14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: conversation with Joe Burrow. He tells me what's clicking and

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: that off offensive explosion against the Falcons and he's preparing

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: for the rival Browns and Miles, Garrett, Chad Millman, Action Network,

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Sharp or Square Week eight NFL bets. By the way,

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm on fire first of all my top takes of

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: the week. So Aaron Rodgers came out on his weekly

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: guest spot on the Pat McAfee YouTube show and called

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: out it's not what I would do. I don't think

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: it's what young receivers and teammates need. Called out young

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: players making too many mistakes. He said, quote, we should

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: cut reps. It's not one or two, it's ten or

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: twelve a game. Here's the thing about Aaron Rodgers. I

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: can't beat him up too much for this because I'm

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: always praying pro athletes are honest. He had no problems

28
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: sharing his opinions right or wrong on the vaccine. He's

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: been honest about taking a psychedelic t He's honest about

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: how pisty is it his teammates. At some point, I'm

31
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: begging for everybody in sports to be this honest. I

32
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: mean I would be more political. If I was a

33
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: quarterback of a football team and I hide young players

34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: struggling with confidence, I would not call them out. I

35
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: would fall on the sword. You know, I'd blame myself.

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: I think that's the better way to grow. But that's

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: not who Aaron is. You know, he doesn't sacrifice a

38
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: lot in his life. He's thirty eight, rich, never married,

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: no kids, doesn't walk the dog or pick up crap

40
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: right like Aaron's gonna do what Aaron wants to do.

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: And I will say this, quarterbacks come in all different

42
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: shapes and sizes and styles and opinions. Aaron does a

43
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: wonderful job of providing content for shows like mine. So

44
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: though I disagree perhaps with his methods, I would like

45
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: to say I appreciate the content. It's outstanding. He is

46
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: one of the great content providers in sports. He's fantastic.

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: He's like a human TikTok. He's just making stuff happen.

48
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: I just keep flipping through Aaron Rodgers and it's this comment,

49
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: that comment, and psychedelic tea, and I hate vaccine and

50
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: here's my political thoughts. Guys, fantastic for content. Not winning

51
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: much these days, but content boom. You know. The Russell

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Wilson story is obviously interesting to me because I think

53
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: he's a really, really talented guy. But a lot of

54
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: the criticisms of Russell Wilson are he's inauthentic. Two other

55
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: players come to mind for me, two other quarterbacks. When

56
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: I hear the word inauthentic, they're labeled is inauthentic? Do Gooders,

57
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Goody two shoes, Tim Tebow and Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson,

58
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Cousins Tebow are probably the three most religious quarterbacks in

59
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: the last decade. They're labeled inauthentic, and my takeaway has been,

60
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm agnostic, but I have seen the power of religion

61
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: and the power of faith in my life from others.

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: I think religion at its best is optimistic, not pessimistic,

63
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: is hopeful, is glass half full, not snarky. For the record,

64
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers leans toward the less religious side, has struggled

65
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: with his family very religious, That's okay. I'm I'm agnostic.

66
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: I tend to be a little cynical, a little skeptical

67
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: of faith. Maybe I wouldn't be a good quarterback right

68
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: But when I hear the inauthentic claims, I heard him

69
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: for Tebow, I hear him for Russ and I've heard

70
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: him for Kirk Cousins, and I think they're just very

71
00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: faith based, very hopeful, very optimistic, and that sure beats

72
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: what I see with a lot of people out there.

73
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think snarky is great for religion. I don't

74
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: think pessimistic super cool. Russell Wilson isn't washed. You may

75
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: think he is, but I think when I watched Russell Wilson,

76
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I think he really believes in what he's selling. Now,

77
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: what he's selling can come off as a tad cringe ee.

78
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: But you know, not everybody's cool, right, Like a lot

79
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: of people think they're cool. A lot of people want

80
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: to be cool. Not that many people are cool. I

81
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: don't think Russell's cool. I mean, I'll be honest with you,

82
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't think Brady's cool. I never thought Peyton Manning

83
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: was cool. Most of the great quarterbacks in my life.

84
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman was a little cool, a little bit cool,

85
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: good looking guy, Dallas Cowboys. I don't think that's a

86
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: beneficial asset because I said this year years ago, when

87
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: I was talking to a college class, I said, I'm

88
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: not cool either. Is my audience go to a mall

89
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: or a bowling alley. That's who listens to sports talk radio.

90
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: If I'm cool, I'm not of my audience, right, So

91
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I said, I wouldn't waste a lot of time trying

92
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: to be the hippest guy on social media because most

93
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: people aren't hip. Think about this quarterback NFL Mahomes is cool.

94
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say Troy Aikman was cool,

95
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: The Mannings weren't. Brady isn't, Russell isn't, Andrew Luck wasn't.

96
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: I never thought Big Ben was. I don't think Herbert is.

97
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows got some cool and exclusively on the volume,

98
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's an asset necessarily in a

99
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: group setting to be the coolest guy. So I'm okay

100
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: with a little cringe e because it's really relatable. And

101
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: how do I know that because in a recent poll

102
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: of American adults, Russell Wilson was voted tied for the

103
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: most popular player in the NFL. Twitter and social media

104
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: are not real life Cringey is real life dad jokes

00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: I am America's most trusted journalist that goes without saying.

137
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: But I gotta be honest with you. I'm not supposed

138
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: to root for people, but ship when Joe took a

139
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: twenty one nothing lead, I'm like, Boom, gonna be a

140
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: good podcast on Tuesday. Joe's gonna be in a good mood.

141
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I'm sitting there thinking, Yeah, I

142
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: like what I'm seeing. Joe's gonna be. Joe can get

143
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: a little ticked off if he didn't have Did you

144
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: know did you know though week prep, pregame, do you

145
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: ever sense man all this stuff on film works? Did

146
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: you have a sense it was gonna be a big

147
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: early performance. Yeah, Jamar and I had talked about it

148
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: the day before. We kind of felt like it was

149
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: gonna be an opportunity, one of those games that we

150
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: had a chance to put up some good number, and

151
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: so we had talked about that the day before. It

152
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: kind of had a feeling was going to happen. When

153
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: you have a huge lead in the game at half.

154
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: What does Zach say at half? What do you say? Yeah?

155
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we really treat it the same way as

156
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: a halftime that we're losing. There's not a lot of motivation.

157
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: We're only in there for I think it's like seven minutes,

158
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: and so you know, you're you're going to the bathroom,

159
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: you're eating your bananas or whatever. You know, everybody eats

160
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: something a halftime, and then you're hydrating and the coaches

161
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: are going over adjustments, and then you sit down, you

162
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: go over those adjustments, and then it's time to go

163
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: back out. So there's not a lot of time for that.

164
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: The You know, it's interesting, I said, because you do

165
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: the podcast and Draymond Green does. Whenever I say something

166
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: nice about you or Draymond Green, people are allays like, Oh,

167
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: it's just because there, it's part of your business. And

168
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, because Raymond Green's terrible and Joe Burrow's terrible.

169
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Give me a break. But it is interesting. I asked

170
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: somebody in my family. I've got three girls in my family,

171
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh my god, Joe Burrows so cute.

172
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, bro, slow down. So do

173
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: you sense your popularity like growing? Do you? I mean

174
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: obviously in your hometown, but do you kind of sense

175
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: you're becoming a thing here now? Um? You know. Fortunately

176
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: for me, I have people around me that keep me

177
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: kind of out of that. And I'm like I said,

178
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get out much, so I don't.

179
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't really like to experience that part of it.

180
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm more of a homebody. They just likes to play football.

181
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm a homebody. So I started a movie on Netflix

182
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: the other day, or a series that was awful. I quit.

183
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: I won't give anything Like I'm I'm a fifteen minute guy.

184
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: If it's bad after fifteen minutes on Netflix, I'm wiping it.

185
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: In your television viewing? Are you patient? I impatient guy.

186
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: You'll go like five five in even if it's average. Yeah.

187
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh you're my wife? Yeah really? Yeah? You never really? Yeah.

188
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: So the other day I watched something called The Watcher.

189
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Have you heard that? Yeah? You watched that? Yeah? I

190
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: did forty minutes in out board the hell out of me.

191
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: You watch the whole thing. Yeah, I watched okay thing.

192
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: What did you make of the ending? Disappointed? That's what

193
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: everybody's saying. I want to watch it just to get

194
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: to the crappy ending. I don't really want to watch it,

195
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: but I hear it's a weird ending. Um, So I

196
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: want to talk about Albert Brere was on my show

197
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: on FS one and he said he talked to your

198
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: dad and your dad tells a story he has video

199
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: of when you were eight years old and you did

200
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: some quarterback sneak and it went for a touchdown, and

201
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: your dad had this sense very early that you had

202
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: a certain quality that you you know, you just kind

203
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: of brear. And I talked about this, whereas Josh Allen

204
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,359
Speaker 1: walks into a room and just looks different, and Mahomes

205
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: has got this goofy side arm, crazy flashy style. You

206
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: are not as physically gigantic, and a lot of your

207
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: throws are you know there, I've seen before, there's a

208
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: guy in the pocket. You have a certain style. A

209
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: lot of people talk about, Oh, I could sense it

210
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: with Joe, but I'm like, well, Ohio State. He moved

211
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: on and the first year at LSU. You know it

212
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: was choppy. So when did you self identify? Like I

213
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: can remember going to college and knowing that I cared

214
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: way more about broadcasting than even the juniors and seniors.

215
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: I was addicted to it. I was taping crap at night.

216
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: When did you self identify and go, I this means

217
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: more to me. I'm good at it was at eight

218
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: twelve eighteen. Kandres was just always a very competitive person.

219
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: And you know, whether it was football, baseball, or basketball,

220
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: I always kind of roused the challenge of being the

221
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: guy at the plate hitting the final free throws to

222
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: win the game. And I was always just kind of

223
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: good in those moments. I'm not quite sure what it was,

224
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: but I just feel like the game slows down to

225
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: me in those crunch time moments, whatever whatever it happened

226
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: to be. Do you get nervous before the games? For sure?

227
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: I do, But then you know, when you're out there,

228
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: you're just relying on your training. There's no time to

229
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: sit back and think about whether you're nervous or not.

230
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: There's forty seconds on the game clock, sometimes twenty five,

231
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: and you're just out there relying on muscle memory and

232
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: the reps. That you got in practice. What do you

233
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: get nervous about, Not about anything in particular, it's just

234
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: the the energy and the excitement in your stomach that

235
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: you're feeling leading up to game day. When earlier this

236
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: year teams were taking things from you. And we say

237
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: this on our show, Monday is overreaction day, and it's

238
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: all a process. You come into the season, You're trying

239
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: to get your body right, your old line right. You

240
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: get it right, they take stuff away. It's a chess match.

241
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: Do you feel the defense you saw this weekend is

242
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: different than the defense you saw in week one, two, three? Like,

243
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: tell me what you're seeing at the line? Is it

244
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: changing it all week to week? You know, every team

245
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: has their own little spin on it. But so the

246
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: most part, teams are still playing us the way they

247
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: have been. The difference in our wins is that you know,

248
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: we jump out to an early lead or we're hanging

249
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: in there moving the ball, and then they have to

250
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: the defense have to be a little more aggressive and

251
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: so then we're able to take our shots in those moments.

252
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: One of the things I think the NFL is really

253
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: good at changing stuff. The catch rule, it was just

254
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: too it was too confusing to me. I had Roger

255
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: Goodell and I said, I don't even understand what the catches.

256
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: And I'm a gigantic football fan. I don't like the preseason.

257
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: College kids have seventeen hours, they have mid terms, they

258
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: don't have a preseason. And I've watched teams Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Oregon.

259
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: I've seen teams be great in their first game. The

260
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: preseason's a chance for you to get hurt, and frankly,

261
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: nobody's playing starters. We have three games left, but by

262
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: not playing in preseason, you had a pretty rough opener

263
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: if you ran the league. I asked Brady this once.

264
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: If you ran the league, I'm gonna ask you two questions.

265
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: What would you do to preseason. I would continue to

266
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: just make it shorter, like one or two games. But

267
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: it is great chance for for young guys to go

268
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: out there and give an opportunity, so you gotta take

269
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: that into account too. I think three is a pretty

270
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: good number, and usually how starters have been doing it

271
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: is they play a little bit in game one, they

272
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: play a little bit more game two, and then game

273
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: three they're not playing at all. I would subscribe to

274
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: that probably now that I'm thinking about it, but every

275
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: teams has their own way of doing it, and I

276
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: can completely see why we don't play players in the preseason.

277
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: A lot of teams across the league aren't. It's a

278
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: great chance to get injured. I mean, the more you're

279
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: out there playing, the better chance you're gonna get injured

280
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: in a game that doesn't count towards your records. So

281
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: now there's it's a tough balance. The second question, if

282
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: you're commissioner and could change one rule that you just

283
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: I already know mine. I'll let you go first. You

284
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: could change one rule, Offensive and defensive holding would be

285
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: the same penalty. Defensive holding is only five yards, offensive

286
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: holding is ten yards. I just think it should be

287
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: the same. Okay, I think college does a better job

288
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: with past interference. I don't think it should be like

289
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: a spot foul where oh, it's a four guy gets

290
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: his leg tangled. You're running. The receivers are the best

291
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: athletes in the world. The corners could be first or

292
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: second best. You're both running a four four, you go

293
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: down the sideline, you trip, and it's a forty nine

294
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: yard penalty. Spoken like a true defensive guy, you like

295
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: it I like it because I mean, if you if

296
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: you're throwing a go ball and Jamar Chase is about

297
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: to break free forty yards down the field and you

298
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: just tackle him. But teams people are gonna do that

299
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: every time. It's only a fifteen yard penalty and it's

300
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: a you know, he's going to go and get that ball.

301
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: So it's been several weeks since you had your media

302
00:18:53,640 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: sign off. How's that going for you? Is it hard? No,

303
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: it's great. It's a little harder to answer interview questions

304
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: because I don't really know what's going on in the

305
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: world of sports other than what people tell me at

306
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: the facility. But I've been enjoying it. So I used

307
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: to live in a town called Manhattan Beach, California. Halloween

308
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: is a big deal, a big deal. So you're from Athens,

309
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: I am told Ohio there is a legendary Halloween celebration. Explain,

310
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: it's a it's a college, just like a college block party.

311
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: Um for Halloween. Everyone gets dressed up, so it's a

312
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: good time. Oh, come on, that's it. It's just it's

313
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: just that's there's nothing special. I mean, it's Ohio University

314
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: is kind of known as a school that people like

315
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: to go to to have an alcoholic beverage or two.

316
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and the block parties are are pretty fine. Yeah,

317
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: it's a drunk fest. So is Chico State. Listen, there

318
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: are colleges that are known for drinking. Arizona State. Yeah,

319
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: they drink. Brady doesn't drink in the season. Would you

320
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: have you know you're playing Sunday Tuesday, you're hanging out,

321
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: would you have a beer? No? I don't particularly enjoy

322
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: drinking at all. I do it maybe once twice a year, wow,

323
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: but definitely not doing this season. How did you live

324
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge? Wow? Oh my god. Yeah. I just

325
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: really don't like how it makes me feel, to be honest,

326
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: so I don't partake in it usually, are you. I

327
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: remember one time being in a drive through an andre

328
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Agassi had just one like the US Open or some

329
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: big tennis tournament, and he was in the Taco Bell

330
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: d I have through in Las Vegas and I'm in

331
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: a hummer. I think he had a hummer. I remember

332
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: thinking that's how andre AGAs he eats. I was just

333
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: like totally taken back by it. He'd like and I

334
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 1: mean he got a tray of food and at this

335
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: point in your life, you could eat poorly, Like what's

336
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: the what's the line between like caring about it and

337
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: not being neurotic about it? Like give me your give

338
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: me Joe, give me your average day of eating. Lay

339
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: it out. I eat four times a day. I have

340
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: a chef that prepares my meals. I usually have one

341
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: day a week where I kind of eat what I want, um,

342
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, chicken wings, all that good stuff. But you know,

343
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: six days a week, I'm pretty regimented. And nobody had

344
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: to teach you that, Like you just got it. Well.

345
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: I really made the change after my my knee injury

346
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: in my rookie year and really helped the recovery process.

347
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: Took out all inflammation in my knee, all the swelling,

348
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: made it feel better. And so that's kind of when

349
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: I understood the power of diet. Yeah. So you play

350
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: the Browns on Monday Night football, which it's a division game.

351
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: It'll be close. It always is. I really like Cleveland's

352
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: corners Denze. I think they're great. Denzels in my class

353
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. He's a great dude, great player. When

354
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: did you know he was going to be great? Freshman

355
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: sophomore year. Yeah, I mean his true our true freshman

356
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: year at Ohio State. They had him on kickoff and

357
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: he was running like twenty two and a half miles

358
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: per hour down there and making tackle after tackle, and

359
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: we kind of figured he was going to be a

360
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: pretty good player. He's a smaller player. When you attack Cleveland,

361
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett maybe the best defensive player in the league.

362
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: They have great corners. Take me through without giving up

363
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: game plan secrets in the games against Cleveland. When a

364
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: team has elite corners and I think they're really good,

365
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: are you a stay away guy, a challenge guy? Where

366
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: do you go on that? Yeah? I mean those the

367
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: duo that they have on the outside is one of

368
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: the best in the league. They got Jadeveon Clowney and

369
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett both on each side. So those guys have been,

370
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: you know, top top pass rushers in the league for

371
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 1: the last five years, and so you always have to

372
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: be aware that those guys are going to wreck the

373
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: game at some point if you let them, and so

374
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: you gotta chip them, you gotta get the ball out quickly.

375
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: But you know, the guys I have on offense, I'm

376
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: not going to be afraid to challenge any corn in

377
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: the league on outside. So here we are. We're seven

378
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: weeks in. You played your best football game. That your

379
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: defense is the most underrated in the league because you

380
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: don't have a ton of pro bowlders. But like everybody

381
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: can ball, everybody can play like you face that. How

382
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: often do you face your defense and practice ones on

383
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: ones during the season? Not at all? But training camp

384
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: is always always a battle. Okay, explain that. Not at all. No,

385
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: not during the season. On the bye week, I think

386
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: we get some seven on seven, but you want you

387
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: don't want to. You only get a certain amount of

388
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: reps during the week because it's such a long season.

389
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: You want to keep your bodies fresh, and so you

390
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to say waste, but

391
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: you don't want to waste reps that you could be

392
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: getting against the scout team who's running the defense that

393
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna be facing on Sunday, when you're you're going

394
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: against your defense that you're not going to be facing

395
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday, And so you never want to want to

396
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: waste those reps. Do you guys? What's the rule in

397
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: the NBA on physical contact and pads? During the season,

398
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: you can have one one padded practice a week and

399
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: then I think starting week twelve or thirteen, there's no

400
00:24:54,440 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: more padded practices something like that. Go back fifteen years

401
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: in football it was, it was completely different. Do you

402
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: feel like the league takes better care of you? Absolutely?

403
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: And I mean my body. Zach and our coaching stuff

404
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: and our strength stuff do a great job of using

405
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: using the data, using the science, and you know, altering

406
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: practice here and there for for certain reasons. If guys

407
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: have played, you know, a ton of steps on Sunday,

408
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: maybe we'll have an extra walkthrough period here or there,

409
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: and so they do a great job of that. All right. Finally, Um,

410
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: you're pretty good on style. I'm not. I'm from Seattle.

411
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: I hate the Seahawks bright green uniforms. I'm a blue guy.

412
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: I think they're classy. I think they're traditional. But I

413
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: like the Bengals all whites. Yeah. If I said to you,

414
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: give me three uniforms in the NFL you think are tight,

415
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: you can't use the Bengals, but you literally think that's

416
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: a good looking that's a good looking setup. Well, obviously

417
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: to say our new uniforms are awesome, I've always liked

418
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers uniforms. Those are just classic Saints uniforms.

419
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: You know, the Saints fan growing up, those those are

420
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: those are sick. And I've been liking the Dolphins lately,

421
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphin blue. Yeah, pretty good. Now there's got to

422
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: be one you're not into. I'll just say it right now,

423
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: Jaguars doesn't work for me. I'm sorry, I apologize. I

424
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: agree with that. I can't agree with that. You know

425
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: what it feels like to me like an alternative league,

426
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: like it should have. It would have been great in

427
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: the USFL, Right, it just feels alternative. I like their

428
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: old uniforms. What were those back with David Girard and

429
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 1: those guys. Do you ever think, you know Aaron Rodgers,

430
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: California guy, Like, there's not a lot of New Yorkers

431
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: that become great NFL quarterbacks. It's a lot of regular kids.

432
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Do you ever think to yourself, God, what if I

433
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: had grown up a surfing in Malibu? Yeah? Well, I

434
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: mean I think it's you know, your upbringing has everything

435
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: to do with your character and a lot to do

436
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: with your mental toughness. I think the more adversity and

437
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: the more structured and the more discipline your life has,

438
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: the better you're going to turn out in the long run.

439
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: And I think it really has a correlation with quarterbacks

440
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: because that's I mean, that's what the position is. It's leadership.

441
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: It's being able to bring people together, it's taking care

442
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: of your own business, and it's not being a distraction

443
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: off the field. And so that's you got to have

444
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: all your your keys and cues and all that real tight,

445
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: because otherwise it's gonna end up showing up on the field.

446
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: You know, Brady barks and Brady's been barked at. You're

447
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: not a big barker. How do you deal with being

448
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: barked at? I just think that, I mean, I can

449
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: deal with it. I'm a I'm a person that doesn't

450
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: mind being coached that way. But I think there's a

451
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: more effective way to coach, and there's more effective ways

452
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: to get information across than than yelling. Um. So I've

453
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: never been one to do that. You you know, as

454
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you got to understand all of your guys

455
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: that are on the team and in the locker room

456
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: and understand, you know, how you talk to one person,

457
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: you might not be able to talk like that to another.

458
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: Person in the locker room, and you got to really

459
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: understand the people so you can bring the most out

460
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: of them. How do you learn that? You's got to

461
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: spend time with them. You gotta suit different people in

462
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: the lunch room, talk to different people on the field,

463
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: and a byproduct of doing that is become very close

464
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: and create a lot of new friends that you wouldn't

465
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: have before and make the locker room a much more

466
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: friendly and closer environment. How's Jamar respond? What's what's the

467
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: best way to talk to him? You just talkt he.

468
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really smart football player, so he's

469
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: just going I mean we're really good friends. We're not

470
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: what's understood doesn't need to be said between us. We

471
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: give each other a look like hey, that was my bad,

472
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: and we both know the look. If he thinks he

473
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: needs to get the ball a little bit more, he'll

474
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: give me a little look. We trust each other enough

475
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: that if we need to say something to each other,

476
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: we definitely will. And there's been multiple times and he

477
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: comes up to me and he's like, hey, give me

478
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. And we have that trust

479
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: that that never goes the wrong way. Do you I

480
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: think about this do you ever feel like during a game, Wow,

481
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: a tease, I'm not giving him looks? Do you not

482
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: that you would force it? Not that maybe guilt, But

483
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: are you ever in a game thinking, God, I've just

484
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: literally ignored him for two quarters? Um? No, not really.

485
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: And that's what's great about I mean, we have three

486
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: number one receivers and none of them really care about that.

487
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, they want

488
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: some touches in their yards, but they never show it

489
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: on their face. They never, you know, say anything about it.

490
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: Because I think that they know that they have the

491
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: trust in me to read the defense, to get the

492
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: ball where it's supposed to go. And in the end,

493
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: it's going to even out. You know, one game, jama

494
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: is going to have a big game, and then maybe

495
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: the next game the defense is trying to take that away,

496
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: and so too will have a big game, and then

497
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: maybe another the middle of the field is open because

498
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: they're worried about those two guys on the outside, and

499
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: and TV will will have a big game like like

500
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: last one. And so they have that trust in me

501
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: that they know the ball is going to go where

502
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: it's supposed to. Do you feel that, Zack Taylor doesn't

503
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: have to coach you as much. Now it's three years together.

504
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: Do you feel like sometimes you look at him and go,

505
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: I got this. I know what you're gonna say. Yeah,

506
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: we know we know each other well enough by now.

507
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: You know he's he's great at understanding that. You know,

508
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: I put a lot of work in and I go

509
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: out there and make a check. Maybe it doesn't work,

510
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: and we come off and talk about it like men

511
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: and understand where we could get better than next time.

512
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: And so he does a great job of communicating the

513
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: information in a professional way. Give me the similarity or

514
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: biggest difference your dad to Zac as a coach. You know,

515
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: if I really don't know how my dad was as

516
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: a coach, he didn't really bring that home. Uh. He

517
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: was a dad first, and you know, I didn't really

518
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: see that side of him much. I was around the program,

519
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: but I didn't see that side too much. All Right,

520
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: growing in popularity and ascending in accuracy, It's time for

521
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: a Sharper square with Chad Milman, c CEO Action Network.

522
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: All of our odds provided by Fan Duel. I had

523
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: another winning week. You talked me into a couple of games,

524
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and I like that. So let's start with my favorite picks.

525
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of Minnesota, but they don't

526
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: blow anybody away. I've said before, Arizona is too talented

527
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: not to be competitive. They get extra time to prep.

528
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: They're getting now four. I'm going to take Arizona plus

529
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: four against a team I like a lot, Minnesota Sharper square.

530
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: So this is generally sharp. Let me give you some background.

531
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: The Wise guys do like the Cardinals. The blind actually

532
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: moved from four to three and a half, and there

533
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: are reasons related to the Vikings that they don't necessarily

534
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: like Minnesota. But a lot of this is about the

535
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: return of DeAndre Hopkins. We saw it last week. Murray.

536
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: In this offense, they are just a different team when

537
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins plays. When he has When Kyler Murray has

538
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, he's seventeen and ten as a starter. Without him,

539
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: he's six thirteen and one. Last week, Hopkins plays for

540
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: the first time in the early year ten catches for

541
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: more than one hundred yards. But then there is the

542
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: part that is about the Vikings. This defense is dreadful,

543
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: like they allow the NFL's highest percentage of explosive pass

544
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: plays they're thirty first in DVA. They are against against

545
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver number ones, which is what Hopkins is. He

546
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: could have a massively huge day. And this is what's

547
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: interesting about the Vikings. You know, they're on this hot

548
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: streak right now and they're five and one, they're leading

549
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: the division. They are consistently outgained on a yards per

550
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: play basis, and that is a huge Wise Guys stat

551
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: That is a signal that they're not winning because they're better,

552
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: but because they've been luckier. Wise guys are betting on regression.

553
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: Detroit plus three and a half at home against Miami. Okay, interesting,

554
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: Jared Goffin, Detroit are a different team at home. If

555
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: you really watch the Cowboy game, that thing was like

556
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: ten to six late and Detroit should have been leading.

557
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: I like Miami. They're very good on script, often limited

558
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: off it. I'm going to take the points. Detroit plus

559
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: three and a half. Sharper square. I love this. It

560
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: is my favorite pick of the week. It was the

561
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: first bed I made. The Wise guys love this game.

562
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: This is a bilow Sell high. Everyone hates the Lions

563
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: after two bad weeks. Everyone loves Miami. With two of

564
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,479
Speaker 1: back they won in prime time. But like you said,

565
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: Detroit is back at home. Detroit is in desperation mode.

566
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: The world is a better place when we can root

567
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: for Dan Campbell as an NFL head coach and they

568
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: need this game to save their season and for him

569
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: to save his job. Good news a monra St Brown

570
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: should be back. DeAndre Swift full practice this week, not

571
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: on the injury list. Teams off of bad losses like

572
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: the Lions, who to public is fading like the Lions

573
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: cover eighty sixty one percent clip since two thousand and five,

574
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: So the Lions are in a favorable situation as far

575
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: as precedent, and also the Dolphins just from an injury

576
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: point of view and playing a lot of third four

577
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: stringers on the defensive side of the ball. Love the

578
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: Lions here, Love, love love. The third favorite game is

579
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland Monday night plus three and a half. Here's why.

580
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: Not only is Jamar Chase excellent, he may be as

581
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: valuable as any singular a wide receiver to a team.

582
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: He can play multiple wide receiver slots. He is now out.

583
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: It's a divisional game outside of last week, Cincinnati does

584
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: get into a bad trend of falling behind. Also a

585
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: Monday night football game in a lot of cities is

586
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: no big deal. In Cleveland, this is a big deal.

587
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: The Browns don't get Monday night football games much. It'll

588
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: be a wild scene divisional game. Since he may win,

589
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: I'll take the three and a half sharper square, Yeah,

590
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: totally sharp. And this is by Monday night. You know

591
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: this game's at three and a half by Monday night,

592
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: or it'll be down to three. The wise guys are

593
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: just going to hammer that hook. The Browns they don't

594
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: look very good right now, but they have been losing

595
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: a lot of close games, only one loss by more

596
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: than a field goal this year. And that's what happens

597
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: when you have the best running back in football and

598
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, and you're going to play a conservative game

599
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: plan because Jacoby Brissette is proving to be who Jacoby

600
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: Brissette is and not the guy who started the year

601
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: really really hot. The Bengals have looked like they were back.

602
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: They beat up on the Falcons, but the Falcons in

603
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: that game lost aj Terrell and they ended up not

604
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: being able to cover anyone. So the Bengals got the

605
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. To be more explosive. You mentioned

606
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. But this is going to be a spot

607
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: where the wise guys and you and me are on

608
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: the Browns. All right, let's go to the favorites. I

609
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: like the Jags minus two and a half in Lundon

610
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. They had the Colts beaten to

611
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: the last play. They played straight up against the Giants.

612
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I do feel it's a young team. Young teams can

613
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: ascend overcome injuries faster. I think Denver's a mess. I

614
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: think when you're in crisis, traveling is not the greatest thing.

615
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: We saw Green Bay a little bit in crisis. Go

616
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: on the road and play worse. I'm going to take

617
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: the Jags minus two and a half sharper square. So

618
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: that's square. The line opened at three, it's moved down

619
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: to two and a half. The money has come in

620
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. The tickets are on the Jaguars. That

621
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: is always a signal that the professionals like the team

622
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: where the money is moving in their direction, that is

623
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: the Broncos. When the tickets are on one side that

624
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: is the public side that is the Jaguars. In this case,

625
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: it's the Jaguars are a challenging team. They're one of

626
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: those teams that the wise guys have loved the entire season.

627
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: But Travis Lawrence is missing receivers consistently on the most

628
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: important plays, red zone throws, deep throws. He's been incredibly

629
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: inaccurate on the passes that he has to make. And

630
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: then because they are a young team you mentioned it,

631
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: they are just consistently making crucial mistakes in the most

632
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: important moments. You can see it. There's there's a false start.

633
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: They are not converting when it's fourth and short, third

634
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: and short, you know, when they're on the goal line.

635
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: The Broncos are a train wreck on offense, but their

636
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: defense is fierce, and I think there's a lot of

637
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: fear of what they can do to this very young

638
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: offense led by Trevor Lawrence. So you're not on the

639
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: right side here. Going to take another favorite, Bill Belichick humiliated.

640
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: They'll come back cover the spread minus two and a

641
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: half against the Jets. I do not trust the Jets

642
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: in a big spot. The Jets lost their best and

643
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: most versatile offensive linemen. The Jets lost their best running back.

644
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: They bring in Greg James Robinson, but it's late in

645
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: a week. They're not going to use him much. This

646
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: is a classic take the team that looked awful last

647
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: week in a standalone game, the public is fleeing the Patriots. Therefore,

648
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm on the sharp side, am I not? You are

649
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: on the sharp side, Colin, And it's rare for the

650
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: sharp side to be a road favorite when the team

651
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: is not very good. But for the things you just said,

652
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: you are getting a Patriots team that gosh shellacked by

653
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: a really bad team. So there's going to be a

654
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a discount in what the line is.

655
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: It opened it about one one and a half, it

656
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: moved up to two. Now it's a two and a half.

657
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: The money is coming in on the Patriots. The flip side,

658
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: you are getting a Jets team that has been winning,

659
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: is starting to get a little bit more of a

660
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: public profile. But they didn't lose their best player in

661
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: Breece Hall. And so how what kind of impact is

662
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: going to have on Zach Wilson, who if you ask

663
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people how they are grading quarterbacks, he

664
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: is below number thirty two, Like, there are quarterbacks who

665
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: are not even playing at this point who are still

666
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: great at higher than what Zach Wilson is doing. You

667
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: would have talked about this. We've talked about this. Robert

668
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: Solo basically said, I don't know what's going to happen

669
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: to me in the future with this team. But about

670
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: two weeks into this year, he just decided, we're going

671
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: to be a running football team and we're going to

672
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: be a defensive football team. I don't care who my

673
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: quarterback is. That's how they've been winning. How did they

674
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: overcome the loss of Breece Hall, who probably would have

675
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: been a Rookie of the Year. So that is a

676
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: big factor for the wise guys. All right, now a

677
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: couple of games, you may be able to convince me

678
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: you turned me last week on the Seahawks, and I

679
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: do appreciate that. I bought myself a brand new No,

680
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: I didn't, I just won. Okay, I'm going to ask

681
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: you one that's a popular bat. I think Buffalo is

682
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: going to clawber Green Bay. But I think the first

683
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: quarter to the first quarter and a half is going

684
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: to be competitive. I think Matt Lafleur on script, will

685
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: come out with some tricks, be clever, and they'll hang around.

686
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: I think the second half is all Buffalo. It's ten

687
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: and a half, eleven and a half all odds provided

688
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: by Fan Duel. I could never give Aaron Rodgers eleven

689
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: and a half. But what do the sharps say? Well, look,

690
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: this is a really tough one and there's sort of

691
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: a cowardly move that a lot of wise guys will

692
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: make when they can't really come to a consensus on

693
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: a game, They'll bet a half, right, And so you

694
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: see that with like on Thursday Night Football, oftentimes they

695
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: are betting the first half on a game. You see

696
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: it a lot with the Ravens because the Ravens have

697
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: been one of those teams where they can't close people out,

698
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: but they are amazing in the first half. Also betting

699
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, betting on the Eagles first half, first half.

700
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: This is a game where the wise guys are going

701
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: to be looking at this and saying, okay, what is

702
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: the opening line for the second half, and probably going

703
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: to play Buffalo because Josh Allen is a primetime player.

704
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: He who loves to show up big in games that

705
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: are against the other prime time quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers obviously

706
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: in this scenario. So I think what they're probably going

707
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 1: to look for us to see, how is this game

708
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: shaping up, what is the line in the second half?

709
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: And how can they hit the how can they hit

710
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo in the second half? Alright, time for the game

711
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: you like I haven't brought up. Well, listen, you hit

712
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: like dude. You were all over the lines, which I loved.

713
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: You were all over the Cardinals, which I loved. I

714
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: will tell you that this week. You know, in the podcast,

715
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: the favorites that me and my bff Simon Hunter do

716
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: the most calls we got. You know, we'll do the

717
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: podcast on Tuesday. We'll talk about every game. Professional betters

718
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 1: will hit us up and say these are the games

719
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: that we sort of agreed with and didn't agree with,

720
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: and they will critique our answers, and then we'll talk

721
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: about it on Thursday when we do the second podcast

722
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: of the week. Everyone was talking about the Saints. The

723
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: Saints plus one and a half. Yeah, And I was

724
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: surprised because I'll show the audience I put little boxes

725
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: by games that I like, and that is the one

726
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: game I went back and forth on. The Raiders have

727
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: really kind of changed their offense in the last several weeks.

728
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: They are now just a running team. So I don't

729
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: want to bet against them, but it feels like the

730
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: Saints is the right side, doesn't it. Yeah, And that's

731
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: what the wise guys are saying right now. They're not

732
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: too worried about who's going to be playing quarterback. A

733
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of this is about the Saints just got blown

734
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: out by the Cardinals, so there's a little bit of

735
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: a discount because that's what the public last saw. The

736
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Raiders just beat up the Texans and Josh Jacobs looked

737
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: incredible doing it, and they have looked really good the

738
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. But I think that's when they're thinking, Okay,

739
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: it's time to fade the Raiders going on the road,

740
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: playing in New Orleans. Different scenario, much better defense in

741
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: the Saints than the Texans. And also in that Texans game,

742
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: this is where the wise guys make their money, right.

743
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: They don't just look at the final score. They see

744
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: the Texans missed a field goal, there was a pick six,

745
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: had a drive stall inside the red zone. So there

746
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: are variance is there that make them look at that

747
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: score and think, oh, the Raiders warn't as dominant as

748
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 1: we think. So that's why they're leaning towards New Orleans

749
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: right now. The other game that's come up a lot.

750
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders US three on the road at the Colts

751
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: right So, right now, the coltson decided they're going to

752
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: start Sam Allan, Jerry hold On. I've excuse myself. I'm

753
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: going to throw up right what I have to. I

754
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: refuse to bet games. I don't want to watch. By

755
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: the way, that is a lie because you'll say that

756
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: to me, and then I'll come on this show and

757
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: you'll say, hey, let's go bet Pittsburgh Miami or and

758
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: I'll be like, dude, don't you tell me. Let's let's

759
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: put the Jags and the Titans. And I'm like, you

760
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: say to me, you don't want to bet games? Okay,

761
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: I want to bet the corner TV games. But Dolphins

762
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: Steelers was a standalone game. And I do like watching

763
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: the Jags because they're a bit of a tire fire.

764
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: I think the Jags are Oh my god, I like

765
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: watching the Jags. I don't like watching Listen to me,

766
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: you can talk yourself out of any box there is.

767
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: I know this because you're brilliant at this. Washington, Washington

768
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: plus three against you against Indie. I feel like there's

769
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: real problems on the cults right now. I was fascinated

770
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: when it came out that Matt Ryan was being benched

771
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: for Sam Allinger. So I was reading all the coverage

772
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: about it, and I love sort of this inside high

773
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: school drama. Frank Reich basically gave him and it's not you,

774
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: it's me logic. He's like, we're going to bench you.

775
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: We haven't delivered on what we promised to you. We

776
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: thought we'd bring in Matt Ryan. We thought we'd have

777
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, we thought we'd have an amazing offensive line.

778
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: We thought we'd be able to support him. We haven't

779
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: been able to do that. It's on us, So we're

780
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: gonna have to break up with you and put you

781
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: on the bench. So now they're bringing Sam Ellinger. And

782
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: the second part of that story is all about how

783
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: who are the decision makers, Jim Rsey, the GM, Frank Rich.

784
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: If Frank Reich is the decision maker, does he bench

785
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. It feels like there's a little bit of

786
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: an ownership getting involved here. So now I got a

787
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: sixth round raft choice who's never started, going against a

788
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: Washington Commander's football team that can actually play well on defense,

789
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: and I think they're just better with Taylor Heineke and

790
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: you're still getting a little bit of that Carson wentste discount.

791
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: So that's a game people who have been talking about it.

792
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to, you don't want to

793
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: do it, but you know, I really can talk myself

794
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: out of anything except an argument with my wife. Know

795
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: what she'll say, You know what she'll say when I

796
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: like to start arguing, She'll go, she'll go time out.

797
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm not a caller to your radio show. And I say,

798
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: I don't take calls. What are you talking about? I

799
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: will get my wife will like, ask me something, and

800
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: then I'll start explaining something and she goes, you know,

801
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm not on your staff, right, like, you don't have

802
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: to explain it to me, as if you need to

803
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: convince me of something, like just talk to me like

804
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: we've been married forever and that always feels really good.

805
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: Well I told you know this. Our wives look alike

806
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: now they talk yeah, yeah, which to me just feels

807
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: like they talk alike because they are so sick of us.

808
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: It's it's not even funny. I know, I get it.

809
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: At this point. I don't even like my wife and

810
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: I she works, she's so busy she's an architect, right.

811
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: She is so busy. Right now, I've made dinner four

812
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: to five nights a week. I am texting her, when

813
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: do you think you'll be home. I'm not asking because

814
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: I expect you to be home at a certain time.

815
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: I just want to know when to start dinner. She'll

816
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: tell me it's going to be a certain time. Half

817
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: an hour later, she hasn't come home yet. Me and

818
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: my sixteen year old son are eating together. I leave

819
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: food for her, and I can't get upset about it

820
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: because this was our life for twenty years before. Like

821
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: I was working at home and she's crazy busy. So

822
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: I just do it. I just do it, and I

823
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: hope it gets appreciated in some way. Well, you make
