23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: We are less than a week away from the National

24
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: Football League's little thing they call a draft, so it's

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: right around the corner here, and I think my plan

26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: is I'm going to talk to Field Yates this weekend

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: and he'll be on the pod next week. He's gonna

28
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: be on ABC's coverage. I've known him for a long time.

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: I think I'll do a mock draft maybe Wednesday. I'll

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: do a mock draft Wednesday, and then we'll have a

31
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: bunch of content on Thursday afternoon, Thursday night and for

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Friday draft wise. Other than that, buckle up pedal the

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Metal today, I want to the Belichick story. Man. It's

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: just it's getting pretty ugly between him and Craft, and

35
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like what John Gruden was for like

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: five or six years. That's gonna be all this season

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick. And I think there are three teams

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: in the NFC East that he is going to get

39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: linked to constantly. If things get weird. The messaging with

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: the top of the draft is pretty interesting. I wanted

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: to dive into that. Obviously, the Bears and the Commanders

42
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: aren't exactly hiding from taking a quarterback, but the Patriots

43
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: said something today, and I wonder if the owner, with

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: all the negativity and the pressure he's getting from his

45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: local fan base which is pissed off at him right now,

46
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: forces them to take quarterback. We'll dive into why. And

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: then the Giants. Joe Shane gave a press conference to day.

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I watched. He's an impressive guy, but he had a

49
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: lot of pushback on the buyer remorse and if they

50
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: regret the DJ contract and I'm sorry, it's just I'll

51
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: tell the truth for him. That's what we'll do. And then,

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: of course, Fugazi Friday. Fugazi Friday, So anyone that sees

53
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: any fugazi you can always fire into my DMS. Just

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: make sure you write fugazi Friday. It's easy for me

55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: to search in my Instagram if you write that, So

56
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: anytime you see it, write that down, I will find it.

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: I've been putting it into a folder in my once

58
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: I screenshot it in my pictures. I've developed a nice

59
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: little system. I'm impressed with myself. Not gonna lie and

00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: Promo co John, save twenty dollars. I do think the

93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: Belichick conversation is pretty fascinating. I was listening to Michael

94
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: Lombardi's podcast. He's been on this show before. It is fantastic.

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: He was going off because of the situation in Atlanta

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: and how they, you know, are run by Rich McKay,

97
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: who is the executor of Arthur Blank's a state. I

98
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: definitely didn't know that until like the last week. That's

99
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Like I've known a few rich people in

100
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: my day. Usually the people that run their estate are

101
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: either a child or like a lawyer that they've had

102
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: for decades. I know Richard McKay's works for the Atlanta

103
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Falcons now for almost I think twenty one years. But

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: that's a pretty powerful thing to hold if you have

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: any assets, let alone have the wealth that Arthur Blank possesses.

106
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: He makes the president of his football team the executor,

107
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: Like that shows you the connection with rich So like

108
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: whether the Falcons should have hired him or not. If

109
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: rich McKay does not like Bill Belichick and Bill Belichick

110
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: does not like Rich McKay, Bill Belichick was never getting

111
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: that job. The guy's the executor on his fucking a state.

112
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: He controls all of his money. Like if that guy

113
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: was gonna have a ton of influence, which of course

114
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: he does, Bill's never coming there. And I think it's

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: kind of played out that way obviously, but which I think, Listen,

116
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick not being a head coach in this league

117
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: right now is crazy. I'm sorry, I stand by that.

118
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't apologize for that. I don't even think that's

119
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: a crazy take. He should be a head coach if

120
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: he wants to be a head coach. But one conversation

121
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: that is going to happen non stop. I mean non

122
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: stop is gonna be what team is he coaching in

123
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. It's gonna be NonStop. And we already

124
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: know teams that sniffed around with them that kept their coaches,

125
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Cowboys. Let's be real. The day

126
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: or two days after the Cowboys got curb stomped in

127
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: that playoff game. It's one thing to lose in the playoffs.

128
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: It's hard, right, you can lose a playoff game, be like, God,

129
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: we played pretty well. Happened to the Packers. Happened to

130
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: the Lions, right, it happened to the Bills, played pretty

131
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: well against the Chiefs, like it happens, right. It's another

132
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: thing to get mollywopped and embarrassed, and it's worst when

133
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: it's at home, and that's what happened to the Cowboys.

134
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: So I remember being in a sauna, which at my gym,

135
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: which I love. I try to sit in the sauna

136
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: like three days a week. Twenty twenty five minutes feel incredible,

137
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: especially when you're a bald guy, you get right in

138
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: the shower, shave your head, get an incredible shave. But

139
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: there were two guys in there. I don't know them.

140
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: And sometimes if I'm gonna lay down, I take my

141
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: headphones in there and I'm listening to a podcast or

142
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: book on tape or whatever and just kind of lay

143
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: there for twenty five minutes. But I just went in

144
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: there and they were talking football, and they were like,

145
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: when is Belichick. I'll never forget this, When is Belichick

146
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna be the head coach of the Cowboys. They don't

147
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: know what I do for a living. I'm like shit

148
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: by the end of the week. I mean, it felt

149
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: like a lock. And then they didn't do it, and

150
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be talk with the Eagles and listen. By four,

151
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: the most prominent teams with the most tangible pressure on

152
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: them to me are the Eagles and the Cowboys. The

153
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: difference I'd say with the Eagles is I would say

154
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: between Fangio and Kellen Moore. They're paying their two coordinators.

155
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: I'd say over under eight and a half million dollars.

156
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: Fangio is probably making five, Kellen's making three or four.

157
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: It's great that's just the going. That's what these guys make.

158
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: So the Eagles want this to work. They want Nick

159
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Sirianni to work. And to me, if they get back

160
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and don't go out like chumps and

161
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: win a game like I don't think they would fire them.

162
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: And the Eagles have proven to be you know, they

163
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: got rid of Doug, but they had missed the playoffs.

164
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: It was pretty ugly to me. If they're successful again,

165
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: the young players start a sending, I think they will

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: have no problem running it back. Kind of with this

167
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: core group Sirianni, Kellen Moore, Vic Fangel, that's what they want.

168
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily believe that. With the Cowboys and listen,

169
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: we all kind of mocked Mike McCarthy rightfully so because

170
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: he lied about he had the year off, said he

171
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: watched every snap and then at the press conference like, yeah,

172
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: actually didn't watch every snap what like four games like

173
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: their roster like the Cowboys. I'm cool, But one thing

174
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: he's proven and it can't be argued he's a good coach.

175
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: He is. He wins a lot of games, won a

176
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of games with the Packers, he and Aaron Rodgers.

177
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: Then he goes to Dak who's solid but he ate

178
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: sure as hell A and Aaron Rodgers, and they have

179
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: been consistently good. They've hosted playoff games two of three years.

180
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: The problem is McCarthy, the regular season means nothing now.

181
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: It's it's irrelevant whether he wins ten, eleven, twelve games,

182
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: none of it matters. He's gonna be brickly judged in January.

183
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: And to me, he borderline has to get him in

184
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, which they haven't been to in

185
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: two and a half decades. I just can't imagine he's

186
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna be the coach next year and we already know

187
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: that he's under his last year of his contract, which

188
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: is borderline unheard of in the NFL. I think Coughlin

189
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: did it years ago with the Giants and obviously he

190
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: lost his job. So to me, if the Cowboys aren't

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: super successful in the playoffs, and let's face it, based

192
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: on their offseason, like they've lost players because of their

193
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: cap situation, they had to get rid of productive guys.

194
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: They also lost their defensive coordinator who While the season

195
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: ended poorly for dan Quinn, I think we all agree

196
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: dan Quinn was a big addition to Mike McCarthy's success

197
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: the last two or three years in the regular season,

198
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: So do they come back to earth a little bit

199
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: in the regular season, that meaning they got to go

200
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: on the road if they can't win the division, you

201
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: would assume the division is a little better now that

202
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: you know who knows Washington to be a little spicier.

203
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: We know the Eagles and them play really tough games.

204
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: I just think that makes the most sense, even though

205
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: people are like, ah, Bill and Jerry the power like

206
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Bill's gonna be seventy four years old. That's what I

207
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: want to happen. And then let's face it, the curveball

208
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the Giants in their situation a

209
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: little bit later. Is them. Belichick became a household name

210
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: for sports fans in the eighties when he was the

211
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: brains behind the motivation of parcels with the Giants, and clearly,

212
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: if you've ever watched the Two Bills, that organization he

213
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: has a special place for. He hates the Jets. He

214
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't piss on every player on the Jets if they

215
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: were on fire in his front yard. He despises that organization,

216
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: but it feels like he loves the Giants and one

217
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: thing with Bill, and I'm sure we'll see this clearly,

218
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: Like Pat knows, we can't really ask about the Craft situation.

219
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: Bill probably doesn't want to discuss that publicly, but that

220
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: thing's getting really ugly. It really is. And even though

221
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: everyone has Bill's back in the Boston market, all the players,

222
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Bill's wired to be like double fu mode. That's how

223
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: he's been with some of their big scandals, right the

224
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: flight Gate, Spygate. He comes out guns blazing, and I

225
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: can't imagine he will do whatever it takes to be

226
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: a head coach in the league next year and time.

227
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would say shakes the negativity around him because

228
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: his team wasn't very good this year. Quarterback was a

229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: joke and Mac Jones was on the team because of Belichick.

230
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: But the defense was good and their kicker was terrible,

231
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: which he draft. But I just think that I saw

232
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: it forever with Gruden, and I was fooled. I really was,

233
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: because when Gruden interviewed Forever or was like putting his

234
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: hat in the ring for all those jobs college and pro,

235
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: You're like, God, I'd be all over John Gruden. You

236
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: can get John Gruden and then he came back and like, Eh,

237
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: not quite what I expected. But then you look back,

238
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: how successful was he the last four or five years

239
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Not really. So I think Bill is

240
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna be constantly connected to these NFC East teams, and

241
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: that's fun. Like sometimes I think hypotheticals can get out

242
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: of control. To me, there's substance behind this, there's reality

243
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: behind this, and it's just gonna be something that we

244
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: continue to talk about, especially with the Cowboys if this

245
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: season just goes a little rocky. They already are in

246
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: a weird situation with the quarterback and what they're gonna do.

247
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: Are they gonna finally extend them? Are they just gonna

248
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: play it out? I don't know, but I think the

249
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys to me, would be the number one if I

250
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: had to rank them. You know, if you told me

251
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: all three teams have shitty years, which I guess as

252
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: possible you can have a bad team win a Division

253
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: seven and nine, I would go Cowboys, Giants, Eagles in

254
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: the ranking of Bill Belichick landing next year. One thing

255
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: that has, you know, following these top teams and the

256
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: messaging coming out of them that's been pretty interesting is

257
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the Bears never wavered. Right, My mom could have told

258
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: you they were taking Caleb Williams three months ago. Some

259
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: people still like, I'd go with Justin Fields, make it work,

260
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: give him a chance, and the Bears like, yeah, we're

261
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: sending him to the Steelers for a six round pick. Seeya,

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: And the conversation, even for those little radicals that wanted

263
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: Fields to somehow survive, we're completely muted and we all

264
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: agreed like everyone knows, so we don't even talk about

265
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: that much. There's nothing to talk about. Honestly. The only

266
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: conversation with the Bears is what they're gonna do with

267
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: the ninth pick. But the messaging coming out, they don't

268
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: even need the message. Caleb's taken one visit and it

269
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: was to Chicago. I mean, he's gonna be a Chicago

270
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: Bear now once you get to two. Adam Peters, I

271
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: don't want to say has been as a steadfast in

272
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: terms of like the Bears left no doubt, but he

273
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: has definitely let it be known like, yeah, we're not

274
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: really open for business. We feel pretty confident at this pick. Now,

275
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: we don't exactly know who's gonna pick. Most people and

276
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: the betting odds would say Jade and Daniels. I wouldn't

277
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: bet my life's savings on it. But when people ask me,

278
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: and when I ask people Jade Daniels, James Daniels, everyone

279
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: says Jade Daniels. So I think it's fair to assume

280
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: Jayden and Daniels. I wouldn't like fall out of my

281
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: chair if another name pops up next Thursday. But they're

282
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna pick a quarterback, right, we know that. We just

283
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: don't know exactly one hundred cent sure who is gonna be.

284
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: But the other teams have not been like that, Elliott

285
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Wolfe said today, longtime Executive doesn't even have the GM title.

286
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Not quite sure what the crafts are doing, honestly, not

287
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: quite sure. Just name the guy the fucking GM. I

288
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: don't care if it's like, well, he actually has all

289
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: the duties, have the balls to name him the GM.

290
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Separate from all the stuff with Bill

291
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: and the production company. Why are you guys being so

292
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: weird with this? You have a first time head coach.

293
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Just make Elliott wolf the GM. Are you like giving

294
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: him a year trial run? He said, we're open for business.

295
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: And then it kind of hit me today if I'm

296
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: the Crafts Jonathan Bob and I am getting destroyed locally,

297
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean destroyed. I have heard everywhere I look on

298
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: the internet, Boston people. I played golf with a guy

299
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: like three weeks ago from Boston. Every One I've talked

300
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: to or listened to say he's getting crushed because it's clear,

301
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: like listen, time to break up whatever. You don't need

302
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: to like piss on the guy's grave. You why are

303
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: you trying to get all that? Why are you doing this? Well,

304
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: what's the easiest way to make that negativity kind of

305
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: be silenced? Because if they trade back, it's like, oh,

306
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: they added two first round picks and they got all

307
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: these players. No one will care. No one gives a

308
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: shit when you draft an offensive lineman until that guy

309
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,119
Speaker 1: becomes a star offensive lineman. But you take a quarterback,

310
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: you take Drake may or you take JJ McCarthy with

311
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: a third overall pick. We stopped talking about how cheap

312
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: the Crafts are, how shitty they've handled this situation, how

313
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: just what egomaniac and control freaks they've become since Bill left.

314
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: We just start talking about how good is JJ McCarthy

315
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: or Drake may or Jaden Daniel is going to be

316
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: on their team. Takes all the oxygen out of that conversation.

317
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: So even if Elliott Wolf wanted to trade back one,

318
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: he has no equity with the franchise in terms of

319
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's never made a pick before for them too.

320
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: He's not even technically the general manager in three. If

321
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: you're of the crafts like Kake, whoever you like the

322
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: most of that position right there, we want you to

323
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: do that. Bill might say, yeah, we're not doing that,

324
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: and Bill would have traded back. Bill would have done

325
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: whatever he wanted to do. Elliot Wolf can't. He just

326
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: won't be allowed to. So even if the front office

327
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff was like, you know, given our roster,

328
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: like let's take a deep breath, I don't even think

329
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: it will be an option because the owners will never

330
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: allout because it's the easiest way to have everyone stop

331
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: talking about how poorly they've handled everything. The Giants, you know.

332
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen said, I see all his clips on YouTube.

333
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: He's got I think he's got a radio show, TV show,

334
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: not exactly sure what it is, but I follow this

335
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: stuff on YouTube. And one thing he said, like less

336
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: than a week, maybe a couple days after the combine.

337
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: Obviously he's there for a week calling it with DJ.

338
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: Is that One of the main buzz scuttle butt he

339
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: had heard is how much the Giants had buyer's remorse

340
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: on Daniel Jones, which everyone's like, yeah, no shit, and

341
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: Joe Shane the day at the press conference was basically

342
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: asked about that and he said none of it was true. Now,

343
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: before I dive into my thoughts on this, I understand

344
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: where he's sitting, regardless how you actually feel, even like

345
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, I never actually wanted to sign this contract.

346
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: I was forced to by the ownership. We were lukewarm

347
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: on the guy even Dayball, like we would have been

348
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: cool with letting him test free agency. John Marra forceus.

349
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: On my hand, he can't say that, even if he

350
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: was on board with the signing and was like, listen,

351
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: short term deal, eighty million dollars sounds a lot to

352
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of people NFL world a

353
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: couple of years. Move on, no, Biggie, we don't really

354
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: like him anymore. We'll find another quarterback we plan on

355
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: trading up in this draft. He can't say that either.

356
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: So he's in a position where he can't really tell

357
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: the truth, but let me tell the truth for him.

358
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: They one hundred percent ownership coach GM have buyer's remorse

359
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: if they could do it over, under no circumstances would

360
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: they assign that contract. I'm actually confident enough they wouldn't

361
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: have signed him to do any contract. They would have

362
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: just let him walk. Information changes. You can love your

363
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: wife or love your girlfriend, and then all of a

364
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: sudden you found out she cheated on you with three

365
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 1: different men changes the equation. You're in business with a partner,

366
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: you're all making a lot of money, you're getting paid,

367
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: and then you find out he's stealing. Your opinion of

368
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: that individual changes. With more information, we think differently. Like listen,

369
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: they were bullish on Daniel Jones first year, win some games,

370
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: and now he's also injured, Like obviously you don't know

371
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: he's going to be injured, but sitting here today he

372
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: had a torn ACL played like shit. Torn ACL makes

373
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Pretty bad combination. So this notion

374
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: that they don't have buyer's remorse is just a bold

375
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: faced lie. It's just impossible for that not to be true.

376
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong. We all make poor decisions all

377
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: of us. I know, I own a stock right now.

378
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: It's an ETF cling the Energy ETF. I've invested well

379
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: over one hundred grand into it right now. When I

380
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: open up my account it says about forty thousand dollars. Ultimately,

381
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: big picture, I still believe in the space. But do

382
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: I regret investing my money into that stock? Of course

383
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: I do. I would much rather have put it into

384
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Netflix or put it into just anything else. But that

385
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: even if I like still and I have more belief

386
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: in that situation than I'm sure the giants do. But

387
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: why do I? I believed in it two years ago,

388
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: when it was working and going up. Things change. I

389
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: never understand people who are so beholden to the way

390
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: they thought a year ago, three years ago, eight years ago.

391
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: It's like it's twenty twenty four, April eighteenth, I'm recording this.

392
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: We have the information up to this point. You might

393
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: feel some way right now, well, April eighteenth, twenty twenty seven.

394
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: If things dramatically change about whatever you're thinking about, you're

395
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: probably not gonna think that way anymore. I hope you wouldn't,

396
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: cause if you still did, you'd probably have some issue.

397
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, people ask me all the time, like, what

398
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: are your career goals? Do you want to be on television?

399
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, is YouTube bigger in television

400
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: right now? I'd say for most people I know it is.

401
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, things change at dramatic speeds. I don't know.

402
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do whatever I have to do. I'm willing

403
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes wherever things are going, that's

404
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: where you go. I saw a lot of people when

405
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: I first got into radios around so many of these

406
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: newspaper guys. I saw a guy recently on on X

407
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: it was like, the best advice for anyone in sports

408
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: media still is to start at a newspaper. Unless I'm

409
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: not into like talking shit on Twitter as much anymore,

410
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't care. That's it was the dumbest thing I'd

411
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: ever read. I'm like, this guy's actually putting this out there. Yeah,

412
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: if this was two thousand and one, maybe that's pretty

413
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: good advice. It's twenty twenty four. That'd be the last

414
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: thing I would advise to any young person, unless it's

415
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: like the Wall Street Journal. Do not not fucking do that.

416
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: So signing quarterbacks is complicated. Signing the great quarterbacks is

417
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: relatively easy, even though it's complicated because of the amount

418
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: of money, as in like Lamar Jackson, we all knew

419
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: he was good and it was still complicated, right. Patrick

420
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes was pretty easy, Josh Allen was pretty easy. Even

421
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: the Herbert thing, like there's pressure for him to be

422
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: a consistent top five quarterback. Trevor Lawrence has not been

423
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: paid yet, Like we need to see a little more

424
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: before we give you one hundred and eighty two hundred

425
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: million dollars. It's a big financial decision, so eighty million

426
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: dollars is not two hundred million dollars. But you could

427
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: argue after fifteen touchdowns that even deserve eighty million dollars.

428
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: But there is no way to spin it. They have

429
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: buyer's remorse and there's nothing wrong with that. It's dive

430
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: into Fugazi Friday and a lot of you guys are

431
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: now doing most of the work because I just get

432
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: I get DM and I was like, yeah, I haven't

433
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: seen a big fugazi lately. A lot of you guys

434
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: that hit me up about my tahoe and I got

435
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: one of those plug in things. It works, okay. I

436
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: Actually I had someone from Chevrolet reach out listener of

437
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: the show, Jeff, hopefully you know something materializes. You know,

438
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. We do a lot of business here.

439
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: So Chevy arms wide open. As my guys at CREED

440
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: would say, uh, let's start with this. I think this

441
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: position assignment in the NFL and how it leads to

442
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: contracts is somewhat of a fugazi Why wouldn't Kelsey's agent

443
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: identify him as a wide receiver? Bowers too, I think

444
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: they need to do positional groups opposed to specific positions quarterback,

445
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver, tight end, O line, D line, etc.

446
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: With the amount of scheming and utilizing players in multiple

447
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: positions with different formations, I think the current model is

448
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: outdated and they need to revamp considering its direct impact

449
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: on the cap, player contracts and franchises. Totally agree. Would

450
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: not be opposed to that, and I'm not exactly pro

451
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: agent here, but I think it makes a lot of sense.

452
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey is a wide receiver. The problem is the

453
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: way the situation is constructed. Jimmy Graham was too and

454
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: he tried to argue and he lost. So it gets

455
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: too complicated where you just it's not worth arguing over

456
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: something you will not win. And like in real estate,

457
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: it's all just comps on your position. Even though Travis

458
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: Kelcey would say, who's my comp? I catch one hundred

459
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: balls a year. I'm the greatest receiving tight end of

460
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: all time because I'm a fucking wide receiver. But that's

461
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: not the way it works. Micah Parsons like, hey, Nick

462
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: Bosa is a defensive end. He just got one hundred

463
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars guaranteed. I am not an outside linebacker.

464
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm a pass rusher, just like PJ, just like Bosa,

465
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: and just like Miles Garrett, I am a pass rusher.

466
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: Pass catching tight ends and pass rushers get screwed. One

467
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: thousand percent totally with you. This is a Fugazi Friday.

468
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: A couple months ago, my wife and I had VRBO

469
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: booked for a trip to Miami, taking a little weekend

470
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: in the sun. Less than a week before our stay,

471
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: we get a notification from the owner that they sold

472
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: the place on a reservation was canceled. While they did

473
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: technically refund us, so you got refunded. It was extremely frustrating,

474
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: no alternatives, and the rebooking was on us to figure

475
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: it out. If it were the other way around and

476
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: we canceled for any reason, we would have lost our

477
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: payment due to the terms. But since the owner cancels,

478
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: they don't have any repercussions. What the fugazi. I think

479
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 1: there's a simple solution to this, and I'll be honest,

480
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest vrbo Airbnb like I I never

481
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: set that up. Whenever I'm at one, it's always through

482
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: someone else. Maybe I'm living in the past, still more

483
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: of a hotel guy when I travel. Maybe that will

484
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: change with time. Build a family, obviously it's much easier.

485
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just living in the past. Maybe I should

486
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: get into that game a little more. If your house,

487
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy, Right I put my house

488
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: on vrbo Airbnb. Some guy knocks on my door, calls

489
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: me up and says makes me an offer I can't refuse.

490
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: I sell the house. If my house is for sale

491
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: or is pending a sale, and I'm doing this, there

492
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: should be some sort of situation that vrbo or these

493
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: companies help you facilitate a new place. Right to me,

494
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: if it's something that just happens overnight, which it's hard

495
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: for purchase to happen, overnight, so they would have known that.

496
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: To me is another step of like, Okay, my house

497
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: is on the market. I'm just vrb owing it out.

498
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: I know at any moment it could be sold, and

499
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: then people with reservations, especially in a place Miami, Scottsdale, right,

500
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: San Diego, Vegas, New Orleans. I mean that there are

501
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: certain travel destinations here that are going to be pretty

502
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: highly impacted when a house sells. So I would say, yeah,

503
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: I understand your frustrations, and this is easily avoidable, right,

504
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: especially if the house had been for sale for a while.

505
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: Fugazi Friday fast food. Fast food has always been terrible

506
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: for you, but it was convenient enough and cheap enough

507
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: to justify justify sacrificing some health every now and then, agreed. However,

508
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: in the post COVID world, outside of the real estate market,

509
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: it seems like there is no industry that has taken

510
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: advantage of inflation quite like American fast food. I used

511
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: to be able to go to BK. It'd be Burger King,

512
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: McDonald's or tackle Bell and grab a lunch for six

513
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: seven dollars. It's almost impossible to find anywhere much less.

514
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: Some already more expect of brands and not walk out

515
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: paying less than fifteen dollars. I ordered four burgers and

516
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: two orders of fries from one fast food joint, no drinks,

517
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: sixty two dollars. Service is stuffered at many of the

518
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: change yet the drive throughs are still twenty minutes deep

519
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: for god knows what burger and they nearly cost what

520
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: you can get ordered fresh at a sit down restaurant.

521
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: I'll never forget being a kid. You go to Taco

522
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Bell and eat like a king with a five dollar bill,

523
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: eat like a king. McDonald's used to have pretty good

524
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: meals for under five bucks. Burger King definitely had a

525
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: good nine and nine cent menu, soda Wendy's. I don't

526
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: eat fast food as much anymore. I would say this,

527
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: and I always notice this because we go to in

528
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: and Out probably once a month, maybe twice a month.

529
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: That is easily the best paying for your buck. You

530
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: can get a shitload of food to feed four people

531
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: for thirty bucks. You can eat like a king for

532
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: two people for under twenty So I'm talking triple triples,

533
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: animal style fries, milkshakes. I just think that these companies.

534
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know where you live, but obviously in California

535
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: now minimum wage twenty bucks. So as all this stuff

536
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: goes up, the price, like they pass that on to us, right,

537
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: that's always hey, guys, it's why the government is always

538
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: so out of touch, Like cost gets passed on. Welcome

539
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: to I don't know the business world. So all their stuff,

540
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know where McDonald's or Burger King

541
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: gets their meat, but that's more expensive. Everything's more expensive.

542
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: So as that gets more expensive, labor gets more expensive.

543
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: The McDonald's I think, owns their real estate, but some

544
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: of these other companies maybe lease out of, you know,

545
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: land that gets more expensive. It just drives up. But

546
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you, it's hard to justify. I also think

547
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: we need to think about this differently because in the

548
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: history of the world, like the dollar doesn't come back

549
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: down in terms of you know, remember when a burger

550
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: was twenty eight dollars and then it came down to

551
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars. Not usually the way it works. In my

552
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine years of life, things have steadily risen. Car prices, clothes, food,

553
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: you name it, right, Like, this is the reality. And

554
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: I think for anyone I don't know how old you are,

555
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: but we used to look at twenty dollars or one

556
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or one hundred dollars. You have it in

557
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: your head what that means. Well, doesn't mean that anymore,

558
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: which sucks. I'm not it just sucks. It was out

559
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: of our control, but kind of is what it is.

560
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: So I think you should just boycott the fast foods.

561
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: I still think you go to Taco Bell. I haven't

562
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: been there in a while, but bean and cheese burrito.

563
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: It's just regular tacos, even chicken soft tacos. My buyer

564
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: to Taco Bell is usually a bean and cheese burrito.

565
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: If I'm feeling fat, probably two chicken soft tacos supremes

566
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: and maybe like a chicken imbrito. That's if I'm feeling fat.

567
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: If I just want to stay healthy, just and I

568
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: need a little snack, two chicken soft tacos boom, little

569
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: mild sauce off and running. That's really the only fast

570
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: food I would do McDonald's for breakfast, but my body,

571
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and I'm someone in my teens in the early twenties, Like,

572
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of guys ate a lot of

573
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: fast food. I just I'll be two hundred and fifty pounds,

574
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: and like you said, it's not like you're getting some deal.

575
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: It's not like, Hey, you know, I didn't pay anything

576
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: double inflation Fugazi Friday companies that are charging more and

577
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: giving less. I'd rather pay additionally for same product and

578
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: not have the quality reduction. My dog treats recently started

579
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: charging more and now the treats are roughly fifty percent smaller,

580
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: cut in half horizontally. All this does for the consumer

581
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: is make them hate the brand. And I have sworn

582
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: off dozens of companies doing this and making my own

583
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: dog treats. Fuck companies who don't respect their consumer. Yeah,

584
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. Having a dog

585
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: not cheap, especially bigger dogs. Food's not cheap. They eat

586
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: a lot. We always had labs in my house and

587
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: they eat a lot. The good thing is, you know,

588
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: certain dogs make them an egg here and there, feed

589
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: them some chicken. But I hear you. You know the

590
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: reason Amazon, I mean started run circles around people. Customer

591
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: service could send anything back. Delivery was free customer customer customer.

592
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: Any person listening to this as just someone who consumes

593
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot. When you're customer friendly, that loyalty even if

594
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: in my generation we're less loyal than my parents' generation,

595
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: it does still mean something. It really does. Shitty customer

596
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: service is always the easiest way. You better have an

597
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: elite product. It's like a player. It's like he's pro bowler.

598
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: He's been arrested a few times. Well, it's still a

599
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: pro bowler. You're not a pro bowler to getting arrested.

600
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: See you you're cut right. It's like, yeah, the food's

601
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: all eat. Customer service sucks. You're like, I'm still eat there, Like,

602
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: oh yeah, your product's okay in your customer service sucks.

603
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: Peace because it's never been easier to find other options, right,

604
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: got this little thing called the internet. Lakers basketball is

605
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: a fugazi. First time watching the Laker game all year,

606
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: and the end of the game is just give the

607
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: ball to a d then they have a foul. AD

608
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: shoots free throws. Lakers win on AD free throws. I

609
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: think the Lakers I heard on a podcast ear this

610
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: year were like setting a record for most free throws

611
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: in a year. I mean the Lakers won that game

612
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: because Sion got hurt. They were gonna lose. Zion was dominating. Luckily,

613
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: we get to watch the Lakers lose the Denver Nuggets,

614
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: who are gonna kick the shit out of them. They've

615
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: got I'd say five. I'll give the Lakers a courtesy

616
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: game Audios Lebron Audio, Steph Audio's NBA television ratings. When

617
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: you're two most famous players, one gets knocked out in

618
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: the nine ten and the other gets knocked out in

619
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: the first round, it's gonna be rough for business. You know,

620
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: I like playoff stuff. But if you think I'm watching

621
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: King's OKC, you got another thing coming. Fugazi Friday. The

622
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: market for NFL quarterbacks. I'm a Dolphins fan, and the

623
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: big topic this offseason for fans on Dolphins podcast is

624
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: obviously to his extension. Everyone keeps bringing up the quarterback

625
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: market and that you can't offer a guy like Tua

626
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a year because the market dictates that

627
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: he should make more like fifty five million. I feel

628
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: like I'm taking crazy pills. They claim. This is why

629
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones contract happened, among other dumb quarterback contracts. The

630
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote market is such a fugazy If you put

631
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: two on the open market, there is no shot that

632
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: a team would Payhi more than thirty million dollars. I

633
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: never quite understand this either, because Daniel Jones and even

634
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: Tua you're not afraid to lose them. Like, what drives

635
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: up a price for a player is like he has leverage.

636
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: If so, if Justin Jefferson hit the open market, if

637
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa or TJ. Watt hit the open market, like

638
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: you know, people would be lined up twenty teams, the

639
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: good teams and the bad team. No, everyone would try

640
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: to sign the guy. Okay, it's like, yeah, here's our offer,

641
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: three years, eighty million dollars will guarantee eighty will guarantee

642
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But this is your offer. It's like, no,

643
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: what the disrespect? Okay, play this year out hit free agency,

644
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: and see what happens. If you play so well this year,

645
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: maybe we'll up the offer. I never quite understand that

646
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: with these middle tier quarterbacks. I don't get it makes

647
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: no sense to me. Baseball's all out of whack, just

648
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: in terms of guys signing right before the regular season.

649
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: They're free agent. Their business models fucked up. But one

650
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: thing that's come back to earth is like, yeah, Otani's

651
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: worth seven hundred, Mookie's worth four hundred. Most of you

652
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: guys are worth like a hundred and some of these

653
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: outrageous contracts have definitely slowed down and it's just healthier.

654
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, not everyone's worth this. The NBA is

655
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: obviously a lout of whack. They max out everybody, But

656
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: the NFL has that problem with quarterback. Like, yeah, Lamar

657
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: mahomes Alan, I'm sorry, Like, what's Tua the fourteenth best

658
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. Here's twenty eight million dollars a

659
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: year for three years. If you improve, we'll bump that

660
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: number up. We like you, Someone's gonna pay you. Yeah,

661
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: someone would pay us. That was what his agent would say. Okay,

662
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: go play for them for forty five million dollars. Good

663
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: luck to that fucking team. Godspeed. I'm with you. I

664
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: never have understood that we've seen it happen with Dak.

665
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: We saw it happen with Dak a couple of years ago.

666
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: Feels like we're gonna see it with Tua this year.

667
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: Be interesting what happens with Dak again. I just don't

668
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: get like a more manageable number. How there's not a gap, right,

669
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: because there is a gap in terms of the play.

670
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: So if there's a gap in terms of the play

671
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't there be a cap in terms of the compensation.

672
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: If one of my sales guys is bringing in ten

673
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: million dollars a year and the other sales guy is

674
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: bringing in two million dollars a year, who do you

675
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: think is making more bonuses? Right? It's like, well, one

676
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: guy's just way better than the other guy by every metric.

677
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: The eye tests playoffs like it's not even debatable. I

678
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: don't get it, never have, never will to be honest

679
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: with you, Okay, Middlecoff mailbag very very easy to get

680
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: involved at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff Instagram handle fire

681
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: in those dms. Let's start with Johnny. I want to

682
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts on Pennix. I think he can be

683
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: something special. Whenever I hear people critique him, it's because

684
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: of his age, his injury history, and his tape against Michigan.

685
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: His injuries can't be ignored. However, that was before he

686
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: got to Washington. Unless you're Eli Manning or Brett Favre,

687
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss some time. The tape against Michigan's not

688
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: very good. No, it was not my problem with people

689
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: bringing that up is I feel like the top prospects

690
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: would have struggled against that team. They were, after all,

691
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: the most complete and dominant team. I love Michael Pennix.

692
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: I've loved him for two years. I mean, he's one

693
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: of my favorite players in the draft. The problem is

694
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: to like push all my chips in the table. I'm

695
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: not as concerned the injury history because he's proven for

696
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: two years he can be healthy. I think it's more

697
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: of the Michigan game and when you look at it

698
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: in a vacuum, his team, like he had a really

699
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: good offensive line, several NFL players. Obviously he's playing with

700
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: several NFL players, a wide receiver. In that game, he

701
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: got and it really threw him off. He didn't get

702
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: hit all season. He didn't get touched. He got sacked

703
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: eleven times. So when he is not touched, you could

704
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: argue he's as good, if not the best quarterback in

705
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: the draft. And that includes Kleb Williams. Not touched, no

706
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: one would rather have thrown the ball. When you start

707
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: touching him and hitting him and just getting around him,

708
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: it threw him off in that Michigan game. That Michigan

709
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: team was an NFL team. That's kind of what it's

710
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna look like. That's what gives me some reservation. Now

711
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: if I was if the guy's in the twenties or

712
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: the top of the second round, no brainer pick. But

713
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: I do understand because after the Texas game, like, how's

714
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: this guy not gonna be a top five pick? I

715
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: get it. The age? Who gives a shit? What someone

716
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: dm me the other day like, why do we talk

717
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: so much with aging quarterbacks whether you're twenty one or

718
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty four? Who cares if you play for twelve years?

719
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: One guy's thirty two, the other guy's thirty four. Who

720
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: gives a shit? Totally agree? Age means nothing to me

721
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: in terms of a positive or negative though, Like you know,

722
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels was a fifth year guy, right, so he

723
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: should have a really good year. But he did. So

724
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't care. The age doesn't bother me.

725
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: The Michigan game, though, and I had a little money

726
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: on Washington was it was more to holding over to

727
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: win the two games. But I just think that that

728
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: is a little concerning because if you factor in the

729
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: way he played, he didn't get touched, and that's not

730
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. You get pressured and you get hit and

731
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: you get moved off your spot constantly. When he's not

732
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: moved off a spot, he's elite. Elite. But in the

733
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: pros man coming from all angles, can you move? But

734
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: and this is where he gets intriguing. Pro Day, it's like, well,

735
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: he's not a big movement guy. Then he runs a

736
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: four or five five, so you're like, God, this guy's

737
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: a really good athlete. Move him around, so maybe you

738
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: can incorporate that. He's one of my favorite players in

739
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: the draft, though I'm concerned with that. It's hard to

740
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: get that game out of my mind. But that's why

741
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna go. I mean, if you're talking about a guy,

742
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: if I can get this guy in the mid twenties,

743
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: that's incredible. Every scout I talked to is like, got

744
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: you watched PANICX? When I'm watching Rome and Dunes, Like Jesus,

745
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: guy's good. So I think we're all in agreement. The

746
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: guy's a really good player. I don't hear anyone arguing that,

747
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: because you can't argue that he's fucking dominated for two years.

748
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: He made a program that is mostly I guess they've

749
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: been good since Chris Peterson went there. But a lot

750
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: of my life hanging their hat on the early nineties.

751
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: I was like five to eight. They were not good,

752
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: and then they had bad two thousands. Even Sark like

753
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: got a bunch of hype. They never won like more

754
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: than seven games. Pete got there made him real program again.

755
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: This guy took him to like that next level. It's

756
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: like Chip Kelly, Bloody was damn good. They were constantly

757
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen. Then Chip Kelly took him to

758
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: another level. Washington was really good under Chris Peterson. It

759
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: felt like Pennix was the curveball inserted like, well, I

760
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: forget that was the quarterback's name. Kid from Sacramento. He's

761
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: the Bengals backup. He filled in for Burrow this year.

762
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: My mind is not working. Played at Washington, I mean,

763
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: a solid college player. I'm stunned he's in the NFL.

764
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: He actually looked pretty good this year. Pennix is in

765
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: a different universe than that guy Dallas. His name Jake.

766
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: I want to say, my mind's not working. This is

767
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: what happens in middle of April. A lot of things

768
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: flying through this prane. It's gonna piss me off because

769
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: I'll look it up when we're done. Mail back question

770
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys listening like Middlecoff, you're an idiot.

771
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: I know you have the name. If Caleb Williams is

772
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: a good rookie season, maybe eighty to ninety percent of

773
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: what Stroud did, or make a wild card spot. Do

774
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: you think the Bears would consider trying to avoid what

775
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: happened with Philly's regression and promote Waldron to head coach

776
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: and fire Eberflus. If Shane Waldron is really good this

777
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: year and your offense is dynamic, which it's on paper,

778
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to be right. And if this

779
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: kid's shining and he starts interviewing or it's gonna look

780
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: like a lot of teams are gonna want to talk

781
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: to him. I don't even like who cares see ebra

782
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: flues audios? Nice knowing you cool new look again if

783
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: you feel confident about it, Because let's face it, if

784
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles had to redo, it would have been the

785
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: craziest thing ever at the time, but it would been

786
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: the right move. They would have fired Cyrian and for

787
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: Shane Styking. If the Falcons had to redo the moment

788
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan started interviewing, do you know what they would

789
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: have done, they would have fired Dan Quinn. Now it's easy.

790
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: Obviously after the fact we all know the information, but

791
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: you now have information to go off of, like we

792
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: know how this goes. So Caleb Williams your future he

793
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: especially if he looks good, We'll be talking like guy,

794
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: this guy become a top five quarterback and if they

795
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: get along, wouldn't even be a question in my mind.

796
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm a Marine, thank you for your service, and grew

797
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: up in Oakland, not far from the Coliseum. Obviously, there's

798
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: a big East Bay and San Francisco rivalry in the

799
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: Bay Area. Now all that pro sports teams are out

800
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: of their way in Oakland, I can't bring myself to

801
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: continue rooting for the Raiders, Warriors, or as I feel

802
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: like it's a logical reaction. However, the city of Oakland

803
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: is as much to blame for the teams, leaving as

804
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: the respective ownership groups. Interest to hear your perspective on

805
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: what you would do in my position, root for the

806
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: Diners or the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh my favorite coach, and

807
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: the Niners are a great team. Rooting for a team

808
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: I used to hate just feels weird. Don't want to bandwagon.

809
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't think in modern history we will ever see again.

810
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if it's ever happened. The

811
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: coliseum where the A's and Raiders played, and right next

812
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: to it was Oracle. Three teams left in like a

813
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: four year span. Here's what I'd say about the Warriors,

814
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: Like that area, the Colosseum area sixty six in Hagenberger

815
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest fucking dumps of all time.

816
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: Like if they nuked it tomorrow, no one would notice

817
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: or care. So Joe lacb just picked the team up

818
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: and went to the city where there's a lot more

819
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: money and financed it himself. So I don't think you

820
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: can blame the Warriors. Weren't Oakland's team. They just played

821
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: in Oakland. They were the Greater Bay Areas team, and

822
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: he just moved him down the street. I mean, mileage

823
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: wise is like fifteen to twenty miles. Obviously it takes

824
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot longer with traffic in the bridge. But Joe

825
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: Lacob did not do what the other teams did. The Raiders. Listen,

826
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean it was the right move. I mean,

827
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: there's no way around it. He never would have got

828
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: a free stadium it's in an area way more vibrant now,

829
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: way more money behind him. It's not even close. He

830
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: couldn't have financially survived one building stadium on his own.

831
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: Into the Niners suck up all the money and listen,

832
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: you're from the East Bay. I lived there for a decade.

833
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: You know, I'm from Davis, Sacramento area. The East Bay

834
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: is majority Niner fans, just like it's majority Giants fans.

835
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: Danville Pleasanton like the Niners, and Giants sucked up all

836
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: the oxygen. So even the A's like I don't I

837
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: bet would, They'll stay in Sacramento and they should. Sacramento

838
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense than Oakland. Next year they

839
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: will sell out fifteen thousand people at the Triple A

840
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: Stadium every single night. What was going on in Oakland

841
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: with the A's and listen their ownerships of joke? I mean,

842
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: the politicians in Oakland have historically been one of the

843
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: biggest laughing stocks in America my forty years of life,

844
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean absolute joke. Now John Fisher, rich guy doesn't

845
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: want to spend but and I get it, but it

846
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: wasn't working like it was time. It was over the

847
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Raider things more complicated. Uh, They're the one team that

848
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: I see the point of the fan, which is what

849
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: you're asking about. Joe Lacob made the right move, and

850
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: every human being in his position would have made that move.

851
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: The things a combination of a lot of variables. But

852
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I do kind of believe him that he

853
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: would have stayed, but he would have needed a hand

854
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 1: out and he just wasn't gonna get it there, and

855
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: Vegas gave it to him. And now he's way richer

856
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: and living in a twenty million dollar house. You know, Dayton,

857
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: just tens that might be working, girls might not be.

858
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not I'm not one to judge, but listen,

859
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: Mark Mark, Mark, Mark doesn't regret it. I would say this,

860
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: I would go Hardbaugh. It's not It's the Oakland Raiders

861
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: that you grew up rooting against, played the San Diego Chargers.

862
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: They're now the Los Angeles Chargers and the Spanos has

863
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: got in the league because Al Davis, so there's a

864
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: connection there. I'm rooting for the Chargers. People think I'm

865
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: a Charger hater. No, I thought Brandon Staley was a clown.

866
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: I love Jim Harbaugh. I'm a Jim Harbaugh fan. I

867
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: mean my squad's next year Niners, Andy Veach and Harbaugh.

868
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: Those teams were and the Eagles. I like the Lions.

869
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: I like Dan Campbell, Jared Goffs cow guy. So but

870
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent room for the Chargers. I love

871
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. I've rooted for Jim Harbaugh now fifteen years

872
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: and I will not stop. So props with Dean Spanos

873
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: for We're hiring a real coach. Got me on board,

874
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: keep up the great work. Question for the mailbag. I'm

875
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: a Cardinal fan, and to be honest, I don't know

876
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: how to feel about the fourth pick. I'm a big

877
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray guy, and drafting Marvin Harrison our neighbors sounds enticing,

878
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: but I'm wondering would it be more productive to trade

879
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: back for extra capital and possibly draft a receiver who

880
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: falls in the draft. We already have the Texans pick,

881
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: so I'm just not sure if the extra capital is necessar.

882
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: What I think the move is for the Cardinals and

883
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: this is what I expect, and it'll be an early

884
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: teaser for the old mock draft coming is I think

885
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals and Peter Schrager is pretty dialed

886
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: in with the Giants. I think the Giants trade from

887
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: six to four, so the Cardinals go to pick six,

888
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: well four quarterbacks go one, two, three, four. Even if

889
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: the Chargers, which I do not think are any lock

890
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: to take a wide receiver, but let's say they take

891
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, You'll take Roma Doonzay. I've talked to enough

892
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: people in the league that know Monte Austin Fort. He's

893
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: not risking it on Neighbors because Neighbors is a little

894
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: bit of a wild card. But you will get one

895
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: of the top three wide receivers. And add I don't

896
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: know a third round pick. So if Marvin Harrison Junior

897
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: is taking it five, which again I feel pretty confident

898
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: that is not a lock, that is not a lock

899
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: at all. So you either get Marvin Harrison and Romadunsay.

900
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: One of those two players will be your wide receiver

901
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: at six. I think that's what ends up happening. But

902
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you, like to go from like four to eleven,

903
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: Like that's that's probably two four because you do need

904
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: an impact skill guy. I guess if you went to eleven,

905
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: you could take Bowers, but your tight ends actually pretty good,

906
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: Nick Bride, So maybe not see you on Instagram all

907
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: the time. McBride's playing golf all the way around. That

908
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: guy's good. I me's I like that guy a lot.

909
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: Should the team that drafts Jaden Daniels trade next year's

910
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: number one pick to get Neighbors? In recent years, many

911
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: college quarterbacks are paired with their college wide receivers Joe

912
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: Burrow and Jamar Chase, and many of the Alabama team

913
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: produce high resorts results with this strategy. Should the team

914
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: drafting JD consider overpaying? Well, if we assume Washington takes them,

915
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: which is kind of universally assumed right now, Washington doesn't

916
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: have another first round pick, so if Neighbors is going

917
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: to go in the top ten, they couldn't get up

918
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: that far. No one's trading picked eight or nine to

919
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: go to the second round. Even if you give me

920
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: a couple first round picks. I just can't move back

921
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: that far. So I just it's not realistic. I hear

922
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and in a perfect world it makes

923
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. But yeah, any thoughts on oj Simpson.

924
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: I think I talked about it last week. Uh, since

925
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: I talked about it. He made him the kid sign

926
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: an NDA. What a fucking bizarre life. I mean, I mean, seriously, well,

927
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: that's just icing on the cake of the whole situation.

928
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: Children have to get into the when the guy's on

929
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: his deathbed has to sign an NDA. I mean, I've

930
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: been in a hospital room with my dad on a deathbed.

931
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine. Hey, hey, sir, you need to

932
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: before you can come in. Jeff needs you to sign this.

933
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: What's this? There's an NDA, so anything discussed in here

934
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: you can't be said. I mean, it was a ninety

935
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: six million dollars, that's what OJ's the estate osen just

936
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: a It's just just feel dirty. The whole fucking thing.

937
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: Great podcast, always checking for updated wisdom from you. Would

938
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: you happen to know how they determine who gets a

939
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: vote for NBA MVP. I think it's just the media

940
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: likes people that cover the league, beat reporters, the main guys,

941
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: the Bill Simmons, Winhorse, Zach Lowe's of the world. I

942
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: don't think it's that complicated, Like, I don't think they

943
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: think that deep into it, Like if you've been covering

944
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 1: a team like Anthony Slater in the Bay Area, covers

945
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: the Warriors and now the Kings from cover to the

946
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: thunder forever with Durant like, I'm sure he has a vote.

947
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: I think you just want. I think if you were

948
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: running these things. Here's the problem is people get votes,

949
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: right if you are play by play, guys used to

950
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: have them. Well, they see their team. Eighty one time

951
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: is like a year, right, same thing with baseball. You're

952
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: not watching the rest of the league because you're always playing.

953
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: Like in the NFL, you can kind of keep up.

954
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: It's easier to keep up, but you still miss a

955
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 1: lot of games. I'm actually probably more suited to vote

956
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,240
Speaker 1: for some of the awards than a guy that covers

957
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: the New York Jets because every week he's at a game,

958
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: so he's missing the majority games all on my couch,

959
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: three TVs Up seven games on television, watching everything. You

960
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: could argue that the GM should vote. Sad Broncos fan here,

961
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: what is stopping us from trading certained for a premier

962
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in this year's draft? I feel like PS two

963
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: and a first rounder at least gets us the Pats

964
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: on the phone. Peyton has brought the options down to

965
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback from left field, like Brady or one from

966
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 1: the draft with Danuci and Stidham. It's a rough quarterback

967
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: room being the only quarterbacks rostered is trading certain feasible

968
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: one million percent. Obviously you don't like trading elite players,

969
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: but you're in this foo bar situation, and let's face it,

970
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It is a disaster. You're eating

971
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: all this cap room because of the Russell Wilson trade.

972
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: That is one of the worst trades of all time,

973
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 1: regardless of what happens Seattle for the Denver Broncos, it's

974
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: one of, if not the worst trade of all time.

975
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: The money, the production, the assets, the the cap implications.

976
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: So I think you gotta think out of the box

977
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: whatever if they do that. Here's one positive for Sean Payton.

978
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't give a shit what other people are saying. Clearly,

979
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean he cut Russell and didn't even think. Twice

980
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: asked him take a pay cut in the middle of

981
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: year's Yeah, if you don't take a pay cut, we'll

982
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna betch you, which it turns out wasn't quite allowed,

983
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: but he didn't care. So yeah, I would say everything's

984
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: on the table with them. Nothing will shock me With

985
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton nothing. What are the expectations for the Commanders

986
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: this year? New for an office, new coaching staff, a

987
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: bunch of new free agents can't help but be hyped.

988
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: Josh Harris has made I think it's realistic to go

989
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: like eight ish wins and just look like a team

990
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: on the come. Now you get to eight wins, that

991
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: would mean Jaden Daniels, assuming he's a quarterback, shows a

992
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: lot of signs. That's the wild card, right. I think

993
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: we all do this with the Bears too. NFL quarterbacks hard.

994
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: Even if it's easier to play now than ever, it's

995
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: still difficult and there can be a massive learning curve

996
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: the speed, the play calls, everything. So like the Commanders

997
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: in three years could be a dominant team and this

998
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: year could suck. Like that's on the table. You're not

999
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: being that good this year. If Jay is kind of swimming,

1000
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: which might happen, and this is where you got to

1001
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: be careful about. Like CJ. Stroud last year, that's not

1002
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: normal obviously. I mean he chattered rookie records. That was abnormal.

1003
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: That was an all time outlier. So most guys are

1004
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: kind of up and down. It's difficult, It really is

1005
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: and here's the problem. The difference for the Bears. Bears

1006
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: have a good defense, so the Bears might be able

1007
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: to win some ugly games. So if they get to

1008
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: if you tell me the Bears are nine to eight,

1009
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, maybe they're maybe. Also their defense

1010
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: is like top twelve. Your defense might suck. I mean,

1011
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: you just you got rid of defensive lineman. You just

1012
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of holes. You're obviously investing your first

1013
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: pick in a quarterback. I think you got to see

1014
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: the big picture. To me, this year is all about

1015
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: just like getting this guy's feet under him and him

1016
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: showing a lot of signs for the future. I would

1017
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: say eight wins would be a really big success. But

1018
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: even if you win six or seven, but it's like

1019
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: you're in a lot of games. Maybe your defense is

1020
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: getting gashed. That's how you feel pretty good. And honestly,

1021
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna win six, you're almost better win five

1022
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: or four. So you can get a high pick next

1023
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: year and draft a sweet defensive player. But I think

1024
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: we got to be careful with these rookie quarterbacks. Most

1025
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: of them just do not play that well. Question first though,

1026
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: I want to say how cool it is to see

1027
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I first heard you doing Raiders postgame

1028
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: right after the Rams kicked the shit out of the

1029
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: car Is rookie year. It was refreshing to hear an

1030
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: honest take about how they had little to no talent

1031
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: compared to the rest of the league. I'm pretty sure

1032
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: after that game, if I remember correctly, they had they

1033
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: had like six games left, and I thought they could

1034
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: go winless. I didn't think they were gonna win a game.

1035
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: And that's when the president who now got fired for

1036
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: fucking up the taxes on the team called me from

1037
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: the plane. He was in line to get on the

1038
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: plane and called me because he saw a tweet that

1039
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: I said, like, the Raiders have to sixteen on the table.

1040
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: Weird place. I know they were own ten. Let me

1041
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: remind you own ten. But he was not happy. Luckily,

1042
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: the guy I worked for the time at the radio

1043
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: station was like, Fox, say whatever you want, and I did.

1044
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: Now for my question. It seems like they ended up

1045
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: beating They got their first win against the Chiefs that year.

1046
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: Alex Smith Chiefs on a Thursday night football game. It

1047
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: was pretty cool, actually, the place was rocking. Rough loss

1048
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. It seems like every year there are

1049
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: more and more talented receivers coming out in the draft.

1050
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: With a passing offense seven and seven growing so much

1051
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: in the youth, high school, and college, it makes sense.

1052
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: Could you see that position eventually being financially similar to

1053
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: running backs. They don't have to wear and tear factor,

1054
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: but it'd be supplying demand issue. Not to mention, not

1055
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: many teams that overpay that position make it that far

1056
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I see what you're saying. The problem

1057
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: is is the wear and tear is a big thing.

1058
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Like if if I had Christian McCaffrey right now, and

1059
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: it never crossed my mind like oh, he's just always healthy,

1060
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: no big deal, Like he's gonna play ten more years,

1061
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: you wouldn't hesitate giving him another huge contract. But when

1062
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,439
Speaker 1: you have these running backs, all you ever think about

1063
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: is like, oh, he's gonna get injured. He's gonna get injured.

1064
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: You don't really say that with wide receivers, even though

1065
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: they get injured too. But like, I don't know how

1066
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: old Davante Adams is, thirty one, thirty two, You just think, like,

1067
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: got Davonte could play like six more years right justin

1068
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Jefferson's got ten years left. You start looking around the

1069
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: league at all these guys can play forever. That wear

1070
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: and tear is a huge part of the price. And

1071
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: the other thing is I think historically receivers have been

1072
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: very hit or missing the draft. I think in recent

1073
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: memory it's been a lot more hits than missus, at

1074
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: least in the top couple rounds. But when I have

1075
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: a good wide receiver, just pick a guy in the

1076
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: top twenty. I Uke's a good example because it's like, well,

1077
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: how much do I want to pay him? Would I

1078
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: trade him to the Steelers and use that pick on

1079
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: a wide receiver? They're just his no guarantee. I have

1080
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk. I know he's really good. I know I

1081
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: got to pay a little more than I want to,

1082
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: But if I take that position. Look at the Titans,

1083
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: it was one of the reasons that cost John Robinson

1084
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: his job. Now maybe it was the ownership didn't want

1085
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: to pay him. That's been out there. But like they

1086
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: traded aj Brown, which in theory, like okay, you traded

1087
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: him for pick whatever sixteen seventeen. They immediately take a

1088
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver and then that guy sucks. So it's like

1089
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't obviously most of us wouldn't have done it.

1090
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: But if you are gonna do it, you're like, wow,

1091
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: you get a really high pick, pick the right guy.

1092
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: The Vikings did the same thing. They just got Justin Jefferson.

1093
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: So it's like, when it works, it's awesome. When it doesn't,

1094
01:01:54,120 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: it's a disaster. The disaster easy to say, much easier

1095
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: to fill. On running backs, like high end wide receivers,

1096
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: there is a big drop off. I mean ask somebody

1097
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Giant, some of these teams that last year,

1098
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: the Titans, the Cardinals, I mean they got nothing. Seeat

1099
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, we got three wide receivers. Locket,

1100
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: He's sweet, Jackson Smith, Baller DK. You know, it's like

1101
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: some of some teams. And then but you also there's

1102
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: a hard part about the draft. It's like I would

1103
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: have said, like if Cooper cups average, the Rams are

1104
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: in trouble, and then they land Pooka Nakula and he

1105
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: has the greatest rookie season ever. So I guess I'm

1106
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: contradicting myself here. I don't have a great answer for you. Besides,

1107
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,479
Speaker 1: I think the risk is really high when you feel

1108
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: you have a really good player. I think that's a

1109
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a huge factor. Appreciate everyone listening, have

1110
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: a great weekend, and uh we'll see you next week

1111
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: for some draft talk. The volume
