Okay, football, football, 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: and more football. Let's dive into the NFL Combine. Last year, 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: remember it felt like it was gonna be the last 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: year in Indianapolis. I've been in the Combine several times 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: in my life. It's a fantastic place to have the Combine. 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: Anyone listening to this in different industries that have been 64 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: there for conventions, it is set up perfectly even in 65 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: the winter because you never really have to go outside 66 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: unless you're going to the bars at night, and then 67 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: you kind of do. But in terms of the Combine, 68 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: everything you need is all enclosed, connected through hotels into 69 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: the convention center. It's fantastic and last year the Indianapolis 70 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: held it for a couple more years. I still think 71 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: it's inevitably gonna end up in Los Angeles, but for 72 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future, the next couple of years, it's going 73 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: to be an indie and a growing controversy right now 74 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: with the Combine is it has started a couple of 75 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: years ago with Sean McVay and in fairness, the Rams 76 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: didn't have any picks and he's like me and my 77 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: coaches are not coming to the Combine. And Mike Silver 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: a couple days ago, who has a podcast on this 79 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: network open Mic, tweeted out that a lot of people 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: followed them, The Jets, the Packers, the forty nine ers 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: are not sending coaches to the Combine, and I think 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: someone in the league, starting with the owners and the 83 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: commissioner and the league office needs to get ahold of 84 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: this because one of the reasons the NFL has lapped 85 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: these other sports, basketball, baseball is because of television. They 86 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: are the number one television show in America. And the 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: reason coaches in college and in pro football, coaches make 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: so much money is because of television and television revenue 89 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: and ultimately what this combine is. And for a long 90 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: period of time, at least my entire life as a kid, 91 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: and then once I started working the league and going 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: to it, the workouts were in the morning. Well now 93 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: they've flipped it to the workouts being at night. Why TV. 94 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: They want to have good television ratings. This is all 95 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: about TV. And the football coaches, especially the head coaches 96 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: and the coordinators are a big you know, they are 97 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: major television characters in this whole thing called the NFL. 98 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: The quarterbacks, the star linemen, the head coaches, the coordinators, 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: they all play a role in the revenue generation that 100 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: comes from CBS, NBC, ABC. Now this is on NFL network. 101 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: But if I'm the league, I need to kind of 102 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: nip this in the button. I need to do it quick. 103 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: Head coaches and coordinators and I get listen. A lot 104 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: of coaches, you know, view will down upon the scouting 105 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: community and view some of the stuff that happens there 106 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: is overrated, especially this combine, and listen. We can argue 107 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: that all day long, and I'd even be an agreement 108 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: in some of their arguments. But when it comes to 109 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: your presence, there's a reason when we turn on the 110 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: TV and there's Belichick, and there's Pete Carroll and there's 111 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, these guys get interviewed and go into the 112 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: booth with Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah, and they did 113 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: for years when Mayok was doing it. It's important because 114 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: this football there's no games happening for a long, long 115 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: period of time. So your most important events to keep 116 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: this league rolling are the combine, free agency, and then 117 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: the draft. And this is one that's literally televised with 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: the coaches and the general managers and attendance. So when 119 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: I get Kyle Shanahan, Lafleur and Salah and all their 120 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: coaches not attending, like I got a problem. If I'm 121 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: the league, I need to figure this out and I 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: need to mandate these guys come at least when the workouts. 123 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: If you don't want to do the media interview. Okay, whatever, 124 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't care, but I need you. When the workouts 125 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: are going on in the facility, everyone else is there. 126 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: So this notion that these guys like know something that 127 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Bill Belichick doesn't, I find kind of laughable. 128 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: And I understand if you go, well, we don't the 129 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: first or second round pick, well, okay, that's fine. You 130 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: got a bunch of other picks. And part of it, 131 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: it's not even about the draft. It's about the television show. 132 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: It's about the revenue generation. It's the reason that Kyle 133 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: Shanahan makes thirteen million dollars because of television, and it's 134 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: only going to grow. If they don't get a hold 135 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: of this, it's becoming a problem. And this is a 136 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: major revenue generator for the league, and it's important time 137 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: for the league because nothing's going on and they get 138 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: a major event. So these guys were just the first movers. 139 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people will inevitably follow if 140 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: the league doesn't kind of draw a line in the sand. 141 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: And I would expect in the next year or two 142 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: something to happen because I can't have my head coaches 143 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: not attending this event. Let's talk about the combine for 144 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: a second, because there are positives and negatives with it. 145 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: From a positive standpoint, like in the NBA, for example, 146 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't have to give my clients medical information to 147 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: certain teams. I get to pick and choose where that 148 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: information goes. In the NFL, the top players all attend 149 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: to combine and they all receive a long physical from 150 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: every team in the league. So every team in the 151 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: NFL gets the medical information for these players, which I 152 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: don't know in a physical sport where a lot of 153 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: guys get hurt, is very very important. I don't know 154 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: what industry you're in, but if your company was going 155 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: to acquire another company, what's one of the first things 156 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: you do. You get their books. You get an inside look. Now, 157 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: just because you see the books of another company, you 158 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: might be wrong on determining they won't be successful or 159 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: they will. Just like a lot of doctors, when they 160 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: get the medical information, say I would not draft this guy. 161 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he has an issue with a shoulder, an 162 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: issue with an elbow, an issue with the knee. And 163 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: they're proven time and time again to be wrong, and 164 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: sometimes they're proven to be right. It's all somewhat subjective. 165 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: They are making educated I wouldn't even it's stronger than 166 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: a but observations based on the information that have that 167 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: they get and the medical is by far the most important. 168 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: And second would be while short the interviews, because first 169 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: impressions and meeting someone in person matters. I know we 170 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: live in a zoom world, but there is nothing like 171 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: looking someone in the eye, shaking their hand, and having 172 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: a conversation with them. So all the top players that 173 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: attend the combine interview with the teams. And this goes 174 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: back to the coach like, if I'm a head coach, 175 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: even if the guy's a fourth rounder, I would like 176 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: to introduce myself and meet the guy. And that is 177 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: what happens during this period of time. You get fifteen 178 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: twenty minute interviews with these guys. Now, ultimately, can I 179 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: determine good or bad as the guy a great guy 180 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: or not. I already have a lot of the information. 181 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: I have had multiple scouts for all these top prospects, 182 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: go into their schools accumulate information not just on the 183 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: player but the person, because ultimately we are going to 184 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: argue all day long how good a player is. But 185 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: we're acquiring the human being. We are acquiring the person, 186 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: and that is a huge part of this combine getting 187 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: the medical and two just getting a short feel for 188 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: the human being. Because eventually, when I dropped that guy, 189 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. Jim Washburn used to say, is that. 190 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, it's so easy for scouts to go, you 191 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: know this guy is a great player, because he is, 192 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: but then the person is very very questionable. Well, once 193 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: we dropped the guy in the second round or whatever, 194 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: you get to go, I can't wait to watch this 195 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: guy play. But then I got to deal with the 196 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: person Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday to get him 197 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: ready for Sunday. Like, that's my problem. It's why most 198 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: of the best teams tend to have Look at the Chiefs, 199 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: look at the Eagles, it seems like they got a 200 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: lot of high level guys. This is a league full 201 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: of the most talented people at their profession, but also 202 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: a league full of very very high level, high character 203 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: human beings, and most of the best teams are inundated 204 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: and led by those type people. Now, when it comes 205 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: to the workouts, how important is that? Like Bill Belichick 206 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: has always said, we don't pay guys on Sunday to 207 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: lift and jump, right, we play them to play football. 208 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: But like listen, I'm looking to buy a home right now. 209 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: And usually if you go to the if you go 210 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: on a given street and there's a home that's nineteen 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: hundred square feet and another home there's twenty three hundred 212 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: square feet, the twenty three hundred square foot home is 213 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: going to sell for more money right price per square footage. 214 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: It's just a natural. Like one home, this is gonna 215 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: be priced higher. That does not necessarily mean that one 216 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: home is better than the other. Right, you can run 217 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: a four seven and that does not determine whether you're 218 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: going to have a really good career as a wide receiver. 219 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: I e. Keenan out is going to have a ten 220 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: twelve year career as a very very high level player. 221 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: But it does somewhat determine where you're going to get rafted. 222 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: This is a marketplace. So if I'm a corner and 223 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: I run a four to five eight and there's another 224 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: corner that runs a four four two, more than likely 225 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: that guy with a four four two is going to 226 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: go higher. Now in five years, that guy with a 227 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: four four two may have no instincts and not be 228 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: able to play. But this combine and a lot of 229 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: these drills and these measurables, like just because you have 230 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: shorter arms than another center doesn't mean that that center 231 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: is going to have a longer career, but it does. 232 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: Historical comps of certain guys with certain measurables do not 233 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: typically succeed in the league. So it helps us to 234 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: get a base case of well, instead of having to 235 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: draft this guy in the second, I might be able 236 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: to get him in the fourth. The draft that I 237 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: say this every single year is a marketplace. It's not 238 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: taking guys. It's like, where can I acquire this player? 239 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: As much as I think this guy is going to 240 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: be a Hall of famer, right, Like maybe the forty 241 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: nine ers not Brock Purties a ten years hard, but 242 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: if they would have taken him in the fourth round, 243 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: it would have been moronic. Why they got him with 244 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft. It's going back to 245 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: mac Jones when the forty nine Ers is like Kyle 246 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: Shanahan wants to draft Mac Jones number three overall. I 247 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: thought that would have been the dumbest move of all time, 248 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: and it was proven. Hell, they could have just stayed 249 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: at twelve to get him. So a huge part of 250 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: the draft, and this is what this combine is, is 251 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: the measurables on the field, the running, the jumping, the 252 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: arm length, the body stuff, the height, the weight is 253 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: comparables to previous drafts, and then kind of slotting you 254 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: and getting an idea where I'm gonna have to take 255 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: this guy, probably in the top forty, where maybe I 256 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: thought I could get him pick eighty or vice versa. 257 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna have to take this guy 258 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: in the second round, but holy shitty, Ran Slow, I 259 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: might be able to get him in the fourth. And 260 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: that's a huge part of really this next week is 261 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: kind of starts stacking guys based on some of their measurables. 262 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: Separate from there on the fieldability, you have to determine 263 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: who you want on your team, but then you have 264 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: to use the measurables and the tangible stuff that happens 265 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: over the next week to kind of figure out where 266 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: you can get a guy.

Now, 303 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: one thing, if you remember a couple of years ago, 304 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, when he was the man of the year 305 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: that was before is the information on his charity came 306 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: out that you know, less than fifty percent of every 307 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: dollar that goes into his charity goes to charity. And 308 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: I saw jj watt, I think ninety seven cents on 309 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: every dollar that comes into his charity goes to charity. Listen, 310 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: I don't run a charity. Given some over my over 311 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,359 Speaker 1: the years, but don't run one. So I was hesitant 312 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: to jump on Russell's back about but just you started 313 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: looking at some of the other charities since per dollar 314 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: go to charity is like his ratio was a little low. 315 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: You know, who knows. I'm not going to call it 316 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: a sham, but some shady feels like some shady things 317 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: are going on there. But then this story comes out 318 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson wanted Pete Carroll and John Schneider fired. 319 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: And if you remember a couple of years ago when 320 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: Pete when he won the Man of the Year and 321 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: was sitting next to Roger Goodell, stories were coming out 322 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: he wanted to be like Tom Brady. He wanted to 323 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: be treated not just like a star, but if people 324 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: listen to him and let him dictate personnel moves kind 325 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: of what Aaron Rodgers bitching a moment about basically wanted 326 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: to be treated like an NBA star, where when he 327 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: says jump, management says how high. One thing Russell Wilson 328 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: just learned is the NFL is not the NBA. It's 329 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: a management coach led operation, which happens to be the 330 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: most profans right because the players don't get to do 331 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: whatever they want whenever they want. Because I got news 332 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: for you. Turns out not all players know what the 333 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: fuck they're doing when it comes to personnel. Why because 334 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: they don't really watch and it's not really their profession. 335 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Their profession is playing. Who was the guy that wanted 336 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook on the Lakers? Oh, his name's Lebron James. 337 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: How that one work out? Not great? So Russell Wilson 338 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: thought he can go to owner who remember it was 339 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: the daughter because Paul Allen had passed away, and thought 340 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: he'd get John and Pete fire And what he found 341 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 1: out was a couple of weeks later he was traded, 342 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: which based on one year, could go down just based 343 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: on the one year is one of the great trades 344 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL for Seattle and looks 345 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: like potentially one of the worst trades in the history 346 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: of the NFL for the Denver Broncos. But one thing 347 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson needed and it was always like 348 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: no one could ever quantify what his issue was. Right, 349 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: He's not like some raging asshole. He's not lazy, he's 350 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: not like doesn't care about football. Is it's like, this 351 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: guy's really weird and he's sneaky, kind of uses weirdness, 352 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: even though maybe it's just an enormous ego. It's all 353 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: about him. Sneaky, kind of got some narcisistic qualities. He's 354 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 1: just a little out there. But when you kind of 355 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: put your you know, your thumb down and you go, 356 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: I want these guys gone, like, that's some pretty bold 357 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: play and it clearly didn't work. Now, one thing when 358 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: you read the article is it goes into depth about 359 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, Jake Heap's former by U quarterback who's like 360 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: a practice squad guy who is now Russell's personal quarterback. 361 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: He wanted him around a lot the office. I think 362 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: this one's pretty simple. In most high level businesses, when 363 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: you produce as a high level you get some leeway. Right, 364 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: Colin Coward and Dan Patrick can do some things that 365 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: I cannot just like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady get 366 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: a little leash that Mac Jones and Justin Fields are 367 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: just not going to get welcome do capitalism. When you 368 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: produce for whoever your boss is, whoever your partner is, 369 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: that they're gonna let some shit slide. So I've said 370 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: this over and over, like having the office wouldn't be 371 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: that weird if they would have won twelve games and 372 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: he threw thirty eight touchdowns, But when he was worse 373 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: than Geno Smith and the team sucked, the office was 374 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: a big deal. Ultimately, the quarterback is going to spend 375 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: more time watching film more than likely than any other 376 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: player on the team, and probably an equal amount is 377 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: some coaches on the staff. So having a quote unquote 378 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: designated place, whether you want to call it an office 379 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: or a film room for the quarterback to go, isn't 380 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: that weird? And depending on the setup of the organization, 381 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: like a lot of coaches use their meeting room to 382 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: watch film, So where's the quarterback going to go? Right? 383 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: What if the quarterback coach is using the quarterback meeting 384 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: room to watch film and Russell the Navios spot. I 385 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: don't think it's that weird. And I've said before when 386 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning got there, he got special special treatment back 387 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: in the day with the Denver Broncos. Same with the 388 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: Colts because he was a film junkie part of life. 389 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: But when you don't do well and then everyone thinks 390 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: you're like a raging weirdo, and that's the problem. So 391 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: these articles can come out and Russell immediately One of 392 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: the things that jumped out to me in this article 393 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: is that this offseason, because it started getting so ugly 394 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: that he hired a new PR person. It's like, Russell, 395 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: do you not get it? Man? Can you not just 396 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: be a normal human? Now going back to him wanting 397 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: John and Pete fired, the guy that he wanted was 398 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, And I was thinking about one comparison that's 399 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: going to happen over the next six months is Sean 400 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: Payton and Drew Brees. Sean Payton and Drew Brees. One 401 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: of the things Drew Brees what he's a much better 402 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: pocket quarterback in his prime than Russell Wilson. Obviously, Russell 403 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: in theory brings a stronger arm, mobility, things that Drew 404 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: doesn't bring to the table. But I would say, of 405 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: talking the people that have played with Drew, of just 406 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: following his career, reading articles about him, just the entire 407 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: Drew Brees experience. I say the number one thing the 408 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: guy hung his hat on is being a beloved human 409 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: being inside the walls by coaches, by teammates, by literally 410 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: everybody that he went to work with. Everyone to a man, 411 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: just swore by the guy a lot. Like Tom Brady. 412 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: They just loved the human being, what he represented from 413 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: a work ethic standpoint as a guy, the way he 414 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: treated people that I think the best teammates when someone 415 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: calls you a great teammate, you know what ultimately that 416 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: means is, especially when it comes to a quarterback, no 417 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: matter how famous, no matter how rich. He could just 418 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: kind of act like a normal human when he's sitting 419 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: there at the locker with me. And that, to me 420 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: is the biggest question Mark Russell Wilson has moving forward, 421 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: is can the guy act like a normal person, Because 422 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: I think once you get to a certain spot of 423 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: fame and wealth, like if that's who you are, it's 424 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: kind of who you are, right Like Tom Brady ultimately 425 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: can sit down with some of his boys and just 426 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: kind of slam some beers, right, Drew Brees could clearly 427 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: just kind of hang out with the guys like that. 428 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: Is kind of a knock on Russell Wilson that he 429 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: doesn't have that in the back. So ultimately, like the 430 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: office in the film room, like whatever. If he was winning, 431 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: I want my quarterback watching a lot of film. If 432 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen or Justin Herbert Joe Burrow 433 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: come to me and go, hey, man, I need someplace 434 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: to watch film. You don't think those organizations are going 435 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: to put a room together so the guy has a 436 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: place to be able to watch film and take notes. 437 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: Of course they are. Whether you want to call that 438 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: an office, whether you want to call that a bunker. 439 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: You can label it whatever you want. But Russell's downfall 440 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: was one his ego started outsizing his production wanted. Guy's fired. 441 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: You're not in control, Russell. See you audios, give us 442 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: two ones, give us a bunch of players, give us 443 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of picks. You pay that money. Now, your 444 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: contract is a major, major albatrosh If you don't become 445 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: I would say immediately a top ten quarterback, I can't 446 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: be paying you these wages and you be the fourteenth 447 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: best quarterback. You got to be like the sixth to 448 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: make it worth it. And this notion of Peyton and 449 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: Breeze like a huge reason for quote unquote Peyton and 450 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Breeze was Drew Brees the guy. And I don't know 451 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: if Russell Wilson has that in the back so he 452 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: can deny this stuff all he wants, like, oh shit, man, 453 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: we all know what you were doing and you lost. 454 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes when you make a power play, whether it's small 455 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: power play, like you know, you're an eighty thousand dollar 456 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: employee and the guy you're working for it makes one 457 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: thirty and you go to the boss and you want 458 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: him gone, and it works. It's a small power play. 459 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: And some power plays are with guys making ten fifteen 460 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: million dollars in a quarterback making forty and he wants 461 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: to get rid of a guy. Sometimes it works, sometimes 462 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: it doesn't. But when it doesn't work, you know, you 463 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: come out the king. You better not miss because when 464 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: you miss it backfires. And now, let's face it, there's 465 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: nothing this PR lady. I love PR. This isn't the 466 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: fucking nineteen nineties. We live in a day and age 467 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: where there are a lot of just normal people doing 468 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: content like we see the difference between authentic content and 469 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: authentic people, Like we've never had more examples out there 470 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: to know what's real and what's not real. So I 471 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: think he either can change or he can't, and I 472 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: would bet against it. Hey last, but not least, Dan Snyder. 473 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: I don't think Dan Snyder ever wanted to sell the team, right, 474 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: A lot of these recent sales, when you think about it, 475 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: like the Denver Broncos, what feels inevitably with the Seattle Seahawks. 476 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: A lot of it is because that the kids of 477 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: the team, or in that case, the daughters in Denver 478 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: and the daughters in Seattle, don't like the team as 479 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: much as their dad, right because their dad loved football. 480 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: It was a passion to them that ultimately became this 481 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: multi billion dollar business. So the Denver Broncos, clearly they're 482 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: fighting over money. In Seattle doesn't feel as contentious. But 483 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: it makes sense why those are gonna get sold, right because, like, 484 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: say what you want about a lot of kids that 485 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: run the teams right now around the league. Let's go 486 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: Jed York or Clark Hunt or Mark Davis, Like those 487 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: guys really like football. They like football, Now are they 488 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: as good as their dad or their uncle. We can 489 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: debate that all we want, but those guys have a 490 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: passion for the sport because ultimately, it would make no 491 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: sense if you liked football to ever sell an NFL 492 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: team Like I know this, speaking like taxes were a 493 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: couple less than two months away for tax season. If 494 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: I made what I made and I was a W 495 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: two employee, I would make a lot less money than 496 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: what I make as being partners in these businesses in 497 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: ten ninety nine and not being a W two employee, 498 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: I end up making more money. Now, nothing's guaranteed. I 499 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: could make zero or I could make millions. Who knows. 500 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: It's all dependent on how much revenue we can generate, 501 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: how many deals we can do. But there's a risk involved, 502 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: and also when things go well, I benefit from taking 503 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: those risks. Right when I was a W two employee 504 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: making eighty grand, one hundred grand whatever, I was guaranteed 505 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: to make that much money. But I knew kind of 506 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: exactly what you know, my taxes I was going to 507 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: get when I lived in California forty percent of it 508 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: to say, see you right, so you would never sell 509 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: a business that was that big one too, that was 510 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: making that much money. And it's basically a tax haven 511 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: for all your cash. Because listen, I'm not trying to 512 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: act like I feel bad for any of these people 513 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: that sell a six seven billion dollar asset, But the 514 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: moment you sell the Washington Commanders for six billion dollars, 515 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: you don't take six billion dollars home. I saw on 516 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: the internet Bigcat a couple days ago. It was arguing 517 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: on the internet with one of the dudes at barstool 518 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: about like, are you a millionaire if you make a 519 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: million dollars? Of course you're not unless you have a 520 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: million dollars in the bank. If you just have zero 521 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: dollars in the bank and you gave a million dollars salary, 522 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: you are not a millionaire. Depending on what state you 523 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: live in, you're a six hundred thousand there or potentially 524 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: if you're California, probably under five hundred thousand. You know, 525 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: just it all depends. So when I sell these teams, 526 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: I paid enormous some mountain taxes where you go, well, 527 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: still three billion dollars in your pocket. Fine, but it 528 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't be easy for me if I owned one of 529 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: these teams. To just give three billion dollars to the government. 530 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: You know, I'd want to keep that money and too. Ultimately, 531 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: I would never want to get rid of the team 532 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: because I love football. I would love running the team. 533 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: It's an incredible business. It generally rates. The amount of 534 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: revenue just keeps going up and up and up. The 535 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: value of the team keeps going up and up, especially 536 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: a franchise like the Commanders for the last twenty years 537 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: have mostly sucked, yet their value is arguably seven eight 538 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: billion dollars. And this notion that Daniel Snyder is just 539 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: selling just like the Denver Broncos did or Seattle did, 540 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: is not the same. Like, I don't think by any 541 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: means this guy wants to get rid of his team. 542 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I saw Albert Brier was 543 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: tweeting about this, like some people think that, you know, 544 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: he's kind of doing this to try to play nice 545 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: and putting it on the market, but ultimately doesn't want 546 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: to get rid of it. Of course he doesn't want 547 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: to get rid of it. Now, I think that are 548 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: they going to be able to do do they have enough 549 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: evidence on him, can they force his way out? Because 550 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: a story was that he's going to refuse to sell 551 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: to Jeff Bezos, which, of course he is. Jeff Bezos 552 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: owns the Washington Post and they've been crushing Daniel Snyder 553 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: for a decade, right, No different than when The Sun 554 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: sold to this dude from Detroit that is involved in mortgages, 555 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: he refused, Well, I forget his name. The Old Son's owner, 556 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: Robert Sarver, was never gonna send to Bob Iger because 557 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: Bob Iger ran Disney who owned ESPN, and ESPN was 558 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: shiitting on Sarver for years. So he's like, you could 559 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: offer me double, I'm not giving you the team. So 560 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: this notion that it's even a story that he's not 561 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: going to give Jeff Bezos the team, of course he's not. 562 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: Now will he be willing to give someone else the 563 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: team if they hit whatever his you know, number that 564 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: he has chosen in his mind that he has to get, 565 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: whether that's six billion, six and a half billion, seven billion, 566 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: time's gonna tell I would not feel great about it, 567 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: because time and time again, Daniel Snyder does weird shit. 568 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: And the one thing he consistently does is whatever you say, 569 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: he typically does the opposite, whatever the consensuses he's on 570 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: the other side. So I think this thing could potentially 571 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: get a lot uglier before it gets decided. And if 572 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: you told me that, you know, he pulls it off 573 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: the market, or he delays this thing year in, year out. 574 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: I am fully prepared. So I just do not expect 575 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: to have some you know, easy transitions from ownership here. 576 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: You know, I do not see that one come. But 577 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: this is the story. Definitely keep worth monitoring, and I'm 578 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: sure some more uh some more buzz will come out 579 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: of the combine. Appreciate everyone listening, Audios, the volume
