Yeah, Greg's on vacation, so 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: I guess we give him a pack, but it's like 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: he couldn't wait to get off the grid. You know, 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: you're read into that as you will. Um and I 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: tweeted as a joke yesterday that Greg was involved with 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots parade brawl, which is really funny to think about. Uh, 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: he was not New England. I don't believe. But West 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: is supposed to be here right now.

I mean, 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: did he make it back from Tybee and all? That's 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: that's what I'm wondering that I believe he did a 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: raging pro I don't know what else? What else do 33 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean? How many times have we heard over the 34 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: past two years we never start on time. That's our 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: record that we never started on time before. Well, where's us? 36 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: We're here? I just heard a knock at the door. 37 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: It looks like you've forgot his I d to what 38 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: we never started on time?

You know that we 51 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: were here this time starting with a new flavor. Do 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: you want to drop it? Because we've got tradition and 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: you're here? Hey, Dan, there is Welcome to the Thursday 54 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: edition of be Around the NFL Podcast. And um, you 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: know it's the Thursday after the Super Bowl. Ricky Hollywood 56 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: behind the glass, still in the afterglow of a another 57 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: Patriots title. Uh, you know, given a little distance, it 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: feels I still it feels weird to me that that's 59 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: how this season played out. That's how this season specifically ended. 60 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't like makes sense, like how there was so 61 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: much excitement this year, so many new things happening. You know, 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: whether it was Patrick Mahomes turning the league on its ear, 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: uh say, Quads going nuts, Baker Mayfield returning the Browns respectability, 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: scoring out of control, a double fifty Burger game, and 65 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: then it was almost like there was like some type 66 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: of power outage and they had to like flip the 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: breakers and go into safe restart like default mode. And 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: that led to another Patriots super Bowl run, which was 69 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: the opposite of everything else that was new and exciting. 70 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, but thing you know, it 71 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: would be new. Also, if Bill Belichick weren't the best 72 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: coach in football given enough time to prepare for someone 73 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: who's never been against someone who's never been there. The 74 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: two bye weeks west that I feel like they came 75 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: close the rest of the a f C to taking 76 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: the Pats out of the bye week um entering the playoffs. 77 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: But given the genius of Belichick, and that's undeniable, the 78 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: fact that he gets the bye week going into the 79 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: divisual playoffs and then the bye week going into the 80 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, when you have such an advantage that mad scientist, 81 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: that is a big part of it, isn't it. I 82 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: think that's that's his whole m o, Like, if I 83 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: can get to the n f C Championship game, then 84 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: I know, between my ability to game plan out, game 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: plan the opposing coaches and Brady's ability in the fourth quarter, 86 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: We've got like a certain percentage percentage advantage every game 87 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: over the opposition. How about this theory? Mark the first 88 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: two acts of the NFL season. Let's look at the 89 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: season like a movie. The first two acts were kind 90 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: of you know, hard stop, kind of exhilarating. You didn't 91 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: know what was gonna happen. And then the third act, everybody, 92 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, the turtle put his head in the shell. 93 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: It was like the Quiet Place of NFL seasons. I know, 94 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I know, shut up, I know you didn't. You didn't 95 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: like how the Quiet Place ended after a really great start. 96 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: How about that? Uh yeah, I mean that that And 97 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: again that's under the umbrella that we don't like the 98 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: way it ended, and I'm with you on that and 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: in some ways, like but I I will say one thing. 100 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: The one thing that felt new to me about the 101 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl was that I expected it to be a 102 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: continuation of what we'd seen where these super Bowls, like 103 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: especially the Eagles Patriots when last year got just got 104 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: totally out of hand with offense, and you could imagine 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: it happened and again, and we got a totally unexpected result. 106 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: Who who find me one so called expert, first of all, 107 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: find me one about anything but and one football expert 108 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: that predicted three points for the Rams. In that sense, 109 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: it was new. I could get the Patriots exhaustion with you, though, 110 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: is a leg shit real thing, not just do it 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Absolutely, And the way the 112 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: way that game, the way the game ended the thirteen 113 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: three the one thing we used to say all the times, 114 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: like at least I know you have Patriots exhaustion, Den, 115 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: but you're going to get a great game. Well I 116 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: didn't get that either this time, so please no more. 117 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: It's a sport that's notoriously hard to predict, and I 118 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: think this year was harder to predict than ever. And 119 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: that was the fallout from the roles changing over the 120 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: course of the season. The roles on what you could 121 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: do to a quarterback were different in September and early 122 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: October than they were late in the season. And I 123 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: think that, combined with defense, is catching onto all of 124 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: the pre snap motions and gadgets that the coaches were doing. 125 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: Maybe they gradually caught up over the course of the 126 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: seasons you were in TYPEE. If we were you did 127 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: not get to your one d drink over under over 128 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: at the super Bowl. But if we were to tack 129 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: on Tybee, are you over? Good question. I hadn't counted, 130 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: but I think it's awfully close. I would put myself 131 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: as slightly under. For like the twelve day venture, I 132 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: have to say I'm a little disappointed we don't at 133 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: the West Croak when the when the voice goes a 134 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: little bit, that's when you know West had an incredible 135 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Well, I approached this trip differently. You know, 136 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: in previous trips it's always like, oh, West is coming 137 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: into town everybody you know. Yeah, this was more like, 138 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: only tell a few people I wanted to live like 139 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: I used to live when I live there, where you're 140 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: at an actual islander instead of like a semi celebrity 141 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: coming in to drink with everyone, like you calling yourself 142 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: a semi celebrity. Well for the island, yeah, you know, 143 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: it's still it would be a big thing to be 144 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: a celebrity on an American island. There's no island that 145 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: I would roll into as a celebrity. So that is 146 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: an achievement. West. You take a lot of photos when 147 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: you're there. I did took a lot of photos hung 148 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: out in Huckapoo's kitchen. No autographs, all the good conversation, 149 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, all these stories where you just like do 150 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: a triple take and then gradually pull your seat closer 151 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: to be like, let me hear the rest of this. None. 152 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: What about where you like people ask you to sign 153 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: body parts? About any of that late in the night. 154 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: I've never in my life been asked to sign a 155 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: body part. You never signed a booby and not get 156 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: will over there in Tybee? Um, all right, that's great 157 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: and we'll be a Tybee in a few months. It's coming. 158 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: Do I have to bleep booby? I don't know, bird, 159 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: it's a physical body part. I think it's very Are 160 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: we still as a society like almost fifteen years or 161 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: moved from Janet Jackson? Now we can't even say booby? 162 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: Which direction are we going on this issue? Adam Mlvin's 163 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: got the nips out, double nips anyway? All right? So 164 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty three, yes in the books, Um, whether 165 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: you're happy with how it turned out or not, it's over. Uh, 166 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: today's show is going to be looking ahead to what 167 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: else is going on in the league. There are a 168 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: host of juicy offseason storylines, is there always are when 169 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: you start to take a more macro look at the 170 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: league post super Bowl. So we're gonna go through, um 171 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: some of them. Uh, and we're gonna west market myself. 172 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the ones we're kind of 173 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: looking for ward two tracking and the ones we wish 174 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: if we could just hit fast forward to the end, 175 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: to the conclusion, because you want to know how it 176 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: turns out, just so you can process it as a 177 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: football analyst, uh specialist. Sure, you need to know what happened. 178 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: But if you could just you know, go blank slate 179 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: and just there's a result, some supplots. I'd argue that 180 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: list for me would be longer than the former list. 181 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: That's true. Uh, So we're gonna do that. We'll check 182 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: in on our Super Bowl sandwich props. Uh, say goodbye 183 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: to some friends at the end, and then, uh, before 184 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: we do any of that, let's take a spin around 185 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: the league, do some news. This quarterback I'll tell you 186 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: how Beard he was, I'll tell you how Bart. He 187 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: was he and McVeigh well worse than Maroon five, And 188 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: that took some taken because what I'll say about Maroon 189 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: five when I was sitting there watching them is I 190 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: wish somebody would have marooned them, Okay, because they were 191 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: god awful. That's how you do radio. Well's your thoughts 192 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: on the New York media, Well, I was gonna say 193 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: we're in lockstep on this particular issue because I made 194 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: the same comparison on our recap show. Absolutely, look at you. 195 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: You should replace mad Dog. Oh my god, Wes and 196 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: frances So that is tremendous. All right, Uh, there you go. 197 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: So that's Mike frances A w f A n uh 198 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: borrowed that from back after this Twitter account, which is fun. Uh. 199 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Philadelphia Eagles, who um have a 200 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: no longer have a quarterback controversy. Two bits of quarterback news. 201 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: We'll start with Carson Wentz, who, uh there was that 202 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: report a week or so ago in which unnamed players 203 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: um kind of spoke out about how Wentz is a 204 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: little bit difficult to deal with that he's not maybe 205 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: um the all American perfect country boy quarterback that he's 206 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: been portrayed as and it makes life a little bit 207 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: more difficult behind scenes for the Eagles and West. This 208 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: surprised me because Whence spoke to a small group of 209 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: reporters at the Philadelphia practice facility and this via espn um. 210 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: I know who I am first of all. I know 211 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: how I carry myself. I know I'm not perfect. I 212 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: know I have flaws. So I'm not gonna sit here 213 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: and say it was inaccurate and completely made up. I'm 214 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: not going to do that. But at the end of 215 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: the day, I will say our locker room is really close. 216 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 1: If there were guys that had issues, in hindsight, I 217 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: wish we could have just talked about them. But again, 218 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: I don't know how that all happened and everything with that. 219 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: Whence quote created friction within the offense, he owns up 220 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: to some of that. Your thoughts was I fairly been 221 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: trying to get a read on this story where it 222 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: seems like when it turns out like when he was 223 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: coming into the league, we all knew he was a 224 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: very intelligent guy, and most intelligent people are strong minded, 225 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: and I think this is what's going on there. He 226 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: is a strong minded person who wants to do things 227 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: his way, and some of the veteran teammates don't think 228 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: maybe he's earned that that he should do more what 229 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: the coaches say and not what Carson Wentz says. So 230 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: I think that's the gist of it. And it's sort 231 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: of like a mixture that people complaining are receivers who 232 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: didn't get the ball because he was locked onto zach Ertz, 233 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: and seems to me some team leaders who just want 234 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz to start paying attention to the coaches more 235 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: and stop kind of like free versing and join his 236 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: own thing in the pocket. I think in some cases 237 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: it's a comparison to the leadership skills of Nick Foles, 238 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: which they've dealt with now for multiple games in the 239 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: biggest moments for most of these Eagles players, and nick 240 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: Foles by all accounts, you know, even in his press conferences, 241 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: every time he speaks, it's like Nick Foles really is 242 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: a refreshing character out and he is, but it's like 243 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: they speak in that page, well, well, but it is 244 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: just like it's like I think, you know, landscape wise, 245 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: nick Foles, that's his probably strongest trait and the reason 246 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: another team will take a chance on him. But where 247 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: does he get those leadership skills? It comes from failing 248 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: and overcoming failure and then exceeding, and it's a long 249 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: process and Wens had a chance to go through all that, 250 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: yet he's still a young guy. Totally feel that way. 251 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: And I think also I like what he said. I mean, 252 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: he's he If anyone were to come and critique me 253 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: and say, listen, I saw you do this or I 254 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: think this about you, say okay, but what the real 255 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: bad things about me that you don't know are so 256 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: much worse than what you just predicted about me. But 257 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, Wentz knows that he's got a ways to go. 258 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: And I think he's talking to himself. Called himself a 259 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: type A guy, and when you're a type A guy, 260 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: flaws come with that. It's also the mirror of some 261 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: of your strengths. So I have no problem. You can 262 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: look at every quarterback Marcus Mariota. Are we in love 263 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: with his personality that we see? I'm not. But it's 264 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: like maybe saying that he has a personality, which was right, 265 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: Like if there's an absence of one to me, which 266 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: I would want more in my quarterback. By the way, 267 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: I like Carson Wentz that he said this, it shows 268 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: self awareness all of us. We all have our flaws 269 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: and where we could rub people the wrong way. Ever 270 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: everybody does. And just his role as that QB one, 271 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: the head of that franchise. Not everyone's gonna love you 272 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: all the time. I'm rooting for Carson Wentz. I think 273 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: it's in a tough year for him. Remember that guy 274 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: was the m v P favorite when his knee blew 275 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: up uh in December of I want to see him 276 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: get back. Nick Foles, of course, is no longer in 277 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles plans. Um. The NFL network insider Ian Rapport 278 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: reported Saturday that the Eagles were expected to pick up 279 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen contract option for twenty million. They did, 280 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: but then Foles had the option to avoid that and 281 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: get out of the deal and become a free agent. 282 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: He did that, so he has to give back the 283 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: money hypothetically that he was given. I don't know if 284 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: there was ever a transaction. Well, it tells you that 285 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: he's in a different place than he was a year 286 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: ago when he was perfectly content to stay with the 287 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: Eagles and then maybe quarterback the first couple of the 288 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: games of the season, and it sounds like now he 289 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: just thinks, I know I'm one of the top quarterbacks 290 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL and I want to leave my own offense. 291 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: We will get more into Nick Foles a little bit later. 292 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: It was two billion dollars he had to turn over. 293 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: I'd like I like the idea of like it it's 294 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: in a suitcase, like in pulp fiction, that you open 295 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: it up into the gold light. Something magical is in there, 296 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: and there needs to be him and Howie Roseman. Maybe 297 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: in that Pocono's hideaway that he was banished to temporarily 298 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: under Chip Kelly. That's where they have to meet up. Yeah, 299 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of men walking around with 300 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: briefcases and suits back. So it's not like Big Lebowski. 301 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: Where's the dirty laundry, the white That's that's all right, 302 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: all right? Moving on, Yes, we have finally all of 303 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,479 Speaker 1: the new head coaches are in place. The Bengals announced 304 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: Monday that Rams quarterbacks coach Zack Taylor will be their 305 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: next head coach. Uh Taylor will finally finally be the 306 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: man that succeeds Marvin Lewis, fired in January after sixteen seasons. 307 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: Taylor spent two seasons under Sean McVeigh. Obviously, uh Mark 308 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: benefited from the McVeigh shine that has UH really helped 309 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: so many coaches in this league elevate their standing UH 310 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: just by being attached. So here it is a new 311 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: beginning for Cincinnati. But will things be any different? Well, 312 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: and I think they'll be very, very different in from 313 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: the way they look to us, because you've got a 314 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: completely different type of coaching staff here. Marvin Lewis had, 315 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: if anything else, extremely experienced people around him, and I 316 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: want to see how this goes. Zach Taylor has really 317 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: only called plays for a brief stint when the when 318 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: the Dolphins staff blew up and he was playing an 319 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: interim coordinator role and his OC and he's gonna call 320 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: plays there, but his o C has never called plays. 321 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: He's the son of Bill Callahan. Brian Collen has been 322 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: a QB coach, And you know, they went out and 323 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: tried to get Jack del Rio and Dom Capers to 324 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: join as the so called Wade Phillips experienced DC, and 325 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: both of them essentially turned the role down. We don't 326 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: know exactly how that went, but Dom Capers reported this morning, 327 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: are there a lot of coordinator jobs open at this stage. 328 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: If you turned out a job in early February, there 329 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: aren't a lot say about what's going on in sincidentatty 330 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: I've spoken to several Bengals fans over the past week 331 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: because I'm from there and there are a few who 332 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: lived on who live on Tybee. I would put their 333 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: reaction to this higher as sort of a mixture between 334 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: gallows humor and apathy. They're like, wait, we got the 335 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: guy who just called the plays and or who was 336 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: in charge of the quarterback and the super Bowl with 337 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: three points, one of the worst offensive showings of all time. 338 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: He's never called plays except at the University of Cincinnati 339 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: full time. Um, and your little state, you said, with Miami. 340 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: So it's sort of like everybody just expects that, Okay, 341 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis has finally gone, and they waited years for 342 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: that to happen, and now they bring in this guy 343 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: nobody's ever heard of, and they just kind of assumed 344 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: that the Bengals missed the boat on this. It's funny 345 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: how much the Super Bowl plays into the coaches that 346 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: come from the Super Bowl, because a year prior, you 347 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: had Frank Reich and you had John d Philippo who 348 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: was looked like the next big thing and the super 349 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: Bowl is so much to do with that, and Frank 350 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: Wick probably helps, He probably helped him get that job 351 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: post what had the meltdown in Indianapolis because of the 352 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl? And then Zach Taylor by by, you know, 353 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: by comparison looks a little bit like a suspicious high. 354 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: It's an interesting thought. So why so you're saying, I'm 355 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, you might be suggesting, what if you waited 356 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: until after the super Bowl to actually make the decision, 357 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: You have a couple more weeks worth of data to 358 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: to base. I mean, we're gonna talk about someone else 359 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: who looks great coming out of the super Bowl. Absolutely. 360 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: One one last note this posted on the Bengals Twitter account. 361 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: UM Zach Taylor comes up to Andy Dalton and says, 362 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: I've been following you since your days at TCU. I've 363 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: watched a ton of tape on you, sexy. Get that 364 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: Dalton tape out. Well, Marvin Lewis is an idiot. I'm 365 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna miss that, you know now. I feel like, now 366 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: that he's gone, I don't need to sit on that 367 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: opinion for much longer? Is it should we retire the 368 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: drop officially today, it feels like maybe this is the 369 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: time I'd be willing to. I think it's gotta be timely, 370 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not sure that he's an idiot 371 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. He's probably gonna replace like Al 372 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: river Ron or something. So maybe we should keep it 373 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: in the chamber just in case, but we could put 374 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: it in temporary. Let's keep it around ntil we have 375 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: more information. Yes, someone came out very well from the 376 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is Brian Flores, the Patriots defensive coordinator UM who, 377 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: along with Bill Belichick, cooked up a killer game plan 378 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: that shut down the Rams and the Super Bowl. And 379 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: a day later, What a week for this guy, He's 380 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: introduced as the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins. UH. 381 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: It was his first season as the de facto d 382 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: C for the Pats. UH and New England allowed less 383 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: than sixteen points a game in their final six games, 384 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: including all three playoff games. So it's the opposite. Talked 385 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: a little bit about this on the Sunday night Super 386 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Bowl Show, but since my voice stopped working, I don't 387 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: know if anybody actually understood what I was saying. But 388 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: last year, Matt Patricia gives up six hunder total yards 389 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and then the lines introduced him, 390 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: and you can imagine behind the scenes are like, uh, 391 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: the right decision. The Dolphins the totally opposite experience, who 392 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: now must think that they have the next Wizard West 393 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: on the sidelines to coach d I would say this 394 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: about the difference between Matt Patricia and Brian Flores, that 395 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: Matt pitt Beard that is obvious. Yes, he was always 396 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: the guy. Patricia was like the long term right hand 397 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: man to Belichick on defense, and that seemed to be 398 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: the reason why he was placed in this role where 399 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: he would get interviews. Brian Flores interviewed with people last 400 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: after last season and impressed the hell out of him 401 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: in those interviews. So he was a guy already talked about. 402 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: Is it's a matter of when not if, this guy's 403 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna get his own team because he's that impressive as 404 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: a leader of men. And then to go out and 405 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: do it in the Super Bowl, And I don't care 406 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: about parceling out the credit between him and Belichick. They 407 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: did it together and Belichick is busy during the game. 408 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: At some point Flora's is calling those plays. I think 409 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: He's earned it, and it's gonna be interesting to see 410 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: him bringing the wide receivers coach for the Patriots Chandos 411 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: Shay as the play caller on offense to see how 412 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: he does as well. DC is also running a ton 413 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: of meetings during the week and working individually with players 414 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: in a way that the head coach often isn't, so 415 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: his fingerprints are all over it. UH. In other Dolphins news, 416 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: UM Ryan Tannehill is a figure of mystery UH in Miami. 417 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: After years as the supposed franchise answer. UH, it is 418 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: now unclear where he will be in two thousand nineteen. 419 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: It's unlikely potentially be the Dolphins. That Miami's press conference 420 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: on Monday, UH Dolviins general manager Chris Greer told reporters 421 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: that while no decision has been made on Tannehill Jesse yet, 422 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: the Dolphins will definitely consider selecting a quarterback in this 423 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: year's draft. How high in the draft is not clear. 424 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: Here's what Greer had to say. We haven't gone through 425 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: the process of getting to learn the guys yet. There 426 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: are a lot of good prospects. We spent some time 427 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: with the Senior Bowl and other quarterbacks that weren't there 428 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: that people were talking about as well. We may get 429 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: through the process and fall in love with a couple 430 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: of guys. Last year, we like two guys a lot, 431 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: and they have both had good success this year. That 432 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: was believed to be Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen. It 433 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: could be that point where we may say, hey, we 434 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: feel this is the guy. Um it certainly sounds like 435 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: and we're hearing out there west that again. It seems 436 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: like it happens every year. Now it could be as 437 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: many as four quarterbacks going in the first round. Uh. 438 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: It seems like the Dolphins are ready to pounce on 439 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: one of these young qbs. All of the reports out 440 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: of Miami, including one report from a reporter who has 441 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: been known to have ties to the Dolphins owner, suggest 442 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: they fully intend to move on with from Ryan Tannehill 443 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: because he has a cap number that's over twenty million 444 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: and they don't think he's worth that right now. There 445 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: it's there's Armando Selgaro from the Miami Herald, who has 446 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: you know, he goes out of his way to take 447 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: care of the Dolphins when they are not up to snuff, 448 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: and he's that's the one with the ties Yeah, he's 449 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: he's he's some one of the guys I trust, and 450 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: he basically wrote this piece that I thought it was 451 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: pretty interesting. He thought that the Dolphins were setting the 452 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: table too, in his words, doing an organic tanking, not 453 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: like throw games, but like they are not they've been 454 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: big guys in free agency that they're going to go 455 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: the exact open organic tanking that that phrases on my radar. Well, 456 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: that's fine, but they're they're gonna dump Tannehill. They're not 457 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna go after foals, they're not gonna go after ted 458 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: A Bridgewater, and they're basically in theory, if it's not 459 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 1: this year's draft class, they're trying to get the best 460 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: quarterback in next year. Organic is like lipstick on a pig. 461 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: Organic tanking. No, that's just tanking, bro, It's called rebuilding. 462 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: Like if that's a that's a nice word to use. 463 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: But if you decide to let go your moder you're 464 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, efficient to okay quarterback, not go get anybody else, 465 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: and not sign anybody in free agency that can improve 466 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: the team, there's nothing organic about. It's just you're deciding 467 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: to try to go three and thirteen. Well, the only 468 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: thing I would say that. I would say more teams, 469 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: more teams should do this, because I will never be 470 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: happier about anything than that owned sixteen season that kept 471 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: the Browns with the locked in at the number one pick. 472 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: In Baker Mayfield verse, you win two or three stupid 473 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: games at the end of year and you're taking a 474 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: defensive tackle while everyone tell else takes the quarterball. I 475 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: agree with that, but it's just the term. Would you 476 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: rather have somebody say organic tanking or have Todd Bowls 477 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: lie to you when you're obviously rebuilding and say we're 478 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: not building. I well, we are of different minds of that. 479 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: I think Todd Bowles was trying to win games. I 480 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: think uh ownership and the front office were on a 481 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: different page, but than the coach who was trying to 482 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: save his job. I still believe that, but they must. 483 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: They had to tell Bryan Flores then this is the plan, 484 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: like you're you're you're good this year. You're not gonna 485 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: be one and done when it's one and done. And 486 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: that's the difference between Bowls and Florida's Bowls. Was in 487 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: the middle of that that whole mess, Floras gets to 488 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: coming on the ground floor that's a fair, fair comparison, 489 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: all right, fair breakdown. In other news, the Raiders what 490 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: a mess um in terms of their playing situation. They 491 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: won't be moving to Vegas until at least and they 492 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: have an issue because things have really fallen apart in 493 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Oakland at I always struggle with the name of that statement. 494 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: Oakland Alameda, Alameda, Alameda County. Yes stadium, anyone that lives 495 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: in Alameda County apologies. Anyway, things are going well, uh 496 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: with the Raiders and that facility. Uh. And one option 497 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: that popped up where with the Raiders play in twenty 498 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: nineteen was the home of the San Francisco Giants at 499 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: Beautiful Ballpark now called Oracle Park. That's gross west the 500 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: pack Bell, right, which was a great name. What's wrong 501 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: with Oracle? That sounds sort of I know, but I 502 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: hate when stadiums that, especially ones that are well known 503 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: like the popular stadiums, changed their name, and it's like, 504 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: what the hell is an Oracle Park? Do not be 505 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: smirched the name Oracle in front of a great soothsayer 506 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: like Mark Well, I could just think of a lot worse. 507 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a couple that are just like that, 508 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: doesn't that do not roll off the time. Now, say 509 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: what you will about my love of New York Yankees, 510 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: but they have left billions on the table their Yankee stadium. 511 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: They're not going to change that. These stadium names. What's 512 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: up with that? Corporations? Says man earning paycheck from NFL. Well, 513 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: Yankees have a little bit more money than some of 514 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: these other baseball teams, if you want to get into that. 515 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: Just a tan. They do very well financially anyway. So 516 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: the Niners are not going to be playing though at 517 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Oracle Park. Rap Sheet report it um the Niners who 518 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: are involved in this mess are not expected to waive 519 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: their territorial rights for the Raiders. UM, and it leads 520 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: to more kind of indecision here. The team will likely 521 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: play in Oakland at Alameda County or at levi Stadium 522 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: where the where the Niners play. UM. So this situation UM, 523 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: which is really grim up there. There's all the just 524 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 1: in decision and it can't be fun as a Raiders 525 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: fan or anybody connected to the franchise. Just uncomfortable. I'd 526 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: say it's going to Levi's Stadium. But I still always 527 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: feel with the Raiders because if this were happening like 528 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh or Green Bay, where it's like we're leaving, 529 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: but we're gonna hang around Green Bay for the next 530 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: two years. The Raiders fans feel to me and come 531 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: up with another that they're the one fan base that 532 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: seems sort of like completely unaffected by this, where they 533 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: still sell out games and last year was an absolute 534 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: abyss and a terrible watch from wire to wire, and 535 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna they're gonna do the same in Vegas. 536 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: It's like you go to a sports bar in l 537 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: a And there's more Raiders fans than Rams fans. These 538 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: are the lost years for the Raiders. I mean, next 539 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: year is gonna be miserable. They have a horrible team 540 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: and now they don't even know where they're gonna play. 541 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: This is like, just get us to Las Vegas already. 542 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why you sign, you know, Gruden to tenure contract, 543 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: because it's got to be this all in mentality. Yeah maybe, 544 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: And I'm ignorant, but I'm just guessing the reason the 545 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: Niners would block playing at the Giants facility but host 546 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: in their own building is just the revenue that would 547 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: come from those home games. Just I guess otherwise why 548 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: would they block that. It's also a weird look because 549 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: you were the team that played in Candlestick Park for 550 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: so long and now you'd be your you know, Levi Stadium. 551 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: We know from that Super Bowl trip is not exactly 552 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: like one stop away from North Beach in San Francisco. 553 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: Nice to make up for your lack of Bay Area geography. 554 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: That shows that you really get the region when you 555 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: mentioned North Bay, North Beach and there a few times. 556 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: The Falcons are making some moves. UH. They made their 557 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: run to the Super Bowl ended tragically. UH could not 558 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: get back to the Big Game in the past two years, 559 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: and now there's changes coming to the rosters. Some guys 560 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: that have been around for a long time. We'll start 561 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: with cornerback Robert Alfred, the thirty year old defender is 562 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: being let go. Mike Garifolo reported um uh he was 563 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: due eight and a half million in twenty nineteen. That 564 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: saves the Falcons was eight million in cap space. UH. 565 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: The Falcons in an era or in his season where 566 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: so many teams are flushed with cash and the salary 567 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: cap keeps going up, they are in in trouble on 568 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: the salary cap. They have UH. Projected just about fourteen millions, 569 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: so they need to free up some space and to 570 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: do that they will also say goodbye to Matt Bryant, 571 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: the forever kicker Um and Brooks read the defensive end 572 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: pass rush. Brooks Read also being let go Matt Ryan, 573 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: who is wants to play and and and play an 574 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: eight teamh season, but after ten years, the Falcons are 575 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: saying goodbye to him as well. Uh, that's aves almost 576 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: three million against the cap. So the Falcons, it looks 577 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: like west Um after what was really a disappointing year, 578 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: they want to make some changes to their roster and 579 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: they have to get creative because they don't have a 580 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: lot of money to do it. These are these are 581 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: the kind of guys that get caught in the analytics 582 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: movement where it the NFL says, we don't pay our 583 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: middle class so veterans who are you know, borderline progress stoppers, 584 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: which all of these guys are. We can get a 585 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: young player to approximate their production and pay them a 586 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: lot less money, and that will allow us to go 587 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: out and buy free agents, make trades, or at least 588 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: have the um the leeway to do that. One note 589 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: on Robert Alfred. He's the one who met with us 590 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: after the Falcons beat the Rams in that playoff game, 591 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: and he was on the up and up, very healthy, 592 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: a lot of good seasons with the Falcons, and since 593 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: speaking with us last year, he went out and out 594 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: of thirty two players on the Falcons defense rated by 595 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, was ranked. So my takeaway is for 596 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: all the players that spoke with us at Super Bowl Week, 597 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: prepare yourself for what might be a down here, because 598 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: I would blame us for that. We also talked to 599 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: Robert Woods at the l A Calcium after the divisional playoffs, 600 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: and uh, let's be honest, he didn't have a huge 601 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, had the best year of his career. He 602 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: did until until and then it's from here on out. 603 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: We're not allowed to say this. I don't even know 604 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: if I should say this, but it's so annoying to 605 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: me that I'm not. I can't keep it inside. A 606 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: star player in the NFL uh declined or got out 607 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: of a scheduled interview with the Around the NFL podcast 608 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, citing and overwhelming nature of too 609 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: many of us and only one of him. Now did that? Man? 610 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: You know I can't say I respect much anymore. He 611 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: was you know, did that individual that football player? No 612 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: the curse? If he did, I suddenly give him a 613 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: lot of credit. Yeah, that's great. Now I can't get missed. 614 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: You know. He actually didn't cancel the interview. He said 615 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: he didn't want to speak to any of us, but 616 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: he would speak to some one else who he recognized 617 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: from television. We can't say anything else. Well, are we 618 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: in the clear arc? As long as we're not, we 619 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: don't get too specific. I don't even know who it is, 620 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: but I have a good guess after the way you 621 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: described it. All right, that's what's happening, uh in the news? 622 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: Do you have any more of a Fred says, I 623 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: would love to hear just a little bit more Mike 624 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: on the topic. They and everybody around me, including the 625 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: women around me, were waiting for the halftime show, said, 626 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: oh was that terrible? Nobody liked it. Gladys night, big Ovation. 627 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: The girls before them who sang the American beautiful big 628 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: Ovation ruined five keep your shirt on and keep your 629 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: day job. That he was that was that was terrible? 630 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that wasn't bad. All right, here we go, Um, 631 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: did you like the halftime show, Erica, what did you 632 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: think of it? It was okay and it wasn't justin Timberlake. 633 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: My one thing is it's you know what you you 634 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: know of them, like what Maroon five is. They gave 635 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: you exactly what they are, so higher soon else to 636 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: do it? Like? Were they different than how Maroon five 637 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: normally is the same? They did their job on Saturday night. 638 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: I saw food fighters the Direct TV party. They have 639 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: a ton of respect in the industry. Everybody loves like 640 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: their brand of rock. They'd be perfect halftime show. But 641 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, It's just it seems like there's not 642 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: enough communication. Speaking of justin timber Lake, Ricky, you came 643 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: on the Throwback podcast that just went live today Thursday 644 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: where we broke down the seminal two thousand six album 645 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: Future Sex, Love Sounds with Bob and myself.

Actually, I was doing sober January. 648 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: It was the worst mistake I've ever made in my life. 649 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: Not only do you not drink liquor, and you know, 650 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: the old juser had a few vocas, had a couple 651 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: of pops um, we got some Fiji water. We got 652 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: our fancy water. She declined that too. It was almost 653 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: We had them all set up on his bar. It 654 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: looked very pretty and he was like, look, I got 655 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: this Fiji water. And I was like, damn, like your 656 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: little mini bar looks so cute with these Fiji waters. 657 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: Like leave that for you. That's so nice. And I said, 658 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: if you really want me to drink it, will drink it. 659 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: But I just figured for the next girl you like 660 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: lock in the garage, she might need the Fiji You know, 661 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: by the way, next time you're on the show, Aquafina 662 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: for you all right, here we go off season. Storyline 663 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: is worth tracking and one's the fast forward. This is fun. 664 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: So Mark, yes, you are a type of man when 665 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: it comes to the NFL. If you could fast forward 666 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things, you would, but let's start off 667 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: with one that you would not. Something you like and 668 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: you're into. I would not fast forward the every year 669 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: you get that surprise trade that kind of blows people away. 670 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: And even in our news from sometimes when the the 671 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: people across the room get the first wire train transmission 672 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: and it starts to spread and spread, and where we 673 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: find out what it is and everyone's chattering. Then there's 674 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: always the guy who ten minutes later like, oh my god, 675 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: did you do? It's like an idiot, bro, We all 676 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: know we're in a newsroom, you fool. I think it's 677 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: gonna be had to guess. I have this feeling that 678 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: Derek Carr is going to be shipped out of town 679 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: in a trade because there are even though what you 680 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: can sider, all these like quarterbacks out there that people 681 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: can chase after I could see someone buying in a 682 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: car in a different way than say Joe Flacco age 683 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: wise and stuff, and making a compelling argument in their 684 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: own organization to wheel and deal with the Raiders, who 685 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: I still feel like are looking to cut deeper on 686 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: their roster organically, and then they have the number four pick. 687 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: You can get what there are I think legitimately three 688 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks out there that could go high, and if they 689 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: got if you had grew little. I think if Bruden 690 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: fell into one of these, it fell for one of 691 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: these guys, then I I don't know. Maybe Derek Carr 692 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: and Gruden got along much better than we realized. Some 693 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: people there are recent reports said that you don't realize 694 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: how well that they worked together. That's fine. That feels 695 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: very February is to me. But we'll find out some 696 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: surprise trade. I felt like he improved throughout the season 697 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: with John Gruden and by the end of the season, 698 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: John Gruden was raving about him. Um, so it'll be 699 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: interesting to see, like how much of that early season, 700 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, speculation that he's out of there versus the 701 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: late season kind of mending offenses which one wins out 702 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Just as a reminder, have the fourth overall 703 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: pick mentioned that, but it's good to refresh that knowledge 704 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: for the Yeah, just in case you missed it, they 705 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: picked fourth overall. Cardinals one nine Ers, two Jets, three Raiders, 706 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: four Bucks five. Um. Who in that group needs a quarterback? 707 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: Nobody before the Raiders. But I do think there is 708 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: ripe trade up scenarios. Go absolutely could see that happening. 709 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, to your point, where does car end up? 710 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: That's fun to track. Where does um uh? Where do 711 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: the potential trades happen in the draft teams that are 712 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: desperate to move up, that's always fun. I'll throw one 713 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: out there because it's another quarterback. Nick Foles is free agency. 714 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: I am I'm really fascinated to see what kind of 715 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: market this dude ends up commanding, because there are two 716 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: ends of the spectrum the way I see it, reading 717 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: the tea leaves of uh, you know where we're at 718 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: in free agency coming off two thousand eighteen. Is he 719 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: gonna be case more case Keenum or more Kirk Cousins 720 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: And a case can be made that he'll probably end 721 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: up somewhere right in the middle, I think, But would 722 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: it would be crazy because there's so many teams that 723 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: need a quarterback, teams like the Dolphins, that Broncos, the Raiders, 724 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: the Redskins, all those types of teams, and then a 725 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: mystery team that has fallen in love with what they 726 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: saw from Nick Foles in the playoffs the last two 727 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: years that could drive up the market. Could Nick Foles 728 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: end up getting Kirk Cousins money, which is as we know, 729 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: um kind of blanking on it. Now, what was it 730 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: three years for this like nine million guaranteed million, all guaranteed? 731 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: I call it too much good? Nick Foles end up 732 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: commanding something in that realm, and what teams are going 733 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: to go hard from. I know everyone is connecting him 734 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: to the Jaguars right now, and that makes a ton 735 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: of sense, obviously, but don't be surprised if he ends 736 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: up going somewhere a where not everyone kind of expects, 737 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: and that will be fun to watch. What do you 738 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: guys think about folds in his market and who could 739 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: be the leader in the clubhouse. I do think he's 740 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: gonna get closer to Cousins money than case Keenum. I 741 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: think that what a gamble that would be. He proved 742 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: it two years in a row, um and I think 743 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: when you hear the way his coaches and teammates speak 744 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: about him, I no longer think of a think of 745 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: him as a guy who's a product of their system 746 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: like I did a year ago. I think of him 747 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: now as a field general, a guy who can go 748 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 1: to wherever they have talent and win. So I could 749 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 1: see him going to like Jacksonville and winning. I mean 750 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport men last month and he thought it was 751 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: a very real possibility that the Eagles still go the 752 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: route of franchising him so they can direct where he 753 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: goes and working within two because if you lose him 754 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: in free agency, it sounds like next year's draft you'd 755 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: get like about a third round compensatory pick. So you 756 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to trade him for anything lower than that, 757 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: but you can also make sure. And there's two NFC 758 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: East teams which need a quarterback, and you want to 759 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: keep him out of your division, And everyone sort of says, well, 760 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: why are we assuming Jacksonville. It's hard. There aren't that 761 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: many teams that need a quarterback. It's not like years 762 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: past where they're like ten teams reshuffling under center. Jacksonville 763 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: makes a lot of de Filippo's there too, I mean, 764 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: assuming they have a good relationship, there's just a need 765 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: there that he would fit. It's funny too, like when 766 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: you mentioned that there are less teams that seem to 767 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 1: be on the hunt, just the fact for the first 768 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: time in decades, you kind of take the Jets and 769 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: Browns out of it, who are always Oh, you could 770 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: have those teams in there, they're always gonna be looking 771 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: for a quarterback, and then New Pepper in five or 772 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: six others. Let's really a smaller group uh this year. Um, 773 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: So we'll see where Nick falls ends up. I'm looking 774 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: forward to tracking that West. What are you looking forward 775 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: to tracking? Well? I was gonna say, what do the 776 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: Jaguars do at quarterback. But we already covered that, so 777 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: I will say headlock. Watch how the New York media 778 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: handles the inevitable clashing between Adam Gaze and Greg Williams. 779 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: One of them is going to have the other in 780 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 1: a headlock at some point. That that is true. Wait, 781 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: so but you're looking forward to that. I think you 782 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,439 Speaker 1: don't like this. One's delicious. One is delicious, and I'm 783 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for did you hear that? There's already dramas there? 784 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: We already got something cooking. Greg Williams has a son. 785 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: I think he was in Hard Knocks. I think we 786 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: saw him. He was calling the place for the Browns 787 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 1: defense at the end of the Blake Williams, I believe Blake. 788 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: Apparently when Greg got hired by the Jets, uh, he said, 789 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: I want to bring on my son onto the staff. 790 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 1: The Jets hesitated on it because apparent Blake rubbed some 791 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: people the wrong way. I wonder where we can learn 792 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: such a thing, and that led to Greg being like, yo, 793 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: come bro, let me put my son on the team. 794 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: He's my coach that has the most potential that I've 795 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: ever has ever been on my staff. And the Jets 796 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: eventually relented and they're like, all right, you could put 797 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: Blake on the team. But already this was according to 798 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: Rich Tomini of ESPN, there was a little bit of 799 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: heat between the Jets and Greg Williams. Uh and Uh. Yes, 800 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze, who apparently doesn't take guff behind the scenes. 801 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 1: Imagine if Blake and Greg start acting up, Greg with 802 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: three gs and then Gaze and he's got those eyes 803 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: fire and he's he's all angry. Yes, there could be 804 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: a steel chair involved, steel chairs, headlocks, there could be 805 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: a suplex off the second turn knuckle. Uh. I am 806 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 1: obviously concerned about the potential for um the circus coming 807 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: to town. There's no way as a Jets fan, your 808 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: your heads in the sand if you don't think that 809 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: this potentially could be risky. But again, as the rarest 810 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: of Jets fans, the optimistic one, I kind of like 811 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: Gaze that Greg Williams thing. I understand it could be 812 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: a volcanic and I'm concerned as you should be. Um, 813 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: all right, how about one we want to fast forward? Mark, Well, 814 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: for me the obvious, let me give you two quick ones, 815 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: because one is anything to do with the Browns over hype. 816 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: I just want to get to September, because I would 817 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: just say it's not it's an uncomfortable place where they're 818 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: probably gonna get too many primetime games. And to me, 819 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: they were a team that were eighth and turnover differential 820 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: positively last year and I don't see that continuing. And 821 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: I just think you have to be patient that maybe 822 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: not everything is suddenly perfect and we have Tom Brady 823 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: specifics here. What are you not looking forward to? What 824 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to? Actually, every time you turn 825 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: on like the draft coverage is like, well, the Browns 826 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: did a really nice job last year. How are they 827 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: going to follow up this year? And they've got obviously 828 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: their quarterback for the future. Is too much pretty talk, 829 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: and I start to get paranoid at something Brown. I 830 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: meant that I thought you're talking to the Steelers, know 831 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: the Browns. The brown Yeah, that was my first one. 832 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: That the second one is anything to do with the 833 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: Steelers at all, because we I cannot believe we are 834 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: junior Steelers at the beginning of us or am I 835 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: going crazy? Did you start by talking about the Steelers? 836 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just another small bit of proof that 837 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: Dan is not listening to anything I'm saying at all. 838 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: You know, Charlie Brown with the parents talks like want, 839 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: w want Walt Well, dam is fully expecting you to say, 840 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: I did not want to hear anything about Antonio Brown. 841 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about Levy On That is 842 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: That is my other strong feeling, because I just for me, 843 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: I get the Antonio Brown thing, but it's already excessively 844 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: tiresome because we just we don't need we don't need 845 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: to know. Figure out what you're gonna do, and do 846 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,320 Speaker 1: it and if it's gonna be another team, make it happen. 847 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: I don't need five weeks of speculation every time anyone 848 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: talks about it. Bang, it's news. But levy On Bell 849 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: the the amount of coverage we're going to spend on 850 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: a player who willingly did not play a snap of 851 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: football last year, I don't need that at all, don't 852 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: need it. I think he's obviously gonna get paid a 853 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: ton of money. People are saying, you get Todd Gurley money. 854 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,439 Speaker 1: I know my Jets are potentially involved. I'm nervous about 855 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: Levan Bell uh taking a year off and maybe not 856 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: being quite as explosive as he was the last time 857 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: we saw him when he was with the Steelers. Is 858 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: he can all of a sudden step back in and 859 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: be the twenty four year old lady on Bell. We 860 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: remember the Antonio Brown thing. I do disagree with you. 861 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: He's a little bit unsufferable, uh Brown with the Shenanigans. 862 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: He's not my favorite player in the league. But one 863 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: thing that's undeniable the past six yearies that six years, 864 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 1: he's averaged a hundred and fourteen catches, twenty yards eleven 865 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,280 Speaker 1: t d s every year average over the last six years, 866 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: and you could you can argue s that this is 867 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: the most impactful free agent to hit the market if 868 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: that ends up happening, whether it's through trade or through 869 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 1: free agency, since Peyton Manning like he is that special 870 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,879 Speaker 1: and he's still in his prime. So to me, that's 871 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: that would be exciting to watch because wherever he goes, 872 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: he transforms the offense. I could not, I mean disagree 873 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: with that at all. Of course, he would be the 874 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: number one impact player changing teams. It's more my where 875 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: I get into it is I don't need any of 876 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: this hamlet routine from the Steelers. That's where not like 877 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: we already saw it with Big Ben However, many years ago, 878 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: when when he was supposedly gone and they were getting 879 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: rid of him, and then he's right back where he was, Like, 880 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: you don't need another rooney Magazine interview where he waxes 881 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,760 Speaker 1: on whether they can make it work as a family. 882 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't mess with the Rooney's. They are 883 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: class acts. They run a great operation. I just don't 884 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: want to hear about their Hamlet thing going on. I 885 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: got you. I like that the Hamlet thing, Willie weroning Son. 886 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 1: The first part that I was talking about was the 887 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: Browns and the second part was about the Pits, And 888 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 1: I apologize, I just step on it. And to your 889 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: Brown's commentary, I get why you would feel that way, 890 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: because everyone and their brother is going to pick the 891 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: Browns to win the a f C North. It's just impossible. 892 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: It's unavoidable. And for the first time, mark in your 893 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: fandom in like twenty years or maybe more, quite frankly, 894 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,319 Speaker 1: maybe thirty five years, um, they're gonna be seen as 895 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: a favorite in their division, which seems a little crazy, 896 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 1: but I get the optimism. How you do them, By 897 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: the way, Baker Mayfield canceling on us on our NFL 898 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: Dot com Super Bowl show that kind of over everything 899 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: that happened at the super Bowl. At this point, we 900 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,240 Speaker 1: I think we talked about this, but literally two minutes 901 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: before we were about to be live with Baker Mayfield Mayfield, 902 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: we found out he wasn't going to join us, and 903 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: I saw the light go out in Mark's eyes. Yeah, 904 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: with the bigger issue. I had to examine this, like 905 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: my more um irritant. The bigger irritant there was that 906 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: I didn't get like that selfie with him that would 907 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: have like been a huge part of my behind the 908 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: scenes you know, on the interviews. Fine, there was even 909 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: talked to the point where he would be stage left 910 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 1: or stage right. How would Mark maneuver with his mic 911 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: and his ear set up to get to Baker and 912 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: you have like this is for the first time we 913 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: got a little bit of like good you know, real 914 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: um talent treatment. I thought it's super Bowl this year, 915 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 1: where if we had an issue, there would be like 916 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: to too many people like joining the conversation to see 917 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: how can we help. Like when I came down with 918 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 1: the cold, two people came up to me and all 919 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I had like two vials of medications 920 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,919 Speaker 1: sent to my hotel. But one girls like you must 921 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: be taking Elderberry. She she's also correct. And then and 922 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: then with Mark, Mark was like, I hope I get 923 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: a selfie Baker And they're like three people surged over 924 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: and started like drawing up like a blueprint about how 925 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: we can make it work on this. They all, you know, 926 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: one one thing about they like, you have your ranking 927 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: of people you work with. They all shot up my 928 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: rankings each with each attempt to help. They're like, they 929 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,439 Speaker 1: are shooting into my top ten, my top five, they're 930 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: now my one two three loved they were taking me. 931 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: Dan and Gregg. Oh, I mean you guys couldn't care 932 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 1: less for that happen. They were like, we're going to 933 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: make this happen. Uh. David Singer was a huge about 934 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: a good guy. David Singers, all right, I want to 935 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 1: fast forward gronks retirement decision. And uh, it's not just 936 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: because I don't like the Patriots. It's it's more that 937 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: like Gronk, let's face it, he doesn't know what nine 938 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 1: times seven is, but he has a team that is 939 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: very savvy. They run the Gronk brand like it's a fortune. 940 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: So whatever this decision will be whether Gronk returns for 941 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,919 Speaker 1: his age thirty season or not, it will be done 942 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: with maximum leverage in mind, maximum marketability. Whether it's a 943 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: primetime special or an appearance on SNL or this or 944 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: that or a slim jim Ad campaign, there's gonna be 945 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 1: a whole circus around it, I think either way, and 946 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: it's probably a player's tribute essay. I imagine that will 947 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 1: be in the fix some essay, some most grand intern 948 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,280 Speaker 1: that's on the Gronk staff le right, and of course, 949 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: but one thing I do know also is that whatever 950 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: it happens, whether he retires and frees up cap space 951 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: uh and the Patriots make a move, or he stays 952 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: with the team and his body ends up being as 953 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: healthy as ever, it's gonna work out perfectly for the Patriots. 954 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,919 Speaker 1: Just tell me what it's gonna be back or not back, 955 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: and spare me all the the hamlet routine. You don't 956 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:12,399 Speaker 1: need to procession in the ribbons and and every off 957 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 1: season any anything else was you got one I do? 958 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: I really racked my brain on what exactly would be 959 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: the height of like me getting so angry that I 960 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: throw throw my hat across the room and then send 961 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: off like an angry message on our text chain. And 962 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: here it is, how are Aaron Rodgers and Matt la 963 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: Flour getting a law? Has Matt Laflour earned Aaron Rodgers trust? 964 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: And the corollary is Bruce Arian's gonna unlock Jamis Winston's talent? Like, 965 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: how is that relationship going? No? When the games start, 966 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 1: then we'll know. I don't want to hear any of this. 967 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: You're not a psychiatrist, you're the reporters. You're not an 968 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: expert on the relationship. I don't want to hear any 969 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 1: of it until September and October. I mean you would 970 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: have to kidnap roughly for hundred to five hundred beat 971 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: writers and television people to silence that those two tedious 972 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: media war cries. Let's see when the game's happen, how 973 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 1: the relationship is going. It's every year there's always some 974 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: new coordinator slash coach and some quarterback that's never reached 975 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: his potential, and it becomes very sturdy the headline. I'm 976 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: thinking back to Chicago a few years ago with Adam 977 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: Gaze and Jay Cutler. You could go through the years. 978 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: There's always gonna be that one subplot and this year 979 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 1: we're we got a couple. Yeah, Like you can't possibly 980 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 1: know the answer, so why even try to speculate, um 981 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: anybody else? I'm good. I don't need, by the way, 982 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't need the Giants plan of attack with Eli 983 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: thing either, Right, I can tell you exactly what's gonna happen. 984 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: They're not gonna go get one of these guys on 985 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: the market because they're probably gonna be around the same 986 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 1: as what Eli would give them at the stage, and 987 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: they're probably not gonna take a first round pick for 988 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback, so they'll probably take a second or third rounder. 989 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 1: If Elie bombs, they'll put in the second or third rounder, 990 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,720 Speaker 1: and when he doesn't quite come around immediately, if he doesn't, 991 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: they'll organically tank and uh probably end up with that 992 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: Clemson kid. I can totally see it, because like the Patriots, 993 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 1: everything seems these teams that are in my orbit as 994 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: a human being, the Patriots and the Giants, these are 995 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 1: the teams where things tend to work out. Uh, We'll 996 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: watch the Clemson kid be on the Giants and two 997 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: years I got another one. Ye all right, cowboys, we 998 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: don't need your hamlet routine, which shan Lee like we 999 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: got with des Bryant last year. Either cut him or don't. Yeah, 1000 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm totally with you on that, Sean Lee. With the 1001 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: the the writings on the wall, we know he's not 1002 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: the future. What don't you send him free? We'll just 1003 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: do it right now. If you love him, said, we're 1004 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna do the designate him a post June first. No, 1005 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,760 Speaker 1: just get rid of the only positive. The only positive 1006 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: is that, no matter how annoying that got, it could 1007 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,760 Speaker 1: never possibly be more annoying than how whole des Briant 1008 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: thing went down. Okay, we'll see you. And I feel 1009 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: bad for Des and he was one of my favorite 1010 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,800 Speaker 1: players in his prime. The constant does injury updates. Who's 1011 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: going to give him a chance to sign? I don't 1012 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,440 Speaker 1: necessarily need that, but I do like that. So that 1013 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,280 Speaker 1: was just a connected to spare me the Hamlet routine. 1014 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: All right, that's it, good talk. Let's say the Santa 1015 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: Property property Captain till Gregg gets back. Let's welcome to 1016 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 1: the studio here.

And uh so, you know, obviously 1034 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: always looking for an opportunity to continue to develop and 1035 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: grow and all those catch you know, all those buzzwords 1036 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 1: and catch phrases and everything else. But you know, sincerely 1037 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: and uh came across this opening and you know, kind 1038 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: of pursued it and interviewed and and was off for 1039 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 1: the job and happily accepted. Uh, you know, it's it's 1040 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: my it's my team. I grew up rooting for and 1041 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 1: as you guys know, through me and Mark's painful segments 1042 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: last year and that's painful segments this year, have struggled 1043 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: with for years, and um, it's a perfect situation, I think, 1044 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: in a great fit. Uh. It was a staff writer 1045 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 1: opening I'll be doing. I'll be a digital content coordinator, 1046 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 1: which is more than just a staff writer, and uh 1047 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 1: so I'll be get my hands in a little bit 1048 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 1: of everything, but also covering the team in a day 1049 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: to day basis, working from inside the facility for the 1050 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: team for Cleveland Browns dot com. Uh doing you know, radio, podcasting, 1051 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,399 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. That's also I was writing. 1052 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 1: And it'll be a lot of fun. West. Do you 1053 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 1: think this settles the debate internally about who is the 1054 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 1: bigger Browns fan? Shook the Sessler yester. I don't think 1055 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,320 Speaker 1: it settled it because I've read Mark's what can be 1056 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: termed literally love letters to his favorite organization, the Long Forms, 1057 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: and if that is an evidence of like fanatical psychosis 1058 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: involving loving a football team. I mean, it's it's a 1059 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 1: window open. It's a window into a mind of somebody 1060 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 1: who truly does obsess and love this team. It's organic. 1061 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: So Nick, I mean, I know you're working for them, 1062 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: but I don't think you've overtaken market. That's fine, I'll 1063 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: take a second. It's a significant step, though, You've taken 1064 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: a major step in that competition, if it is one. 1065 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 1: Because now like every time, you know, I tried to 1066 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 1: and I had a few people here and they're close 1067 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: to the team that I could could attempt to get 1068 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,840 Speaker 1: information from. Now I can't do that with Nick. But if, like, 1069 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 1: if any time I and that happens, they're just gonna Nick, 1070 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna hit him up all the time, publicly and publicly. 1071 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: I would never acknowledge that. Here's the question. The Browns 1072 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 1: have that great facility and Barrera Um, I mean it's 1073 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 1: it's it is built on an ancient Indian burial ground, 1074 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: So be careful with that. You gotta wear one of 1075 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: those bone necklaces will be safe. But I'm sure they 1076 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 1: have an incredible jim as all NFL facilities do. Do 1077 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,359 Speaker 1: you have access to their workout? So here's the thing, Uh, 1078 00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: they used to. From what I understand, they used to, 1079 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh express, let's let this ride. We don't 1080 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 1: need to let it right. We should have recorded this 1081 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 1: with me in the gym. You hear a lot, you 1082 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: hear a lot more. You know, breathing is important to 1083 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: lifting weights. That guy's doing it wrong. But no, they 1084 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 1: from what I understand, they used to allow their employees 1085 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 1: to use the same facility weight lifting facility as as 1086 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: the team, and decided when they renovated the building the 1087 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: last few years to build an employee gym. And it's 1088 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: very nice. I stepped through it when I was on 1089 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: the tour and it was a big selling point for 1090 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: Gonna stay yoked. Of course, imagine shook Um going into 1091 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 1: a job interview. I mean so impressive physically, it's like, 1092 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 1: are you here for the football side or you're doing 1093 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: I mean he's built his body into a god statue. 1094 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 1: There's no no, I'm just gonna say that we are 1095 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: really happy for you, Nick, and you did amazing work 1096 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:04,120 Speaker 1: for us um filling in whenever we needed a hand 1097 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: with extra eyes. And you're so good watching the game 1098 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,839 Speaker 1: and you get the game, and you get the offensive line. 1099 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,359 Speaker 1: You love the trench warfare, which is not enough people 1100 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: that really are into that stuff. So the Browns are 1101 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 1: very lucky and uh we lost a good one and 1102 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 1: shook thank you. I appreciate it, and this office are 1103 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,800 Speaker 1: getting better at evaluating talent.

But I hope Cam comes back. 1131 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: Another victim of some of the hiring practices here and 1132 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: the difficulty getting a full time job.
