3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: a good Memorial Day weekend. I haven't talked into this

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: a lot of news and notes going on around the league.

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: I haven't spoke since Ersa died. A couple of quick

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: thoughts there, league lost a big, big personality obviously, and

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: a couple of college football things USC Notre Dame. Is

44
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: wanted to start with Jim Ursay, who passed away last

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: week at sixty five years old. Obviously, when you looked

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: at him, I was honestly blown away that he was

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: that young. I mean, sixty five is not old. In

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, he I think had been really struggling.

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: There were some pictures not this owner's meetings, but a

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: previous one with him on a wheelchair. He'd clearly been

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: pretty sick over recent times, and his daughters have taken

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: over the team. But I can't speak to him as

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: an individual. I never met the guy, but I do

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: think he represented a group of people that just aren't

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: gonna be around very soon in the near future. And

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: you could argue they're not really around anymore. We have

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: a couple, really, we just have one big personality left.

58
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: And whenever Jerry goes, there is going to be an

59
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: identity in the NFL that I just gonna be missing. Now,

60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: maybe it won't matter because the league is so popular,

61
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: but you guys know where I stand when it comes

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: to professional sports. First and foremost, it's an entertainment product,

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: and it's become reality television, and for most of my life,

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,559
Speaker 1: especially when I was growing up. Owners were massive characters

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: in the reality show that was Pro Sports, And you know,

66
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: if you grew up Eddie de barbelow Al Davis, I'd

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: say the biggest one of my lifetime was George Steinbrenner

68
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: owning the Yankees, and these guys were just massive personalities.

69
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: They were as famous as the coach, as the GM

70
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: sometimes they were the GM, and as equals to the players,

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: and they let you be known. They basically did what

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones does, gives his opinion on anything at all times.

73
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Not afraid zero f's given twenty four to seven, three

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: sixty five. But in twenty twenty five, with the evaluations

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: of these teams, think about some of the big personalities

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: we have in the NFL. Now, you don't really hear

77
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: from them, Like it's like, well, the Brown's doing crazy shit.

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: With Jimmy Haslin, I never hear him talk. I never

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: hear him say a peep. I mean, honestly, if I

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: had to guess how many times he like addresses the

81
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: media year, I'd say it's under three. David Tepper, who

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: has led a pretty crazy first several years as the

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: owner of the Panthers, firing people left and right, crazy

84
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: articles coming out about him all the time. If I

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: want to hear David Tepper talk, I am more likely

86
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: to watch him on CNBC than I am to see

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: him do a sit down with like Adam Schefter. Like

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: those days are these guys don't speak, you know why,

89
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: because there's too much online. It doesn't even behoove them

90
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: to say a peep. Jerry Jones is a complete outlier.

91
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: And to me, Jim Irsay and Pat McAfee gave a good,

92
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: kind of a good talk on Friday about the impact

93
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: that Ersay had on him and how when Pac first

94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: got on Twitter, how Ersay was so intrigued and he

95
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: got on and it's just like we don't really get

96
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: that anymore, and that makes me sad. Also some reading,

97
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know that much about him that he became

98
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the general manager of the team at twenty four years old.

99
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: There really was something special about pro sports in like

100
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: the seventies and the eighties. It was nowhere near the

101
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: business vehicle that it was now. Can you imagine if

102
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: in the NFL an owner just made his son the

103
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: GM at twenty four years old. Even if behind the

104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: scenes some of this stuff is kind of going on.

105
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: Kids have a lot of pull. Kids impact their father

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: and tell them who to draft. You know, the kid

107
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: has a huge influence on the coach and the GM.

108
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure it happens. You would be naive to think

109
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But none of these owners are just being like, yeah,

110
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: my son is going to be the GM of the team.

111
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: And that's what happened with jim Irsay in the early eighties,

112
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: and that there was just something, I don't know, kind

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: of chaotic but also very very interesting. Now, Luckily, I

114
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: think because we have so many young gms and the

115
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: money so big that we get way more transactions and

116
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: crazy trades. That has kind of been an additive to

117
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the sport. But the day and age of Al Davis

118
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: getting in front of the media with an overhead projector

119
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: reading him the letter that he sent Lane Kiffen why

120
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: he fired him for cause are just done, like, we

121
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: don't get that anymore. And I think jim Irsay was

122
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: kind of viewed as a crazy character. Obviously, he did

123
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: a lot of good things behind the scenes in terms

124
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: of giving back, and that's been well documented over the

125
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: last four or five years. But when you just said

126
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 1: the words Jim ersay to me, I thought, like big

127
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: personality and a guy who you know, when he really

128
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: had his fastball, didn't give a shit and just wasn't

129
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: afraid to just say what was on his mind, right

130
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: or wrong. And you don't have to agree with everything

131
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: that is that he did over the years when it

132
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: came to his football team if you're a Colts fan,

133
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: but at least you appreciate it like he wasn't scared.

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: It didn't ever felt like he was really hiding. Maybe

135
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: it felt like that over the last couple of years

136
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: as he got I would say old fast. But I

137
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: think we just miss these type guys that were part

138
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: of a league. And I read a good article like

139
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: this guy came up with his dad in a league

140
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: that does not parallel what we are going through right

141
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: now with salary cap of almost three hundred million dollars,

142
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: with these crazy television deals. Like these owners did not

143
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: have close to the money and definitely not the revenue

144
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: streams back in the day, and that led to them

145
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: I think not really give it a shit, and I'm

146
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna miss that. I'm a sucker for that. Like Jerry Jones,

147
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: who knows how much longer we have of him. Now

148
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: you could argue he's a little overkilled because he talks

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: so much. But at least he's willing to say some shit,

150
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, because most of these owners do not say

151
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: a peep, no matter how crazy the stuff they do.

152
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: So you know, I'll think of Jim Irsay, listen, when

153
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning went there, I became a big Colts fan.

154
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: I rooted for them. I really wanted them to beat

155
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots when I was in high school and in college,

156
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: and they never could until finally that game in six.

157
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: He does have to get credit because for a guy

158
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: that became the GM hired Bill Pollian, who's a Hall

159
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: of Fame GM who obviously went on to draft Peyton

160
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Manning and build the team that was in the two

161
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: thousands easily I would say, the second best team of

162
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: that decade. And if it wasn't for Belichick and Brady,

163
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe they have three or four rings during

164
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: that time. But yeah, rip did Jim Mersey. So NFL

165
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: news and notes from the day, A lot of stuff

166
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: going on, like some stuff not that crazy Joey Bosa injured. Shocker,

167
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: didn't see that one coming. Now, the reality with the Bills.

168
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: He has a calf injury. He's not going to participate

169
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: this offseason, should be ready for training camp. Is the

170
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: offseason training camp. You could argue even early in the

171
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: season doesn't matter for Joey Bosa at all. The Bills

172
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: signed Joey Bosa for November December in the playoffs. Now

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: can he stay healthy? I would say being injured in

174
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: otas's ideal, But this is part of, you know, the

175
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: package when you signed Joey. I think they're gonna have

176
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: to treat him with kid gloves and really just try

177
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: to keep him healthy for the games, because that's why

178
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: they signed him, to get some sacks down the stretch

179
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: and make plays in some big games in December in

180
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Speaking of the Bills, James Cook absent. You know,

181
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: he sees these running backs getting a lot of money.

182
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: He's a really good player. I would say he's changed

183
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: the identity of the Bills these last couple of years.

184
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine that the front office with the Bills

185
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: isn't like very comfortable giving a running back forty fifty

186
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. But I would imagine James Cook's gonna

187
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: want seventeen eighteen million dollars a year and I don't

188
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: know at minimum forty million dollars guaranteed. So it's gonna

189
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: be interesting how this shakes out. Probably be a staring

190
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: contest for a while off season for a guy that

191
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: knows your scheme whatever. But like, come training camp, you've

192
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: seen this before. You want a guy, especially at running

193
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: back the reps being in the mode, like you don't

194
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: want him just to show up week one. You know,

195
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: I have not practiced with you. So it's gonna be

196
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: interesting to watch how that shakes out. A couple things

197
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: with the Falcons, you know, I think Cousins was there

198
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: earlier during some of the early phases working out now

199
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: that they're actually doing more football related activities. Rahie Morris

200
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: said he did not see Cousins today, Aka he's not there,

201
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: And this was kind of reported that if he was

202
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: still on the team during OTAs that he wasn't going

203
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: to be around. Like, totally understand it. Don't even think

204
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: it's that weird. I think they're kind of in a

205
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: staring contest. Who really needs them at this point in time.

206
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the Browns are going to trade for

207
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: him if we assume that Aaron Rodgers one day, maybe

208
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: this year, in the near future, we'll sign with the

209
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. They won't trade for him, So what is

210
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: the Cousins market? If I was going to sit here

211
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: on May twenty seventh, then guess what happens. I think

212
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons are just going to play this into training

213
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: camp and hope that someone gets injured and they could

214
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: make a trade. But right now, I don't really know

215
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: if there's a lot of destinations for him to go.

216
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: I always hesitate with the because it's just day one.

217
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Maybe a report comes out, But as of the day,

218
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: there was a report that Kyle Pitts did not show up,

219
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: and the way that it was reported, it's not like

220
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: you know something's going on in his personal life. It

221
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: said he's not that comfortable playing on the fifty year

222
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: option for almost eleven million dollars. If that is the case,

223
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: that's fucking insane. The guy got forty seven balls in

224
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: six hundred yards and four touchdowns last year. Like, I

225
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: don't know if that's really the year to try to

226
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: have like a hardcore negotiation, especially when you're on the

227
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: books for almost eleven million dollars. Which seems more than

228
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: fair given your production. And I think he's a guy

229
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: that a lot of people have argued, like what's going on.

230
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe he's just not that good, or maybe he

231
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: is just such a unique player. He can only do

232
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: one thing, and the Falcons have never been able to

233
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: maximize that. And he's destined to fall in, you know,

234
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: to another team. But even if they were to trade

235
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: him over the next couple months before the start of

236
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the season, I have a hard time seeing any team

237
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: giving him a contract extension. So hey, it's twenty twenty

238
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: five player empowerment. If you think got forty seven catches,

239
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: you're getting screwed at ten point eight million dollars. I

240
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. I love this line

241
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: from Todd Bowles. Now, listen, like you get in business

242
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: with certain people. If you get in business with someone

243
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: that your entire town tells you, man, this guy's shady,

244
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: bro be very very careful. I would recommend you not

245
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: do business with this guy and then that guy screws

246
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: you financially. You only have yourself to blame, right If

247
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: everyone of your friends is like man, I'm not one

248
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: to tell you about your relationship, but I think she's

249
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: not right for you, and then you get into a

250
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: bad breakup, like it's kind of on you. I get

251
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: asan Reddick has some talent and some speed coming off

252
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: the edge, and in the business of football, that position

253
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: and that skill is valued highly. I totally get it.

254
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a talented player. I do think the

255
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: last year's been a little weird, like when the Eagles

256
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, we're out, and then the Jets are like,

257
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on? And then it takes the

258
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: general manager getting fired and the owner being terrified that

259
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: you know a season was going to be lost it

260
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: ended up being lost, and giving the guy a raise

261
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: to get him just to show up, like I'm sorry,

262
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: it's a bizarre situation. Jason Light gives him fourteen million

263
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: dollars off what happened. It's like, okay, but time to play.

264
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: And if you're a Son Reddick and everything that happened

265
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: and you've willingly, willingly signed this contract, you'd think, I

266
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: get it's voluntary, and voluntary means I can't force you

267
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: to do anything. It's got to be on you. But

268
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: based on the perception and everything that's gone on, you

269
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: think you show up Todd Bowles had an incredible line.

270
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I just read it, so I

271
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: can only imagine in his kind of like relaxed tone.

272
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll see him one of these days. I mean,

273
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: that's that's a direct shot, like, what the fuck are

274
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: we doing? Of all the people like, hey, Levante, David,

275
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: he's doing his own thing for a couple more weeks.

276
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: Totally get Vita Vea hanging out with fam in Hawaii. Cool.

277
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is in the you know, some Italian villa.

278
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Still vacationing train, Totally cool. Hell Baker Mayfield still hanging

279
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: out in Austin with his wife and his family. I

280
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: can live with that. This guy, I just gave you

281
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: forty million dollars after everything that happened, and you just

282
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: don't show up again. This is Tampa. We're not in Antarctica. Here.

283
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: It's not the worst place to be. The thing I

284
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: don't understand about stuff like this. These practices, now in

285
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, have never been easier. It's basically like

286
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: a solid cardio workout. You're on the field at most

287
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: a couple days a week for about an hour and

288
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: a half. You are doing some film study, and if

289
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: you're a defensive end, what are you really implementing in

290
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: terms of a scheme, Like I'm either playing the run

291
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: here getting up the field. Obviously it's more complicated than that.

292
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: But this is not a strenuous time for players. It's

293
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: an incredible time for players, just kind of hanging chilling,

294
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: getting free breakfast, free food, hanging out with your teammates

295
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: on the field a little bit, getting a sweat, you're

296
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: working out. Would you'd be doing anyway? It is very,

297
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: very relaxed. Not a great look for the player. I mean,

298
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: what kind of embarrassing To be honest with you, If

299
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Light, I'm not happy today, Like, come on, man,

300
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: Jake Moody who Jim Harbaugh once said death taxes and

301
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: Moody turns out the forty nine ers have not gotten

302
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: that sort of guarantees because Jake Moody's been I would say,

303
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: pretty bad for them. It came out that he has

304
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: changed his motion and he's going to It's like off

305
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: the tee, you're like, I'm not going to swing as hard.

306
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: I just want to hit the fairway. He has changed

307
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: his motion to try to be more accurate. I'm sorry.

308
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to be a kicking or punting specialist,

309
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: but if you have to change your motion a couple

310
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: of years into your career when you were a quote

311
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: unquote blue chip kicker from Michigan who was drafted in

312
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: the third round, I think we have to kind of

313
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: acknowledge this is a disaster. And I am always supportive

314
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: if you take a kicker or a punter. Second round

315
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: is a little high. But i'd even say at the

316
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: end of the third round, the comp picks which the

317
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Niners used picking the hundreds, obviously the fourth, fifth round.

318
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: It's not an ideal situation because we have a long

319
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: history of finding guys undrafted free agents. But if I

320
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: draft a guy in the third or the fourth round

321
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: and he's my starting kicker, if I end up drafting

322
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: Butcker or whoever the best punter is, and he's on

323
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: my team for a decade, that's a fantastic pick. I

324
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: think how often at the end of the third round

325
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: of the fourth round you take some guard linebacker that

326
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: never plays a snap for you. So I defend people

327
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: taking kickers or punters, but they better be the guy

328
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: and they better go on to be a starting player.

329
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: For you and get a second contract. So I would

330
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: say all signs point to this being a disaster. And

331
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: this is where people argue against taking these you know,

332
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: these kickers and these punters, because it's like the hit

333
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: rate on drafting guys is no different than just finding

334
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: them on the street. And how often do you see

335
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: guys that are drafted that get cut, that go somewhere

336
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: else and then play for a long time. Hell is

337
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys kicker who didn't even play in college, who's

338
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: a soccer player, went to the UFL. Now he's I

339
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: don't know statistically where he ended up. I don't know

340
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: my kicker breakdown readily available, but like he's a good player. Meanwhile,

341
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: using a third round to pick on this guy from

342
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Michigan who buy all accounts on paper, it's gonna work.

343
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Two years in you're like, this is a problem. One

344
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: thing where players can get some leverage is after the draft.

345
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: You know, I assumed, and again I'm guilty of just

346
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: it felt like all the wind and all the buzz,

347
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, the Packers are gonna trade

348
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: JayR Alexander. Ever since that moment, now he's been injured

349
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: off and on, but when he went out, he's from Carolina.

350
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: They're playing the Panthers a couple of years ago, and

351
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: he just made himself the captain. He ended up getting

352
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: suspended kind of. I mean, I think, pretty funny move,

353
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: but it just felt like break up. Time to go.

354
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, the Packers look around

355
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: their depth chart after the draft, like, we don't really

356
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: have any dbs, and now they offer him like a

357
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: rework contract and all reports are Jaya Alexander's gonna show

358
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: back up. So it shows you you can mend fences

359
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: by just having your team realize that we kind of

360
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: need this guy. And now Jaya Alexander has some leverage,

361
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: like you still want me, you still need me, I'm

362
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: looking at your room. You kinda do. And I would say,

363
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: at this point in time, I would imagine that he's

364
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna end up on the team. The NBA Finals are

365
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: almost here, and every play could be the one that

366
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: changes everything. This is the NBA Playoffs where heroes rise,

367
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,680

00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: Thunder had an incredible regular season. Not gonna lie. I

376
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: like the t Wolves, and you can get them to

377
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: win this season. Obviously, lines are subject to change. At

378
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: plus two sixty five, the Knicks are heavy favorite. It

379
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: feels like the Pacers are a sexy pick. I think

380
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: the Knicks get it done. I think this is a

381
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: team of destiny. You can get the Knicks to win

382
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,680

401
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: A couple quick things in college football last year, a

402
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: very controversial moment in the playoffs was that some of

403
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: the teams that won their conference were going to get buys,

404
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: and it turned out that Boise State and Arizona State

405
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: got first round bys, and people thought that was kind

406
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: of crazy. It's like, you're telling me that Boise State,

407
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: who I have a lot of respect for the program,

408
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: is better than like Ohio State and Texas. Come on, Georgia,

409
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: we all know that's not true. And they announced which

410
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: we saw coming, which is the nice part about this

411
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: playoffs is that you can change at a moment's notice,

412
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: and now they are going to just seed it one

413
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: through twelve, which it was clear when they listen. Arizona

414
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: State almost pulled a miraculous upset against Texas, but if anything,

415
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, they shouldn't have been the higher seed in

416
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: the tournament, and I think that will get taken. I

417
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: still think there are gonna be some controversies with who

418
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: gets in who doesn't get in, but that's that's gonna

419
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: happen with any sort of playoff bracket where a committee

420
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: is picking the team. But this was an easy decision,

421
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: especially based on the information we had last year. Another

422
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: topic which has come up now twice over the last

423
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: six months is USC trying to get out of a game.

424
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: And last year when they tried to get out of

425
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: the LSU game, I thought it was pretty embarrassing because

426
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: the game had been set for a while. It's your

427
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: classic non conference. It was not even at sc or

428
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: at LSU, it was in Vegas. Lincoln Riley tried to

429
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: get out, Brian Kelly refused to pull out, and it

430
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: turned out USC ended up winning the game anyway, but

431
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: I hated that for Yese. I just thought it was

432
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: a bad look, especially for Lincoln, and it's kind of

433
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: materialized once the season started. It's like, got don't be

434
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: a pussy. Well, USC clearly wants out of this Notre

435
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Dame rivalry, and here is something where I do kind

436
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: of support this USC goes. We're in the Big Ten

437
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: and depending on the year, we might be playing Oregon,

438
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: we might be playing Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. Who knows.

439
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: Like we have a set group of teams, and if

440
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: the conference has a good couple of years, our schedule

441
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: is going to be really really difficult on top of

442
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: having to travel really far even though we created this,

443
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: but hey, we are in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, Notre

444
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: Dame is the last of a dying breed. They're this

445
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: just independent team that can do whatever they want now.

446
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: Unlike last year, where, let's face it, their schedule was

447
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: a joke, their schedule was an embarrassment. This year, their

448
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: schedule is not bad. I think they open up in Miami. Obviously,

449
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: they play see they play Boise, they play Texas, A

450
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: and M Like. Their schedule is pretty hard. They go

451
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: on the road a couple times to like Power four teams.

452
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: Their schedule is way more difficult this year than last year.

453
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: But it varies year to year because it's like, oh,

454
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: they got Navy, they got Army, which I have a

455
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: lot of respect for those programs, but we saw what

456
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: they did do on last year. It was a bloodbath.

457
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: And like going on the road to Wisconsin or to Iowa,

458
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: if that's like my easy game, if I'm sc like,

459
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: I do kind of get it. And this is where

460
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: I think we need to head. So we have to

461
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: stop having these arguments like I'm just so tired of

462
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: reading this team wants out, this team doesn't. How about

463
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: we do this? And this is where I think it's

464
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: inevitably gonna happen. Who knows how much longer? Can we

465
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: all just be under the same umbrella? Can we all

466
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: just be under the same rules and regulations because so

467
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: many teams like the reason Lincoln Riley wants out of

468
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: the LSU game because like, why do I need to

469
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: play that game? I'm already in a real conference where

470
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: if I'm like Indiana and I have an easy schedule

471
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: and I win ten to eleven games, I'm gonna get

472
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: a playoff berth. So the college football to get to

473
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: the seating part, I saw a lot of people yesterday, like,

474
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: I bet there are still people that believe that Alabama

475
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: should have got into over Indiana, Like, yeah, maybe it

476
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: should have been some other But here's what I know,

477
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: A one loss Indiana team, just if you are in

478
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, but your schedule's are no different than

479
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: like Notre Dame, that schedule was a joke. There has

480
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: to be some sort of uniformity and right now there

481
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: just isn't any. So while I did not support USC

482
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: wanting out of the LSU game, I thought that was

483
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: an awful look and just just a pansy way to

484
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: try to crawl out of playing a real opponent. This

485
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: is a historic rivalry, but given the changing landscape of

486
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: college football and given the Notre Dame, like, let's face it,

487
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense for Notre Dame to

488
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: join the Big Ten in terms of football now, in

489
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: terms of money the NBC deal. Totally get it. But

490
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: I understand USC going like it benefits you more than

491
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: it benefits us. And this is the problem in the

492
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: world we're in with all this consolidation and conference realignment.

493
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: So don't get me wrong, I would love if Notre

494
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Dame and USC just played together or played each other forever,

495
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: but like, based on the rules and where we're at,

496
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: like that might not be that likely anymore. So, I

497
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: just I think the whole thing is kind of bullshit

498
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: with some of these teams playing these random like D

499
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: one double a's. I want that to start to stop,

500
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: and can't we just all play each other? But we're

501
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: still a little far away from that. A couple other

502
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: I went to Tahoe this weekend. It was awesome. Just

503
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I say it every year if you ever

504
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to go to Lake Tahoe, if you're

505
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: from the Northeast, if you're from the Midwest, if you're

506
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: from the South, I cannot recommend it enough. You can

507
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: fly into Reno, or you can fly into Sack a

508
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: little longer drive, but it's got to be one of

509
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: the most beautiful places on earth. I'm pretty spoiled. I

510
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: grew up probably less than two hours away. I had

511
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: one of my best friends was his dad was from there,

512
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: and he did well in life and built a pad

513
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: up there. And I went there a lot growing up,

514
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: and I've gone back a lot because Maria's family goes

515
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: up a lot and a brother lives in Reno now.

516
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: Her mom a couple of years ago bought a little

517
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: townhouse right by the water, which is which is really cool,

518
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: but just a beautiful place. I want to say two

519
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: things really quick. It is remarkable what technology has done.

520
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you listening have used this app,

521
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: like most people most of my life, if my adult life.

522
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: If you need and I did this a lot when

523
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: I was in scouting, Like you need to run a car,

524
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: so you go through avis, you go through hurts, and

525
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: it can be kind of a pain in the ass.

526
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: Then they created this thing called Turo, and I remember

527
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago using it for the first

528
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: time on like a guy's trip. This might have been

529
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: like four years ago, and I asked my buddy Brian,

530
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, where did you get this car? It's like, Bro,

531
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: it's nap It's called Turo, and they just deliver it

532
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: to you at the airport. You're like, wait, you don't

533
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: need to wait in line or anything. No, you just

534
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: walk out and it's usually sitting there in the parking

535
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: lot and they either can manually open or like I

536
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: did this weekend with a Tesla. The dude just I

537
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: just press a button, Boom, It's We're off and running.

538
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: And I it's so easy to talk about technology and

539
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: drives us crazy, and I want to spend less time

540
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: on my phone. I think we all aspire to do that.

541
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: But the power of if you were ever on a

542
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: road trip and you have not used it yet, I

543
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: cannot recommend Turo enough Now. I would say, over the

544
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: course of the last several years, I've ridden in a

545
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: lot of Ubers or Tesla's for Uber, and whenever you

546
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: get in the back, you're like, God, this is just

547
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: a really, really clean car. So I was like, you

548
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to rent from Turo a Tesla

549
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: and I got the model why it's like the small

550
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: little suv. What's funny is like when you first I'd

551
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: never driven one in my life. You first show up,

552
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: it's not like any car. If you've never driven in

553
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: an electric battery powered car, you know you got keys,

554
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: you turn it on. I sat there for like ten

555
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: minutes youtubing, like, how do I fucking start this thing?

556
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: This is insane? What do I even do? And like

557
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: most people that has never driven one, the break you

558
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: don't need to hit the brake, You just take the

559
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: pedal when your foot comes off the pedal. It's got

560
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: a name. I forget it off the top of my head.

561
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: But it like automatically breaks and slows down or just stops.

562
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't come to a full stop, but I can.

563
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: I was blown away by how awesome the car was,

564
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna get one. Now. I'm just

565
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna buy one just like have essentially be like a

566
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: golf cart version of a car to drive around town.

567
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Here it's like, well, why didn't I have? Like why

568
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: am I paying for gas when I don't really drive

569
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: that many places. We're gonna have a gas car for

570
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, her and I can use whenever I need to,

571
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: if we need to go on a road trip. But

572
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: it was an incredible experience. And the other thing is

573
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: not been I'm not a huge car guy, but I

574
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: have been in some fast cars over the years. Like

575
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, I was in this twin charged turbo Corvette

576
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: one time, probably the most powerful car I've ever been in.

577
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: But just some other cars that haul ass. But an engine,

578
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, it sucks in and then it fires out.

579
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: These things the moment you hit the pedal, they haul ass.

580
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: It's like you're in a little spaceship. Anyone listening to the

581
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: driver test is like cat Jo. I mean fucking They've

582
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: been around for a little while now, but it's like

583
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: you're like in a spaceship in like a video game

584
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: meets like a race car. It's crazy how fast they are.

585
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: So I had a really good time just mobbing around

586
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: in the Tesla around Tahoe all weekend.

598
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: questions answered here on the show. We got a lot.

599
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to power through this week. A ton

600
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: of questions because my inbox is loaded, we will start

601
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: with Thomas. Thanks for taking my question. I know you

602
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: do a little gambling that I do. And after my

603
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: Scottish Scheffler and Bryson d. Chambeau top five PGA championship

604
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: the forty five hundred, I'm just handing it right back

605
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: to DraftKings after I bet on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Thanks

606
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: for your effort, Anthony Edwards, just not quite good enough.

607
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: Do you believe the Travis Hunter ken of clips twelve

608
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards with Trevor Lawrence Bryant Thomas Junior had

609
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: twelve eighty two receiving yards last year. Thank you again.

610
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you could bet on that, especially if

611
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna kind of do this hybrid to me the

612
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: number of receiving yards. I mean, I would imagine Brian

613
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior is gonna have as equal, if not better

614
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: of a season. I mean, he's the number one target,

615
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: So let's say he gets thirteen hundred yards. I would

616
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: say anything around nine hundred if he's playing a little

617
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: defense too, would be an awesome season for Travis Hunter.

618
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: Twelve hundred feels like a lot. If we assume Brian

619
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior who is. I mean, if you did a

620
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: draft of wide receivers under like twenty five, twenty six

621
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: years old, he'd go pretty high. So I that feels high.

622
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: I think Brian Thomas Junior is a better wide receiver.

623
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm a Saints fan and we're currently having a quarterback

624
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: competition this offseason between Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shuck. Has

625
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: any name ever looked different than it sounds as much

626
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: as Tyler Shuck? You would think it was Tyler Show.

627
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of media covering the team and

628
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: appreciate their enthusiasm, but they all see I'm really excited

629
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: about having a real competition. Is it just me? Or

630
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: isn't that just handicapping whoever ends up starting Week one?

631
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think Shuck is the guy, the

632
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: most important thing for development is snaps with the first

633
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: team offense. I can't think of any competition that ever

634
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: worked other than Russell Wilson, but he was also on

635
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: a stacked team. Maybe it's just me, but it seems

636
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: like splitting snaps all off season just means neither guy

637
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: will be prepared as the quarterback they're playing against. I

638
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: think you owe it to the team early on to

639
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: at least make it feel fair. But in what world

640
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: is this going to be a fair competition? The coach

641
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: inherited Rattler, who a lot of people were interested in

642
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: last year, and then once he played, he looked awful.

643
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: He used a high second round pick to draft this guy,

644
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: who's twenty five years old, in a lot like Michael

645
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Pennock's last year old plug and play guy. Now is

646
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: he gonna be good or not? I don't know. I

647
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: would I like Michael Pennix a lot more than this guy,

648
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: but unless he's terrible in camp and you just can't

649
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: look the team in the face and make Rattler the quarterback.

650
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: I would be stunned if Tyler Shuck is in your

651
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Stunned. Someone sent me this. Jeff sent me

652
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: this visual of most playoff wins since twenty ten. Obviously,

653
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs lead the NFL with eighteen, the Patriots writing

654
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: a great decade sixteen. The Niners are third with thirteen,

655
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: But this illustration. The Packers, the Eagles, the Ravens, Seattle,

656
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: the Rams, all of them have Super Bowl trophies. They

657
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: all want to ring some multiple Yet the Niners with

658
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: thirteen playoff victories the last fourteen years have not Yeah,

659
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: I got close a lot a lifelong Packer fan, I

660
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: have two questions. Who do you feel the Packers were

661
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna draft based on needs? Who do you feel the Packers?

662
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: Do you feel the Packers drafting a receiver in the

663
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: first round and third round puts guys like Watson? Dobbs

664
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: on notice. Appreciate the feedback and congrats on your marriage.

665
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. I would say Christian Watson is a torn

666
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: ACL torn acl and I mean interesting player. Obviously can

667
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: fly in a couple of years ago, had like eight touchdowns.

668
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know if Christian Watson's really I didn't

669
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: know he's from Phoenix. He is career crazy. Thing is

670
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: Christian Watson now granted North Dakota State. I mean he

671
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: has breakout year senior year at forty three catches. I

672
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: mean his breakout year in the NFL was his rookie

673
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 1: or forty one catches, seven touchdowns, twenty three played nine games,

674
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, twenty eight catches. I mean just last year

675
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: he had twenty nine catches. I guess he tours ACL late,

676
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: so he played in fifteen games. He had twenty nine

677
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 1: catches last year, twenty nine. Do I put a guy

678
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: on notice that it's twenty nine catches. I think they

679
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: draft Golden in the first round because they're like, these

680
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: guys just aren't good enough, and one guy's got torn ACL.

681
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: So I think they draft Golden because they think he's

682
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna play and start immediately. If you would bet on

683
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: any sport non football, to overtake all other sports in

684
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: popularity revenue, what would it be. I saw your comment

685
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: about how hockey only being popular in cold regions. I disagree.

686
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: Being from Vegas, the Knights have loved them or hate them,

687
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: added to the sport. They're more popular than the Raiders

688
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: in Vegas. Literally everyone is a diehard Knights fan. Look

689
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: at the remaining playoff teams in hockey, it's Florida, Dallas,

690
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: Carolina in Vegas. Uh in Vegas last round hockey easily

691
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: is the most in I'm not denying I watched the

692
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: Carolina Florida game last night or some of it with

693
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: the with the t Wolves game. I'm not denying that

694
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: Florida Panthers aren't popular in like the Miami area or

695
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: the Vegas isn't really popular or when the LA Kings

696
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: were good, they didn't have a big I'm not talking

697
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: about like local fan bases. I'm talking about the amount

698
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: of people playing the sport. Are there more people in Vegas,

699
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: more high school and junior high kids playing hockey or football?

700
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: I think we all know the answer to that. Are

701
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: there more people in the Miami Fort Lauderdale area playing hockey?

702
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, I would imagine they beat car or excuse me,

703
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,479
Speaker 1: the Florida Panthers are going to be Carolina and they're

704
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: going to the the Stanley Cup Finals. They won it

705
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: last year and they are going to be favored. I

706
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: would have guess they're gonna play Edmonton. They're gonna be

707
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: favored to win it again. There's a decent chance they

708
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: go back to back. The Miami Dolphins. Fuck if they

709
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: won a playoff game in like twenty years yet, what's

710
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: more popular? I'm not talking about NHL teams like doing well.

711
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: If you're a professional team non football, baseball, basketball, or

712
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: hockey and your team is awesome, guess what's gonna happen.

713
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: People are gonna give a shit. People are going to

714
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: care if your team sucks in those sports, Guess what's

715
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen. People aren't gonna care as much. So I

716
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: think you would say hockey is the most niche out

717
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: of the those three. When they're good, you don't just

718
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,959
Speaker 1: need to be in Montreal or Detroit. Yes, if if

719
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: they were in Phoenix and they will win the NHL

720
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup. There's not team here anymore, but if

721
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: there was, it'd be packed. My point was more about

722
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: the youth playing it. That creates a fan, right. Most

723
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: of us have played some form of basketball, baseball, or

724
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: football when we're kids, and that's easier to pay attention

725
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: as we get older. It's it's easy for me to like,

726
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't watch nearly as much baseball as I used to,

727
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: but when the playoffs start, I can dial in and

728
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: guess what. Having haven't played baseball since Little League, I

729
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: know all the fucking rules you know basketball like I

730
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: can watch a basketball game. Haven't played organized basketball and

731
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: actually was in a pickup league when I was in

732
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: Philly with uh my buddy Mike Bradway works for Beach Now.

733
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: I was always a pretty terrible pick up player because

734
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have a great jump shot, and

735
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: I can't drive so I shoot a lot of shots

736
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: and I missed. But my point is, like it's easy

737
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: to fall basketball. We all kind of know the rules,

738
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: you know. That's my point. It's not about like the

739
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: Vegas Night aren't a big deal. What is a bigger deal?

740
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: The Raiders are, the Knights, the Raiders are. It's the NFL. Yeah,

741
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: in Vegas on a given night, like when they're playing,

742
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people are they're watching. If the Raiders

743
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: were half as good as the Knights, it wouldn't even

744
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: be close. Who's a bigger Who's a bigger name in Vegas?

745
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll or the dude coaching the Knights. I think

746
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: we know the answer to that. I'm not even trying

747
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: to talk about hockey. Yeah, I like hockey, but I

748
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: think you kind of miss my point. I don't know

749
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: the answer. I mean, I don't think. I think they

750
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: all do well in their own little world. The thing

751
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: with hockey. When I was at this barstool gambling thing

752
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago at the Draftking Sportsbook, I

753
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: was talking to Commodore, My Commodore, who's been on the

754
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: show before, who's one of the greatest interviews of all time.

755
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: If you're new to the show, you missed it. But

756
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: he's a beauty played in the NHL for a long

757
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: time and we were watching it was like Nick Celtics

758
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: and there was an NHL playoff game going and I said,

759
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy is there are probably eight guys,

760
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: eight out of the ten guys in the NBA game

761
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: on the floor that make double the highest paid guy

762
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: in the NHL game. I'm like, what does the highest

763
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: paid NHL player make on the ice right now? And

764
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't know, like twelve fourteen million dollars,

765
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: Like they don't make nearly as much. So it's is

766
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: based on revenue, and a huge part of revenue is

767
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: like the popularity of the television deals. Question for the

768
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: back more of a statement why NFL team should never

769
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: allow flag football. I'm an Indian native and a Pacer fan.

770
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: Life is great right now, but hadn't paid attention to

771
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: the NBA for nearly a decade because of how miserable

772
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: being a Pacer fan have been. It all went to

773
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: shit when Paul George snapped his leg in a Team

774
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: USA scrimmage. Instantly, thirty years of coming up just short

775
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: of Michael or Lebron now became a life of complete irrelevance.

776
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: It was a sole moment that has taken over a

777
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: decade and three miraculous comebacks to begin to heal that

778
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: shit storm that Team USA cost. I hate everything about

779
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: this AnyWho go Colts and Pacers. I do think the

780
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: Paul George injury was when he shattered his leg on

781
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: the stanchion. People play in teamuous in basketball games all

782
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: the time and don't get injured, so I that was

783
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: even relative to NBA injuries. I mean, one of the

784
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: worst injuries we've ever seen. His leg shattered. He had

785
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: a compound fracture that canceled the game. I think the

786
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: game was in Vegas. To me, it's way more dangerous

787
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: in flag football than the Paul George situation. Didn't they

788
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: officially move the stanchion back a little farther because of

789
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: that incident, if I remember correctly. But I hear you,

790
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I I have no problem if I'm an

791
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: NBA team letting. Honestly, you don't let anybody in the NBA.

792
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: If Jason Tatum or Anthony Davis or Lebron James they

793
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: want to play in Tmosa, they playing TSA and you

794
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: just say good luck. But in football, to me, it's

795
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a little different. I'm gonna let who knows.

796
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we're four years away, but I'm gonna let

797
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson play in flag football. A lot of you

798
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: guys got to kick out of the Dominican Ronnie Lott,

799
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: which it just kind of came to me mid sentence.

800
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: But I do think there's some validity to I don't

801
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: know any of these guys he's playing against, it is

802
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: by far gonna be the biggest moment in their flag

803
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: football career as a defensive back going up against these

804
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: star NFL wide receivers. I'm I'm gonna let Ashton Genty

805
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: hit the open field against Spain like no no chance

806
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: question for the bag. One concern I see for the

807
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: ANIL and transfer portal is the development of players going

808
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. If there's a severe decline in talent

809
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: of players going from college to pro, do you see

810
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: the NFL intervening on some level. Since the NCAA can't

811
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: do shit and has no balls to put any type

812
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: of structure of any kind, I think the only way

813
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: they would get involved is if the product fell off

814
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: a Cliff and they were gonna make less money. Then

815
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: the owners would get you know, Washington truly involved. Every

816
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: once in a while you see a tweet from a

817
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: senator like I think it's time for a hearing. It's like,

818
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: shut up. But if you cost them money, which if

819
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: you cost owners money, you cost some players money, they're

820
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna be problems. And I'll promise you Washington would immediately

821
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: get involved. And I do think like no one at

822
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: this point in time worth their salt is against any

823
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: player getting paid. Honestly, ninety percent of people don't really

824
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: give a shit. But I saw Elko to death. It's

825
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: like the SEC offseason meetings going on. Was can you

826
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: imagine just like changing the rules in the middle of

827
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: a season. He's like just telling like Howie Roseman, Hey,

828
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: the salary cap is actually different now in like October.

829
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: He'd be like, what it is very It's just not

830
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: a buttoned up operation. And I'm all for like breaking

831
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: rules like welcome to business, but there has to be

832
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: some structure in which you get to color outside of

833
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: the lines. Like no one's there is no structure in anything.

834
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: They're just it's just ruleless. And I don't know, I

835
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: get we don't. We have a small sample size, but

836
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: I actually think it impacts human beings. Most of these

837
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: guys are not gonna go to the NFL. Most of

838
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: them are never gonna play a snap in the National

839
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: Football League. A small percentage of college football players Division

840
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: one power for college football players play for the eg

841
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: The Cowboys, the Niners, the Packer Like they never played

842
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Most of them go on to normal

843
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: to society like you and me. Yet I remember last

844
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: year I played golf with this guy and we were

845
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: talking football and then by like the seventh hole, he's like, yeah,

846
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: I was the backup running back for mid two thousands

847
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: for the USC. I was in the room with Lendale

848
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: and Reggie White. Reggie still my good buddy today, Matt Lioner,

849
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: we do a bunch of stuff together, and I was

850
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: like that relationship he has for his five years at USC.

851
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: That individual now not in a million years. He was

852
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: a huge recruit. I remember, I forget his name, but

853
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: he was like a role player kickoff return. You know,

854
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: he's like the four string running back who dressed on

855
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: game day and played a little and he has friends

856
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: for life in this group and his experience like he

857
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: won multiple national titles and changed his life set him

858
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: up once he got in the real world. That individual,

859
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: that four or five star recruit that went to Alabama,

860
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: that went to USC, that went to Oregon, he would

861
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: have transferred within a year or two and potentially when

862
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: he looked back at four or five years, been at

863
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: like three different schools. He was never gonna play in

864
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, no matter what. But is he better off? Like, yeah,

865
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I played, ended up playing at Boise State and then

866
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: utep I started at USC, or the crew of guys

867
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: that were like, yeah, I just played my whole career

868
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: at Oregon. Was never a starter, but some of my

869
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: friends for life. These guys are going to be in

870
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: my wedding. It's just an incredible experience like that part

871
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: of it. And I don't blame a guy. If I

872
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: was a backup and I was nineteen years old, I'd

873
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: be like, hey, Boise just called, they'll give me two

874
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: under grand I'll be there, starting running back or starting linebacker. Well,

875
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: then what if you get there, because football, at the

876
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, like the paths fucking come on.

877
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: The chin straps, get buckled, and you practice and you

878
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: got to win a job, right, no matter what star

879
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: you are, no matter even how much money I give you,

880
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: If you can't get it done, you are not going

881
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: to play at the sport, in the NFL or college.

882
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: I can sign a huge free agent. If Milton Williams,

883
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: I'm just using this an example. I like the guy.

884
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to He's the first guy that popped

885
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: in my head. The Patriots gave him all that money.

886
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: If Milton Williams, for whatever reasons, doesn't transition to their

887
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 1: scheme and doesn't play well and sucks, he will not play, period,

888
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. He'll get paid, but he

889
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 1: won't play. And like that's part of the sport. So yeah,

890
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it has a lot more impacts

891
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: of like, there just needs to be some structure. Unlimited

892
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: transfer portal feels kind of ridiculous, honestly, what isn't The

893
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: first thing is like, hey, if your coach leaves, he

894
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: either takes a job or gets fired, you should be

895
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: able to transfer. Everyone's cool with that. Now, it's like

896
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: if coach leaves, stays, doesn't go, whatever, you can transfer

897
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: whenever you feel like it. My question is, what is

898
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: your ranking of offensive minds in the NFL. I always

899
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: hear all these names of hotshot coordinators, coach wizards who

900
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: come from one good coaching tree. In our top five

901
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: or top ten. I probably heard fifteen to twenty guys

902
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: be called top ten, which obviously cannot be true. Could

903
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: you give me a ranking of your top ten offensive

904
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: minds in the league. Well, I think there's just a

905
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: clear like top four or five guys. I mean Andy

906
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: Reid is the king of the castle, just an offensive genius,

907
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: been doing it for decades on decades. I think then

908
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of the Shanahan crew, McVeigh, Kyle, you know, Lafloor, O'Connell,

909
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,439
Speaker 1: kind of that group on a yearly basis. You could

910
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 1: change the ordering. You know, two years ago, Kyle would

911
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: have been first out of that group. Right now it's

912
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: O'Connell or McVeigh. I think Lafour is pretty good. I mean,

913
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: she started winning games with Malik Willis, O'Connell got Sam

914
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: Darnold to throw thirty five touchdowns. They're all really good.

915
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: I think that crew of guys, and they've all been

916
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: head coaches and done it. The best offensive coordinator the

917
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: last couple of years that wasn't a head coach I

918
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: think was clearly Ben Johnson, who was unreal. Now can

919
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: he do that? Can he be the same level offensive

920
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: coordinator as the head coach? I posted on my Instagram.

921
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: But there was a clip. You know, the Bears voted

922
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: against the tush push right, they wanted to ban it,

923
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: And then he was asked about it, why you wanted

924
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: to ban it? And he gave this answer about, like,

925
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: I like explosive plays. I don't want that play out.

926
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: It's like Ben, he's a great offensive coordinator and he

927
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: was fucking awesome in Detroit. His answer was a joke.

928
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 1: Just say, listen, I was told to vote against it.

929
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: It's not explosively, it's a short yardage goal line play.

930
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: What were you talking about? People like middle God, if

931
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: you just hate the Bears, I do not. I think

932
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: their roster's excellent. I think they had a great offseason.

933
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: I think Ben Johnson easily the best offensive coordinator in

934
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: the league the last couple of years. You could even

935
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: argue head coach too, you're like, you know, against McVeigh,

936
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: Kyle and all those guys. But that answer was a joke.

937
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it was embarrassing. It had Brandon Staley vibes.

938
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't blame him for having to answer because Caleb

939
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk about his dad shitting on the

940
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: organization Like that's not Ben Johnson had nothing to do

941
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: with that, and he had to answer for it. Kind

942
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: of weird spot, even though his answer was kind of funny.

943
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: But the toast push, It's like, bro, it's not an

944
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: explosive play. It's fourth and one at the fifty yard line,

945
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: trying to get a first down. You know what you're saying.

946
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: You're trying to be like, just say hey, Kevin Warren one,

947
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: I was told by the ownership to vote against it

948
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: or just say no comment, to say yeah, I just

949
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't really want to talk about that. I thought

950
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: his answer was pretty cheesy. Uh hey, man, love the pod.

951
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: What's your take on the Saints. I'm twenty six, been

952
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: fans and so forth. I fell in love with the Kellers.

953
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: I hate Mickey Looms how he kicks the can down

954
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: the road and mortgages the future year after year and

955
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: the only thing saving us is raising the rising cap.

956
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: I think this new era of Saints football under Kellen

957
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: Moore could be great. Our quarterback coach is the dad

958
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: of a college quarterback thoughts, Well, you know, Doug nuss

959
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: Meyer actually was drafted by you guys. I think back

960
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: in the nineties. He can sling it lefty from Ido. Yeah.

961
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I like, I don't know Kellen, but I

962
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: like Doug Nussmeyer a lot. Root for Kellen. I've watched

963
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: him since a player at Boise State. I would be

964
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: excited if I were you guys. I do think this

965
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: season could be pretty ugly. I do think this season

966
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: could just be weird, especially if Tyler Shuck is your

967
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Maybe I'm proven wrong. Maybe it just Tyler

968
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: Shuck is like Dak Prescott in twenty sixteen, and he's

969
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: just solid and your team solid around him. Because I

970
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: actually do think you have some solid players. Your offensive

971
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: lines be pretty good. You definitely have some good players

972
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: on defense. You know, if everyone's healthy. On offense, You've

973
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: got Kamara tight end. I forget the name solid. You

974
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: got twenty two who can you got injured late in

975
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: the season, but he can fly. Sheen I think his

976
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: name is Chris Lovey is a good player. I mean,

977
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: you've got some pieces, but I don't know about Tyler Shuck.

978
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Lions fan, and I think losing both coordinators

979
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: isn't that positive. Their heads got too big and interfered

980
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: with our playoff game. So glad the Bears are the

981
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: team that fell for it. Can't wait to beat his

982
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: ass twice a year. In two years, both Glenn and

983
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: Johnson will be begging Dan for their jobs back. Uh.

984
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things can be true. I

985
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: get why you're mad about the playoff situation. Losing to

986
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: the Commanders. You guys got to buy so it's like,

987
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: what were they really gonna do over the bye? Your

988
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: team on defense was depleted? So, like Aaron Glenn, I

989
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: do think those guys tried really hard to win that game.

990
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they just mailed it in. I really don't.

991
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: And the Chicago Bears would have sold their left nut

992
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: to get Ben Johnson. Is it gonna work out? I

993
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: have no clue. You would say based on history, probably not,

994
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: but one million percent they had to hire. Now, Aaron Glenn,

995
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 1: the Jets I not an easy place to win, especially

996
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: if justin fields your quarterback could be tough. But I

997
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: can't hate on Ben Johnson or Aaron Glenn. I like

998
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: them both. I just think it's gonna be It's gonna

999
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 1: be there. I mean, there's a lot of pressure on Ben,

1000
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: who a couple of years ago was like scared to

1001
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: become a head coach. Aaron Glenn's wanted to become a

1002
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: head coach for a while. I think Aaron Glenn is

1003
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: the right. I don't think he even mailed it in

1004
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: Love the Show Your Football. Now, that's great, But questioning

1005
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: your sense of humor. When Ben Johnson says it's come

1006
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: to my attention, he's obviously talking tongue in cheek. He

1007
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: lives in Chicago, he coaches the Bears. Therefore, everyone and

1008
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: his dog knows. The guy has heard all about Caleb

1009
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: Williams and Seth Wickersham. He is probably sick of it already.

1010
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: That's why it's comes to my attention. Is actually pretty funny.

1011
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson has a sense of humor. Cut it some slack,

1012
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: don't be so serious. All the time I was joking,

1013
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: bro it was. I was being tongue in cheek with

1014
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: my reaction to it. Just the way he said it.

1015
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: He talks. He's pretty cheesy when he speaks, like he

1016
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: just is like when you watch some of these guys,

1017
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: I would say that Ben Johnson when he speaks, isn't

1018
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: the most confident guy up there? Right. You watch Sean McVay,

1019
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: you watch you know the Tom you watch these guys

1020
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: have been doing it for a while. You watch Dan Camp,

1021
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: you watch Aaron Glenn. Like I would say, Ben Johnson

1022
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: is I don't want to say uncomfortable, but it's come

1023
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: to my attention the whole Bears thing, like I put

1024
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: this more on Caleb. It's like, Bro, you got to

1025
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: answer these questions anyway. You shit on the Bears before

1026
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: it came out. Who cares eighteen months ago putting your

1027
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,479
Speaker 1: coach out there to take all these bow and arrow

1028
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: these arrows for you when it's like he had nothing

1029
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: to do with it. I'm not that serious all the time.

1030
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: It was a fucking joke, Bro, you need to relax.

1031
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry your team always sucks. That was a joke

1032
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: as well. I'm from Philly, but your team always does

1033
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: kind of suck. I'm from Philly and lived in the

1034
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: Bar area, so we have something in common and makes

1035
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: your podcast easy relate to. My question is after the draft,

1036
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: is there a player you think landed in a great

1037
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: situation that if he had gone somewhere else, his chances

1038
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: would not be as high. Purty is a great example

1039
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: of this that I had heard you mentioned. Who is

1040
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: that guy this year? Uh, that's a good question. I

1041
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: would say, I have to think about that. I would

1042
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: say I would say this about Travis Hunter just because

1043
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: of his situation. It's probably easier to go to the Jags,

1044
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: just a little less going on there than if he

1045
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: had gone to the Browns. He goes to the Jags

1046
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: with an with Liam Cohen, this Steve Jobs Junior, the GM.

1047
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: It's just kind of an just an ease in period,

1048
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: and you know the franchise, there's not this like microscope

1049
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: over it. He would have gone to the Browns with

1050
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: the with the quarterback situation, it just it would have

1051
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: been messy. I actually think it worked out for him

1052
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: to just kind of because this year is gonna be

1053
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: a feeling out process. The more and more I think

1054
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: about it, I think it's pretty fucking insane if he

1055
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: actually thinks not the heat I unders staying why he

1056
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: thinks is he's twenty twenty one years old. If they're

1057
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: actually going to attempt to have him played both ways.

1058
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day if I

1059
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: was like, he's gonna be a starting receiver and he

1060
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: plays some at dB. If he ever came in on

1061
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: dB at dB, some of these teams are gonna call, like,

1062
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: have you seen him? He weigs one hundred and eighty

1063
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: five pounds. You're gonna like pull the tackle out to

1064
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: get him. You're gonna have you know, a blocking tight

1065
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: end or some version of your why fullback go out

1066
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: and try to hit the guy. The teams are gonnattack him.

1067
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 1: And then if you're a wide receiver like I'm Ceedee Lamb,

1068
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm justin Jefferson, I'm Jamar Chase. I do this for

1069
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: a living. You're gonna put this guy off the bench,

1070
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: come out and try to cover me on second and

1071
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: third and long. Godspeed, homie. It's just back to the Bears.

1072
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: Fans are so sensitive, they really are. They're just I

1073
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: get so many dms of like middle God. If you

1074
00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: hate the Bears, like bro, I don't have it. I

1075
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: hate the Lakers. It's honestly the only team that I hate.

1076
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: I have nothing against the Bears. Honestly, I watched way

1077
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: too much of the Bears last year when they were awful.

1078
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: It was like a beautiful train wreck. But there's just

1079
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: this sensitivity and I get it. Like when I lived

1080
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, there was a very there was

1081
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: a lot of sensitivity around like Raider fans and anytime

1082
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: that you kind of get shunned in the conversation and

1083
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: people talk about you, it can scar you as a fan.

1084
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: And I get it, But I honestly have no personal

1085
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: animosity or really care, Like it'd be cool if you

1086
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: guys are good, have everay been to the city? Hurt

1087
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: us great? Take a chill pill, like everything's gonna be okay.

1088
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Why doesn't the NBA have a similar to the NFL

1089
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: Honors where they hold a big event to announce Player

1090
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: of the Year awards instead of just unceremoniously announcing the

1091
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 1: awards individually throughout the playoffs. It feels like a misopportunity

1092
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: to make a lot of money and PoTA actually boost

1093
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: viewership well most you know, when the NFL does it,

1094
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: they do it the night before the two nights Friday

1095
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: Night and Super Bowl Sunday. Most of the guys and

1096
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: the coaches who win those awards can attend the event,

1097
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, in basketball, as they announce in the playoffs,

1098
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys are playing the MVP, the

1099
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: six man, the Defensive Player of the Year, the All

1100
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: NBA teams. It'd be a little more complicated. I guess

1101
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe you could do it during the NBA Finals. I

1102
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: don't know, it's I don't think it's apples to apples.

1103
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, but I don't know if

1104
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: it quite works the same. You know, think about like

1105
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, their Hall of Fame is a really big deal.

1106
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Like the week to make the Hall of Fame. They

1107
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame game, which is awful, but

1108
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: it's just the broadcast is like NBC, they take it

1109
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: really really seriously. You know, the NBA, It's just it's

1110
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: that level of an event. It's just it's not the same. Plus,

1111
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: they don't need like the NFL needs inventory. You only

1112
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: play so many games, so some of these events are

1113
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: a really, really big deal. I love Tyler Warren watching

1114
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: him dominate in college with something else. He reminded me

1115
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: of Gronk type player with the size, blocking in hands,

1116
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: and versatility playing running back in quarterback. What do you

1117
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: think of his impact will be for the Colts? Specifically,

1118
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: will he help Richardson? I would say his ball skills

1119
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: are beyond elite, so you throw it in his vicinity.

1120
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: He has pretty special I would say spatial awareness, ability

1121
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: to track the football in the air, on top of

1122
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: him being massive like Gronkowski, which he's gonna be taller

1123
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: than anyone covering him and if you put it up high,

1124
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: which Anthony Richarson will sold Daniel Jones. He can make

1125
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: plays on the ball and toughness is great. I think

1126
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the one knock on him where people thought that he

1127
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: was you know, in like a normal draft year, is

1128
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 1: he like really, he was clearly one of the better

1129
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: players in this draft. Now this draft was not viewed

1130
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: as great. You know, he's not I would call he's

1131
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: not the most fluid athlete in space. That's why the

1132
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: Bears took the dude from Michigan who's much more I

1133
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: would say, just in terms of like change of direction

1134
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and fluidity making a guy miss, and just just fluidity

1135
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: to his movement. You know, Tyler Warren. I don't want

1136
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: to call him stiff, but in part of it, he's

1137
01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: just I mean, Loveland's actually pretty big too. But yeah,

1138
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a good player. I thought

1139
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: about this. I don't know if it was yesterday, maybe

1140
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, because I saw something on

1141
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: TV that, like, think about the Colts basically have two

1142
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: guys competing for their career in Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.

1143
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: If Daniel Jones doesn't win the job, he's gonna be

1144
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: a backup for the rest of his career. If anything,

1145
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Richard doesn't win the job, like his starting career with

1146
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: the Colts doesn't mean he won't start again because Daniel

1147
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: Jones can get injured, but he's done. And I was

1148
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: watching Schrager was on McAfee today and he's like maybe

1149
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:47,479
Speaker 1: Pat said this, and he's right. The locker room's gonna

1150
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: know before it ever gets announced, like they'll just know.

1151
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,919
Speaker 1: But like it's a true like one of these guys

1152
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: is gonna win the job. And it's clearly like Anthony Richardson,

1153
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: you're not getting the benefit of doubt with your OW

1154
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: with your GM and your coach, and Dan Jones really

1155
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: has nothing to lose.

1156
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 3: So.

1157
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's not the ideal spot for Tyler Warren

1158
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: to go. It's not exactly quarterback friendly, like you put

1159
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren on the Chiefs if you told me Tyler Warren,

1160
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: like the Colts have a rough year because the quarterback play,

1161
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: and Tyler Warren doesn't have a very productive year, it

1162
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: might not be his fault if you put Tyler Warren

1163
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs or the Bills like i'd expect like

1164
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy catches. Do you think these highly competitive

1165
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: billionaire owners would send in mercenaries at the Olympics from

1166
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: random countries to target and injure division rival star players.

1167
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Sounds wild, but Jerry Jones paying some poor athlete from

1168
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: Russia two hundred k to take out the knees of

1169
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: aj Brown seems believable, considering the money and reputation on

1170
01:05:53,080 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: the line. For as crazy and believable as most stories

1171
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: would potentially be when it came to the NFL, Like,

1172
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: you could give me some hypothetical and it could be

1173
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: the most far out thing you've ever said, and it'd

1174
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: be pretty easy to kind of come to grips like, yeah,

1175
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: I can see that happening. I think this is I

1176
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: see what you're saying. If you got kind of think

1177
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 1: you get a kick out of league, so you would

1178
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: be risking your franchise. Now again, it's like sometimes I

1179
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: have buddies in business. It's like they could force us

1180
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: to sell. Well, if like your business is worth a

1181
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: lot of money, yeah, it sucks to have to sell

1182
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: your business, but if you're selling it for millions of dollars,

1183
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: it's not like they're just seizing your assets. So even

1184
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: if they force an owner to say sell, I mean, hell,

1185
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: Donald Sterling got two billion dollars, but I think it

1186
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: would be immediate expulsion from the league. I also think,

1187
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: for as cutthroat as some of these guys are, that

1188
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: feels pretty egregious. The other thing is, how would you

1189
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: let's say you're the owner in this situation and you

1190
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: want to take out a division rivals wide receiver. How

1191
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: do I get in contact with the Ronnie Lot of Spain?

1192
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: And how can I trust that he won't say a word.

1193
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: It's always my issue, like and I listen. I'm a

1194
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory guy. I believe or think things are believable.

1195
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: But also sometimes it's like, wouldn't enough people have information

1196
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: that some of this stuff would leak out? I'm like, well,

1197
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: they'll kill you, They will kill you and your family

1198
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: will it? Maybe maybe they will, I don't know. I

1199
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: think it'd be hard to get to a circle of

1200
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: trust even if you because to me, if you would

1201
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: be willing to do this, I mean it would be

1202
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: the most scumbag move in the history of moves. How

1203
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: would you feel comfortable that it would never get out?

1204
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: Because if it ever got out, I think it would

1205
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: be hard to ever because ultimately, like kill the head,

1206
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: the body will die. The Saints bounty, like welcome to

1207
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: the football. It's like, wait, he's got a hit, hurt ankle,

1208
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: go after the ankle. It's like part of sports.

1209
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 3: Now.

1210
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: You could argue they crossed the line. I think that

1211
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: was a little overblown. But if you paid some dude

1212
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 1: from like Russia to take out your rival's player, be

1213
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: a tough look if you got caught. Question for the back,

1214
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: what's the ceiling for Drake Man and the Patriots? I mean,

1215
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: I think he's really talented and vrabel is a good coach,

1216
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: But are we sure McDaniels is the OC for him?

1217
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: In a skill set? They always wanted a mobile quarterback.

1218
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: You know. Part of what they tried to get with

1219
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo in twenty fourteen was a guy that had

1220
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: just more This is a much better foot athlete that

1221
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: you could get on the move like that just wasn't

1222
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: part of Tom's game the last ten plus years. I mean,

1223
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 1: he never was a great athlete relative to NFL standards.

1224
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: But you see some clips of Tom and like, oh six,

1225
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: like he could move around much better. He was not

1226
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: doing any of that from like fourteen fifteen on right.

1227
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: He was true pocket quarterback. If he had the move,

1228
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: he's hitting the ground. So I think they aspired to

1229
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 1: get that and they never did well. Part of aspiring

1230
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: to do that, I bet Josh was like, well, I

1231
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: got a bunch of plays that I can run with him.

1232
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I do think that marriage something

1233
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. I think a lot of

1234
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: people around the Patriots felt like he wanted a couple

1235
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: guys couldn't get them, wanted Tommy Reese. He couldn't get

1236
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: them from Cleveland obviously, Arthur Smith not available. Was this

1237
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: forced on him by Craft because they've never worked together?

1238
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 1: You know, just is was it his first choice? Was

1239
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: it one of those like you know, it's one of

1240
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: those things that either with a parent or a boss

1241
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: like is this really worth fighting? This guy's good? But

1242
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 1: would he be my first choice? Is gonna be weird.

1243
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:15,719
Speaker 1: Josh is desperate to get back involved. Crafts love Josh Josh,

1244
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: and in fairness, Josh is incredible offensive coordinator for them.

1245
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't want to compare. I think

1246
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Herbert has a better arm, but just in terms of

1247
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: what kind of that type skill set, I wouldn't call

1248
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: him like Josh Allen running, but he definitely can move

1249
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 1: and run. He's got an above average arm, so I

1250
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: think he'd be like a hybrid quarterback. But he's like

1251
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: the modern day version of what pocket quarterbacks are because

1252
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: they don't exist anymore. So he is just the modern

1253
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: day quarterback. Six', four can, move big. Arm is he good?

1254
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: ENOUGH i don't. KNOW i Mean Nick saban a couple

1255
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: years ago wanted to give him a couple million dollars

1256
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: to transfer At North caroline and he turned it. Down

1257
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: hard to judge him last year Like caleb because it

1258
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: was such a shit. Show, okay last. Question we'd love

1259
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: to hear your answer on this THAT i sometimes stay

1260
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 1: up at night thinking about who is the biggest what

1261
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: if THROUGHOUT nfl. History WHAT i mean by that is

1262
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: who had a terrible injury or got, drafted, traded to

1263
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: a career destroying franchise that you think would have Been

1264
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: hall Of fame player, OTHERWISE i appreciate your. Time, well

1265
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: it's a good. QUESTION i would say that this guy's

1266
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 1: in The hall Of. Fame But Terrell davis's career was

1267
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 1: basically three seasons, long and as a rookie in the

1268
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: sixth round he had eleven hundred yards seven. Touchdowns for

1269
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: the next three seasons and they win Two Super. Bowls

1270
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 1: he has fifteen hundred, yards seventeen hundred, yards two thousand,

1271
01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: yards thirteen, touchdowns fifteen, touchdowns twenty one. Touchdowns he also

1272
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: could catch forty nine, catches thirty six, catches forty two,

1273
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: catches twenty five. Catches usually at running, back you're not

1274
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 1: gonna play fifteen. Years but let's just say he stays

1275
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: healthy for. EIGHT i, mean do we look at him

1276
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, Know Adrian. Peterson does he go on

1277
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: to be one of the best running backs in the history?

1278
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: LEAGUE i mean he. Was he had probably one of

1279
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: the better three, game three year stretches IN nfl. History

1280
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: so what was? That where's touchdowns twenty one, Thirteen so

1281
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: that's forty thirty four forty four almost fifty touchdowns through three.

1282
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: YEARS i, mean he's a. Monster SO i would say

1283
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: the other one would Be Kurt. Warner this is a,

1284
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: positive but what If Trent green doesn't get, Injured like

1285
01:12:54,880 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: If Trent green doesn't get injured And Kurt warner he

1286
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: never gets to. Play Kurt warns was in The hall Of,

1287
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: fame won AN, mvp he won A Super, bowl went

1288
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: to Another Super? Bowl does that ever? Happen So i'm

1289
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: actually kind of thinking on the inverse Of Trent green's

1290
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: injury changed this dude that was bagging groceries, life who

1291
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: would then go on to have periods where he's like

1292
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the. League so what

1293
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: If Trent green doesn't tear his tear his? KNEE i

1294
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: think TOWARDS acl in nineteen ninety, nine think about. This

1295
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Kurt warner ninety Four Green Bay packers undrafted free. Agent

1296
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: from ninety five to ninety, seven he played for The Iowa.

1297
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:54,879
Speaker 1: Barnstormers within a couple of, years he won two. MVPs

1298
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: i forget he won in two thousand and, one the

1299
01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: year they Lost Greatest show On turf to The New England.

1300
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,560
Speaker 1: Patriots you could argue that's one of the. Craziest this,

1301
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: dude undrafted free AGENT ufl guy OR afl, Guy Arena,
