8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: This is um. I feel like this is the last

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: full month of NFL summer. Um because once it gets

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: like mid July, then training camps are are kind of

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: starting up again. Um, So like everybody else always feel

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: weird because everybody else is like just getting ready for summer.

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: In fourth of July hits and most people are like, yeah,

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: that's some vacation for us. It's like, yeah, summer's kind

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: of over now. Yeah. Sum are usually ends for me

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: like mid July. That's definitely when we get locked in here.

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna enjoy the last couple of weeks of freedom,

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: right exactly. It also signed you know this is me,

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: my my weather complaints, living in law angels, Like, you know,

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: our NFL summer happens when it's June gloom, so like

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: we don't get a lot of sun, but then we

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: could sun what three hundred days a year, so I

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: can't complain too much about him. Planted to talk about

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do Todd Gurley Watch because that

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: continues to be one of the more compelling fantasy stories

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: of the off season. We'll talk some game shows because

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: the Jeopardy guy finally lost, so we'll talk a little

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: bit about that, and uh, plenty of other stuff to

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: talk about. But before we do any of that, as

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: we always do, go behind the glass and talk to

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire Murph, what's up.

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: I'm just glad this episode is fully about Daniel Jones

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: being the number one deal after his massive run on

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: the Giants. O T A S. Yeah, yeah, I saw

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: that on Twitter and like, uh, I mean okay, so

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: as as our you know, Giants fan representative here, like,

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you feel like is this because

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know this about the I didn't know that

39
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be you know, some super mobile

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: quarterback like I I just thought they're like, okay, he's

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: the Eli clone, like stand in the pocket and you know,

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: make the throw like it was a clean pocket. It'll

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: be great. And then it's like everyone reminds you was

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: like hell, he were in like a four six forty

45
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, a duke. He had to

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: run around because the offensive line was just absolutely terrible.

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: So if this is the case, I mean, Giants haven't

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: had a mobile quarterback and I couldn't tell you how long,

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: and to have a guy that could extend to play

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: would be uh something else, especially with the old line

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: being better much improved from last year. So I mean,

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: it's music to my years. You're you're not You're you're

53
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: not overseeing. Eli just turned into a turtle. Every time

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: there's pressure in the pockets. It's it's so bad, you know,

55
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: and then the bad thing is too you know. I

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: know that's just offseason. It's like markets just saying it's

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: June's early June, like it's it's still really nothing going on.

58
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: But if he's out playing, I just wish Eli Mann's

59
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: last name was not man named because if he actually

60
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: truthfully is out playing him, it's like we just throw

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: him in there, like what's the worst that could happen?

62
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Are you gonna win the Super Bowl this year anyway,

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: probably not, so like, let's see what the kid has,

64
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: but I don't think we're gonna have to see that.

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think of the last kind of

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: mobile Giants quarterback and the only name coming up for

67
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: me is like Jeff Hostetler, right, and that's before my time.

68
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: That's that's a long time. What's funny is they've they've

69
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks have been more mobile than than Eli, but

70
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: they don't ever play. They just iron man, so they

71
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: haven't even taken them out, so they they're like, Okay,

72
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: well we need a guy who's mobile as a backup

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: who never ever seen so uh So, anyway that I

74
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: thought that was funny watching you know, the the Daniel

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Jones excitement happened on Twitter a day or two ago. Well,

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with that, but um yeah, it's

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Eli unless something, you know, major,

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: happens in the next month or so. I can't imagine

79
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is gonna be starting. So anyway, I planted

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: to talk about the meantime, let's do some news news

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: from Baltimore. Steve Baschatti the owner of the Baltimore Ravens,

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: says Lamar Jackson will run less in nineteen, basically saying

83
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: that that's not what this offense is about. Uh. I

84
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: know that he has been working on his accuracy and

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: trying to connect better with his receivers. There's a new

86
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: offense all this sort of thing there. But I mean, Graham,

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: we showed up for the running ability. Like if he's

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: not running as much, um, I mean, unless he takes

89
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: huge steps forward in his passing ability suddenly, that that

90
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: takes a lot away from his game. Yeah, they can

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: say that all the one he's gonna run quite a bit.

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: I I do think there's a chance that he won't

93
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: run like seventeen average seventeen rushing attempts per start last

94
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: season d seven rushing attempts total. That was the most

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback has ever had in a single season, which

96
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: is kind of remarkably even the only he only started

97
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: seven games. Um, I think he's gonna shatter some rushing

98
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: attempts totals this year, but I don't expect seventeen carries again,

99
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: that is a bit much, and that's kind of putting

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: him a little bit too much. In Harm's way. But um, yeah,

101
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: they can't. They cannot take that off the field. They can't.

102
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they just won because it it is something

103
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: else the defense has to pay attention to. So you know,

104
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: you can't completely take that away from him. Um, but

105
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm curious to see how this works out.

106
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar, I know we all loved him last year.

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: We were excited about his his possibilities. I feel like

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: we haven't talked quite as much about him, especially now

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: that you know Kyler Murray has kind of become the

110
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: new hotness there. I mean I would imagine what he's

111
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: He's kind of a QB two at this point. I

112
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: think because Kyler has become this kind of uh lightning

113
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: rod of I guess fun hype this season, Um, Lamar

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: has kind of following by the wayside. Lamar Jackson is.

115
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: He's like an old news and I mean he's like

116
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: the floor for However, I think of what people are

117
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: expecting this year. I'm still taking Lamar Jackson quite often

118
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: late in drafts just because of that rushing upside is

119
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: just so so so sexy. Um. I will say every

120
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: year we hear maybe this year will be a little

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: bit different with Canada, Like every year in the off season,

122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: we would hear like, oh, Cam Newton's gonna rush lesson.

123
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: He never never did, just because that's that's what the

124
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: that's what these guys do. Is like, maybe they're not

125
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the most accurate quarterbacks, but they provide so much value

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: on the ground that's underrated. They just can't get away

127
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: from that. Well. And I also think that when you

128
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: can run the football the way those guys can it,

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: it's sort of balances out the accurate so issue because

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: suddenly as a as a defender, you do have to

131
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the quarterback a little bit, so

132
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: you maybe aren't as close to the receiver as you

133
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: would normally be. So I think that sort of opens

134
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: up maybe some more windows. So, uh, you know, we'll

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: see what happens with Lamar. You know, again, this is

136
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: also coming from the owner. Um, this is not coming

137
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: from the head coach of the offensive coordinator. So I'm

138
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: sure of Salt. I'm sure Steve Baschatti would love to

139
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: protect his investment in Lamar Jackson and not get him hurt.

140
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, if it comes down to,

141
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: you know, needing some yards and some production, uh you know,

142
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh will kind of let the lay let let

143
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: the reins loose a little bit. Uh. Freddy Kitchens says

144
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham missed a lot by not being an O

145
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: t A s um. I only put this in here,

146
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: you know not because it's like, you know, I'm not

147
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: big on the you know so and so didn't show

148
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: up to vol terry minicamps or whatever. I mean it

149
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: is voluntary, um, but you got this. You got Jarvis Landry,

150
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: who has banged up a little bit. Uh. Now you've

151
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: got Duke Johnson, you know, not demand in your trade,

152
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: but just kind of saying, hey, you know, I'd like

153
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else. And Baker Mayfield now taking shots

154
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: in him. Uh it's only June, I know, but this

155
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: would be a lot of disarray around the Browns offense

156
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: right now. I used to have a baseball coach who

157
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: who we had um voluntary workouts, right but we all

158
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: called them molluntary world because if you didn't show up,

159
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean you were you were, I mean you were

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: going to get called out for it. And it seems

161
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: like obviously the NFL has kind of been that way too.

162
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm the same way with you. It's like,

163
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: if these guys are taking care of their bodies and

164
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: doing their own training regiments like leve you on Bell

165
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: did too, It's like, really, who cares? I mean, these

166
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: guys are in top physical condition pretty much all year round.

167
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Um yeah, but the difference is obviously, Oh, it was

168
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: on a new team and he has a new offense

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: to learn. But still I don't really care. I mean, well,

170
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: and I think somebody I don't remember who it was.

171
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: On Twitter, Swearing made the point that, you know, part

172
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: of the reason that Odell was available for the Browns

173
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: to go out and get it was because he was

174
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: sort of the guy that didn't show up to O

175
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: T A s and you know, made his other team upset.

176
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: He's always done that, he's always been So why all

177
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden he was going to change now? I'm

178
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: not really sure. And you know, look, maybe this isn't

179
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: a big deal. You know, we're trying to create headlines,

180
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: We're trying to create stuff to talk about. So I

181
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: don't know if Freddie Kitchens is really that upset about

182
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: it or just kind of you know, saying things or whatever,

183
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: just kind of speaking his mind a little bit. But

184
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine once we get to training camp and

185
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: once we get to the preseason, I think you can

186
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: won't be fine. Yeah, you won't hear about this. We're

187
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. Yeah. Josh Dockson says he is ready

188
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: for a quote big year in nineteen. Simple question, Are

189
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: we buying it? I was waiting for a big year

190
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand seven? Uh no, no, I'm sorry. The

191
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Redskins a depth chart right now is just absolutely loaded

192
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: with receivers they're gonna have. They're gonna have some major

193
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: cutdowns here. Uh, which Dockson might be one of them. Yeah,

194
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's just the wide receivers. They're just never

195
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: really popped I think the way we really wanted them

196
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: to when Dockson was probably chief among those guys. Um,

197
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: you know. I also going into to the season, are

198
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: we are we leaning toward Dwayne Haskins as the starting quarterback?

199
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: There will there be a competition. I mean, who who

200
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: do you expect to see starting at quarterback? I think

201
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Case will start Week one, but I definitely think Dwayne's

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna really push him. Um regardless though, man Like it's

203
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: it's really hard to find anyone on this team for

204
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: fantasy that would be super super invested in UH at

205
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: pretty much any point in the draft. I mean, it's

206
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: really hard to hammer Darius Guys coming off of his

207
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: knee injuries and never playing a snap at the NFL.

208
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid has never been a a bastion of health.

209
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: In his last year, he was, but he didn't produce

210
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt at the end of the year. Um,

211
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: and then they have all these receivers that we have

212
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: no idea what to do with. So I'm kind of

213
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: throwing my hands up at It's almost like, I know

214
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: we're talking never Dolphins and earlier this year, but it

215
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: might be never read Skin. I mean, just you're right,

216
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: They're just so hard to kind of figure out. Although

217
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, who is always great for a preseason quote

218
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: that you know makes you scratch your head, UH, says

219
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: he is aiming for two thousand yards this year. Does

220
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: he mean he is aiming for two thousand yards or

221
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins offense? And you know the quote is I

222
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: got my marks set at two thousand yards. I've always

223
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: had it set at that mark since I stepped into

224
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: the league. So that's where it's at most important. I

225
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: just want to contribute to the team and help this

226
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: team win a championship. I wish him luck. I do too.

227
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I will say that he exceeded my

228
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: expectations last year, went over a thousand yards, seven touchdowns.

229
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Admittedly they sort of came in chunks. Uh, and then

230
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: he kind of faded a little bit. But um, look

231
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: in the past, I'd say five years ago, like hey man,

232
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: this this, this might be something. Right now with him

233
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: at thirty four years old, Um, yeah, I'm not I'm

234
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: not really buying and that. Uh. Roger Goodell says he

235
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: wants to shorten the preseason. Uh. Look, I know a

236
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: lot of fans are in favor of it. I think

237
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: there is still value in maybe not four games, but

238
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: at least three games. Um. And I think for us,

239
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, in fantasy we use we started using the

240
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: preseason a while ago to sort of evaluate where teams are,

241
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: evaluate who's getting reps, and just sort of ability. I

242
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: would think that for what we do, uh, a shortened

243
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: preseason he kind of hurts a little bit. It will

244
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: depend on how much they eventually do cut it down,

245
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: because I I do agree, I think four is a

246
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: bit too much that fourth preseason game just ends up

247
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: being totally meaningless every single year. Um yeah, I mean

248
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: I I used the preseason differently just to follow snap

249
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: counts and and actually see who's physically on the field.

250
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: And I mean, we we get so much, we're inundated

251
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: with so much coach peak in the off season. It's

252
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: it's so nice and refreshing to actually be able to

253
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: see how these players are being used and where they're

254
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: actually add the depth start in the preseason. But as

255
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: long as we get like at least two solid games, um,

256
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: I think it'll be fine. But every team is different though.

257
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean the Rams are probably as long as Sean

258
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: mcveighs the coach, they're never gonna play, They're never going

259
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: to play their starters. And every team is a little

260
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: bit different. Um, And I think we're gonna start seeing

261
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: teams approach the preseason differently once they do cut it

262
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: back from Ford to most likely, I think, well, it'll

263
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: be three. I would think three, Like I can't imagine start.

264
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they kind of just the two because

265
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: I do think coaches still also want a couple of

266
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: those games to evaluate talents, make cuts that sort of

267
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: they're not only figuring out and make cuts, but they're

268
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who they're going to carry another

269
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: practice squad each year, who they're I mean, who they're

270
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: going to keep potentially bring back for another year. Um.

271
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely a big evaluation period for them. And

272
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: I think cutting it back from four to three makes

273
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: sense for them too, because I mean, they get one

274
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: extra I guess they. I would hope they would get

275
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: one extra wee could practice, I would think, right, so

276
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. Um. But yeah, I thought it was just interesting.

277
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: I know, like it doesn't have any immediate fantasy impact,

278
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: but there will be some ripple effect. I think if

279
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: if there are fewer games, fewer opportunities to see some

280
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: of these guys, especially when you're talking about guys a

281
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: little bit further down on the depth chart. Last bit

282
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: of news, Carson Palmer is going to the Cardinal's Ring

283
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: of Honor. So they just made me think of our

284
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: consistent question, would Carson Palmer be a fantasy Ring of

285
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: Honor quarterback? I would lean towards no. I think he

286
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: had a couple of really nice years, but not the

287
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: sustained period of excellence that would kind of get him

288
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: amongst the fantasy elite. That's that's just my my my

289
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: first take on it. Yeah, I mean he spent five

290
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: years um in Arizona and only played all sixteen games,

291
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: basically played a full slate of games three times three

292
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: of those five years. Is that I guess that's enough

293
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: to get into a Ring of under Yes. I was

294
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: talking about this with Rank yesterday. It's like, if Kyler

295
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: Murray wins eight games this year, is he just automatically

296
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Arizona they just don't have enough players, I guess to

297
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: put in the Ring of honor. I mean I guess.

298
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they're waiting for the day Larry

299
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: because Larry fi Generald. The moment he the moment he retires,

300
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna just walk right into there. Um. But yeah,

301
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: I guess not. And I did think about that. That's

302
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: it does seem like he wasn't really there long enough

303
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: to to be in there. But yeah, I don't know,

304
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: so they don't. They almost won the Super Bowl though,

305
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: I mean they were so which was sort of odd,

306
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: like I just couldn't imagine, like, man, this team was

307
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: really There are a couple of times in my life

308
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm like the Arizona Cardinals might be Super Bowl champions.

309
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: Were it not for a Santonio Holmes amazing toe tap

310
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: in the corner, they would have been super Bowl champions.

311
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: They could have they could have beaten Denver in two

312
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen. To Cam was just unstoppable. Yeah well yeah,

313
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean that was a phenomenal year for Cam Newton.

314
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: And so there you go. So Carson Palmer not in

315
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: the fantasy Ring of honor. There you go. That's pretty

316
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: much everything you need to know. All right, it's side

317
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: for side Girly watch, because I mean, look, this is

318
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: the this is the story that kind of keeps on unfolding.

319
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: And I said this before, and we all, I kind

320
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: of think, feel the same way. We're never gonna know

321
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: a hundred percent how this plays out until we get

322
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: to week one and we start to see and even

323
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: then it maybe a couple of weeks into the season

324
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: until we kind of figure out exactly how Sean McVey

325
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: is going to use him. But the latest report via

326
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, is that folks in l A Are sort

327
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: of expecting that Girle is not going to be the

328
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: bell cow going forward. He is not going to be

329
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: the guy that you just load up with touches that

330
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: he is going to going to be the He won't

331
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: be the center of the offense the way he has

332
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: been the last couple of years. And you know a

333
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: lot of it is, uh, the the injuries, the workload

334
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: he's had, just all the things sort of kind of

335
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: coming together. Um now. In response, Gurley says he's planning

336
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: to play a little bit closer to two hundred and

337
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: eighteen pounds. He wants to lose some weight to kind

338
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: of help himself stay healthier, stay a little more fresh

339
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: throughout the season. Right now, his a DP on Fantasy

340
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: Football Calculator twelve team drafts one dot oh nine, so

341
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: back half of the first round. I know, Graham, you

342
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: said you were kind of looking at him in the

343
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: second round. Do we think that number that one oh

344
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: nine goes up or down as we get closer to

345
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: it to the season. I haven't been interested in taking

346
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Gurly in the first round all off season. Um, it's

347
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: now getting the point to I don't know if he's

348
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: necessarily even worth a second rounder. I mean it's look,

349
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: we we were buying Todd Gurley a year over year

350
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: just because obviously he's awesome, but number the most importantly

351
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: is that role in the offense. If that is, if

352
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: he's going to be cut back from an eight snapshare

353
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: seeing sec of the team's carries being heavily involved in

354
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: the passing game, I I think it's time to to

355
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: maybe reevaluate Girly as an RB one. Um I was

356
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: on a show with with Matt Kelly goes By Fantasy

357
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Mention on on Twitter last week and he said he's

358
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: taking Girly after Nick Chubb, and um I I at

359
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: the time, like you know, ten days ago, I thought

360
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: that was a too hot, But thinking about it now

361
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: and he hearing some more of these reports that girl

362
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: is not showing up to t is obviously wasn't surprising,

363
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: but um hearing actual news reports that he's not gonna

364
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: be there bell Cow, which is what we've kind of

365
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: been assuming on the show for a couple of months.

366
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: I man, it's it's really hard to click that button.

367
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: It's really really hard to click that button. And I

368
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: I think once we get closer to the preseason UM

369
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: and Darrell Henderson maybe starts ripping off a few runs there,

370
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: there's ADPs are going to get even closer I think well,

371
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: and right now Henderson is at eight point oh five UM.

372
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: And you know, as much as people have debated where

373
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Girly should be drafted, I feel like there's just as

374
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: much debate about what to do with Henderson UM because

375
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: you know, I think the assumption is that he is

376
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: the guy right behind Todd Gurley on the depth chart.

377
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, there's still Malcolm Brown there, there's still

378
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: John Kelly there, there are other options there if Sean

379
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: McVeigh decides to go that direction. And so then the

380
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: question becomes, well, Okay, we don't add percent and know

381
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: what Girly situation is. We think we do. We we're

382
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: certainly speculating about it. We also don't know what the

383
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: depth chart is going to be. Is eighth round too

384
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: rich for Darrell Henderson right now? That I mean, I

385
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: respect Fantasy Football calculators ADP, but he's going in the

386
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: sixth seventh round. Now, I meant in a lot of

387
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: the drafts that I've been I think in a lot

388
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: of the a lot of the industry draft, a lot

389
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: of the expert dress, he probably is. And I'm curious

390
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: whether or not, you know, because I feel like in

391
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, we sort of set the tone

392
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: for how things go, and then in a month or two,

393
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: like I think, the rest of the world sort of

394
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: follows along. And so I'm just curious whether or not

395
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: we when we get to August, you know, will your

396
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: regular fantasy leagues be kicking Hi up in the sixth

397
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: Here's here's the question I think it comes down to,

398
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: is like, would you rather have Lamar Miller in the

399
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: sixth round or Darrell Henderson? I mean, in theory Miller

400
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: because he's the starter. But I guess is Lamar Miller.

401
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: Does Lamar Miller have the ability to win you your league? Henderson?

402
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear to Darrow Henderson. Does gurly

403
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: is clear if he is obviously not one? Um, I

404
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I really, I mean, I think I've

405
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: been pretty adamant about Girle. No. I think you've been.

406
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean you've been, you know, I just very consistent.

407
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: I just my thing with with Henderson this year's I

408
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: do think there's going to get to a point where

409
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: he might get priced out. But if if if he's

410
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: still going in that range where it's like Lamar Miller

411
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: verst Droll Henderson, like we know Lamar Miller is not

412
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna help like he'll be a consistent RB two flex play,

413
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: but Droll Henderson has the league winning upside um. You know,

414
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: the other part of this, though, that I don't think

415
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about quite as much, is what's this mean

416
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: overall for the Rams offense? I mean, because Gurley was

417
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: the catalyst so for so much of what they did.

418
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, even you know, with all the numbers that

419
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, Robert Woods and Brandon Cooks and those guys

420
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: put up, so much of it still funneled through. And

421
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: we saw it in the Super Bowl. We saw it

422
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: even in the NFC Championship Game. To a point that

423
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: offense just wasn't quite the same when Gurley wasn't getting

424
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: the looks and getting the touches. Sure, Darrell Henderson may

425
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: be great, at least at the start, we don't expect

426
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: him to be what Todd early was. I have to

427
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: think this has some sort of impact on on Jared

428
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: Goff and on those wide receivers if defenses aren't necessarily

429
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: shifting so much of their focus to Todd Gurley. Actually,

430
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: I think the bigger injury question mark for the Rams

431
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: this off season as long as in terms of their

432
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: just their efficiency is Cooper Cup. I think getting Cooper

433
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: Cup is getting back cut for for golf and for

434
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: Cooks off the top. Being able to take the top

435
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: off defense is just huge for them. I mean, Todd

436
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Gurley is awesome, man, and he's he has been the

437
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: most consistent fantasy back for for UH for two three

438
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: straight years now. But having a bone on bone knie

439
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: it basically twenty five years old, and all the other

440
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: incillary factors, it's I mean, we saw what C. J.

441
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: Anderson did in that offense just on the ground and

442
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: a few starts. I don't necessarily think they're gonna miss

443
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: too too much on the ground. Maybe he's a receiver.

444
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley has become an excellent receiver. Maybe they'll miss him.

445
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: Um in their screen game early on, but Darrell Henderson

446
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: flashed there too. Man. Yeah, I I really I hope

447
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: Girley can come back and give us one more year

448
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: of fantasy excellence. But it's it's just it's very, very

449
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: very hard to hanger hat on that right now. Yeah. Um.

450
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: I also think you know, and we we've kind of

451
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: touched on this before, and this is maybe less from

452
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, but more of just a actual NFL

453
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: team building perspective. I think what we've seen with Girley

454
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: is what we're going to see with a lot of

455
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: running backs. And this is you know, I guess this

456
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: is sort of the basis of the running backs don't

457
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: matter argument, is the fact that you have this guy

458
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: who is extremely supremely talented and the Rams have have

459
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: gotten their money's worth basically out of him, and they

460
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: have they have used and now mind you, they had

461
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: to pay him a big contract to kind of keep

462
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: him around. Um, but I think you know, if you are,

463
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: for instance, say Kwon Barkley, I think you gotta kind

464
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: of look at Todd gurley situation and be like, man,

465
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: could this be my future where the Giants are going

466
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: to just use me up as much as possible? And

467
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: and say Kwan said, I think last week, you know,

468
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: last week he's preparing for obviously he's preparing for just

469
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: a massive workload, but I mean he he's going to

470
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: properly push under touches this year. Park, Yeah, I would

471
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: think so, Um, gurlies contract man like he is just

472
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: stacking paper right now. Of course, Rams cannot get out

473
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: from under his contract for another two seasons, um if if,

474
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: if he cannot provide um obviously, I think the belt

475
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: the belt cout role is is kind of out for

476
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: right now, barring a miracle. I mean, he can't provide

477
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: any you know, fifty snap share of the last next

478
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: couple of years. That's gonna look like a very very

479
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: bad contract for a team that's definitely paid some some

480
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: high price contracts in the past couple of years. It's

481
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: gonna look worse if they don't win a super Bowl

482
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: in that time for him. You know, if had they

483
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: won the super Bowl last year, I think people will

484
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: look and say, yeah, Okay, you're gonna be hamstrung for

485
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: a couple of years with this contract, but you know what,

486
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: you got a title, and so maybe that makes it

487
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: worth it. But if you know, they went all in,

488
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of these big contracts, and

489
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: if they don't ever get a titled a show for it,

490
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: then I think people will will criticize them for that.

491
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: At the time, I did not like the deal just

492
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: because it was a humongous deal for running back, and

493
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: now looks even worse because currently he's fortunately I mean,

494
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean the decline comes swiftly. Um, but I always does.

495
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: It always does with running backs, always does. It's like

496
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: running backs and quarterbacks tend they just fall off. They do.

497
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: It's it's like receivers have this like kind of nice

498
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: curve where they come back down. You're like, okay, that

499
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: he's clearly lost his step. He can still catch balls.

500
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: With running backs, it's like they just hit a wall.

501
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: That's it. They hit a wall and that's it. Well,

502
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: even with with wide receivers. I think there are ways

503
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: to sort of reinvent yourself. I mean, Larry Fitzgerald, I

504
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: think it is a great, a great example of that.

505
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: He has reinvented himself. You know, after years after we thought,

506
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: you know what he's done, it's it's time, and he

507
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: has still been able to hold on and be productive. Um,

508
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: it's just so much harder at that running back spot.

509
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: There's no way to reinvent yourself from slamming into three hundred.

510
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: That is kind of that's kind of hard, right, It's

511
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: kind of a dead end career opportunity at some point.

512
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, we will, we will, certainly I think

513
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: continue this Todd Gurley, watch as as things go along.

514
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: As we get closer to training camp. Now, mind you, again,

515
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: we may not see him in training camp, and we

516
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: likely won't see him at all in the preseason, so

517
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: it will just be people continuing to speculate, and I'm

518
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: just gonna be curious to keep an eye on where

519
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: he gets draftics. I just imagine the swing will be

520
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: very wild. Uh, the the the highs and lows of

521
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: where people are taking him will be very very wild.

522
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: He still goes in the first round and a few

523
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: drafts fall into the second round. Um, I yeah, it's

524
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: just it comes down to your your risk tolerance. Yeah,

525
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: your your your your level of confidence. Uh with drafting,

526
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. So there it is. Um. So we don't

527
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: have Game of Throne stuff to talk about anymore because

528
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: that has has gone by by and we have yet

529
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: to settle on a show that I think we all

530
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: want to watch and talk about on a weekly basis. Um.

531
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: You know. But the one thing that that was on

532
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: TV that everybody's sort of eight attention to James Holshower,

533
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: who had his incredible winning streak on Jeopardy It's done. Um.

534
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, it started leaking early the day

535
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: that the show aired. Up the episode was taped months ago,

536
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: because Jeopardy has taped well in advance, and then they

537
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: roll out the episodes, uh, you know, bit by bit.

538
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: So obviously Holdshower himself knew that it was over, the

539
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: rest of the world started to find out because it

540
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: was leaked, partially because apparently a station in Alabama, I

541
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: think it is. Yeah, there was like four markets in

542
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: the entire country, and like Rovel happened to like no

543
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: and he leaked in. It was like, well, it's leaked

544
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: in four markets, and people like yeah, but there's like yeah,

545
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: so like somewhere in Alabama shows it a like nine

546
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning or something like that. Yeah, that's bizarre,

547
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: by the way, isn't it the craziest thing that Jeopardy

548
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: is on a different time and like every single stage,

549
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: every single city with its insane I never knew that.

550
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: I didn't really until this. I mean I just thought

551
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: it was like a seven o'clock you know, seven PM.

552
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: Some places we're like, okay, they do Jeff Pty first,

553
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: then we will have Fortune. Some places do will a

554
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: Fortune first, then Jeopardy, But then other players like no,

555
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: it's a morning show for us, And I'm just like, yeah,

556
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: I can't imagine watching Jeopardy in the morning at my brains.

557
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, it's a it's a smart

558
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: person show. Like my brain is not really awake enough

559
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: to do Jeopardy in the morning. So, um, but anyway,

560
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the streak is over. It's sort of got leaked. Uh.

561
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: The final tally on whold Towers time on the show

562
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: a thirty two game winning streaks, second all time to

563
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: Kim Jennings, who was seventy four, So he didn't even

564
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: get you know, I mean this is this is sort

565
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: of like in baseball when somebody has like a twenty

566
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: game hit streak and everybody's like, yeah, whatever, they're gonna

567
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: catch to get come on whatever. Anyway, Um one two million,

568
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: four hundred sixty four thousand, two hundred sixteen dollars second

569
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: all time to Kim Jennings. I think he was about

570
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: right around fifty thousand dollars short. It was like thirty

571
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: grand yeah, because he was that okay close. Yeah, so

572
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: that was a lot closer. Uh set the single game

573
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: record with a hundred and thirty one thousand, one hundred

574
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: and twenty seven dollars, and he had as the top

575
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: sixteen single day scores and twenty three of the top

576
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I mean, just he he's got of the

577
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: Steph Curry of Jeopardy, right, you like change the game absolutely.

578
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: So it just made me think though, I mean, if

579
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: you guys were going on a game show, which is

580
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: there one out there that you look at, you like, yeah,

581
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: I would dominate. I would totally you know. I mean

582
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: like I feel like all sports Jeopardy, we would all

583
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: be like, hey, yeah, I could do pretty well. But like,

584
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, there's two I'm not sure

585
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: if I would. I am my dumb brain. I think

586
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: I would dominate because I think if I like set

587
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: my mind to it and train for it. But I

588
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: I happen to love American Ninja Warrior Ninja Warrior, but

589
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: obviously the American one got really popular in this country

590
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: now too, and it's like I love the fact that

591
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: like it's just you have it's just you and the course,

592
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's Syro fall and you could sometimes

593
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: like the fear of falling. I just love I watched

594
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: the Consoling So I'm like, if I set outside like

595
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: half a year just to train for that, I feel

596
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: like I would be okay, Uh, the other one is

597
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: an older one. But I feel like the ajournal and

598
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: rush would make you want to do it and just

599
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: see other people's reactions is a fear factory fear factor

600
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: I think I could do. I mean because like that's

601
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: the one I was thinking about. And if Joe Rogan

602
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: runs in the running in it and then just see

603
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: like other people like scream we have to eat spiders,

604
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: and like I feel like the eating thing, like I

605
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,239
Speaker 1: could just I could. I could psych my mind up

606
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: to do the eating stuff. It's like whatever, man, there's

607
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: money involved, like let's do. Let's go. I'm pretty sure

608
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I could do that. Um, you know, you know we

609
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: have an end at Ninja Warrior with our pal bar

610
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Basja Biamila being one of the hosts. There. Um the

611
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: thing about that show that makes me feel better because

612
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: like when you see the people who actually run through

613
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: the courts, like, man, that's tough. It's when they have

614
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: like the people who like fall off in the first

615
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: like the first obstacle, You're like, Okay, that makes me

616
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: feel better about my That show is the best to

617
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: give me like a twelve minute documentary, like a mini

618
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: documentary on the person their life like and then like

619
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: four and a half seconds and they slip and fall

620
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: right and then it's like riding the water and it's

621
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: over with and they goes like, all right, next contestant.

622
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: It's so funny. I always because I used to try

623
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: to guess. I'm like, oh, they did a whole package

624
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: on this person, like he must go really far, and

625
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: then now he's like in the water. Immediately, I'm like, okay,

626
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: so much for that. Um, I know for me, and

627
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: this goes back to being a kid, like I'm old

628
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: enough to remember. Me and my best friend thought we

629
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: would just rule the world on Double There. Um, you know,

630
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: because all the all the trivia questions were pretty basic,

631
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: and you know, after you watch it so many times

632
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: you see the obstacles, you're like, okay, you kind of

633
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: create a strategy in your head. Now. Obviously it's a

634
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: little bit different when you're actually on this show and

635
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: you actually have to do it. But we thought for sure,

636
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: at you know, at twelve years old, um, that we

637
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: were gonna take home I don't even know how much money.

638
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: It was was probably like five dollars because they were

639
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: little kids. But we thought for sure we were going

640
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: to just destroy that show. We cheat and lie and

641
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: just say like sports Jeopardy for US Sports Jeopardy. My

642
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: roommate old roommate actually almost wanted. He gave me some

643
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: inside info on it, and like how the clicker is

644
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: so delayed you don't understand that. The one other guy

645
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: that beat and was clicking clicking, but he was close,

646
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm in my room, my my

647
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: old room, and he knows everything about the weirdest sports

648
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: and Sports Jeopardy most of the time, like three or

649
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: fourth at the time would have a weird final Jeopardy question.

650
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: So he's like, well, even if I'm this close, this

651
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: guy's not gonna know, you know, uh indoor soccer like weird,

652
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: like he knows everything and ended up being like a

653
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: very generic question. He beat him with the click, like

654
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: he beat him with the betting him because he knew

655
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. So like I would like that, but I don't,

656
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: like I want my skills to speak to themselves, which

657
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: is why I like the fear of factor American in

658
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: je Warrior. I don't want like a deal or no

659
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: deal when they just pick it for you, or like

660
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: the clicker of malfunctioning, like I don't want to lose

661
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: because of that, so I'd be afraid of those other shows. Yeah,

662
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 1: I know, the quicker thing on Jeopardy is I think

663
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: one of the underrated parts of the show. I mean,

664
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, so obviously the whole tower was smart. He

665
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: knew well, he had a lot of knowledge, but he

666
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: also was quick on the buzzer too, And that's what hell.

667
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you can know all the things in the world,

668
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: but if you can't buzz in in time, it doesn't

669
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: really matter. You were you rooting for him? Um? I

670
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: was just I don't think I rooted for or against him.

671
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: I was just more watching it as a curiosity, you know,

672
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: just kind of like just sort of sitting in amaze

673
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: that at the depth of knowledge that he had, I mean,

674
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: the breadth of categories and everything. Um. And it's just

675
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he changed the way the game was

676
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: played by starting with the big money the big money

677
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: questions first, and then literally doubling going. His daily doubles

678
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: were true daily doubles, you know. So that to me

679
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: was just sort of uh, you know, I didn't care

680
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: whether he wanted lost. I was just more watching it

681
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: for curiosity, right, I think that more captivating story is

682
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: that he came from a gambling and fantasy background. Um

683
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: literally said like some of a lot of the inspiration

684
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: um from his streak came from just playing fantasy sports,

685
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: which is kind of amazing, right, Um. Yeah, And the

686
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: way he played so aggressively, I think I just don't

687
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: think many in Jeopardy had had thought to do it, um.

688
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's funny too. I saw some people

689
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: like get angry that he came in and had this

690
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: like kind of contrarian approach to playing Jeopardy. It's like,

691
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: if you're getting about jeopardy, you've got way, you gotta

692
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: get alive at this point. I do think, though, people

693
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: are going to start playing like that now you know,

694
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: now that you've seen it and we've seen how successful

695
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: it can be. Now, obviously you have to be as

696
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: smart as he is, Um, but I think you're gonna

697
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: see more people start with the big money questions and

698
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: try to work from there. Um. Because what was interesting

699
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: about it to me though, is that also the few

700
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: times when he maybe get an answer wrong. I think

701
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: I saw once where he doubled up on a daily double,

702
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: got it wrong, lost everything, and you just gotta shook

703
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: it off because it's like whatever I'm gonna you know,

704
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it right back.

705
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: That's why I love about it. He literally is a

706
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: game changer. He is like Lawrence Tailor and now you're like, okay,

707
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: now I need to draft the left tackle to protect

708
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: my blind So like he literally changed the whole game

709
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: of Jeopardy, which is why people who are rooting against

710
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: him I didn't get because I'm like, well, Jeopardy's on

711
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: every day of the week and saying kind of boring,

712
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: like you know, three mediocre guys and like they you know,

713
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: they one of them wins, and it's like not an

714
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: impressive amount wife goes on. But this guy was. He

715
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: like sparked interest for you know, a period of time.

716
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: I was like actually at the gym next to a

717
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: guy when the minute he lost and I caught the

718
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: last final Jeopardy question and he started like Tiger Woods,

719
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: like fist pumping and cheering at loss and people trying

720
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: to looking at and he goes like yeah man, and

721
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: he was like clashing. I was like, you're this happy

722
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: this guy lost? The one interesting Jeopardy guy since like

723
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Ken Jennings gonna root against because we're gonna we're gonna

724
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: go back to not watching Jeopardy. I heard that their

725
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: ratings had like they had like eleven year ratings high

726
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 1: or something because these I think the day that he lost,

727
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean obviously a lot of people knew it in advance,

728
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: but the day that he lost, I think it tied

729
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals game that night for ratings. And look,

730
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: I look, I get wow. Look you know, I'm a

731
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Warriors fan, so I watched that the the NBA game,

732
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: But look, I get it. Man, the the NBA Finals

733
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: are on every year. Like, how often are you're gonna

734
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: see a guy take a run like this on Jeopardy?

735
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: So I mean that made sense to me. Um the

736
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: other question, and I know he's you know, I know

737
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: he's talked about maybe wanting to work in pro sports,

738
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: work in front offices. I have a baseball team is

739
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna hire him? The Washington Washington Post did a survey

740
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: where they asked a lot of front offices in Major

741
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: League Baseball, you know, would would he be welcomed there?

742
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: And it was like an unequivocal yes, absolutely. Um. You know,

743
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: I think somebody said that I think. Billy Bean said,

744
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: maybe the the gambling background might scare people, but generally

745
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: like not enough, not enough to not Oh yeah, they'll

746
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: give him a shot. There'll be a moneyball too with

747
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: this guy or something. Yeah, I gotta be, you gotta be.

748
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: So that leads me to our social poll question for

749
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: the week. But first off, what was our social pol question?

750
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,040

00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: clear winner. What do you guys have any guesses of

755
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,000

762
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: the one side character and the one but like one

763
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: ultra like minor character that people just rallied around and

764
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: love that guy baking with hot pie. That would be

765
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: pretty pretty good. So the social poll this week because

766
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: of James Holdshower in honor of him. He had said

767
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago I think on TMZ that he

768
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: was like Deshaun Watson because he's a guy who could

769
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: do it all. So it made me think which current

770
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback could be sort of James holshowerd go on

771
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and put together a run. So I went through

772
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: and I pulled out based on some wonder Lick scores.

773
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: And I know that you know the Wonderlock. I don't

774
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: know that it has an impact on actual football, but

775
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: it is a test about just like esoteric things, which

776
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: basically is like Jeopardy, Right, So I went in and

777
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: got four guys. Uh, blame Gabbert who scored a forty

778
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: two on the Wonderlant, Carson Wentz who had a forty,

779
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: Alex Smith who also had a forty, and Ryan Fitzpatrick,

780
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: who we all know went to Harvard, who had a

781
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: forty eight. So those are my four guys. Obviously, if

782
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: there's anybody out there, you guys want to write in

783
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: as another but I think those four guys blame Gabbert,

784
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: Carson wins Alex Smith Ryan Fitzpatrick of the currents NFL quarterbacks,

785
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: which one could be the ultimate Jeopardy champ? You know, Sneakily,

786
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: I put my money on Alex Smith. Yeah, I did

787
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: not realize that this is blowing my mind. That I

788
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: scored a forty on the winters. I just blown my mind.

789
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: I did the same. I looked at the list. I

790
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: was like, wow, blame Gab. I can't get over it.

791
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: I'm literally stuck on it. I'm like having it rang.

792
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: Um my. I guess I originally thought of Fitzpatrick to

793
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: for this. He was the first name that came to behind. Yeah,

794
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: of course, I was saying I would go to Fitzpatrick

795
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: and then next, and then thinking like, okay, who's the

796
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: quarterback who went to a really good school. I'm like,

797
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: oh Stanford, Oh Andrew Luck and Luck yeah the guy

798
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: put out there. Yeah, um yeah, I just I think

799
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, he just he just seems like a sneaky

800
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: underrated play there. I mean sort of like his his

801
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: football career, right when you like, yeah, anything and he

802
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: ends up being better than than you anticipate. So that's

803
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: that's sort of my guess there. But imagine we'll get

804
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: some good ride in votes too. I'll give a quick ride.

805
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: And just because I'm a Notre Dame fan. Uh and

806
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: he was just draft in the first round. Jerry Tillery

807
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: could speak like a bunch of languages and like some

808
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: really difficult classes at run name and traveled like the

809
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: world and stuff. He's a really smart dude, I would think,

810
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: especially if you open it, if you open beyond quarterbacks too,

811
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: I think you get get Hillary, You've got John Urschell,

812
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: you get the the ldt um who's actually an actual doctor.

813
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I think you're opening up beyond beyond quarterbacks.

814
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: You get a whole lot of options too. So um yeah,

815
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: you guys out there, hit us up vote in the poll.

816

00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,919

818
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: be fun. So uh that's it. I think we're done.

819
