1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: The volume. 2 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 2: Well, hi everybody, welcome back, good thirty thirty five minute 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: podcast today with former NFL scout John Middlecoff, one of 4 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: the first members ever of the volume. We got some 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: great news coming up for the volume, so proud of 6 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: this media digital podcast company. We'll get to that in 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. I just got back from 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: a vacation which was five days with friends on a 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: boat in British Columbia. A little wetter than I wanted, 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: but it is an absolutely stunning part of North America. 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: In fact, I think it's the most beautiful part of 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: North America I've ever ventured into, from the waterfalls, kayaking, 13 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: the landscape, good meals, early cocktails. So it's great to 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: be back. The Herd Podcast, brought to you by Netflix. 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: Let's start with the story of the day Joe Burrow 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: pulled up rolling out right non contact injury at Cincinnati 17 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: Bengals camp today and the result is talk about a 18 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: thank God, a calf injury, a calf strain. So Joe 19 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: Burrow and I now have one thing in common in 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: our life. Two I was a quarterback awful he's a 21 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: great one, and we both had a calf strain briefly painful, 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: more annoying. The biggest concern with calf strains is often 23 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: you think it's solved, you think it's healed, you rush back. 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: But I think it happens. I don't know if dehydration 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: is a part of it, but in the Midwest and 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: during training camps, it is unbelievably hot, and we know 27 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: what's going on with climate change in America. This is 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: the hottest summer on record in the history of our country. 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: The good news is a calf strain keeps you mostly 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: out of camp, doesn't keep you out of games. It 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: would have not only changed the Bengals, but the division, 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: the conference in the National Football League. Burrow, who we 33 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: had on this podcast network last year as a guest 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: for about fifteen sixteen podcast interviews. Coming out of college, 35 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be a better version 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: of Tony Romo. Good arm, not great, good mobility, not 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: a blazer, a gamer, throw a few picks, but willing 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: to throw it into tight windows. He is a better 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: version of Tony Romo, much better. But Romo was always 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: underappreciated because he's a cowboy quarterback. We tend to beat 41 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: up on cowboy quarterbacks more than any other franchise what 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: Burrows really become and he's done it without camps. Remember 43 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: the pandemic was his first camp. Then he had an injury, 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: then there was appendectomy surgery, so he missed last year's camp. 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: Now he's going to miss this year's camp. So he's 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: never really had a full camp in four years in 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: the NFL. Nonetheless, I think what he's become is, along 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: with Patrick Mahomes, the best situational quarterback in the league 49 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: is that. I think Josh Allen's bigger, stronger, with a 50 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: better arm, and more mobile, a better athlete, but in 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: situational football, Josh can uncork some wild throws. I don't 52 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: trust Josh Allen as much in those key moments in 53 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: a football game. And I think that's really what has 54 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: separated Mahomes from everybody else. It's not just the talent, 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: it's the ability in big spot trailing late, everybody knows 56 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: you're throwing to throw pinpoint balls into tight spaces, be 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: it Travis Kelcey for Mahomes or Jamar Chase t Higgins 58 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: or Boyd for the Bengals. So Joe Burrow is going 59 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: to be fine. I was talking about this to day 60 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: at FS one, We're really lucky right now. There's obviously 61 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: enormous wealth and attention and fame heaped on young athletes 62 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: and all sports, but we don't have a single quarterback 63 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: right now. I'm talking the big namers, the stars, the 64 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: franchise guys, Lamar, Jalen, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Trevor Lawrence. We 65 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 2: don't have a pain in the ass. We got very 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: nice guys leaders often dads as coaches or a strong 67 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: guidance in their family. We got quality guy. He's running 68 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: these franchises that are mature beyond their years. I mean, 69 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: it's pretty legendary that Justin Herbert is constantly seeking ways 70 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: to avoid the media as he gets into Chargers practice, 71 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: Burrows the same way we had him on fifteen podcasts. 72 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: He wasn't scripted, but you could tell he was the 73 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 2: son of a coach, never got in the way of himself, 74 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: never took any bait if he thought it was a 75 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: question that would get him in trouble. So it's a 76 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: sigh of relief. He is one of the absolute faces 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: of the league. Joe Cool and it's a CAF strain 78 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: which are painful briefly, and then you tend to think 79 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: you're through him before you are, so sometimes you rush back, 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: but he'll be fine. The other quarterback story of note 81 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: while I was gone was Aaron Rodgers taking a thirty 82 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: five million dollar haircut for the New York Jets over 83 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: the next two years. You know, I've always questioned, not 84 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 2: necessarily Aaron Rodgers' commitment, because nobody gives back thirty five million. 85 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: Owners don't, that's for sure. But the questions I always 86 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: had about Aaron Rodgers were not about his talent, his intellect, 87 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: or his commitment. The truth was Green Bay doesn't have 88 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: an owner. There's nobody to really stand in front of 89 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: you and call you out. You're the most powerful person 90 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: only in the town, the organization, the state in Milwaukee. 91 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: I call it the Green Bay quarterback syndrome. They both 92 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: became the same guy, kind of threatening retirement, frustrated with 93 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: a franchise, not getting free agents, not having an owner 94 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: that can go out, take a big swing and get 95 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: you a guy like Stan Cronkey can do for the Rams, 96 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: or David Tepper could do for the Carolina Panthers. That's 97 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: the downside not having an owner. Sometimes you got a 98 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: call a guy. He's on the tarmac and his private jet, 99 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: his golfstream and he goes and gets Matt Stafford. That's 100 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: how it happened with the Rams. So I think for 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: both Brett Farv and Aaron Rodgers, they got tired of 102 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: Green Bay. It's not that they were too big for 103 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: the room. But it's a unique environment being a superstar 104 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: quarterback on a franchise in the smallest town in American sports, 105 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: with no owner, that can't acquire free agents on a 106 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: regular basis. So I think New York's a better fit 107 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: form actually right now. And he looks at himself, he 108 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: looks at his weaknesses and says, I got to be 109 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: more engaged with young guys. I got to stop talking 110 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: about retirement. And I can't be paralyzed if I'm not 111 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: the highest paid quarterback or second highest paid quarterback in 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: the league. The data is clear. If you're a top 113 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: two or three paid quarterback, Mahomes now is about seventh 114 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: that puts you in line to win a Super Bowl 115 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: about seventh. If you're a top two paid quarterback in 116 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: this league, you will have to sacrifice somewhere a good 117 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: tight end, a second elite corner another good interior defensive lineman. 118 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: Your franchise will have to make sacrifices somewhere. 119 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 3: As Netflix First Partnership with the NFL Quarterback is a 120 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: new docu series that takes a unique look at each 121 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 3: season told through the lens of NFL quarterbacks. For the 122 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 3: first time ever, the NFL allowed quarterbacks to be miked 123 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: for every single game of the season. Three quarterbacks, Cousins, 124 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: Mahomes and Mariota, give behind the scenes access on and 125 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: off the field. Check out the trailer for a first 126 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: glimpse at what we're gonna see. 127 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: Netflix is giving you exclusive access to see what it 128 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: takes to be an NFL quarterback. I'm here all day 129 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: see Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota, and Super Bowl champion Patrick 130 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 4: Mahomes balance all the pressures that come with the toughest 131 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: job in sports. 132 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: The quarterback is more about the mental sypeist. 133 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 4: From game day to home life. See these quarterbacks like 134 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 4: you've never seen them before. 135 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: But we're on again. 136 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: Quarters Quarterback only on Netflix Watch now. 137 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: I started my show today talking about Sean Payton. You 138 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: know this as a former NFL scout under Andy Reid 139 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Eagles is that you don't generally in 140 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: any industry call people out right, Like there's an unspoken 141 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: sort of rule in the NFL you don't call people out. 142 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: How shocked were you that Peyton said that's one of 143 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: the worst coaching jobs ever. He took a shot at 144 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: the GM. Who's still in the building. Were you surprised 145 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: by it? 146 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? To me, that's the biggest headline. I was actually 147 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: assuming that they might have a GM turnover after the 148 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: draft and Peyton survived. You know, when you factor in 149 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: how much money they gave Sean, I would say it 150 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: would be shocking if it was if it was Andy 151 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: Reid or Bill Belichick, I would say, when you look 152 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: at Sean Payton's history, he's a parcels guy. 153 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 3: You know. 154 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: Back in the day, coaches, I would say, like in 155 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: the nineties in the eighties, much more open to rip 156 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: a player or fellow coach, you know, an opposing coach publicly. 157 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: I remember as a kid, Phil Jackson growing up in 158 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: the northern California area used to talk shit about Sacramento 159 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: when the Lakers and Kings were going at it. But 160 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, the social media aid and just 161 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot of coaches is not necessarily their personality. It 162 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: is Shan's. The other thing is Colin It's. It is 163 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: objectively one of the worst coaching jobs. I would say 164 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: we've seen two of them the last couple of years, right, 165 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer and Nathaniel Hackett. They literally did not finish 166 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: one season. We've seen a lot of one and done coaches. 167 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: They were fired before the season ended in year one. 168 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it was all time disaster. Now Urban little 169 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: more unique, had a long resume of success while at college. 170 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: Hackett clearly, I think, and now you see in New 171 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: York was hired for one specific player and then that 172 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: player decided to sign with Green Bay, and then they 173 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: went with their second option. They were able to get 174 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: it to go. But remember when they hired the guy 175 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: to help them with the clock, like twenty four hours 176 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: into his tenure. 177 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: Like Freddy Kitchen, Steve Wilkes. I think what you're seeing 178 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: is now And I would just theorize that it used 179 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: to be that an NFL owner had a net worth 180 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: of forty million dollar, of four hundred million dollars maybe 181 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: eight hundred million. Well, now when it's nine billion or 182 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: eleven billion writing off of a coaching mistake is a 183 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: rounding air. It just doesn't matter anymore. You can write 184 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: off a forty million dollar check. And I also think, 185 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 2: and so you're seeing more of that. Coaches just say 186 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm not going to do year two. So 187 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: the other thing that's happened is the league is now 188 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: so defined by the quality of your quarterback. Is that 189 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: if Brian Flores has a relationship issue with Tua, you're out. 190 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: People can't you can't have it. So I mean, if 191 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: Belichick did not have his legacy, that Matt Patricia move 192 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: would get him fired. So we're seeing we're seeing wealthier owners. Also, 193 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: that wealth creates a belief that I'm worth this much money. 194 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: You need to win immediately. That's why when Dion Sanders 195 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: flushes out Colors program, he's not stupid. Dion realizes if 196 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: he doesn't win by year or two, he's gone. You 197 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: got to get guys out now. And it's not the 198 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: most graceful way to do it, but kind of there's 199 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: the door, see your way out. And I think in 200 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: the NFL, like when Sean Payton calls out that team, 201 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: what he's doing is he is sending a message to 202 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: the locker room it wasn't Russell's fault. He's still our guy. 203 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: And the second thing is he's letting everybody in the 204 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: building know because remember what he did when he first 205 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: got there, John, he changed lunch, he changed you know, 206 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: team lunch got changed. He wouldn't let certain people into 207 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: certain areas that Nathaniel Hackett did so, and I'm sure 208 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: some of them grumbled. And so now he's reinforcing his 209 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: theory or his system on this. You can't hang out 210 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: with the players, you can't have your kids around the building, 211 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: no interns in meeting rooms. So he's reinforcing it over 212 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: and over. That was a disaster. We're doing the opposite 213 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: of that. So I think sometimes, you know, he's a 214 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: I've had dinner with him before, I've had coffies with him. 215 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: Sean is very comfortable with the truth and confrontation, and 216 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: not everybody is. So I think it's just his way 217 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: of verbally cleaning out the room, starting over, nuking the 218 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: old culture. 219 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: Well, the other thing is, obviously he got paid a 220 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: lot of money, you know, eighteen million dollars or whatever. 221 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: He was already really rich, So he did not take 222 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: this job because he needed the money. He take this 223 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: job because he wants to have success. And like you 224 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: said on the flip side, with these owners, even Mark 225 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: Davis and Mike Brown have money now, but this family 226 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: has an unlimited amount of money. And if you do, 227 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: if he does not win quickly, like within the first 228 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: three years, if he's not making the playoffs, they will 229 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: just move on, you know. So it's like, and what's 230 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: he going to do? Get a third job? You know, 231 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: this could be it. This is an awesome opportunity. He 232 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: knows it. They got some talent. It's to me, it's 233 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of a throwback to the guy that 234 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: taught him is Parcel. This is a Parceales type move. 235 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: We just don't see it that often anymore, right, And 236 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: part of it is the best coach in the league. 237 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: And I'd even say the younger guys McVay, Kyle, they 238 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't do this, but Sean is not cut from that cloth. 239 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: So I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish we had more 240 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: of it, Colin. 241 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm never going to complain when people give 242 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: me content. I mean, it was funny having twenty different 243 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: visits with Sean Payton, great storyteller, love loves to tell 244 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: him and he's great at it. And I remember telling 245 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 2: the staff I'm like, and our bosses at Fox, I'm like, 246 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 2: he's going too fast upstairs to sit in the sidelines 247 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: like he you can take a year or two off, 248 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: but tech and pro football in this country, like they 249 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: change every two years, like something's changing, rules are changing, 250 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 2: a sensibility, a culture. Sean was just too smart, too current, 251 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 2: too competitive to sit in the sidelines for years. Remember 252 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: Parceles did broadcasting for a brief stint, then he went 253 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: off to coaching again. Some people like Bill Kauer, they 254 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: almost pivot to a different lifestyle. Like Sean. Shawn's got 255 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: one speed. It's zero to sixty. I don't care if 256 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: he's golfing, dinner, having a bottle of wine. He's competing 257 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: the story talent. He's into it. So I and I. 258 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: You know, Denver is one of those I've said before, 259 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: it's the Steelers with mountains. It's like Pittsburgh. For most 260 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: of my life, Denver's been well owned, well run, unbelievable 261 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: loyal fan base, great local marketing. It's really been a 262 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: very stable organization since like the seventies. I remember the 263 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: Orange Crush defense in Craig Morton, but you know, they 264 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: went through a post Lway kind of a whole. But 265 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: I always feel like Denver for pro athletes is a 266 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: really good free agent market. Peyton Manning moved there. I 267 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: mean he grew up in the South, Peyton Manning moved 268 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: his family in his business operations the Denver a suburb. 269 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: I think you can get a roll in there pretty quick. 270 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: I just have a hard time believing Geno Smith is 271 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: now better than Russell Wilson. I'm just not gonna believe that. 272 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: I think Russell bounces back and Geno Smith probably a 273 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: little bit pulls back and we get a truer picture 274 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: of what that trade's about. 275 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: Well, that's one of those, you know, just the in 276 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: a vacuum, Gino Smith. A lot of guys later on 277 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: in their career and any sport can have a bounce 278 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: back year or can have a one off year where 279 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: you go, see, this is what the guy could have done. Well, 280 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: then do they sustain that for five years? Like rich 281 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Gannon resurrected his career with the Raiders and had an 282 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: awesome stretch. Most guys have the one off season and 283 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: then kind of you know, resort back to what they 284 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: maybe a better version of what they were, no longer 285 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: a backup. But is he gonna throw thirty touchdowns every 286 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: season for the next three seasons and we're going to 287 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: look up he threw one hundred touchdowns over however, you know, 288 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: fifty games, probably not right. And that's another team. A 289 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: lot of teams, you know, Denver needed a shake up, 290 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: They needed a Bill Parcell come in and just rattle 291 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: some cages. Then there are the teams like the Giants 292 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: in Seattle, which got to Lions a little bit last year, 293 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: got to really sneak up on people. The Chiefs have. 294 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: Everyone's been coming at them for five years and they 295 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: hit right back, no problem. Belichick inviety for twenty years. 296 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting how some of these teams, especially in 297 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: the NFC, which we all kind of agree is not great. 298 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: Is Seattle's just a lock to win ten games? Drafted 299 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: pretty good, but like the quarterback, he's just gonna sustain 300 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: the Giants a lot of pressure. Now a lot of 301 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: guys getting paid. Is our team really that talented? Do 302 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: they benefit from winning some of those close games? Coaches good, 303 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: but it's a lot more difficult to just win on 304 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: a yearly basis when you do not have Joe Burrow, 305 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. I mean, you got to be 306 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: good in a lot of different phases. What makes the 307 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Niners they've been pretty lucky because they haven't had to 308 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: pay a big time court. They're elite at all these positions, 309 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: so they can kind of overcome it, right, But it's 310 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: if you do not have a star quarterback, you usually 311 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: don't just rattle off double digit wins every single season. 312 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: Was interesting when Peyton took a shot at Nathaniel Hackett 313 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: that Robert Sala actually went out and responded to it. Yeah, 314 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 2: and you know Sala, he's just this good looking alpha, 315 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: kind of a movie star, kind of a tough guy. 316 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: And he responds like he he likes the microphone. He's 317 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: not shy. I don't know if that's he's very much 318 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: a modern coach. He's very much a defensive coach like Tomlin, 319 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, Robert Sala emotional like they're they're they emote 320 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 2: and they're not afraid to tell you what they think. 321 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: I think sometimes offensive coaches can be a tad more calculated, 322 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, in the off season, In 323 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: the season a little more calculated game playing. You know, 324 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 2: offense is a lot about hiding what you're doing. Defense 325 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 2: is manhood, alpha, blowing stuff up, getting in your face. 326 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: Here we come, this is what we this is what 327 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 2: we do. Solid firing back at Peyton because they play 328 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: each other in like week five, Did that surprise you? No? 329 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: Because I do think you have to stick up for 330 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: your guy, and they're kind of the up and coming team. He's, 331 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: like you said, a swagger guy. I had someone in 332 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: that organization though that tells that told me last year, 333 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: or maybe even before the season started, they were really 334 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: impressed with when things were going shitty, how well he acted, 335 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, pretty even keel in the building, you know, 336 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: on a weekly basis when times were tough. But I 337 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: think when you make a trade like this, there's just 338 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: a lot of tangible pressure. One thing with the Jets, 339 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: they got a lot going on, right, You have cameras there, 340 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: you got people talking about them. They're in you could argue, 341 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: on paper the best division in football. You have a 342 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: coach in GM at this season, let's say they went 343 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: seven games, like, are they gonna? Would they get fired? 344 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: It's pretty hot in there, given what they just invested 345 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers, though I do think the Aaron Rodgers 346 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: it was almost like Aaron kind of forced his way there. 347 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: Then he did like a three month onboarding process where 348 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: he interviewed them, right, he was kind of feeling them out, 349 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: seeing it, and then he came away impressed to do 350 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: that contract renegotiation. So to me, that's a pretty big 351 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: win for the organization. It makes them look like he 352 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: views them as competent. Now, ultimately, you've got to get 353 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: it done come Sunday. But I understand why Robert Sla 354 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: went to that, but he also said that we didn't 355 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: hire Nate Hackett because of Aaron Rodgers. 356 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: Like bullshit. 357 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: You know, Date Hackett now has been hired, and I 358 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: don't know the guy UC Davis guy I grew up 359 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: in Davis. I root for him, but let's be real. 360 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: He's gotten his last two jobs. A big reason is 361 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: because of Aaron Rodgers. And there's nothing wrong with that. 362 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, being good friends, right Lebron James or Steph 363 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 1: Curry or Aaron Rodgers is pretty good professional move if 364 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: you're a coach, right the you. 365 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: Know, I thought it was not just a shave, It 366 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: was almost a realignment of priorities. When Aaron took a 367 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: thirty one million dollar pay cut, like not a lot 368 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 2: of owners are doing that. I did think, and it 369 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: makes sense. Data tell you can't be the highest paid, 370 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: second highest paid quarterback in the league. You're not gonna 371 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: win Super Bowls. Mahomes is now close to seventh, I think, 372 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: or something thereabouts. I've moved a bunch in my career, 373 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: and every time I move, I try to assess what 374 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: I was bad at. You know, was I too reckless here? 375 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 2: Was I a good teammate there? And I thought, you know, 376 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 2: every stop, I've tried to get better at something I 377 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 2: was not very good at. And you know, if this 378 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: is my last stop, this is what I am. But 379 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: I do think when you move, you kind of look 380 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,239 Speaker 2: in the rear view mirror and you go, all right, 381 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: let's get better at stuff. Some out of your control, 382 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: some very much in your control. So I do think 383 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: that it feels like Rogers, he's not talking about retirement. 384 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: It's more about commitment, much more connected to young players 385 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: in camp. And the truth is, like I always felt 386 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: like in Green Bay, like how much he made mattered, 387 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: Like it felt like it was a thing. Now and 388 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: you know New York, he's going to get taxed to 389 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: a much higher level. So it's not just a thirty 390 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: one million dollar tax or a thirty one million dollar 391 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: pay cut. He's losing a lot of money. Smart move, 392 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: unique move. What did you make of it? 393 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: Well, I think he deserves credit from the sense that 394 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: we can We talk a lot about men maturing right 395 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: in our twenties, we grow a lot. I've grown a 396 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: lot personally in my thirties, and you know, these last 397 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: couple of years, it felt like, God, this is getting 398 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: a little weird. And he kind of feels like a 399 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: different guy right now when I watched this press conference yesterday, 400 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: just different vibes than he had. And it might have 401 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: just been, like you said, you're in a place things 402 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: aren't going well, self created. That wasn't all Green Bay's fault, 403 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: but it was just time for a divorce. And then 404 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: he comes here. He has a lot on the line. 405 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: You know, legacy why sometimes is stupid, but he wants 406 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: to be considered because really, his contemporaries right in the 407 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: last fifteen twenty years are Brady and Manning. He's never 408 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: gonna kept Tom. But like he goes to a new place. 409 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: Peyton went to Denver, resurrected him and got him to 410 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: multiple Super Bowls in one to one and we view 411 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: Peyton even in a higher regard than we already did, 412 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: and we held him pretty high. Can you imagine if 413 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: he just goes Joe Montana and makes like the Chiefs 414 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: immediately good like he goes to the Jets and they're 415 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: just AFC Championship Game, super Bowl. Even if he doesn't 416 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, it'd be a big, big moment 417 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: for him because he would get more credit than Sala 418 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: or Joe Douglas or the Johnson family. He has a 419 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: lot on the line here. And I back to what 420 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: I said about his onboarding process. I think he's seen 421 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: they have a lot of talent. He likes the vibe, 422 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: I think New York Whatever's fitness personality in this thirty 423 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: nine year old version of Rogers, and he knows like 424 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: a short, short lived time like more often than the not, 425 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: he's or he's not going to play the forty five. 426 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: So really it's probably the next forty eight year, you know, 427 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: two years maybe three, but retired the retirement conversation. He's 428 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: all in on these couple of years and just knows 429 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: that for him personally, you can look at it being 430 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: a little selfish even though he's doing the right thing. 431 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: He could really really change the perception of the way 432 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: we discuss him. 433 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I also think, and Mahomes gets this, is 434 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 2: that if you're a top ten quarterback ever, and if 435 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 2: he went to New York and had great success, he 436 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: probably he squeezes into that top ten ever because I 437 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: think that you know that top ten comes down to 438 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: Super Bowls production. I mean, some old guys are in it, 439 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: Bradshaw because of the Super Bowls, but it's a different time. 440 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 2: Montana's obviously in it, Brady's in it, Peyton, Manning's in it, Elway, 441 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: Marino Breeze. It's a crowded space. Mahomes is now absolutely 442 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: in it. 443 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: For sure. 444 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: It's getting to be a crowded space if you're a 445 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 2: top ten quarterback ever, And I think Mahomes sees this. 446 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: There's a lot of money post football. There's a lot 447 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 2: of fame. I mean, Farre's career is not I mean, 448 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 2: Brett's a bit of a punch line. Things have gotten 449 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 2: ugly in Mississippi regarding some charity and his involvement, like 450 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: it didn't end well. There was the controversy with the 451 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: Jets of that terrible interception. As a member of the 452 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 2: Vikings in his last couple of years in Green Bay, 453 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: he was difficult. Like I look at how and I 454 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: think about this all the time in my career. It's 455 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: hard to end. Like Johnny Carson last week on the air, 456 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 2: You're great, last great show. Bye, I'm going to play tennis. 457 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 2: That is so rare. It's like it's choppy for everybody. 458 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: It was choppy for Michael Jordan, it's choppy for Tiger Now. 459 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: I do think Aaron three years in New York, a 460 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: couple of AFC Championship appearances, win or lose, I think 461 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 2: we look at him different. I think it keeps him 462 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: in the top ten all time. Yeah. 463 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: I remember texting with Richard Sherman when he was on 464 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, and he remember he played a 465 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: role in negotiating the latest CBA and there were so 466 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: many areas with the owners were fighting, And one thing 467 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: I remember him telling me is you don't really make 468 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: any money for playoff games, right, Everyone on the team 469 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: in a playoff game, Drew Brees or Tom Brady makes 470 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: the same as the fifty third guy. I was like, yeah, 471 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy when you think about it, but 472 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: if you have success in the playoffs. Travis Kelsey talked 473 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago, saying he was underpaid. 474 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: His marketability the rest of his life has changed because 475 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: we view him as a winner, as a great player. 476 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: Look at Draymond right, could have got more money, knows 477 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: where his bread's buttered, and he, for the rest of 478 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: his life will be viewed as one of the great winners. 479 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: And that's how we talk about these sports. James Harden 480 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: is going to have all this money, but once his 481 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: career is over, no one's going to care. Not a soul, right, 482 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 1: So he Darryl Morriy. So Aaron does this. He did 483 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: everything he could possibly do in Green Bay, and it 484 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: was clearly going down the wrong road. I think it 485 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: would be disproportionate how much credit he'll get if let's 486 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: just say this year they are in the AFC Championship 487 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: game relative to the coordinator, relative to the head coach, 488 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: relative to anyone in that organization. Besides maybe like a 489 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, if he becomes a star, Aaron will get 490 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: of the pipe chart. I would say like eighty five percent, 491 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: especially now with the pay cut. And I also think 492 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: pay cuts I heard you talking on your show earlier today. 493 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't care how rich a guy is. It's rare 494 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: to just most humans do not give money back. But 495 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: you're talking a level like Aaron's worth hundreds of millions 496 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: of dollars just on the field, let alone what he's 497 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: made off the field. It's not ultimately as crazy to 498 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: his lifestyle. But I do think it sets the tone 499 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: in the organization. It really is a Tom Brady like 500 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: MoU It's something Tom would have done. Tom did it right, 501 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: and I think it kind of sets the tone for 502 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: the organization. It makes it Robert solids job easier, especially 503 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: if they can coach him hard. If he's being more 504 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: relatable to younger players, like you said, which has been 505 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: something that's been a bugaboo in Green Bay. He just 506 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't work with him. It was nowhere to be found. 507 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: He was around in the off season. He can say 508 00:26:53,119 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: it's overrated all he wants, but it clearly matters. 509 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: Summer is heating up in so is pro baseball.

Colorado 526 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 2: announced they'll be leaving in twoenty twenty four, back to 527 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: the Big twelve. USC and UCLA are leaving the conference. 528 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: The PAC twelve is eroding quickly. The Big twelve currently 529 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: has a better TV deal than the Big PAC twelve does, 530 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: and that's a big part of it. You get guaranteed payouts. 531 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: I thought the misstep by the PAC twelve still searching 532 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: for a partner. I thought the real misstep. If I 533 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 2: would have been the PAC twelve commissioner a year ago, 534 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: I would have gone to Apple and said, listen, we 535 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: know if we put them on as streaming service, we're 536 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: not going to have the size of audience. But we 537 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: have so many of our graduates at our school Stanford, Washington, 538 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 2: cal USC UCLA, so many Apple employees probably went to 539 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 2: PACK twelve schools. We feel like you represent our values 540 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 2: and our vision. I would have gone to Apple and said, 541 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: you know, we'll sign a contract with you. We can 542 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: still have games Notre Dame, USC, Washington, Michigan, Oregon, Oklahoma. 543 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 2: We can still play games out of conference for schools 544 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: to make money aligning with other big name schools. But 545 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: I would have gone because I think Apples a progressive company. 546 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 2: I think the PAC twelve's always been sort of a 547 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: leader in offenses. Chip Kelly's sort of changed the way 548 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: offenses maneuvered in college, briefly in pro but back to college, 549 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: and I think they got a little precious. And I 550 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 2: told my PAC twelve friends this for years. There's too 551 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: much to do in Seattle there's too much to do 552 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: in the fall in Los Angeles, in San Francisco and Phoenix. 553 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: We're not Starksville, Mississippi. We're not Lubbock, Texas. We're not 554 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: you know, Madison, Wisconsin, which is a fun city. 555 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: Athens, Georgia. I mean, you can name off all of 556 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: that time. 557 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: We have pro sports in a lot of our Pac 558 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: twelve cities. We have perfect summer and fall weather. The 559 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: bottom line is our stadiums aren't full. We don't care 560 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 2: as much, and that's okay. We could have taken advantage 561 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: of the one thing the West has the Midwest and 562 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: South doesn't. Tech juggernauts and I would have aligned myself 563 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: as a commissioner with an Apple and just said, we 564 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 2: don't care if we get lost in streaming. Your vision 565 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: is how we view US academic progressive, sort of left leaning. 566 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 2: They didn't do it. They've been a little finicky, and 567 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: I think they're in danger of the conference dissolving. Yeah. 568 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: I think it's and I think it unofficially died years ago. 569 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: The West Coast college football has never had anything in 570 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: common with the SEC. Stanford, for that, Harbaugh and then 571 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: into David Shaw was constantly a top eight program in 572 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: the country. I mean sometimes top three or four, and 573 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: they'd get struggled to get ten thousand people. And you 574 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: can't be like, well, no one in northern cares. No 575 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: one in Northern California cares about football. The forty nine 576 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: was one of the biggest brands, you know, so people 577 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: love football in California pro football. But I think three, 578 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: four or five years ago under Larry Scott, it just 579 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: felt like they didn't care. Now Oregon cared, usc in 580 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: theory cared, some of the programs carred, but as a whole, 581 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: as a partnership, it never felt like the Big ten, 582 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: which I would say academically is pretty forward thing. I mean, 583 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: they got powerhouse programs. 584 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 2: Michigan has a great academics conference. 585 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: It never felt like sports wasn't a major priority as 586 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: a whole, right, and they and they just kept they 587 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: viewed themselves as an equal to the SEC, even at 588 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: times when they weren't. And they thought like that in 589 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: the Pac twelve under Larry and it's not all his fault. 590 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: The presidents just did not and they got lapped. And 591 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: now Lewis Hamilton is not in there, they can't catch up. 592 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: There's too much money, that everything's changed. You could all 593 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: argue Colorado whatever, go back to the Big twelve, like 594 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: that's not the end of the world. But the moment 595 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: usc and it wasn't just that day they left. Clearly 596 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: they had realized this is not going to work. What 597 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: does Oregon and Washington do though, because you know, Oregon 598 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: truly cares. They just gave their coach a raise, which 599 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: I would imagine part of that is like, hey man, 600 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: we would stay here for a little bit, We'll figure 601 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 1: this out. Is it inevitable that because my theory is 602 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: that we're just going to head to AFC, NFC, Big ten, 603 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: SEC some semblance of that, where it's just basically two 604 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: huge conferences and then they both meet up in the 605 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: playoffs twelve fourteen teams or whatever like the NFL. It 606 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: feels like where we're headed. I know the Big twelve 607 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: is creating this, but don't they end up just bleeding 608 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: with some of the top ACC teams? Is the major 609 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: Power five is just in two separate conferences all most 610 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: like the National Football League. 611 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: Well, I think Washington and Oregon could eventually be invited 612 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 2: to the Big Ten. They will not get a full 613 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: television share they'll probably get half a share, which is 614 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: still more than the PAC twelve would have paid them. 615 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: I think they want in now, and I think the 616 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 2: Big ten is weighing the options. And do they need 617 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 2: Washington and Oregon. They're not vibrant recruiting areas. Seattle's a 618 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 2: big market, Oregon's got great branding. I think Washington and 619 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 2: Oregon do have large loyal followings. They sell out their 620 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 2: home games. Both have been in national championship games Huskies 621 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: have won, so I think they have value. 622 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: Both are really good right now, you know, top fifteen 623 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: twenty programs. 624 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a bummer, but you know, for years 625 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: and years when I my loyalty to the West Coast, 626 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 2: I've told my friends, guys, I've been to SEC stadiums, 627 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 2: I've been to the Big ten. There's less to do 628 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 2: in those small geographical footprints. And I'm sorry Madison, Wisconsin 629 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 2: and ann Arbor, Michigan and Columbus Ohio. They care more 630 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 2: than San Francisco in LA What do you want me 631 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: to say? They simply care more. And when USC and 632 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 2: UCLA jettison the PAC twelve after this year to go 633 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 2: to the Big Ten, I remember talking to former athletic 634 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 2: director Mike Bonnet USC, and he asked me a couple 635 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: of years ago. He said, you know, it was right 636 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 2: after they hired Lincoln Riley, right after And I said, 637 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 2: you know, and before the Big Ten pivot. I said, 638 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 2: if I was you, I would figure out a way 639 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: to get these Michigans and these Iowa's and these Nebraskas 640 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: and these penn States to do home and homes. I 641 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: don't care if I lose some of these games. Those 642 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: Midwest fans in October, they'll make the trek out here. 643 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: And then I swear to God. A month later, you know, 644 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 2: they moved, they pivoted to the Big Ten. But I 645 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 2: think both USC and UCLA, I don't think the weather's 646 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 2: that big of a deal. They got four home games 647 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: because they play each other to end the season. It'll 648 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 2: be fine, you know, USC and ucll going the road 649 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 2: four times. You know, most of those late September, October, 650 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 2: early November. There won't be blizzards. But I think USC 651 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 2: had been thinking about it for years. They were really frustrated. 652 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 2: They considered going independent, kind of doing a Notre Dame 653 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 2: a BYU for years. So I think some things are inevitable. 654 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 2: And I think the PAC twelve in that ultra competitive, 655 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 2: sort of big ten sec world, I think it was 656 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 2: inevitable the PAC twelve was gonna shrink exactly. 657 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: Maybe Col's destined to play UC Davis and Weaber State 658 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: and Oregon State and Washington State are destined to play 659 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: Fresno State, San Diego State and Boise State. That's tries. 660 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: Over time, things change, the cream rises, and everyone else 661 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: finds their niche. And that's Boise State has been very 662 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: successful for twenty years not being a power five.
