Yes, 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: still in funkers, and I don't think it's changing anytime soon. 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Wesley, and Greg Rostal. What is up, boys? Hey? Dan, 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: how's everybody doing. It's getting real, right Mark, some dark 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: forces now that are coming over us, solid, solid sea. 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: I feel like yesterday was you know, hovering towards b 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: plus still had some novelty attached to it. Um, we've 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: dipped today. You've also you were in the Bates Motel 13 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: through Wednesday, and now I could tell just by the 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: background you're back at what appears to be your home. 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: So I imagine that has been a bit of a 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: rude awakening as well. Um. Actually, as a fact check this, 17 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: I still have this place for one more one more episode, 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: so that's see it is that there's a picture in 19 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: the background that you questioned before. But I did spend 20 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: um a solid chunk of the day, as I'm sure 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: some of you are on your own, um, homeschooling a child, 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's a career that I'm 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: totally equipped to double up on while also uh finding 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: out where Joe Joe Natsen signed with. So it's you know, 25 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: those two things happening at once here. You look great 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: in that Titans hat and uh bright red or I 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: don't even know a color that is Nike gear from 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: the owner's meeting, ma mark red. Wait, throw your hands 29 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: up again? Do you really have We've talked about that 30 00:01:52,480 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: lost just for the women theory. Okay, he's out. Um, 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: just so we're on the same page, Mark in terms 32 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: of like total honesty here in the bunker on the 33 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: bunker cast Originally I believe you had said that the 34 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: residents that you were in was through Wednesday. But now 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: we're Thursday and you're still there. So something changed. So 36 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: what no, So what was going to happen was that 37 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: today was the day that I was going to relinquish 38 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: this space so that um, my significant other could work here. 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: But her schedule has been jacked up and in fact, 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: because nobody on the planet wants to stay at um 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: airbnbs in Los Angeles, right now. We have re upped 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: for it on a very affordable deal into the recent Well, 43 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: because if I tried to do this show from what 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: is happening at my home right now, you would have 45 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: a fifth and six member of the of the pod 46 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: making plenty of noise about non football items. Be honest, 47 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: are you squatting you mean, just simply not leaving the 48 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: it's within it's within your legal right. Once you're in 49 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: the residents, you don't have to leave. Well, that's I'll 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: say this a week from now that maybe the strategy. 51 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure that was still a rule, but I'm 52 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: not sure either. Contact your lawyer first. Nothing nothing feels 53 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: relevant anymore. Uh. And you know what it is, it's 54 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: such a you know, tense, uneasy time. And I did. 55 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm a little bothered by Sean Payton now has tested 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: positive for the coronavirus. And I know Peyton is going 57 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: to have the best medical care possible and I'm sure 58 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine, But it is just again, it's intruding. 59 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: You know, we're using this football right now is a 60 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: distraction and then and then that happens, and you just, 61 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: from from my standpoint, just keeping it totally real. I 62 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: just I get a sense of anxiety that if as 63 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: these um celebrities and well known sports figures, as the 64 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: number starts them mount, I get nervous about what's gonna 65 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: happen when the testings are become more widely available. I'm 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: starting to get a feeling this is the cast is 67 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: going to become a regular way of life, and um, 68 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: things are not going back anytime soon. Is anybody else 69 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: feeling that sense of I don't know anxiety? Oh yeah, 70 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's safe to assume we are 71 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: doing this for a while, even in the best case 72 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: scenario of the next month, how that plays out. I 73 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: think we're gonna be doing this for a long time 74 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: that I think we're all on the same page there. Yeah, 75 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: Keisha and I have only been outside of the house 76 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: to take walks since the weekend, and when I last 77 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: went to the grocery store, I wore black gloves and 78 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: brought a mask with me. I think I'll be putting 79 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: the mask on next time. My anxiety is I can 80 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: say my immune system is strong, but I don't trust 81 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: it because I'm out here wearing gloves in a mask 82 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: and it's a child on the way. I mean, you've 83 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: got a hot situation in your recent past and in 84 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: the near future to attend to. So I guess what 85 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: we're trying to say is this sucks. Did someone tweet 86 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: a tweet, a photo or like post on Instagram? Was 87 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: that you Mark? Yeah, because I think it posted the 88 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: stream so down below, like fans keep trying to jump 89 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: into their broadcast and I'm constantly like banning them, like 90 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: people are trying to get it down there down it 91 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: gives you it's gonna keep Ricky busy for the show today. Seriously, 92 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm like just getting rid of people trying to log 93 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: into our stream. Oh. I can see why, because it's 94 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: got the hideous job editing, cropping, I should say cropping 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: the photo there. It has the very easy to type 96 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: address to the stream of people in Ireland trying to 97 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: get into. Literally, I just saw one guy and he 98 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: started smirking because he could see it, and I was like, 99 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to ban people. Mark. I didn't know that 100 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: would be the effect. You're gonna need to update your 101 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: ninja o uh security online training courses at NFL Media. 102 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: That's very I am the only one I assumed that 103 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: did the Ninjio. Course that came out two days ago 104 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: and it was it was pertinent. Yeah, that's heading into 105 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: NFL network tomorrow, and I am very curious of what 106 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: is the scene is going to be like there. I 107 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: feel like like anything could Like Paul tag Leabou might 108 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: just be in in like a corner office. Tags. Respect 109 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: the hell out of Tags. I couldn't remember his name 110 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: last week, but I respect the guy. I'll tell you that. Um. 111 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: All right, So this is our were we I think 112 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: we're reaching a record we've tied in all time around 113 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: the NFL podcast record. This is our fifth podcast in 114 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: as many days, and we are going to close out 115 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: the week strong and uh tomorrow, so we are going 116 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: to set an a t N record six straight shows. 117 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: And we're doing it because it is the new league year, 118 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: and even though things aren't popping off, and they really 119 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: haven't been since the Tom Brady News, news continues to 120 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of trickle in, and we're gonna keep you up 121 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: to date on everything that's going on in the NFL, 122 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: give you a little bit of a analysis, a touch 123 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: of mirth. Uh, figure out what's going on behind the 124 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: scenes with Cessler because I still think we don't have 125 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: the whole story there with his living situation. I mean, 126 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: why isn't simone at that house? Now? How come she 127 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: has been granted status? We really haven't had that much 128 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: to do in the last like three or four days, 129 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: have we? I mean it's I think this is more 130 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: about where the show occurs. And um, there's no reason 131 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: to be here all day today, which is why I 132 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: was home. And uh, if she were here, where would 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: my nine and seven year old? So I I there 134 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: are there is a logical reason why she's not here 135 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: with me at the moment. Is the residence larger than 136 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: your home? No? The residents reminds me of the first 137 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: apartment I lived in when I moved to Hollywood the 138 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: first time and was here for seventy five days and 139 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: worked at Hamburger Hamlet on Hollywood, And what I rented 140 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: was a eight foot by eight foot room that didn't 141 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: have a big enough space or a bed. That's essentially this. 142 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I looked for a space that probably isn't 143 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: even applicable to be on Airbnb, and bang found it. 144 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: And uh, not to make light of it at all, obviously, 145 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: because people are dying, of course, not well, No, I'm 146 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: moving on from your situation. Um, people are dying, of 147 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: course from this um coronavirus. But I guess you know 148 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: Sean Payton testing positive. Mark. We just recently came in 149 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: direct contact with the man at the scouting combine. Do 150 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: you have any concerns there? You touched him. I saw 151 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: you touch him. Yeah. We talked about this on a 152 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: on one of those combine shows where um, I believe 153 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: the move was and I had clothing on and he 154 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: did too. Obviously we were in a in a cramit bar, 155 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: but you know he was. There was a bunch of 156 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: brows everywhere, and I like had to create like an 157 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: alleyway for him to get through, and I basically put 158 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: my hand on his shoulder and kind of tried to 159 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: sweep out. Um. You know, the flotsam around us, so 160 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: you could have a walking path, but you're right in 161 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: the process. Um, there was contact and close proximity. And 162 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: if I ever were to catch the coronavirus from Sean Payton, 163 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of like the coolest way, not 164 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: the coolest way, but it would be a notable way 165 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: to catch it. I could think of some better ways, 166 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: but that would be that would be top five. I 167 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: did just look it up in my phone because I 168 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: did transcribe it as it happened in real time. Uh, 169 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: you said, let's make some way from my man, and 170 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: then according to my notes, you clasped his shoulder, and 171 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: then Peyton looked up, stunned and made eye contact with me, 172 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: thinking that I knew him and that you knew him. 173 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: But nobody knew anybody and Dan, that was twelve seconds 174 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: before I walked up to a random girl sitting at 175 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: a table and took a giant swig of wine out 176 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: of her glass. So, if anything, I paid it forward, 177 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: if if I, if I, if I've caught anything? So 178 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: has someone else say that's fair? All right? So let's 179 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: get into it. Yes, Sean Payton test positive probably won't 180 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: be the last nf fell figure that we hear about. 181 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: That it's popping up at all the major sports um, 182 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: but let's hope it doesn't. It isn't a news item 183 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: that comes up too often. Let's get into the big 184 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: news of Thursday, which is the Los Angeles Rams are 185 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: maybe not a complete rebuild, but a complete reorganization organization 186 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: of what they are doing and what their operation is about. 187 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: And a huge domino fell, uh this afternoon when the 188 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Rams released Todd Gurley with the post June first designation. 189 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: You will remember that he signed a four year, sixty 190 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: million dollar extension is how it was described back in 191 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: July of two thousand eighteen, not even two two years ago. 192 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: But later that season, Uh, he was a dominant player 193 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: and then his knee started aching. It was an issue 194 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: through the playoffs and to the Super Bowl where he 195 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: barely played. And then last year, despite scoring fourteen touchdowns 196 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: for the Rams, was on a workload, did not carry 197 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: the ball near as much at career loads and touches 198 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: and yards, and didn't have the same explosion. And the 199 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: Rams West a team in salary cap hell, decide they 200 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: got to move on from Gurley, even if it's gonna 201 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: be a you know, a bad look organizationally, and it's 202 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: gonna cost him financially. Yeah. I think we saw some 203 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: improvement towards the end of the year and his agility, 204 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: but it wasn't enough, and especially from a guy where 205 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: like you said, they reduced his workload and he still 206 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: couldn't have that same explosiveness or regain that same explosiveness 207 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: he did in his all pro years. I immediately thought, well, ironically, 208 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: this may open up a spot for Melvin Gordon to 209 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: go across town and find a starting job in free 210 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: agency at a much less um amount than he wanted 211 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: in the first place. But this is an opening now 212 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: for him, and I saw that. Adam Schefter reported that 213 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: before Gurley was released, the Dolphins and Foulins were two 214 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: teams interested in him. I don't know why you would 215 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: invest a lot in Todd Gurley at this point. I 216 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: guess interest is one thing. Why not take maybe take 217 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: a shot at him. The fact that the Rams who 218 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: love what Todd Gurley meant to the organization so much 219 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: that they gave him this contract two years before they 220 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: needed to. I mean, he would have just been finishing 221 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: his rookie contract this year. Um says what they felt 222 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: about him. And they're not cutting him because of finances. 223 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they're saving a little bit of money once 224 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,599 Speaker 1: you get past June for to sign their rookie class 225 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: in terms of the cap, but they're eating tons of 226 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: dead money. Uh, They're just saying Todd Gurley can't help 227 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: us win. That like he is a net negative, that 228 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: is like not worth having around as someone we would 229 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: give the ball to like he's not He's just not good. Yeah, 230 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: it's like I think they're scouting report on him should 231 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: be taken into account by all these people that want 232 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: to match Todd Gurley with the Bucks and uh team 233 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: be or see, you're right, the Falcons were mentioned and 234 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: they have a need, but I wouldn't. I'd want to 235 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: get a really good close look at Todd Gurley before 236 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: I paid him a cent, and I don't. You can't 237 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: do that right now. So you know, his marketability is 238 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: probably hurt by teams wanting to take a pretty thorough 239 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: medical check on him. And I'm just you know, the 240 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: Rams who also let Clay Matthews go, which is not 241 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: as big of a surprise, but you hear that Brandon 242 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: Cooks is out there um as trade bait and that 243 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: teams with him similar situation medical wise, very concerned about 244 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: the concussion situation with Brandon Cooks and you know it 245 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: was noted on the on NFL network. Well, the Rams 246 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: are fine because they love him so much. Well, it's like, actually, 247 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: he sounds kind of untradeable at the moment also, and 248 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: so just to me, it's kind of crazy and we 249 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: say this all the time about teams that get into 250 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl window and then two years later there's 251 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: they're in a totally different continent. But the Rams of 252 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: today UM are in a shocking place. If you looked 253 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: at where they were two years ago, it's it's just 254 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty wild because they were the epicenter and 255 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: talk of the NFL and they are far from it 256 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: right now. And you see how it works in the league. 257 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: They were a team UH entering last year and certainly 258 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the year before that, their Super Bowl season, where they 259 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: were so aggressive in their free agents spending, and you 260 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: just wondered, like, none of us are capologists, but it 261 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: just felt like the bill was gonna come to eventually 262 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: and they were gonna end up being in a tough spot. 263 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: And that turned out to be UH, and they have 264 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: a ton of work to do to kind of fix 265 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: their cap and at the same time, it is a 266 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: complete world of UM mystery for them going forward. Here's 267 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: just the brief rundown of who they've lost now in 268 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: this offseason. Girly, Dante Fowler, Michael Brocker's, Corey Littleton, Clay Matthews, 269 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: Nicol Robie Coleman, Eric Weddle, Wade Phillips has gone. Brandon Cooks. 270 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: They're trying to offload. That's a guy. He's a really 271 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: talented playing acre uh in his twenties, but he cannot 272 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: stay on the field anymore unfortunately because of these head injuries. 273 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: And you imagine his market is very low as well 274 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: at this point. So the Rams are in a very 275 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: tricky spot. The window again closes so quickly, and they 276 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: are just the latest example of that. It's it's early 277 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: yet in the off season, but I can definitely envision 278 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: a scenario where we're picking them to finish last in 279 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: that division. With the improvement to Cardinals are making and 280 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: the forty Niners and Seahawks were playoff teams last year, 281 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: So it would not surprise me if we end up 282 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: picking them to come in last. Great test for Sean 283 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: McVeigh if he if he's anywhere as good as we 284 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: were making him out to be two years ago, they 285 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: should be competitive. I mean, they were a nine and 286 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: seven team. They have lost a lot, but they still 287 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: have you know, Golf, Ramsey, Woods, Havenstein, Whitworth, Cooper, cop 288 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: John Johnson, Jared Goff. I know it's it's not nearly 289 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: the same team. But if you're a really good coaching 290 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: staff and a good front office, which we've given them 291 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: credit for, they should be able to fill in those 292 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: role players and at least be competitive and what might 293 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: be the toughest division in the league. I'm with I'm 294 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: not even arguing with us. We might be picking them last. 295 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: I might be picking them last. But if McVeigh is 296 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: that going to coach and and Snead can fill find 297 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: some role players here, they shouldn't be like a five 298 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: and eleven team. I guess I don't. I don't quite 299 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: see them being that bad in a way. I mean, 300 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: it's it comes much earlier in Sean mcveigh's head coaching career, 301 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: but it's not the quarterback loss at the core of it, 302 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: but a Matt Castle type test for Sean McVeigh, because 303 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: it's like he just has about of the talent he 304 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: had a year ago, if not less. The Girly contract 305 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: was stupid. I think they really wanted him to kind 306 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: of be the face and like he was their guy, 307 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: and like all these other moves letting some of the 308 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: defensive players go to me that those haven't been that 309 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: big of a killer. Swinging and missing on Girly. That 310 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: big sets them back, and as l A residents, it 311 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: is a bummer because Girly is I think he's an 312 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: interesting personnel and a guy that was a perfect kind 313 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: of face of that team. It just didn't work out 314 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: physically with the knee. It looks like it's a chronic issue. 315 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: He's just twenty five years old. He was supposed to 316 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: be the guy that was on you know, he was 317 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: on all the billboards about this new stadium opening. He 318 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: doesn't even make it to the new stadium. So the 319 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: Rams are in transition. It will be very interesting to 320 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: see where Girl ends up. I hope he ends up 321 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: by the way. I hope he gets a shot first 322 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: of all, which I imagine he'll get another contract, but 323 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: he ends up in a spot where we can see, uh, 324 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: if he has anything left. Because the one thing that 325 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: is kind of been lost a little bit in the 326 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: shuffle is that the Rams really were not set up 327 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: very well on offense last year, including on their offensive line. 328 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that makes up for everything, but that 329 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: kind of got lost in the shuffle and everything was 330 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: just attributed to be Girly being shot. That's fair dog, 331 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: all right, Let's move on, one little, one little, one 332 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: little note there, because because I think this would get 333 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: on your radar, Dan that um Jalen Ramsey who obviously 334 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: they give up two first round picks for thinking this 335 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: would um, you know, be the the guy that puts 336 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: him over the top and shoots them into Super Bowl 337 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: two in a row. Uh, tweeted just simply wow after 338 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: reading the girly news and so now I think on 339 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: top of it, you might be dealing with certain players 340 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: who are like do I want to spend my career 341 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey's you know, extension candidate um hanging around 342 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: a team that maybe is heading in the wrong direction. 343 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: I've I've let go of my frustration and disappointment and 344 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: young Jalen Ramsey UM after the way he ended his 345 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: Jacksonville career. But yes, I there maybe there's a little 346 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: bit of karma coming after him now because he's in 347 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: the middle of another rebuild on the other side of 348 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: the country. Uh. Moving on, gentlemen. By the way, Todd 349 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: Gurley's tweet, Damn I got fired on my day off 350 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: hashtag quarantine and chill. I mean see that's that's what 351 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: when they say get your money, like when he got 352 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: thirty million guaranteed for those two years instead of like 353 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: two millions. Like then you can make jokes. Yeah, I 354 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: like girl. He's got a good personality. I hope things 355 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: work out for him. Moving on the goals make a 356 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: good move, a big move for them, reaching agreement on 357 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: a three year uh fifty million dollar extension with Darius Slay, 358 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: who they acquired in a trade from the Lions earlier 359 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: in the day in exchange for a third and fifth 360 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: round picks in so it's cost them in this draft, 361 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: but not a top of the line premium draft pick, 362 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: and they get one of the best cornerbacks in the 363 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: league and seven years of the Lions. Uh. He's a 364 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: guy that always did the job in Detroit. Uh, and 365 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: now he joins an Eagle secondary that frankly, Greg needed 366 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: somebody like him to study the ship. Yeah they did. 367 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: They brought back Jalen Mills, they lost Malcolm Jenkins, but 368 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: they needed a real cornerback and he's someone that players 369 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: seemed to respect his skill level in a way that 370 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus doesn't like. Players seem to think he's 371 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: one of the best guys in late because he's one 372 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: of the few guys that follows around number one receivers. 373 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: I like, uh, what the Eagles have done. We didn't 374 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 1: really get into the Javon Hargrave signing the other day, 375 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: but I thought that was one of the best value 376 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: and impact signings. They added him to the defensive line, 377 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: and Slay Slays an impact player too. Yeah. I think 378 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna overpay in free agency, I much preferred 379 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: doing it with these nucleus type of players, like you said, impact, 380 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave and Darius Slay and I think Slays the 381 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: top five cornerback in the league. I like that as 382 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: opposed to what's a team like the Lions is doing, 383 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: which is over paying for mediocrity. Give me the Eagles offseason. 384 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: I like it. Why Why didn't the Lions keep Slay? 385 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: Why was I don't think he would have I think 386 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: they knew he would not have stayed there. I mean, 387 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: it just seemed like the relationship is broken to me. 388 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: But but on paper, you move it, well, you move 389 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: him for a third and a fifth and I you know, again, 390 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: we just talked about what Jalen Ramsey went for to 391 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: first so and I get that that was too much 392 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: for Jalen Ramsey, but a third and a fifth feels underwhelming. 393 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: And to West's point, like they dropped fifty million dollars 394 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: on Hollo Viti who has twenty career starts um in 395 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: five years, and that you went and got Desmond Truffont 396 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: to replace Darius Slay and they're probably gonna have to 397 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: go Every mock draft has them, you know, unless they 398 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: trade out of the spot, taking um Jeff Okuda at 399 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: the cornerback in at number three, and so then you're 400 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: just you're you're losing guys because it's like you lose 401 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: Um Snacks Harris and you move on from him and 402 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: you go get Danny Sheldon. It's like you're moving away 403 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: from veterans that you that you traded for just to 404 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: go get new guys. And it's like, I don't see 405 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: team that's Yeah, they don't. They're not a team that's 406 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: stacks strength on strength. Ever, there's nothing about the team 407 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: that's ever overwhelming for a for an opponent. Does anybody 408 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: want to put a sandwich against me? I am certain 409 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: the Lions are trading out of that pick and they're 410 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna pick up a bounty and somebody's gonna go get 411 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback at three. Anybody want to take me on 412 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 1: on that. I'm with you because I think the suitors 413 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: they'll there will be suitors for that. Because even even 414 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: if the Redskins did trade out of two for some reason, 415 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: and you have to go to two to get a quarterback, 416 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: there might be another person training to three to get 417 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: the next quarterback. Don't the Chargers have to basically, I mean, 418 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: depending on what happened or the Dolphins, well yeah, or 419 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: the Panthers or the Panthers right, Patriots and then you know, yeah, 420 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: come get him Patriots. Patriots go get to uh somehow 421 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: Belichick gets to Patricia for a seventh round pick. I 422 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: guarantee it. Ma Patricia just lets New England in there 423 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: for like a conditional seventh mark. The Patriots aren't special anymore. 424 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: It won't happen. Just another team though they're not special 425 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: for about four weeks. Then they're gonna they'll find Tom 426 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: Brady's twenty one year old d NA successor. Um oh. 427 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: And speaking of the Lions, they do did you guys 428 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: mentioned Desmon trufont We did it, and I thought that 429 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: was a gamble worth taking. He played really well for 430 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: the five or six games that he played last year 431 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: at least made it a lot of good plays on 432 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: the ball. He was hurt for one of the first 433 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: times of his career, and he was getting paid a ton, 434 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: but it he's not getting paid as much anymore. And 435 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: like he's always been a good starter. If they were 436 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: gonna at least they picked up someone. He's been beaten 437 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: more often the last couple of years by average wide receivers. 438 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: That would raise a few alarm bills to me. He's 439 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: making eleven million a year. I mean, that's not that's cheap. 440 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: I mean, at this point that's it's not cheap, but 441 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of like lower tier starter money. At this point, 442 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: I will always defer to you and as as West 443 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: noted yesterday when it comes to contracts stuff, because you're 444 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: right and it's not my wheelhouse up uh. Speaking of 445 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: Greg's Patriots, Joe Tune, he signed his franchise tag tender. 446 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: Didn't waste any time doing that. It's about for sixteen 447 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: million dollars and I guess nobody really put it together, 448 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: but it was the biggest amongst maybe the biggest surprise 449 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: of franchise tag deadline that to and he ended up 450 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: getting tagged by the Pats, and that was a hint 451 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: in retrospect that they all of a sudden had more 452 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: money with than they were maybe other people expected, because 453 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was going out the door. And one thing 454 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: that does annoy me. I mentioned that Greg that I've 455 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: now read in multiple places that it was basically a 456 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: lock that Jets. The Jets were gonna add tuny uh 457 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: and the Patriots. Uh, you know a little double dip. 458 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: Not only they get to keep this guy, they get 459 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: to stick it to my Jets. Well enjoy it while 460 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: at last, because you're not gonna be able to do 461 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: that too much longer. I I would not be surprised 462 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 1: if they only franchise tagged them just despite the Jets. 463 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: I mean like it's like if you're if you're Tunis agent, 464 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: you let that out there and then you although you 465 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: probably want that Jets money because right now he's just 466 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: on a one year contract, I was. I was taken 467 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: them with Bill Belichick's statement on the franchise tag, which 468 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: made it pretty clear they really want to sign him 469 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: long term, and he's one of the you know, key players, 470 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: and unless it's all just bs, I think they are 471 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: really gonna keep him. Um, all right, Joe Flacco West 472 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: we had many spirited conversations about Mr Flacco. Uh last offseason. Uh, 473 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: it did not work out for the former Super Bowl 474 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: m v P in Denver. He flamed out, came down 475 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: with another neck injury. UM, and the Broncos officially UH 476 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: cut ties with him, waved him with a failed physical 477 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: design NATION. He didn't require next surgery, but he expects 478 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: to get clearance and wants to play in thirty five 479 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: years old. Uh. He looks like he's heading towards the 480 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: clipboard stage of his career, whether he likes it or not. 481 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: And I'm sure there are several teams that could could 482 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: get better in that quarterback room with Flacco as the 483 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: number two guy. Yeah. I think if if Matt Shob's 484 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: career is instructive in any way, it tells us that 485 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: Flacco has another five or six years of holding the 486 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: clipboard and collecting millions and millions of dollars in that 487 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: number two role, as long as he keeps his mouth 488 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: shut and it's supportive of the starter. Like what a 489 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: different tone from Westlan. I don't mean he's done keep 490 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: your mouth shut one, cash your check and shut your mouth. 491 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: He's Flacco does not seem like a guy who wants 492 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: to play until he's forty. Just the way he's talked, 493 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: it would not shock me if he retired, Like if 494 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't get anything but like a four million dollar offer. 495 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: I could just see him saying, so long, I can 496 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: go work on my acting. Get get back on the 497 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: Johnny United movie. I gotta get that United Bio pick 498 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: off the ground. You just gotta do it. Uh. We 499 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: mentioned the Patriots and Tom Brady, who's no longer there. 500 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: It has not been announced officially, but everybody knows Tom 501 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: Brady is the next starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 502 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: Also something we talked about on yesterday's show that for 503 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: whatever reason, at least according to Whisper Slash reports, tom 504 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: Brady is like obsessed with playing with Antonio Brown and uh, 505 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: he was interested in Brown joining that great wide receiver 506 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: room in Tampa. But rap Sheet said that the Bucks 507 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: are highly unlikely to sign the former All Pro wide receiver. So, 508 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: for whatever that's worth, that's what's going on there. I 509 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: think part of that, I wonder because the other report 510 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: from Adam Schefter and you you're hearing it all over 511 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: the place. Now is that all these free agents that 512 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: aren't signed and they realized at this point it's a 513 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: lower cast of characters are all calling up the Bucks saying, 514 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: we want to come to Tampa Bay and play with 515 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. So it's like, what if someone like in 516 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders or someone else's out there, I mean, Antonio 517 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Brown is a nuclear bomb ready to go off. You know, 518 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that you have to go down the 519 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown route. If all the others players want to 520 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: to join up, they already don't need a wide receiver. 521 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: To be honest, it makes sense right because Brady in 522 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: the new surroundings, it's the buzziest move of the off 523 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: season in many off seasons. Uh, you don't have to 524 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: play with if you're gonna get a chance to play 525 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: with them, you don't have to do it on the 526 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: stuffy Patriot Way under Belichick, which is such you know, 527 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: business oriented operations. Some guys don't like it. You get 528 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: to go down and play in Tampa with the tax breaks, 529 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: and Bruce arian two is the players coach. I get 530 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: why because you could I mean, guys could have always 531 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: said I want to go play with Tom Brady. But 532 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: this seems like something where players would want to go 533 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: there in this new exciting environment. What's going on at 534 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: the big Pirate Ship. Yeah, I could see them signing 535 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: a safety, maybe a third wide receiver, a passing down 536 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: running back. But I don't know where all of these 537 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: like high impact free agents are going to come from, 538 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: most of them already off the board. I wonder with them. 539 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they are in the ultimate win There is 540 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: not a more win now team than the Tampa Bay 541 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 1: Buccaneers that I can remember. Because Bruce said they had 542 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: their quarterback and their coach probably want to retire after 543 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: one or two more years at most. I mean, arians 544 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: would love to get out of there. I mean, they 545 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: need to win now. They should just go crazy. These 546 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: things do not work out, though, so I I want to. 547 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: I am excited to watch this as much for the 548 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: potential um implosion factor. One of the best books I 549 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: read when I was was young was The Worst Team 550 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Money Could Buy about that Mets team from I believe 551 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: what nine one or ninety two were. They try they 552 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: try to simply buy a team and it did not 553 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: work at all, and they're still paying Bobby Benia and 554 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: it's like you know, you never know what the ripple 555 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: effect will be UM from something like this. Football typically 556 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: does not reward these type of efforts. You've already put 557 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: it on record mark that the five to six prime 558 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: time games to the Bucks is on your radar. It 559 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: always is. I mean, they deserve it more than most 560 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys teams that get under my skin for 561 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: that um that reward from the networks. But I think 562 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: it's going to be fascinating to watch, Like I can't 563 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: I've never really imagined a time where the Bucks were 564 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: the team I couldn't wait to see, and everyone must 565 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: feel that way. It's like, we've got to see how 566 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: this works. But the implosion factor is UM is real. 567 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: I just it's definitely something we've seen a billion times before. 568 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see just how Tom Brady looks in 569 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: a totally different Maybe the offense will have similar traits 570 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: because I'm sure he's gonna bring elements of what makes 571 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: him comfortable. But because the Brady the Brady Patriots last year, 572 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: we're the opposite of exciting and a fun offense to watch. 573 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: So I really he's got totally different personnel around him, 574 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: different coaching. Will it change the style of play or 575 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: is Brady at forty three years old Brady and it's 576 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: just it's gonna look a lot like what was going 577 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: on in New England. Maybe maybe not, Maybe he starts 578 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: speaking his mind right, That is exactly what I was thinking. 579 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: More than like, more than anything. I'm really curious if 580 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: because we keep hearing from the Jeff Darlington's of the 581 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 1: world and and some others that he was really looking 582 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: for a coach that would like let him just you know, 583 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: treat him like an adult and he could he could 584 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. If that, I'm curious if that'll 585 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: extend into his press conferences. I kind of doubt it. 586 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: I mean, how many crazy interressing things is Tom Brady 587 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: really gonna say, Yeah, I'm not gonna hold my breath 588 00:30:53,920 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: on that uh kicker corner. Dan Bailey signs of three 589 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: your contract with the Vikings. That guy hangs around huh 590 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: like Dan bail He's been doing the damn thing for 591 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: a while now. He seemed like he was on the ropes. 592 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: But now he's got a three year deal and finally 593 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: mark in the in a world, in a world where 594 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: everything is upside down and everyone's scared and worried about 595 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: what's coming next. It is good to know that Colt McCoy, 596 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: the namesake of your h youngest son, is still in 597 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: the league and cash at paychecks. He just signed a 598 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: deal with the New York Giants to back up Daniel Jones. 599 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: And this feels like it was something that always was 600 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: going to happen, that Colt McCoy would be a backup 601 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: on the Giants. And now here we are. Yeah, Cult Sessler, 602 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: Colton Sessler, who was, as you mentioned, named after Colt 603 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: McCoy the day that day, hours after Culton came out 604 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 1: of um into the earth, out of another area. Wait, well, well, 605 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, you know, that's how child growth works, 606 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: and can you do the hand motions of how it worked? Again? 607 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: It was like I cannot like he. But hours after 608 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: he was born, the Browns drafted Um Brandon Weeden. So 609 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: it was an ill day to be introduced to the 610 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: call McCoy experience. But Mike Calton is now an Eagles 611 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: fan and his favorite coat is an Eagles jacket. He 612 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: loves the Eagles, and uh so call McCoy is doing 613 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: the dodge game. He's played with the Redskins he's played 614 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: for the he's going for the Giants. Let's come on, 615 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: let's make this thing happen in Philadelphia. I would say this, 616 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: if you've got Daniel Jones, Cole McCoy the person, call 617 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: McCoy the person is one of the best, I knew you. 618 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: I I honestly I read this when, way back when, 619 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: when like every Brown's player fascinated me to no end. 620 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: I read this book that call McCoy and his father 621 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: like wrote together, and I was just like, this guy 622 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: is the real deal as a person. And that was 623 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: partly why the naming happened the way he did not, 624 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: because I thought he was gonna go twelve and four 625 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: or four years in a row. And I truly still 626 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: still believe that about him. I think everywhere he's been, 627 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: he's been one of these guys that would be awesome 628 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: to have in a quarterback room, and if you can 629 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: stay healthy, I think he's a pretty good backup too. 630 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: Does I seem to remember Spice Rack telling me about 631 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: ten years ago that Colt McCoy was going to be 632 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: a better version of Jeff Garcia. James Harrison ended him. Yeah, James, 633 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: that James Harrison incident on a I believe Thursday Night 634 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: Football or what it was the concussion where you know 635 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: the call. McCoy never really was the same person after that, 636 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: even to this moment. Wow, I don't. I haven't seen 637 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: him ever returned. He's like walking around in you know, 638 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: with his family this week, and he's just shaken. Yes 639 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: to the specifics. Let's let's say he was, you know, 640 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,239 Speaker 1: Joe Montana before that hit. Well he he You know what, 641 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: I remember a game they wont ten over the Patriots. Alright, well, 642 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: you know less Less is Less has put up a 643 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: great article about the best uh you know games should 644 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: go find on game pass. Go to week eight or nine, 645 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: I believe of the two thousand ten season and watch 646 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: that and and Tom Brady looked like he had been 647 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: slipped like three pills of acid in that game, like 648 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: he was not.

I don't 706 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: think it's asking a lot of you musically or in 707 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: terms of like vocal range. Maybe that was it? Yeah, yeah, 708 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: um anyway, So if you, guys, anybody wants to hear 709 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: Nirvana covers, hit me up at Dan Jansas on Twitter 710 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: and I'll fasilitated for you.

Guys, going on definitely 713 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: not safe, Greg, Why is your house so quiet? Did 714 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: you finally, you know, just get rid of the kids? Uh? No, 715 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 1: we set up not not TV TV time in my bedroom. 716 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: As the podcast starts, you know that that's there that's 717 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: the reward for for a good day. So I just 718 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: um ordered a one hundred foot cord to plug into 719 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: my modem and reach to the garage. We'll see how 720 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 1: that works out because we again, we are not going anywhere. 721 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: You know what though that I at least for now, 722 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: they're not making us stay indoors, you know, indoors in 723 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: l A, I mean, like in your house. And we 724 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: went to the beach this morning as a family, not 725 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: to like hang out, but just just to walk. It 726 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: was empty, it was it was beautiful. Did you keep 727 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: a six six ft distance from any strangers? There were 728 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: no There were no people within I would say thirty 729 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: or forty feet at at any point. We were just 730 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: taking a walk. But yeah, it's easy to stay away. 731 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: Just random bodies floating out in the water, though probably 732 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: a few of them at this point. Wes, how's Lakisha 733 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: doing with this? I owe her a phone call. I'm 734 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna give her a call after this podcast. But I, um, 735 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: is she okay? Because I can't imagine I've I've been 736 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: around a pregnant woman when she's having her firstborn. It's 737 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: a very stressful time filled with anxiety. Under the best 738 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: of circumstances. Well, you guys know Lakisha, she's a rock. 739 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: She's a very strong person. And I think she has 740 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: some some anxiety about perhaps missing out on her baby 741 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: shower with her friends and family in St. Louis. She's 742 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: worried a little bit about her mom not being able 743 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: to travel for the delivery. Um, so those things are 744 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: weighing heavily on her mind. But on a day to 745 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: day basis, she has stayed really positive as she always is, 746 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: and um, we're getting along great, just the two of 747 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: us here at the hacienda. Girl. I texted that I 748 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,240 Speaker 1: had a sneaking suspicion the Westleyans are loving this time, 749 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: um to be quiet together. And they're love birds. You 750 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: know that you can't tell them not to enjoy the moment. 751 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: If they're going to be told to just hang out 752 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: together all day. They that they're a great couple, still 753 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,800 Speaker 1: in the newlywood stage inside a year. But uh, I 754 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: don't know. There are some other factors growing within her 755 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: womb that you know. I just want to make sure 756 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: she's okay. But it sounds like she's a well we 757 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: know she's a strong woman. Thank you all for your 758 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: concern and she's got a good man, our friend Matt Casey, 759 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: who had his first beautiful boy born right in the 760 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: middle of a coronavirus this week, Michael Connor Casey. So 761 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: it just seems like a wild time good name. I 762 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: had to have a baby, but a bit of a 763 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: missed opportunity could have could have been Michael Covid Casey. 764 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: That would have been that, that would have been fitting. 765 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: Lock it in a place in time. I bet there's 766 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people creating babies during this period that 767 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: I believe that there's going to be a hospital explosion. 768 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: Nine and a half months from now. They say it's 769 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: ten months. They say the baby actually is not nine months. 770 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: It takes ten months. Is that accurate? In sixty year 771 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: have a whole new generation saying okay, Boomer, I think 772 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 1: a lot of basically, I think a lot of divorces too. 773 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean probably a few a little both, little both. 774 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: That's kind of that's good at evens things out, you know, 775 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: just to keep things fresh. Mark you and simone with 776 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: using this residence can maybe do some fun different things 777 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: to keep things you know, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, 778 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: I mean again, it's like where would the children be 779 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: during that exercise. Pop up, pop out number three like 780 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: Jason Campbell or whoever you want. No, I don't know. 781 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: I don't think number three is um We're we're going 782 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: to just enjoy the baby produced by West and Lakisha. 783 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: That will be the baby that we enjoy from a distance. 784 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: Thank you.
