23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 3: we feel in here on this Thursday morning.

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: I'm feeling great, but we're also trying to discern what

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: the hell's happened in the NFL over this free agency

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: period with Trey Hendrickson, Max Crosby, the Ravens, because I

27
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: feel like there's some people lying.

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna laid out there like this.

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: I feel like there's some people who are making up

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: some bs and then they're lying to us.

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: It's so shady that it's hilarious that people just pass

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: this off as the story and the reason and the

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: logic behind the moves that they make, and then just

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: assume that everybody's just going to buy into it, or

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: they just think, hey, listen, even if you don't. Whatever

36
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: is what it is, and when the games start next year,

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: nobody's really going to be talking about this.

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 4: It's just the Yeah, the whole thing is wild, man.

39
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,559
Speaker 3: It's it is a crazy turn of events in Baltimore.

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: Of course, right after we go off the area yesterday,

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: the announcement comes down the Trey Hendrickson is now the

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: brand new pass rusher of the Baltimore Ravens. I'm assuming

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: that he passed his physical and everything's on the up

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: and up there. But Trey Hendrickson gets a four year

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: deal one hundred and twelve million dollars could be worth

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,559
Speaker 3: up to one hundred and twenty million dollars sixty million guaranteed,

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: twenty million dollars at signing, so he does get on

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: that front. Trey Hendrickson's been looking for this deal from Cincinnati,

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: wasn't able to get it done, but he does stay

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 3: in the division and at least locks up his long

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: term deal that he's been looking for for the past

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: couple of years.

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: So good for him. Yeah, I think for Avens fans too.

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: Look, you find yourself a pass rusher guy who's been

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: really productive. Henderson didn't play as much last year. It

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: was a bid banged up, but you know, you go

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: back through the previous four or five years before that,

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: he's been a wrecking ball on passing down.

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: So that's what you're looking for. And if you're.

60
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Concerned about, you know, the Max Crosby thing, the reality

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: is they can still probably use the draft capital to

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: go get another edge rusher. Ift'd like if that's really,

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: you know what you're trying to hone in on this offseason.

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Defensively, Eric Tacosta can do that.

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I just I hate what they are perpetuating because I

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: think they're a little bit concerned about the perception of

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: how this went down when they basically used the physical

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: to back out of the deal. As I said yesterday

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: before we get off the show, they knew Max Crosby

70
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: had surgery. They knew what the injury was. It wasn't

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: like they're blind to all of it. And you're gonna

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: tell me that it took them to have their doctor

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: see it to then say, well, short term, we feel

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: good about it, but long term not so much. I

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: don't buy any of it. I think they realized they

76
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: could get an edge rusher for cheaper that could be

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: probably just as impactful, and they're probably looking at saying, yeah,

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: we feel just as comfortable with either guy. If we

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: can get one cheaper, so be it. And that's what

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: it came down to. But they can't admit that. It's

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: obviously something that the NFL teams have done in the past,

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna be able to admit.

83
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 3: That it's a pass rusher who knows the division, he

84
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: knows the offenses in the division.

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: He's there's familiarity there, you know. He's that Trey Hendrickson's a.

86
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 3: Little bit older, but productivity like productivity, they're about the same.

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: When you look at the numbers, you know, their their

88
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: per game values. Some people argue that Trey Hendrickson is

89
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: not as good against the run, what whatever, But yeah,

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: it does feel like they were like, you know what,

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: maybe we could get something done with Trey Hendrickson. And

92
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: we haven't signed on the dotted line yet for this trade,

93
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: and if we could just keep that fourteenth overall pick

94
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: is looking nice. We could just upgrade at the offensive

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: line there and go get ourselves a new center. And yeah,

96
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: we don't have to actually go through with this at

97
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: all and keep our word. We don't have to be

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: honest at all. We could just go back on the

99
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: deal and everybody's going to walk away happy. And that's

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: what it appears like it was. And then Eric DaCosta,

101
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: of course, yesterday the GM of the Baltimore Ravens, they

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: called a press conference and he talked about firstly, the

103
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: perception sort of the feeling that you and I have

104
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people have following the

105
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson signing and all that, that maybe things weren't

106
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: on the up and up and they didn't handle this

107
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: the right way. He talked about that and then also

108
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: said that, you know, the goal was not just Trey Hendrickson,

109
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: but also Max Crosby.

110
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: Things just didn't work out.

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand it, you know, I understand it.

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: We live in that age of skepticism and people question,

113
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: especially people that don't really know me or know the

114
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 5: Ravens culture and the Ravens organization. So I understand it.

115
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: As I said at the beginning, We've got a responsibility.

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 5: I've got a responsibility to the Ravens, to this community,

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 5: to our fans, and to Steve Bashatti to do what

118
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 5: we think is best for the club. That's what we

119
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 5: always try to do. Every decision we make is based

120
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: on this idea, is this the best thing for the Ravens.

121
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: Very very challenging. Again, I understand how people might maybe

122
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: from a far would feel that way, but nobody is

123
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 5: more upset about this than me. Guided by it actually,

124
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 5: and so I regret a big regret for me, but

125
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 5: we will move on as a football team, and I

126
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 5: think there's many, many opportunities for us to grow as

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 5: a team, to become a better team, to build a roster,

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 5: and to be the team that we want to be.

129
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: In terms of Trey, we came to a point probably

130
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 5: after we lost Tyler, where as we're trying to find

131
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: the best way for us to get better as a

132
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: football team, Trey kind of made a lot of sense

133
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 5: as a possible guy to look at. So we started

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 5: some discussions with he and his agent, thinking that potentially

135
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 5: we have two pass rushers on the defensive line on

136
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 5: both sides of the line. Again, I think it was

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 5: appointing to us and probably in a way, you know,

138
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 5: disappointing probably the Tray as well.

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: I just I love it. I gotta be honest with you.

140
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: I love the Everybody knows that I'm not telling the truth,

141
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: but I'm still going with it, like I'm just gonna go.

142
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: So what he's trying to say is one had nothing

143
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: to do with the other. The ultimate dream for them

144
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: was that they were going to have both of those guys,

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: that they were going to have Trey Hendrickson and Max Crosby.

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: Just coincidentally enough, once one fell through, the other one

147
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: got done and finalized.

148
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 4: That's really what he's trying to say.

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Sure, and because they've got the cap space and the

150
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: money to be able to pay one guy. What was

151
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: the deal for Crosby About one hundred and sixteen million

152
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: in total, Yeah, thirty five and a half per year,

153
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: and then turn around inside Trey Hendrickson for thirty years.

154
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens all the time in the NFL. Yeah,

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: you know, money grows on trees.

156
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Were fine, no big deal, there's not a salary cap

157
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: or something like that would have to navigate. So, yeah,

158
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: of course they were trying to get both these guys.

159
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Eric Dicostmus think everyone's stupid. He really, he

160
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: really must think everyone stupid. If we're supposed to buy

161
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: in the fact they're going to sign both these guys

162
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: for about two hundred and thirty million dollars this offseason, Like,

163
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: let's let's get real. That was never the plan. Trey

164
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Hendrickson was probably the other option. They realized that they

165
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: could get him for a little bit cheaper, wouldn't have

166
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: to spend the draft capital, and they would still use him,

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: as you said, either in a center or on another

168
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: edge rusher like if that was your strategy, you could

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: probably get cash as hall ket out of text CNM,

170
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and you could have an older veteran guy who's bringing

171
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: along the younger veteran, you know, younger rookie, and then

172
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: you've got your two edge rushers that you're looking for.

173
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: So even if that was the strategy, it doesn't make.

174
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: Sense the whole thing.

175
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: It's just the idea that you think that that would

176
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: pass that that that would be the one that would

177
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: get through. It's like somebody walking through TSA and they've

178
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 3: got it. They've it's the three point four limit and

179
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: they're walking through with like a forty and it's like, dude,

180
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: you can't get through security with that. And they just

181
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: with a straight face they try and pass on through

182
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: and no, no, no, we're good. Here, it's in the brown bag.

183
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: We're fine. Everything's fine. This is a you problem, not

184
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: a me problem. Eric Tacosta trying to sell everybody. No, no, no, listen,

185
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: this is the story. This is going to pass right

186
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: by you, and everybody's going to buy into it. No man,

187
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 3: Like otherwise, the deal with Trey Hendrickson would have already

188
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: been done if one had nothing to do with the other.

189
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 3: Then why did one happen right after the other one

190
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: fell through? It's like, that's that's the part that I

191
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: just look at and go, all right, I guess everybody's stupid.

192
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: And then you know, yesterday we kind of made a

193
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 3: joke about you know, I think it was your guy

194
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: Jason lockinfirma lock and fora who was reporting that good

195
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: luck finding anybody that's gonna want to do a deal

196
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: with Baltimore and Eric Tacosta and then immediately Trey Hendrickson

197
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: gets a deal with.

198
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Well, when you make a career out of basically bashing

199
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: every Baltimore professional team, it's going to backfire and a

200
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: lot of conform. Hopefully he was able to confirm the

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: Treandrickson deal. It is a good job of that.

202
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole thing is hilarious, and I think it

203
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: also illustrates the fact that you know, it's a cold

204
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: hearted business. I don't know that this is going to

205
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: have the lasting we can't trust you impact that maybe

206
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: he was trying to pass along and that maybe some

207
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: people feel like I really do think that ultimately in

208
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: about two three weeks, there'll be jokes there. We'll make

209
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: a bunch of jokes about it, but nobody's gonna care.

210
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: It's just gonna be, yeah, business as usual. It's the NFL,

211
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: and everybody goes back and they're happy.

212
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: I think what Eric Tacosta is trying to protect is

213
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the team's power and their ability to move on from

214
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: deals or players in this situation and not have the

215
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: NFLPA throw a fuss about this. And again, the NFLPA

216
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: is not a great spot. They're obviously, as far as

217
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: a leadership standpoint, still trying to figure things out.

218
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: And that's what they do.

219
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: They don't want to draw attention to this because if

220
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: they do, then then all of a sudden, you're gonna

221
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of other players with grievances saying, well,

222
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: wait a second, you know you sign these guys. They

223
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: had these injuries that wasn't an issue, But all of

224
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, with Max Crosby, it's you know, his knee

225
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: that you full well knew for probably months while you

226
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: were putting together this trade deal.

227
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: What was going on. You just didn't have imaging to it.

228
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: And once you got it, your doctor said he's okay

229
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the short term, but not the long term. I mean,

230
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: the explanation around it Stephen Flimsy, it doesn't really follow

231
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: your hand in hand with what was said. So again,

232
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: this is all in an effort to protect the team's

233
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: ability to do exactly what the Baltimore Ravens did get

234
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: out of a deal by using the excuse of the

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: medical and then go find a guy and Tre Hendrickson.

236
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: So look, Trey Hendrickson gets the opportunity. As you mentioned earlier,

237
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: he knows the division, he knows the Bengals, he knows

238
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: that there's there's a value in that too, and again,

239
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: not having to give up draft capital getting that back

240
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: allows them to build back through the draft, which they've

241
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: been really good at. I mean that is the majority

242
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: of how the Baltimore Ravens have built the roster. So

243
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: it kind of fits more. I think of what they're

244
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: looking to accomplish, say, save draft capital and you save

245
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of money too, and it works out

246
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: for everyone in the end.

247
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: Now, Max Crosby did post to his x account yesterday.

248
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: I saw that.

249
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a little bit of vengeance a

250
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: little bit? I mean, now it feels like it's personal

251
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: what's happened with Baltimore.

252
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least based on well do you want to

253
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: describe what he put out there on social.

254
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: This from Max Crosby, and I'll just read it as

255
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: the way Max Crosby probably thought it instead, based on

256
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: the way if you've heard Max, you know talk.

257
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: And you have to do the impression too.

258
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear,

259
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: and half of what you see. I'm a Raider, I'm

260
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: back run that s And then he's got an eagle

261
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: emoji and a pirate emoji, and then he's got the

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: young Undertaker walking out of a flaming casket gift. So

263
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: apparently we're just gonna forget about all of the stuff

264
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: that has happened. All of that is forgiven the out

265
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: and out tank job they went through at the end

266
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 3: of last year, all of the stuff that was said

267
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: back and forth, the bad handlings and the reports and

268
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 3: the I'm not happy and I.

269
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: Want to go.

270
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: We're just gonna forget all about that stuff. And Eric

271
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: DaCosta and the Ravens have now convinced that not everything

272
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: is greener on the other side. And Max Crosby's back

273
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas with the Raiders. We're all good here.

274
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: Everybody's far see I was fooled into believing. And this

275
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: is where social media gets you.

276
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: I just saw a plate of Skyline Chile on one

277
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: of the fake posts that he had, so I was like, oh, interesting,

278
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he's making a message to Cincinnati, saying, all right, well,

279
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: Chay Hendrickson goes to Baltimore. Maybe now the Baltimore shunned

280
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: shun Max Crosby he wants to go to Cincinnati, and

281
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: and he's portraying that with a bowl of Skyline Chile.

282
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what a what a disaster.

283
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: I don't think do they play? Do the Raiders play

284
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: the Ravens next year? What's the what are the Raiders

285
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: apparent that would be for?

286
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, twenty twenty six opponents. Yeah, let's see what

287
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: we got here, Raiders twenty twenty six opponents. Obviously you

288
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: get your divisional opponents.

289
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: They do not.

290
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's unfortunate. Yeah, I really missed a golden opportunity there.

291
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: But hey, that's one of those if you think the

292
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: NFL is scripted, the NFL would have found a way

293
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: to make that happen.

294
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: I mean, they are scheduled to play the Ravens in

295
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven, So if we could hold some grievances

296
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: and grudges until twenty twenty seven. This whole thing could

297
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: come full circle and we could really really make things

298
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: happen here. But that is that is the story on

299
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: the Trey Hendrickson Eric Decas to Max Crosby fiasco. And

300
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think Trey Hendrickson is going

301
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: to apologize for getting the deal he got. It's not

302
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: his problem. I mean, you sign what you sign, and

303
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: he's been looking for that deal for a while and

304
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: now he's going to stay in the division and get

305
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: after Joe Burrow for the next couple of years.

306
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: So it's a bit surprising with his age. I mean,

307
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: that's the one thing I look at and say, like

308
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: for again, this goes back to the Cincinnati Bengals organization

309
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: not ever really wanting to give him this sort of deal,

310
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: but now the Ravens are willing to at what they're

311
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: thirty one years old. I mean, edge rushers have been

312
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: able to play in the league, you know, much much

313
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: longer than I think what they used to, especially as

314
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: the league has become more of a passing league.

315
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: So that does play to his advantage.

316
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: But it's just interesting he had to go within the

317
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: division to find an organization to pay him what he wanted.

318
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: For all those Bengals fans out there who keep trying

319
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: to tell me your organization is not cheap, just one

320
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: more example, just one more example of that. All right,

321
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: don't blame me, all right, I'm just the messenger. You

322
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: don't need to shoot the messenger for blaming the Bengals

323
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: for being cheap and letting one of your best defensive

324
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: players walk right out the door. Okay, a guy who

325

Speaker 2: Hey, maybe they're pretty good at baseball. Huh I did?

401
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 2: I did see it?

402
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: Lists though, where all the uh the Italian players were born?

403
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: Like half are from the Midwest, I think one or

404
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: two and went from Florida, went from Cali. It was like,

405
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are we doing here? I'm still is

406
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: there any I'm gonna look this up because I want

407
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: to know one of the specifics to how you decide

408
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: whether or not you can play for the Italian team.

409
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the percentage cutoff? Like if you're at you know,

410
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 3: is it like twenty four and a half. Above twenty

411
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: four and a half percent are you are you considered

412
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: qualified to play for that country? Because yeah, a lot

413
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: of these guys, I mean, like Francisco Cervelli, who's the

414
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 3: manager of Team Italy.

415
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: He was he was making the comment, you know that

416
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: our goal is you.

417
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: Know that we helped grow the sport in Italy and

418
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: that you know, sooner rather than later, it's Italians who

419
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 3: were born and raised in Italy that are playing in

420
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: this event.

421
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Moving forward, Okay, okay, so key eligibility criteria for Team Italy.

422
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: The player holds a valid Italian passport. So let me

423
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: just stop there for a second.

424
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 9: As I said before, we were joking about this, and

425
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 9: I don't know if I've told you this or not,

426
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 9: but my father in law was working on this to

427
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 9: try to get my wife and my.

428
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: Brother in law an Italian passport and you know whatever,

429
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: like their dual citizenship, and he was very intent on

430
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: doing this. Now I do think he got fooled by

431
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: some online ad or like a social media ad to

432
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: think this is much easier than it actually was, because

433
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he spent a good amount of money

434
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: on it, and I'm not sure he was ever able

435
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: to see it through.

436
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: So I'm pretty sure my father in law got scammed.

437
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: But a player must hold a valid Italian passport, which

438
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: is possible and not, I guess, not as easy as

439
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: you think, but also.

440
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: Maybe not as difficult it was it was for my

441
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: father in law.

442
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: There must be parental heritage, so at least one parent

443
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: has to be born in Italy or was an Italian citizen,

444
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: and then the player can provide documentation that they would

445
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: be granted a Talian citizenship or a passport.

446
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: If they applied. So this is this is where it

447
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: gets a little bit in the gray area. Okay, so

448
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: maybe they just got a nice eie over there, someone

449
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: to set him a letter that says, yeah, yeah, yeah,

450
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: well of course we'd give him a passport.

451
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: Now, how many of those guys you think actually end

452
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: up getting the passport?

453
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 4: After all, this is over in.

454
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: The middle of the season, and I feel like, you know,

455
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: some guys might might not follow up on that, by

456
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 3: the way, Francisco Cervelli born in Venezuela, so he can

457
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: go a lot of different directions here, like he could

458
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: basically pick and choose where he wants to manage moving

459
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: forward in the WBC. So if you're a Venezuelan team,

460
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: just know you've.

461
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 4: Got somebody there who does meet the criteria.

462
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: So just an example, and this goes back to the

463
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three team okay, that had twenty one members

464
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: that were US born on it. So the last thing

465
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: I'd say too is if the player previously played for

466
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Italy in a prior WBC tournament, they also can can

467
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: qualify again. So even if some of those potentially change

468
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: some of these eligibility rules, as long as they were

469
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: Grandfather claused in they're good now.

470
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 4: Vinnie Pasquentino, who at the three home runs, he's by

471
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: the way, he's a first base in DH for the

472
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 4: Kansas City Royals.

473
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: He spoke with John pal Morosi. John Palmer ROSI was

474
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: really fired up about the items.

475
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Should be fired up. Yeah, he would probably playing for

476
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: by the way.

477
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: For people that are not familiar, John palm Morosi once

478
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: called into this show and spoke Italian on the air,

479
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: So that was that happened a couple of years back.

480
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: But here when we get John Paulton, can we just

481
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: get him on to talk about.

482
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like anything anything Italian soccer now the World

00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: fun get and he'll represent the country nicely. And he's

485
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: also one of these guys like Sirbelli that could just

486
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: go a bunch of different directions here. But John Paul

487
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: Morosi was catching up with Vinnie Pascuentino and it sounded

488
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: like this post.

489
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 8: Game, I'm caffeinated, I'm beamed up right now.

490
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're in a good spot.

491
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: So how many more boxes of those espresso pods are

492
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: now on order?

493
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 8: As many as we need, as many as we need,

Speaker 8: over at your hotel. We were thinking of you guys.

497
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 8: So glad you guys could join us.

498
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: In the party.

00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 4: So there a they're all being down with camaraderie.

500
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 3: Huh, yeah, I guess because Bobby Wood Junior is this

501
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: teammate who, by the way, if anybody's never seen Bobby

502
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: Wood Junior play guys a stud and and so he

503
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: was joking, Yeah, I hope he.

504
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 4: Leaves the leaves me a hotel room key because they're

505
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 4: you know, they're buddies, putting the royals together.

506
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's and then you know he's talking about

507
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: you know, I'm all beamed up. I thought, in watching

508
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: a few of those guys in the dugout that they

509
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: were faking the espresso shots? Okay are they Are they

510
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: taking actual espresso shots after everything?

511
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: Not shots? You don't shoot an espresso.

512
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

513
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: You drink it like anything else. I don't know, faking it.

514
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: I think they're shooting it.

515
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: Dude, have you not had espresso before?

516
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: Of course I'm having it right now. No, you're drinking

517
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: coffee with espresso in it. Okay, you need to look

518
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: up the process of how it's made. Okay, but then

519
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: you'll better understand.

520
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you, I think those guys are are

521
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: shooting espresso.

522
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

523
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 10: When I got here tonight, Monsie was still here doing

524
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 10: her updates, and she offered me the rest of her espresso.

525
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 10: She said, I got this for the Italians because every

526
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 10: time that they make a whatever.

527
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: The game was, it's a home run.

528
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, you take a you take a shot of espresso.

529
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 10: So she was doing that all night, so she ain't sleeping.

530
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to shoot something that's hot.

531
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: I don't know. It looked like they were shooting it.

532
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 3: You you'd love them to be shooting anything. Well, well

533
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: here's because here's the move. All right, So here's the move.

534
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: And I was unaware of this until I did it

535
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: the first time because I thought, like, who would want

536
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: coffee after you have a full meal?

537
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 4: But the whole coffee answer? Yeah, it helps you completely.

538
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 3: Settles your stomach and well yeah, well look and then

539
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: you got to deal with the repercussions afterwards. But you

540
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 3: know that's a small price to pay. And so what

541
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: I do is I'll let it sit there for about

542
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: two to three minutes and then wof just rip it.

543
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to mainline it. If that if

544
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: we're doing this, we're doing this.

545
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: You have no class, jonas somebody class whatsoever. You're the

546
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: type of guy that it's French fries with this chicken

547
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: parm have I Yeah, I've had off for got it?

548
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 10: Those are so good? Are you classy? Enough for one

549
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 10: of those jonas. What an awful.

550
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 4: Gato an avocado to the joke. Gosh, darn it, I

551
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: steal your thunder there, Patty. I was about to say,

552
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 4: I'm stupid. That's right down right down his alley.

553
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: But now that it did help the US, all right,

554
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 3: So the US will advance now and uh and and

555
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: they are often running here. Now the schedule is such

556
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: to where now you've got to win, all right. Now,

557
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: there's no more helping out. You've got you've got to win,

558
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: you if you'd like to advance. This is uh, this

559
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: is really coming down to it. So we are going

560
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: to get the US and Canada Friday night, eight pm

561
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: Eastern time on we.

562
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: Just can't help ourselves.

563
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 4: Ourselves.

564
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 3: They did like they're really trying to divide the US

565
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: and Canada. But eight pm Eastern time on Friday night,

566
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: on fixing.

567
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: This, It's going to be My kids went to a

568
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 1: women's soccer match at the Columbus Cruse Stadium. He went

569
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: to see the US women's national team take on the

570
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: Canadian women's national team, which the USA got the.

571
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: Better of that as well.

572
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: So the USA has got a nice little streak right now,

573
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: dominating Canada. I'm sorry to all my Canadian friends out there,

574
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: but that's just the way it is.

575
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 2: You know, these are just facts right now.

576
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: US, by the way, is currently on DraftKings minus eight

577
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 3: hundred to win that game, so they're an eight to

578
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: one favorite to be.

579
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: Canada, which which means you're probably bet Canada, aren't you.

580
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if I can get you know, if I

581
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: can get plus money like that, Like, I love being American.

582
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: I love the US, but you know, hey, wins A wins,

583
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: The US is favored to win. The Dominican Republic is

584
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: currently second. You've got Japan and then Venezuela there as

585
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: well too, So I don't know if you've watched Fernando

586
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: Tatish and those guys ripping, but he talked to Patrick

587
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: about the celebrations going on there.

588
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: Well the time that was that was though when he

589
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 2: referenced it.

590
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I think that was Puerto Rico I was talking about, Yeah,

591
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: which that was so funny. As soon as as soon

592
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: as you watch the clip, you're like, yeah, this does

593
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: seem a little bit excessive, but this is what makes

594
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: it fun.

595
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I would say this the momentum.

596
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Coming off of the Olympics for hockey, it has helped

597
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: I think in viewership that's been a little bit proven,

598
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: but also just that's the interest, the intrigue around it.

599
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: And I think as a parent now more than ever,

600
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm always looking at the impact that it has on kids,

601
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: Like when kids come home and they're talking about it,

602
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: when kids, you know, start talking about different sports they

603
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: want to play, or you have some of their friends

604
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: over are driving carpool and like the kids are saying like, Oh,

605
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 1: I want to do this, and I try this. This

606
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,239
Speaker 1: looks so cool. I'm thinking to myself, like back when

607
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: I was young, you know, we didn't have stuff like this.

608
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how long the World Baseball

609
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Classic has been around. Like I love baseball just because

610
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: that was what my dad first taught me to play.

611
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: You know, I was playing t ball, throwing a baseball around,

612
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: and it kind of led to other sports, but that

613
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: was my dad loved. My dad loved baseball, and that's

614
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: how things started. The Reds were good back when I

615
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: was probably what nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one. The Indians

616
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: were good after that, and so it kind of it

617
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: kept you engaged into the sport because you were falling

618
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: teams that were playing the World Series, or at least,

619
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: in the Reds case, against the winning World Series.

620
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

621
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see the impact this will have on

622
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: baseball in general, because even though it does feel a

623
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: little bit manufactured, with you know, half the team or

624
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: however many players being born in the US, I do.

625
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: Think that's a lot of fun.

626
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: It's cool to see players and teams kind of represent

627
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: their heritage, albeit maybe not as you know, close to

628
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: the you know, their family or relatives, as one may think,

629
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: it's still fun to see what that looks like.

630
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: I also think, and this might be a little hokey

631
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: and maybe a little naive to think that people could

632
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: set aside some differences, but as we've seen, you know,

633
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: people in this country can't really get along for the

634
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: most part.

635
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: Everybody's got a disagreement.

636
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: Everybody's got a gripe, whether it's political, whether it's the vaccines, whatever, Like,

637
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 3: everybody's got you're this and you're wrong, and I'm right,

638
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: and there's no common ground. And it does feel like

639
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: stuff like this is at least where you can put

640
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: all that garbage away and you could just root for

641
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: the country like they're not like nobody cares, who believes

642
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: in what? Who's voting for what? You just want to

643
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: root for the country. And I think that's why a

644
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: lot of people got annoyed with some of the questions

645
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: from some of the media to the American athletes at

646
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: the Olympics, because it's like, dude, we're at the Olympics.

647
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: Why are we bringing this stuff up here? Like why

648
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: are you pointing out the flaws of the country. How

649
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: about we just celebrate athletes who are trying to win

650
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: gold for the country and just root for them. And

651
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: I think the hockey teams, men's and women's did that.

652
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: And I think the further the US goes, I think

653
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: the more fun it is for people to watch, because

654
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: when you look at that crowd, you see fans of

655
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: all different teams just rooting for the US. They couldn't

656
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: care less that arrival from another from the same division

657
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: of the team that they root for. You just got

658
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 3: a base hit in an RBI, They don't care. They

659
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: just want the US to win.

660
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, Which actually begs the question, Listen, are you

661
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: into video games? I mean who isn't, well, look, celebrities

662
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: or just a good time.

663
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,600

670
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm just glad we now were able to get Neo

671
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: into that read so at least we could do. And

672
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: some people I love I do too. I actually heard

673
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: a song that might be my next song.

674
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: Who wouldn't know who Neo is?

675
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Probably someone who's not a big fan of his music.

676
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know why

708
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: rocking and rolling here on this Thursday morning. All sorts

709
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 3: of NFL conversation to be had. We talked about the

710
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: WBC Team Italy gets it done with a bunch of

711
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: guys from America. You have espresso, and they had a

712
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: bunch of guys from America who can apparently somewhat claim

713
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 3: that they're Italian and nonetheless they are celebrating somewhere in

714
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: Italy that the baseball's bag And I do wonder though,

715
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: if this does spark maybe kids in Italy wanting to

716
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: play a little more baseball. I do wonder if this

717
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 3: stuff helps, because the Dream Team helped, you know, when

718
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: they saw, you know, some of those guys play internationally.

719
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 4: I think that helped.

720
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: With the NBA.

721
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't necessarily call Team Italy the Dream Team, but

722
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 3: I do wonder if maybe there's a couple of more

723
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 3: kids who were like, you know what, I don't want

724
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: to play soccer today, give me a bat and a ball.

725
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: Petro said it yesterday, like do we even know if

726
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: they're aware this is going.

727
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: On in Italy.

728
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: It feels like more of an American derived sport here.

729
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's America's pastime.

730
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, even though the World

731
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic seems like it's something we came up with.

732
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: Are we aware they know what's going on?

733
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: Like, is there any live shots over in Italy while

734
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: the games are going?

735
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 4: I don't believe. So my buddy Romeo, you know about

736
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: just it's just a complete and total scumback.

737
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: But he also not Italian. I mean he's Italian heritage,

738
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: but he's born in the US.

739
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he is.

740
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I've got a ton of Italian, Like

741
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: I'm more in an Italian jacket right now. He got

742
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: me like he just basically because he knows I'll just

743
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 3: wear it because it's free, nice jacket, and so he

744
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: thank you. So he throws all this stuff at me.

745
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 3: And I was talking to him yesterday because it was

746
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: a birthday and I said, hey, man, team Italy goes.

747
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't even know they were playing. I had

748
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: no idea exactly, I had no idea.

749
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: But I'll go watch, you know, the end of the

750
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: Italy Mexico game. So, but congrats they're onto the next round.

751
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 3: So it is the US. The WBC has been fun,

Speaker 3: and congratulations to Daniel Jones who gets paid again. And

753
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 3: I don't know what the career totals are going to

754
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 3: look like when it's all said and done, but not bad.

755
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones agrees to a two year, eighty eight million

756
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,920

00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: the NFL for as much.

779
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: Money as he's made for it one one playoff win

780
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: whatever it.

781
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: Is, Yeah, which usually people you know, attribute like a

782
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: playoff with with how much guys are getting paid, which

783
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: is it's not the case, but it's pretty wild. I mean,

784
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: I think Cousins has made over with three hundred million

785
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Daniel Jones is following close behind. This

786
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: contract will put him somewhere in the ballpark of total

787
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: career earnings. If he's able to earn out. You know

788
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: what is slated in this contract, two hundred and fifty

789
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: eight million league. He's already up to two fifty eight

790
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: after this with this, with this contract now guaranteed, wise

791
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: he'd be over two hundred million Jesus, which is kind

792
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: of wild to think about because outside of his rookie

793
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: year and then you'd say half of last season, and

794
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: maybe you'd say there was a decent year in there

795
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: too where he was able to get the Giants to re.

796
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: Up him, then that's been it. I mean, he has

797
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: been able to time eight.

798
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: He's been able to timely play well enough to get

799
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: paid every single time. And I don't know if we

800
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: started listing off starting quarterbacks in the NFL, I honestly

801
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: don't know if he'd be considering in the top half

802
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: of the league.

803
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: You want to play if you want to go through

804
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 3: a list, I'm in Okay, all right, let's do it,

805
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 3: all right, So I'll give you a quarterback. You tell

806
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: me if you take them over Daniel Jones. Do we

807
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 3: have any game show music here? We've got a live

808
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 3: studio band. No stone unturned here expence wise, on this show,

809
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 3: we basically took Levar's salary and we put it towards

810
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 3: a band for the three days here in studio with

811
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: him out. All right, So Josh Allen, Josh Allen or

812
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: Daniel of course.

813
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: Not I mean Josh Allen over him?

814
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Malik Willis brand new quarterback for the Dolphins, or

815
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones.

816
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: Well, let's do this.

817
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: Let's go based on twenty twenty five, because we don't

818
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen twenty twenty six.

819
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 4: Okay, So Tua or Daniel Jones.

820
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: I mean I think two has been more productive, hasn't he?

821
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? In order to get a tally because you're not

822
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: going out about this in the right way. Can we

823
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: get like some of the guys, because you're really going

824
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: on a haphazard way. Let's get some of the top

825
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: guys out of the way. So you're not gonna say Mahomes.

826
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: You're not gonna say Allen, You're not gonna say Matt

827
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: Stafford Fair. Yeah, looka Dak Prescott, Drake May, Trevor Lawrence.

828
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, Justin Herbert Baker.

829
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: Maybe, like I'm not gonna take him over any of

830
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: these guys, right, that's Jordan Love, not gonna take him

831
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: over him. Aaron Rodgers wouldn't take him over him, Jalen Hurts,

832
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: not gonna take him over him.

833
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: C J.

834
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: Stroud, I wouldn't take him over. I wouldnt take Daniel

835
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Jones over c J.

836
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: Stroud.

837
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: So like what Jared Goff, I'd take Jared Goff over

838
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: at Daniel Jones, Drake May, I'd take Drake May over

839
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: at Daniel Jones. I'd take Sam Darnoald over Daniel Jones.

840
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Like we're getting to the point where we're now probably

841
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: somewhere and.

842
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 4: You're a you're at fifteen, right, there there you go.

843
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lamar Jackson didn't even say him. I wouldn't obviously

844
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: take you know, so there's sixteen. So now we're in

845
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: the bottom half of the league. So now you can

846
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: go on with your list.

847
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 3: You said what Tua, Well, I mean there's no not

848
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 3: even a need to do it now. I mean because

849
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: I think that because if you look at it too,

850
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: I can understand the argument because people look at the

851
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: low lights for Tua, but the highs for Tua have

852
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: been way higher than Daniel Jones.

853
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: I would also say that the lows are more injury

854
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, it's not like Daniel Jones hasn't

855
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: had awful games too. Like the concern with TWOA is

856
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: always just injury.

857
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 2: But when he.

858
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Plays, he usually plays decently well and he's usually able

859
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 1: to win. I mean, I would say this, let's be controversial.

860
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: I look at Gino Smith. Gino Smith has had better

861
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: seasons than Daniel Jones. Now everyone's going to look back

862
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: last year at Las Vegas. Yeah, all problem, Yeah the taste. Okay,

863
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: Well go put Daniel Jones on that team. See how

864
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: he performed.

865
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 3: No, I agree, I agree, And I think that when

866
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: you mentioned you know, he's twenty eight years old. He's

867
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 3: you know, when this deal is all said and done,

868
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 3: you know he'll be thirty, and you know he will have,

869
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: you know, potentially made two hundred and fifty something million dollars.

870
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: And it really just is a timing thing with him.

871
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 3: He was drafted high and you know, contract year, whatever

872
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: you want to call it, he ended up being on

873
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 3: teams where he had all the leverage. And even in

874
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 3: this one, and I know Pete Prisco was thrown out.

875
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: The idea, you know, go out and get Kyler Murray,

876
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 3: who reportedly is meeting with the Vikings later on today.

877
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 3: Go out and get Kyler Murray paying one point two

878
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: million or whatever the low number is, because you know,

879
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 3: Arizona's on the hook for the rest, and then let

880
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones walk. I just don't think Indianapolis wanted to

881
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 3: go through it again. They've gone through so many quarterbacks

882
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: since Andrew Luck left, like everything has been a stopgap quarterback.

883
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: They thought they had the answer here, They thought they

884
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 3: had the answer there. Anthony Richardson was brought in. They

885
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: used a high draft pick on him. That was a

886
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: complete disaster. They finally had some stability last year and

887
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: through the first half of the season, they're the best

888
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: team in the league, a really, really good team, and

889
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: then it got a little shaky, and then he got injured.

890
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 3: But I just think they look around and Daniel Jones

891
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: found himself in an advantageous situation again where timing wise,

892
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 3: everything lined up for him and he ends up getting

893
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 3: two years in eighty eight million coming off achille surgery.

894
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about it too, is he signed

895
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: the extension with the Giants in March of twenty twenty three.

896
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: That was when Brian Dabole was the head coach, and

897
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: I want to say they moved off from Jones after

898
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: that year. Is that correct?

899
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 9: Oh?

900
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because twenty twenty four he finished up.

901
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: Maybe it was the following year.

902
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: No, twenty twenty four he finished up in Minnesota. So

903
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 3: last year was with Indianapolis. So yeah, it was pretty quick. Yeah,

904
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 3: they pulled the plug pretty quick.

905
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 5: It was.

906
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 2: It was kind of a pretty quick plug.

907
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: And I feel like, just to compare the two situations,

908
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: the Giants were in a bit of, I want to say,

909
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: a dire spot, but obviously they moved on from Brian

910
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: Dables soon after that, and now you look at the

911
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Chris Ballard's got to win. I think Shane

912
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: Steichen feels like he has to win. And I feel

913
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: like this decision was born out of saying, he played

914
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: great the first half of the year. Yes, he's coming

915
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: off an injury, but what's our other option, Like, we

916
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: don't really have another option. We have to sign him

917
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: to this deal in order to give us a shot

918
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: of what we feel like we get built off of

919
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: last year and give us a shot to retain our

920
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: jobs because otherwise, like I mean, Ballard for sure, I

921
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: think is the one that's probably on the hot seat

922
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: if this doesn't work, because ultimately it's his decision. He's

923
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: the general manager. He's signing ding On Jones to this deal,

924
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: and he's the one who's built the roster. But if

925
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: you look at that track record too, that's been unfortunately

926
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: how it's worked out for teams that have been in

927
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: this position where they've extended Daniel Jones, usually it's ended

928
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: up in the head coach getting fired.

929
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: What is the because you've done games with the Colts,

930
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 3: what is the feedback of whether it's Stike In, whether

931
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 3: it's Chris Ballard. It does feel like Ballard's been there

932
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: a really long time, like's.

933
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: They have not won a division title since Chris Ballard's

934
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: been there. And I think that's what's kind of flown

935
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: under the radar is you know, ultimately you can point

936
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: to the coaches, you can point to the quarterbacks, but

937
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: there's also someone who's in charge.

938
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: Of the roster.

939
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: And this roster has at times had some players, but

940
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've ever said it's built up

941
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: to the point of some of the others, even within

942
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: the division, Like when you look at Houston's roster, you

943
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: look at Jacksonville's roster and the amount of talent first

944
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: round picks, it feels different when you compare the two.

945
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: So that's where I think there's a bit of a

946
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: frustration is the guy has been in the general manager

947
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: since he's taken over, they have yet to win a

948
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: division title, and they have yet to be able to

949
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: solve the quarterback spot.

950
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 2: So here's another opportunity.

951
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: A guy again played well for half the season last

952
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: year before getting hurt, and now they're investing back into it.

953
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm not saying that like this

954
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: isn't the right decision. It's just this has been the

955
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: history with Daniel Jones side of these deals with the

956
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: teams he's played for, and as we kind of laid out,

957
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: and maybe Colts fans will disagree, maybe you'd take him

958
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: over some of the quarterbacks that we had discussed and

959
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: talked about, but I wouldn't, you know. I think we've

960
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: seen enough now to kind of know where he's at.

961
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: And last year was a great example of right fit,

962
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: right environment with Shane Steichen and how that team operated.

963
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: But we also only saw for half the season. You know,

964
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: we don't know what that second half the season would

965
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: have been like, if they made it to the playoffs,

966
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: what that would have looked like. There's a lot of

967
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: big question marks still surrounding Daniel Jones. And look, maybe

968
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like Sam Darnold where he can now

969
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: use that opportunity for whatever he learned in Minnesota, similar

970
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: to Sam, where he's able to kind of take off now.

971
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: But it feels like that's what they're betting on an indie.

972
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: They're betting on that the first half we saw last year,

973
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: and we're going to see an entire season of that

974
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: then into the playoffs, and that, honestly might be what

975
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: they need to do in order for Chris Ballard to

976
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: remain as the general manager.

977
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 3: I just think it's it's risky from the standpoint of

978
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: not only the history of Daniel Jones, but he is

979
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 3: coming off that injury, and you know, he Kirk Cousins

980
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 3: didn't seem like and I know he's Kirk Cousins was

981
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: at an advanced age, but he didn't seem like he

982
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: was the same coming off that injury. Daniel Jones a

983
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 3: more mobile quarterback. I just wonder what that looks like,

984
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 3: you know, following the Achilles and and the stuff that

985
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 3: happened with him. And so that that's where I look

986
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 3: at this and go, all right, man, like a two

987
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 3: year deal, you're giving him a lot of money. He's got,

988
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: you know, the sixty million dollar injury guarantee and whatever

989
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: attached to it. But I don't know what if a

990
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 3: He's going to be fully ready to go when the

991
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 3: season opens, and then what that looks like for them,

992
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 3: Like maybe you're not gonna maybe that first half of

993
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: last season is the peak of Daniel Jones and and

994
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 3: this is just going to be a roll of the

995
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: dice and it might cost some people some jobs.

996
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: Two things.

997
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: I think to your point, there definitely is some concern

998
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: in looking at Cousins o their cousins was older, and

999
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: I think that injury is harder to come off of

1000
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, for a guy like him

1001
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: at that age. However, Cousins is a pocket passer. You know,

1002
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: He's the guy that when he drops back, he's not

1003
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: going to move off that spot. You know, he is

1004
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: your traditional pocket passer that every defense talks about. Move

1005
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: him off the spot, move him off the spot, because

1006
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be as accurate of a quarterback, and

1007
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: so he falls in that category. Daniel Jones is not.

1008
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is very athletic. He's very capable of impacting

1009
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: the game with his legs, which will make this not

1010
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: only is scheme interesting, but what the passing game looks

1011
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: like even off of that.

1012
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: You know, are they going to move the pocket with him?

1013
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: You know, how well is.

1014
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: He going to move, you know, getting in and out

1015
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: of the pocket. So there's a number of things that

1016
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: I think it could potentially change, and it may take

1017
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: some time before he feels confident and comfortable with it.

1018
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 2: You know.

1019
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: One of the hardest things I think about a non

1020
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: contact injury. And that was what Daniel Jones suffered, is

1021
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't like from a hit. You don't have to

1022
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: blame it on the way a guy landed on you

1023
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: where you felt something else. You lose confidence in your

1024
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: body's ability to respond. And that's a scary thing for

1025
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: an athlete because every time you run out there, you

1026
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: feel like that freak accident could happen again, and you

1027
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: don't know how to necessarily prepare your body to avoid that.

1028
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: You've got just all these questions running in your mind,

1029
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: wondering like when's the next time it's gonna happen. So

1030
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a mental hurder for sure for him

1031
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: to get over. There's gonna be a manner in which

1032
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: they're going to try to implement him back into the offense,

1033
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: and we'll see what that looks like.

1034
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: But I look at this.

1035
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: And just say he's a little bit younger, so that

1036
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: plays to his advantage. But Kirk Cousins would have told you,

1037
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: and I think the coaching staff there in Atlanta, you know,

1038
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: said as well, he really his first year back from

1039
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: it was not one hundred percent, you know, couldn't really

1040
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: step in and get into throws a much didn't feel

1041
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: as comfortable with it and has showed in his play

1042
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: now you know, coming in this past season, different story.

1043
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: But again that's going to be the concern for Daniel

1044
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: Jones is they're paying him to be the guy. And

1045
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to say make or break year, but

1046
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: let's just call it a big year for Chris Ballard

1047
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: and Coe, and I'm not sure he's going to be

1048
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: the same player physically. You know, that's a legit concern.

1049
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 3: By the way, I was looking back at since Andrew

1050
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 3: Luck retired, a different quarterback has led the Colts and

1051
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 3: touchdown passes every single year. So you had Jacoby Brissette,

1052
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan Gardner, Minshew, Joe Flacco,

1053
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 3: and then Daniel Jones. So it's literally been a revolving door.

1054
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 3: And I get to I had to be honest with you, man,

1055
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz his year in twenty twenty one was way

1056
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 3: better than what I remembered it like that was a

1057
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 3: you know, he threw for over thirty five hundred yards,

1058
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 3: twenty seven touchdowns, seven interceptions, and I think what marred

1059
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 3: that season for Carson and Wentz and you and I

1060
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 3: were working together at that time. That was when the

1061
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 3: Colts needed to beat Jacksonville right the final week of

1062
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 3: the season, and the fans dressed up as clowns. They

1063
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 3: had a clown out because that was the year they

1064
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 3: fired urban Meyer with a couple of games left and

1065
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 3: the Colts went in there were favorites and lost, and

1066
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 3: I think that marred how everybody viewed Carson Wentz's time

1067
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 3: there with Indianapolis. But if you actually look back the numbers,

1068
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 3: he wasn't bad.

1069
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: Well, the issue really came down to this. You were

1070
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: so hard on him for having that thing on the

1071
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: back of his neck.

1072
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 4: Oh, that was just repulsive.

1073
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that was and it was know if it was

1074
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: just an ingrown hair of what was going on, but

1075
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: you could not get over it.

1076
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: You kept talking about it the entire season.

1077
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 3: Like the back of his neck looked like the surface

1078
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 3: of Mars. He had he had these like either ingrown

1079
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 3: hairs or pimples or I don't know, if his helmet

1080
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 3: was riding low and it was just agitating his skin.

1081
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 3: But the guy had just ZiT brail from outer space

1082
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 3: all over the back of his neck. And they would

1083
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 3: just do these close ups on you know, Carson Carson

1084
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 3: Wentz recovering from whatever injury it was, and they're doing

1085
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: this close up on him and it's like, you know,

1086
