26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: receiver in the draft, bleak neighbor sure threw his hat

33
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,600

00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: he's not exactly mister marketing. Opening Day. I like baseball

71

78
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: and do what you're good at what The advice I

79
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: always give to any young person asking here is like,

80
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: follow your passion, cause you're usually gonna be better at

81
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: your passion. You're gonna put more time into it. Now,

82
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: some of us are just more natural at stuff, right,

83
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Like Emerald Legassi. No matter how how much time I

84
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: spend in a kitchen, I'm never going to be able

85
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: to prepare a better dish than him. Right, It's just

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be possible. Some people are better at negotiating

87
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: deals than others. Obviously, not all of us have the

88
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: intellectual capacity to be a doctor or a lawyer. But

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm a huge believer when you figure out what you

90
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: do well, quadruple down on that thing as you get

91
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: older professionally. And I never understand why people at pro days,

92
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: even high level prospects, don't work out. Like, if you're

93
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: a good athlete, you should want to work out. It's

94
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: a time to shine, right, It's a time to impress people.

95
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: If me or you worked out, obviously it wouldn't look great.

96
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: We're not great athletes. No one wants to see us

97
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: run and jump. But if I was a high level

98
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: college player and my team had a pro day, even

99
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: if I was a consensus top ten, top fifteen pick.

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I want to run and jump things I

101
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: do well? Now I understand Marvin Harrison, his dad, which

102
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: I've been told is like all this stuff stupid, and

103
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: he's not totally wrong. This is not gonna dictate one

104
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: way or the other. You go in six or you

105
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: going thirtieth. But like Marvin Harrison, who's dominated college football

106
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, getting open on everyone,

107
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to display his physical characteristics in front

108
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: of the decision makers. What's the most important thing for

109
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: any sales guy. Don't waste time with people that can't

110
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: make decisions. You always want to get in front of

111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the decision maker. I've been an area scout, I've gone

112
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: through these schools. I was never the decision maker. I

113
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: can give my opinion on stuff, But you wanted to

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: get in front of Howie Roseman, Andy Reid. Right. Why

115
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm watching these pro days the last couple of days

116
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks Jaden Drake may Penix, and it was

117
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: like this with Caleb and all these gms and all

118
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: these coaches are in attendance. Well, in a draft room,

119
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: who's the person that says thumbs up or thumbs down

120
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: on a pick. It's not the scouts, it's not the

121
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: college directors, it's those guys. And Malik Neighbors yesterday and

122
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: I heard some scuttle butt around LSU that he was like, Okay,

123
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: you know you want to see who the number one

124
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver is. Watch this fellas. He went out and

125
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: he ran a four three five and he jumped like

126
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: forty two inches. Malik Dagbors a lot like Marvin Harrison,

127
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: did not need to do anything was not necessary. His

128
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: film is dominant, and let's face it, in a much

129
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: better defensive conference in terms of NFL athletes at defensive

130
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: back than the Big Ten. And again, I'm not trying

131
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: to act like this is the end all be all,

132
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: but one who is widely viewed by many teams as

133
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver prospects said, fuck it. You want

134
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: to watch me run a four to three five? Take

135
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: my shirt off, have at it. Boys, Get those clocks out.

136
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Where's the vertical setup? I plan on jumping out the gym.

137
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: And I just don't understand, like I give credit to

138
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, right, Caleb did not need to work out,

139
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: but he did. Why Because he throws the football, Well,

140
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: why would you not want to work out? It'd be

141
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: like if someone asked, me, Hey, John, uh, we're interested

142
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: in hosting a show with you and Bill Belichick during

143
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: the season every Sunday or every Monday before Monday Night football,

144
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Like wait, I just talk football with Bill Belichick. Got

145
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: good at talking no football? I'm in. I wouldn't even hesitate.

146
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Now if you had, hey, do you want to open

147
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: for Dave Chappelle on Improv Night on Wednesday, I'd be like, yeah,

148
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: it's probably not a great idea. If you wanted Marvin

149
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: Harrison to do something he wasn't comfortable doing, I get it, Like,

150
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: this is stupid, This doesn't make any sense. What You

151
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: just want me to run and run routes and catch

152
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: the ball in front of guys. It's literally my greatest

153
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: attribute currently in life in terms of professionally, Like this

154
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: is what I do at an elite level. I don't

155
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: understand guys that push back, and I don't think it's

156
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: a great idea. And listen, I don't know ultimately which

157
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: guy is going to go ahead of others. But Malik

158
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Neighbors put on a show and most people would tell

159
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: you there is not some clear one and two. If anything,

160
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: these two guys are neck and neck, and a lot

161
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: of teams from what I've heard, might have Neighbors above them.

162
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: And he didn't hesitate to work out rightfully, So he's fast,

163
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: he's a freak athlete. Why would you not? When you

164
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: think about the great wide receivers over the years, they

165
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: love working out. Why. It's like when college teams, high

166
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: school teams, the pro teams, when you do the conditioning tests,

167
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: do you know who dreads those the fat guys? Why?

168
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: Cause it's difficult. It's hard to run conditioning tests when

169
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: you're a three hundred and ten pound offensive guarter defensive tackle.

170
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: That's a challenge. You know who didn't? The wide receivers

171
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: and the dbs Why Because they're way more athletic and

172
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: even if they're out of shape, they can still handle

173
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of athletic testing stuff. So

174
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I think it was a mistake, and I applaud Neighbors

175
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: for just doing what he's good at, running and jumping.

176
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: That's literally going to be his job. We know all

177
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: these guys can catch the football, so listen, when Neighbors

178
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: goes above Marvin Harrison. If that's the way it plays out,

179
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: is it because of this Pro Day? No, it's not.

180
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: But if you don't think putting on a show in

181
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: front of all the decision makers that are drafting from

182
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: four to twelve matters, you'd be pretty naive, you really would.

183
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: These guys didn't just fly there to fucking have the gumbo, right,

184
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: they flew there to watch these guys. And it's when

185
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: you do something positive that can only help. And when

186
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: you're a great athlete, doing these pretty remedial things relative

187
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: to what you do on a football field should be

188
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: a no brainer. And like, listen, when I watched these

189
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: quarterback workouts, and I watched a little bit last night.

190
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I was we had dinner cleaned up. She was like

191
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: taking a bath. I'm like, yeah, the Pro Day replay.

192
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: So I watched them kind of boring, like you're not

193
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: gay the quarterback whatever. Honestly, even with the wide receiver,

194
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I know all these guys can run rounds. I am

195
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: pretty impressed when a guy runs a four three five, Like, yeah,

196
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: I knew he was fast. He's really fast, right, I

197
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: knew he was an explosive guy. He's really explosive. He's

198
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: what we say in the business a freak show, and

199
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: that was impressive. But when you watch these quarterbacks roll out, underthrow,

200
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: throw a complete pass, I don't care. I mean, none

201
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: of this is real football. When you play a football

202
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: game at quarterback, you have four or five guys chasing

203
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: you and other guys being covered. So when you're just

204
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: playing pitch and catch, you're not getting anything out of that.

205
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Like that, you stand much more on the tape when

206
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: it comes to the quarterbacks. Now, one thing I saw

207
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: that was really impressive. I'm not gonna lie and I'm biased,

208
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: like I tend to root for West Coast people, and

209
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: I know Michael Pennix isn't technically from the West Coast,

210
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: but he became a star at the University of Washington,

211
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: and I'm a sap for the Pac twelve, even though

212
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: it no longer exists. I think a lot of people

213
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: comp Pennix, and I kind of did too. To like

214
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: a tua right, he's really a pocket passer and the

215
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: two one's easy because they're both left handed. Throws a

216
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: beautiful deep ball, but he's not mister scramble guy, and

217
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: that's never how he's played. Now. Part of it was

218
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: at Washington. They had a lot, like Michigan, an elite

219
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, so he wasn't getting touched that much. He

220
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: had a lot of time in the pocket and he

221
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: picked you apart. But I think when that happens, and

222
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I know it did with two of you, like, well,

223
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: two is not a very good athlete. Tua can't scramble

224
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: really if he wants to. I mean, he can move,

225
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: but he's not by any means of runner, and he

226
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: is not a guy that is gonna be potent on

227
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: the ground. He didn't run a forty coming out because

228
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: he was injured with the hip. But I think we

229
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: all agreed, like two is not super fast. It's not

230
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: really his game now. It never was Michael Pennix's game

231
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: these last couple of years at Washington. I know some

232
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: people said before he got injured he was much more

233
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: of a dual threat quarterback when he was really, really

234
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: young at Indiana. I'd be lying if I said I

235
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: knew who he was at the time. But obviously these

236
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years, off the different injuries he's had,

237
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: he's just a pocket passer. And then today he goes

238
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: out and I know NFL network, I think tweeted and

239
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: instagram doubt that he ran a four five five or

240
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: something or a four four five. I talked to a

241
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: couple scouts that were there that got him like four

242
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: or five three four or five four, which is an

243
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: excellent time. Like that was a very very impressive time

244
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: for Michael Pennix. Like he can run, I mean that

245
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: much is pretty clear. And he also jumped thirty six

246
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: and a half inches. Michael Pennix is a really good athlete.

247
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: So he is viewed because of his play style as

248
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: a pocket quarterback. And that's all you can go off.

249
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: The way he played in college pocket quarterback, Caleb dual threat,

250
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: Jade Daniels definitely dual threat. Even Drake Bank scramble a

251
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: lot more. You watch Michael Penox, you go, that's a

252
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: pocket quarterback. And then you see this, You're like, well

253
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: he actually can move a lot. Now, that doesn't mean

254
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: there aren't questions with them, the injuries, the way he

255
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: played against Michigan, which was basically an NFL team, it

256
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: was hard for him. It rattled them. I'm inclined to

257
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm definitely rooting for him. I wouldn't just

258
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: bet my career on drafting him. But when you have

259
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: the film that he does over a couple of years span,

260
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: and then you have the athletic testing. I know, I've

261
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: talked to buddies that have him in the second round.

262
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: I think this guy's and end up going in the

263
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: top twenty when you factor in the position he plays,

264
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: when you factor in his super high character guy, when

265
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: you factor in how beautiful his deep ball is. And

266
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: let's face it, these teams are desperate. And one thing

267
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: we've learned over the years is quarterbacks get overdrafted. I

268
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: mean Kenny Pickett mac Jones to me historically with their

269
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: physical attributes or like third or fourth round picks, Kirk

270
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: Cousins fourth round pick. The hell's the difference between him

271
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: and college of mac Jones and Kenny Pickett. Well, the

272
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: inflation in recent memory has driven guys up. It's part

273
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: of the deal. Right you want a house right now,

274
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: you can go on Zilla all you want and go God,

275
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: they paid four hundred grand for this house in twenty seventeen.

276
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: No one cares. It's twenty twenty four and that house

277
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: has now listed for one point one. So if you

278
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: want it, you better be in that vicinity or don't

279
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: even waste your time. And I think that's the reality.

280
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: With Michael Pennix. We can nitpick him apart, and that's

281
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, that's part of the process.

282
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: But he's gonna go higher than any of these people

283
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: that are down on the guy. I promise you that.

284
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: And other than that, Like you know, Jayden Daniels, all

285
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: you turn on you know, you see day Ball, you

286
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: see all these guys there, Antonio Pierce, Sean Payton sending contingents.

287
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear where all these quarterbacks. I think it

288
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: would be very, very shocking for I don't know exactly

289
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: who's gonna go where, but I think we got a

290
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: pretty good idea who's gonna end up with a quarterback

291
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: by the end of halfway through the draft, right, Obviously,

292
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: the first three teams gonna have quarterbacks, Minnesota gonna have

293
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback, The Giants a little bit of a wild

294
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: card because if your day Ball, like, there's some pressure

295
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: on you to win. So do you want one of

296
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: these wide receivers Denver the Raiders, my kid, I don't

297
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be some big shockers coming when it

298
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: comes to all this. Speaking of quarterbacks, Jed York. You

299
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: know all these owners at the owners meetings. I don't

300
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: know if they're actually obligated to talk to the press,

301
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: but most of them do a scrum with their local reporters.

302
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: It's like kind of throwing them a bone. And Jed,

303
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: who does not talk much, maybe twice a year, Like

304
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: most owners, most owners avoid giving any statements because, in fairness,

305
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: no matter what they say becomes very polarizing, becomes a

306
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: headline and gets twisted as we go every comment they have. Hell,

307
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: Robert Craft was like, yeah, what was up with that documentary?

308
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: It's like, Robert, do you fucking produce the thing? Right?

309
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: John marrs like they can draft a quarterback if they want.

310
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: Then everyone's like, why are you guys drafting a quarterback?

311
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Your owner wants you to draft a quarterback. So it's

312
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: I get why they just just let the coach in

313
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: the GM do all the talking when it comes to football.

314
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the business, the stadium and stuff, but

315
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: for the most part, I want to avoid some of

316
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: these guys. You get them talking though they're no different

317
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: than me and you. They got opinions, they got thoughts.

318
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is not just their passion.

319
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: This is their life, right, this is what makes them

320
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: fain So Jed's asked about the quarterback situation, and he

321
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: basically said, like, obviously, when your quarterback is the highest

322
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: paid guy on your team, that's usually a good thing.

323
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Eluding due they're gonna pay brock Purty a lot of

324
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: money potentially at the end of next year. In my

325
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: entire take on contracts in general, is why we're always

326
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: in such a big rush to pay people like I

327
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes after year three, He'd won an MVP, he

328
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: was clearly a superstar. He had been to an NFC Championship,

329
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: he had won the Super Bowl. You just watched him,

330
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: You're like, this is a second coming, like Brett Favre

331
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: mixed with Aaron Rodgers. And then a lot of players

332
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: are not justin Jefferson, are not Trent Williams, are not

333
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald Like I've never seen anything. Most guys, even

334
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: the good ones, are like, oh, let's see you do

335
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: it again. And the moment the Super Bowl happened, or

336
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: really this as the super Bowl run happened with the

337
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. No matter what happened with perty, he

338
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: could have thrown fifty touchdowns, you know, in December and

339
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs and the Niners win the Super Bowl and

340
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: they blew everyone out, he still would have been a

341
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: polarizing player next because they'd be like, well, can he

342
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: do it again? What's he actually worth? And if he

343
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: had flopped right, if they had lost that game against

344
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: the Packers or lost that game against the Lions, everyone

345
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: would have crushed him. But it was all gonna be

346
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: determined in twenty twenty four. What does he look like

347
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: this year? Does he have another season where he's clearly

348
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: one of the best NFC quarterbacks, Because if he has

349
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: two and a half seasons of playing like one of

350
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: the better NFC quarterbacks, the reality is his value is

351
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: not really arguable. Now I would say, like I would struggle,

352
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: and I get the cap keeps going up, like I'm

353
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: not very comfortable unless he's my homegrown all pro guard

354
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: given free agent guards seventeen eighteen million dollars, because I

355
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: don't think the margin far error is very big there.

356
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm signing this guy just because he's a free agent.

357
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a thirty or forty percent markup, and

358
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: then if he is just an average or above average guy,

359
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: we're at a disadvantage. He'd better be a top four

360
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: or five player at his position where I'm misallocating funds.

361
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: It's no different than that with quarterbacks. Like listen, I

362
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott. He's a very good quarterback, but once

363
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: you start paying him premiums, like there's a lot of

364
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: pressure on And listen, Dak has been very successful during

365
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: the regular season. He just hasn't gotten done in the playoffs.

366
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: He's gonna have. You know, when you look back at

367
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: his career, it's going to be defined if he's ever

368
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: able to get over the hump, but he's gonna be

369
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: very rich. I have a ton of Pro Bowls and

370
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: been a very very good starting quarterback for the Cowboys.

371
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: I think the hard part with Perty a little like

372
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Dak early on, was like he gets to inherit this

373
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: great team. Now I've said forever if you if you

374
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: watch the forty nine ers and you can't watch and

375
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: say this guy's really good, then we don't have anything

376
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: in common with football. But there's a difference between like

377
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: I watched the guy, he's really good. It's like, are

378
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: you comfortable giving him two hundred million dollars guaranteed? Because

379
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: that's a whole nother conversation, and a lot of people

380
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: have talked. Perty's best attribute has not been his contract,

381
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: It's been his play. He's been excellent. But obviously the

382
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: ability to have a eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars quarterback,

383
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, it is a huge curve ball for your

384
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: organization to build out. Like no one else in the

385
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: league has that right now. Even the other top young

386
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks make a decent amount of money. C J. Stroud

387
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: was a second pick in the draft. Sounds like a

388
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollar contract, and his yearly numbers are

389
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: like eight and a half nine seven, like in that range, right,

390
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: Perty is even if CJ. Stroud, I don't I haven't

391
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: had his contract up, is making eight million next year

392
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: in his second season, Perty is eight or seven million

393
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: dollars cheaper, Like that's a player or two. And I

394
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: just think we're too quick to rush. Let's just see

395
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: it play out and if this year doesn't go as

396
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: well and he kind of takes a step back, then

397
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: we got another year under contract. If he goes out

398
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: and he wins the MVP and the forty nine ers

399
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: finally win the Super Bowl, then yeah, you don't have

400
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: a choice. But sometimes when you just let like one

401
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: year and that's basically what this is now. I know

402
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: he was good that first year, but like this year

403
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: start to finish and this year is gonna be different,

404
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: right because there was a feeling out process. Everyone's gun

405
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: him for the Niners. They're the NFC champs. No one

406
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: is taking pretty lightly. And listen, I've been saying this forever.

407
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: The media's like thinks perty's very average. Andy Reid thinks

408
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: he's good. Steve Spagnola thinks he's good. I saw I

409
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: watched Dan Campbell's press conference at the owner's meetings. He

410
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: thinks he's damn good. So the league thinks he's really good.

411
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: I think he's good. But before we pay large sums

412
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: of money, and there's a difference, like would I pay

413
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: him right now four years one hundred million, Yeah, wouldn't hesitate.

414
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: Would I give him four years one hundred and eighty

415
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: million dollars? Yeah, we're talking something different then, so I

416
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: the money matters, like this is a business. Speaking of business,

417
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead was not pleased with the way he was disrespected,

418
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: according to himself, with the way everything played out with

419
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. And this is the hard part

420
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: about the sport. Eric Armstead, team captain, team leader, high

421
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: end player. But when you when your salary doesn't equal

422
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: your product slash games played, and you're an older player,

423
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: we got a problem. Like that was the issue. The

424
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: reason they quote unquote disrespected you. And it's not your fault.

425
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: No one wants to get hurt. But when you're not

426
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: available and I'm paying you a premium sixteen seventeen, eighteen

427
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: million dollars, it no longer adds up. So reports i

428
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: think based on him, said that they basically offered you know,

429
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: you scheduled to make almost eighteen million dollars. They wanted

430
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: him to make six with incentives to get up to

431
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: like eight or nine. So basically taking a haircut in half,

432
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: like I'm on team niners here, Like that's the right move.

433
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: And listen, you probably know he's gonna say, yeah, not

434
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: that interested. But that's part of being a healthy organization

435
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: is when you get a guy, even when you love them,

436
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: of like, this is not adding up anymore. And I

437
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: know the Jags offered him a lot of money and

438
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: he got paid, but there's there's a fine line. We're

439
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: all human beings in any time you deal with anyone's money,

440
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: whether you make eighty grand or whether you make eight

441
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: million dollars, When you start talking pay cuts, we're all

442
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: the narrator of our own story. It's gonna piss us off,

443
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: even if we've underachieved, even if we haven't been available.

444
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: No matter what, I don't blame anyone for being offended.

445
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: When your company comes to you and wants you to

446
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: take less. Sometimes it's valid though, Like sometimes it makes

447
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: sense like you're not worth this price point anymore to us.

448
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean to someone else's situation, but to us,

449
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: we can't pay you this. And I think the forty

450
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: nine ers, which clearly was very hard on them, made

451
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: the right decision. There was a story that Colleen Wolf,

452
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: who works for the NFL network, which, as Mike Florio

453
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: has pointed out, is owned by the thirty two teams.

454
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: This is not some independent organization that is just saying

455
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: things to say things. This is the owners, like call

456
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: the shots when it comes to that organization. It's why

457
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: if you're watching an NFL network, it's not going to

458
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: be the most aggressive production when it comes to being

459
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: critical of stuff players. Yeah, but in terms of owners

460
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: and operational stuff with the league. That's not going to

461
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: be their style. So when it was reported on a

462
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: NFL media podcast that Robert Salah and Woody Johnson had

463
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: an altercation, I saw that line. I was like, damn

464
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: screaming at each other. Now Woody Johnson comes out and

465
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: says unequivocally not true, disregard fake news. I wasn't there.

466
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what to believe. But one thing that

467
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: can't be argued. The Jets are kind of always a

468
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: shit show, right if this had happened between like hey, Dan,

469
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: let's use let's use this as example, Dan Campbell and

470
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Brad Quinn were kind of yelling at each other, and

471
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: then both of them are like that never happened. It's

472
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: like pretty clear they have a really good working relationship.

473
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: All it's been hunky dory. Whenever we've seen them together

474
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: these last couple of years, you'd be like, yes, that's

475
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of a weird report, that's probably not true. But

476
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: if something happens with the cowboys're like, eh, Jerry and Mike,

477
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: something's off kind of believable, right, Like, I'm sorry. One

478
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: thing I've heard about Woody Johnson not the easiest guy

479
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: to work for, and I think it's pretty reflective in

480
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: the organization's success over the last decade and a half.

481
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: So did this happen? I don't know. Honestly, I don't

482
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: really care. It does not matter. People argue all the time, professionally, personally.

483
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the real world. I mean, Woody Johnson just

484
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: said the other day that if we can't trade Zach Wilson,

485
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the team. It's like the owner,

486
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Just and I understand why

487
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to cut him and eat that whatever

488
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: it is seven eight million dollars that you'd have to

489
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: pay him. Wants no part of that, which I understand,

490
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 1: from just a dollars standpoint doesn't make sense. But from

491
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: a football standpoint, you no longer can have the guy

492
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: around like it's over. He has no trade value. No

493
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: one is trading anything for him unless either you eat

494
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: the majority of the money and the only ways on

495
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: another team, which I would guess is everyone's hoping that

496
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: you cut him. So obviously what he's trying to like

497
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: draw a line in the sand. But the story's believable.

498
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: Why because it's the Jets and sometimes when things come

499
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: out about right certain players, you go, yeah, I can

500
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: see that. You just see crazy stories sometimes about like

501
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, You're like, I don't know, it might be true.

502
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: But then you see a story about certain guys like

503
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, You're like, eh, seems a

504
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: little out of character. Sometimes perception is reality. Let's be real.

505
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: A lot of times it is. And the Jets they

506
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: got a lot of weird shit going on. A lot

507
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: of owners. That NFLPA report card that came out that

508
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: gave a lot of them f's about like their training room,

509
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: their locker room, their cafeteria. We're not happy. I think

510
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: I saw who was the owner. One owner said I

511
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: didn't write it down that thought it was just like

512
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: a media skeptical like this isn't a constructive back and

513
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: forth where you meet with the NFLPA and they go, hey,

514
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: we got these negative marks for you. What's your opinion

515
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: or how can you go about fixing it? It just

516
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: gets released and then we all talk about it, and

517
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: there were a lot of f minuses going around. I

518
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: think I saw Josh Harris, who in fairness took over

519
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: the team from Dan Snyder. I don't put any of

520
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: this on him, said he didn't even know an F

521
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: minus was possible. That's what happens when you take over Washington.

522
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: I do think here's the problem. And in my experience,

523
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: I've only worked for one team. It was top notch.

524
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Learie spends every dollar when it comes to improving anything,

525
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: whether it's the draft room, there's a training room, whether

526
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: it's any facility, he'll he'll cut a check. He's very

527
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: pro money, do what we gotta do. But this isn't

528
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: college football. So a lot of these guys, if you're

529
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: coming from LSU, if you're coming from Alabama, if you

530
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: come from Georgia, if coming from Ohio State, come from Oregon,

531
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: it's the taj Mahal because they had to use that

532
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: to recruit you. The recruiting in the NFL is like

533
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: it's your game check. Hey, I pay you ten million

534
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Right, Sorry, our cafeteria isn't a little

535
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: bigger now. It is bad business. If you have a

536
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: shitty weight room where your cafeteria doesn't have good food

537
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: like that, that's on you, right even Bidwell, I judge

538
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: him for charging the containers for guys to take home,

539
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: like what are you doing? But if you like, don't

540
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: like the chairs, or if your locker room isn't glamorous enough, like,

541
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: that's not this industry. This industry, it's completely different. I

542
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: would imagine for a lot of younger players who are

543
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: now playing in Power five, all these big time programs,

544
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the

545
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: aesthetic of it all, right, but it's not like do

546
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: you need these flashing lights and seven lockers per guy

547
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: with an Xbox and a TV screen in it? Probably not.

548
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: And I would imagine a lot of NFL teams like

549
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of stupid. We're not going to do that.

550
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: And there's a fine line like if you're putting yourself

551
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: at a competitive advantage training wise, lifting wise, eating wise,

552
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: then you're bad at business, like you're fucking more on

553
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: your cheap skate. But if you're doing if it's not

554
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: hindering any player's ability to get better, to get the

555
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: proper nutrition to train, then I wonder if some of

556
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: this stuff's a little overrated. And last, but not least,

557
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: before we dive into Fugazi Friday, is the NFL is

558
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: going to auction off the Christmas games because it wasn't

559
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: technically on the schedule. I think of the media buy

560
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: and Pro Football Talk said that potentially like fifty million

561
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: million dollars a game, So it's just an extra free

562
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. So not only did they steal the

563
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: real estate and the land from the NBA and basically

564
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: render them irrelevant on that given day, they're profiting from

565
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: it immediately. And let's face it, these networks are going

566
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: to line up to pay that. Well, if you have

567
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: people lined up in bidding, who's to say they can't

568
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: get seventy five million dollars for each game and get

569
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars of something that they

570
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: just invented from nowhere that wasn't going to exist before

571
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: free revenue. And this is what I think when Cuban

572
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: said pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered when you touch shit,

573
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: I do think there was an element of jealousy. And

574
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: when you're on top everything you do, you're able to

575
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: monetize and you're able to make more money when you're popular, right,

576
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: And I think it pisses a lot of people off

577
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: the media obviously always they hate it. I mean let's

578
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: face it, they hate a lot of successful people when

579
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: it comes to business. I don't know if they were

580
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: like taught that as a kid. I don't know if

581
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: they learned that in Big Jay journalism school. But their

582
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: general take on any successful stuff when it comes to

583
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: business is always like, oh, the corrupt, corrupt capitalism. It's like, yeah,

584
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: welcome to the real world. And the NFL has figured

585
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: out a way to capitalize on this better than anyone.

586
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's gonna last forever. In

587
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: the immediate future, all you can say is chi ching okay.

588
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: Fugazi Friday. I had someone he was a restaurant owner

589
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: who was like, you know, I come to podcasts for

590
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: positive encouragement and uplifting and all you guys on Fugazi Friday.

591
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: It's such a negative complaint session. Turns out he was

592
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: a business owner and he was mad about the tipping thing.

593
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: It's like one thing, another guy's like, stop talk talking

594
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: about tipping. It's like, guys, Fugazi Friday is not going anywhere.

595
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to pick some other Fougazi Fridays that

596
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: aren't tipping related. I also think, for the most part, universally.

597
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: Everyone that interacted with this was not saying like I'm

598
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: not going to tip if it's good service, but the

599
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 1: notion that you just have to tip without good service,

600
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: that's what everyone was talking about. I think we've all

601
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: been on the same page there, but I took some

602
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: screenshots of some other ones Fugazi Friday. The unsubscribed button

603
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: process for spam emails has to be up there with

604
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: the fakest thing. Ever, it doesn't help matter how many

605
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: times you do it, those emails are still coming, and

606
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: starting a new email address to avoid the spam is

607
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: harder than it sounds with all the legitimate contacts and

608
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: businesses who rely on reaching you through that email. That's

609
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: a great point because I have several times, like a

610
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of people hit that little unsubtubscribe and you just

611
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: you can't keep track of every spam email you get.

612
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: And then you realize, like I unsubscribe from you know,

613
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Restoration Hardware or Nike Golf or Dell Computers. It's like

614
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: they're just relentless. Now, I would say the good thing

615
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: with email is I think we're so numb to just

616
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: kind of moving through it. But like most people now,

617
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: our businesses are pretty interconnected to getting emails and emailing people,

618
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: and sometimes things get lost in the shuffle because you

619
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: got so much clutter. One thing with a spam phone call,

620
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy, like, yeah, I don't need to pick

621
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: this up. Or if this is not a spam and

622
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: it's important that they can leave me a voicemail that

623
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: I'll probably never listen to. But if they do, then

624
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: I can figure out who it is and call them

625
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: back if necessary. But I'm with you the spam email situation.

626
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: I wonder the percentage of business that is generated from

627
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: spam emails? Right that actually a lead from a spam

628
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: email turns into something. Now, sometimes what's it get you? Right?

629
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: It's like, God, I thought I unsubscribed from Travis Matthew

630
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: and then you'll get one. You're like fifty percent sale

631
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: off all collared shirts and hats, Like shit, I'll buy

632
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: some Fugazi Friday. Since you're a golfer. When I pay

633
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: thirty dollars for a cart and my girlfriend is with me,

634
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: the cart costs sixty dollars, nice guy, have you to

635
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: bring her on a little golf trip if she's not playing.

636
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: But if I'm by myself, it costs thirty dollars, so

637
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: really it's thirty dollars a seat on the golf cart.

638
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: Sixty dollars for a cart is crazy, and I'm at

639
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: a private club. We usually walk, but the concept is

640
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: still there. I was gonna defend the cart fugazi because

641
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: I was at TPC the other day and I finished.

642
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: I played early in the morning. I teed off at

643
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: like seven ten, so I was done by eleven thirty.

644
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: It was so bad. I was like, I'm gonna go

645
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: hit some golf ball. And I'm not trying to act

646
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: like I'm Tiger Woods or anything like some grinder, but

647
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: it was I was like, I don't even know what

648
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: I'm doing, So I'm gonna go to the range. Well,

649
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I got up to where the cart barn is and

650
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: I said, hey, and usually you just take a cart

651
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: to go down there, Like, hey, can I take a cart?

652
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: I usually just hop in you don't even ask. But

653
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: there's only a couple of carts there, and I asked

654
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: my guy, Casey, I'm like, can I just grab one

655
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: of these? He's like, actually, we're out of carts. He's

656
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: like some days, you know, on super busy days and

657
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the pros that come there practice, they

658
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: all grab their own cart, even sometimes they come together.

659
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: It's like we don't have any. So some of it

660
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: is just based on inventory at these public courses, like

661
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: they just don't have enough golf carts for how many

662
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: people are playing the private course thing. That's pretty absurd.

663
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Now if they were charging you for your

664
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: own cart and you can't bring them, it's one thing.

665
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: A lot of these private courses charge you a fee

666
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: to just drive your own cart. Like my brother who

667
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: lives on a golf course, has his own cart, can

668
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: drive up and place on his own cart, but he

669
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: still pays I think like one hundred dollars a quarter

670
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: or two hundred dollars a quarter. Again, it's they're running

671
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: a business too, but getting charged per person in your

672
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: cart at a private course, I agree, that's a little outrageous. John,

673
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: I live in a state run by liberals. In addition

674
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: to a recent ban on plastic bags fugazzi, we also

675
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: have a ban on flavored tobacco. Tobacco. It was presented

676
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: under the figazzi of preventing the sale of methol cigarettes

677
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: to miners. Yet they also ban flavored zen pouches. Clearly,

678
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: zen is not tobacco. No, it's not. It's nicotine. They

679
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: sell flavored nicorette gum. What's next, flavored liquor? I know.

680
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: I was playing golf with a guy the other day

681
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: and I offered him a zen on like the second home,

682
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: and he's like, don't worry about it, I got my own.

683
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: And then we started talking as the round went on.

684
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: This guy lives in southern California, and in California has

685
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: banned flavored zens now, and like you said, their idea again,

686
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: like a lot of these states, the band stuff, they

687
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: overregulate everything is against you know, miners having the ability

688
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: to buy them. So this guy said he was gonna

689
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: buy like several logs of the flavor he likes. To

690
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: take it back. I didn't realize flavored zens were banned

691
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: until my brother and I were talking. He's like, yeah,

692
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't have the ability to get the coffee z

693
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 1: ins here. I'm with you. That's some of these ideas.

694
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: This is why, like I don't even know, it's just

695
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: it's beyond stupid, the nitpicking on things that make absolutely

696
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: no sense. I'd like to see the data too, Like

697
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: how many youth is trying to buy the flavored zens also,

698
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: isn't the zen nicotine has a lot of positives for you,

699
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: like the one thing with tobacco, I get right, the cancerous,

700
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: the fiberglass. It's not good for you chewing tobacco. Now.

701
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: I never chewed because it just didn't like a lot

702
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: of my friends did growing up. A lot of my

703
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: friends still do. It never worked in my body, like

704
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: it just kind of made me sick. Even for as

705
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: much as I wanted to do, like in high school,

706
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: to be cool or whatever, I could never do. It

707
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: couldn't stomach it. The zins are incredible. I mean I've

708
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: been going through like a ten a day. They're not

709
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: really a ten. They're plastic, but you know what I mean. California, man,

710
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: you never know what they're going to ban and allow,

711
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: and they're usually on the opposite ends of the spectrum

712
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: of like this makes no sense and neither does this.

713
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: That's why you're boys. In Arizona. For Forgazi Friday, I

714
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: go to a gym where at one point I used

715
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: to grab a protein shake after every workout. Those protein

716
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: shakes were five dollars and have jumped to eight dollars.

717
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: I love these shakes, but not as much as a

718
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Starbucks coffee. Here's a reality my gym. I guess the

719
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: last two gyms I've worked at have had a cafeteria,

720
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: the one I had in the area and now the

721
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: one I have here in Scottsdale, and both of them

722
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: had sweet protein shakes. I mean, it just fucking melt

723
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: in your mouth. There's always a huge markup on those, there,

724
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: really is. It makes no sense if you're a protein

725
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: shake GUYE. Now I understand sometimes if you're working out

726
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: in the morning and then go into the office, it's

727
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: not like you can go home if you are coming

728
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: home after the workout. The amount of money, it's no

729
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: different than buying coffee and not going to Starbucks. The

730
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: bang for your buck is a dramatic gap between the two.

731
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, sometimes you go to Starbucks one it's convenient too.

732
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just don't want to make coffee. But we

733
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: all know at this point in time, the difference is

734
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: in the cost. I did the other day. I got

735
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: a They have this mocha java smoothe that is like

736
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: mocha java. I get peanut butter in there, and as protein,

737
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: it's it's excellent it's elite. It's also ten dollars, so

738
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: I know every time I buy it it's stupid that

739
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: I bought it. But yesterday I really wanted one, and

740
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: I also told them to throw in a shot of espresso.

741
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: The smoothie was fourteen dollars. So I complain about it,

742
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to because I've acknowledged, like the

743
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: first time. It's like, like you said, sometimes things jump,

744
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: but hey, we live in like historically inflationary times, Like

745
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: what about the month the month data no over the

746
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: last three years. I saw something the other day that

747
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot of goods and services have generated a jump

748
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: between twenty to twenty five percent, And I was listening

749
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: to a finance podcast that talked about, like typically everything

750
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: constantly goes up over a period of time. You know,

751
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: the jump we've had historically would have been over like

752
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: a seven to nine year period. It happened in like

753
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: twenty four months. It's jolting. But even if things are

754
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: expensive at the store, it's still cheaper to do it,

755
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: whether it's coffee set of Starbucks, whether it's a protein

756
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: shake instead of your gym, It's always going to be

757
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: that way. It always is now there's a convenience fact

758
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: like sometimes like I don't really want to do the dishes,

759
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: but that's lazy. That's with me being lazy. Fugazi Friday.

760
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: For you people who ride the elevator for one floor,

761
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: unless you have a physical limitation, heavy baggage like groceries

762
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: and luggage for kids to pack, take the stairs. The

763
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: elevators should not be packed with people going up one story.

764
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: I agree. I don't. I don't have anything to add there,

765
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: Fugazi Friday. For the first time this year, now what

766
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: stair situation? That's always a question? Are there stairs? Are

767
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: they easily accessible? For the first time this year, I

768
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: tried watching the NBA. I turned on YouTube TV to

769
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: watch the Lakers Bucks game. I watched that the other night.

770
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Lebron just conveniently not playing. Lakers won anyway, and it

771
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: was blacked out in my area. I try HBO next

772
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: and same thing. The NBA is a joke and doesn't

773
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: even let people watch if they want to watch. Reason

774
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: why the NFL is king. I've never had a blackout

775
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: problem on my YouTube TV any game, so I don't

776
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: quite know what's going on there. I can't speak to it.

777
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an NBA thing or more

778
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: of a coverage thing. Sometimes the games are blacked out. Yeah,

779
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where you live. If you live in

780
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: Milwaukee or LA, it's on the local broadcast maybe or

781
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: vice versa. But to me, the blackout thing in general

782
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: is like, I get, we got contracts, I get we

783
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: got rules, But in twenty twenty four, under no circumstance

784
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: should any game ever be blacked out? Let the consumer

785
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: consume we got too many options. There's a million things

786
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: to watch. If you give anyone a reason to like, oh,

787
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: this is too big of a headache, change in the

788
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: channel you've lost and the loyalty and listen, the loyalty

789
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: in my generation as a consumer has never been shorter ever.

790
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: So you just you gotta figure that out. I can't

791
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: speak to your exact problem, but uh, happy for GAUSI Friday,

792
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: Okay Middlecoff mailbag at John Middlecoff firing those dms Instagram

793
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: wide open. Two f's start with Clay. Question for the mailbag.

794
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: Do you think Lane Kiffin ever gets another shot in

795
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: the National Football League seems like he's mature or do

796
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: you think he would leave for Bama and he's just

797
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: content at the college level. It's a good question. He

798
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: makes about nine ten million dollars at Old Miss, and

799
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: he's turned them into a juggernaut. I mean, they're winning

800
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: double digit games. I saw something on my social media

801
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: feed the other day. He thinks this is gonna be

802
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: one of their most talented teams. He's crushed the transfer portal.

803
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 1: The Bama thing is clearly gone for the foreseeable future.

804
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: You know, I think Kaylin Dubor is getting three years

805
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: at minimum. So you know, the job was just open

806
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: and it didn't feel like they wanted Lane. So to

807
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: think that I would never say never. But to me,

808
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin probably is more likely to get LSU if

809
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: Brian anything weird whatever happened there. And let's face it,

810
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's gonna have pressure next year. I know he

811
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: had the Heisman Trophy winner, but he went nine and

812
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: three in Florida. If Billy Napier doesn't win, he's getting fired.

813
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: And to me, if you're Florida, this guy's killing it

814
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: in the SEC, I think they would be all over

815
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. I wonder if Lane's just made for college,

816
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: like it just works for him. He's good at the

817
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: transfer portal, he's good at social media. You make so

818
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: much money now, I kind of if I was a bettman,

819
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: I think he's just in the SEC for a while,

820
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: and I think you would Florida is the most likely

821
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: place of Billy Napiers fired. How do they who would

822
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: they want to hire over Lane Kifvin, especially if he

823
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: wins ten plus games? Again, it's like this guy's doing

824
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: this at all, miss What do you think he'd do

825
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: for you? Guys? Do you think the Bills can still

826
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: win the AFC East next year? The last two seasons,

827
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphin has had four game leads and blew the division.

828
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: That being said, the Bills lost a lot of key

829
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: players and leaders in the locker room. What are your

830
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: thoughts on how the division plays out. I haven't looked

831
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: at the odds yet, but I would bet on the Bills.

832
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: I would be stunned if the Bills don't win it.

833
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna be god awful. The Jets, I mean,

834
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: just got a lot of issues NonStop. I'm sorry. The

835
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: Dolphins are just dramatically worse. They just are. I mean,

836
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: they lost their second best player. I just this is

837
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: the Bill's dis until they don't win it. How could

838
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: you bet against them? And I know you guys have

839
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: some holes. You have the best quarterback by a country mile.

840
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Rodgers is kind of an unknown right now.

841
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen compared to Tua It's like having Steph

842
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: Curry compared to like, I don't know, the eighteenth best

843
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: quarterback or I mean point guard. It's not a fair fight.

844
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: The advantage you have with that quarterback over the Dolphins,

845
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: who are clearly the second best team in the division,

846
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: I would say it's pretty wide. Here's a question. Tomorrow night,

847
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: I'll be going to a baseball game at the Tokyo

848
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: Dome while on vacation. Here, are there any international sporting

849
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: events you've been to or want to go to? Very excited?

850
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: You know a good friend of mine, Brian Hawkins, who

851
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: played baseball at Saint Mary's, the school that makes the

852
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament in basketball. One of his good buddies who

853
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: he played with in school was like a fringe triple

854
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: A guy got a couple of year contract to go

855
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: play in Japan and him and some of his friends

856
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: some of his teammate went to go watch Kyle play instead.

857
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: It was one of the coolest experiences he's ever been

858
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: a part of. This guy's been to SEC games, has

859
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: been to big college foot like, he's been to other events,

860
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: and so he's never seen anything like it. The Japanese

861
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: baseball game, like the high level of it. I guess

862
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: one inning, everyone blows up a balloon and they all

863
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: let it go at the same time they go to

864
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: the top. So I that'd be an incredible experience. I

865
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: would say would love to see the All Blacks play

866
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: in New Zealand. I'd love to see a big EPL

867
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: game right Manchester City versus Manchester United or you know

868
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: some of that action. I haven't really thought about it.

869
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: I would love to go to the British Open, the

870
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: golf tournament at Saint Andrew's specifically. That'd be pretty sweet,

871
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: but enjoy it's that's a cool life experience. I would

872
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: love to go to Japan. I've heard incredible things about Japan.

873
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 1: It's clean, safe, great food, or just an awesome place.

874
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: Right up my Alley born and raised, Casey resident and fan.

875
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: We have it so great right now, and I'm living

876
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: in a fairy tale that you are podcast question when

877
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: you sit down to record, I'm curious what your processes

878
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: start to finish, What software do you record on? What

879
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: camera are you using for such a quality? I have

880
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: a notebook, and before I've pressed record, I've obviously kind

881
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: of put together a show of what's going on. I

882
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: also have a kind of a running thing on my

883
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: phone in terms of topics and angles and things that

884
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk about. So I don't just freelance

885
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: once I hit record. So it's I spend, you know,

886
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: I mean sick way every day, every hour thinking about it,

887
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: and any idea comes in I throw in. Obviously, certain

888
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: days are easier than other days in terms of recording.

889
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: We have a pretty big setup here. My guy James

890
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: flew in from Jersey who is producer here on the show,

891
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: and set it up. We got a Sony camera, I

892
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 1: got this fancy mike my production In terms of before

893
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: I send it off to my people, I just recorded

894
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: on garage band. So but the cameras, I think, pretty expensive,

895
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: high end Sony camera. They're just staring right at me.

896
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: Got a lot of chefs in the kitchen here figuring

897
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: this thing out. I wouldn't I wouldn't have known what

898
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: to do before that. I just had one of those

899
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: like twenty eight dollars yogies. I'm a big fan of

900
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: the podcast, appreciate your rants with Colin. I'm a Saints

901
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: fan who got into the NFL in the first season

902
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: of the Breeze Peyton Marriage Good time to start. All

903
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: I've known is high level. However, I've been so disappointed

904
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: in the team's willingness to settle for mediocrity since the

905
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: end of that era. I was out on Derek Carr

906
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: signing from day one and can't believe that Dennis Allen

907
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: still is a job. What on earth are they trying

908
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: to achieve. I'm also disappointed with Mickey Loomis, as I

909
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: imagine he'd know better than settling for mediocrity. Me and

910
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: my girlfriend are currently searching for a rental in a

911
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: town where the demand is much higher than the supply.

912
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: It's challenging. The other day, we could have taken an

913
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: apartment that was kind of okay but far from my

914
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: deal decent kitchen in a living room, but zero storage

915
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: space and no window bedroom. Later that day, I asked

916
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: myself if taking this apartment would be like the Saints

917
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: settling for Derek Carr. I know that it would be

918
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: the most mediocre thing to do. I also asked myself

919
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: if I was an NFL GM and I was given

920
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: the option of having cars by one hundred percent guaranteed

921
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: quarterback or a coin flip, would either land me Patrick

922
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Zach Wilson, which would I take? Well, obviously

923
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: I would flip the coin. So I said no to

924
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: the mediocre apartment, and now I'm left asking myself why

925
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: the heck the Saints choose to do it. I think

926
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: the difference in apartment hunting is, I don't know exactly

927
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: where you live, but there are going to be a

928
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of options. Even if, like you said, the demand

929
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: is higher than the supply, there are just gonna be

930
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: a lot of places you can find to rent out,

931
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: whether it's apartments, maybe a condo, Maybe you can find

932
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: some cheap house guys like they're just with quarterbacks, they're

933
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: just or not. And I guess what you're arguing is

934
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: the thought of the unknown is better than knowing you

935
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: get an average at best player. The problem is in

936
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 1: the coin flip analogy, Patrick Holmet Mahomes isn't an option,

937
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: so you're really looking at the coin flip. Would I

938
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: flip a coin to just get a guy better than

939
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Well, free agents, none of those exist, right?

940
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: And in the draft, I forget last year, you guys

941
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: didn't even have the pick that was part of it.

942
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: Didn't the Eagles have your draft pick? Am I off

943
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: on my ears? Pretty sure the Eagles had your draft pick? Right.

944
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: If the Eagles didn't have your draft pick, maybe it's

945
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: a different story. But I do think that had to

946
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: play in to the fact. So I think they're simply

947
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: looking at it like, could Derek Carr get us to

948
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs? And let's face it, that'd be a successful season?

949
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: Clearly answer year ones. No, I do think that you

950
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 1: should be more hopeful this year given the Kubiak signing.

951
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 1: I just think your offense could be better. My guy,

952
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: Keith Williams, the wide receiver coach, is really good. So

953
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: like Derek is what he is. When he plays really well,

954
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: he's probably the twelfth or thirteenth best quarterback. When he's bad,

955
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: he's in the twenties. So can you just get like

956
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: the thirteenth fourteenth best quarterback out of him and can

957
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: you win ten games? That's what the Bucks figured out

958
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield. I feel you though sucks. No one

959
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: wants to watch a team where you feel like you're

960
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: just kind of spinning your wheels. I think the other

961
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: problem is when it comes to quarterback situations, A lot

962
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: of teams are scared, scared of the unknown. A lot

963
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: of teams are scared of the unknown, and that's where

964
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: your coin flip. Are you better off? Sean Payton was

965
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: not like, just get Russell Wilson, We'll figure it out.

966
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 1: Sean Payton has more confidence then. Let's face it, Dennis Allen,

967
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: just use the game time code used to get some

968
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: Orioles tickets for the opener. Have a good one, bro.

969
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: You know the thing with the Oriols I think are

970
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. Now, longtime listener, I heard you and Colin

971
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: talking about Dion's son, Dion's comments with respect to his

972
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: son Shadoor and Travis Hunter essentially controlling their own fate

973
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: in the twenty five draft. I'm a Cowboys fan. I

974
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: went to school with Dak and have been following the

975
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 1: team long enough to now to have a good sense

976
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: for how Jerry in the front office will operate. When

977
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: I heard Dion's comments about wanting to go to quote

978
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: unquote certain cities and nowhere cold. I immediately thought it

979
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: doubt Jerry loves the bright lights and of course his

980
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: personal affection for Dion. With Dak's potentially hitting free agency

981
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: next year and their likely lower first round draft slot,

982
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the likelihood of Shador to Dallas.

983
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with shad Or Sanders. Obviously, early on

984
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: in the season, he's talented, he's got a big arm,

985
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: He's a good athlete, comes from incredible genetics. I mean,

986
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: he's but like, as the season went on and we

987
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: could argue their O line sucked and they've made a

988
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: change of coordinator, there was a lot going on. Like

989
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: to me, he is not some elite prospect right now.

990
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: He's an intriguing prospect. Anytime you're an intriguing prospect, you

991
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: don't get to dictate the terms of where you go.

992
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: This is not the NBA, where team you know, agents

993
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: and players have been doing it forever. The NFL never

994
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: operates like that. It's happened twice kinda. I mean, ultimately

995
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers got Philip Rivers and some picks right or no?

996
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: That yeah, no was Philip Rivers. So I I don't know.

997
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: I I think we're so far away. Let's just see

998
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: how the guy plays this year. Let's see how he

999
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: plays because the colder weather cities, Like, isn't he playing

1000
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: in Denver? That's why I don't colin colder weather cities.

1001
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: Is in Denver? Freezing cold? I think sometimes you know,

1002
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: in Dion's perspective, Deon's an all time great, dominant, elite

1003
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: ass kicking player, could have played any era, anytime, anywhere

1004
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,479
Speaker 1: and dominated, Like is that Shador Sanders? Maybe it turns

1005
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: out to be, but it feels like you put a

1006
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him. Now they like the pressure.

1007
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: I get it all, and I'm I'm pro Dion because

1008
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: for all the talk with Dion's old school, which I

1009
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: appreciate about him, but I do think it's a lot

1010
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: of pressure to put on your son when your team,

1011
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, is your team any good? Because if team'sn't

1012
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: that good, it's very challenging. The Dak situation, it's definitely

1013
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: a possibility, but I guess we'll see over the next

1014
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't know a couple months, like do they get

1015
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: a formal agreement or not? Do they just play the

1016
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: season out? Because if they just play this season out,

1017
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: then it's definitely an option. I'd like to hear your

1018
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Jags free agency spree and our upcoming

1019
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: draft needs. Were light on media coverage, I'd be lying

1020
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: if I knew your roster that well, I don't. The

1021
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: two free agent signings that come to my mind Gabe Davis,

1022
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: which I saw Doug talking about at the owner's meetings. Obviously,

1023
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: you know big body can run. He's made some big

1024
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: plays over the years for the Bills. It's a guy

1025
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: that's used to being part of a winning operation. I

1026
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: totally understand that signing, and clearly they signed him knowing that,

1027
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: like Calvin Ridley was kind of on the fence, makes

1028
00:57:56,080 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Good signing. I like that signing. Uh.

1029
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: The Eric Armstead one, I get it right, you keep

1030
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: doubling down on your defensive line. He's a really high

1031
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: character leader, comes from a winning operation. A lot of

1032
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. So if you just look at it, like

1033
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,959
Speaker 1: if we get the most out of these two guys,

1034
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: We're not getting these guys from random teams, like these

1035
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: guys have been used to going to the playoffs every

1036
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: single year. The thing with Eric, he just can't stay

1037
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: on the field. He's had planner fasciitis, he's had knee issues,

1038
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: He's he's huge. One thing with Armstead, he's not like

1039
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: the biggest guy in the NFL in terms of weight.

1040
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: He might just be I mean just when you stand

1041
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: next to him. There can't There has to be a

1042
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: short list of human beings that feel bitterer than Eric Armstead.

1043
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: He's fucking massive, six to seven, three hundred pounds. He's

1044
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: got to be one of the best looking guys getting

1045
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: off the bus in the league. Trent Balky drafted him,

1046
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: so it wasn't really shocking if they keep him on

1047
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: the field. Positive addition, if he can't stay healthy, which

1048
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: sometimes older linemen struggle with, it's gonna be a problem.

1049
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: I become what seems to be a three times a

1050
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: day now daily listener. However, however you plan your content,

1051
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: you truly do it in a perfect way how I

1052
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: consume my day. First, With the Otani news scandal breaking,

1053
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: it makes me wonder if league officials feel like the

1054
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: direction of gambling has taken sports as less more or

1055
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: the exact public headache as they expected. Are they just

1056
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: waiting for an old school of minds in the public

1057
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: to change and not be concerned, or do they think

1058
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: generally fear a game shattering gambling scandal. Well, there's still

1059
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: a lot of unknown in the Otani story. One historic

1060
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: story with gambling has been players on the take, right,

1061
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: like back in the twenties. It happened in college in

1062
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: the I remember watching the Netflix documentary. I think in

1063
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: the early nineties at Arizona State. One of their star players,

1064
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, was he wasn't throwing the game, he was

1065
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: just making sure the spread was either covered or not.

1066
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: In the NFL, in basketball, in Major League Baseball, do

1067
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: you know how much money these players make? Right? So

1068
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: the star players you couldn't buy Lebron James, Steph Curry, Otani,

1069
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: a player that makes thirty forty to fifty million mahomes.

1070
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: They make too much money. Well, what happened in the

1071
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: NBA A two way contract guy was hammering his unders. Yeah,

1072
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: he'd be the small percentage of the type player that

1073
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: I guess you could buy. Even in football with the

1074
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: prop bets you can't like if I'm a random running back,

1075
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't control how many touches I get. So there's

1076
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: nothing or targets I get. I guess I could drop

1077
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: a ball on purpose if I was a wide receiver.

1078
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: But in the NFL you might get cut. So I

1079
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: think football has to worry about that less. You know,

1080
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the NBA with the player props and just some of

1081
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: these shitty teams that have these two way players making

1082
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: no money. But even a two way player in the NBA,

1083
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: what are you making a million bucks? And he's like

1084
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: giving his buddies heads up for unders for ten thousand

1085
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: dollars bets. Now, the referees are always something you have

1086
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on because anytime I can get

1087
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: a guy making a couple hundred grand, well what if

1088
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: I can give him fifty grand. Fifty grand to most

1089
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: pro athletes in the major sports is not much, but

1090
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: to a ref who makes one hundred and seventy five

1091
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: or two hundred and twenty five grand or one hundred

1092
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: grand might makes you think. So to me, the referees

1093
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: and the umpires are the guys that you have to

1094
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. I'm less worried about the players,

1095
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: definitely not worried about the coaches. I do think with

1096
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: the players. Calvin Ridley got kind, he got to spin

1097
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: it for a year. The dude on the Raptors Porter

1098
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Michael Porter's brother, Like he's gonna get banned for life.

1099
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: It's just not worth it. But I do think the

1100
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: referees there's someone you just have to keep close close

1101
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: eyes on. Really, to me, O Tani, I don't know

1102
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: if he was betting or not. I mean it kind

1103
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: of feels like he probably was. Maybe he was getting robbed.

1104
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I just don't care. I really don't. If you told

1105
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: me he bet against himself on games he was pitching,

1106
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: I would acknowledge, like that's pretty crazy. But unless that

1107
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: comes out, or betting on the angels, I just I

1108
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: can't pretend to care. I really don't in this notion.

1109
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: I've heard so many people say it of like gambling

1110
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: ruining sports. There's I heard Bill Simmons talking about that.

1111
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: There's been gambling scandals forever. We gamble right in every

1112
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: facet of life. People do, athletes do businessmen do, not

1113
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: just on sports, on life. If you put money in

1114
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: the sock market, you're kind of gambling. You're gambling on

1115
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: If you're betting on games, you taking educated guesses. I'm

1116
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: a free society guy. Get to do what you want. Obviously,

1117
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: if you work in an industry. There are regulations, right,

1118
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: you can't inside trade, But I'm a big believer. I'm like, yeah,

1119
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: people are gonna make mistakes. Most people that are breaking

1120
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: the rules or laws like kind of know what they're

1121
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: doing when they're doing it. Like not many of them

1122
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: are like, hey, I was kind of naive to the

1123
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: fact they know they know what they're doing. So I

1124
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: just I'm not as phased by Oh the gambling, Oh

1125
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: it's so accessible on your phone. I didn't know this.

1126
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: Colin said, the average best four dollars. You know, most

1127
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: people aren't betting that much money. The volume
