Speaker 1: fantasy sport. There is a contest for every fan Fan

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Duel more ways to win. Hi, everybody, welcome in Thursday morning.

6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good one. Nick Wright is coming up.

7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: So Dana White is always fighting with the media. And

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Dana White's assertion, and I agree with him, is you

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: guys don't understand how this business works. You want to

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: pay the fighters big money. The truth is, very few

11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: fighters get me to a UFC pay per view event.

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: I would say I buy every other pay per view,

13
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: sometimes every third, but very few fighters get me to

14
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: a pay per view. I'm not somebody that buys every

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: single card. I'll give you an example. They have a

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: kid now called Batty Patty. He's a Liverpool fighter, Patty pimblet.

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: He is just a punch machine. His volume is incredible,

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: all attitude, British kid, Liverpool. He will now get me

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: going forward to a pay per view UFC card. He's

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: one of four guys they have that can do it.

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: The bottom line is in any business. About ten percent

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: of employees are not worth their contract, but it's a contract.

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Ten percent are not paid what they should be getting.

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: Everybody else gets about what they deserve. You know, I

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: saw a big ben this week came out and said,

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, pay t J. Watt whatever he wants. Well,

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: let's be honest about this. T J. Watt has outperformed

28
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: his contract, okay, But Juju smith Schuster has underperformed his contract. Okay.

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: The offensive lineman last year mostly underperformed their contract in Pittsburgh.

30
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: So these are salary caps, these are business is one

31
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: of the reasons I started the volume. I was reporting

32
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: on businesses and I kind of wanted to have my own.

33
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: And it's not easy. You'd love to pay all your

34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: friends as much as you can. But whenever I hear

35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: the media bagging on Dana White, my first question is, oh,

36
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: you ever owned a business yet? Do you know how

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: much it costs to put on an event? It's really expensive.

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: I've always said this about college sports. I have no

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: problem with kids making money in name, image likeness. I

40
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: am four stars getting paid. But even at Alabama, Ohio State,

41
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: at Clemson, the Three Big Dogs, or Oklahoma you feed them,

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: You travel tutors, house, electric bill, cable bill. Think about

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: how much it takes to feed a three hundred and

44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty five pound offensive linemen. They have eighty five guys

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: on scholarship, twenty other guys connected to the program. So

46
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: if you go to the big universities Bama, Oklahoma, Clemson,

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: Ohio state best staffs, of the twenty five kids they

48
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: sign a year, hit, half underperform, half get hurt, and

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: you keep mon scholarship. Yes, there's the occasional Reggie Bush

50
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: at USC who is worth far more than a scholarship,

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: but do you realize USC is recruited thirty two running

52
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: backs since Reggie Bush, none have hit. Ronald Jones is

53
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: the second best. Good player, not transformative. So I'm not

54
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: saying I don't like name image, lightness for Bryce Young,

55
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: for Kyle Hamilton at the volume, those are stars. Those

56
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: are all American level players. But a university has to

57
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: pay for everybody, And even at Alabama, there's maybe six

58
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: guys a class who are even better than their three

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: four or five stars. There's several four or five star

60
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: guys that underperform, and then everybody's kind of what you thought.

61
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: So I always try to have perspective on UFC or

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: pay this guy anything, or college guy should get paid. Yes,

63
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: the stars, it's a very tiny small group, even at

64
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: the college football powers, even at UFC, even with the

65
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. I am not anti paying people. But you

66
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: watch the media, which is younger than ever because it's

67
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: cheaper than ever. And as we become a more corporatized country,

68
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: corporations like free and cheap labor, right, and so we

69
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: have young media and they all kind of fall into this.

70
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Just pay everybody the most money. Listen, t J. Watt's

71
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: really really good. But here's another question. What is his

72
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: value among the Steelers front seven. They've got four or

73
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: five high end players. They wouldn't be as good without

74
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: t J. Watt, But he could have far greater value,

75
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: say on Jacksonville, where he would be hands down their

76
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: best player. So you have to weigh all these things.

77
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: It's not just are you good, it's how important are you?

78
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: How valuable are you? What is your position? How many

79
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: years in the league are you replaceable? I'll give you

80
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: an example wide receivers right now. I like who Ulio Jones.

81
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: I would not have paid him if I was the

82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. A Calvin Ridley looks to be a top

83
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: five receiver. Julio Jones had been hurt and frankly his

84
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: value now going forward with Kyle Pitts Calvin Ridley gage,

85
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay him either. Sometimes you can be simultaneously

86
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: two things, super talented and reasonably expendable. I know that

87
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: doesn't sound right, but Julio Jones super talented, but I

88
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: understood Atlantam moving on. I also understood Tennessee moving toward him.

89
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill's always going to be as good as his weapons.

90
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: He's not a guy that's going to carry a franchise.

91
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: He needs better than average receivers and a top running back.

92
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: So just kind of on my mind. I see the

93
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: media attacking Dana Wider. I see Big Ben saying t

94
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: JS PAM pay him whatever he wants. There's a lot

95
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: of context to all this stuff outside of baseball salary caps.

96
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: With all these things, you want to know a team

97
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: that pays players what they want. The Dallas Cowboys, their

98
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: top seven paid players are all paid greatly and they're

99
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: all good. Amari Cooper, Dak Prescott at this point, Tyron Smith,

100
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, DeMarcus Lawrence. They're good players being paid great money.

101
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys are so thin because in a

102
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: salary cap sport, you can't pay good great. You got

103
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: to pay great great, and that is you're talking max

104
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: three to five percent of your employees, your football players.

105
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: All right, my buddy Nick Wright, co host. First things first.

106
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: So one of the things Nick, that I try to

107
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: be aware of because I've always viewed myself as sort

108
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: of I'm the judge and the audience we have, you know,

109
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: the defense, the prosecution, and the audience is the jury,

110
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: and I want to render with out emotion a verdict

111
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: on opinions. So I've always tried to be aware of

112
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: my biases. For instance, if you're not verbal, I think

113
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: less of you. That's why I Nick Seriani is so

114
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: bad in front of a mic, and Sean mcvayh is

115
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: so good that my immediate bias is mcveagh's a genius,

116
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: and Nick Seriani is a used car salesman. He he's

117
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: just regrettable. And it's not really fair because NFL executives

118
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: really think Philadelphia is good this year. So I'm saying, Okay,

119
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: what I'm doing is it's it's kind of it's kind

120
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: of verbal confirmation bias that if you're not verbal, because

121
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm in a verbal industry. And I find this with

122
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and I have to caution myself because I

123
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: was a divorced kid, I ended up having to be

124
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: pretty self reliant. I had kind of a I would say,

125
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: emotionally remote dad and kind of a reticent mother, a

126
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: British reticent mother, right, And so I think I'm very

127
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: self reliant. So needy guys are a complete turn off

128
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: to me, complete utter turn off. And I find Aaron

129
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers he needs to constantly let you know I don't

130
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: need football, I don't need my family, I don't need teammates,

131
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't need executives. Brady and Russell Wilson are the opposite.

132
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: I need my kids, I need my fans, I need

133
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: my football, I need my faith, I need my family.

134
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: So what I'm doing, I'm talking myself out of Aaron

135
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: a lot because he's the kind of guy little you know,

136
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Hollywood friends make sense a little bit of an artist.

137
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: He constantly needs affirmation and he projects it through the

138
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: tunnel of I don't need any of you, which is

139
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: telling us he needs all of us, and so I

140
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: do think it shades my opinions on Aaron. Oh well,

141
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: so I think that's definitely true. First of all. Second

142
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: of all, I don't think our job in the media

143
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: is to be unbiased, not in the sports media. If

144
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: you're Edward R. Murrow, I suppose it is. But in

145
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: the sports media we're allowed to be biased. I think

146
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: our job is to be honest with the audience about

147
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: our bias. What I don't like is when guys are clearly,

148
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, cloaked in bias or dripping in bias, and

149
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: they pretend like, oh, I'm not buy I no favorites here,

150
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: I you know, I let me give a for instance

151
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: for me and then all addressed Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson stuff.

152
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I consider the guy who runs the Sixers, Daryl Morey,

153
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: a personal friend, meaning if he went to go, you know,

154
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: run a spack and I went to go be a

155
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: professional poker player, and our industries didn't collide at all anymore,

156
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: I'd still hang out with him. I'd still go see

157
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: him like we're friends. So it's not my job to

158
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: not have that bias. It's my job to make sure

159
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the audience knows it. So just know, hey, listen, just

160
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: know when I'm talking about the Sixers, you know, I

161
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: like the guy, just like when he ran the Rockets.

162
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: I let people know that. Right when it comes to

163
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Rogers and Wilson, I think that's a really and I

164
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: never thought of it till just now, a really interesting

165
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: comp because take Brady out of it. Brady has won

166
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: so much and now he's done it with two organizations.

167
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: He is doing to the foot Quarterback winning record book.

168
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: What Wilt did did the NBA record book. You almost

169
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: have to be like, aside from Wills, it's like fifty

170
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: point games. Aside from Wills, you know what, they just

171
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: throw him out. Yeah, so nobody, everybody is going to

172
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: fail the compared to Brady test. But I do think

173
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: it's very self aware of you to bring up Russell

174
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Wilson because you love Russell Wilson and I've always loved

175
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. And Russell Wilson got the same amount of

176
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowls as Aaron. Yeah, and I think one would

177
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: argue Aaron never had the legion of doom Green Bay

178
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Packers version, you know, at any point in his career.

179
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: I know Russell's been to another and could have too,

180
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: but Aaron also has been to five NFC Championship games,

181
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: clearly could have In fact, you know, the kind of

182
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: what's work in the road moment some would argue, was

183
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: the one against Seattle where neither quarterback really played well

184
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: but Aaron's team was way ahead, and then there's the

185
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: onside kick and then over time and Russell goes on,

186
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: that's why we didn't get Aaron verse Brady in the

187
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And so I do think that there would

188
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: be there's a you know, there isn't really an anti

189
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson corner in the media to people either love

190
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: him or don't really talk about him. And I think

191
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: it's because he doesn't touch on any pressure points for

192
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: media members. There's nothing like that rubs people the wrong way.

193
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: But if his personality will were a little bit different,

194
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: what you know, could you not imagine the rant of

195
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: Oh Russell Wilson first three years, two super Bowl appearances,

196
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: one victory, you know, a playoff record. This since then,

197
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: since they turned the team over to him, what's he

198
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: done like? People don't do that, people like him, And

199
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: so I do think that Aaron and Russell act very

200
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: differently obviously, and I even though by the way, both married, well,

201
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Russell married a celebrity, Aaron is marrying or dating or

202
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: engaged to a celebrity. Has always dated celebrities, but we

203
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: react differently to them, and I think it certainly colors

204
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: how they're covered, even though I would say Aaron's play

205
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: has been a touch more excellent over the course of

206
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: his career and they've done the same amount of winning. Yeah,

207
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: it's um, you know, Aaron's just I think I know

208
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: for fact that Aaron rolls his eyes a lot at

209
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and some of the religious stuff. You know,

210
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: Aaron's had a disconnect from his family, evangelical family, and

211
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: so I think even Aaron's talked about this publicly about

212
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: some I think he I think Aaron looks at Russell Wilson,

213
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: And there's been people who have said this before of players,

214
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: they don't buy all of what Russell's selling for the record,

215
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: and the religion stuff. I'm not a religious guy, yeah,

216
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't really. I don't know what Russell's faith is

217
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: and I didn't know the evangelical stuff about Aaron's family

218
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: until you just said it. So it set the religion

219
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: part out of it. There's a lot of what Russell

220
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Wilson does that is I rollable, Like, there is a

221
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: lot of the and like just so well crafted and manicured,

222
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: obviously rehearsed personality that doesn't feel three dimensional like. There

223
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: is a lot of what I'll use an odd example,

224
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: they call it goldfishing. Oh really, well, well, I mean

225
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: goldfishing is when you go out and you put something

226
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter just so it gets likes. Like, you know,

227
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: you say something about an obvious poor taste tweet, easiest

228
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: stance ever in the exactly that you know he's gonna

229
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: have one hundred percent approval, right, yes, but not putting

230
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: yourself out there in the least. Like to use the

231
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: late Kobe Bryant as an example. Early in Kobe's career,

232
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't really interesting to me because he was so

233
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: guarded the way Tiger had been basically forever. Right. And

234
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: then Kobe finally late late in his career, got to

235
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: the pardon the language, I don't give a fuck mode

236
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: and got really interesting, right, He got really interesting, And

237
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: I would like to see that from Russell. Aaron's always

238
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: been closer to that of I think being his actual

239
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: self and now is really I mean you can see

240
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: it even as letting his hair grow a little bit,

241
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: more sharing more on social media, you can I like

242
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: to get And by the way, my guy Patrick Mahomes,

243
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: it's not that interesting outside of football, like because he

244
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: is crafting what he hopes is a billion dollar brand

245
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: and so it's all you know what I mean, it's

246
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: all prepackaged and repaired statements, tweets. How he's going to

247
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: present himself to the world. Yeah, you know there is

248
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: something too where I will somewhat defend Aaron because I'm

249
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: not anti Eron all the time. Although it feels like

250
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: that is that both farvan he although when they met

251
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: initially you could have never convinced Aaron he would become

252
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: very far of like one was southern, one was progressive

253
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: West Coast, one's Cali cool southern chill. That they've both

254
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: become similar in their sort of retirement talk and their

255
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: frustration with the organization. And I wonder if some of

256
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: it is this that when you're in Green Bay, you

257
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: are the city. I mean, Matt Stafford could put a

258
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,239
Speaker 1: hat on and walk through a mall in La unnoticed.

259
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: Mike Trout puts glasses on, could walk through my yard

260
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: unnoticed is that Farvin Rodgers are not only great, but

261
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: they're so iconic, and they're so such gigantic celebrities in

262
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: an area without any any without any would and by

263
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: the way, like they would be. This has been This

264
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: is why Kansas City my hometown. It's so important if

265
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: we get a great athlete that they like it there

266
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: because there's no famous people, Like there's no famous people

267
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. But Kansas City is a two sports city,

268
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, like the thirty first biggest city in the country.

269
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: Like it's a small market compared to Chicago, Atlanta, all

270
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: these things, but it's secon city. The Kansas City has suburbs.

271
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Suburbs of Kansas City far bigger than green Bay. Like,

272
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: so it is. It is an absurdity that Green Bay

273
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: has a pro sports team, right, it's like a it's

274
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: it's an outlier that never got fixed because of the

275
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: history and the likes are all these things. I cannot

276
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: imagine it is enjoyable to be the most famous packer

277
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: the six months of the year you have to live there. Well,

278
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: think about this, I just can't imagine. It's fun both

279
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: farv and Rogers were incredibly likable for the first decade

280
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: of their stay there. Both became a little less likable

281
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: in their last half decade, So the timing not suspicious.

282
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: Is interesting is that after ten years of being almost

283
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: a messiah, that any human being in that space would

284
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: be unique if it didn't, well, let me ask you.

285
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question because I don't know this.

286
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: During the end of your time at ESPN, did you

287
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: live in Bristol? Oh? God, no, was if you ever

288
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: had to do things in Bristol outside of the ESPN campus,

289
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: was it brutal? Because I would imagine it would have

290
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: been like, because Bristol's around, like, because you're, at that

291
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: point you were one of, if not the face of

292
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: the network. There's not a lot in that town other

293
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: than the network, and I would imagine you couldn't go

294
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: to like a Starbucks nicely and maybe like I don't know,

295
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: I would imagine there are some comps there. But like

296
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: the most famous people at ESPN, if they are living

297
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: in Bristol, what that would be like? Well, it wasn't

298
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: bad at all, because you know, Scott van Pelt and

299
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: Steve Levey lived a block away, right and now I

300
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: live in Los Angeles where nobody cares, which I love

301
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: so and then I go to Vegas and there's celebrities everywhere.

302
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: So I really prefer being in a place that nobody cares.

303
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't I want to go and do this weekend

304
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: I go to Vegas. I want to be with my kids.

305
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to If somebody comes up, great if

306
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: they don't find But I can't imagine if I live

307
00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: somewhere ten years Farvin Rogers and was the only person

308
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: of note, it would get annoying. It would have to

309
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: affect you. And I think the timing is interesting that

310
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: both Farvin Rodgers at about the same timeline got a

311
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: little prickly with the organization a little more difficult, started

312
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: hinting it retirement. It's just quite possible that it wears

313
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: people out, it wears you out. I don't. I think

314
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: it would be illogical for it not too that's right,

315
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: Logic's perfect word. I think you would have to be

316
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: a very unique personality for that not to become you

317
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: tiresome to a degree because they're in because of the

318
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: way the NFL is set up during the season, aside

319
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: from your bye week, you just have that one day

320
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: off and when you're in Green Bass, not like you

321
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: can take a day trip somewhere, you know what I mean?

322
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: You can't if you're if you play for when San

323
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: Diego had a team, right and you really have you know,

324
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: thirty six hours off, you could theoretically be like, man,

325
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to Vegas. I'm going to I'm taking my

326
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: own plane. I'm going to Vegas. I'll be back. I

327
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: guess you can do that, but in half your time

328
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: offs in a plane like where you know what I mean,

329
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: there's no like warm weather, cool place to go to

330
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: close by. Are you ready to amp up the excitement?

337
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: So this week, here's what I'm thinking. I like Ohio

338
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: State at home to be Oregon by more than thirteen

339
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: and a half. I like Iowa plus three and a half.

340
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: To win straight out at Iowa State, and I'll take

341
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: Texas minus five and a half to cover at Arkansas.

342
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,879

355
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: in West Virginia. Damon Stodemeyer once told me this. He

356
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: loved playing in Toronto. He said, it's diverse. There's a

357
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: baseball team, a CFL team, an NBA team, he goes,

358
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: I can hide. He goes, I'm from Portland and was exhausting.

359
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: He goes, in they're in African American. In Portland, you're

360
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: a blazer. He goes, That's what it felt like to

361
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: me sometimes, you know, I think about this. The taxes

362
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and New York are the highest in

363
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: the country. New York, though, has bad weather so New York.

364
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: In LA you can make a lot of money beyond

365
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: your sport because of the production, the television networks and

366
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: because of the size of the media, the scale of it.

367
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: People always talk about, oh, the taxes of California. It

368
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: does not dissuade pro athletes think about right now in

369
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and one of the reasons athletes love it here, Nick,

370
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: they can disappear. Just think in LA. Justin Herbert I've done.

371
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: This list is the fourteenth most popular LA professional athlete.

372
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: Stafford's like nine. I mean good God, Lebron Ad Kawhi,

373
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Paul George, Aaron Donald, I could put Sean McVan this list.

374
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Kershaw, Max scherget Walker, Bueller, Mookie Betts.

375
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: We have literally eighteen. Even in New York. You get

376
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: past like Aaron judge and it's like Daniel Jones, right.

377
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: So so my point being is why are they all

378
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: attracted here. It's not because they save money. Our taxes

379
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: are brutal to wealthy people. It's because they can hide.

380
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: And so I guess what you and I are saying

381
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: in Green Bay it is the opposite of La. You're

382
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: the only star. You cannot go to a grocery store,

383
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: you cannot go anywhere in Green Bay. And I think,

384
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: I think after about ten years of it, Farvin Rodgers,

385
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: it's obnoxious, it's annoying. Or and this is listen, and

386
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm from Kansas City. This is not like an anti

387
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: small city thing Colin and I are doing. It's not

388
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: an anti Midwestern. It's just a it is, I think,

389
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: and I think for you know, to kind of turn

390
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: the car a little bit. There is a reason why

391
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: NBA stars in the off season living about four places. Yeah,

392
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: and it is not it's not just weather and his usements,

393
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: not just taxes for NBA guys, very very Houston's one

394
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: of them, Atlanta's one of them, Las obviously one of them.

395
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: It's also where are the where is there a major

396
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: population of black people? Because there is the level of Okay,

397
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: you're a six if you're if you're listening, if you're

398
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: six eight or above, you're gonna stand out no matter

399
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: where you're at. But if you're you know, a six

400
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: foot four inch black guy, there's only about let's say

401
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: you're not even a super good superstar. I'm talking about like,

402
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, eighth guy on a team. There's only about

403
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: three or four cities in America where you can go

404
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: about your daily life and not have just random people

405
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: who don't even know you're a pro athlete staring at

406
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: you because you're an outlier of an outlier, right, and

407
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: so that is so that one of the things that

408
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to what you're talking about, Aaron, is

409
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: everyone in Green Bay knows who all the backers are.

410
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: It's like you and and so of course, like if

411
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: you are back tri can't go ten feet without being

412
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: sucked right, much less the two greatest players in the

413
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: modern history of their franchise in Farvin Rodgers. Yeah. So, um,

414
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: we like betting Cowboys at Buccaneers. The line is now

415
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Tampa minus eight and a half on fan duel. So

416
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: to me, this is a pass. I liked it at

417
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: seven and a half at eight and a half. It's

418
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: a pass. I do think it has a chance to

419
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: be Bama against Miami, where you get big brands and

420
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: one of them can play. Tampa's fascinating. I can't tell

421
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: you the last NFL team, you know, I love the

422
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: draft that went into a draft with no needs. They

423
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: were simply drapting depth. Joe Tryon is just depth. They

424
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: already had four players with over six sacks, and Tryon

425
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: I grew up. He grew up in the Pacific Northwest,

426
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: went to Washington, grew up in the Tacoma area. I

427
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: followed him for years. He's a wiry, explosive, very dynamic

428
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: edge rusher. And so I can see Tampa in what

429
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: I think is a little weaker conference, really rolling over

430
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: seven or eight teams this year. Their division is three

431
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: rebuilding teams and Kansas City. They're not going to roll

432
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: over the Chargers. Denver can push back. Raiders can't. But

433
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: you start looking at Kansas City schedule, Cleveland can push back.

434
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to win this thing, but

435
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: my take on this is this minus eight and a

436
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: half line. If they cover, we're gonna see that a

437
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: lot with Tampa this year. It's gonna be in the

438
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: nines and tens. Listen, it was you know, we all

439
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: know it was written into the NFL buy laws. Tom

440
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Brady is not allowed to play in a division with

441
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. You know what I mean. He was drafted

442
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: into one, you know, because the Colts were in tom

443
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: Brady's division. And then, oh my god, we can't have that.

444
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: Let's create new divisions. Send Peyton Manning to the AFC

445
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: South because therefore Tom bradios have to go through Chad

446
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: Pennington for fifteen years. That'll be fine. Then he goes

447
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: to the NFC South, it's like, oh, he's got Drew Brees. No,

448
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, you gotta retire. Now, you gotta go. And

449
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: so we know, we know those are the rules. But no,

450
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: So I don't think the Bucks are gonna go back

451
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. I do think the Bucks, though,

452
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: are probably going to be the one seat. So here's

453
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: my logic on it. I don't think there's any team

454
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: in the nfcast that can win twelve thirteen games. I

455
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: just don't like I so scratched them off Green Bay

456
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: and the entire NFC North, the entire NFC North, the

457
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: schedule colony is a massacre. So your none you know,

458
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: you're the two divisions you play just by the randomness

459
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: of the year. This year, if you're the NFC North,

460
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: are the AFC North two excellent teams and a third

461
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: good one and the NFC West the best division in football.

462
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: So imagine if you're not the Packers, it's like, Okay,

463
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: we have the Packers twice, plus the Rams, the Seahawks,

464
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: the Niners, the Cardinals, the Ravens, the Browns, the Steelers.

465
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: That's nine of your seventeen games, right. The Packers obviously

466
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: don't play themselves, but they're one bonus game is against

467
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, right, So that's you got a lot of

468
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: really hard games. So I don't think the Packers are

469
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: going to be the one seed, even though I think

470
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: they might be the best team in the NFC and

471
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: in the NFC West. Too many good teams. Gonna be

472
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: very hard for one of those teams to get to

473
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen wins because you have six games against

474
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: really good teams in your division. So I do think

475
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: Tampa's going to be the one seed. I don't think

476
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna make it back to the Super Bowl. I

477
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: think that San Francisco is in a really good position,

478
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: which is if Jimmy g gets hurt, then going to

479
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. If he doesn't get hurt, they can use

480
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: Trey Lance as like a you know, a dynamic weapon,

481
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: and if at some point Trey Lance is ready, they

482
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: can just go to him like that's something. This is

483
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna rance here for a moment. Everyone

484
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: says the Mahomes model. Uh said, for a year, then takeover.

485
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: This is one of my most unpopular takes, but I

486
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: believe it with my heart. I think the Chiefs screwed

487
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: that up. I think the Chiefs if Mahomes in twenty

488
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: eighteen was the best player in the league five thousand yards,

489
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns, MVP, you're telling me that he got that

490
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: much better in the off season or he was close

491
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: to that in twenty seventeen. So the Chiefs in twenty

492
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: seventeen went with Alex Smith, started off well, went in

493
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: a rut, stuck with him, and then lost a home

494
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: playoff game to Marcus Mariota, who doesn't get to start

495
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: in the league anymore. I think the Chiefs should have

496
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: gone to Mahomes midway through his rookie year. Everyone looks

497
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: at his success because he was so good after I

498
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: wonder if Trey Lance if they end up going to

499
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: him at some point his rookie year. But I do

500
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: think Tampa is going to be really good. I also

501
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: think nine points if it gets there, is a big

502
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: number in the NFL. That's a big Week one number

503
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: against a potential playoff team like the Cowboys. Not only

504
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: are great, but they're a potential playoff team. That's I

505
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't bet Tampa, And if it got to nine,

506
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: I think i'd bet the Cowboys. Also, even if Tampa dominates,

507
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: McCarthy and Dak have something to prove Dak shoulder, Dak injury,

508
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy bad first year. It would be a backdoor cover

509
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: like they will not stop fighting. They do not want

510
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: to be humiliated, correct, And they've got by the way

511
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: they've got to have there. If let's say the game's

512
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: a little out of hand, Yeah, it's not like they're

513
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: going to You say they don't want to get humiliated,

514
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: That's correct. They also need the reps they Dad didn't

515
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: have preseason, right, They're gonna need there. I think they

516
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: would use the time to be like let's work on

517
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: some bad Let's work on some stuff, you know with

518
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: our downfield passing game. Yeah, I mean I think the

519
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: problem for the Cowboys is this. There's two ways realistically

520
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: to beat Tampa. One is the way the Chiefs were

521
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: gonna try to in the Super Bowl they obviously couldn't,

522
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: which is, let's just getting to shoot out. Let's just

523
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: try to beat these guys thirty eight thirty five. Maybe

524
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: Dallas could do that if Zach Martin were there, if

525
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: Dak was you know, if it was week eight, if

526
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: you're fully you know what I mean, fully rolling offensively,

527
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: maybe you could. But when Dak hadn't played since he

528
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: snapped his ankle, Zach Martin's not there, I don't even

529
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: beat him shoot all right. The other way to beat

530
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: him is how Chicago beat him, how the Giants almost

531
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: beat him last year. Just beat the hell out of breath.

532
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: You know. The Cowboys can't do that, you know, the

533
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: King and with their you kind of remade secondary, can't.

534
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: You see? There'll be a lot of plays where Cowboys

535
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: guys afterwards are pointing at each other like I thought,

536
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: you wait, like the miscommunication stuff. Yeah, I'd be very surprised.

537
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: If Dallas wins, very surprised. So another thing we disagree

538
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: with a lot is Cam Newton. And I do think

539
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: Cam played better than Boston media said last year. I

540
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: think he was very coachable. I defended Cam almost all year.

541
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare, eight opt out, no preseason. I

542
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: thought Cam was a gamer last year. I thought they

543
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: were two plays a play against Buffalo on a game

544
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: against Seattle from being nine and seven with literally no

545
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: viable tight ends or wide receivers. So and I thought

546
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: the Boston media just had an axe to grind. I

547
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: thought Cam wasn't terrible. He got COVID and then two

548
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: weeks after he was weak and bad at the end

549
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: of the year for what he had. I mean, hell,

550
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: Brady left for a reason, they got no players. But

551
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: here's where you and here's my issue with Cam, and

552
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: I said it this week, is that the media has

553
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: a soft spot for a unique and interesting and Cam

554
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: was both. He was a power running quarterback, he liked fashion,

555
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: Westbrooks like this, and that Cam was treated almost like Mahomes.

556
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: He never had back to back winning seasons. In fact,

557
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: he had at least what we consider an above average

558
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: coach in five of nine years he had a top

559
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: ten defense and most of his career the rest of

560
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: the division was rebuilding and he never had back to

561
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: back winning seasons. So though I defended him, he had

562
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: no market when he was available the first time with

563
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: New England and now he has no market as a backup.

564
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: Will Greer got a phone call in eight minutes from

565
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and that my criticism isn't as much about

566
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: Cam as it is about the fanaticism among the media

567
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: treating him like he's special. I mean, Lamar Jackson has

568
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: won eighty one percent of his games in an excellent division.

569
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a national commercial. You can't for every

570
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: positive article, there's a negative one. Well, Lamar, Listen, you

571
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Cam. Cam's greatest quality as a human being as

572
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: probably his charisma. Listen, man, Cam. When Cam is he's

573
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: great looking, he is like he you know, he commands

574
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: a room. So I understand why endorsements would love Cam

575
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: so but I have a few thoughts on this one.

576
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: Is I mean, to the surprise of absolutely no one,

577
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: it took approximately three minutes for the Boston media to

578
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: turn their knives on Cam. It's like, oh, he might

579
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: lose the job to the Alabama quarterback. Oh here, you

580
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: know what's hurting Cam? This came out of local Boston radio.

581
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: He's dancing to that hippote hot music too much before

582
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: the during right, and then the moment after he's released,

583
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: you know what gets leaked. Mac Jones was teaching Cam

584
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: Newton the playbook go to Hell, like stop it. We

585
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: know what you're saying there, and that right there is

586
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: why Cam did have some media members and I might

587
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: be one of them who tried to maybe overlook some

588
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: of his flaws because he was a guy who was

589
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: always there was about ten percent of the sports media,

590
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: and it typically was the ten percent of the sports

591
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: media that I dislike the most, who always went after him,

592
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: who never gave him credit, who And it was like,

593
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to be lumped in

594
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: with you guys. And it's the same I'm gonna talk

595
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: about you, Colin, but I don't want to be one

596
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: being with that group. And it's the same thing, by

597
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: the way, in an odd way that is preventing. And

598
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: I've said this to you before, I think the media

599
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: from having an honest discussion about Lamar. Lamar is clearly transcendent.

600
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: Lamar is clearly a winner, and Lamar is tough his nails.

601
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: And if you can't make a top ten or even

602
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: a top eight quarterback list, that's credible, that doesn't have

603
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: him on it, right right, All that's true. This is

604
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: also true. He clearly has some limitations throwing the football

605
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: that it doesn't really matter in the regular season but

606
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: has hurt him in the playoffs. There are smart members

607
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: of the media, members that do their whole their whole

608
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: ethos is analytics and you know, like the really advanced

609
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: stats who ignore all of the Lamar Jackson obvious laws

610
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: and there's not many, but they are glaring because they

611
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: don't want to be on ever on the side of

612
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: the argument with the folks who were like, you should

613
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: play wide receiver because those people were idiots. And so

614
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: I think there is a like the enemy of my

615
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: enemy is my friend thing going on with some quarterbacks,

616
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: particularly black mobile quarterbacks, which is because their loudest critics

617
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: tend to sometimes be jackasses that folks then treat them

618
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: with kid gloves. Because I have found some of the

619
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson commentary patronizing to be totally honest, yeah, like

620
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: disrespectful of his ability because here's the reality. If your

621
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: teams starting running back goes down and it devastates your

622
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: team's chances, that is an indictment on the quarterback. It

623
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: just is right, Like, there's what teams could lose their

624
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: starting running back, like, oh they're screwed. Well, the Titan

625
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: and because nobody really believes in Taniel no matter what

626
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: the numbers are. Well the Saints, Well that's because nobody's

627
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: gonna believe in James rightfully. So so if you look

628
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: at the Ravens, you're like, oh, no, Dobbins, Well, now

629
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: they're screwed. What you're saying is you have questions about

630
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: Lamar's ability to throw the ball. Those questions are fine

631
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: to ask, just like they were fine to ask with Cam.

632
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: The one of my problems with the Camp stuff was

633
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: we can't act like his excellence didn't exist. He had

634
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: one of the great Callan you watched college football, You've

635
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 1: seen many guys with a better single season than Cam,

636
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: because I haven't. And the fifteen and one year he

637
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: was special. The fifteen and one year he was special

638
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: and outstanding. My I always try to judge this. I

639
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: try to be very consistent on this. Cam didn't win enough.

640
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: Lamar wins a lot. That's why I like Lamar. It

641
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: all falls there. I don't you know me, I'm more

642
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: accountant than I am artist. I don't care stylistically. Cam

643
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: didn't win. Lamar wins. And I always have this. I

644
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: always have this belief that the raider you are at

645
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: something you don't have to be complete. Great example, if

646
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: you're a talk show host and you're really genuinely funny,

647
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to watch as many games because you

648
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: can kind of. If you're a great conversationalist or you're

649
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: genuinely funny or quick witted, then the details matter less.

650
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: If you're dry, you can't make mistakes. You have to

651
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: be a human box scorer. Lamar is so transformative as

652
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: a playmaker. I don't need Patrick Mahones to throw or

653
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: I win an eighty percent of my game. So that's

654
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: a great point. You know what, Colin, that, my friend

655
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: is a great point, and you put it in really

656
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: good terms because you're so you still you love sports still,

657
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and you know I hung out with you, you know,

658
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: outside of work, like you are, you are spending You

659
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: watch a hell of a lot more college football than me.

660
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: You watch as much NFL as is humanly possible, and

661
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: you're watching all the big NBA games. But let's be honest,

662
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: that is only kind of what people are coming to

663
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: you for. They're coming to you for kind of like

664
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: the big picture stuff crystallized in a way they can

665
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: they can deal with it. Our our old friend mad

666
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: Dog Russo right, he watches everything, but I think people

667
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: are listening to him mostly because he's funny. Now. I

668
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: don't know what he means to be funny, but he is.

669
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: He's hilarious. He's hilarious. Now I can I can be

670
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: like quickly funny off of someone else, like with you,

671
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: I can be funny. But nobody, nobody, even they're describing me.

672
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: He's like Nick right, that guy's hilarious. Eat. He is

673
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: super important for me that I am buttoned up on

674
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: all the information because that's what I'm here for, right,

675
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: like I am. People, it's one of the best. I

676
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: don't even know what people mean it as a compliment,

677
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: but I take it his one. Like people, when I

678
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: used to come on your show early on and they

679
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: didn't know my name, it would call me the facts guy,

680
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: facts like f acts like because like, but that's what

681
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm therefore like I'm there to like provide information and

682
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: kind of punch you with a bam bam bam. Yeah,

683
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: and so I can't. It's a bigger deal if I

684
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: have a grievous factor about something then it is for

685
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: most talk show hosts because that's kind of supposed to

686
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: be my thing. And that's an interesting thing with what

687
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: you're saying about Lamar is when you when your thing

688
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: you are so great at it playmaking, that if your

689
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: playmaking is one of one at your position ever yea

690
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: that if you have some weaknesses, it's some other stuff. Overall,

691
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: you were still so outstanding you can deal with it.

692
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a really good point, like a really

693
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: good point that I hadn't thought of. Yeah, and camad playmaking,

694
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: but it didn't produce wins, whereas Lamar's produces wins. It

695
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: is so special. He's so fast. Now, Cam was a

696
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: power runner. Lamar is so fast if you don't have

697
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: a spy, and sometimes if you do, he will humiliate you.

698
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: He will literally run past your people. Speaking of running

699
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and wins, can I ask you a question. I

700
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: know it's sharing out on the schedule for today, but oh,

701
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't care. Yeah, what's your concern level about Kyler

702
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, Cliff Kingsbury, Because to me, they're staring at

703
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: a last place in the division, and that doesn't mean

704
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: they stink, but that's a brutal division. Kingsbury, I'm not

705
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: sure on and Kyler. The reason it worries me is

706
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: because of his size. I think he's a guy that,

707
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: like his best chance to win at a super high

708
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: level is more likely to be early in his career

709
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: than late, because I don't know how long a five

710
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: ten quarterback that's not Russell Wilson or Drew Brees is

711
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: going to you know, last at his style, and I

712
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: think they could be in a really rough spot this year,

713
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: a really rough spot. Well, he has a perfect comp

714
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: and he's in the same division like Russell Wilson. He

715
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: is evasive and rarely gets hit because they both played

716
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: baseball and they're beautiful sliders. Lamar's not Cam wasn't so.

717
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: Kyler and Russell played baseball, run around, rarely get hit,

718
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: slide and they throw both a beautiful catchable ball. They're

719
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: baseball players. They're very similar. Now. The difference is Kyler

720
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: has remember that awkward interview on The Dan Patrick Show.

721
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: There have been discussions that Kyler's not really a leader.

722
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: They brought in JJ Watt for that, Aj Green, they

723
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: brought in veteran players to lead, whereas Russell, it's really

724
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: part of his DNA. I mean, he could be a pastor,

725
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: he could be you know, Joel Osten. He's you know,

726
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: he's got that ability to just stand and people are

727
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: drawn to him. I worry about that. So you don't

728
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: have to be a great formidable leader if your coach

729
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: is so Russell is and Pete is. So Pete's a

730
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: great leader. I have Greg Olsen tells me his staff meeting,

731
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean his meetings. Greg's like they are so buttoned up.

732
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: It's inspiring all of them every week. So Pete's a

733
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: great leader and Russell. What I worry about is Cliff

734
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: isn't a great leader, though he's bright. And Kyler's talented,

735
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: but not a great leader. And this league is largely

736
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: defined by leadership. Andy Reid is a leader of a mentor.

737
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes clearly has a galvanizing effect on Pat Travis Kelsey

738
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: feels very much a leader. So when I look at

739
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the Hunt family, I just I don't see

740
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: just talent. I just see leaders everywhere and talent Arizona.

741
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: I see talent outside of JJ Watt. Who do you say, oh, yeah,

742
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: he's going. And by the way, Pitcherald was not super loud.

743
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: He was just so excellent and respect so long and respected.

744
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: But and new Hopkins is an amazing player. But I

745
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know, like is the I don't know where he

746
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: follows a leadership spectrum. I think some of his anti

747
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: back stuff probably hurts him in the locker room in

748
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: some way, So like that is tough. The JJ WAK

749
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: point is a good one. But that's why they're worried

750
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals. What are there dog off season acquisitions

751
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: veteran with like amazing players way past their prime who

752
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: have injury issues in AJ and JJ, but why did

753
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: they bring them there? Leadership? So what I worry about.

754
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: What can Arizona is Kansas City without leadership and in

755
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: that division that's fourth place. That's yeah, that's and by

756
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: the way, with Kansas City one more Honey Badger Tyron

757
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: Matthew amazing leader on that side of the ball. It's

758
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: like Mahomes and Andy and those guys have the offense

759
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: and Tyrant's got the defense you know by the way,

760
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: the Rams, Whitworth McVeigh less sneaed you really, I mean,

761
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: and then Seattle Jamal Adams's vocal Russell Bobby Wagner's vocal Pete.

762
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: So what I see Arizona is a talented team that

763
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: of all the teams in the division, I don't think

764
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: they have. I think they're searching for leadership and that's

765
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: why they went all in on JJ and AJ past

766
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: their prime. But they will galvanize their units if nothing else.

767
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw this bone to you as I watched

768
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: you a clip. Now, first of all, I don't play poker,

769
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: So watching you play poker and all you guys talk

770
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: in your lexicon and all your poker terms might as

771
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: well have been fucking Russian. I don't know anything. The

772
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: riverboat side eye shit means nothing to me. I don't

773
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: get any of it. But you you want a hand

774
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: on this, and I gotta be honest with you. There

775
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: are certain industries in America that they have a there's

776
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: a dark I wouldn't say there's a darkness to him,

777
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: a little gritty side and a mythology to him that

778
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm jealous I'm not involved in and when I watch

779
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: you play poker, have to be honest, I'm a little jealous.

780
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: Oh that makes me feel so good. It makes feel

781
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: so good because here's the thing people get. This is

782
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna sound weird, but it is safe space. I can

783
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: tell you this. Yeah, having other people jealous of you

784
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: is like a cool feeling. Right, you try not to

785
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: be jealous, but I'm gonna be jealous of you. So

786
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: what are the reasons people? Typically, if you were to say, oh,

787
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: I'm jealous of Nick, right, some people might say, oh,

788
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: he has an amazing job. Well, Colin has literally the

789
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: same job I have. Okay, so he's not gonna jealous

790
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: of you that I'm gonna say something that's really really

791
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean, inappropriate, but we're a getting reference here. Some

792
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: people might be like, oh, it's got a super hot life.

793
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: Well ask you if I may sing with perspective, So

794
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: that's not going to be jealous of that. Like oh

795
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: he makes good money, Well okay, yeah, so it's Colin,

796
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: So it's gonna jealous if oh wait, we found it.

797
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: I get to play poker with these guys and kind

798
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: to be on the inside and use the terms and

799
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: be at home and post the clips of it, and

800
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm all of a sudden like wearing totally different clothes

801
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: than people ever see me in sweat jackets from Burbery,

802
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 1: like just because that, like that's kind of a mind

803
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: game when you're playing poker, is to wear like the

804
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: super comfortable, obnoxiously expensive stuff like oh yeah, this money

805
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything when it means a lot, Like that's

806
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: a part of it. Yeah, that makes me feel so

807
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: happy that there's something you're jealous of. No, I literally

808
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: want so happy you and hell Youth play. And I

809
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: thought if I sat down at that table, I would

810
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: be like, go, fish, what do I say? I don't

811
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: even know what to say. I couldn't even I couldn't

812
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: even engage either of you in a single sentence. And

813
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: I sat there and I was like, I've got to

814
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: be honest, it's kind of cool. It's very insular. I

815
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like that with cryptocurrency, although I'm

816
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a big investor in that,

817
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: but I do find that poker and cryptocurrency it's a

818
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: very intellectual, very intense, Matthey industry. And by the way,

819
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: your instinct is dead on Colin because right now is

820
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: a great time for poker because so many poker players

821
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: were early on crypto and are now wealthier than they

822
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: ever thought they'd be. So there's a lot of extra

823
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: money in the game. So there's a lot of folks

824
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: like that were into bitcoin and ethereum and these NFTs early,

825
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: and now they were guys that were hundred thousand errors

826
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: or low millionaires who now have on paper, you know,

827
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. And so the poker games have gotten

828
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot better. It's kind of like the online poker boom,

829
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: Like the poker games have gotten a lot juicier as

830
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: of lately because of because there's a huge overlap between

831
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: people in the poker community and people in the crypto community. Now, Unfortunately,

832
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: I wasn't being in the crypto streets, which like now,

833
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: that's that you talk about jealousy. That's where I have

834
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: the foam old more than anything, because I see all

835
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: these doo faces who have now like thirteen million dollars

836
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: off a forty thousand dollars bitcoin investment in two twelve,

837
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: and I can't they can't get over it. But so

838
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, you know, it's great talking to you. Um,

839
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: we only talk about like this. We've only done about

840
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: one of these a month, but I'm always around. And

841
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, my favorite part of doing it with you,

842
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: I didn't look at a single question. My staff gives

843
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 1: me about eight questions. I didn't ask a single one,

844
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: not one. We'll do it more often, and you and

845
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: I and I'm real quick where we go America. There's

846
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: been not enough discussion about Trevor Lawrence and you, I

847
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: know are we're at least in college, in high school,

848
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: as high I'm Trevor Lawrences any I saw him in

849
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: high school. I saw him Rabbit high school. Yep. And

850
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 1: so I am much like I did with Luca before

851
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: he played an NBA game, I was like, that's my guy,

852
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: and I am going to even when he's not necessarily

853
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: involved in the conversation, I'm going to find a way

854
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: to bring him in so the audience associates me with him,

855
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: because I was so sure he's gonna be awesome. I

856
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: think there is sneakle I think there is a twenty

857
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: percent chance the Jags make the playoffs. Oh the power

858
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: of Trevor and your guy, Irvan, I really do. I

859
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: think that, Like now, you and I feel differently about

860
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 1: the cult Carson. If Carson Wentz get if Carson Wentz

861
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: get hurt, they're finished. They're screwed. I mean it's jacob Ees.

862
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: Well think about this, so they're screwed. Texans could be

863
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: the worst team in the league. And Tennessee just lost

864
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: a coordinator that saved Tannehill's career. And if anything with

865
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: Tennessee is and I hate to like put this out there,

866
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: but the history of guys with back to back years

867
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: of the workload Derrick Henry has had that in year

868
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: three something bad didn't happen to them, or they're production

869
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:35,760
Speaker 1: didn't plummet. It's really Earl Campbell, Jim Brown, Emmett Smith,

870
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson, and Batuelist like guys. Now, maybe he has

871
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: shown he is kind of that level of guys, so

872
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: maybe he'll be fine. But India is a quarterback injury

873
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: from a very injury prone quarterback away from being cooked.

874
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: The Texans are already cooked. The Titans. The loss of

875
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is massive. It's why I actually like the

876
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: Falcons this year to be the second best team in

877
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 1: the West, and they are. If something happens with Derrick Henry.

878
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you're asking could nine and eight

879
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: when the AFC South and coude with Urban. I like

880
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: the DJ Chuck, Marvin Jones, laviska chanal of three solid receivers.

881
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: James Robinson's a solid running back. I personally think the

882
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: Jags are going to be interesting, and it's gonna be

883
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: on the strength of like we've talked so much about

884
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and when will Trey Lance play And why

885
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: isn't Justin Fields playing and Mac Jones Trevor Lawrence, like, yeah,

886
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: I've always been better than all of them, just since

887
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: high school. It's been me. So I'm very interested in

888
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: the Jags this year. Really interesting. This was so much fun,

889
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: all right, Nick Wright, go have a great weekend, buddy.
