Well you, yes, like I 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: already know where you're going with that, but that's that's 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: still content. So, um, what did you listen to? What 22 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: was the music that you liked? And your answer was, yah, 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: bad hair Day was my first CD. Weird Al Weird 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Al Yankovic, and I because Weird a famous kind of 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: parody music artist, the parody music artists of our times. 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: But I I didn't know if Patrick was joking. You know, 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,279 Speaker 1: some people were a little, you know, a little closed 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: in about what the music music they like because it's 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of revealing a lot about themselves. No, Clayvland is 30 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: just being totally honest. His favorite musical artist is Weird 31 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: Al Yankovic. You learned something new every day. Yeah, I've 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: it's tough for me to partake in a lot of 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: people's music discussions because people are so incredibly passionate about 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: it and it's like, well this means this to me. 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, well, you you know this album is 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: that's normal core and I like pop verde or whatever. 37 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: There's so many genres and stuff, and I just I liked, 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, listening to a guy who made jokes. And 39 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: even now in nineteen you go back, a lot of 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: stuff stands up and it's not super problematic jokes and 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: you can go back and Weird Elves taste still at 42 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: the top of your list. Yeah, he would, he would 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: catch wasn't too serious about everything. He would deem be 44 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: deemed somewhat problematic. Um as a fat chamber for some 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: of his eighties work, for sure. And it's like every 46 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: chapter that open eat it. Of course not in the 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: eighties that one was saying, no, not not eat It 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: was a smash. I was about nine years old for that, 49 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: and that like you were more like, wasn't that no? 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: Not even um. But he did fat, which was a 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: parody of Bad by Michael Jackson that was around eighty eight. 52 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. But I'm confusing them. We 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: have come a long way and we've we've grown as 54 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: a society, but I still love I still love Weird 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: al Yanko. And then I told Claybon my first concert 56 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: was Weird Out opening for the Monkeys, and we had 57 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: a legit moment connected and now we're going to get 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: lunch together after the show. My first concert was Blues Traveler. 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: But what was your first CD? Though? Because it was 60 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: around what eighty nine that CDs hit, I would imagine Dan, 61 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: you were in the CD buying industry back then. I wasn't. 62 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: For Again, you're much older than me, so nine year 63 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: old cannot buy a CD. Not until I was like 64 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen. I think I might have been ten 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: by Pearl jim Mine Is. I want to say, this 66 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: would sound embarrassing except that I still love this artist, 67 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: and so does Dan Phil Collins. But seriously, so why 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: would have be embarrassing. I'm just saying I think, oh, 69 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: Phil Collins, it's like but I bought it, listened to 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: like a fellow coin appreciation. I think, you know, to 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: his but to his thing on music. Like a lot 72 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: of times when I mentioned someone that I like, I 73 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: just prepare for a wave of snobbery. Basically, like you, 74 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: it's hard to hit the sweet spot by the checks 75 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: of the World and Matt money Smith's like Pavement, that's 76 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: the only band that matters. Well, how about whatever I 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: like is what matters? That's where we beget Is Pavement 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: a real band? They are? Oh yeah they are, and 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: they have no problem with PM But the music I 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: want to go see, you know, They're reunion in Barcelona 81 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: next year. That would be a nice little tour, nice 82 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: little trip. All right, you're not going you won't be 83 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: able to pull it off, but if you will send 84 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: us some video, all right, big show coming up with 85 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: Clai bon Um. We are going to talk about all right, 86 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: we do comeback Players of the Year predictions on the show, 87 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: and perhaps if we want, we could throw some in today. 88 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: I think that's an inference show or we could save 89 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: it for another show. But what what today's show is about? 90 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: Come down Players of the Year? Who who are the 91 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: players that enjoyed you know, saw their careers shoot too 92 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: dizzying heights in and that's gonna come down a bit, 93 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean it's going to go through the 94 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: floor and their careers are gonna be over. And certainly 95 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: we're not predicting injuries or anything terrible like that, but 96 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: just guys that maybe, uh, how about this a regression 97 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: to the mean? I mean, I'd say even this podcast 98 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: has had some years where we really peaked and then 99 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: the next year coming down a little bit and you've 100 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: got something to work on next year after that. That 101 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: would be a good put mark the years of the 102 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: around the NFL part. But I don't know if it's 103 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: a great idea. Yeah, we're like, we're like barely above 104 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: the Dalton scale of podcasts right now. Um, all right, 105 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: so that's what we're gonna get into, come down Players 106 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: of the Year. But before that, let's do some news. Yeah, 107 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: I kind of said what I what I said, you know, 108 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: if you want to go Scotch. I feel pretty good 109 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: about it. As far as there's other guys, you know, 110 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, for some of them, there there's finally a 111 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: talent where they can you know, they can say they're 112 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: better than me. Yeah, boom that is. Aaron Rodgers, speaking 113 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: at Packers camp, asked about how he was shown up 114 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: by his teammate Baciari and other quarter backs around the 115 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: league and beer chugging, and I have to say, I know, Mark, 116 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: you're not on the same page. I really enjoy Aaron Rodgers. 117 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't enjoy him as much as if he 118 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: if he was my teammate from what we hear, But 119 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: I really do like his sense of humor and the 120 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: way he's dry and kind of always winking but never 121 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: really letting people in on the joke. He follows that up. 122 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: People ask, um, you know, there was a foll up 123 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: question about a ongoing competition with some of these guys 124 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: that have been beer chugging. This is what Roger's response was. 125 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: I think we need to be be smart about the 126 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 1: example we're setting for kids and a lot of kids watching. 127 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: If we're gonna start highlighting and uh glorifying Ben's drinking, 128 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, we need to be very careful about that 129 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: slippery slope. And that, to me is hilarious because it's 130 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: all tongue in cheek, basically uh kicking all the pearl 131 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: clutching calumness out there that took this beer chugging fund 132 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: and said this is what the kids shouldn't be seeing. 133 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: So i'd like Aaron Rodgers and and it slides hey, 134 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: like just so that you remember, I might be the 135 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: most talented quarterback to ever play this game, So calm, 136 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: calm down, Like about a subversive flash there, And both 137 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: of them served a couple of different purposes like, hey, 138 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: it's not that serious, and be like, why is chugging 139 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: beer that important to so many guys that it's like 140 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the side of masculinity, Like are you commenting on toxic 141 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: male masculinity as well? Maybe I just don't know why 142 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: so many marks, so many layers. Aaron Rodgers. I I 143 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: like the tongue in cheek comment, but from another angle, 144 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: nail the beer you're on camera, nail it he get 145 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: it done, Like I don't. It's like, I don't think 146 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: that you are you like good at chugging water even 147 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: No I'm not, but I'm not an NFL quarterback on camera. 148 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: Like there's another side that just says, just get it done. 149 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: The rest of he was a part owner of the team, 150 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: and he was partaking in a little thing on the 151 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: jumbo tron Like I don't. He's I don't get it. 152 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: He's a little bit of a different guy. We know that. 153 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: He mentioned, you know, if we're drinking Scotch, I could 154 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: probably hold my own. But I'm not. Personally, I'm not 155 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: like a beer chuggar. You might find that surprising. I 156 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: might look like the guy who could chug a beer, 157 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: but I've never been that guy myself. But some people 158 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: they just shoot it straight down. The first time I 159 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: went out with on a date with Simone, my wife, 160 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: and she was has was only a few years removed 161 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: from college at that point, and I like, did it 162 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: gone into one of these hideous like she was around 163 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: all her like old sorority and fat friends.

But I mean we yeah, 170 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: I remember we once at the this is ridiculous, but 171 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: chugged like a bottle of mad Dog in college, which 172 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: is a great way to like end up on the pavement, 173 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: uh outside uh during Marty Gray and that's the only 174 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: man that matters the um. There could be an oral 175 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: hiptory on your um. You're pledging days because that's that's 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't even yet. It's somewhat surprising you survived the 177 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: way they abused all the people in your class. I 178 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: was one of I was in good shape compared some 179 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: other people crumbled mentally. I was, you know, I could 180 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: take a beating. Let's get into it, let's get into 181 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: the news. Gerald McCoy. This game shortly after we signed 182 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: off on Monday, UM. After visits with the Cleveland Browns 183 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens, Gerald McCoy met with the Carolina Panthers, 184 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: and that's where he signs. The defensive tackle Uh signs 185 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: a one year deal with Carolina. Rap Sheet reported this 186 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: UH he'll earn roughly eight million, can make up to 187 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: ten point to five million based on playing time and 188 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: sack incentives. UH six time Pro bowler. UH made his 189 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: bones with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now he's on 190 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: a Pather's team that he sees as a contender. UH 191 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: he said that leading into the signing process he wanted 192 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: to sign with the contender. He sees Caroline as a contender. 193 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: Would you think I think it's a great fit, and 194 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: it's a potentially a really intriguing defensive line with the 195 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: rookie Brian Burns now added to the mix, Kwan Short done, 196 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: Terry po like, that's kind of the Mario Addison is 197 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: still there. That the Panthers teams of old that we thought. 198 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: But the other thing that I thought with this was 199 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: it was kind of an old school free agency tour 200 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: where he actually chose the team that he felt, you know, 201 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: fit the best. This is what they used to do 202 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: in the nineties or early two thousands. A little bit 203 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: more he tried out the Ravens and the Browns, and 204 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: according to raps Sheet, he actually took less money to 205 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: go with the Panthers because he kind of just liked 206 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the fit and the vibe in the defensive uh and 207 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: the city, he said, in the defensive kind of mindset 208 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: that they have there, I thought he had three good choices, 209 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: because we're had he gone to Cleveland, we would be 210 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: saying that defensive line is now completely piqued. We've never 211 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: seen anything like that from Cleveland before. Anything it was. 212 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: I would argue that they with with Larrio conjob there, 213 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: that they really probably were not the team that needed 214 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: the most. But for me, this is something that shows 215 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: again to Greg's point that the tour matters, because he 216 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: said that this was the place where and I don't 217 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: know what happened in Cleveland and Baltimore, that Panthers teammates 218 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: came and took him out to dinner and then he 219 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: got a first hand look of what that defensive chemistry 220 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: was like and that it helped tip the scales and 221 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't just a money thing. It reminds me, on 222 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: a much lesser scale of when Reggie White kind of 223 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: cracked open free agency for the first time and went 224 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: from city to city to city before picking the Packers 225 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: for the right reasons. Clear this up for me, What 226 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: has this traditional tour been replaced by just signing a 227 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: player without ever going to the facility or free agents. 228 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't even start and we already know players going. 229 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: That's been replaced by the agents just making a deal 230 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: and talking to the player and they just picked the best. 231 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: Makes a lot more sense to me, and just in 232 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: terms of having a choice and being a part of 233 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: the process. Gerald McCoy went into this at a point 234 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: where he still had those twenty one quarterback hits last year, 235 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: which is the same amount he had in his All 236 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: Pro season, and that was on a miserable defense. There 237 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: was still interest in him as a productive football player, 238 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: where a lot of times the way that the C 239 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: B A and everything is structured now and teams aren't 240 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: willing to take chances on veterans. It's like, hey man, 241 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: this this is the team that you got and they're 242 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: the only ones that want to sign you. So right, 243 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: But even even the highly touted guys like Zadarius Smith 244 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: wasn't going around and checking out tours. He just got 245 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: the best offer from the Packers and that thing was 246 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: done before Freed AND's even started, and that's kind of 247 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: how it goes. But McCoy, you know, he's later in 248 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: his life. He seems like a really smart, interesting guy too, 249 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: and I think he was thinking quality of life and 250 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: I think it really sounded like Ron Rivera and staying 251 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: in the South in general, like was a comfort for him. 252 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: And I wonder if the age um, the respective ages 253 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: of his teammates on the defensive line had anything to 254 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: do with his with his choice, He's going with a 255 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: group of veterans who have been in the league in 256 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: certain difference that suations versus you know, in those a 257 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: f C North teams where the guys were a little 258 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: bit younger. Gets to take on his old team a 259 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: couple of times a year, including in London this year. 260 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: He'll have to wait a year, uh to make a 261 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: return to Tampa. As Greg said, they'll play their game 262 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: against the Bucks this year in London. Moving on Matt Lafleur, 263 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: tough setback for the first year Packers coach, who was 264 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: playing that old game knockout great game greats uh, you know, 265 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: playground basketball game. It's where you shoot the foul shot 266 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: and if you get it, you get you grab the 267 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: ball and get back to the line and you gotta 268 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: make it for the other guy shoots his foul shot. 269 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: If he misses it, he has to grab the rebound 270 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: put it in. There is a lot of stopping and 271 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: starting and sprinting. And what happened is thirty nine year 272 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: old man Matt Lafleur playing that game is Achilles pops. 273 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: That sucks. He undergoes surgery on Sunday, UH and under 274 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: unfortunately that means he'll be severely limited in his mobility. 275 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Showed up at packers UM mini camp this week in 276 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: a souped up golf cart and that's how he'll coach 277 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the rest of o t A s UH and mandatory 278 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: mini camps and I imagine UM into training camp, although 279 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: maybe he'll be out crutches or something by July. Either way, 280 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of it was kind of a funny subplot, 281 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: or it was kind of described that way. How silly 282 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: knock out, But that sucks. This is a guy that's 283 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: trying to get established on the sideline, be a hands 284 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: on coach, show what he can do, and this is 285 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: not going to help him. It reminds me that one 286 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: other instance of this that I can recall was when 287 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: Don Shula in the final weeks of the season, back 288 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: when Greg and Dan were like eight and I was 289 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: forty seven. According to um, he he had tore he 290 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: ruptures achilles too. And the age is still on your 291 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: radar after well, it's brought up every five seconds on 292 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: this show. When I look just as young as both 293 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: of you. But Don did not look so young, and 294 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: he was this sort of aging coach ro mean up 295 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: and down the Dolphins sideline during these critical late season 296 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: matchups and into the playoffs on this slow moving cart 297 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL behind the scenes, I went back and 298 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: looked at there were some reports that the NFL was 299 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: a little annoyed that Sula wouldn't just go up into 300 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the booth, but he wanted to be down with his players. 301 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: The same issue La Fleur faces. But I found this 302 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: quote where this one uh NFL official privately remarked to 303 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: Larry Guest of the Orlando Sentinel that you can imagine 304 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: the uproar of say, Steve Young had injured himself crashing 305 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: into Don Chula's dawn cart, and then later on the 306 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: fact that there was a playoff game in San Diego 307 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: with some wet surface where they went on to lose 308 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: to the Chargers. Because the Charges went onto the Super 309 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: Bowl that year, that they wanted no one on the 310 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: field to practice for the game, but Sula insisted on 311 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: going out on the field and going up and down 312 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: the sideline before the game on his cart and causing 313 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: all these issues in the field. They're just like, can 314 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: we please put this man up in the booth at 315 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: long last? And he refused to. And I think I 316 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: think La Fleur got some grief. Um, he had one 317 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: cart that didn't look too good and then he kind 318 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: of brought out a more souped up one. How souped 319 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: up are we talking here the next day? I don't know. 320 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: That's what Rodgers Rogers said. And he also said he 321 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: had a tumble. He had a scooter and had a 322 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: little tumble on the scooter before they went to the 323 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: golf cart. Rogers read out a pre written script to say, 324 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: I want to say Matt Lafleur is a highly athletic 325 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: former athlete who had an unfortunate accident in the gym, 326 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: but because of an exceptional diet and work ethic he'll 327 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: be back sooner than later. Let's as a fan by 328 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: the way of knocked out, what a great game for 329 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: like a five ft five guy sneaking terms of basketball, 330 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: I love that knockout is the person that's in front 331 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: of you that can't pass, and so they'll throw you 332 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: this miserable pass and you'll have to reach to get it, 333 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: and then it just sets off a whole chain of events. 334 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's probably somebody to blame for Matt La. 335 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: This reminds me of when Daniel Jeremiah tore his achilles 336 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: playing basketball in his late thirties a few years ago, 337 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: and the dangerous big high open um. As a little guy, 338 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: you're saying because you didn't have to box anybody out, 339 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: there was nobody under the glass necessarily to fight for. 340 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: This was all about wind and just shooting. There's not 341 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: your height didn't get in your way at all those 342 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: things he could do as a short basketball You did 343 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: well in our pig contest during West's Batchelor weekend. Moving 344 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: on the Cleveland Browns, a little bit of drama in 345 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Brown's camps, centering on running back Duke Johnson, who reminded 346 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: everyone on the first day of mini camp that he 347 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: wants out. Um. He skipped voluntary workouts last month after 348 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: the Brown signed Cream Hunt. He was in Cleveland on Tuesday, 349 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: but doesn't mean he's in. Only different here's a quote, 350 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: only differences. This is mandatory. Nothing has changed. Johnson. Um 351 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: has said that John Dorsey, the Brown's GM, had shopped 352 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: him for a month before he made his trade request. 353 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: There's nothing the team can do at this point to 354 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: change his mind. He wants out. Um. That led to 355 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, who had this to say to the assembled media. 356 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: You know, it's self inflicted. It is what it is. 357 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: It's not awkward for anybody else in this building. He's 358 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: got to do his job. And he said he's a professional. 359 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: I hope he does his job. And Freddie Kitchens had 360 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: this to say, he wants to be traded. You know, 361 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: I want to win the lottery, all right, So it 362 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's a Cleveland Brown, he's on the contract. 363 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna be used to the best of his ability 364 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: and what benefits the team. People are annoyed with Duke Johnson. 365 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: I'm kind of annoyed that they're annoyed to Johnson, Like 366 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 1: it's it's at this point, Um, because both of these 367 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: guys said it is what it is, which effectively doesn't 368 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: mean anything. Nobody's saying anything when they say that. Um. 369 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: I think Duke Johnson was reacting to the fact that 370 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: he was on the trade block, said all right, yeah, 371 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: if you if you guys want to trade me, then 372 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: let's have some discussions. They didn't ultimately trade him, and 373 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: so he's asked the question, hey, do you want to 374 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: be traded? Yeah, I'd still be traded. And somehow this 375 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: is creating a thing when what's the actual problem. I 376 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: don't know that there is an actual problem, right Baker Mayfield. 377 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: I have a feeling, won't I wonder as he gets older, 378 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: he'll maybe not think it's even worth getting into someone 379 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: else's pocket like that. I was just about to say 380 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: the same thing. I wonder if ten years from now, 381 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield he's doing things like talking to the media 382 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: about this, or fighting with Colin Coward on social media, 383 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: things that he probably doesn't need to be involved with. 384 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: But at this stage he feels that he has. Well. 385 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: Duke got and got bad. He got some bad timing. 386 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: He signed a three year contract less than a year ago, 387 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: and so it was not a good contract. If you 388 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: go look at it, I would say it's not a 389 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: great Yeah, it was a great it was team friendly, 390 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: uh for sure. Uh. And it wasn't a great contract. 391 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: And then the coach you know that was there when 392 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: he signed that contracts no longer there. They put him 393 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: on the trade buck. They signed Kareem Hunt, but they're 394 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: gonna use I mean, Duke Johnson's pretty valuable player for them. Well, 395 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: you don't have Kareem Hunt until deep into the season, 396 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: and if anything happens to Nick Chubb, you suddenly have 397 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: no one in running back essentially, so they do need him. 398 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: I don't like Duke Johnson has vocally talked about himself 399 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: as a featured back since he hit the league because 400 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: of his very successful career at Miami, and he has. 401 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: If you look at him from a certain collection of statistics, 402 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: he has been a pretty solid NFL player, better than 403 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: solid and certain statistics. Yet he his volume as a 404 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: running back has never really carried out. He did not 405 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: beat out Isaiah Crowel for a featured role, So I 406 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: think they're in a bit of a place. I think 407 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: they couldn't trade him. They didn't find anyone that wanted 408 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: him for what they wanted to give him away for. 409 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: But I don't really have a big problem with I 410 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: know I I was on Twitter, I say once all 411 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: said at Baker Mayfield for saying something I don't know, 412 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: like I guess from the from the perspective of a 413 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: Browns fan that watched thirty four previous, like ultra breezy quarterbacks, 414 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: not really call out anyone on the team for any reason. 415 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't have. This is Baker Mayfield and the experience 416 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 1: includes this, and it includes the good stuff too. You 417 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: can't just slice off. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say I'm 418 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: definitely not killing him. I think it does when the 419 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: star quarterback inserts himself into it and makes it a 420 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: bigger story. Do you want to make something like this 421 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: a bigger No? I don't, but I think it's no. 422 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how they what the how the whole 423 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: the media thing works out. When they put Duke Johnson 424 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: out there on June four, this story was inevitable. You're 425 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: going to get this, is that what they wanted? Like 426 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: it was. It was not the first person I would 427 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: have put out there to talk to begin with. And 428 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: the thing that I come back to does any of 429 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: it actually matter? Does this affect the Browns wins and losses? 430 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: Or is this would we just be talking about something else. Now, 431 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: he'll be out there when it's mandatory and camp and 432 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: he'll be you know, uh, nice role player on a 433 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: good looking off. Let's move on the end of the road. 434 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: Happy trails to Navarro Bowman, who stopped by Niners of 435 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: the Niners facility um this week and told the team 436 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: that uh he wanted to retire as a member of 437 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: the forty Niners, the team he played his first seven 438 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: plus years. Bowman is a really sad story of this 439 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: decade of the NFL. To me Um, he came into 440 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: the league UM as a third round pick and instantly 441 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: was perhaps Um one of the best defensive players in 442 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: the league, not perhaps he was one of the best 443 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: defensive players league, arguably the best linebacker in the league. 444 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: He was named first team All Pro four times, three 445 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Bowl appearances. Really was the heartbeat of that 446 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: great Niners defense that went to three straight NFC title 447 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: games starting with the two thousand eleven season. The last 448 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: game they appeared in is when he suffered that horrendous 449 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: knee injury He was really a gruesome UH play near 450 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: the goal line, and he missed the entire next season. 451 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: UM came back, he got another All Pro, maybe a 452 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: little bit more on reputation than bounced to Oakland out 453 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: of the league last year. So it was a knee 454 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: injury that from a Hall of Fame trajectory to his 455 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: career essentially being over a few years later. So sad 456 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: story in that sense, but still he was a success 457 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: story as a third round pick. UH and the Niners 458 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: will no doubt put him in their Ring of Honor 459 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: or some such honors. Had one of the stadium closing 460 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: plays of all time that would be a good list. 461 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we're hurting for content on dot com on 462 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: June and July the best stadium closing plays, and certainly 463 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: vine Terry's kick UH kind of stands out. But Bowman 464 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: had the pick six against the Falcons. It was in 465 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: the red zone to put them in the playoffs on 466 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: the final final game ever played at Candlestick. It doesn't 467 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: get much better than that, Like a pick six to 468 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: win the game with about a minute left. You know 469 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: the nickname for it, right, pick up the stick, the miracle, 470 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: the stick. No, it's not the miracle. It was a 471 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: little a little less than a miracle. But the pick 472 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: of the stick is that what it is. Pick at 473 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: the stick. I always think about him and Patrick Willis together. 474 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: It's pretty a special linebacker group. Um that one guy 475 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: retired earlier and the other guy had had an injury, 476 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: and it's just how fleeting, uh success can be and 477 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: how we need to kind of appreciate these guys when 478 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: when they're special. Right like the red zone. The other 479 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: red zone play that stands out is that, you know, 480 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: I think people forget that Falcons forty Niners NFC Championship 481 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,479 Speaker 1: game where the Falcons get into the red zone, they 482 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: look like they're gonna go win the game, uh, and 483 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: they do not end up scoring. It was Patrick Willis, 484 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: I think with the past deflection with the at the 485 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: very end, but the two of them were just that 486 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: it was tough to get around those two. It was 487 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: tough to get to the outside on those is that 488 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: one Roddy White and Richard Sherman were jawing. There was 489 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: a long touchdown trying to think of that was the 490 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: the game you're talking about, no Sherman, I mean, for 491 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: it was the noise in that game was insane, and 492 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: it was Kaepernick having to deal with an incredible noise. Yeah, 493 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: and in the end it looked like the Falcons might 494 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: make make a comeback and pull a really big comeback 495 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl. But but Willison Bowman 496 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: helped block it them. All. Right, let's move on NFL 497 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 1: Commissioner Roger Goodell. He was at Jim Kelly's UH charity 498 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: golf tournament outside Buffalo, New York, and he touched on 499 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 1: again UH sub thing that's come up UM repeatedly in 500 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: recent years. He reiterated his stance he wants to reduce 501 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: the preseason schedule UM at a time. Now the league 502 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: and Players Association have begun preliminary talks UH toward a 503 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: new cb A. Here's what Goodell said. I feel like 504 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: what we should be doing is always to the highest quality, 505 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure preseason games meet that level right now. 506 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure talking with coaches that four preseason games 507 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: is necessary anymore to get ready for a season, to 508 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: evaluate players, developed players. There are other ways of doing that, 509 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: and we've had a lot of discussions about that. UM. 510 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: The NFL, they're backed the idea of reducing the preseason. 511 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: But there is also the other end of it, where 512 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: do those two games go. Well, the idea of expanding 513 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: to an eight teen game regular season, something the players 514 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: Claibroon are against, citing both health concerns it's already grind 515 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: enough sixteen games and also the idea, well, if you 516 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: want to UM have us do more work, you gotta 517 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: pay us more for that work. So this, to me 518 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: could be the thorniest or among the thorniest issues as 519 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: the c b A approaches. And and that's what jumps 520 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: out to me is as the c b A approaches 521 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: and it seems like around this time, UM discussion about 522 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: adding games to the schedule seems to come up, and 523 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: it's almost like a pre negotiation tactic, like, Oh, this 524 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: is the thing we care a lot about. We care 525 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: a lot about this, and then once the conversation starts, it's, oh, well, 526 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to give up on this thing that 527 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: we really really care about. Guys, but hey, uh, you know, 528 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: we'll we'll keep the same money split and then things 529 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: go back to normal. So I I just it's tough 530 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: for me to to kind of latch onto the idea 531 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: when when it feels like an early negotiation text. Well, 532 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, the marijuana policy is certainly something I think 533 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: the league could you know, use and I feel the 534 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,239 Speaker 1: same way about that, right, That's what I mean. They 535 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: could use that as a negotiating but it's a little 536 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: different like Jay Glazer had it in his mail bag bag. 537 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: I know you don't like that to be brought up 538 00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: on the show, but it's just it's email. Yeah. Uh. 539 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: In the Athletic that he he does think that it 540 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: will be a two game preseason in the next c 541 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: B A. And whether it's lacking FA or Mark Maski 542 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: of the Washington Post, you know, does think that they're 543 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: gonna push that the eighteen game season. And one idea 544 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: that was floated out there was everyone but quarterbacks would 545 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: play sixteen games, but the quarterbacks would play eighteen real 546 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: football like fantasy football at that point, Well that that 547 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: basically that the players only play sixteen. You know that 548 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: their body who knows. It's It's interesting to me that 549 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: the idea that additional pay by week I think I 550 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: think much more likely possibility, which seems to me like 551 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: a relative no brainer, is just give every team an 552 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: extra bye week, because that's an extra week of TV 553 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: for everyone and everyone gets two buys, and who is 554 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: going to complain about that? I act and I think 555 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: it's schedule. I sixteen games schedule and two bye weeks 556 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: for every team. Well, there was a year that had 557 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: two by week two write a couple of years and 558 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: people didn't like it for I don't remember the reasons 559 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: why that was back in the nineties. But that's a 560 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: way where without you know, if anything that's adding to 561 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: player safety, it's adding you know, money, which is what 562 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: everyone's concerned about, and seems like it when we I 563 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: don't really like the idea. Necessarily it's just like another 564 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: just another week of work for us. It's very selfish. 565 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: Well it's more than that. If it's eighteen games, just 566 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: one and no sixteen games, but eighteen weeks would have one. 567 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: I would just say that the one The one snag though, 568 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: is that there are there are players that need the preseason, 569 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: and that's always been the issue. The product is we 570 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: get it. It is white hot garbage compared to the 571 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: one thing about the preseason. It starts, you're excited for it, 572 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: then by the end of week one of the preseason, 573 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: un realizing this needs to end, right now, so I 574 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: get the product not uh making sense with the rest 575 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: of what the NFL offers, but we also forget in 576 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: the middle of June that when you get into some 577 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: of these games, even late November early December, there are 578 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: some trashbag scenarios happening on teams where we don't need 579 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: two extra weeks of like the most hideous third or 580 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: fourth string quarterbacks squaring off on primetime against another hideous 581 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: third string clips flip side teams that are say seven 582 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: or eight then be dead. Otherwise two extra games, they're 583 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: still in the mix. Is this really what? Do fans 584 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: really need two more regular season games? Though I do 585 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: not personally. Yeah, what's the problem that we're trying to 586 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: solve that? Like the preseason is not as entertaining as 587 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: it should, just sixteen games is perfect? Well, I here, here'sactly. 588 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: Here's the problem is that they charge full price for 589 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: those tickets and otherwise there isn't any isn't any problem. 590 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: But it's it's the time of year to bring up 591 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: some wild things. They were talking about maybe making the 592 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: field bigger. That's interesting to me. Glazer throughout that one 593 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: on Glazer throughout that one field a little bigger. That 594 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: would be good for players safe. It's it's an interest 595 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: they interesting side because everyone's faster and bigger. It's not 596 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: that crazy. Finally on the throne of sleeves. The Patriots 597 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: are looking uh to move on from the Gronk era, 598 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: and Austin Saverian Jenkins was to have to be a 599 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: part of that movement forward, not anymore. Uh. He signed 600 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: a one year contract in April tenth, but he wasn't 601 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: at the team's bandicourt mandatory minicamp Tuesday. UH, and it 602 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: turns out he's been released. The Pat's cut Safarian Jenkins, 603 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: who has some personal issues going on, and um, perhaps 604 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: they revisit their relationship once that situation is taken care of, 605 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: if it gets taken care of, But for now, UM 606 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: s a s no wait. I got this A s 607 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: j um exits a picture. He's still got Benjamin Watson, 608 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: who they brought out of retirement, but he's suspended for 609 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: the first four games. So you've got guys like Matt Lacosse, 610 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: Ryan is Oh, Steven Anderson, Andrew Beck. What is going 611 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: on at the tight end position for the defending champs 612 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: grag I think Safari and Jenkins was a long chat 613 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: to make the team regardless for whatever reason. No one's uh, 614 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, wants to get on board with the Matt 615 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: lacos era. But he was the guy that they gave 616 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: half a million dollars to guaranteed uh to sign with them, 617 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: and he very likely will be starting Week one, whether 618 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: Ben Watson was eligible or not. He's more of a 619 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: Duane Allen type, you know, get excited. This is my 620 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: weekly reminder that set to Valve will be on the 621 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: Patriots come week window wide open. I mean every time. 622 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: Consider when I told you this five weeks ago, it 623 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: was like, oh, that just seems like a little that's 624 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: a little bit ridiculous because we talked about Seth and 625 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: it was like two weeks ago it was like, I mean, 626 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: it kind of fits if he gets cut, but no, 627 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: probably definitely not gonna happen. Now it's like it's happening. 628 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: Just lock it in until that happened, though, right, this 629 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: feels like a premature Matt lacosse, you know, essentially, besides, 630 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: he's leaving the NFL to pick up a role as 631 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: a shop right baggage handler. Script girl just wants to 632 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: stay home a more comfortable right. Where shop are they 633 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: around East coast? We had a shop right town Like 634 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: it's a classic g glorcery store scenario. Oh yea, there 635 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: they're around Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. 636 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: Shop right was the supermarket of the town of friendly people. 637 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: That's where everybody you saw, everybody a chop right. That's 638 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: is it a problem did not have We didn't have 639 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: shop rights and I'm buying. That's the slogan. It's right 640 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 1: there in Route three or four on a big sign um. 641 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: All right, this Father's Day, give dad a gift pact 642 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: with the Omaha Steaks he craves. Go to Omaha Steaks 643 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: dot com and enter a code around in the search 644 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: bar for seventy four percent off the Father's Day Steak 645 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: Fixed gift package.

I got a 678 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: job as a cashier a Shop Right, and it was 679 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: the first time math really banged me in a big spot. Um. 680 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: Of course I got the thirty nine on the state 681 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: mandated test in high school. UM went there, and back 682 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: then there was a lot of cash, it was, and 683 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: now everybody used their cards. Back then there was a 684 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: lot of cash and Mom's writing checks, and that was 685 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: really how the game worked and the big part of 686 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: the end of the day. You had to balance the till. 687 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: The till had to be balanced, so there had to 688 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: be the right money given out. Sometimes Mom would write checks. 689 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: It was a thirty eight dollar grocery build. They type 690 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: in fifty eight because Mom wants that extra twenty in cash. 691 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,479 Speaker 1: Who knows what she's doing with it, but I'm giving 692 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: it to her. But all that stuff made the till 693 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: pretty hard to balance, and I failed to balanced until 694 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: on three separate occasions got me written up and led 695 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: to me eventually moving down. It doesn't like they put 696 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: you with your skill set into the best into the 697 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: best role. They're knowing that you are, but the freezer 698 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: in the freezer? What was the total loss? Here? In 699 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: the write ups that would say how much, it was 700 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: usually like they probably thought I was stealing money, cause 701 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure there are a lot of dirt bags that 702 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: would steal money. I was just handing out money that 703 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: wasn't here's a chance to Did you ever steal any 704 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: money you can hold up now and not be in 705 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: you Never? I would never steal cash from a business. 706 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean the word got out though about dan as 707 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: as an easy mark among kind of like the like 708 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: the match stick Man. Have you ever seen match stick Man? 709 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: Just kind of like the ones with they who like 710 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: to play some games are just like, oh yeah, I 711 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: hit up by off of me, like you know, right, 712 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: the check start saying a bunch of numbers, get confused. 713 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: Would you ever get like nervous and start to sweat 714 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: a little? Some of those like public facing roles. I 715 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: worked in the brand union and you have to deal 716 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: with customer, you know, the answer. Just like I applied 717 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: to stopping multiple times, never got hired stopping shop. Please, well, 718 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: you have to nail the interview. Maybe you were a 719 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: little I never even I never even got it. I 720 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: don't think really, never got hired. All right, let's get 721 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: to it. Everybody knows comeback play competitive. Clayburn's looking at me. 722 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: I just why would somebody not hire a young Greg Rosenthal? 723 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: I just don't know. Did you you were in an 724 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: emo band at that point or whatever? I don't know. 725 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how like a teenage Greg Rosenthal would 726 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: interview I never interviewed with them. They never called me back. 727 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: Those were competitive jobs because because you were competing with 728 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: high school kids, but you know, the regular workforce too, 729 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: and they paid they paid better. Like I ended up 730 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: working at a golf course or whatever that paid a 731 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: minimum wage. It's stopping shop. They'd paid ten eleven ten 732 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: of eleven bucks like a minimum That's what I'm saying. 733 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: Stopping shop was Okay, maybe it wasn't that, but they 734 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: were well above minimum wage starting out, and so those 735 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: were competitive. Had like five classmates working with me at 736 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: Grand Union. I mean, it must have been a different job, 737 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you Springfield. Springfield is maybe a little 738 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: bit more of a depressed economy at the time, so 739 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: it was a little more it was a little more competitive. 740 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Greg is rewriting history from the multiple directions 741 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: to explain this. But you can go through a Springfield 742 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: mass tell me what you think. Um, all right, let's 743 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: get into it. Come down, players of the year. Like 744 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: I said, players that maybe we'll have a regression to 745 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: the mead. Come down a little bit. Um, I'll get 746 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: it going. How about that. I'll start things off. And 747 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: the reason I'll started off with a bang? Why not 748 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: start at the very top of the game. And I 749 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: will say Patrick Mahomes. Then Patrick Clayban nods his head 750 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,479 Speaker 1: because yes, is it maybe an obvious pick? Yeah? Maybe, 751 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: But let's just talk about it. Because I do not 752 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: think by any stretch that Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs 753 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: is going to crater this season. Absolutely not. But what 754 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: I think would happened last year, And certainly it could 755 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: be wrong. We could be dealing with a talent that 756 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: is so transcendent that he's going to rewrite the record books. 757 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: But more than likely, Um, having followed the game for 758 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: many years, it's probably more likely that it's a Dan 759 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: Marino eight four type situation where this is a all 760 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 1: time um talent that could go on if he stays 761 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: healthy and on the right track to have a Hall 762 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: of Fame career in Mahomes, But like Marino who in 763 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: the eight four season, and the numbers are bonkers now 764 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: because you it's hard to remove it. Um. You know, 765 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: the time context is so important. When Marino threw for 766 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: five thousand yards and forty eight touchdowns with a pass 767 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,439 Speaker 1: rating of one o nine and throwing for three yards 768 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: a game, that stuff was unheard of nine yards per 769 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: attempt uh, and that's kind of if you look at 770 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: what Mahomes did last year, almost the equivalenteen what he did, 771 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: which was five thousand yards, about fifty yards fifth touchdowns 772 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: through the year, nine point six yards per attempt um, 773 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: a QBR of eight two, pass rating of one fourteen. 774 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: So what Marino did as a follow up, um, it 775 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: was great. He led the league in touchdowns, but he 776 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: only threw thirty the next year. He was still a 777 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: great quarterback, but he didn't have that type of historic season. 778 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm thinking with Mahomes that yes, he 779 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: would be He'll still be in the conversation for first 780 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: team All Pro. He's still gonna be maybe maybe the 781 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league. But and the reasons why, Oh, 782 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: because Tyreek Hill is not there, That's why. And maybe 783 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: that's not gonna help if Hill's not playing. But I 784 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: really think it's more that Mahomes did something truly historic 785 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: last year that it's gonna be very hard for him 786 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: to ever top. It could be wrong, I'd like to 787 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 1: be wrong, but if he's in the mix for first 788 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: team All Pro, then I feel like, yeah, that's not 789 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: even I mean, maybe it's a come down from where 790 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: he was, but that's what I'm saying, that gonna be 791 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: a great quarterback. This is a little bit of a 792 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: side note, but are we your Tyreek Hill is not 793 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: going to be there? I know we're not supposed to. Well, 794 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: it's a fourth, it's a factor to mention. They've kept 795 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: the window. I just as this is going on, and 796 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 1: he'll face a league suspension, you would you would assume. 797 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 1: But as this is going on, I think it's interesting 798 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: how quiet the Chiefs has been. That's all, but we 799 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: can move on. They also they also you know, they 800 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: had Kareem Hunt for part of last year as well, 801 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: you have, but you have potentially lost at least one 802 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: or two of these guys, and even if, even if 803 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: um they're able to maintain the success that Damian Williams 804 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: had late in the season to replace Kareem Hunt, and 805 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: even if Tyreek Hill is there. It was such a 806 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: lightning and a bottle type moment for last year was 807 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: one of those. And then he breaks the rules. Though 808 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: we talked about him a lot in the off season 809 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: last year and there was understandable chatter, uh, you know, 810 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: are we hyping this guy up a little too much? 811 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, and we weren't doing it nearly enough. I 812 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 1: do think he just kind of breaks all rules. So yeah, 813 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: maybe some of the numbers will go down a little bit, 814 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 1: but I still expect to believe that he's the best 815 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: quarterback and he could be an even better football player, 816 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: but still not have the success that was a truly 817 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: special season. And again the parallel with Marino and Mahomes 818 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: both their second seasons, both at age twenty three, So like, 819 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: that's right. I think Mahomes what we're looking at as 820 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: the beginning of a Hall of Fame career. But will 821 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: you ever reach the heights of last year, which were insane, Greg, 822 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: you're next. Well, now I feel like I gotta take 823 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: a big swing. I got, I got a bunch of 824 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: different names. I think Drew Brees is gonna start coming 825 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: back to the pack a little and that's I guess 826 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: that's where I'll start. Just because he was right there 827 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: in the m v P talk with Mahomes, I don't 828 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: think it was as crazy one side and even a 829 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: race is now that we think about it, that his 830 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: his season was just so extraordinary and everything there has 831 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: been great for so long. There's no real reason to 832 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: think it's gonna fall off a cliff. But can their 833 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: offensive line stay as good and stay healthy? Can can 834 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: everything around breeze? Uh? You know be as just totally electric? 835 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: Are the defenses in the NFC South gonna get a 836 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: little bit better? I just feel like he's he's overdue 837 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: to come down, And it doesn't make a difference to me. 838 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: He's forty. It has to happen eventually, a little gradual 839 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: of decline. Well you're doing you're making a mistake I 840 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: made several years ago with Tom Brady where you're not 841 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: basing on anything else other than it's just got to happen. 842 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: It's time for it to happen. I'm basing it also 843 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: on breezes career over the last five years, which just 844 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: had some ups and downs, which I think, you know 845 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 1: you you forget about. There was there was four about 846 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: three or four years ago. I thought he was starting 847 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: to make a the clinate forget if it was two 848 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: thousand fifteen or sixteen, where he probably wasn't at his best, 849 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: and he certainly wasn't at his best at the end 850 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: of last season. I don't think he was playing his 851 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: very best football then. So I he's still a top 852 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: ten quarterback. Yeah, I would expect that, but I wouldn't 853 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: expect him to be one of the top two or 854 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks in the league. That's expecting too much of 855 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: someone his age. And they could still be a great 856 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: team if he takes a step back. They have enough 857 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: talent on both sides. He doesn't have to be as 858 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: supremely great as it was, and that's why he can 859 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: be Tom Brady two thousand eighteen. That team won. That's 860 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: why what happened last year is so painful for Saints 861 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 1: fans for obvious reasons. Getting robbed by the officials the 862 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: way they were, but also such a perfect storm and 863 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: a special season for them where they had there had 864 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: every everything cooking and breeze, having yet another elite all 865 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: time season. And then it gets kind of it's amazing. 866 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: It was by the way that he threw seventeen interceptions 867 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: and I don't think played quite as well. That was 868 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: like six five seasons ago. It's a man's amazing the 869 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 1: career that he said, all right, Clay, you're up. Okay. 870 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,439 Speaker 1: So last year Aaron Donald had forty one quarterback hits. 871 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: He was, in my opinion, the runaway best player in football, 872 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: as he has been for the past few seasons. The 873 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: I still feel like Aaron Donald is the best player 874 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: in football. But to have that kind of success, even 875 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: better than his previous years, there has to be some 876 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: sort of drop off. And I was almost gonna make 877 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: the same Mahomes pick that you did, and I figured, 878 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, I got a swing big for defences, you know, 879 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: a replacement player just getting in here again. All right, 880 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: you have a good war though we're gonna strike out, 881 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: I might as well. Yeah, swing hard and heavy. It's 882 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: like Adam Dunn style. You're a three outcome podcaster and 883 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: so it's just he's been so dominant twenty and a 884 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: half sacks um. It just has to fall. He had 885 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: the it just has sacks have to fall. He had 886 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: the defensive lineman equivalent of the baseball Triple Crown. Last 887 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 1: year he led the league with sacks, tackles for lost 888 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: quarterback hits um. But the one thing I'll say, because 889 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: I see him is different than Mahomes and that I 890 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: just think that's who this dude is. Like, I could 891 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: see him putting up in two or three more years 892 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: like this before he starts the second second. It's the 893 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: highest QB hits you ever had, but the second most 894 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: you ever had. He's done in four seasons now, and 895 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: now he's getting to the point where, like, of course 896 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Fame player, but he's putting together 897 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: now a five year run which is starting to rival, 898 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, the greats of the great defensive linemen of 899 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: all time. I do think this the sack number historically, 900 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: I would guarantee that could almost be had because he 901 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: never had more than eleven previously. And if you look 902 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: at the other dudes that topped out, stray Haan went 903 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: from twenty two point five to eleven. The next year, 904 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: Jared Allen went from twenty two to twelve. The next year, 905 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: Mark Gastin no way back when went from twenty two 906 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: to thirteen and a half, Justin Houston twenty two to 907 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: seven point five, Chris Doleman to eleven, and Lawrence Taylor 908 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: from twenty five to twelve. So I think that that 909 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: from that one category. But I mean, we're not really 910 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: those are all. We're not saying like, oh, these guys 911 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: physical traits are gonna fall apart, but there's some outlier 912 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 1: seasons where you're gonna come back to the meaning a 913 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: little and when you've had this kind of sustained success 914 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: to a to a certain extent, he's dictating the draft 915 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: processes in the West, like teams are structuring themselves in 916 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 1: terms of how do we deal with Aaron Donald? And 917 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: there just has to be a drop off at some point, 918 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: and like Greg said, put him in Canton. Just just 919 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: go ahead and get ready to do it. I wonder 920 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 1: do you think J. J. Watts greatness has been overshadowed 921 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: a little bit by Donald in recent years because if 922 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: you look at what what did three or four or 923 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: five years ago, you could argue it's even more impressive 924 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 1: than what Donald's doing now. But now it seems like 925 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: Donald is just ratinized for him. I think that as 926 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 1: the greatest defender of his I think, to use one 927 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: of your phrases, he's been adequately praised, at least in 928 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 1: this room. J. G. Watt in this room, yes, but 929 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: I I don't think to me, I would even take 930 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: what's very peak over Donald. But what what what Donald's 931 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: now put together four years at that insane level, which 932 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 1: what couldn't do in a row because of injuries? Uh Europe? 933 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 1: Mark sel all right? I I looked for a player 934 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: who last year kind of shot out of the skies 935 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: to do something we hadn't seen him do before, and 936 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: why I don't think it's going to happen again. And 937 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: it's Eric Ebron who had fourteen touchdowns last year for 938 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,720 Speaker 1: the Cults after never you know, and we understand Detroit 939 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: was not It was a much better fit to be 940 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,240 Speaker 1: in that offense with in Indianapolis than anything that happened 941 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: in Detroit. But he never had more than five. And 942 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: there's other factors happening. There are and you can take 943 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: it as what you want. For many camp reports that 944 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: Mo Ali Cox is turning into a major factor for them. 945 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: That's what part one. Also, Jack Doyle, who played just 946 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: six games last year, is back as well, and so 947 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: the position is more crowded. And I think that Eric 948 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: Ebron nice season, um solid player, But are we going 949 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: to get anything like that again? And will he even 950 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: be used or leaned on quite as much? I would 951 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: say no, we are almost on. This could alternate or 952 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: also be accepted as a Mark Sessler fantasy corner segment 953 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 1: for those of you who saw what I Run did 954 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: last year and everyone's you know, high on the cults 955 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: and the idea, oh he'll do it again. Well maybe 956 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: not well, still high on the cults. I think they 957 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: just have more people to give it to spread it 958 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: around to you too. In terms of the touchdowns, touchdowns 959 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: for Eric Ebron one five one four in his previous 960 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 1: seasons with Detroit and just jumps off the page at 961 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,759 Speaker 1: you to have that kind of success, because touchdowns are 962 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: hard to predict, especially a tight end UH in terms 963 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 1: unless it's Gronk or Travis Kelsey, and even those guys 964 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 1: aren't well. It's a great pick because it's like he 965 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: wasn't even playing that much last year he was he 966 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: was very often playing thirty snaps a game. He was 967 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: just kind of like, you know, a loaded up, uh 968 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: fantasy guy. But he wasn't playing that much more than 969 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: the other tight ends on their roster. Let's go one 970 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: one more time around the horn. It was a little 971 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: bit of a come down speed round, rolls off the 972 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: top nicely. I like it, um this one. It doesn't 973 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 1: bring me any joy to say a Hall of Fame 974 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: player is about to play his last season, But that's 975 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Adrian Peterson, who despite a one 976 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: thousand yards season last year, he's the all time come 977 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: back player of the Year for what he did in 978 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, coming off the shredded knee and running 979 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: for two thousand yards the way he did. And he's 980 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,800 Speaker 1: going to Canton. But here's one thousand yards with Washington 981 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,839 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit, I don't know. It looks better 982 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: on paper than it was in reality. What if you 983 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: looked at what he did on a game to game basis. 984 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 1: I believe there was a ninety five yard touchdown run 985 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: that helped juices um yards per attempt average, and with 986 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 1: Darius Guys coming back from injury, there's some more options 987 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: in the backfield. This is a team in transition on offense, 988 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: the Redskins. And despite the fact that Peterson is saying 989 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: to the media this week that he's still setting his 990 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: goal two thousand yards and I don't think he should 991 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 1: be mocked for that because he's an all time great 992 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: athlete and that's just the way his mindset is. I 993 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 1: think it's more likely that he does not get the 994 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 1: workload uh he maybe expects. I hope it doesn't end 995 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 1: poorly with him requesting a release or getting cut, but 996 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 1: I just don't imagine him having a big part of 997 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: this Redskins offense. And beyond that, maybe he I don't 998 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 1: want him to turn in the way Jamal charles career ended, 999 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: where he's bouncing around and being on the team for 1000 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: three or four weeks that has injury issues. But I 1001 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: would not be shocked if that's how Peterson's career wraps up. 1002 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: He's due for a come doown. M sobering guys, never 1003 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: doubt Adrian Peterson. He'll just come and get you. I 1004 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 1: think if it if it does end, and however it ends, 1005 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 1: he's going to finish things up in Washington I just 1006 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,799 Speaker 1: it feels like this is the last him getting Yeah, 1007 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 1: him getting that season last year actually felt like it 1008 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: was a nice kind of both, you know, a nice 1009 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 1: bow on on his career after what had been a 1010 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: couple of pretty ugly years that he got one more 1011 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: year where everyone remembered, Oh yeah, Adrian Peterson's probably the 1012 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: most exciting running back we've seen. What about you, Greg, 1013 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm gonna sneak to and just because 1014 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: they're on the same team, and I'm gonna go to 1015 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: Dante Fowler and Jared Goff of the Rams coming coming 1016 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: back to couch not a great segment for Rams fans. 1017 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: I just feel like foul Fowler's a guy who we've 1018 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: seen kind of what he can do throughout his career. 1019 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: And he had a great five week run. Uh that 1020 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: so he just high led down from those five weeks 1021 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Well, he got paid paid quite a bit. Uh. 1022 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,839 Speaker 1: And I don't know, like I think, I think he's 1023 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:28,280 Speaker 1: absolutely solid NFL starting quarterback. And I've I've wondered throughout 1024 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 1: like is he a difference maker or is he closer 1025 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,800 Speaker 1: to the Dalton scale? And we'll see last year for 1026 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: much of the year he did feel like a difference 1027 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 1: big gear for him. Absolutely, claib I'll step outside of 1028 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: the player room and take a flyer on the premise 1029 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: and go with Matt NIGGI Um, I like that. I 1030 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 1: just you know, Trayvon Hester tip to kick. This was 1031 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: a team had that had an opportunity to go to 1032 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and there's just been a lot of 1033 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 1: turnover and a lot of change. Uh Fangio is in 1034 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:04,280 Speaker 1: Denver now. I just, um, I don't see the success. 1035 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: I don't see the success this year. I like that 1036 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 1: because I think it's hard for coaches to matter that 1037 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: as much as Naggy helped them a year ago. I 1038 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: think it's just hard for coaches to matter that much 1039 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: year after year. I just don't think they do or 1040 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:21,319 Speaker 1: generally do. Like he was giving them huge schematic advantages, 1041 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: and it's like, how many coaches can do that year 1042 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 1: after year. It's almost impossible. We are on the same page. 1043 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: Because you had Aaron Donald Patrick and that was topping 1044 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: my list and my second was, well, my second was 1045 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 1: Chicago's turnovers. On defense, Kyle Fuller had seven picks, which 1046 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 1: was not number one in the NFL. Eddie Jackson was 1047 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: second with six, and he also had two forced fumbles 1048 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, and they leaned on that defense and 1049 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,280 Speaker 1: the turnover so hard. Chuck Bagano has never in his scheme, 1050 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: never had a player in the with the Colts have 1051 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 1: more than five picks, and most seasons it was one, 1052 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: two or three. It was just a lot less of that, 1053 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of magic happened with Chicago, So there's 1054 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: more pressure on neg two make the off, putting them 1055 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,839 Speaker 1: in the category of the two thousand eighteen Jaguars who 1056 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 1: had the massive season with the big turnovers and huge 1057 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: plays in all that got cut in half and when 1058 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: the quarterback couldn't step up. I think one of the 1059 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: most predictable statistics for teams going back to the mean 1060 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,000 Speaker 1: is when someone in Cleveland did this last or two 1061 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 1: they jump out with a huge turnover plus margin scenario. 1062 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 1: You just don't expect. You can't really predict that to 1063 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,759 Speaker 1: happen year after year. It's gonna come back to the center. 1064 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: It shows how slim the margins are. Because it was 1065 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,839 Speaker 1: kind of that turnover that that did them in. Eddie 1066 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: Jackson picked off Aaron Rodgerson was trying to score a 1067 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 1: touchdown a meaningless touchdown because he likes to get in 1068 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: the end zone, hurts himself, and it really had an 1069 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 1: impact on the remainder of their season. It's just like 1070 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,760 Speaker 1: the margins aren't that big between a lot of these contenders. 1071 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: What about one little Evan Silva esque bonus. He has 1072 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: been tweeting about this. He's been hot on this trail. 1073 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 1: It's based on Patriots centric information where Sony Michelle Evan 1074 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: tweeted this yesterday, has not really been seeing much at 1075 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: Patriots ot as they don't really know what's going on 1076 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 1: with them, and Damian Harris is someone that they feel 1077 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 1: certain people close to the team and could be slotted 1078 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,920 Speaker 1: in for a bigger role chewing away at Sonny Michelle's roll. Well, 1079 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but they're but they have a 1080 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 1: history of of juke and left when people think they're 1081 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 1: gonna go right at running back and maybe they are 1082 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna continue to uh maybe his carries come down a 1083 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 1: little bit. M hmm. How will you recover from that? 1084 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's fine. They That would mean 1085 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: they just have other options. They've got like four running backs. 1086 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: Keep Sonny Michelle nice and fresh, so if you need 1087 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: him to carry the ball, you know, eighty times in 1088 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs like he did a year ago. He'll be 1089 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: ready to try. Why do these other teams need to 1090 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 1: get rid of their second choice at running back? When 1091 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots consistently hous four or five and used them 1092 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 1: all on the field at the same time, there won't 1093 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,359 Speaker 1: be any games to play in January the sure, Greg, 1094 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: they just got the sixteen. If that happens, I'm fine 1095 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 1: living in the past. Beautiful, Um Claybourne, you came here, 1096 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 1: you said it all and you've done it again. Just uh, 1097 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: just glad to get on the roster. You know, your 1098 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: war for this episode was three point four. There we go. 1099 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Yeah, I don't know 1100 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: what I mean either, like for a season, for a 1101 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games, a few, Yeah, it's just 1102 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: for this one game. I don't know what's a good 1103 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 1: war number. I don't know. I hope it's whatever to 1104 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 1: three point four. Otherwise you've insulted our guests. Whatever a 1105 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,280 Speaker 1: good number is, well, I mean, if if this is football, 1106 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: then that's huge. Those are quarterback numbers. It's football.
