6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: that the NFL season is starting next week? I can't

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: believe it. That's like I was saying it a week ago.

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: I was the one making the cliche. But now I've

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 1: just heard so many times. I'm sick of hearing that

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Greg. I can't

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: wait till I open up my timeline on Sunday and

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Scott Hansen's like, one week from today, we're watching football.

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the the irony is I am, we are.

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I am truly excited. I think we are. It's gonna

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: be uh, it's gonna be fun. But I'm just I'm

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: sick of hearing the same things on this little ramp up,

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: like let's just get there, let's just get to Thursday night.

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: I sent you the one you know last night there's

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: and this is like a billion dudes doing this, like oh,

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: because you know, college football was like it's going to

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: be the last Thursday without football until like December. I

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm that just makes me feel anxiety,

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: to be honest, like, I don't need that calendar update

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: at this point. I'm glad it's all back, but like,

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: don't tell me about I don't know. Just also, I

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: don't need presumptive tweets about what's going to happen in

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: the future in the year, Like, here's exactly what's gonna

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: happen on every week for the next four months. Let's

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: just leave it open and we'll play it by not

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: get cocky here. Let's do the and Greg if you

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: already know, and who am I kidding? You definitely already know.

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: Let me know. But let's let's do the old cousin

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: sal Bill Simmons thng um, hey, guys, let's the spread

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: for Texans k C. I don't know at all. I promise,

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: all right, what do you? What do you? Mark? And

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and Greg and then Ricky guess the spread. I'd say

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs by seven. I'll go eight and a half Chiefs

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: minus seven chief market half. Ricky I thought, I thought

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: I thought he had the answer right minus eleven. I

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: think if my math is correct. Probably isn't. No, I

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: guess it's a tie anyway. It's chiefs nine and a

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: half lay in the wood, So who wins the closest

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: somebody else figure that out? Yeah, I was one away.

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's that. This is This is uh, this

45
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: is easy to add up. It's a lot of respects.

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of respect I do wonder and I

47
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: don't want to get too deep into the desert um,

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: but the whole home field advantage thing is interesting. Are

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: they going to really factor is? You do have the

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: home field advantage still, there's been a lot of numbers

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of reality lately. The

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: home field advantage is pretty overrated to begin with that

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: the last two or three years at least, um the

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: desert has been building in a lot of home field

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: advantage when really home teams aren't aren't doing that much

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: better than than road team. Arrowhead might be a little different,

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: but Arrowhead in itself is very different than normal Arrowhead.

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what like a smattering of nineteen thousand,

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, families clustered in fours and fives does for

60
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: a home field advantage. It's gonna be weird. It's gonna

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: be weird. It's gonna be a bizarre. They're gonna have

62
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: people in there the building, right, sixteen thousand people. Yeah,

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna do the trophy ceremony. That'll be cool. Um,

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be al and Chris I am

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: fired up. My kids home, we'll be watching like that's cool.

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: But the sixteen thousand of it all, I don't know

67
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: what that's gonna feel like because they will be somewhat loud,

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: you would think. I mean, that's still a lot of people,

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: even though they're spread out, but it's just gonna look strange.

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're having the fake pumped in

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: crowd noise too, So they are I thought I read that. Yeah, yeah,

72
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: we were talking about right. I think it's I think

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: that home That airline hum that Steve Weish told us

74
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: about it so far is across the board and it

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: turns on before kickoff and turns off after the final.

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: What was the final? I was we were talking about

77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: before we started today, how I've been disappointed in what

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: feels a little bit hollow the baseball season with all

79
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: the all the COVID related drawbacks, this season, and one

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: of the ones that really stinks is like, if you're

81
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: a Washington Nationals fan, I know that organization hasn't been

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: around forever. They used to be the Expos, but that

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: was a fan base that for years they were a

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: bottom feeder. And then they go in this unlikely World

85
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: Series championship run and then there's no celebration with fifty

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: screaming fans in d C to hoist the flag and

87
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: give the rings. So at least the Chiefs get a

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: taste of that, even though it's not the same as

89
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: eighty thousand screaming fans at Arrowhead. That's a weird year.

90
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: And I checked the standings a little while ago. The

91
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Washington team stinks, so they can't even enjoy that. You

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: you could call the Nationals the Nationals, still, it's our

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Washington team that we can't call by the nickname anymore.

94
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: One little nugget from the Chiefs getting the rings the

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: other day, where Patrick Mahomes, you know, we've been up

96
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: in those suites during the combine in Indianapolis, and there

97
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: was a nice suite up in the kans in Kansas

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: City that was like decorated from head to toe with

99
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: or Nate Um probably like fourteen thousand dollars worth of

100
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: flowers where he proposed to his uh you know fiance

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: now now fiance girlfriend turned to fiance And like, I mean,

102
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: just another example of Patrick Mahomes doing things just a

103
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: little bit better than basically another any other man that

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: I could point to at this point. Yeah, I liked

105
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: how I did it one day on a on a

106
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: beach on the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, over the suite

107
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: with you by yourself or did you like have a

108
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: friend hiding as like a photographer. Yeah, oh I had no.

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: It was just me and my future wife. I did

110
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: the beach that night, and she she was so gen

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: manly surprised. She thought I was joking, which is where

112
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: like a lifetime of sarcasm comes back to bite you.

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: She genuinely thought for for a little while. But yeah,

114
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm not giving Mahomes any credit over me for that.

115
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I will I'm happy How I did it? Mark,

116
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: How did you do it? Actually it was Simone lived

117
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 1: up in Santa Monica and it was to the beach.

118
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: We didn't do the beach. It was just like I

119
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: decided that night, Auta. I was like I'm doing it

120
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: this tonight. And we I went up to see her,

121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: and like we took a walk and I just did

122
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: it on the street corner up from like the her

123
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: apartment where we had hung out for months and months.

124
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: So now we recreated it so someone could take a photo.

125
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: What did you say that pregnant? Mark? Now what I'm

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: off to Vegas? No, inaccurate, It's likely a little Truely,

127
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: you guys have I know Simone, If you're listening, I'm

128
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: sorry she's she was a staunch listener, but is rocked

129
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: um her listening status uh to the core. Alright, well,

130
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: we'll get her back, hopefully once the games begin and

131
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: her niners are thriving, hopefully. All right, let's get to

132
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the news. It's a rundown Friday. You are the weakest thing.

133
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: Do you know that that show is coming back to NBC?

134
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,200

135
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: been wanting to bring it back for years. I try

136
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: to bring back that um pop culture bit about five

137
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: years ago. It didn't take. But maybe NBC has something

138
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: cooking that I didn't know about it. Ricky, do you

Speaker 1: this time? Not at this time. No, but I did

141
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: see on Twitter that Jane Lynch is hosting the new one,

142
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: so that should be cool. They're not bringing the British Uh,

Speaker 1: signed to a one year, two million dollar contract. You

154
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: can get up to three and a half million if

155
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: he hits some incentives rushing yards and playing time. It

156
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: creates a very crowded backfield situation in Tampa, Um including

157
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Leshawn Leshawn McCoy's there and Mike Garfolo reported that he's

158
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: still going to be in the mix. Potentially. Ronald Jones

159
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: is there. Greg, what'd you think about this signing? Do

160
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: you think four net could potentially be a fit in Tampa.

161
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised, and I think all the fantasy heads

162
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: who were tauting Ronald Jones hardcore all preseason deserve what

163
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: they got. They should have seen it coming that that

164
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: rosters well because it became like a trendy thing and

165
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: saying I like Ronald Jones as a runner too. But

166
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: if you had to make a list of the teams

167
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: that were most likely to add a veteran at the

168
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: end of August to mess up your fantasy ring, it

169
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: was the Bucks. They sort of telegraphed it, And I

170
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: think four Nets fine. I kind of think he makes

171
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: sense for them as another back because I don't love

172
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones Lashawn McCoy backfield, um, but if he was

173
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: a third or fourth round pick, we wouldn't even be

174
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: having him, you know, talking about him on the show,

175
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: because he's just a fine power back that can split

176
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: up the work, and you just worry a little bit

177
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: about is he gonna be happy splitting up the work?

178
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: Is les Sean McCoy gonna be happy being third it

179
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: on the depth? Jar? You know arians already said Ronald

180
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Jones is our guy, Like is Ronald Jones is gonna

181
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: be happy if he's not the guy in week three

182
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: or four. It's it's a lot to deal with. I

183
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: wonder if it's like it's either Tom Brady has uh,

184
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, significant influence in Tampa and he's building a

185
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: backfield that's not that different in a way from New

186
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: England's where you've got a bunch of guys and you

187
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: kind of don't know who's gonna do what from week

188
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: to week. Or I just think more likely they're not

189
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: that happy with any of these players, and it's like

190
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep looking for answers and they'll probably have,

191
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: you know, different roles. I mean they already cut they

192
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: drafted Raymond Calais, who Bruce arians was crowing about, you

193
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: know when they took him, he got he got released.

194
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean they got rid of dry Wally, if I'm

195
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: saying that right, who was a really core special teams

196
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: player for them. So I think for Net has a role,

197
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: but I think it's probably closer to like a goal

198
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: line type role or like a late game hammer. You

199
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: make me think Mark though about one of the benefits

200
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady is now that now that we kind

201
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: of talk about, is is for Nett and mcquoie really

202
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: going to act up with Tom Brady as the quarterback.

203
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: I do think there is something to the to the

204
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: leadership and to the effect Brady has in terms of like, look,

205
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: this is our one year to go win the Super Bowl.

206
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: We don't want to mess it up for Tom Brady.

207
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Let's just be good team team players. I think, right

208
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: la Garrett Blunt goes to Pittsburgh and you know, within

209
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: two months he's he's riding around with Levan Bell smoking

210
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: weed in a car. He's back in New England, he

211
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't speak again, and Russia's for like two

212
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards in the playoffs. So I think that effect

213
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: is real. Yeah, he was listening everything we hear and

214
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: there was a report after his cut that he was

215
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: a knucklehead there and we saw it with some of

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: the antics on the sideline. I think Tom Coughlin was

217
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: all fired up after a playoff game, was it, or

218
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: at the end of a game once about some of

219
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: his behavior. That stuff's not gonna fly with Brady. I

220
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: totally agree that if for Net has the ability to

221
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: make a difference, and West kind of scared me off

222
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: that corner a little bit with his analysis earlier this

223
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: week that he's kind of just a numbers compiler and

224
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: a bit of a plotter as opposed to a dynamic player. Um,

225
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: maybe that's just gonna be the case. But I think

226
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: it's a perfect spot for him. Ultimately, let's move on.

227
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots make an announcement that I don't think surprises anyone,

228
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: but at the same time, now it's official, and that's interesting.

229
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is the successor to Tom Brady, is the

230
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterback of the New England Patriots. Cam who signed

231
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: a deal this summer well after free agency, coming off

232
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: the foot injury that ruined his two thousand nineteen season,

233
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: a couple of shoulder surgeries. But he look good in camp.

234
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: We hear, well, we heard a lot of different things

235
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: in camp, but we heard that he was also a

236
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: good leader, named a team captain Mark Mark Sessler. Uh,

237
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: and he is now going to be the Week one QB.

238
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: I know you're feeling bullish on Cam when he signed.

239
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: You still feel that way as we approach Week one. Uh,

240
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit less because I you know, as

241
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: you meant and the camp reports were really mixed out

242
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: of the gate. But that doesn't surprise me that much.

243
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: I guess my I'm more interested just to see what

244
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: this offense will look like. That's gonna be one of

245
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: the first games I'll go check out in week one.

246
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: What what is it? I mean, you have a completely

247
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: different type of player. They died the idea that these

248
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: names starter. I mean, wasn't this race over like weeks

249
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: ago when Jared Stidham was, you know, whipping interceptions all

250
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: over the place and dealing with an injury. I mean,

251
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: and also like I think that these races, I just

252
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: look at them as who is this player and who

253
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: is that? And why did they bring Cam Newton in?

254
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: The idea that Cam Newton was going to be on

255
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: the sideline in week one with cameras panning to him

256
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: every two minutes. I didn't really buy it. Now, maybe

257
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: they maybe it was fair to start, had to make

258
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: it make sure he was healthy, but you're right, once

259
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: he was, it was really one week and then they

260
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: started giving him starter reps because they they're trying to

261
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: get ready, you know, for the season. Belichick actually didn't

262
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: announce it publicly when they asked him about it. Friday,

263
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: he still wouldn't say who the starters, but he told

264
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: the team who the starter was, so obviously people from

265
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: the team, and that all got out, like they made

266
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: the announcement. Cam's our guy, this is who were so

267
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: funny behind. I mean, he's like, I don't I don't

268
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: think there's a week inside up Foxborough places. Whatever. You

269
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: can't keep that, You can't keep that a secret. Plus

270
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: the reporters kind of let it be known even though

271
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: they're not really supposed to that. The last few weeks, Um, look,

272
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: they've been practicing some option football, Like the the offensive

273
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: line has been answering questions about, Okay, what's it like

274
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: to be blocking for for offense, it's gonna have all

275
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: these r p O s and options and stuff like that.

276
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Like it's a totally different idea than when Tom Brady

277
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: was there. So obviously that leads you to believe they're

278
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: they're changing the offense significantly. I love as a as

279
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan, the fact that his teammates named him

280
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: the captain. Uh, it doesn't surprise me at all. I

281
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: listened to this Spotify um podcast the Ringer made called

282
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: the Cam Chronicles. It was really well done, and one

283
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: of my takeaways from it was just the fourth of

284
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: his personality, um, just as a leader and as a

285
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: a dude that other football players love to get behind.

286
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we know he's a big personality in front

287
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: of the mic, but also behind the scenes in terms

288
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: of you know, the heart, the work that he does,

289
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: and just kind of the galvanizing way he's going to

290
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: get that locker room behind him didn't take him long. Basically,

291
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: all those dudes just want to play with Cam. Whether

292
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: it works or not, I don't know, but it's fun

293
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: to imagine as a Patriots fan, he's almost like the

294
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: perfect replacement for Brady because he's not Brady Ask. He's

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: completely different type of player, which means you're not comparing

296
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: the same offense, but also like he's got that thing

297
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: about him, that aura, where like all these younger players

298
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: would to your point, just find it amazing to be

299
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: in the same offense with Cam Newton. Now, if it

300
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: has to work, Ricky, you've been bracing this yet or

301
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: what I mean? I know you're still hung up on

302
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: the one bad press conference quote, you know, but coming No, No,

303
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: it's good. I'm I'm excited. It'll be good. It'll be

304
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: very interesting. Like you said, I mean, our our offense

305
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: is it's not that talented exactly, so pass catchers. I

306
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: think ultimately he feels to me still is he's a

307
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: bridge quarterback. But that's not a bad thing when you're

308
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: the bridge is coming from the greatest quarterback ever. And

309
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: then if Cam, whether he works out or he bombs,

310
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: then maybe the young guy comes in and he's not

311
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: getting compared directly to Brady, he's getting compared to the

312
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: guy that replaced Brady. Remember the whole thing. You don't

313
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: want to be the guy who replaces the guy. You

314
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: want to be the guy who replaces the guy who

315
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: replaced the guy. Yeah, that's that's Whoever the next Patriots

316
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: quarterback is speaking the Patriots and their weapons. Uh, most

317
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: a new has been released, your boy. I think Tom

318
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Curran Greg called him plotting during training camp and fell

319
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: behind on the depth chart coming off that ankle surgery.

320
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: But in terms of Bill part Bill Belichick's personnel record,

321
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: which is generally sterling, this one was a mega bomb.

322
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: They gave up a second round to make a Super

323
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Bowl run at the trade deadline last October, and it

324
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: gets the new and now he doesn't even make it

325
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: to people started lost a fact that it was about

326
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: pushing to go far last year for a team that

327
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: you know had a chance at to buy up until

328
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: week seventeen. It was one of the worst personnel moves

329
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: of the Belichick air. He's had plenty. I mean they

330
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: all have had plenty. Of course, like you're hoping to

331
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: do like five percent better. He gives up on his

332
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: mistakes quicker. But man, he he's made some big ones

333
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: and this is this is up there. I thought they

334
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: thought they'd get two years out of the New so

335
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: that you know it wasn't just last year. So to

336
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: give up a second round pick, which they've blown a

337
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: million times, taken terrible defensive backs anyways, like Force and

338
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: New is a disaster. It really. It reminds me a

339
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: little bit of the Ocho Sinko signing in trade, which

340
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: which I always hammer cost them a super Bowl, And um,

341
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't think this was that costly, but it's it's

342
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: pretty close. It goes agawn, it goes again. Tonio Bone

343
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: was a bust. But to me, there's something, Yeah, they

344
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: didn't they don't have it. They don't have any depth.

345
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: That's what's going on to keep trying to He's trying

346
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: to patch it with veterans and it's becoming expensive. What

347
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: about the whole pink pony thing though, Mark, He's you know,

348
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: pink pony is supposed to be Mark's great theory. It's like, oh,

349
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: these these Patriots operatives go to other places and take advantage,

350
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, and then feed the pages. Well, how about

351
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: former Patriots front office uh staffer Thomas Dimitroff, Uh, just

352
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, crushing Belichick sending them some used goods for

353
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: a second round pick. He's not getting invited to the

354
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: Nantucket cookouts anymore, Dimitroff Belichick. Dimitroff has survived so many

355
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: ups and downs in Atlanta that there may be a

356
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: whole different thing going on there in terms of you know,

357
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what what kind of colored pony, you'd

358
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: be a red pony down there. There's weird stuff. I mean,

359
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't kill this Belichick on this one

360
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: for this one move because I want because i'd want

361
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 1: someone that actively is going for it when you're in

362
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: position to get a buy, had it worked, had you

363
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: gotten a healthy version of us knew that was Atlanta

364
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: it would have help. They were stiffing around Emmanuel Sanders

365
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: though too. When you do think about, you know, the

366
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: road not not taken there. Yeah, Greg, I just want

367
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: to know what you were talking about a little like

368
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: a minute ago. You said, Antonio Bone. Who's that Antonio Bone? Them?

369
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: You know Bone? He's actually he's an actor in a

370
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: film that Greg watches sometimes a bit of a ultimately

371
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: a bit of a bit of a h A look

372
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: at me move? I thought, by Belichick, you know, I know,

373
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: but D like, wait, what's the look at me moved?

374
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: Trading for him? I don't even get the joke. It's

375
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: like here, yeah, here I my depth chart at wide

376
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: receivers thirty four year old Julian Edelman and the Harry

377
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: kid who was kind of shaky as hell last year

378
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: as a rookie and most of new come me off

379
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: ankle surgery. But here's the thing, Well, you asked me,

380
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: you asked me to talk. You gotta let me talk.

381
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: You know the fact that maybe he wasn't moving so

382
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: great in training camp and a shortened pandemic training camp. Yeah,

383
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: let's get rid of him because I want to prove

384
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: to everyone that I eat my mistakes. And I keep

385
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: moving that because I'm a tank and there's no reverse

386
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: gears in this tank. All right, he was your coach

387
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: for about three hours and those were two. Yeah, you

388
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: think he's worried about the pr I mean once you

389
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: got once, you got a stiff, you get rid of him.

390
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: You don't keep you don't sign him. You know, it's like, oh,

391
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: I hope some new signs with somebody will sign with

392
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: the Jets, like the Marius Thomas and Braxton Barrios, Like,

393
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: just keep keep getting keep getting out, keep hitting out

394
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: at me. It's not my fault that it was a

395
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: terrible trade. I mean you're hitting out at multiple people

396
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: didn't like, let's beat him hitting out at No. One.

397
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: That's football analysis, Jack No, no, al Right, next time

398
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: an Alvin Camara is back on the field with the Saints.

399
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: There's been some contract drama there that's kind of tiresome

400
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: to me. So if you guys want to talk about

401
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: their deal, which is either happening or not happening, but

402
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the Saints this year. Someone that

403
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: did get paid is Joe Mixing, who signed a four year,

404
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: forty eight million dollar extension through four with the Cincinnati

405
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: Bengals a quick trip into the Bengal Sanctuary here Uh,

406
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: Mixing returned to return to the field himself. Remember you

407
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: had those my you had those migraine headaches, which quickly

408
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: disappeared after he got paid. So Mixing gets paid, Kamari

409
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: gets waiting to get paid. Both are playing with their

410
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: teams right now. Yeah, Mixing deal coincided with, you know,

411
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: the Kimara news going from you know, interesting to kind

412
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: of nuclear. I heard some whispers about some things that

413
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: happened behind the scenes, maybe between Kimara and you know,

414
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: his coaching staff. There there is things, but he's back

415
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: on the he's back on the field. Whispers there's drama,

416
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: that there's some drap, that there was drama, and then

417
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: he was gone for four or five days. Malcolm Jenkins,

418
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: by the way, has been gone from Saints practice too

419
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: for two weeks. No one is explaining that. I'm a

420
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: little curious about what's happening there to The Saints have

421
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: kept some good secrets, but I think Camara gets paid.

422
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: The Mixing deal just made it harder, and so did

423
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: the Christian McCaffrey deal. It's amazing. I think how far

424
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Mixing came though. I mean he was kind of, you know,

425
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: a guy that the Bengals took a lot of grief

426
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: for signing, and no one's given them grief now for

427
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: giving him like a four year contract. I mean his

428
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: domestic violence history is kind of barely even mentioned at

429
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: this point, and now they're willing to pay him for

430
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: four or five years. Yeah. I mean it's and that

431
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: was a Marvin Lewis you know, draft pick, and the

432
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: new regime came in and seemed to not veer away.

433
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean, mixing from an on field perspective fits the

434
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: offense really well, and it kind of shows you Cincinnati

435
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: like really slow to do things like this in the past.

436
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: Um and you're kind of building key players around like

437
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: I couldn't see them moving on. But then you suddenly

438
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: get that quarterback in there and they're like, let's kind

439
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: of be chiefs ESK and surround Joe Burrow with as

440
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: much talent as we can long term. I Mean the

441
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: Sames thing for me is like it's have you I

442
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: can't remember a team that was like, you know, basically

443
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: super Bowl or bus for one more season. I mean

444
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: it's you'd imagine Breeze will not be there next year.

445
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: Everything is going away. You're gonna really like float into

446
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: a thorny NFC South without Alvin Kamara. I mean, if

447
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: you don't get that done, what are you doing? They're

448
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: chasing Jadeveon Clowney for the same reasons you know. In

449
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: other running back news, Adrian Peterson has done with the

450
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: Washington football team in a move that's kind of a surprise.

451
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: They part ways with the uh great running back, now

452
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: thirty five years old, saves the team two and a

453
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: half million dollars against the cap, opens up playing time

454
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: for dudes like Antonio Gibson and Bryce Love and listen

455
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: all day, Greg out on the street on the eve

456
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: of Week one? Is this the end? Do you think

457
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: he catches on somewhere? And where do you think Washington's

458
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: field goes from here? I think he'll get a job

459
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: at some point this year, maybe not before week one,

460
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: when the when your contract for the whole season is guaranteed.

461
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: But because he could still run really well last year,

462
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't really make sense though on Washington like a

463
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: rebuilding team. He's a He's a bit of a progress stopper.

464
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Sanu was a progress that when you have talent like

465
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers and Gunner Elschowski. You can't absolute out there

466
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: bob stopping that progress. So Peterson really can run well

467
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: or he did, laughter, he really did, like he was.

468
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: He was absolutely a better player than Leonard Fournette was

469
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: a year ago. I mean, I don't even think it's

470
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: a question. I think if you just look at like

471
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Scott Turner there North Turner's son, the o c that

472
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson despite like they were reporters from the Athletic

473
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: like five or six days ago, saying that Peterson was

474
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: an absolute lock and that they thought Bryce Love was

475
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: the one who would be booted out of off the roster,

476
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: but he didn't really fit Scott Turner's offense, you know.

477
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: And I should know. I once ran into Scott Turner

478
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: at the airport and I said to him, you know, hey,

479
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: because after they had been with the Browns, they said,

480
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry about what happened in Cleveland. I thought

481
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: you did a great job. Now I don't know if

482
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: he did a great job. But he looked at me

483
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: like h and just like I'm just trying to get

484
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: on this plane, get out of my face right now.

485
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: And it was like one of those like it was

486
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: like seven twelve in the morning, and I thought I

487
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have, uh, you know, gone forward with that interaction,

488
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: but just trying to make you know, of such repute,

489
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe he would feel differently, but maybe just like I

490
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: would put some respect on your name. You know. I

491
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: think I said I was from you know, NFL media

492
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: that which I was much more from NFL dot com

493
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: back then, but I realized that has literally zero credence

494
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: with anyone. So you just used the umbrella NFL media

495
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: term and like they can imagine that maybe you're just

496
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: an accountant or work in HR at that point. So

497
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, it was not a successful conversation. I've always

498
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: appreciated how aggressive you are in airports when you spot

499
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: people that you know, you like, you're a guy that

500
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: will and we just happen with Sam Donald the spring.

501
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: You will always go up to the person and talk

502
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: to them, which is something I would never do. I

503
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: don't even think I would have done it with Donald.

504
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: I and I don't say that as like because I

505
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: don't want to invade their space. It's just I would

506
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable doing it, but cessly don't care. Well Henry

507
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 1: once and always kills me about this because he I

508
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: believe it. He ran into me, like sitting next to

509
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Greg Roman, um, and I was just like, my, I

510
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: guess my thing is like you've you got one chance

511
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: to do it, Um, do it. And I got that

512
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: photo from the bad getting to Sam Donald photo because

513
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: it looked like I was, you know, Dan should have

514
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: been Dan. And I told him, I said, like, you know,

515
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: Dan and Dan's dad on our podcast really love the Jets.

516
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: And that was another kind of thousand yards stare. So

517
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean, that's what you know. How

518
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: do you just pop in the question out of nowhere

519
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: after you knocked up Simone? It was like, that's it's

520
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing to be that, you know, im Pulse.

521
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you have the facts in order there,

522
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: but um, all those things did happen, just not in

523
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: that order. The best, the best Sessler version of this

524
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: wasn't at an airport. It was at a highly boozy

525
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: league event where Mike mccagnen, the then Jets general manager

526
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: who was on the verge of drafting Sam Donald, was

527
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: belly up at the bar and Cessler rumbled over there

528
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: and I see them talking and then all of a sudden,

529
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: like Mark turns with a big smile and just like

530
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: waves me over here. Done, and then we had really

531
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: nice conversation with Big Mac for ten minutes. I think.

532
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: Actually the most heightened experience, and you were there too,

533
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: was Mark Davis, where I attempted to corner Mark Davis

534
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: for four or five minutes, and he was in a

535
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: white track suit in like a bowl haircut and you know,

536
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: two piece in the pot, not a tract suit. The

537
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: best thing about Mark Davis is he's always in the

538
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: same outfit at any league event. It's white jeans, not sweatpants.

539
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: It's white jeans, maybe zubaz uh. And then it's usually

540
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: a white long, long sleeved T shirt, usually Raiders apparel. Uh.

541
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: And then yes, the haircut, which is some is pretty

542
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: much iconic at this point, like people thought Al Davis

543
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: is iconic, I think at this point. And then if

544
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: you read some of the profiles unmarked, does he still

545
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: have the bubbletop van? Remember that I'm not aware of

546
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: what's happening with the bubbletop fan at the moment. A right,

547
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: Google that Google that? Um? All right? In other news?

548
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: What else is going on? Oh Josh? Gordon is back

549
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks. They have some depth issues there

550
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: behind their great one two punch of Locket and Metcalf,

551
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: so they bring Gordon back in the mix. And the

552
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: one it hang up here is that Josh Gordon is

553
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: still suspended. He's been suspended six times overall since, including

554
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: five times for drug related defenses. He's currently banned for

555
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: both p E d S and uh, you know, substance abuse.

556
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: But that apparently seems to be coming to a potential

557
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: end because he's on the Seattle roster and we'll see

558
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: where he is. It's years old. M hmm. It's interesting.

559
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: They brought in Paul Richardson, who had some decent moments

560
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: in Seattle for about a week, and they don't have

561
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: a third receiver. Philip door Set, the former Patriot, was

562
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: supposed to be that guy. He's been hurt. They have

563
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries. I think if Gordon is the

564
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: third receiver behind two really talented receivers, it could work out.

565
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had this Gordon conversation a million time,

566
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: but this as a football player. I also don't think

567
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: you can count on him to be a star now either.

568
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: But as a role player. Then then I think that

569
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 1: makes sense because I think his play has declined a

570
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: little bit each time he's come back. And let's just

571
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: be honest here, you can't count on him period right now.

572
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: That that's times, But but what what what what happened

573
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: was like when he was in the middle of his

574
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: five or six year high this he would come back

575
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: in a preseason and look absolutely dominant and then fatal,

576
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, then then he'd be gone two weeks later.

577
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: I think that that dominance is not guaranteed on any level,

578
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: but it's telling that with you know, it's this weekend

579
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have about sixties seventy eight wide receivers

580
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: set free that they're gonna go with. Josh Gordon is

581
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: their pick that I mean, they there's there is something

582
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: so tantalizing about him if he's on the field. I mean,

583
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks like to bring back Richardson. Not a

584
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: lot of teams bring back guys that they parted ways with.

585
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are a little different on that front. I

586
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: just wonder, you know, let's use Dez Bryant as another

587
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: veteran ride receiver desperately trying to get back in the league.

588
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Is this version of Josh Gordon a better value for

589
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks than somebody like it does Bryant Antonio Brown,

590
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: I'll throw his name out there because he's forgotten now,

591
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: But you can't get Brown for till week nine or ten.

592
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: That's the problem. So it's like I think that, you

593
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: know my answer, yes, could imagine that because when we've

594
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: seen Gordon, I think he he can still play, And

595
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: when we saw Daz Last I don't think he could

596
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: he could still play at that you know what, I

597
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: don't Obviously I'm not speaking from any inside knowledge on this,

598
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: But doesn't Antonio Brown with the Pete Carroll Seahawks vibe

599
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: of them bringing guys that they feel they can rehab

600
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: and then adding him to a push for a team

601
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: that kind of needs a third banana? There, wouldn't that

602
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: potentially be a great fit for the Seahawks. I can

603
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: see it. There's probably like a five, maybe four or

604
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: five teams that I would He makes sense as a

605
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: player for a lot of teams. But no, But the

606
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: overall experience, like maybe that happens, you know, five weeks

607
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: from now or something, and someone pulls the trigger the

608
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: Raiders are down to wide receiver Tyrolle. Williams placed on

609
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: injured reserve this week with a torn labram. Uh it

610
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: is that's a tough injury and uh he's gonna undergo surgery. Uh,

611
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: so he cannot return this season. He got a lot

612
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: of money from Mike Mayock and and John Gruden last year,

613
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: but it has not worked out. He's twenty he's almost

614
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty nine. This could be the end of his run,

615
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: uh in Vegas before it begins. Really, yeah, this was

616
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: a big loss. I mean, they paid him a ton

617
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: of money. And to be you know clear, when you

618
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: put on injured reserve this week, it's for the season,

619
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, Dan, and if if you want to,

620
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, keep your guys through the fifty three man

621
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: roster cut, which the deadline is Saturday afternoon. I think

622
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: if he's on the roster by Monday, then you can

623
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: start putting players on injured reserve. And the rules are

624
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: totally different this year. You have an unlimited amount of

625
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: i R boomerangs, and I think you can do it

626
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: for like three weeks because of COVID. So it's the

627
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: i R rules are totally different this year. If you're

628
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: putting a guy on now you're saying, you know, he's

629
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: not gonna be of use to us, but there's gonna

630
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: be a ton of players on Monday and Tuesday, UM

631
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: that just have these sort of short term injuries. Maybe

632
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: an Alston Jeffrey is a good example where okay, maybe

633
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: we hope you're back in week four or five, but

634
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: now we can put you on I Are. We don't

635
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: have to worry about using up our boomerangs like some

636
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: teams are gonna end up putting three, four or five

637
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: players on I ARE a lot of boomerangs, a lot

638
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: of boomerangs. All right, let's spend through a couple of things, uh,

639
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: real quick before we head off on a reminder, we

640
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: have our NFL Network program coming up. We're taping it

641
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: today at Arizon Fridays Online and then on NFL Network

642
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: in the morning. Dwayne Haskins and Tarad Tarad Taylor. You know,

643
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Mark and I did a Chargers thing with our buddy

644
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: Chris Harry the other day yesterday in fact, and uh,

645
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: I noticed after doing an in depth conversation about uh,

646
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Chargers, that I was calling him Tyrod.

647
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: But as I think that was corrected a couple of

648
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: years ago. It's Tarad right, bad job by me, but

649
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: as coaches don't even say it. I mean, Anthony lenn

650
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: says Tyrod. So it's it's one of those things that's

651
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: he's putting people on the top. Now you know people

652
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: are gonna have the population is gonna think Tyrode, So

653
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be dealing with that. Check out. On Twitter,

654
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Mark and I both retweeted Chris's tweet we run that

655
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: Chargers live show. It was fun. Uh the Cowboys release

656
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: ha ha, Clinton dicks the former Packers safety and uh listen.

657
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: James later keeps telling all you guys, it's not happening.

658
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas is not going to the Cowboys. Just believe her.

659
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: She knows what she's talking about. This will come back

660
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: to bite become Monday's show. She seems to be very confident.

661
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: She seems very confident that Earl Thomas is not on

662
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: the way. We shall see. And finally another safety news,

663
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: the Browns make a move after Grant Delpit toward his achilles.

664
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: They needed to add somebody else to that room, so

665
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: enter Ronnie Harrison in a trade. Your thoughts on that one, Mark, Sessler.

666
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the the interesting player kind of

667
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Joe Woods, their defensive coordinator, wanted to use delp It

668
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of all over the place. Harrison, Um who comes

669
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: cheap too million and over two million over two years,

670
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: played free safety about forty percent of the time, up

671
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: in the box thirty one percent of the time, so

672
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: he can do a lot um Nick Saban loved him

673
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: at Alabama. Well, TVD will see. But the takeaway from

674
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: me is that, Um, you look at the front office

675
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: and they are not um the type that's gonna go

676
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: out and jump after Earl Thomas. They're not gonna go

677
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: jump after like an ex overly priced veteran. I had

678
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: some people around the team say, like, watch, they're gonna

679
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: go someone that fits exactly le Brown's model. And I

680
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: know there's been a billion Browns models, but I really

681
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: think this is the best. And Andrew Barry is more

682
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 1: the more promising that GM than I've seen in years

683
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: and years there, and he's stuck to what they want

684
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: to do. JAG's really putting it taking it down of

685
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: the screws here. I mean not the Harrison was a star.

686
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: He just the guy who played a lot for them.

687
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: Last year. He's a young player, but man, they're they're

688
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: getting rid of They do not have many players, especially

689
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: on defensive, have been there for a while, and I

690
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: am kind of amazed how little interest Earl Thomas is getting.

691
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's asking for financially. I suspect

692
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: that's that's a big part of it. But it'll be

693
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: interesting to see if, like Clinton Dix, who's been solid,

694
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: he never can find a team that believes in him,

695
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: which is a red flag. But like it'd be interesting

696
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: to see if he gets a job before Thomas. No

697
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: one wants Earl Thomas. That's my take. It feels like

698
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: girl Thomas has some stink on him. You know, well

699
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: you got teams hugged up against the cap and you

700
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: could see him asking for more money coming off a

701
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: disastrous exit from Baltimore that people are comfortable with. What

702
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: don't we be hearing that there was some type of

703
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: conversations happening. Then he's pretty silent. People aren't into it.

704
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing is like when the Cowboys

705
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: public or you were saying, well we're looking at it,

706
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Well not really. I mean, you made you had your

707
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: meetings and once it's five three or four or five

708
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: days out of him being cut. They they decided they're

709
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: not into him, and all these other teams have decided

710
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: they're not that into him. Maybe that changes after week

711
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: one when the contract surr guaranteed or his price comes down.

712
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: But it's pretty crazy for like a possible future Hall

713
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: of Famer who played well last year. It's not like

714
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: he played poorly. He played played well. All right, that's

715
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. A couple of program notes.

716
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: Next week begins our you know shift into regular season. Okay,

750

Speaker 1: you know, I have This is the first time I

752
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: bought shirts in like probably four years. And so what

753
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: I do is I went into a store, I found

754
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: one version of a shirt I like, and just bought

755
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: three colored versions of it. And I was out in

756
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: eight minutes. And that's how you do it. What's well done?

00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: called the plug? Little little like twitter cup gake out

763
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: there for you to eat. Take a little bite out

764
00:39:54,080 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: of it, do it? That's not uh, I don't know

765
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: if if you know, this households about to combust. So

766
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we'll see where we are three

767
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: weeks from now. I'm not feeling ultra confident about the

768
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: smoothness of the whole journey here. And one more thing,

769
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: boys and girls, this has nothing to do with us

770
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: but it has something to do with one of our

771
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: very favorite people at NFL Media, the great Steve Wish,

772
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna let him explain it to listeners that

773
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: might not know about his new venture. Steve, Welcome to

774
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast. I like you on every

775
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: week and not getting paid for it. I love it.

776
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: What's up in the podcast game? Now, guys? The podcast game?

777
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: I gotta tell us a little bit about it. Yeah,

778
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: Jim Trotter and I are gonna be having a podcast

779
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: debuting September eighth, the Huddle and Flow Podcast that name. Yeah,

780
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: you like that A little little sample part of it,

781
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, to to Howard Alums on the podcast stampling

782
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: from the movie where Howard Alums, Anthony Anderson and to

783
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: Roggi p Henson are two of the key stars the

784
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Hustle and Flow, there's a nice little connecting of the

785
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: dots right there. But yeah, I mean, so, Jim and I,

786
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, we we've we've had more more than forty

787
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: years of covering the NFL. Uh. You know, as I

788
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: said to Howard Alums, you've got a lot of experience. Um,

789
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: it's not often you get two guys from the same school,

790
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: but also two guys in the same historically black university.

791
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be coming at this with a kind of,

792
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: hopefully a unique perspective on covering the NFL with the

793
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: pop culture and social issues going on around it. And guys,

794
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: our debut September eight. Who've got Ron Rivera, the head

795
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: coach of the Washington football team on there, and we've

796
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: recorded it, and all I can say is, I have

797
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: the headline writers ready because there's a lot of stuff

798
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: in here, um that nobody's heard before. It goes back

799
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: to our relationship with Ron and his and his trust

800
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: and candor in us. But this is to nice little

801
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: dive and it's one of the things that are going there.

802
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: Even used to call up the news desk. You know

803
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: how this thing works. He should give him a copy.

804
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 1: Help out the NFL media, nfl dot com, and help

805
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: out yourself. They'll have some headlines ready for once that

806
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: thing hits up. To think about the game, Now that

807
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: you're getting into the pad, you're competing with us, you

808
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: gotta think a couple of steps ahead here. Why Greg,

811
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,760

00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: the whole thing up here. Uh. You know they talk

813
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: about you guys or people they would say reporters with

814
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: deep rollodex is when is the last time you actually

815
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: on a desk or had a rolodex. I just feel like, um,

816
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: you probably shifted your deep list of contacts to online

817
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: at this point. Great report builder here? You know what

818

821
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: no need for the rolodex. Can't leave any evidence laying

822
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 1: around for chat commentary to finally catch up towing get

823
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: it's all right here. I hope that means you're not

824
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey too, and you're just sticking to the character portrait. Okay.

825
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean whe is peaking right now. Wie's guns on

826
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: the artwork, having a moment podcast. He's having a moment.

827
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: It's like, I think what it is. It's his second peak.

828
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: He he had the climb, he had the climb to

829
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: the summit of the industry. But you've got a lot

830
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: of kids in the house. You're dealing with them now,

831
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: the kids, and I know the quarantines changed that up

832
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there, but the kids are

833
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: mostly taking care of themselves. They're into college. It opens

834
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: up the time. And now Wie is just peeking again.

835
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: We gotta wait until our kids go to college for

836
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: that second peak, Mark and Dan for the first one.

837
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: I wonder where the dip is. Well, we're just hanging

838
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: out at the top of the mountain for now, but

839
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: now you're going up another mountain. But I have to

840
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: say this, man, you guys, the you know, the lane

841
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: you guys carved out and showing you know, me and

842
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: so many others on how to really articulate this podcast

843
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: game to really kind of cultivate an audience and build

844
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: an audience. It's amazing what you guys have done. You know,

845
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: I love you guys. You're just great human beings. But again,

846
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: what you've done in the in the sports, in the

847
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: NFL podcast world and kind of bringing your own personalities

848
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: and your pop culture references and everything into it. We

849
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: just hope that you know, after a couple of years,

850
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: if you get that much time, because you know, typically

851
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: black people only get one shot before they're fired. If

852
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: you get that much time to build, you know, something

853
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: to what you know you guys have crafted. You know,

854
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope, you know, to really live up

855
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: to the expectations you guys have said. Well, I came

856
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: away from art, thank you. I came here from our

857
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: NFL summit thinking that maybe you alone feel that way

858
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: about our show. But uh, that's for another time. So yeah,

859
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: how about how about that. Let's let's open the world

860
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: to the great franchise that we're building here. Uh, build

861
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: some homes. Steve Wise, you know that we love you

862
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,640
