1
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Happy Friday, happy weekend, happy whatever, freeing

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: our podcast. I'm John Middlecoff. You guys know the Drill.

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: If you're new, Hello, welcome. I hope everything is going well. Uh.

4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: I got a couple of thoughts. Aaron Rodgers, what needs

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to happen this summer? Dak Prescott signs with a guy

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: I think he goes by Michael Jeffrey Jordan's uh and

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: has a little thing called the Jordan Brand. And I

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: just last year, I remember the world was falling when

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: he shattered his ankles and I learned this with Kevin Durant.

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: I think we need to pump the brakes on the

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: risk that star players actually have when playing sports hit

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: there's not much. And then of course the Middlecoff mail

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: bag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram firing those d

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: let's dive in Aaron Bleeping Rogers, I think right now, really,

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been a story this week. Aaron Rodgers

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: officially didn't show up, Jordan's love. You know, it's only

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: O T A shorts and T shirt having a good week.

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Uh So some positive things coming out of Green Bay

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Packer land non Aaron Rodgers, but clearly over the next

27
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, forty forty five days whenever training camp for

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: veterans in uh in Green Bay, Wisconsin officially or have

29
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: to show up will be the biggest story in the league.

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: And then whether he shows up or not will also

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: immediately be the biggest story in the league. And let

32
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: let background on myself, I am a sucker for mob movies,

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and I would also put drug cartel movies in there.

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Anything Italian mob, Russian mob, drug cartels in Mexico, Colombia,

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm in. I can't get enough of them. I've watched

36
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: from Narcos to El Chopos to every mob movie ever made.

37
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I cannot get enough. You give me a mob movie,

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm there. You give me a drug cartel movie, I'm there.

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: And one thing that always happens in these movies are

40
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: sit downs. I guess that's how the mob rolls. Now,

41
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: most businesses, you before zoom, You gotta meet with people

42
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: in person, and you know, right face to face. Now

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: it's a little different, maybe they zoom now if the

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: Italian mob, but you get it right. You meet in person,

45
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: You sit down sometimes with rival gangs, rival mobs, rival

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: families sometimes you know the five families you're you're in

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: you're in business together. Not gonna go on a deep

48
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: tutorial on how that works, but you know, we've all

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: watch a movie or two on it, and they sit

50
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: down together. It's actually usually how they get popped, right.

51
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: They bug those rooms, they get the conversations, and then

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: down goes Rudy Giuliani, Rico cases but another time, another podcast.

53
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: But the point is in these sit downs usually accomplish something. Now,

54
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: people usually don't agree in those sit downs. Again, this

55
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: is just movies. I've never actually sat in one of

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: these rooms with bobsters or cartel members. But you sit

57
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: down for a reason, you're not seeing eyed high, or

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: you need something to change, or you're gonna you know,

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and usually in mob interactions it's raising the price right

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: or trying to get the price lowered. Here's what I

61
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: know about the Green Bay Packers, their relationship with you know,

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: a top two or three player in the history of

63
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: one of the most famous franchises ever, you would say

64
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: probably Reggie White, And then I mean in modern day

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: players it was far Van Reggie White were the best

66
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: players ever. Reggie probably you could still say is number one.

67
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Now granted they didn't draft him. I guess they did

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: and draft far Of either, but they got him after

69
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: his first year. I think it's fair to say just

70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: relative to far Roger is a better player. He's had

71
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: just start to finish the better career. You have to

72
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: fix this, and you at least have to attempt to

73
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: fix it. And to me, the only way to attempt

74
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: to fix something is to have a sit down. Now

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: obviously not mob style, but a little bit like he's

76
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: not gonna want to sit down with you. I don't

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: think when you reach out through his agent and try

78
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: to broke her a situation. Can we come meet you

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles? Can we come meet you wherever you are,

80
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Bring your wife, bring your girlfriend or whatever she's considered.

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Now we need to talk Gudikins and the coach. We

82
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: need to figure this out. And if I'm the Green

83
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, if I'm Brian Goudikins, and this guy might

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: hate my guts. I just know this in a lot

85
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: of mob movies. And you can say movies aren't always true,

86
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: that's fair, but they you know, some of these documentaries

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: you get on netfl X or Amazon Prime say they're depicting,

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're like documentaries. I mean, they're based

89
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: on fact, and they have some people. I mean, I've

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: watched enough YouTube some of these guys breaking down what

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: happened in these meetings that it's contentious when you walk

92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: in the room. Sometimes having a contentious meeting is healthy,

93
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: you know. I think famous guy named Bill Belichick says

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: there's no growth without any confrontation. There there can be,

95
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, healthy things can come out of contentious conversations

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: when people don't see eyed eye. And they have to

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: do everything humanly possible to get Aaron Rodgers to agree

98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: to come to training camp, and I think the only

99
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: way possible to attempt to convince them that man, we're

100
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: not trading you. You can do. All this stuff leak

101
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: through the media and talk to his agent. You have

102
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: to sit down. There is still a place in modern

103
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: day society where we're zooming, where we're face timing and

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: d m NG and I like all these as much

105
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: as everyone. I literally run my life through most of

106
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: either you know, zoom or E M S. So I

107
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: get it and I can be and I'm sure many

108
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: people listening can be very very productive and do successful

109
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: business deals through email. But there are certain situations. I

110
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: think we often see these with a loved one, right

111
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: a significant other, a parent, a brother, where you have

112
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: a situation where you have to sit down with them.

113
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: And I would imagine anyone who's had a business partnership

114
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: for a long period of time where things get a

115
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: little out of control, you have to sit down in person.

116
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: And I think this situation with Laflora and Gudakins, I

117
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: would not bring Murphy. I would have my two football

118
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: guys and Aaron Rodgers, and if his agent wants to come,

119
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: that's fine as well. We have to get us sit down.

120
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: We have to attempt and I understand that people have

121
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: been saying, you know, Gudakins and the Green Bay Packers

122
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: aren't very good with feelings and aren't good with the

123
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: human element of it all. And that's fine, I've I've

124
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: said for a while now. They don't teach you how

125
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: to massage agent relationships when you're a pro you know,

126
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: personnel director. They don't teach you what to do when

127
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: a star player goes rogue. They don't teach you when

128
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: you're not a GM what to do when someone gets

129
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: a d u I on your team. These are things

130
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: that there is no learning ground for most big boy

131
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: jobs in society. You learn on the job. And it

132
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: whether Gudakins screwed this up from the jump or whether

133
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Rogers is over blowing the situation, it doesn't matter because

134
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: the situation is what it is right now. And clearly

135
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: they want to attempt to win the Super Bowl this year,

136
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: and I would imagine Aaron Rodgers is too. They have

137
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: to find a way to find some middle ground, even

138
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: if it's promising. After the season, they'll trade him. You

139
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: almost have to do whatever it takes across that bridge

140
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: when you come to it, Maybe you have to lie.

141
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Maybe he comes back, wins another m v P and

142
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: realize that, you know, it's not so bad. They'll trade

143
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Jordan's up next year. But to me, the only chance

144
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: to get Aaron Rodgers show up at training camp if

145
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: he's adamant that he's not gonna show up, which only

146
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: he knows that. But as I'm sitting here recording this

147
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: on June tenth, if you say, John, if nothing happens

148
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: over the summer, status quo, do you expect Aaron Rodgers

149
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: to walk through the building and ride his bike first

150
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: day of practice with the veterans, I would say no.

151
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: And we know, like, for as big as Aaron Rodgers

152
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: story has been this last month, it will be ten

153
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: times as big if he's a no show at camp

154
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: because we know just in general, no shows at camp

155
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: like Ezekiel Elliott a couple of years ago, the Khalil

156
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: Mack thing, Aaron Donald, those are enormous stories that they

157
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: take over the entire league. This would be the biggest

158
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: of the modern day that I can remember. If if

159
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, after winning the MVP and you know, win

160
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: in thirteen games last year and losing in the NFC Championship,

161
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: doesn't show, it would be enormous. It would be hard

162
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers to operate given the elephant

163
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: in the room with him being missing and especially Jordan's

164
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: love being forced to be the starter in that situation.

165
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: But this is on Gouda Kins, this is on the floor.

166
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: I would do absolutely everything to organize the sit down. Now,

167
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: some sit downs, you know, I've seen it up Mob movie.

168
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Some people get killed and sit downs. So just because

169
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: you have a sit down doesn't mean Aaron Rodgers going

170
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: to agree to do everything you want him to do,

171
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: or vice versa. Maybe you won't see eyed with Rogers

172
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: though you the Gudakins Lafour side should be much more

173
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: open minded with Aaron, even if they don't even agree

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: with the things he's saying. But that's what's gonna have

175
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: to happen this this offseason. And honestly, if he says no,

176
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm asking him every day, and hell, I might just

177
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: show up at his house because you know anyone sales

178
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: will tell you just because they tell you know over

179
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: email on phones, show up and if they if they

180
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: tell you know, when you show up the first time,

181
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: show up again. People often ask me like how I

182
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: get this job? How do I break in? Be relentless,

183
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: And this is a situation for the packers where they're

184
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna be need to be relentless and get in front

185
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: of them, because it's much easier to have a one

186
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: on one or two on one conversation in person than

187
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: it is to do it over text, message, email, d

188
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: M S or whatever. Right, It's just that's a fact,

189
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: no matter where we are in society with technology dealing

190
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: with human beings, especially over you know, serious stuff. You know,

191
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: this is clearly serious to Aaron Rodgers, emotional stuff, financial stuff.

192
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: You gotta get out in front of this. And if

193
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: they don't attempt to do this, what sucks. I mean

194
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: is there's some of vacation, but if they can't get

195
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers show up, the Packers have serious problems. Fox

200
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: name Dakota Prescott, signed with this brand. I think it's

201
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: run or owned by this guy named Michael Jeffrey Jordan's.

202
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: Some call them mj Some consider him the greatest player

203
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: in the history of sports on I personally do uh

204
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: the Jordan brand. They paid him a lot of money.

205
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott now over a twelve month span, has been

206
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: paid a franchise tag. There was twenty seven plus million

207
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: dollars he got paid a contract that Listen, I think

208
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: it's a little rich at forty million per and a

209
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: ton of guaranteed money I think like million. And then

210
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: this m J brand deal, which I'm sure I think

211
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: uh revel or one of those type guys wrote that

212
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: highest money ever for an NFL player Jordan brand, even

213
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: though I don't think that many NFL players have the

214
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Jordan brand. But the point is Dak got a lot

215
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: of money from the Jordan brand. Smart move, right. There's

216
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: a big misconception in I think in the sports media

217
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: does a poor job with this, and some fans too.

218
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: Star players in sports, and I would include like top

219
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: twenty quarterbacks. So star players in top twenty quarterbacks, not

220
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: just Peyton Manning broken neck, huge contract, but just top

221
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: twenty quarterbacks. They don't bear any risk when they play.

222
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: They really don't, right, And I think the immediate reaction

223
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: when star players and I remember seeing it with Kevin

224
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Durant who tore his achilles in the NBA Finals, and

225
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: the reaction was, oh my god, the rest this is

226
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: why players long term country, this is why they get

227
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: the money. With a torn achilles and he was gonna

228
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: miss a year. The Golden State Warriors offered him two

229
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. He told them to kick

230
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Rocks signed with the Nets. He had multiple he had.

231
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean every team in the league off of torn

232
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: achilles would offered in the Max Clay Thompson as well,

233
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: torn his a c L Warriors game a hundred and

234
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: ninety million dollars. I remember several years ago Derek Carr,

235
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders at the time now

236
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders was playing the Indianapolis Colts, shattered

237
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: his ankle. The Raiders extended him that that offseason game

238
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: like a hundred forty million dollars seventy I think it

239
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: was seventy two or seventy five million dollars guaranteed Kirk

240
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: Cousins forever. And the hchise tag is a bad thing.

241
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: The franchise tag has been one of the healthiest things

242
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: that ever happened in the NFL. It does two things.

243
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: If you're a player, One, it guarantees you huge cash

244
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: and if you're good enough to get the franchise tag,

245
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: even if you have an injury, you're typically gonna get

246
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: paid after And we just had a example with Dak

247
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: Prescott shattered his ankle. I was watching the game, remember

248
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: sitting on my couch. His ankle was pointing the wrong way.

249
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: He started crying on the cart getting taken off the field.

250
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: I checked social media, every media member, this is why

251
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: you try long term contracts. That the franchise tag is inhumane,

252
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: it's un American. And then, like we said, Dak Prescott

253
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: got forty million dollars a year after the season, on

254
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: top of just making twenty seven fully guaranteed dollars last year.

255
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: The franchise tag in the NFL keeps stars on their teams.

256
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: The NBA, which my my buddy Ethan Strouss does a

257
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: fantastic job, one of the rare NBA media members that

258
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: will question what's going on and why the NBA's last

259
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: fifty of their viewing audience over the last decade. And

260
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: he did this breakdown. He was on Collins podcast and

261
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: he talked about the lowest rated teams in the NBA.

262
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Were some of the best teams were the Lakers, were

263
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: the Clippers, were the Nets and all of them are

264
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: basically anti franchise tag teams. They just keep stealing players away,

265
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: sweet players, right Kauai, Paul George Lebron, you know, uh,

266
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, the Nets. Obviously, all three guys, all three

267
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: teams were in the lower you know, twenty five and

268
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: under in terms of viewership in the NBA. The number

269
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: one rated team in the NBA, Golden State Warriors Steph

270
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: Curry Draymond Green combined like nineteen season so far on

271
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. Do you know what fans like

272
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: getting attached the good players? When you get when you

273
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: draft a sweet player or signed a sweet player, And

274
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: I guess for the most part of drafted swee play,

275
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: if you're gonna franchise a guy, you want to be

276
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: able to keep him. Do you know why, Okay, see

277
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: freaked when Kevin Durant left. That's and I don't blame

278
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: him for leaving, even though I was someone who didn't

279
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: want him to come here. But I remember the the

280
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: just the uh, the anger and the animosity when he

281
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: tore his achilles. How like the Warriors screwed him the

282
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: net every team in the league was ready to hand

283
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: him a max contract yeah, with quarterbacks. Last year was

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: like Dak was getting screwed by the Cowboys. Not only

285
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: did he not get screwed, he profited from it because

286
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: he ended up getting the contract that the ultimately he

287
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: ultimately wanted, and he got the franchise tag money. Part

288
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: of the way, Kirk Cousins, you know, cashed in. He

289
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: took two years of franchise tags. Then he got eighty

290
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: five million dollars from the Minnesota Vikings. Then he got

291
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: a sixty million dollar extension. You know who gets screwed

292
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: in sports and really in life. The little guy you

293
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: know who can't avoid afford you know, higher taxes, minimum

294
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: wage increases. Do you know who that really hurts? Doesn't

295
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: hurt Apple, doesn't hurt Bank of America, it doesn't hurt McDonald's.

296
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: It hurts the mom and pop shop. You know who?

297
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: Do who get screwed? When he tears a c L

298
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: in practice or a game, a seventh round or an

299
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent, they'll just replace him. You knew who

300
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: they don't replace when he tears an a c L.

301
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Jamal Adams, Jalen Ramsey, those guys, No, you

302
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: stick with the star players. Those guys are basically injury proof.

303
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Think about J. J. Watt. He was a great player,

304
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Fame player. Think how many after

305
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: he established, like his multiple defensive Players of the Year,

306
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: he got hurt all the time. They didn't think about

307
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: getting rid of them. Then, even after like basically a

308
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: decade in Houston, I mean a ton of injuries, a

309
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: team gave him thirty million dollars. My point is not

310
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: to say these guys don't deserve the money. I got

311
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: no problem with it. But we act like when star

312
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: players get hurt and if they're in a contract dispute,

313
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: they're getting screwed. That is just a bold faced lie.

314
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: Star players, like a lot of big businesses in society,

315
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: are basically recession proof. They're always gonna keep getting paid.

316
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: They are the cream of the crop for a reason,

317
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: and it's not always right. But the guy that gets

318
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: screwed is the little guy, and obviously they should they

319
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: are much more replaceable than the high end players. But

320
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: this notion and the media is terrible about this now

321
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: in fairness, sports business or the sports media knows if

322
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: you know in my you know following them on social media,

323
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: little the nothing about business, So I don't expect them

324
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: to understand this. They're very emotional group, but they are

325
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: always the quick to say how much the star guy

326
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: gets screwed in negotiations when he has to sign the franchise.

327
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: Tech then consistently that guy then gets paid huge money,

328
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: or they freak out when the guy gets hurt on

329
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: the field, Oh my god's career, then he gets extended.

330
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: It happens time in and time again. So this notion

331
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 1: that the star players risk that much, let's face it,

332
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: they really don't. I mean, they just out You know

333
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: where I stand on these contract extensions for guys like

334
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. If any one of

335
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: those three guys were let's say they don't get contract

336
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: extend this offseason and tear an a c L this offseason,

337
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: including Lamar, who's a run first quarterback, wouldn't phase them

338
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: at all. They would still get an historic amount of

339
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: money all three individuals. So I I do think we

340
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: need to change the way we think a little bit

341
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: about this. When the fourth wide receiver gets his ankle shattered,

342
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: that's a problem. He may never play in the NFL again.

343
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: But when you're top ten pick who's a third year

344
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: guy breaks an ankle. Yeah, probably no big deal that

345
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: they'll pick up his fifth year option. Maybe franchise tag him.

346
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: He'll be fine, He'll get his money. Let Steve into

347
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: a little middlecoff mailbag at John middlecop is the Instagram handle.

348
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: I also realized, I lowbald dock. He didn't make twenty

349
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: seven million dollars last year. He made thirty one million dollars, so,

350
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, just four million dollars. No big deal, rounding

351
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: air for US uh for US peons in life for

352
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: a million bucks. So thirty one last year, forty this

353
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: year and moving forward, Um, I think he'll be able

354
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: to uh. You know. I was gonna say pay the rent,

355
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: but let's face it, he's owning pay the mortgage. Probably

356
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: several mortgages, maybe three or four. If I was him,

357
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: I love the pot. Came across on Collins feed and

358
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm here to stay. I appreciate you. Cody looks like

359
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: he's a little cross player. I see some I see

360
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: some lax in his picture. I was wondering if you've

361
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: paid any interest in the Pro lacrosse recently, if at all,

362
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: I have not. Chris Hogan will be playing in his

363
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: first pro lacrosse game this upcoming Saturday for Canyons l C.

364
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: The sport has really grown the past few years and

365
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: now has games on NBC and Peacock would love to

366
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: know your opinion about the sport and its potential future.

367
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: I like it, uh neew A couple of guy is

368
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: in college that played. I mean we didn't have a

369
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: lacrosse We had a club lacrosse team, uh not big

370
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: in northern California where I lived, and with the guys

371
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: that played were all from southern California. I mean, I

372
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: appreciate the sport. It's like soccer meets rugby kinda because

373
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 1: you can blast guys, you gotta wear kind of obviously

374
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: a helmet. I respect it. I'm not I don't watch it.

375
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: I never played it, but I have a lot of

376
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: respect for the sport. And you know, Chris Hogan who

377
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: was wasn't even lacrosse player at Ohio State. Why Belichick,

378
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: who's like a lacrosse lover, uh signed him? So I

379
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: I understand. I mean, I'm rooting for it big time.

380
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: I do think it's it's a little niche, you know,

381
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: but just like I mean, soccer used to be niche,

382
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: and now in America it's definitely getting much more normalized

383
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: the wrong word, but I would say mainstream. I'm behind it.

384
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm an eighteen year old recent high school grad and

385
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: I have no clue what to do with my life.

386
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: It's from Brady. It's a sweet first name. Might name

387
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: my onboard son Brady. I'm going to college this fall,

388
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: but don't have a major declared yet. I love football,

389
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: the NFL and sports in general. I love talking sports

390
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: and think it would be awesome to make it a

391
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: career somehow. Do you have any tips or thoughts regarding

392
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: how to turn my love of sports into a career.

393
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: I love the podcast. I love how you talk about

394
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: things other people don't like the business side of stuff.

395
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: I've been a couple of people dm me like, why

396
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: are you talking so much real estate and stocks? I

397
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I like that stuff because I'm not gonna

398
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: talk about the backup guard. I mean, I'm just gonna

399
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: talk about what I like, and I know what other

400
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: people like. I talked about what I would talk about

401
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: with my friends, right quarterbacks, coaches, money. I I've been

402
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: thinking a lot, like what am I I'm a football

403
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: golf money guy who also watches a lot of baseball

404
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and uh, I have enjoyed the NBA playoffs, but I'm

405
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: a football golf money guy. That's how I might put

406
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: that in my bio. What what do you do for

407
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: a living? I'm a streamer, podcaster, football golf money guy.

408
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: My recommendation would be this, you can do several things. First,

409
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: you if you're going to college, that if your Division

410
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: one school or D one Double A. You can work

411
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: for the athletic program, whether you have to intern, why

412
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: you're going to school, and just kind of get your

413
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: feet wet, you know, doing whatever they'll let you do.

414
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: If you want to do more media stuff and talk

415
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: about it, well, when I went to college, I had

416
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: a piece in the Mustang Daily, which was cal Pauli's newspaper,

417
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: called Johnny in the Box. It's kind of how I

418
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: got my foot in the door with doing sports stuff.

419
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: And then from there I started working with the athletic department.

420
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: I um, I started helping out the football team. I

421
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: got an internship with the Chiefs and it all kind

422
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: of snowball. But I didn't really know what I wanted

423
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: to do either. I was not when I got to

424
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Like Howie another buddy of mine, These guys

425
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: knew they wanted to work in the NFL front office

426
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: and be like GM scouts when they were you know,

427
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: ten eleven twelve, Like they had envisioned that. I wasn't

428
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: that person. I would have worked in baseball, basketball, football.

429
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: It just kind of happened. And then I was a

430
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: football guy naturally, So it just kind of organically plus

431
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: lock plus it just I don't know, maybe I manifested it.

432
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I I was sitting right where

433
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: you were sitting. And honestly, when I was eighteen, my

434
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: first couple of years in college, I didn't do anything

435
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: regard uh revolving around sports. I drank and kind of

436
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: went to class. That was it, like most college kids.

437
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: It wasn'tuntil like my third year when I kind of

438
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: got bored with stuff. It's like, I I need I'm

439
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: missing something, I'm missing a purpose, I'm missing my passion.

440
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: So if you want to do media stuff, YouTube, Instagram, podcast, like,

441
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: start your own ship that there are a million platforms,

442
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: like you have a million options to do your own things. Hell,

443
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: you could work for the athletic program and do a

444
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: podcast on the side, or do a YouTube page. That

445
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: would be my recommendation. Just try out stuff. It's like

446
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: I would imagine most people get married right ideally, unless

447
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: you meet your high high school sweetheart. If you get married,

448
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: let's say in your thirties, you've ideally dated around in

449
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: your twenties and kind of find what you like what

450
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: you don't like. Write a lot of people jobs, like

451
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: my generation work several jobs because they don't like certain jobs.

452
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: They quit, they leave, they get better opportunities. It's okay

453
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: to not know, Like, not everyone is gonna marry their

454
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: high school sweetheart. Maybe you don't meet a girl in

455
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: high school you fall in love with right or college.

456
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't meet someone you fall in love with

457
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,959
Speaker 1: your forty. Some people they don't find out what they

458
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: love doing until they're fifty. You're lucky, you know right away.

459
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: You already have the focus mindset. So just my recommendation

460
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: would be, try a bunch of stuff and find what works.

461
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: Think about this, like if you're listening to podcast, I

462
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: didn't start doing any of the stuff until two thousand thirteen.

463
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: Two thousand thirteen, and really I didn't get on air.

464
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: I guess I got late two thousand thirteen, I got

465
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: on air on a radio station. I mean, that's not

466
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: We're not even a decade in. I'm thirty six. I

467
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: didn't start doing that stuff till I was eight years old.

468
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: So you and I think this is kind of what

469
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: I'm good at. That was pretty good Scout too. Question

470
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: for the podcast. I was wondering if the Packers would

471
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: be interested in the trade for Jimmy if Aaron Rodgers

472
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: end up holding out or getting traded. It looks like

473
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: Roger's gonna hold out. Yeah, why would they want Jimmy Garoppola?

474
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: They have Jordan's Love. To me, if Aaron Rodgers is

475
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: going to be the quarterback, if Jordan's Love just had

476
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: a really good mini camp and an offseason, maybe the

477
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: Packers think that, like, let's just go with Jordan Love.

478
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: You'd use the first round pick on them. Why would

479
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: they want another quarterback? And I had been saying that

480
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders should be interested in giving them Derek Carr,

481
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: and obviously Derek right now would be better than Jordan's

482
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: Love one and they could try to win this year.

483
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: But did draft this guy in the first round. So

484
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: if they were to trade for Derek Carr said Aaron

485
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: to to the Raiders, do you are you just acknowledging

486
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: you just wasted the fucking pick twenty seven on Jordan's

487
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: Love like that that would be a double bad look.

488
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: You wait, you're trading Rogers and then you're acknowledging this

489
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: guy can't start. Part of getting rid of far Of

490
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: was putting Aaron Rodgers in the game, right or making

491
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: restarting quarterback. And they were proven right very fast. But

492
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: the reason that Ted Thompson won is because Aaron Rodgers

493
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: was sweet and they had drafted the guy and they

494
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: were ready to move on. You're not just trading Like

495
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: the more and more I thought about it, like, I

496
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: don't think the Raiders make sense because Gruden would I'm

497
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: sure want Rogers and far would help or I'm not

498
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: far uh, Derek who wears Far's number number four would

499
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: help them immediately stay good and make the playoffs. Probably,

500
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: But like, if I'm a Packer fan, I don't want

501
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr like you either, roll with rod yours. Let

502
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: me see Jordan Love see what Goodikins has. Of the

503
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: blockbuster trades that have transpired over this offseason, which of

504
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: the major trades do you see having the biggest impact? Uh?

505
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: I would say long term would have to be the Niners, right,

506
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean they traded three first round picks for Trey Lance.

507
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: So if Kyle Shanahan just got a franchise quarterback, that

508
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: would be the move. Short term? Uh? Were there that?

509
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean Jamal Adams, Jalen Ramsey were last year? What

510
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: were the crazy trades? Were there? Matt Stafford, Matt Stafford,

511
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford that that would be the one Matt Stafford

512
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: because I think the Rams, the Rams were not that

513
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: great of an offensive team last year. Second half of

514
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: the season. Jared Goff couldn't throw the ball if Matt

515
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: Stafford and Sean McVeigh see ied I and sling that

516
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: pill around Cooper cop acres of stud Robert Woods tight

517
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: ends the draft too. To the guy that runs like

518
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: a four one watch out advisor at Fidelity here all right,

519
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: see I like smarter listeners here. Animal Spirits is a

520
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: great listen terrific resource for your listeners who hit their

521
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: favorite NFL pod. Guy up for financial advice completely agree.

522
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: I am not a financial advisor. I'm just someone who

523
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: really enjoys the market and you know, I couldn't even

524
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: break down financials if I tried. I mean, that's something

525
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: my style as an investor. Now, granted I'm not investing

526
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: the farm in stocks though I have Relative to my

527
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: I would say it wouldn't even be fair to say wealth.

528
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: My the money that I have, and what how would

529
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: you what do you consider? I guess what I'm worth

530
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: pretty large percentage invest in the market. I'm from Canada

531
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: and we, just like the US, have been experiencing inflation. Yeah,

532
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: this is we're about to get deep here. In the

533
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: past few years, it seems that teams are willing to

534
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: trade more picks for a star player Okay, we'll go

535
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: back to football or a top five pick than teams

536
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: generally would be in the past. Is it fair to

537
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: say that the NFL trade market is also experiencing inflation. No,

538
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: what I think it is is that teams are just

539
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: more aggressive. Like inflation right now in America is based

540
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: on the limited supply of different things. Obviously, the money

541
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: that's been just printed out of nowhere, that's put it

542
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: into the market. Uh, the richest people have gotten so

543
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: much money in these institutions, of so much money that

544
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: are able to buy up just hell. I mean some

545
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: of these homes being I read an article cool about

546
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: some homes being bought up in the suburbs all over

547
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: America are from like corporations, you know. And I don't

548
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: blame him. I mean the thing I go back and

549
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: forth on, I'm gonna do a little recon trip in

550
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to Arizona. Is am I better off?

551
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: Like if I don't want to sell the condo that

552
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm in and I want to keep this to rent out,

553
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: slash keep and Airbnb? It am I better off buying

554
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,239
Speaker 1: a home in Arizona and moving there, or buying, you know,

555
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: a couple cheaper homes and renting them both out. I

556
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: don't know. And part of it is like when people

557
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: have more money, they just get more aggressive. Part of

558
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: being more aggressive in the NFL when it comes to

559
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: coaches and when it comes to general managers. If I

560
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: make seven eight million dollars a year and you you

561
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: give me if I'm a head coach or GM. Let's

562
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: say I'm a GM and you give me a five

563
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: year contract at three million dollars a year, that's fifteen

564
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: million dollars. And I have been living pretty well before

565
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: I became a GM. Let's say I was making five

566
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Now I make three million dollars a year.

567
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: The media also doesn't do a good that's generational money

568
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: if you're not a moron and can invest right now,

569
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: one thing with generational money, don't you want your kids

570
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: to kind of have to work for it? I love this, Like,

571
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: my kids never have to work a day in their life.

572
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: So you want your kids just to be deadbeats. People

573
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 1: want them to work. You know, there's a balance, like,

574
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: what are you're just gonna hand your kid like five

575
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: million dollars? Like is that gonna work out? Well? You

576
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: know part of it. You know, you know people successful

577
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: people work for it. But you know that's a whole

578
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: another conversation. Ultimately, I just think it's aggressive gms and coaches,

579
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: and they're richer than now than they ever have been.

580
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: They're not worried about getting fired, you know, just not

581
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: worried about getting fired. Rich people fire me whatever when

582
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: you're gotta pay me to go away too. I'm I'm

583
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: so rich, Like I'm not worried about putting food on

584
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: my table. I'm not worried about paying the mortgage. Part

585
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: of being scared in life, and I'm scared is the

586
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: wrong word, but nervous when you're an employee and I've

587
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: been there knowing that I might lose a job, is

588
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? Right? If you're making fifty dollars,

589
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: you're always kind of on edge because if you lose

590
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: your job one, you don't have that much right and

591
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: you know probably saved. You don't have the ability to

592
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: live for a long time after unemployment runs out. You're

593
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: just kind of nervous. Even if you make a little

594
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: bit more and you have a family, right the paychecks stop,

595
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: you get nervous. Well, if you've been making millions of dollars,

596
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: and again, you're not a bozo, you can live for

597
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: a long time. So it's easier to be more aggressive

598
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: when you have more security, and these coaches and gms

599
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: have never had more security. Fan of the show, Big

600
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: Packers fan here, uh, I just wanted to see if

601
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: you think my take on the Roger situation was kind

602
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: of accurate. There's no way the Packers trade Rogers, and

603
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: I can't see him avoiding thirty seven million dollars. I

604
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: think being kind of a diva he is. He's gonna

605
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: hold out as long as he can, probably into exhibition

606
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: games just to prove his point, and then just in

607
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: time for the regular season, he'll show up so everyone

608
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: can praise him as the hero. I also think he

609
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: wants to get traded. I think he likes his legacy

610
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, but he just wants everything his way.

611
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: I think that could easily be the case. Is he

612
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: a diva? I think most famous people tend to be

613
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: have some diva qualities, and I think sometimes diva qualities

614
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: just think I know my importance. There's a fine line

615
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: of knowing your importance and kind of acting like a diva.

616
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: And I think we consider most people in that spectrum

617
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: a diva. When some of it is like, yeah, is

618
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: he a little into himself? Probably is? Does he know

619
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: that the franchise might crumble without him? We all do so,

620
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: Like is he wrong? Not totally? Is he making it

621
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: a pain in their ass? Yeah? Did they funk with

622
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: him a little bit when they drafted Jordan Love You?

623
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: They did? So It's somewhat of a two way street.

624
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not the biggest Aaron Rodgers defender, but the

625
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: player I saw last year was an unstoppable force. That

626
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: was as good as quarterback and be played. He mastered

627
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback position last year, mastered it. So I I

628
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: do think he has, you know, kind of a leg

629
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: to stand on and just like, hey, guys, you ain't

630
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: winning this without me, and he knows it. My name

631
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: is Trevin Martin, and I'm gonna be a junior at

632
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: the University of Nebraska and am looking to break into

633
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: the sports media field. My major sports media communication and

634
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: I have done a lot of play by play jobs

635
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: in the past, and I'm looking to break into a

636
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: bigger market. I'm a big Niners fan and was wondering,

637
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: come next summer if you will keep my name in

638
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,959
Speaker 1: mind with some sort of internship. Big fan of the show.

639
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: By the way, it's kind of crazy, you know, I'm

640
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: just just a streamer podcaster. But a lot of younger people,

641
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, I've had a couple of zoom calls with

642
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: with I say, their kids, I mean, they're as for internships,

643
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, I mean, I honestly, I don't have necessarily,

644
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm not even there quite yet. It's definitely something that

645
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: I think about a lot, expanding what I'm doing and

646
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: adding people, and it's something I want to do, but

647
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: just as of right now, I don't necessarily have that,

648
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: But by next year, who knows, maybe I do. I

649
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: would say this if you're a young aspiring person to

650
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: work in sports. I know I had a lot of

651
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: people that reached out last year that had potential jobs

652
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: that got canceled by Corona. One thing my late father

653
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: used to always tell me, and he's so right, is

654
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: that you always think what's happening at the time is

655
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: the craziest shit to ever happened. But just pick up

656
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: a history book. Crazy things have always happened and moments

657
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: in society. Industry is changing, Uh, companies getting wiped out,

658
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: new companies starting. We're just an ever changing world. And

659
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: as things change, like I I think there is gonna

660
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: be a huge, huge change in media and sports media

661
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: specifically over the next decade. Uh, these independent companies are

662
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna grow much bigger and bigger. When I was a kid,

663
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: you know when in terms of sports media, you got

664
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: the paper and anyone listening that's around my age thirty

665
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: five or older. But hell, even like thirty year older,

666
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: when the newspaper came, whether you lived in the Bay

667
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: Area right or I lived in Davis. Growing up, we've

668
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: got the Sacramento be in the San Francsco Chronicle. I

669
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: didn't get to choose who I read. I just read

670
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: what they gave me. That those days ended. With the Internet,

671
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: I get to pick and choose who I read. And

672
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: then as time has gone on, like listen the consumer,

673
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: we don't read as much as we do now. We

674
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: watch videos. So if I go to YouTube, I watched

675
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: what I want to watch. I get to pick. It's

676
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: like when I go to a restaurant. I don't eat

677
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: the food they hand me. I picked the the item

678
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: on the menu that I want, and that is only

679
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: gonna get bigger and bigger because the consumer dictates this

680
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: ship now forever, the company's dictated you have to read this,

681
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: you have to watch this now. If I don't like

682
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the game on TV, I watched the game. If I

683
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: don't like any of the games, I'll watch a movie.

684
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: If I don't like that movie, I go to another.

685
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: I go to Amazon Primeacy. If they got a two shows,

686
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: we got options, and I think if I was in

687
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: it might not feel like this if I was a

688
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: young kid in college. I promise you I'm thirty six

689
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: years old. You guys are gonna have so many options,

690
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: and really, you can control your own destiny. There's never

691
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: been an easier time to put a put reels together,

692
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: put your own stuff on YouTube, put your stuff own

693
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: stuff on the Instagram. You guys have a huge, huge

694
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,479
Speaker 1: advantage right now. And I think it's natural, not saying

695
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: that you're saying this, but if you look on the

696
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: internet right it can be a negative place. Oh, it's

697
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: all screwed. Everyone's gonna everyone's gonna be out on the

698
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: street now. You know, just things will change and uh,

699
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: people will have success. It's the way it always works.

700
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: So just if you're a young person and it's been

701
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: a crazy year during Corona, be optimistic. I promise you

702
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: the cream always rises in any era, in any decade.

703
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: But I think this next there, they're gonna be a

704
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities. They're gonna look different than traditional opportunities,

705
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be just as lucrative, and honestly, you're

706
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna have more control over your own destiny. I I think,

707
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: do you think we are in the golden era of

708
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver duos in the NFL? Or have you have

709
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: the rule changes in quarterback play elevated the position between

710
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: Julio Brown, Evans, Godwin Lockett, Metcalf and of course my

711
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Texans dynamic duo of Cooks and Nico Collins. It seems

712
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: like the league has never been more I've never had

713
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: more wide receiver talent. Yeah, I think it's just a

714
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: nature of the progression of the sport. We throw more

715
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: now than we ever have in high school and in college. Well,

716
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: just look at the last couple of drafts. A ton

717
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: of wide receivers have been taken really high. They're all

718
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: good immediately. It's like it's like in the NBA, you're

719
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot more people hitting three point shots.

720
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: The more you throw, the better wide receiver play. You

721
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: could argue running backs back in the day, we're probably

722
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: better right in the eighties or nineties, you just ran

723
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: the ball more in college. Now running backs are probably

724
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: better now at catching the football than they ever have been.

725
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: Things just change and you adapt. But I would agree

726
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: with that statement. Longtime listener, keep it rolling. Portland Trailblazer

727
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: question lay after we'll end on this, what's your take

728
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: on the current situation with restructuring the team. The team

729
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: is on borrow time with Dame being on the wrong

730
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: side of thirty. What are the answers here? Small market

731
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: equals small minded. Well, I know he passed away, but

732
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: they had one of the richest owners, and I mean

733
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: his family still has it. In the league, Paul Allen

734
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: has an unlimited amount of money. Now, small market equals

735
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: more star players don't want to come there less than

736
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: small minded. I think their problem is and listen, Terry

737
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: Stotts that they've just played the Warriors a lot. He's

738
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: a good coach. To think that they're going to upgrade

739
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: is not a fact. And I just think that one

740
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: the fundamental problem they have. They're two best players are tiny.

741
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: The Warriors, for example, whose best player is Steph Curry,

742
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: they always surrounded him with elite defensive players Clay Thompson,

743
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Draymond Green. When Durant got here, he became an elite

744
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: defensive player. Andrea Gudala is one of the more versatile

745
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: defensive players ever. The Trailblazers have done the opposite. You

746
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: can't win in the NBA playoffs if you don't play defense.

747
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: Same thing in the NFL. If you do not play defense,

748
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: you will not win Super Bowl. Tam Bay Buccaneers Super

749
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: Bowl champs. The year before Kansas City started playing defense,

750
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: Boom Super Bowl Championship. Their opponent who wasn't I don't

751
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: know the Niners. What did they do? Play defense? You

752
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: gotta play defense to win in to win in basketball

753
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: or football. You could argue baseball too. You have to

754
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: play good defense in the playoffs. So if you don't

755
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: play defense, you can't win big. You can win the

756
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: regular season. The thing is in the regular season the NBA,

757
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: it's never been easier to win. Most of the regular

758
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: season the NBA is kind of a joke. Even the

759
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: teams acknowledge that. The players acknowledge it. The Trailblazers, you know,

760
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: I hate to say it. I wouldn't necessarily do this,

761
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: but could you trade Dame Lillard for at cents on

762
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: the dollar and just get a historic return and just

763
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: kind of blow it up? That sucks, And I know

764
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,319
