1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: What is going on. Everybody's got little cop three and

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: out podcast. I hope everyone is having a good Friday

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: Saturday weekend. UH as we come, I want to say

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: the home stretch until we get football. But as with

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: the rules, they got a test and go away and

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: come back and then they don't really practice. So this

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: training camp. As someone that's been going to train NFL

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: training camp practices, either working in the league or talking

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: about the league. Now, for I guess going on a decade,

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: and this is not gonna be a normal year. I

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: would be the first year I won't attend to uh

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: A training camp practice in that time really since Fresno State.

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Probably in thirteen years, I won't be going to a

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: training camp just because they're gonna limit the media availability.

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: It's not even worth it for me. I have some

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on how that's going to impact the league now

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: that no preseason games. The big news of the day

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: is Washington is going to keep their name. I have

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: some thoughts on that off the jump, because the the

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: outrage on Twitter and Lebron James, I don't think everyone

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: was on the same page what was gonna happen here?

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: But that's typical, especially with social media, and then of

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: course Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff is the Instagram

24

Speaker 1: and uh follow along. You can follow Twitter as well,

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: but Instagram is where the d ms wide open. Leave

00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: a question in my direct messages and you will get

Speaker 1: would greatly appreciate you leave in a review. It helps

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 1: us monetize the whole deal. Followed the podcast as well,

32
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: and uh tip my hat to you great appreciation. Let's

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: start with Daniel Snyder. I'm a little this topic doesn't

34
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: do that much for me. Uh you know, the watch

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: some of the bad teams in the Northeast, like I,

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: I just don't care about I get their big markets

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: and they get talked about. But like when the Jets suck,

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: when the Giants suck, when Washington sucks, like I, I I

39
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: really don't care. I wish they were good because I

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: like watching good football. Like I liked it when Eli

41
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Mannings teams were good, right, I like it when Rex

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Ryan's team was good. The Washington team has really not

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: been good. I guess my entire adult life, they've been

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, like the Browns of the Raiders kind of

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: a joke. But now this situation where they don't have

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: a name, and it became official today that they're just

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: gonna be called Washington Football team. I actually thought the

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: logo looked pretty good. I think sometimes in life, uh,

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: when when emotion is really high and you see it

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: so much on social media with politics, it's all emotion

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: and you know, one thing, and it hurts me some

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: places in life. But I tell my mom sometimes when

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: it gets something involved in business and I'm like, Mom,

54
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: you can't get so emotional that this is not the

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: way it works. You know, until you have something signed

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: on the bottom line on a piece of paper, they

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: can change the price. Uh. You you're allowed to negotiate.

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: You know. It's not you know that the older generation

59
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: is used to kind of the loyalty of friendships when

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: you're in business. It's just it's not like that at all,

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: that there's not much loyalty involved. It's sad, but it's

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: kind of true. Like my generation will just do business

63
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: with whoever gives us the best price. That's why Bezos

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: is kicking the ship out of everybody. He just has

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: better prices than everybody, and he'll deliver it to your

66
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: tour like it feels it says twenty four hours or

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Sometimes it feels like I press a

68
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: button and two hours later Bezos is dropping off my

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: off a package in front of my house. It's incredible.

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he runs a great service. That's why he's

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the richest man in the world. He runs one of

72
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: the best services I've ever seen in my life. Let's

73
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: just call a spade to spade. But when you see

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: the Redskins, I don't know how I got off on

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: that tangent. And they don't have a name anymore. I

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: think people thought that. I guess they're not that name anymore.

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: They're just the Washington football team that they were going

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: to come out with an official name before the season

79
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: when it was clear that they got pressured. And let's

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: be real, the reason they changed it is because money,

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: and they're huge sponsors, you know, started causing a fuss.

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Money makes things happen, nothing else does, uh, And whether

83
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: we like it or not, that's just the way the

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: world works. Is that he if he listened, he did

85
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: not want to change the name. If he would not

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: have got his hands forced, this would not have happened.

87
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to change the name and

88
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: you're forced to, you probably don't have a secondary name. Now,

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: if you live in d C and you follow this

90
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: more closely, maybe you have better information on this. But

91
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: just reading from an outside perspective, it does not feel

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: like he had two or three names lined up. If

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: this ever became inevitable. It's crazy as that sounds, because

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: it kind of felt to be inevitable. I would say

95
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: over the last five years, like we were headed that way.

96
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: But when I saw today that they were just gonna

97
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: be called the Washington football team this year and figure

98
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: it out later, I said, of course they were. Because

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: you don't want to get married to the wrong person

100
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: right now. The great part about getting married to the

101
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: wrong person. They got this thing if you have to do,

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: you can get divorced if you pick the wrong team

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: name and you label it your jerseys are that color,

104
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: you sell a bunch of merchandise. You can't really pivot

105
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years from today. And let's be real,

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: whatever they end up naming it, and I'm just gonna

107
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: go off the names that I've seen from people like

108
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: thrown out in articles or on social media, the red Hawks,

109
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the Red Tails, the Warrior or something like that, and

110
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, because do you think it's gonna be

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: universal approval if they just came out with the Washington

112
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Red Hawks. Do you think everyone would be like, oh,

113
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: that name is cool or some people like I don't

114
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: like it. I wish it was something different. Probably be

115
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be like that no matter what he

116
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: names it. And if he's not comfortable with the name,

117
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: and the Redskins brass, I guess they're not all of

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: that anymore. It's hard to do this stuff, and we

119
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: know the Washington football team doesn't have a name and

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: they can't decide on it. It's a time on their side,

121
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: like what is the rush? Why did they have to

122
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: have a new name this year, especially when their hand

123
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: was forced a month before the season. The Washington football

124
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: team and just the world washing. I think it looks

125
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: pretty good. You could argue just keep it, just call

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: it that, just be called the Washington Football Club. I

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: think they'll eventually pick a name, but if you told

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: me they didn't, just kind of like a European soccer

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: team like Chelsea. Uh, and maybe I'm wrong. I'm not

130
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: super locked in on the E p L. But it

131
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: feels like they're all soccer clubs that'd be fine with me,

132
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: because I I promise you this, whatever name they pick,

133
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: there is gonna be outrage and people that are gonna

134
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: have it might be fake, but there will be a

135
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: percentage of the population that will not like it. I

136
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: I think it's really hard. Have you ever just tried to,

137
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, pick a brand name. I think a at

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: it all the time for just different business endeavors. It's

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: it's difficult to figure out something for every Nike and Apple.

140
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: You're like, God, that's so easy. McDonald's, Taco Bell, you

141
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: just think of you know, uh, Coca Cola, Pepsi, the

142
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: titlists Callaway. I'm just looking around my desk, you know,

143
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: in my office. It's yetti like it's it's that sounds like, oh,

144
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: the yetti. That sounds really easy to figure out. It's

145
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: not Rainbow Sandals, the San Francisco Giants like it's It's

146
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: probably a little harder than you think. So, of course,

147
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Lebron James assumed they were gonna have a new name.

148
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: No they were not going to have a new name

149
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: this year, and maybe this year goes well, maybe they

150
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: get some good juju from Ron Rivera and they just

151
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: are called the Washington football team, and honestly, maybe it

152
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't be that bad. Okay, let's dive into I saw

153
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: this morning Tom Brady pulled up to one buccaneer place

154
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: or way in a truck. I just read, uh, my guy,

155
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Victa Frew covers the Raiders, said Derek Carr, and all

156
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks tested for Corona. They have to stay away

157
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: for three days, get retested Sunday, and then I think

158
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: they're allowing the facility like Monday hard to keep up

159
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: with everything that's going on right now, because typically the

160
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: preseason and the buzz of preseason helps lead into opening

161
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: you know that Thursday night game, and also the preseason games,

162
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: and for as crappy as they are, the Hall of

163
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: Fame game, the buzz of the sport. It's how we

164
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: get our juices flowing and listen. Can we overreact to

165
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: training camp practices? Of course we can, But overreaction and

166
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: creating emotion is a good thing. It's why the NFL

167
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: right now is king most sports fans could not name

168
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: every team in the bubble. The only thing they know

169
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: is like Lebron's there, all the top teams are there.

170
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: They can't name the crappy teams that also got to go,

171
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: the two teams they there's no chance they could name

172
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: like the other six seven teams on the outside. Looking

173
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,239
Speaker 1: at the Blue Jay's for example, in baseball, we're banned

174
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: from playing you know this sixty games season for bab

175
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: in Toronto. We're not allowed to play in Canada. So

176
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to play. I think in

177
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's the last thing I read again, most people don't

178
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: know because now there's part of just the pandemic coronavirus.

179
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: It's a weird year. It's I mean baseball, I got Yankees,

180
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: uh Nationals on behind me. Stand just hit a home run.

181
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: They're playing in front of no fans opening days July.

182
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: So we we got thrown a curveball in life. But

183
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: still a big part, one thing baseball had for a

184
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: long period of time is just the negotiation. So it's

185
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: kind of there's been a build up in basketball. We've

186
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: been talking about the bubble, I swear to God, for

187
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: like four months. They they've been playing this bubble and

188
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: then executing the bubble for two months, and now they're

189
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: finally I think Lebron James is playing tonight, starting to

190
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: play some like exhibition games. But for football, like O

191
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: t A s Well, it's cool stories and stuff, it

192
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: doesn't really do much. Like you still didn't get a

193
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: long extended period of time in the summer before training

194
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: camp starts. Training camp is when kind of all of

195
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: our attention starts drawing to the NFL. Who's playing well,

196
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna start, what veteran might be on the cut bubble?

197
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Who could a player that might need to be traded?

198
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: How's the first round player looking? And this is the

199
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: like I said, the first time in a long period

200
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: time that I haven't been able to go to a camp,

201
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: and my timeline during training camp on social media is

202
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: usually packed with reporters at various camps, tweeting videos of plays,

203
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: tweeting out quotes of coaches, and it helps me just

204
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: like it helps when I worked in the NFL, I

205
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: followed it really closely because you were usually as a scout,

206
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: as a pro scout, given five or six teams, where

207
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: you had to follow every single word coming out of

208
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: that camp good and bad. And now I do it

209
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: a little more, I would say liberally, and not as

210
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: intently on every team. But I'm pretty locked into the league,

211
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: and there is going to be a limited information because

212
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the media is not going to be there a camp.

213
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: There is not gonna be constant tweeting of plays and

214
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: who's looking good and who's looking especially who's looking bad,

215
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: because we know if the teams control that message, which

216
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: they are going to do this year, we're not going

217
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: to get a great feel for what is happening at practice.

218
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking even about it from a competitive standpoint,

219
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: so other teams can stay locked in. I'm just talking

220
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: about a build up standpoint for us as fans and

221
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: for people to talk about it can really dive deep

222
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: into stories, right because typically once training camp gets going

223
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: and guys are making plays, I'm able to do a

224
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: topic just based on two videos I saw coming out

225
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: of Tampa Bay Camp that is not going to exist

226
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: this year. And a huge part of that is going

227
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: to be just because training camp is kind of like

228
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: a glorified O t a s. They're not gonna be

229
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: in pads for another twenty days Whenever the veterans officially

230
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: report like, so I do wonder I've started to think,

231
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm giving everyone a pass. Basketball Baseball, Like,

232
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: once you get your sport up and running, I tip

233
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: my hat. It's this is not a far less from

234
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: an ideal situation. Baseball is doing this because they're trying

235
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: to make money. Basketball went in the bubble because they're

236
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: trying to make money. Football is doing everything desperately to

237
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: keep playing because they're trying to keep money. If money

238
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: didn't matter, you'd probably just take off the season. But

239
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: for a lot of people that don't realize money matters.

240
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: And as your business gets a lot bigger, as all

241
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: these pro sports are billion dollar, you know endeavors, you

242
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: actually have more on the line because if you go

243
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: from ten billion to like three billion, you go under. Right,

244
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: If I go from a year while I'm doing you know,

245
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand in revenue to three thousand revenue, I

246
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: can pivot pretty easily. My costs aren't is high. It's

247
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: why the NFL, their costs are absurdly high. All these

248
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: pro sports are. Just look at how much the players

249
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: and coaches are making. Those are set costs. And once

250
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: this league gets going and especially once a week one

251
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: kicks in. All those contracts on these for these players

252
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: are guaranteed of of any veteran players, which are the

253
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: majority of your high price which actually are all your

254
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: high price players, because even your your rookies, their contract

255
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: was already guaranteed the moment they signed them. But I

256
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: just wonder how this training camp is gonna feel with

257
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: and listening. I'm not trying to be like pro media,

258
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: but they do help add a huge element during camp

259
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: just with their videos, just with their tweets, just with

260
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: their articles and their videos, whether they're right or wrong

261
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: with what they see, they just create a lot of conversation.

262
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: And the one thing we know about football right now

263
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: is just the number one sport in America because we

264
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: give it a lot of attention. I know Gary V.

265
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure many of you follow him or seeing him

266
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: on social media. He's, you know, an entrepreneur, and he's

267
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: so right. The number one thing everyone is looking for

268
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: right now is attention. Whether you're a TV channel, whether

269
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: you're a media member, whether you're a pro sports league,

270
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: whether you're Nike, you're just trying to get people's attention.

271
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: If you get your attention then you can sell them

272
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: what you need to sell them. And for football, all

273
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: I need if I'm the NFL, I just need to

274
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: get you to the couch. And we've proven if I

275
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: can sit you there and you start watching, you're gonna

276
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: continue to watch. And that's what the other leagues have

277
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: really fought. Baseball has really struggled to keep attention. The

278
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: NBA definitely has. They they've lost a lot of viewers.

279
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: The one thing the NFL has kind of flexed their

280
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: muscles is they've kept gaining viewers and they obviously already

281
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: had a lot. Now they have things going for them,

282
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: and we've talked about a million times from gambling to

283
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the set of the urgency of the sport. Also, college

284
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: football probably never has been more popular than it is

285
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: right now, and it's it's always been big, but look

286
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: at look at basketball. Like a huge reason basketball I

287
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: think has fallen off the map a little bit is

288
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: college basketball is a relevant now. It's as Collins says,

289
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: it's a one month sport. It's March madness. When I

290
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: was growing up in the nineties, college basketball like the

291
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: like college football now, you paid attention because people that

292
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: were gonna be you know, first and high second round picks.

293
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: We're playing in college basketball, that's not even the case.

294
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: Hell now that like half the top ten went to Australia,

295
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: didn't play college basketball, went to Europe, went to like

296
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: random leagues. And the one reason college football is so

297
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: popular right now is because the NFL is so big.

298
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: So if I'm a Miami Dolphins fan, I was locked

299
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: into Oregon in Alabama last year, and then once l

300
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: s U started killing it, I was watching Joe Burrow.

301
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Same with the Bengals. And even if I'm like the

302
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: forty Niners, I'm keeping an eye on what position do

303
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: I need even though we're gonna draft thirty two. You know,

304
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: in theory they ended up not drafting there, but like,

305
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: we need a wide receiver? Who are the sweet wide receivers?

306
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: And it's really helped the popularity of the league. And

307
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: I just wonder you start combining if college football happens

308
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: or doesn't doesn't happen, has limited you know who knows?

309
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: I think that's it's up for debate. Uh, And it's

310
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: a major No one knows. It's it's definitely on much

311
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: shaker ground than the NFL. And then the NFL just

312
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: how different. Is it gonna look like I'm watching baseball

313
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: right now the no fans? Uh, you know, it's it's

314
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: not an ideal situation. Does it take it away from

315
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: the viewing product? I mean it's still the Yankees and

316
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: the Nationals. I mean, two elite teams. I guess the

317
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: Yankees are. We'll see how good the Nationals are. They

318
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: lost a couple of players and their best young player

319
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: got Corona. But it's just part of watching pro sports.

320
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: Are seeing people a lot of people there. That's a

321
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: huge part of college sports, right you watch college football,

322
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the stands. It's not gonna

323
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: be the case this year. So I I've just already

324
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: kind to prepare and I wonder if it's gonna be

325
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: And then we've we've heard a bunch about it. I

326
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: don't know. There's an election this fall. Uh. You know

327
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people are fighting for their economic life

328
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: right now. Unemployed could still be searching for jobs in

329
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: the fall. Could just be a weird year for the

330
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: NFL of just creating buzz, of just creating I still

331
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be the number one sport. I mean,

332
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: they're they're so far ahead of these other sports. I

333
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: I just something it's it might be a little more

334
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: difficult than you think with the limited access the no fans,

335
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: I thinks could get weird. Okay, let's get a little

336
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail bag time at John Middlecoff Instagram handle, and uh,

337
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: come in, come in firing, Come in firing. With those questions,

338
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: with changing the way the NBA views their stats help

339
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: with load management. They're the only sport that seems to

340
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: go by averages, where the other three major sports go

341
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: by totals. I know it would be a little silly

342
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: at first. Lebron's leading the league with three hundred three

343
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: thousand points this season, but if major awards in all

344
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: NBA selections which determined contracts, looked into more totals than

345
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: per game averages, players might be more likely to play

346
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: more games, especially star players who battle for those accolades. Honestly,

347
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: you're kind of onto something here, not a terrible idea

348
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: at all. You're right. In baseball, we go you hit

349
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: fifty home runs, or in football he has five touchdowns

350
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: through ten games. You're right. Seems like the NHL was

351
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: which is also an eighty two game season, doesn't have

352
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: load management issues and many would feel is a more

353
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: physically brutal sport. Star players play the last game of

354
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: the season with no implication on the playoffs if they're

355
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: still striking distance of a hundred points, fifty goals, or

356
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: other statistical milestones. Even when they're not, all players typically

357
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: play every game they can. Sorry for the super long message,

358
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: I actually think that's one of the more intelligent theories

359
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: lash ideas I've seen regarding load management to date. That

360
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Now, I think this is

361
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: always the problem, and that's why we talk about whenever

362
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: you talk about change in sports, because typically they've been

363
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: doing something UH for a long period of time. It's

364
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: hard to enact that. Players push back, historians push back

365
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: because it throws everything off. UH. I would have no

366
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: problem now. It is like the difference in baseball. The

367
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: biggest stat you're ever gonna see is right, he has

368
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: a hunter, I guess. I guess in football you see

369
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: guys with a thousand yards. That's not a normal, that's

370
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: not abnormal. So if you have I don't know ASTs now,

371
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: I I think you'd have to pull up some of

372
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: the great seasons and and pull up the totals to

373
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of compare it, because a huge thing is like, well,

374
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes through fifty touchdowns? What other quarterbacks have thrown

375
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns? And you'd be like Marino, Brady, Peyton, Manning.

376
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the list and you can kind of

377
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: equate it. Or I ran for two thousand yards as

378
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: a running back. Who else did that well? O? J. Simpson,

379
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders, Terrell Davis. There, I might be

380
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: missing something, but you get my drift, so I you

381
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: can always compare, well, I hit sixty five home runs?

382
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: Who else have done this? I think it's it's hard

383
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: when it comes to that because in the vernacular the

384
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: way we talk about it, you just know, right if

385
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: I tell you you get to forty touchdowns, you know

386
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: that's a big number. Or I tell you you get

387
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: to eight yards rushing, you know that's a big number.

388
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: If you hit, you know, two hundred hits is a

389
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: big deal in baseball, right, Twenty I know wins isn't

390
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: as big a deal in baseball for pitchers, but if

391
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: I say you've got twenty wins, that's typically a big deal.

392
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: What direction do you see the Colts going after quarterback?

393
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: After this season with Rivers on a in your deal,

394
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: does that leave the door open for Luck to return

395
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: or do you think they look to free agency in

396
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: the draft. I never say never, But if I was

397
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: a Colts fan, and I'm assuming Drew that you are,

398
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: I would not think about Andrew Luck ever coming back.

399
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: Kind of false hope there. I would probably get that

400
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: out of my mind. Andrew Luck isn't coming back. Now,

401
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe he does, but I would I would not assume that,

402
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: and I would just were we're off Andrew Luck. I

403
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: think Rivers I would lean he's he's over the hill.

404
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: Now maybe I'm wrong, but what I saw last year

405
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: was a disaster. Now clearly their offensive line is dramatically

406
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: better in Indie. Uh So maybe if the season were

407
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: to go well, he just signs another one year deal.

408
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: I could see that. Like, I don't think Rivers is

409
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: playing for another team beside the Colts. You know this,

410
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna end his career as a Colt. That would

411
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: be my educated guess. They drafted Jacob Easton from Washington,

412
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: who I think is not a very good football player. Now,

413
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: they took him in the fourth round, so by no

414
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: means to see the future. You know, you got Jacobe

415
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: under contract, but I don't know what that means. I

416
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: think this is his last year, right Uh so, yeah,

417
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: I would say draft. The good thing is there are

418
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks in the NFL right now. You

419
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: just never know, you know, as Jamie has become available

420
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: after next year, you know, Derek Carr, does that something

421
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: go off there with the Raiders? Uh, they're they're nick

422
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: Foles as he just one year in Chicago and done that.

423
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: There are band aid band aids to you know, kind

424
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: of negative award, but there are gonna be options for

425
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, teams and need quarterbacks. Big fan of the show,

426
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: hope you're doing well. My question is this, do you

427
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: think Jalen Hurts will be used in a Taysom Hill

428
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: type role? And if so, do you think there's a

429
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: large number of teams that were follow suit if this

430
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: is successful, If Jalen is gonna Taysom Hill roll, which

431
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the backup quarterback unless the backup quarterback

432
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: that they had last year, I think the kid from

433
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: is he from Indiana Northwestern who did the reason they

434
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: had to sign McCown because he broke his wrist, is

435
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback and then you can basically keep three quarterbacks.

436
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: But if Jalen is your number two, that was the thing.

437
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: Like Taysom Hill was not the number two quarterback for

438
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the for the Saints, Teddy Bridgewater was. So you could

439
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: play Taysom Hill like a football player, right, cover kicks,

440
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: running back, tight end, whatever. If Jalen Hurts is your

441
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback on game day, you can't have him out

442
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: there lead blocking for Jalen Sanders right or covering kicks.

443
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: To me, that's the biggest question more. I don't know

444
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: the answer. I don't know if the Eagles quite know

445
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: the answer, and it's not like they're gonna get training

446
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: camp to figure it out. So to me, it's gonna

447
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: come down to is Jalen their backup quarterback? If he is,

448
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: I would say no. If he's not, and he does

449
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: play a Taysom Hill type role and it works like

450
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Jalen's making plays, which he's a fantastic runner. He was

451
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: a much better runner in college than Taysom was. No,

452
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's quite as fast his tast him,

453
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: but he is shifty. He's a natural open field runner.

454
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: You could I think he could be a starting running

455
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. He's that good, So yeah, if

456
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: it goes well, whenever trends start to happen and things

457
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: start to work, I would say in football or any business,

458
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: people copy people fall suit. So yes, it would be

459
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: on the table that he changes the game a little bit. Question,

460
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: huge Steelers fan? Why is everyone giving the a f

461
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: C North to Baltimore? Steelers were a Juji fumble away

462
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: from beating the Ravens and overtime with Rudolph got knocked

463
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: out by an illegal hit and no flag by dirty

464
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas and Duck Hodges in Week five, Week seventeen,

465
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: a fumble that led to a quick Ravens TV before

466
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the half and a fumble sixteen points giveaway to make

467
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: the score look even worse. With Big Ben, Steelers have

468
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: not been under top five and offense efficiency the last

469
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: five seasons. Steelers were thirty two in that stat last year.

470
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: I feel like no one is giving the Steelers a chance,

471
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: and I really don't see the Ravens running away with

472
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: the division. Even if Ben's at his Hall of Fame self,

473
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: He's still a better quarterback than Lamar Baker in Borough.

474
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Am I biased? Well? I would throw out the Week

475
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: seventeen game. I don't think I was watching, but the

476
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Ravens had everything wrapped up right, so it was they

477
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: had nothing to play for Week five. Probably some merit

478
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: there for sure. Uh. To me, the biggest question mark

479
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: is the guy towards his elbow last year. He's thirty seven,

480
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old. He is a guy that struggled

481
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: to play in sixteen games over the last decade. Now,

482
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you. If you have a healthy quarterback and

483
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: a good quarterback on this team, they're a playoff team.

484
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: They had one of the best defense in the league.

485
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: They have one of the best pass rushes in the league.

486
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Minka is now a star. Uh. They drafted the tackling

487
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: machine from Michigan last year. When they traded up their offense,

488
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: they got good wide receivers, their offensive line solid. I

489
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: it's just a question on Ben now. It can't get

490
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: much worse. Like you said, you were dead last in

491
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: offensive efficiency last year. Mason Rudolph is not a good player.

492
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges is probably not a fifty three man roster guy.

493
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: So it's Ben could probably be fifty and he's better

494
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: than those two guys. But as we saw last his

495
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: arm space shattered. Basically he could not throw a football.

496
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: So at any moment with Ben like these these injuries

497
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: can just go and he could just be he can't play.

498
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: I like, I have a hard time seeing him play

499
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: like twelve games this season. I just do like when

500
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: we were growing up, and guys would get to his age, right,

501
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty six, it would just end. And now

502
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: guys like you know, Brady and Breeze, we think these

503
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: guys can say to the play of their forty it's

504
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: just not normal. And Ben has a lot of wear

505
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: and terror on his body. I mean, I kind of

506
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: like a Cam. Now Cam ran a little bit more,

507
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: but once Cam got to his early thirties, like he

508
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: was physically shot. And I just think you've seen the

509
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: wear and tear for those years like nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

510
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: when Ben was getting destroyed, just catches up to you

511
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: when you get to your later late thirties. I was

512
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: just wondering what the NFL becoming such an international platform,

513
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: if you could see any more European Asian players being

514
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: able to come over and really doing well in the

515
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: league without having gone through an American high school, college experience.

516
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: I would love to hear your thoughts on whether it

517
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: would be too challenging or even if it be worthwhile

518
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: for teams to look outside the US in the first place.

519
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: Love the show, well, it's one thing when a guy

520
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: is playing rugby and I have tape of him in

521
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: New Zealand or Australia moving around with a ball in

522
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: his hands or tackling people. If a guy, let's just say,

523
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: you have some big athlete in China, well what sport

524
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: unless he's playing rugby? If he's just like a big athlete,

525
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: how can I see? Like it would be difficult. So

526
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't see how you scout a guy without him

527
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: playing a sport, how he'd even come on the radar

528
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: or Europe. To me, you would just have to play rugby.

529
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: If you're playing rugby, then people can find you or

530
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: hear about you. If you're not playing rugby. To me,

531
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: it's borderline impossible for me to figure out who you

532
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: are because there, I mean hundreds of millions of people

533
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: in this world, especially in these other countries, and they're

534
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: like a billion people in China, Like I, I just

535
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how I figure out who you are.

536
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: As like a scout or a front office. If you're

537
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: not playing an athletic endeavor, I can't. I can't just

538
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: find you on the street, you know. Yeah, I mean

539
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: those stories make for like fun legendary tales, like I

540
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: think it was Tony Braxton was discovered. Maybe it was

541
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston at a gas station, just seeing like, you're

542
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be like you know, I found my

543
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: outside linebacker was just on vacation in Spain. Saw this

544
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: dude looks six too to fifty him. Yo, you want

545
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: to play football, and the guys like sure, and then

546
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: we bring him back. Any places like that just not

547
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So I think you gotta play a sport

548
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: to be discovered. I'm a big Minnesota Vikings fan. I

549
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: believe Digs and Adam Feeland were an underrated NFL best

550
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver duo in the past years. What are your

551
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on that and what do you believe that Adam

552
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Feeling and the new rookie Jordan Jefferson could do better. Well,

553
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that Justin Jefferson will not be as

554
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: good a player Stefan Dicks because the last several years

555
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: he's been one of the best deep threats in the league.

556
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: He has elite play speed. He's just an elite deep

557
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: threat target. I think he has fifteen touchdowns the last

558
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: two years he has. He's averaging over eighty catches a year.

559
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: He's just he's not maybe a top five player, but

560
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: he's he might I might not call him elite, but

561
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: he's damn good and feeling is just solid. So you

562
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: put an elite guy, a borderline elite guy with feeling

563
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: you can kick people's asses, and a good running game

564
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: and productive tight ends. When what I saw Justin jeff

565
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: person and talking to people in the league, they saw

566
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: more of a slot wide receiver than an outside guy.

567
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: So thelan who's a solid outside wide receiver, you put

568
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: with Justin Jefferson in the slot and with a couple

569
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: of tight ends or Smith and Kyle Rudolph. You know,

570
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: you can just play a little bit different. You might

571
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: not be as explosive as an offense. Like down the field.

572
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: I remember several times last year play action boom Cousins

573
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: and digs forty yard bomb touchdown. Yeah, I don't know

574
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: if that's gonna be happening as much, but you can

575
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: matriculate the ball down the field, hit ten and fifteen

576
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: yard games with those two guys. Justin Jefferson's a good player,

577
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: but is he gonna have the impact this year of

578
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: digs that has had the last couple of years. I

579
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: don't see a chance now. Can Cooks do more? I

580
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: think Madison's the backup running back. The kid they draft

581
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: from Boise State who I like. I mean, that guy

582
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: runs his ass off. You've got two good tight ends, Cousins,

583
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: solid player. I think the offense might have to be

584
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: better because their defense might not be as good. I

585
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: think someone tweeted at me, I think the Vikings are

586
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: replacing six starters on defense. That's a lot for a

587
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: team that's arguably had one of the most consistent defensive

588
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: units in the league last what six seven years. I

589
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: think Julio Jones super Bowl catch has to be one

590
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: of the best ever. It was a very critical situation

591
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: as well, and had the most skill of a catch

592
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: I've ever seen a Super Bowl. Obviously, the loss of

593
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: no one cares. What do you think do you have

594
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: any Super Bowl catches above it? I think during Corona.

595
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: I watched the second half of that game and it

596
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: was an insane catch. I would say, at my lifetime,

597
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: just thinking about it, the catch would be Santonio Holmes

598
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: that won the Super Bowl. Ben to Santonio Holmes in

599
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: the corner of the end zone, and that's you basically

600
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: a winning touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone,

601
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: keeping both feet in and like you said, you just

602
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: get remembered when you win the Super Bowl. Whether that's

603
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: fair or not, I'd say the David Tyree catch would

604
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: have to be right up there too. Now, the difference

605
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: I think Santonio Holmes and Julio Jones feels a little

606
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: more like elite skill in a natural position. I'm not

607
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: trying to diminish what David Tyree did, but I think

608
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: even die hard Giants fans can admit and listen, I

609
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: had money on the Giants. There's an elemental luck there

610
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: right that there was just I saw a clip I

611
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: was watching some Antonio Brown highlights. Antonio Brown was so good.

612
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: If you guys remember there was a Titan They played

613
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: the Titans on a Monday night football game, and he

614
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: caught a ball of fade pass against his helmet. It

615
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: was a remarkable catch. I mean, it has to be

616
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: one of the better catches the last four or five years. Like,

617
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that was luck. I think that was skilled.

618
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: I think he'd practice it. I don't know if David

619
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: Tyree had ever practiced that, But the final result, I

620
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: don't know how you I mean, you could argue to

621
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: one of the great catches in football history help beside

622
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: like William Mays and Jim Edmonds. It might be like

623
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: a top five catch of all time. I mean it

624
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: it led to the Giants win the Super Bowl and

625
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: me winning dollars, which in two thousand and seven, my

626
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: junior senior year in college might as well have been

627
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars fantastic sick win. So I'm indebted

628
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: to the guy, But I would go Santonio Holmes one

629
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: when you factor in what was on the line. Now,

630
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: it's like I hear myself say that, I don't know

631
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: how David Tyree just he did catch it, you know,

632
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: in traffic, So probably one of those. Julio is a freak. Though.

633
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say I love the podcast.

634
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm a Charger fan in the Bay Area and want

635
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts on the Chargers making the playoffs

636
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: this year. Taylor was pretty good quarterback for Buffalo, but

637
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant to think that he can take us to

638
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the FC. Cowards says, we have a

639
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: great roster, but I think but I would like a

640
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: former scouts thoughts also like Herbert, but just think the

641
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: best situation for Rickies to sit for a year. Just

642
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: think about this. How many teams can say their top

643
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: six or seven players are this good? Bosa Derwin, James Ingram, Keenan,

644
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: Allen Hunter, Henry, Mike Williams. I'm probably missing. I'm probably

645
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: missing some guys, Casey Hayward like they have elite impact players,

646
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: elite impact players, even Kenneth Murray, the guy they drafted

647
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma late in the first round. That guy is

648
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a stud. Now. Their offensive line is not great,

649
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: but that's why they want a mobile quarterback. I'm not

650
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: the biggest Tyrod Taylor guy. Uh. If Tyrod Taylor's are

651
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, like at most you're gonna win nine or

652
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: ten games, and that's if your team is loaded, and

653
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: their team is pretty loaded. But the guy hasn't played

654
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: much really the last couple of years, obviously because it's

655
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: been back up for Rivers. Are we sure that Justin

656
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: Herbert is not better than him right now? It's not

657
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: like Justin Herbert was a redshirt sophomore. He's a he

658
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: was a senior, he was a four year starter in

659
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: Oregon four years. Just put him in the game, let

660
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: him play. You got Hunter Henry, you got Keenan Allen.

661
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: You got what's the little running backs name, Austin Ekeler.

662
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: You got Mike Williams, who's a jump all wide receiver.

663
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: The decks pretty loaded for him, and he's mobile. So

664
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: unlike Rivers, who was a statute, Justin Herbert can run

665
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: and move. I would just start Justin Herbert from the jump.

666
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: I used to be a decade ago. Let the guy sit,

667
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: Let the guy sit, Let the guy sit in two thousand,

668
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: twenty four year starter, spread offenses, Let the kids play. Man.

669
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: Just just put him in there. You drafted him six overall.

670
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario, Tyrod's gotta come in if it's he's

671
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: a little overwhelmed. But I think we just have too

672
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: much information over the last four or five years. These

673
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: guys play early, and these guys succeed early. You know,

674
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: you put young quarterbacks in now. This year is a

675
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: little weird. There's no offseason, so maybe I'm being a

676
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: little too bullish, but I would have a quick trigger

677
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: finger to have Herbert in there. I don't draft guys

678
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: in the top ten at quarterback to watch him sit now,

679
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: her uh tow up is a little different to meet

680
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: to a had a dislocated hip. It could have like

681
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: ended his career. I'm being cautious with him. He couldn't

682
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: work out during the combine or whatever. Herbert's ready to roll.

683
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: I leaned throw Herbert in as quickly as possible and

684
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: get him playing. Appreciate everyone listening, Have a great weekend,

685
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: enjoy some baseball, Enjoy the weekend, enjoy the summer as

686
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: much as possibly can during these trying times. And uh,

687
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: as Hank Williams Jr. Said, let's get ready for some football.

688
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: It's right around the corner. Peace. M
