benefits from the draft class. But you

284
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: gotta have dual Carter with shoulder and foot, and you

285
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: have Ashton Genty not running the forties. So these are

286
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: just things that like in these draft meetings. This is

287
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:27,840

311
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of people talking about others Lebron James on McAfee.

312
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: I do think the reaction from steven A for fifteen minutes,

313
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: some of the clips are just just make me laugh.

314
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the ultimate NBA story of like

315
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: nobody talking about any of the games. It's just Lebron

316
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: James and steven A Smith going back and forth. It's

317
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: just classic twenty twenty five National Basketball Association. But one

318
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: thing that has really bothered me over the years because

319
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: I just think it's so disrespectful for people like I

320
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: don't care what industry you're in, but if things are

321
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: going really well, you usually owe people of previous generations

322
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: in whatever business you're in, for really starting to get

323
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: the ball rolling, for building something up and getting the

324
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: momentum on your side. And usually there's a time in

325
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: period in most things that we do when people were

326
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: doing things for not nearly as much money as you're

327
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: making now. And nothing speaks to that more than for example,

328
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: the NBA, which the average salary is twelve million dollars,

329
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: and I don't even know the amount of people, but

330
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty large relative to their workforce that are making

331
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: thirty plus million dollars. Obviously, there are a lot of

332
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: elite players, and rightfully so, making forty to fifty there

333
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: are also a lot of guys completely running a scam

334
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: making forty to fifty million dollars right now that if

335
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: they disappear tomorrow from the NBA, not a soul would notice.

336
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: So whenever they're taking shots at guys from the sixties,

337
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: the seventies, the eighties, I think, you know, one most

338
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: of us were not alive in the seventies that are

339
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: speaking about this. Definitely all the players to make these

340
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: concrete opinions that those guys just suck. But I also

341
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: just think it's a bad look. It just looks I

342
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: just think it's kind of unbecoming, And then I think

343
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: about the NFL, which is the complete opposite that. You

344
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: would never. You couldn't imagine Cam Hayward's saying there's no

345
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: way me and Joe Green could play next to me

346
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: right now, or Josh Allen saying, yeah, I'm way better

347
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: than Jim Kelly, or Fred Warner is like, yeah, Ronnie

348
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: Lott wouldn't have been good enough to play behind me.

349
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: We need better at that. If anything, they would say

350
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: the opposite, It would be an honor to play with

351
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott. Strap him up and be on the same

352
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: field with Ronnie Lott playing behind me, cracking skulls. I

353
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: would loved to line up next to me and Joe Green.

354
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: I would give anything to have the career of Jim Kelly.

355
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: You would never. You couldn't even imagine ro Kwan Smith

356
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: saying yeah, I would. Walter Peyton he couldn't. He wouldn't

357
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: last on the field with my defense for ten fucking snaps.

358
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: You never hear those words. If anything, is the complete

359
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: opposite the respect they show, you know why, because they

360
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: know there's a toughness element to the seventies eighties. When

361
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: people my age never watched any of it, but we

362
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: just know it's like you had to be a bad

363
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: you know what to play in that era, you had

364
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: to be a tough SOB. And the amount of money

365
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: they were making relative to what the guys make now,

366
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: yet the amount of emphasis on safety and health was

367
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: the ratio. You know, the care for safety and health

368
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: was basically zero. No one cared about any of it,

369
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: and relative to the money now, they were probably doing

370
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: better than most of society. But you know a lot

371
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 1: of those guys, like the seventies had second jobs. So

372
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: I just think whenever you can give respect to people

373
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: in previous generations for helping you out to where you

374
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: are today, it's just like kind of common courtesy and

375
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: it just shows that like you're kind of in touch

376
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: with reality. Colin Moore Cowa made some comments a couple

377
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: of weeks ago at the Arnold Palmer where he doesn't

378
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: need to talk after he loses a golf tournament. It's like, Bro,

379
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: you sound very out of touch right now. And I

380
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: think the NBA has a huge, huge perception problem and

381
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: they've lost people like me who idolize, not idolized, still idolized.

382
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Honestly, he stands for everything I like now, gambling, golfing, boozing,

383
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: talking shit. Like I like Michael Jordan's sixty five as

384
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: much as I liked him when I was ten and

385
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: he was thirty. But I just think when you look

386
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: at previous generations, it's like, what's the point in kicking

387
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: these guys and acting like they were a bunch of scrubs.

388
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: Without them, this business would not have existed, and what

389
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: they had to go through, like especially like in the

390
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: NBA when you see some pictures of the shoes they

391
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: wore in like nineteen seventy four. The other thing is

392
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: comparing apples to apples is completely impossible. Be like, well

393
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: they didn't have the athletes or the gills. Well, yeah, guys,

394
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: they were like Kenny the Snake Stable were smoking cigarettes

395
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: at halftime. They were drinking Coca Cola's when they were

396
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: going to the sideline. People didn't eat hell. It wasn't

397
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: that long when I was a kid, we didn't discuss

398
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: caloric intake and sugars like we have the last decade.

399
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: It's not apples the apples the way we live. But

400
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: to constantly just act like these guys are a bunch

401
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: of losers. I'm glad the NFL does not do that

402
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: because I do think it would turn off a lot

403
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: of people. And honestly, it's the opposite. It feels like

404
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: they give reverence respect and they just hold those guys

405
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: into high regard because they look at them like, yeah, man,

406
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a tough sob And I think the

407
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: NFL that that perception with the NBA, I think is

408
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: a sneaky, huge turnoff. And for the NFL, I think

409
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: it's a cool connection that watching those guys really feel

410
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: like that they embraced those guys and listen, the other

411
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: thing is we all know you couldn't even say that

412
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: with a straight face. I mean, what do we criticize

413
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: currently about the NFL? And that's kind of soft not

414
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: allowed to hit anyone. And again that's not an opinion,

415
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: like that's not subjective, it is a fact. I mean

416
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: we literally call wide receivers going over the middle defenseless.

417
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago where they were called I'm

418
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: decapitated and I'm going to the hospital. I say it

419
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: all the time when some of these flags happen on defenders.

420
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: It's like when I grew up that was considered a hospitaball.

421
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: Now it's like fifteen yard penalty automatic first down. So yeah, man,

422
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: I just I love the toughness in any sport. Of

423
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: hearing guys talk from the seventies and eighties that they

424
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: were such, it just felt a little more pure, less

425
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: money on the line, less you know, hooplah. With social media,

426
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: it was just like I am trying to beat the

427
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: shit out of whoever I'm playing, and I think that

428
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: will always resonate in any era with fans. Okay, let's

429
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: end on this fugezy Friday. I'm a big action movie guy.

430
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: I've been my whole life. Started watching rated R movies

431
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: probably before I should have, but I've always gravitated just toward,

432
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, just a good shoot them up movie. And

433
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: I would say of my adult life it's always driven

434
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: me crazy that in these crazy shootouts. And listen, anyone

435
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: who's ever shot a gun. If you just handed me

436
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: a glock right now and gave me a stationary target

437
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: relatively far away and with no practice, I probably wouldn't

438
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: hit it. Most people with no training. I haven't been

439
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: skeet shooting in a long time. I probably wouldn't have

440
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: great aim, so I'm not acting like shooting a gun

441
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: is easy. Yet in so many of these movies. When

442
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: and I was just watching, what made me think about

443
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: this was denif Too, with Gerard Butler, Ice Cubes kid

444
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Osha Jackson, who's actually really I think he's a really

445
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: good actor. That's pretty cool for ice Cube. His kids

446
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: just just solid make some solid movies. Denfes is good.

447
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: It's right up my alley and there was this shootout

448
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: scene no spoiler alerts, but here it comes where they're

449
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: going up these hills and like I think in Italy

450
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: and there, you know, it's like classic two Mercedes chasing

451
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: one Mercedes, and they're going ninety miles an hour up

452
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: these windy roads. For whatever reason, there is not a

453
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: soul on the road, so you're swerving all over the road.

454
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: But there are long stretches of kind of straightaways where

455
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: the bad guys, I guess they're all kind of bad guys. Well,

456
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: one guy is technically a cop, but they're all shooting

457
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: at each other and they all got like assault rifles.

458
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: And the thing is in a lot of these movies,

459
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: they're all actors obviously, but the people they're pretending to be,

460
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: whether you are security guards or whether you're the bad guys.

461
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: It's like you're you're like former marines, right, Like you

462
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: are a trained guy with a weapon in your hands,

463
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: so you know what you're doing. And they shoot up,

464
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: especially in car scenes when they're shooting at each other,

465
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: and cars aren't that big, so like unless you're in

466
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: I don't even know what some old school hummer, the

467
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: actual circumference or size of the car is relatively small, right,

468
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how far it would be, seven feet across,

469
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: ten feet across, it's not that huge. And these bullets

470
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: are just peppering the car, of taking out ice cubes,

471
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: Kid and Butler and just wearing out the glass, taking

472
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: through the seats, and somehow no one ever gets hit.

473
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: I used to think about this in John Wick. I

474
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: love John Wick, but some of those shootouts where he

475
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: is going up against not just randos. It's not like

476
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: I just walk in to a place like a hundred guys,

477
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: hand them all nine mili meters and just say start shooting.

478
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: Of course, some of those guys are not going to

479
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: be very accurate. But the guys that were always trying

480
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: to take out john Wick look like trained killers. Yet

481
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: ETN rarely ever got hit. And in this shooting scene,

482
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: it was like, this is very unrealistic. If you just

483
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: give these guys assault rifles and they are trailing the

484
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: car by I don't know, give or take sometimes you know,

485
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: twenty yards and they are just wearing out the car,

486
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: the likelihood that a bullet wouldn't go through these people

487
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: as they are just going through the seats, going through

488
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: the windows, would not hit these guys feel like a

489
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: statistical anomaly. It feels like it would be impossible. And

490
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,959
Speaker 1: I get it's a movie. I get it's completely made up.

491
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: I get these people are just acting, pretending to be

492
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: these people, but in these scenes, in the shootout scenes,

493
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: I just think it's completely unrealistic. Always all these people. Now,

494
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: I get it. You can't just have everyone get shot,

495
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 1: everyone died, the movie would end. I'm not advocating for that.

496
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: But as these scenes over the course of my life

497
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: have they they've just upped and uped them, right. I mean,

498
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: at first there was a couple shots here and there,

499
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: and you'd like be hiding to now where it's at.

500
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: It it's just I mean, unloading clip after clip after clip,

501
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: and it's if anything, it's like some sometimes a guy

502
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: takes like a takes a bullet to the shoulder, but

503
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: it's never like, yeah, right between his eyes, you know,

504
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: six to the neck, three to the pelvis, one to

505
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: the nose, and one to the throat. He's done. That

506
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: just never happens. And I just think I'm not looking

507
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: for them to fix this problem, because again, most movies

508
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: would just end if the main character got taken out.

509
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: I just think it's probably one of the most unrealistic

510
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: things in the history of Hollywood are the shootout scenes

511
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: and how rare it is for anyone of consequence being

512
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: shot at to be taken out. I think if we

513
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: acted all those in real life. I mean, hell, we

514
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: see some of these in real life. People usually get

515
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: hit and somehow no one that really ever gets faced

516
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: in most of these. Okay, let's do a little middle

517
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: cough mail bag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire

518
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: in those dms. I'm not gonna make a habit of this.

519
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: And this might be the first and last email I

520
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: ever read. But right before I was gonna record, I

521
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: looked at my emails and I saw this, and it

522
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: was just so passionate. It's essentially, you know, a middle

523
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: cooff mail bag question. Some of you guys that don't

524
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: have a social I respect it. So Pete Peterson. At

525
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: first I thought it was pat Patrick Peterson. I was like, damn,

526
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: he's about to crush the Cardinals. But it's it's not.

527
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: It's Pete. John Love the Pod rarely miss an episode.

528
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: I too, live here in Scottsdale. Let me be direct.

529
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: Why is the media and public so accepting of the

530
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: dumpster fire called the Arizona Cardinals. Here are the facts.

531
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: They are the all time worst winning percentage in the

532
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: National Football League. Even more glaring is the fact, even

533
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: though they are a founding member of the league, they

534
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: have won a grand total of seven playoff games in

535
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: the entire history of the franchise, second only to the

536
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: Texans that have six, who came into the league in

537
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Seven frickin' wins in a century.

538
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Not great. That's less than one playoff win a decade,

539
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: and all controlled by three generations of the Bidwells. They

540
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: just were ranked by NFLPA as the worst franchise in

541
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: the league. Bidwell has lawsuits against them from numerous former

542
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: employees for hostile work environments and litigation against him for

543
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: multiple states. Is he really any better than Dan Snyder,

544
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: who the media rightfully went after. This is arguably the

545
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: worst professional sports franchise in history, but rarely does the

546
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: media dive into this tragic situation. Well, I think this

547
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: is interesting and this is where I do think we

548
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: all can be a little biased. If this was happening

549
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: to it happened to Washington, right, and it was a

550
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: really big deal. Why They're a massive market with a

551
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: lot of history where I grew up. If this was

552
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: taking place with the forty nine ers, people would be

553
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: fucking livid. It just it would be a problem. I mean,

554
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: look at the Giants who have had probably one of

555
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: the worst definitely their worst ten year run of my life,

556
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: and it's really really ugly, and they get crucified. I've

557
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: only lived here now for what three plus years, but

558
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: because of my location, like you know, growing up in life,

559
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: I follow I would say the Arizona teams relatively closely

560
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: as a Pac ten fan, the colleges. Obviously, the Diamondbacks

561
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: play in the Giants division with the Dodgers. You know,

562
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: the Suns have been you know, West Coast NBA team,

563
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: So I've just I've followed them. I think a lot

564
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: of people here, let's just use this just market in general. One,

565
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: not a lot of people that do what I do

566
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: talk about sports for living live in this area. Two,

567
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: the fan base is much smaller than a lot of

568
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: the places that would get crucified like this wouldn't be

569
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: tolerated with the Packers, or the Steelers, or the Niners,

570
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: or the Giants, or the Eagles, the I mean even

571
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right they get crushed. They make the playoffs

572
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: a lot. Hell they sometimes they win a playoff game,

573
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: they just never make it to the third round. So

574
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: I think it has to do with the location of

575
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: so many people that live in this area are transplants.

576
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: And I think the fan base relative to a lot

577
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: of NFL teams is much smaller, and I just don't

578
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: think they're that important to the landscape of the league.

579
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, like the Bears, who last year had a

580
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: awful season and it was a problem and it was

581
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: a huge story. I think the Cardinals, in a weird way,

582
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: are kind of viewed like like pre Balmber Clippers. It's

583
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: like whatever, And like you said, one thing, bid Well

584
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: I think he benefits a lot from being in this market.

585
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: Out of side, out of mind. I have some people

586
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: in my life that own a very very lucrative business,

587
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: family business, and over the course of the last twenty years,

588
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people in those industries have been forced

589
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: to sell that business. Have been kind of strong arm.

590
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: Now it's not like they got screw they got paid

591
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but they were forced to sell.

592
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: And these were major markets in America. Right where this

593
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: lucrative businesses is in an area where if I pulled

594
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: every single human listening to this podcast right now and

595
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: said would you move there, all of your answers would

596
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: be immediate No. You'd be like, you wouldn't even care

597
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: how much I was offering you. You would just say no.

598
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: And they've always said that they've really benefited from the

599
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: location of where their business is. People don't want to

600
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: mess with it, so they just kind of get left alone.

601
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: And in areas like Los Angeles, in areas like San

602
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: Francisco or you know, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, you

603
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: don't really get to hide, and here you kind of

604
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: get to hide. I mean, one of the things that

605
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: I liked about moving here is there's still an element

606
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: of the wild wild West. It's like there aren't as

607
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: many rules, aren't as many regulations, just fucking whatever. And

608
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: I missed that. I mean, that's the California my dad

609
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: grew up on or In, which is long on now

610
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: that there's an element of that here. But I think,

611
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, this area, while it's fast growing, I do

612
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: think it's really out of side, out of mind. It

613
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: really is. And I would say the same thing a

614
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, the Raiders benefit from that, you know,

615
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: in Oakland and now Vegas, but they still get much

616
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: more crucified because historically they have been a much more

617
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: successful franchise and they have way more fans. So it's

618
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: it's somewhat is a numbers game. And I think part

619
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: of the reason is, like I'd go out of business

620
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: if I talked about the Cardinals every day. Not enough

621
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: people care. Honestly, I don't care that much, so I think, like,

622
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: why don't I talk about it? Because I don't even

623
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: find it that interesting. I really don't, you know, because

624
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: part of it is bid well, unlike Snyder, it feels

625
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: like flies a little more into the radar. But like

626
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: you said, he's getting sued constantly. He's always has issues

627
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: that they're you know, Mike Brown gets shit on constantly

628
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: for being really cheap. I think no one would argue

629
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: the cheapest guy in league history is this family and

630
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: might not even be close, might not even be close.

631
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I here's the thing. When you

632
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: say the Arizona Cardinals, It's funny. When I moved here.

633
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, some people don't quite understand what I do.

634
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: They're like, are you gonna cover the Arizona teams? I'm like, no,

635
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I couldn't even pretend to care. They just

636
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: they do nothing for me emotionally, which kind of sucks.

637
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, Like, I'm not a big baseball fan

638
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: like I used to be, but I still like background television,

639
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 1: like when I lived in the Bay Area. Now again,

640
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: I like the Giants, but even when they suck, you

641
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: just throw them on in the background if you're doing

642
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: other stuff, especially like day games during the season. If

643
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: I have the Diamondbacks game on for like five minutes,

644
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: I just see it on my TV and like, I

645
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: gotta change it. It's just, yeah, something something about it.

646
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: The Suns do nothing to me, So yeah, I mean,

647
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Beside, I just

648
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: think it's the team, simply put, no one gives a shit,

649
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: where a lot more people cared about Washington. So I

650
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: feel for you as a Cardinal fan being under the

651
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Bidwells watch sucks. This for the back. I was thinking

652
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: for the Patriots they would draft Travis Hunter, but now

653
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: that the Giants have signed Russell Wilson and Jamis, they

654
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: probably won't draft Sanders anymore and could throw and could

655
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: now take Hunter off the board. What do you think

656
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots will do in the draft. Is the Arizona

657
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver McMillan worth the fourth overall pick? I would

658
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: say this, it sucks for the Patriots if Carter, assuming

659
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: he's healthy, is off the board and Travis Hunters off

660
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: the board. If the Giants pass on your door, Sanders,

661
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: that sucks because it's clear there are two guys that

662
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: are just way better, and then there's the next McMillan.

663
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: I could not take it four overall. I wouldn't take

664
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: him in the top ten, but that's just me. I mean,

665
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: there are some people that like him more than others.

666
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you watched the right game against New Mexico.

667
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: He had seven hundred yards. But I just that there's

668
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: one guy that's been drafted in the top ten with

669
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: his speed low four to fives that has gone on

670
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: to be a high end player, and that's Mike Evans.

671
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: And I don't quite see Mike Evans a good player.

672
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: But to me, like, if I'm drafting a wide receiver

673
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: at four overall, he's got to be Jamar Chase, Malik Nabors,

674
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and I don't know if this guy's that

675
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: might be, but I to me, he's more like a

676
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: guy you take in the teams. I don't know what

677
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: they do. I think they would be in a tough spot.

678
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: I think then you just take, Like who do you

679
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: feel is the best player? Is that Mason Graham? Is

680
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: that you know, one of the offensive linemen? I just

681
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: think you take end up taking one of those guys.

682
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, but I could

683
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: not take McMillan over the lineman. I would still take

684
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: either a defensive or offensive lineman right there. Obviously, the

685
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: discuss with Will Campbell and the arms, like, I'm sorry,

686
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: it is a big issue. Now let's just say hypothetically,

687
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: Will Campbell because the pushback is what he's played years

688
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: at the SEC and that's true, but you know, if

689
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: it does become an issue, I do think he could

690
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: slide to guard immediately be an awesome player. But how

691
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: often you know, let's just say he became a Pro

692
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: Bowl guard, you know, do you want to take that

693
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: at four overall? And who knows? Maybe he just is

694
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: a tackle for a long time and is a solid player.

695
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: But you know, the Missouri guy worked out really good.

696
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: People are really high on him. This is the trouble

697
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: with the draft. This is why people have been saying

698
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: two months ago, that's like, you know, like the Niners

699
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys at eleven or twelve, they're gonna get

700
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: like the same pick of a player as the team's

701
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: like the assuming Hunter and Abdul Carter are gone as

702
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: like the Patriots and the Jags at four and five,

703
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: which is not normal. Usually, like the top six or

704
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: seven guys in a good draft are pretty you feel

705
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: pretty confident, like these guys gonna be badasses, and then

706
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: you just it's more of a coin flip once you

707
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: get past like ten. Not saying there aren't sweet players,

708
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: but you just you never know. And that's I think

709
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: in this draft, it's not quite viewed like that, like

710
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: a team draft in seventeenth to make get a way

711
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: better player than the team draft in seventh. I saw

712
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: Ryan Clark saying on ESPN the Niner should trade McCaffrey

713
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: before the draft. I don't agree. What are your thoughts? No?

714
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what's one his value like they're trying to

715
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: trade Ayuk. It's like, guys, no one's offering you anything

716
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: of value for a guy making a bunch of money

717
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: with a torn knee, so his value to trade him?

718
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 1: He's more valuable to you McCaffrey right now. I think

719
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: you just keep your fingers crossed that he bounces back

720
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: and he's still got some good football in him and

721
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy for a couple more years. But

722
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: who in their right mind today would trade anything of

723
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: value for Christian McCaffrey making nineteen million dollars in a

724
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: draft loaded with starting running backs. The answer is nobody.

725
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: So it's like he is, he is more valuable to

726
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: the Niners today than he is to another team. Plus,

727
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: like the Niners do have to play games next year,

728
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: they can't just like, well, why not just trade Kittle

729
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: and Fred Warner two. Hey, Trent, Well, the Chiefs are calling.

730
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: You want to go play for the Chiefs? It's like, fuck,

731
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: why do you even dress out a football team? I

732
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: saw that I didn't spend much time. He wasn't alone,

733
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: and saw other people say like, why don't they just

734
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: get rid of McCaffrey. Like, guys, what are you talking about? Yeah,

735
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: if someone offers you you get the twelfth pick, can

736
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: you trade him the cowboy to the twelve pick? Okay,

737
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: I'll do that. Could you get like two? Two's? Yeah?

738
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: I think long and hard about it. No one's offering

739
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: you any of this. It's like, yeah, hey, so and

740
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: so team offered you a conditional fifth. It's like, yeah,

741
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: I'll just keep McCaffrey. You gotta pay somebody question for

742
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: the pod, although not strictly a football one. Reflecting on

743
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: your comments about mental toughness, I asked myself, what are

744
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: the three mentally toughest sports events at the highest level?

745
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: In other words, events where everyone is super skilled and

746
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: the differentiator is the ability to hold it together mentally.

747
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: My answers, The Ryder Cup speaks for itself. I like

748
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: that one. The World Snooker Championship absolutely compelling, every may

749
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: strongly recommend. I have no clue what that is. Test

750
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: match cricket where you have to stay on top six

751
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: hours a day for five days and one hundred degree heat,

752
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: that'd be hard. Yeah, I would say anything like some

753
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: sort of iron man I did a rod stuff like

754
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: that where you get to a point where, I mean,

755
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: all those guys training at a really high level, but the

756
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: high end guy is mentally like his body's breaking down.

757
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: It's not a sport. But you know, I would say

758
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: accomplishing like hell week in the Navy seals, things like that.

759
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: I mean those type things relative to you know, like

760
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: I don't even know pro sports, basketball, baseball, and football,

761
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: Like you have to have a lot of mental toughness,

762
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: but like at any moment, you can tap out like that.

763
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: That's what this gets back to football, And like you

764
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: hear stories from guys in the sixties, the seventies, the eighties,

765
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: the nineties, hell even in the two thousands. Yeah, we

766
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: have three and a half weeks of double days in

767
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: the pros. It's like, do you know how hard that is?

768
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: Full pads, tackling to the ground for weeks on end.

769
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: There is no and there's no tapping out so I

770
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: would say that, you know, the Ryder Cup mentally for sure,

771
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: physically not that taxing, taxing, especially the time of year

772
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: they play, it's usually not that hot wherever they are.

773
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: I would definitely choose some sort of triathlon, the idea

774
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: to Rod, some sort of climbing event, the some sailing championship,

775
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: probably not easy, anything like that. We're like, you could

776
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: legitimately die, anything where it's not like, yeah, I get

777
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: hurt right or no, I could die. Like if this

778
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: goes wrong, tell my family. I love him, and I

779
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: should probably call my accountant to get my affairs in order.

780
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: That's a real conversation you have before an event. Then yeah,

781
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: I take it pretty seriously. Huge Charger fan, I'm an

782
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: even bigger Herbert fan, but lately I can't skate the

783
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: feeling that he might never be able to get over

784
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: the hump. He reminds me a lot of Rivers, always talented,

785
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: always putting up big numbers, but never quite able to

786
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: finish the job. I know Herbert's ceiling is higher than Rivers,

787
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: and harbaugh arrival gives me hope, but considering the hype

788
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: after his rookie year and now underwhelming the season, since

789
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: we have been underwhelming this seasons, since we have been

790
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: sometimes sorry, it's like I'm like, am I reading this wrong?

791
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: Or grammar's not per always like listen, I'm by no

792
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 1: means some Rhodes scholar here. I'm starting to seriously wonder

793
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: will he ever take the next step? I think people

794
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: forget and I'm not comparing Justin Herbert to Peyton Manning,

795
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: but most people are not Tom Brady, and most people

796
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: are not Patrick Mahomes where they win immediately, like comparing

797
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers to Justin Herbert. Philip Rivers, I don't even

798
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: think he take him a couple of years to start right,

799
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: because he got drafted in Breeze was there. Justin Herbert

800
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: is just turn twenty seven years old. So even if

801
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: we are conservative, he has like, I don't know, thirty five.

802
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Stafford still plays at a high level

803
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: at thirty six, thirty seven, let's just be conservative, thirty

804
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: five he has eight more years of playing really well.

805
00:46:55,560 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: And what's Jim sixty one years old? I think guys

806
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: are gonna be okay, I really do, and I get it.

807
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, the playoff game was bad. I mean it's

808
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: one of the worst games he's probably ever played. But

809
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we're overreacting sometime. And I

810
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: would say the same thing about Lamar Jackson and Josh

811
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: Allen's like they could never do it. Yeah, there'll be

812
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: a year. I mean, Tom Brady wants towards ACL in

813
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 1: a season and it was just not around. So guess

814
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: what the AFC was open that year. I mean, Patrick

815
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes could just even just get hurt. Even if he

816
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt, Like, there's a year He's not gonna

817
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: win the AFC every single year. One of these years

818
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna lose it. One year he did, Joe Burrow

819
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: was in the Super Bowl. I promise you it's gonna

820
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: happen again. Why don't the Browns signed to Sean to

821
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: a massive contract extension and spread out the contract. This

822
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: happens in baseball, but we rarely see the NFL giving

823
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: to Sean another twenty million dollars guaranteed and stretching the

824
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: track over eight to ten years would basically be make

825
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: his number irrelevant? Am I missing something? I think they're

826
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: in a business situation where they don't want to do

827
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: anything to elongate the relationship. So they're already in for

828
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: the money. They're in for. They want out. That is

829
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: the goal right now, to get out. So their only

830
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: goal is to end this conversation, right So even giving

831
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: him an extra twenty million dollars just continues one in

832
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: what world would you pay him another penny? I mean,

833
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: he's one of the worst signing slash trades in the

834
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 1: history of sports. It's been that bad. So you wouldn't

835
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: give him any more money. And you don't want to

836
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: stretch this out eight ten years. You want to eat

837
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: it the next couple of years and move on. I

838
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. I don't think you're it's crazy,

839
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: but I just think if you were in their shoes,

840
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: you want this divorce to happen as soon as humanly possible.

841
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,479
Speaker 1: And at this point in time, there is a little

842
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel, though it's a

843
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: couple of years away. Yeah, I would just play this

844
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: bad boy out. A question for the pod. Getting married

845
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: next year, So got a bachelor party that'll be late

846
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: this year early next year. Thoughts on Scottsdale, Vegas or

847
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: Nashville as the best place for a bachelor party. Love

848
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: golf gambling and boozing. I would probably rank them either Scottsdale,

849
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: Vegas or Vegas. Scottsdale have Nashville last. The one thing

850
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: you would have with Vegas in Scottsdale is the golf

851
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: and gambling aspects pretty solid. Obviously, Vegas is the best

852
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: they got all the casinos. Scottsdale has added the Draft

853
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: Kids casinos. No free shot outs though DraftKings is a sponsor.

854
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: And I love that place right next to TPC, So

855
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: you can play golf and then just go right there,

856
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: or you can play other places and go and if

857
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: you're going in the fall, there's gonna be football games

858
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: on on the weekend, so I would put one of

859
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: those two. Now, I'm not a club guy. I'm a

860
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: bar guy. I've I've been to. You can count on

861
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: how many clubs I've been, not counting strip on two

862
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: hands in my forty years of existence. In my you know,

863
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: forty twenty two years, I had a fake id for

864
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: a couple of years of going pretty hard, though I

865
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: don't go hard anymore. But I'm just saying like, I

866
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: don't do clubs. So if you want clubs, you could

867
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: throw any of them in the thing with Nashville. If

868
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: you're going for a bachelor party, you're basically just staying

869
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 1: on the strip. It's a little like Vegas. Now there's

870
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: in terms of party the strip on Vegas, I mean

871
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: you can entertain yourself for days. In Nashville, the Broadway

872
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: Strip is really just you're just drinking at bars, which

873
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: is nothing wrong with that. Where I would say Scottsdale

874
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: has your widest variety of unlimited golf courses. I would

875
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: say unlimited bars. Like if you want clubs, they got clubs.

876
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: If you want just fun bars, they got bars, and

877
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: they got the they got the sports gambling. Now they

878
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: don't have a Actually they do have casino. What's it

879
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: called talking stick which has cards and stuff. Hell, you

880
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: could stay there, but unlimited Airbnbs I would I would

881
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: probably go, given the golf and boozing, Scottsdale, Vegas Nashville

882
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: or Vegas, Scottsdale, National Nashville, I would have Nashville probably last,

883
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: just depending in between Scottsdale and Vegas. You know, depending

884
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: on where you're coming from. I'm a sucker, like I

885
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: like living here. Wait, like there, I would choose here

886
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: ten out of ten times over Vegas. But there's something

887
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: about the sound like I like casinos. Some people don't like.

888
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I just like the sounds

889
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: of them. And there's enough golf there to have a

890
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: good time. But the weather's great, I think in both

891
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: places in the winter, so hard to beat. I've been

892
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: to Vegas and what's that time I've been been in

893
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: a minute? Something about just walking into the Aria or

894
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: the MGM, just hearing those sounds. I did it at

895
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because they have a h It was

896
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: a hard rock or something like. Right there on the

897
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: strip was a canal street or whatever. The main Strip

898
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: is not Bourbon, but like the main street going through

899
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and you just go and you just hear

900
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: those sounds, like I just guess my juices. Fore Top

901
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: five running backs in the NFL. I'm a Colts fan,

902
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: so obviously I'm biased, but I never hear Jonathan Taylor

903
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: mentioned as a top five back in the league. He's

904
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: consistently great every year, but nobody seems to talk about him.

905
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: Do you think Taylor is a top five back in

906
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: the NFL? Right now? My list, in no order is

907
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: something like Saquon McCaffrey, Henry Taylor, Jacobs. I mean after

908
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: a season where Christian doesn't play, it'd be hard to

909
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: have McCaffrey in the top five right now. Obviously, when

910
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's an elite player, like in a Hall

911
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: of Fame player. He could not play last season and

912
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: then he came back and immediately towards knee. So it's

913
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: like I couldn't with a straight face put him in

914
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: the top five right now. And that's the thing with

915
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: like these lists for running backs, and this is the

916
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: pushback on paying them, is things can change so much.

917
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: Like think how differently we talk about Saquon now then

918
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: we did two years ago, Like it can change really fast.

919
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: Though he's always been an elite talent. I would say

920
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: Derek Henry is a staple. You know, Saquon's the king

921
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: of the castle right now. Jacobs is just an excellent

922
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,919
Speaker 1: all around player. I'd have no issue with Jonathan Taylor there.

923
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: Who would be another guy that would be in the

924
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: mix of the good teams, you know, Jamiir Gibbs. I

925
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: think you would have to swap cmc out for Jamiir Gibbs.

926
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean, how many touchdowns Jamior Gibbs have last year?

927
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: It'd be hard for me to leave him off the list.

928
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: He's twenty three years old, might have a bright future.

929
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: So last year he started four games, obviously, plays a lot,

930
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: ran for fifteen hundred yards, sixteen touchdowns, averaged five and

931
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: a half yards of carry, caught fifty two balls and

932
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, so he had twenty touchdowns. Obviously, they only

933
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: played the one playoff game and he had two touchdowns.

934
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: I'd have to swap out McCaffrey for Gibbs. Obviously, if

935
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's healthy, he goes right back in. But last year

936
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: is pretty scary. The achilles don't work, both of them,

937
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: and then the knee bizarre times. If Russell Wills has

938
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: another bad year, mediocre stats and no playoffs, does this

939
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 1: hurt his Hall of Fame chances? At least the first

940
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: go round his first Super Bowl in was thanks to

941
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: the lob, and the second one he lost the game.

942
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, when you hear the Patriot guys talk about

943
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: that play, I don't want to say he lost the game.

944
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: I know it was his throw. I think it was

945
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: a better like when you hear Patricia or any of

946
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: the Patriot guys, like in some of the documentary style

947
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: stuff go over that situation. It really is less crazy

948
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: than when it happened live. They just I mean, the

949
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: Patriots outscouted the Seattle. If they didn't scout that look,

950
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 1: it's probably an easy touchdown. But they knew the play

951
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: was coming. So Russell's a bizarre guy. I would have said,

952
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, in like twenty eighteen nineteen he was, you

953
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: would have said, like, is he a future Hall of Famer?

954
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: We would have laughed in your face. Of course he is.

955
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: And now it feels like it's getting pretty ugly. And

956
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: sometimes you know when you're so great, like no one

957
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: talked about Willie Mays on the Mets, right, No one

958
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: talked about some people's careers at the end. They just

959
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: talked about the great spot, like how good it was

960
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: in the peak of his powers. Like if Steph Curry

961
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: plays his last season for Charlotte when he's forty two

962
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:29,439
Speaker 1: years old, no one will ever utter that. But when

963
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: you have like the last six seven years of your

964
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: career where you look nothing like you did in the

965
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: peak of your powers, that's a lot of information. Like

966
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: that's a huge sample size, that's a huge thing to

967
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: ingrain in your memory. I think about this a lot,

968
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: like as a kid, I don't go to therapy. Maybe

969
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: one day I will, But it's like there are just

970
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,479
Speaker 1: some memories you really hold on. Not that you don't

971
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: remember some negative stuff, but a lot of times, like

972
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: when you lose a parent into a grandparent, or even

973
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: a friend that maybe you had a roller coaster relationship with,

974
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: you think and remember a lot of the good times.

975
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: And when you're when you're sitting there sometimes maybe by yourself,

976
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a cocktail and just kind of just

977
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: lost in thought, it's the good stuff that comes to

978
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: mind and you almost forget about the negativity. I think

979
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times with an athlete or even a coach,

980
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: like one blip on the radar, like even Belichick the

981
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and that's no one's gonna remember that.

982
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: Even if North he flames out in North Carolina. You know,

983
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: people remember twenty years, six super Bowls, nine appearances. And

984
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: I do wonder Russell Wilson. Now it's like, would he

985
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: be better off if this year doesn't go well just

986
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: to quit? I don't know. I mean, obviously, from a

987
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,959
Speaker 1: financial standpoint, if you can keep making ten million dollars,

988
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame him. He wants to keep making ten

989
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: million dollars all the way from Ireland, so excited getting

990
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: a game. I saw that we knew they were playing

991
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: in Brazil. We know they play in London. I didn't

992
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: they're playing a game in Spain. Playing a game in Spain.

993
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: Rogers really likes this international market. Basically rock Purdy. He

994
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: can't throw the ball in Rain. He has a weak

995
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: arm and can't elevate talent. So make him play out

996
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: his contract if he needs a tag, make it's still

997
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: way less than the contract that he's wanting. Is this naive?

998
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: With all the talent leaving, we need to commit to

999
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: a full rebuild using the draft and build depth across

1000
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: both lines. It would also solve a UK issue as

1001
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: it would free up capspased thoughts. Yeah, I just think

1002
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: that they are We can argue what the right tactic is.

1003
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: It does feel inevitable that they're going to sign him

1004
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: to a contract, So my days of pounding the table

1005
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: like this is crazy. It's like I was saying that

1006
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: last year. It's like, hey, just let it play out. Well,

1007
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: if they're not going to do that, which clearly that

1008
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: is not their intention, it's a waste of a breath, right,

1009
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: So you're just we're gonna have to get the contract

1010
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: and then evaluate them on it. Like at the end

1011
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: of the day, we can nitpick all we want, Like,

1012
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants should never have given Daniel Jones.

1013
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have kept franchising Saquon. They should have extended

1014
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: Saquon and franchise Daniel Jones or maybe let Daniel Jones.

1015
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: But they did what they did, Like they let Saquon

1016
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: walk and they pay Daniel Jones. So you just have

1017
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: to evaluate then off that situation. So we will whenever

1018
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: they give him the contract, because if you tell me

1019
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: right now it's like, hey, they signed him to a

1020
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: contract and they give him a hundred million dollars guaranteed,

1021
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my gosh, one of the great

1022
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: steals of all time. If you tell me they give

1023
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: him too hundred million dollars guaranteed, the conversation is different.

1024
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: So I think at this point I am just at peace.

1025
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 1: Is the wrong. I don't care, Like you give Brock

1026
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: the one hundred million dollars a year, like it doesn't know,

1027
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: it's not my money. But in terms of building a team,

1028
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: like we have to see the numbers in how they

1029
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: will impact everything, and then we'll react because some of

1030
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: these contracts are real, some of them are fake. And uh,

1031
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:04,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know where this is going

1032
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: because all the niners are telling everybody is like, we're

1033
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna fucking play hardball. Well, okay, I'm cool with that.

1034
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I'd play some hardball. I'd offer him a contract right now.

1035
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Here's three years, one hundred and twenty million dollars. Will

1036
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: guarantee every penny. He's made a total of four million

1037
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: dollars in his life, which is a lot of money.

1038
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: But if I give you one hundred and twenty million dollars,

1039
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Say? No, what are you

1040
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna play out? You're gonna play another season for one

1041
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars? Well that's the going rate. Okay,

1042
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: then we'll franchise you next year. She will make a

1043
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: total of forty five million dollars over the next two years.

1044
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Is that what you want to do? We'll give you

1045
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: one twenty right now, the signing bonus of fifty million dollars.

1046
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: It will be in your account before Easter. You interested?

1047
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: The answer is no? Okay, that's the way I would

1048
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: play it, but they're not playing it that way. So

1049
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: if they're not gonna play it that way, it's like

1050
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: it's a waste of our breath. I remember, it's like,

1051
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: why are we paying Tua? Why are we paying Trevor Lawrence? Well,

1052
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: and then they're under contract, so we can talk all

1053
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: day long about that's crazy. Well they did it. So

1054
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: it's like it's a waste of our breath to what

1055
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have done because it's already done. And shit,

1056
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: now a year later, we're a year into the contract,

1057
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: which both did not age very well. Okay, last question

1058
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: is from Juan. That's my name in Spanish, though they

1059
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: used to call me one Itto, which stands for a

1060
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: little John. Hey John. From your perspective, what do you

1061
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: think is the problem with the Colts. Pat McAfee probably

1062
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: is the best punter in Colts history. All of last

1063
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: season literally critiqued the entire Colts organization and the team

1064
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: for how they're being run, and especially dog Anthony Richardson

1065
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: for the tap out incident, but nobody wants to critique

1066
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: Shane for his play calling and lack of ability to

1067
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: help out Richardson. Grow would you try to give Richardson

1068
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: one more shot and just tear it all down and

1069
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: then a complete rebuild. I think the culture at the

1070
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: point where it's either shit or get off the pot

1071
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: for old Chris. And Chris is well liked in the

1072
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: in the industry. He's friends with Colin, a lot of

1073
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: people know him, and people think highly of the guy.

1074
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: But there's no disputing like, they haven't won the division

1075
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: in forever. It feels like they haven't made the playoffs

1076
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: in a while now. And the Anthony Richardson situation is

1077
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing, like there's just no way around that. It's

1078
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: just like it's bad. And then I saw a headline

1079
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: today is like, yeah, they're gonna let the two guys compete.

1080
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, he's competing with Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers,

1081
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: no Daniel Jones. If Anthony Richardson were to be beat

1082
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: out by Daniel Owns, I don't think you could ever recover.

1083
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: And if he got beat out by Daniel Jones and

1084
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: then your team were to miss the playoffs, which I

1085
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: would probably expect them to do, you'd have to fire everybody.

1086
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: The problem is their owner doesn't feel doesn't feel like

1087
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: he's in a great spot. It feels like he's like,

1088
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, like a kind of like a rocker Drugye

1089
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: version meets Joe Biden just to it just it's just

1090
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: not going well. I don't know if you're all upstairs anymore.

1091
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: But this is not Fortune five hundred companies. The board

1092
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: of director can't force the CEO out like he owns it,

1093
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: he runs it. He's in charge him and his family,

1094
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: so he can do whatever he wants. And he clearly

1095
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: likes these guys. He likes Chris a lot. I do

1096
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: wonder how many places like for as for as well

1097
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 1: liked as Chris Ballard is, he would have been fired

1098
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia three years ago, would have been long gone.

1099
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: So I I don't know. I mean, I I'm at

1100
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: the point where Anthony Richardson kind of seen this movie before.

1101
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: You know, a guy with all these physical skills, and

1102
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: sometimes those are the worst guys with all these physical

1103
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: skills who aren't actually that good and do weird stuff

1104
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: that drive you nuts. Did you hold on for much

1105
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: longer than you would for a guy with less talent?

1106
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Because what would you do with the guy with less talent?

1107
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: He would just cut him. He would just move on,

1108
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: even if you draft or bench him, even if you

1109
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: drafted them high. But Anthony Richardson is like guy, he's

1110
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: he's so fast, he's physical presence guy. He can throw

1111
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: the ball three football fields on a rope. It's like, yeah,

1112
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: can he play quarterback? Can he hit the wheel route?

1113
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Can he run a two minute drill? And the answer

1114
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: is usually no. So I think my guess would be

1115
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: right now is that Anthony Richson ends up getting everyone fired.

1116
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: And Shane Stiken, like you said, I thought it was

1117
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: pretty eye opening, Like McAfee's not pulling the shit out

1118
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: of his butt, he's hearing things from people that know

1119
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: and like Mike McDaniel in Miami, when it comes out

1120
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: like he's like, he called you guys for being like

1121
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: your team's not punctual, guys are showing up late. And

1122
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: then Shane Steiken agreed, He's like, yeah, we gotta work

1123
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: on that. I forget. I forget exactly the way he

1124
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: kind of described it, but he acknowledged like it was

1125
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: a problem. He's like, listen, everyone has a moment where

1126
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: a tire blows, car, batteries dead, you get into an accident, help,

1127
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: maybe even you oversleep every human being. Even you know,

1128
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,439
Speaker 1: the highest end Sealed Team six member has probably been

1129
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: late one moment in their life. Some people maybe not

1130
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin, but most people. But if it's like, yeah,

1131
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: it's like consistent issue with the team, that's a reflection

1132
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: of the head coach. I can't imagine people constantly showing

1133
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: up late to Belichick, to Andy Reid, to Pete Carroll,

1134
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: to Sean McVay, to Kyle Shanahan, to Sean Payton, to

1135
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: Nick Saban to Kirby Smart, like it wouldn't be tolerated

1136
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: because it's not tolerated because that's what bad teams do. Like,

1137
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: do you think a bunch of guys in the Ravens

1138
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: and Bills are just showing up late every week? No chance?

1139
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Do you think a bunch of dudes on like the

1140
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: Lions are just lollygagging their way in? Sorry, Coach Campbell

1141
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: late for the fourth time this month? My bad, you're

1142
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: fucking kidding me. And even McDaniel's like, yeah, our fines

1143
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: don't work. That's that's an embarrassing thing to admit because

1144
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: it's not about the money. And clearly, when you say

1145
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: fines don't work, that's the practice squad guy ain't given

1146
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: away ten thousand dollars easily when he's making two hundred

1147
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: grand or your minimum six round pick and giving up

1148
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: that cash the rich, It's like, well, who the rich

1149
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: guys on the team? So you're telling me your best

1150
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: players don't give a shit about showing respect to the

1151
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: rest of the team and the head coach, because that's

1152
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: all it is. When you show up late. You know, listen,

1153
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: we've all been discombobulated and show up late to a

1154
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: zoom or you know, forget like a phone call that

1155
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: we had ten minutes ago, like it's happened to us all,

1156
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: but like walking into a tangible meeting with you know,

1157
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: if you factor in an NFL meeting room, you got

1158
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: fifty three guys in the active roster, you got another

1159
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: ten practice squad guys. You got I'll just pick a number.

1160
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Let's say between quality control guys and just analysts. You

1161
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: probably got twenty plus coaches, head coach, probably got a

1162
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: couple of GM assistant GM guys in there, some trainers.

1163
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Like you got a lot of people in the room.

1164
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: So it's not you're just walking into like one guy

1165
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: like my fault, Bill, I'm late. No it's like one

1166
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: hundred guys in the meeting room. I mean, we've all

1167
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: seen hard knocks and stuff Like I'm not even talking

1168
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: training camp. I'm talking to him the season. The Mems

1169
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: are big walking in ten minutes late. That's that's pretty bad.

1170
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: That to me is the biggest red flag of the operation.

1171
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: And I think some guys they're great like play callers,

1172
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: and clearly Shane is excellent, like understands offense. I also

1173
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: think sometimes when you have a player who is not good,

1174
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: happens a lot of quarterback we all kind of take

1175
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: a dump on the coordinator. It's like, now I've seen

1176
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: Shane Syking's pretty good. I think he's a good play caller.

1177
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: Is he good disciplinarian? Is he strict enough? Is he

1178
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: too is he too much of a players coach? Yeah,

1179
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean that that might be the case. But just

1180
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: in terms of like calling a play on third and

1181
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: seven in the third quarter of a tie game, I

1182
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: think he's proven, like he kind of knows what he's doing.

1183
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: When your quarterback can't hit basic routes, like, it's gonna

1184
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: make the coordinator look bad. So I will defend Shane

1185
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: the coach from a play or a play caller standpoint,

1186
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to defend him from the CEO because you're

1187
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of both. Can you imagine people walking in late

1188
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: to the Harball Brothers meetings all the time. Are you

1189
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: kidding me? Like that? Jim might fight you, John just

1190
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: it just wouldn't be allowed. The team wouldn't allow it.

1191
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, crazy times, Nindy. Feel for you guys. I was.

1192
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: I was a huge paid manning guy in high school.

1193
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Loved the Colts, always rooted for him. And then he

1194
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: won it and I kind of didn't be not that

1195
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a paid manning guy, but once he won it,

1196
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: I felt like, Okay, we're good. I just for a while,

1197
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 1: I just didn't think he was gonna get over the

1198
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: hump that I was gonna be like Charles Barkley of

1199
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. But he was. He was just too good.

1200
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: He figures it out, gott Heol's have a great weekend. Peace.

1201
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: The volume
