Whoa you know they're out there, West, 12 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: there are none out there. We've done some research and 13 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: this Mori Povid show has been going through the roof 14 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: lately so where it's starting to copy some of their 15 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: model for the off season. Does Mari Povid still have 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: a show? I think he does, Actually, it really does. 17 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a softer show now though it's got 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: a much softer side to it. U West, It just 19 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: West has been around the block of time or two. 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: Well that's not that's totally unfounded and untrue. And I'm 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: just saying in terms, you're an older man. I'm an 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: old fashioned kind of guy, Dan, and you've been a 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: long term relationship type of guy. Definitely a long term Yeah, 24 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: so you're completely ruling out the possibility. Yeah, it's it's out. 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: I've stayed in contact with every woman. Well, then we 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: have got a surprise for you. Bring her in that 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Sydney is your daughter the time. Sorry, Sydney is already 28 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: disgusted with at least one of us. Okay, welcome to 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast, the Thursday edition, our final 30 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: show of the week. Um a show, a special show, 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: a show in which will break down many things about 32 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, including Chris Wessling's back. So why not dig 33 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: into a westlen banger? Uh? He broke down his top 34 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: offenses of the of the NFL, and he broke it 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: down one into a group of fifteen. Was it was? 36 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: He went pretty deep on this one. Well, I went 37 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: top ten and then a mix of teams in the hunt. Yes, 38 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: so it uh in the realm of fifteen. So I 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: feel like a kind of nailed it, even if I'm 40 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: not exactly right. Could be fourteen, but you could give 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: me fifteen. Right, They're about okay good. We will also uh, 42 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's Mother's Day coming up this weekend, maybe 43 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: share some thoughts about our old ladies. Is that people 44 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: still using that term. I think that's what you call 45 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: what people would in in a not nice way to 46 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: call someone that they're that they're married to. I don't 47 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: think you call your mother an old lady. I wouldn't 48 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: do that. I would not call my wife an old lady. Yeah. 49 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that people used to say 50 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: in like nineteen seventies sitcoms and about their wives. Archie 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: Bunker's like, hey, get over all l achy, oh call 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: me all light. I mean she was though, that's the thing. 53 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: She was an older woman. My wife is seven years 54 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: younger than I'm. It's a little bit mislabeled. Humble Bragg 55 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: the Wonderful Jean Stapleton's how it works. Um. We also 56 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: will do some news little announcement at the bottom of 57 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: the show. We got I mean a lot.

So we got a lot to get to. Uh. 60 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: To do that, we will go behind the glass. Officially 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: it is Chris Westling's love child conceived around maybe the 62 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: fall of the Berlin Wall. I'm gonna say in that 63 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: out that time territory, Sydney Carlson, New Money.

Let's do this thing. 72 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: Let it, let's do this thing. Let's do some news. 73 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: Thank you. That reminds me. Actually, um, do you have 74 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: any comment, positive or otherwise. Earlier a show earlier this week, 75 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: we asked Mark to name the Star Wars character that 76 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: you most identify each of us with, and we went 77 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: around the room and Mark thought that you best symbolized 78 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Chewbacca in a very positive way. I'm not that manly 79 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: Chewbacca is. I mean I I what I said was 80 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: extremely loyal, Like basically, he's the saint. He is a 81 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: B line no matter what's happening around him. He you 82 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: can count him to be the same guy. Do you 83 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: ever see Chewbacca freak out and runaway? No, he's constant. 84 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: I've never really seen him do anything. None of you 85 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: guys have watched the movies. But he's he's actually quite 86 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: quite a good character, quite a help to the people 87 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: around him. And let's just it might check out. Can 88 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: we hear it? Let's hear Chewbacca, and let's hear Chewbaca 89 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: one more time. All right, now it's your West Benga. 90 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: I'd like to think I'm slightly more eloquent. I mean, 91 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: based on that alone. Uh, let's start with some bad 92 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: news UM for Mark Sessler's team. Uh. Josh Gordon does 93 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: not look like he's getting on the field anytime soon, 94 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: and this could be the end. The NFL has denied 95 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: the wide receiver his reinstatement petition. According to rap Sheet, 96 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: this came out of Thursday. Tom pel Sero of the 97 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: USA Today had at first Gordon, who is twenty six 98 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: years old now, UM filed papers in March to have 99 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: his indefinite suspension lifted. UH and UM there had been 100 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: positive news out there or reports that he was going 101 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: on the right track, but apparently maybe not because the 102 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: idea that um that they would now push this uh 103 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: suspension further into the season into the fall tells us 104 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: Mark potentially that he might have relapsed or something else 105 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: is going on, and it makes you think if we're 106 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: ever going to see him again in the NFL. Well, 107 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: we don't know, but obviously he didn't do enough to 108 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: convince Roger Goodell that he needs to be back in 109 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: the league. And you say it's bad news for me. Honestly, 110 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: for me, it's no news. I think the guy has 111 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: been a non factor for so long. Now. There was 112 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: the there was the Josh Gordon roller coaster where you 113 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: thought he was gonna come back be part of the team. No, 114 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: it's like looking at you know, super old girlfriends on 115 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: on Facebook and they now have like four kids and 116 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: you could care less. It's like you're out, Like you're 117 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: out of my life and you're out of Cleveland's life. 118 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: I think the Browns have moved down. You're still looking 119 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: at the pictures Josh Gordon. I had to write the story. 120 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: I mean I'm involved still occasionally go on Facebook and 121 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: well this got turned into something completely else. But it's 122 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, take it, take it, take it as you will, 123 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: follow the breadcrumbs by the way. Espn is Josina Anderson 124 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: reported that Gordon's agent quote terminated their relationship roughly two 125 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: weeks ago. West certainly seems like there's something going on 126 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Now. I feel like Josh Gordon is 127 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: is a recurring character in this podcast who was signed 128 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: on to be full time by now he's like the 129 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: Nick Tortelly, like, do you have him on and realize, 130 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: oh no, we got it's another Josh Gordon's special because 131 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: he pops back. If if if we were more ambitious 132 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: and wanted to give Sydney an incredibly hard homework assignment, 133 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: we could go back and listen to the Josh Gordon's 134 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: reinstatement has been denied podcasts which have been occurring semi 135 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: annually for basically the entire length of this podcast, which 136 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: is four years old. Now, I mean, we could go 137 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: back and find six or seven. I'd love to hear 138 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: what I said at what we said back then. We 139 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: just I have NFL Network on in front of me 140 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: and they just showed a highlight of Josh Gordon and 141 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: it was Brandon Weed and throwing him a touchdown pass. Well, 142 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: it's how long it's hasn't played since when he when 143 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: when he came back during that Mike Petton year, when 144 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: they when they thought, oh there's six and three, we're 145 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: getting Josh Gordon back soon. This is a playoff ticket 146 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: and the whole thing crumbled. And other suspension news. Daryl Washington, 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: who was recently reinstated by the NFL. UH, he won't 148 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: be back with the Arizona Cardinals. It's something that we 149 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: kind of predicted, although you didn't have to be a 150 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: genius to figure it out. The Cardinals decided, despite Washington 151 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: be back in the picture, they're gonna move forward without him. 152 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: They released Uh, the linebacker on Thursday. Uh. This came 153 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: after a meeting with the team the team president Michael 154 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: Bidwell and general manager Steve Kim, as well as Bruce 155 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: Arians and Uh. The team had this to say in 156 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: a statement, after meeting with Daryl Washington, we have collectively 157 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: decided his best to release Daryl and give him the 158 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: opportunity to continue his career elsewhere. Greg Rose without thirty 159 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: years old, out of the game for a couple of years, 160 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: will he continue his career elsewhere? At least his NFL 161 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: career now, I don't think so. I don't think any 162 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: team is even going to give him a chance. He's 163 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: been gone even longer than Josh Gordon. He hasn't played 164 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: since two thousand and thirteen. And you know what got 165 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: him kicked off the field initially was a domestic assault, 166 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: which he played guilty toward for, and then since then 167 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: he's had drug problems as well. I just think with 168 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: the current climate, what why, it just feels like it's 169 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: it's a little too desperate, even for NFL teams who 170 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: want talent on their teams to even bother right, I 171 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, the Cardinals couldn't have made it 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: any more clear when he was last suspended that he 173 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: completely let that team down. That's a different type of 174 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: team than some other NFL teams, So not just going 175 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: they're not going to get desperate and their release when 176 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: they when he was when it suspended, when he's allowed 177 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: back in, it was so clear they wanted nothing to 178 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: do with them, and these gms and these coaches talk 179 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: and so someone else that they're gonna have to go. 180 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: Maybe someone pick up the phone and say, Cardinals, do 181 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: you think there's anything worth it, hear, and they're not 182 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: going to get a good review. I think would I 183 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: be shocked if he got to work out somewhere, No, 184 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: I mean I would. I be very surprised if he 185 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: he makes it through a training campus on somebody's aster. Yeah, 186 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: but we don't know. We got I guess a lot 187 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: to see how he looks. I mean, he was a 188 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: very We talked about this. He was a very good 189 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: linebacker before he went away. But a guy whose game 190 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: was based on speed, you disappear for two years, West, 191 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: you're probably not the same guy anymore. He was a 192 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: pro bowler, but that was when he was six years old. 193 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: Now he's thirty. Teams don't generally want thirty year old linebackers. 194 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: That's a long time to not play professional football in. 195 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: Just like Josh Gordon and other Cardinals news, they have 196 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: signed Blaine Gabbert. So Blaine Gabbert got a job before 197 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. For those scoring at home, uh, Gabbert signed 198 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: a one year deal. According to rap Sheet, Gabert joins 199 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: a depth chart in Arizona that has of course Carson Palmer, 200 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: but also Drew Stanton and Zack Desert. Oh boy, Mark. 201 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: So the I guess the takeaway from me here is 202 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: the Cardinals still have no succession plan in place, and 203 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: maybe that's not gonna happen for another year at least. 204 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals, if there was to be one, 205 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: it was very clear there was interest in some of 206 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in the draft. Probably Patrick Mahomes was on 207 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: that list. They weren't going to reach for another one 208 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: that they didn't actually like to fit into Bruce arians offense, 209 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: and so you do wait another year. Bruce Arians like 210 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: big armed quarterbacks with tools, and Blaine Gabber it is 211 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: that even if he's not a very good quarterback. There 212 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: is a report at moving on, there was a report 213 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: out there, this coming from Michael Lombardi, former NFL personnel 214 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: man now with the Ringer, that the forty Niners are 215 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: actively shopping star linebacker Navarro Bowman or I should say 216 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: that they're interested in trading Bowman. Uh. And this was 217 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: a report that the forty Niners thought needed to be 218 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: addressed head on. A joint statement from John Lynch and 219 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan read. The report that we have been shopping 220 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: Navarro Bowman is completely false. From the time we joined 221 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: the organization. Navarro has been the consummate professional. It is 222 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: evident he has been working very hard to prepare for 223 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: the up coming season, and we have been impressed by 224 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: what we have already seen on the field. We are 225 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: looking forward to Navarro's future contributions to this team. You're 226 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: buying it, West, Yeah, it's pretty You rarely hear teams 227 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: come out that strong. But I don't think they would 228 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: trade Namorrow more Navarro Bowman. If there's a face of 229 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: the franchise right now, it's him. Well, it's one of 230 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: those statements that had me googling, what report are they 231 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: talking about. I'm sure the first uh news of this 232 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: Navarro Bowman potential trade was learned by most people from 233 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: this statement denying it in the first place. Lombardi for 234 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: what it's worth, and I think it's significant it said 235 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: afterwards he stands, he stands totally by it. And it's 236 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: also worth pointing out he was the first one to 237 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: say Richard Sherman was on the trade block and a 238 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: lot of people didn't believe that for a while, and 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: then that proved to be true. So I don't think 240 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: he's getting it from the forty nine. He's probably getting 241 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: it from other other teams. Well, he works for the Patriots, 242 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: and maybe he's getting it from teams that they're calling. 243 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: I would say, though, if you make a statement like this, uh, 244 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: they've realized whatever, if they were looking for something, you know, 245 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: that he was possibly available, they realized they're not getting it, 246 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: and they want they're ready and expecting him to be 247 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: on the team. You don't make a statement to make 248 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: yourself look like a liar later, right, And it's a 249 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: new regime that can't really afford in may to disenfranchise 250 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: like their defensive leader or any real leader on that team. 251 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: So they're trying to you know, on the flip side, 252 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: you look at the let's say the Patriots model. He 253 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: would be an ideal guy to trade if you can 254 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: get good value because you're not computing for the next 255 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: couple of years. How many years does Bowman v left 256 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: as a top flight start. I don't think you can 257 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: get any value for him. Well, if that's if that's 258 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: twenty nine, he's coming off in Achilles tear. I don't 259 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: play okay last year, not like it doesn't fit scheme. Probably, 260 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I like that. Uh, you just get 261 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: a sense John Lynch isn't afraid of being He's not 262 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: afraid of the media. He's not afraid of doing things 263 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: slightly differently us. The access that he gave to Peter 264 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: King and and that whole Draft Day report was really 265 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: interesting and kind of the way that he's handled his 266 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: media sessions. Even a statement like this, it's kind of like, 267 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm John Lynch, I'm gonna I'm just gonna do it 268 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: my way. I'm not gonna do it the normal way. 269 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: Every GM does like it. It's different. The flip side 270 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: is maybe he hasn't learned yet that you can't operate 271 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: that way and it'll get burned by it eventually. I 272 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: hope that's not true. You like these guys when they're 273 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: more upfront and honest. But yeah, I think they probably 274 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: knew they would get a media friendly guy out of him. 275 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: He understands that world entirely, and the GM one is different. 276 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: Moving on, Taj Sharp is dealing with some legal issues. 277 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: This is kind of an interesting story reported by the 278 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: Tennessee and a a man by the name of Dante 279 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: are sadder Field. The Stile file the lawsuit that claims 280 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: that Titans wide receiver Sharp had knocked him unconscious outside 281 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: the tin roof in Nashville. I guess is that a 282 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: famous bar? I'm way off on my next I mean 283 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: it sounds like a bar. If you're calling it the 284 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: tin roof in Nashville, it must be very famous. I 285 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: have not been to Nashville. I would like to go 286 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: to Nashville. I would too in the Predators. How about 287 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: that for an NHL I think, do you have a 288 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: podcast onto Nashville. They won't send us to London. Let's 289 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: go to Nashville. That's our backup plan anyway. So probably 290 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: it's probably an independent like Santa Barbara, but we could 291 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: do that a Thursday night Titans game or something on board. 292 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Maybe we're sweetened the deal. There a possible team of 293 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: UH around the NFL nominee. I think we can actually 294 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: makes I like it's like two thousand seventeen lower expectations. 295 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: That's our new model. Rank just volunteered to convince the 296 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: shadow elite figures. By the way, Mark you said, Santa Barbara, 297 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: if we're lucky, if you know, really, it's going to 298 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: be in Culver City, right where we're sitting. That's also 299 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: that's more realistic and more probable. Anyway. So, according to 300 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: this lawsuit, Taj Sharp knocked out a dude, uh while 301 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola quote served as a look out. 302 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: Uh Sadderfield, I want a scene, suffered broken bones in 303 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: his face, a perforated ear drum that sounds like a 304 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: battle outside West's place, and Tybee a concussion and was 305 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: unconscious for twelve hours. My goodness. And you want to 306 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,239 Speaker 1: know why, Uh, this alleged fight took took place? Why 307 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: because the man that had his ear drum jacked up 308 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: said The altercation occurred following a disagreement he had with 309 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: Sharp after the Titans drafted Corey Davis, UH wide receiver 310 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: in the first round. Apparently, this gentleman had contended to 311 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: Sharp that the arrival of Corey Davis will cut into 312 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: your playing time. So Sharp later in the night said hey, 313 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: come meet me outside, and he beat that of him. 314 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: Anyone else wanna make any comments about Taj Sharp declining 315 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: in snap count this year, Go ahead, I'm gonna I'm 316 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna edit that projected starters where he didn't even make 317 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: the cut anymore. I would get in there immediately. I 318 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: don't think there's any reason why you shouldn't be doing 319 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: it right. I mean, it should be pointing out this guy. 320 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: You would never condone violence. Go on this guy. The 321 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: guy who's talking to him is a jerk. Sounds like 322 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: good karma should be coming back at him for being 323 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: a jerk, and it did. I've spent a lot of 324 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: time in bars, and I've seen a lot of bar fights, 325 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: and every single one of them the guy had it coming. 326 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: And for the record, Sharp's agent, Blaine roach Uh said 327 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: that the claims are ridiculous and denied all involvement and 328 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: the local authorities have an open investigation. The Titans are 329 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: quote aware of the incidents the Tin Roof. Let's go 330 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: onto Nashville. Obviously we would have the podcast at the 331 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: Tin Roof that goes without saying, and we could do 332 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: a whole segment in the very spot where that dude's 333 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: your drumas perforated from feel like that's fun. That's a 334 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: fun story is still going to be a extremely relevant 335 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: when we're finally traveling as a FORCEO. This is the 336 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: biggest story of the year right here. It's Sharp's fight story. 337 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: And finally the news Cam Newton Uh turns twenty eight 338 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: years old today. Happy birthday, Cam and Uh. To celebrate that, 339 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: he released a video on his Instagram account and West, 340 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: I know you in the past have been known to 341 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: call Camer Newton by a very specific turn of phrase 342 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: on your part, right, and that if if you're plugged 343 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: in at all on his Instagram account, that is not 344 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: decreasing as he ages. Uh. In fact, his entire Instagram 345 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: profile on the offseason is just a series of glamour 346 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: shots of really Cam Newton by himself almost at all times. 347 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: So that's how I like to run my Instagram accounts. Yeah. So, anyway, 348 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: for his birthday, he released his own video uh, in 349 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: which he is rapping and lip syncing along to the 350 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: to the Two Chains classic birthday song. It's called and Uh. 351 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: It looks like a little bit of deduction value went 352 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: into this, some money. And then there was some type 353 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: of weird text that he uses as a caption, what 354 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: is going on with Cam Newton? Greg Or, we should 355 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: we be concerned at all about Cam Newton? I mean, 356 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: I think you got a back off Cam Newton. I've 357 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: always been on the other side that. Okay. I don't 358 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: think he's a preating small He's a young guy, he's 359 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: a young guy who's got you know, the world by 360 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: the balls. He's he's cocky. You know. News flash. NFL 361 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks are confident guys, confident young men. It's different 362 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: now that it's like they're younger than us, so it's 363 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 1: like it's a different coins. Is a bad argument, by 364 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: the way, because we're all in agreement of everything you're saying. 365 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me. 366 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: That's not my question. Did it bother you? Wasn't my question? 367 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: Could you hang out with Cam Newton Gregg? Could? I know? 368 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: But could I hang out with like just about any 369 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback? No? Probably not. I'm saying like over time, 370 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 1: like if you look at like the nineties quarterbacks, two 371 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: thousand quarterbacks, No, I don't have a lot of common 372 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: with them. Probably. I mean that that is a fair point. 373 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: It's not like it would have been like easier fun 374 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: potentially hang out with Dan Reno in the not at 375 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: all exactly. I mean maybe in college according to some reports. 376 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: I guess my point is he's writing in his own language. 377 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: That's that's annoying, that that scripting is the scripting with 378 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: it's actually bony ver. Uh like the way that he 379 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: wrote his album song titles. It's very similar to the 380 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: way that Cam writes. Uh. It's very annoying, which actually 381 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: turned me off to that. I call bon ivor I 382 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: always have. It's incorrect. The good album stands for good Winter, 383 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: there you go, which is a nice it's a nice 384 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: way to characterize their music. Good job, But I'm sorry 385 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: for taking this. He has he has his own text. 386 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: The photos are wild, the video mark, do you have 387 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: any issues with Cam Newton? I mean, you know, if 388 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is gonna play into his mid forties, that 389 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: tells you that we could potentially have another seventeen years 390 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: of Cam Newton. My my take would be that's a 391 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: little bit more Cam Newton than I need. You know, 392 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: by the time he retires, I'm deep into my you know, 393 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: the end of my life at that point. Please so no, 394 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: I think Cam Newton probably though honestly, there I think 395 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: it's a generational thing going on where he's obviously not 396 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: connecting with uh me other people. I like him as 397 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: a player. I think he's fascinating as a player, but 398 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: there there are a ton of people in our office 399 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: who think he's fantastic and amazing and entertaining and the rest. 400 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: So you know, he knows who he's marketing to and 401 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: this is this is marketing and he's doing a good 402 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: job of it for some people. Yes, it is. It's 403 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: got somebody in the highest office in the land. M hm. 404 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: I believe cam Newton's generation is a generation of one. 405 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: I think he's in his own world and I think 406 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: that's appealing to people too. Maybe it's maybe it's a 407 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: type of person that it's not an age thing that 408 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,239 Speaker 1: that each thing gets bannied about too much. Maybe it's 409 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: a type of person that finds the whole cam Newton 410 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: experience it feeds them, where I would say it does 411 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: not feed me. I also put it, how many ways 412 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: can I put it in? That's what's happening in the 413 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: off fields. You know, his persona is lacking in my book, 414 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: his rotator cuff looks pretty good. Well, he's dancing around 415 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: on the boat and stuff. So that's good news for 416 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Panthers fans. See, there's great news for you guys. Moving on, So, 417 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: Chris Westling wrote a banger. It is a breakdown of, 418 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: in his estimation, the top ten offenses in the NFL, 419 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: UH and I think a good way to get into 420 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: this Now. West has the Patriots number one and the 421 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: Steelers number two, and that shouldn't be a surprise. If 422 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: you listen to this podcast we've done, We've talked plenty 423 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: about those two teams. Um, he rounds out the top 424 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: five Falcons, Raiders, and Dallas Cowboys. That's not a huge 425 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: surprise to me. Is anybody surprised by West is top five? 426 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: That all seems to check out. You could quibble with 427 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: whether you think that the Falcons should be behind the Raiders, 428 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: or or maybe the Cowboys should even be hired, But 429 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: to me, I'm signed off on that top five. Nice 430 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: Joy Christmas, I am too. The only concern I would 431 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: have is, you know, shifting from Kyle Shanahan, one of 432 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: the best play callers in football, to Steve Sarkisian, who 433 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: I think is you know, was a surprising hire for 434 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons, and how do you keep all 435 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: of what happened last year going again? That's that that's 436 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: the team I need to see it from right. I 437 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: kind of look at it like the coaches don't come 438 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: with it, like you're like you're picking teams on a 439 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: playground or whatnot, and I am. I would take the 440 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Raiders players and definitely the Cowboys player. I would put 441 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys at number three. I would take those players 442 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: over the players on Atlanta. I mean, they got Julio 443 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: Jones and Matt Ryan. They have a great backfield. It's 444 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: not like they're bad. But if I'm just picking between 445 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: those two, you're talking about some primetime talent on the 446 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: on the Raiders and Cowboys, even more so than the Falcons. 447 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: In my last year, they had the best backfield and 448 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: the best receiving corps in the NFL. See, I would 449 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: have disagree. Like the recener m v P at quarterback, 450 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is great. The other players are all good 451 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: NFL players. I think that Gabriel was about as good 452 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: of a playmaker as you can find. I think it's 453 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: part if you can find guys like Taylor Gabriel, I 454 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: think you can well. They part of the scheme. It's 455 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: part of the scheme, and it's part of right. By 456 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: all rights, they should be number one coming off an 457 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: historically efficient season, but they did get docked for the 458 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: loss of Kyle Sene. Yeah, if you're both you're looking 459 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: at from two different respectives. I would even say, if 460 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at it from the great perspective, just pure 461 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: playground roster building, I could say the Steelers to me 462 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: might be number one, but putting Bill Belichick all of 463 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: a sudden, well they got a nice edge at quarterb 464 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: I thought that too, if we was just if you 465 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: took the quarterback out of the equation, then I would 466 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: give it to the Steelers. But the Patriots have a 467 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: nice little nice edge they're at quarterback. Yeah, you also 468 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: like depth matters, and the Steelers have not had a 469 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: good backup behind their injury prone starter for a long time. Yeah, 470 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: it's hurt him. I mean, but if you ever put 471 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: Levy on Bell, Antonio Brown and some of these other 472 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: guys into into the New England offense this year, that 473 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: would be wild. And and I'm thinking about the the 474 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: offensive lines too, and the Falcon certainly of a fine 475 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: offensive line. But like to Castro and Pouncy, those guys 476 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: are weapons. Uh you know, Tyrant Smith and and Travis 477 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Frederick and Vak Martin, those guys are weapons. That Raiders 478 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: offensive line is a weapon. So yeah, it's they're all 479 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: they're all close. But that's why I like those teams. 480 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: Jake Matthews will he survived what happened? He you know what, 481 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten a lot of heat for it. I 482 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: don't think. I'm sure he doesn't. Yeah, I'm sure because 483 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: everyone has put all the misguided focus on Kyle Shanahan 484 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: for everything. Right, there's so many things that went on 485 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: and everyone that said, uh, I've been talking about this 486 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: lately that everyone blames the coaches for that. Hey, how 487 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: about gained some yards when you run? Not to relitigate 488 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the last four or five runs they 489 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: had were either for a yard or lost yardage if 490 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: they had picked up three or four yards in the 491 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: third fourth quarter when they tried to run worked out. 492 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: I think the reason Kyle Shanahan's available to the media. 493 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: Matthews just vanished. I mean, offensive lineman just disappear the 494 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: entire right And it took I think it took some 495 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: really like rewatching and stuff like that for it for 496 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: it to really come together. Like how big a factory was? All? Right? 497 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: So who's just outside West is top five? You got 498 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: the Saints there? Uh? And again for a team that 499 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: I think we're all confident they're gonna drop another seven 500 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: and nine ball. Well, actually shouldn't say we all, I 501 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't speak for everyone, but just a reminder of how 502 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: good their offense is and if they just got together 503 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: on defense a little bit, they could be a perennial 504 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: contender still in the NFC. But it's not the case. 505 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: But just focus on the offense. West. You got them 506 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: at six with the Packers and Chargers trailing. We can 507 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: get into the Chargers in a second, but why did 508 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: you put the Saints ahead of the Packers. St are 509 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: up there every year, and while they got better in 510 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: their back deal with Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara, I'm 511 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: not wild about a Packers backfield led by Time Montgomery, 512 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: who is a wide receiver, doesn't run inside very well 513 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: and as well suited to passing downs. The other guys 514 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: are rookies and they may well be surprises. They may 515 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: well to take the lead by storm, But to my mind, 516 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: so far, their question marks is anybody else really surprised 517 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: that the Packers didn't. You can look at Time Montgomery. 518 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: I see people out there making just just like arguments 519 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: statistically for him and what he achieved last year. But 520 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 1: but honestly, it's it's to me it's it's so Packerrette 521 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: packers s to not go out and totally juice up 522 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: a position in the draft of free agency that you are. 523 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: You have almost too much trust sometimes and some of 524 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: these guys, I am with you. They need a running 525 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: back that can carry them through the later months of 526 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: the season. I don't think they've got a proven guy here. No, 527 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: maybe they will. Looking at their roster. They almost have 528 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: to sign a veteran running back. We'll see if it's 529 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: probably Chris someone that's really gonna make a huge different, 530 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: But Sydney's boy, Jamal Williams. To West's point, you don't 531 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: really want to be in a position where a fourth 532 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: round rookie running back Jamal Williams could be one of 533 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: the huge keys to that offense if he can give 534 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: them what they're hoping for in terms of between the 535 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: tackles guide and we've seen some late round picks that 536 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: running back make big impacts recently, Kenneth Dixon, Jordan Howard 537 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: last year. If he could be a huge factor. I 538 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: like that. You like the Saints stuff, saying West a 539 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: little surprised they're there every year. Got the Chargers at eight, 540 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,719 Speaker 1: and we just did an NFL Network hit on up 541 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: to minute live, but you usually well almost yeah, several 542 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: times a week. I'm gonna say, you know, anywhere between 543 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 1: two to four times a week, you're gonna catch us. 544 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: If you tune in right around I'd say four fifty Eastern. 545 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: Set your DVRs. It's in the back half of the 546 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: program later on, and we do a little hit every 547 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: every couple of days. And we talked about the Chargers 548 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: as a team to really watch in the n f 549 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: C West and their offense West. You are you are 550 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: high on that offense. Well, they retold the offensive line. 551 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: That's a bit of a question mark, but it certainly 552 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: looks better on paper. This year that's been a huge problem. 553 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: And they have one of the best wide receiver corps 554 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: if you include tight ends as well, Keenan Allen coming 555 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: back from a c L surgery, Tyrolle Williams, who Greg 556 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: has pointed out have one of the quietest one thousand 557 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: yards seasons you'll ever see. Then they've got a first 558 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: round pick Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin uh Antanoo Gates, Hunter Henry. 559 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: They're just loaded at the receiver positions. They are a 560 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: little shallow in the backfield. If mel and Gordon gets 561 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: hurt there in trouble, and they also up their offensive 562 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: line with a couple of picks second in the third round, 563 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: It's crazy to think of who's coming off the bench 564 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: for them right now. Let's say Mike Williams is getting 565 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: starter snaps. Travis Benjamin might be their number four wide receiver. 566 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: This is the guy who has fifteen hundred yards combined 567 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: over the last years. I mean, I'm not saying he's 568 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: the best receiver in the world, but he's a productive 569 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: of weapon. Antonio Gates, who's towards the end of the line, 570 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: but he's still had seven touchdowns five fifth yards. He's 571 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: probably coming off the bench right now. I mean that 572 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: is deep. They can survive injuries, and they're really young, 573 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: like their whole starting line up other than rivers at 574 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: the skill positions there and under. And then rounding out 575 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: the top ten, you got the Titans and Bucks, which 576 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: I like that because it seems to be something a 577 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: theme that's continuing from draft Day that Marcus Mariota and 578 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston seems to be tied together and here they 579 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: are in West's top ten back to back. Yeah, I 580 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: only gave the Titans of B minus at quarterback because 581 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: did a medical red flag index, they would be right 582 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: there at the top. That Mariota has been injured in 583 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: both of his first two years has ended the season 584 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: on I R and I think they have the worst 585 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the NFL. And Matt cast talk about 586 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: a team that didn't go on and Matt Castle plays, 587 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: Castle plays, they will lose that game, all right, But 588 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: let's look at one just. I don't want to spend 589 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: two long. I don't want to. Hey, by the way, 590 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: Matt Castle started one game last year, didn't they win it? 591 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: He was terrible. They want you just but it disproves 592 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: your point. They started one game they want it well, 593 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: which means that was their one time out of a 594 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: hundred though wins, they already got that out of I'm saying, 595 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,239 Speaker 1: can I just come downstairs the second and say that 596 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: none of this swiler led the Texas to the playoffs? Okay, 597 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm going back upstairs just for one. I was just saying, 598 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: you loved being meaning to Matt Castle. We've been defending 599 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: him for a long time. I'll say it in terrible. 600 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: Let's point out that the line below Jamis Winston's backups 601 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: are Ryan Griffin and Sean Renfree, So just saying he's 602 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: the very word Griffin could pass circles around Matt Castle. 603 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: I said for the Matt Castle programing for the year, 604 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: way more than people needed on Matt Castle. I mean 605 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line for Tampa Bay. That's got to be 606 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: one of the weakest units in this entire article for 607 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: any team. It's it's the problem. And all these teams 608 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: in the hunt, like the Redskins, Colts, Cardinals, Panthers, Bengals, Giants, 609 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: I've got them listed, all have awesome offensive lines. Question, well, 610 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: the Redskins don't put the other teams to It's a 611 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: huge problem. It's a difference between the guys and the 612 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: top five and the team's at ten to fifteen on offense. 613 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm a dork. I love the format of this article, 614 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: how he broke it down by groups and gave each 615 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: group a grade very little to quibble with, which is 616 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: usually what I try to do. But why are you 617 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 1: and the knees wid Yeah, it's it's great if you're 618 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: a dork likes me, but how what what more does 619 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: de Marco Murray and Derrick Henry have to do to 620 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: get above a B. That's a nice backfield. You're a 621 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: tough greater. Think they're only a B. That might be 622 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: a copy and paste there, they're great, that's All'm not 623 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna beat them by much. There's your chance to edit its. Yeah, well, 624 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into your copy right now, make history. Yeah, 625 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: let's do it. She was giving them a B plus 626 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: or an A minus. I'm giving them an A minus. 627 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: They're all if Doug Martin and Charles Sims and I'm 628 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: not arguing this Andrew quiz Roger, they're a B. I'm 629 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: giving Titans to give him an minus. I'm in our 630 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: content manage. I mean, that's a great starter and a 631 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: great back up we're making. Let's break this, Sydney break this. 632 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Yeah that that's a bad job by me on the 633 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: copy of Day for the first time ever, a live 634 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: update of a post happening on the podcast.

Well, it'll 636 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: be great if an editor is in there adding content 637 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: videos and you go in and completely hop scotch their 638 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: work and it gets wiped out and they'll have no 639 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: idea where it came from until they look at the 640 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: history of the post and very mysteriously, we'll say, Dan Hansis, 641 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: they will have no idea how you can't touch me? 642 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: Uh did you say a minus? Yeah? A minus.

You went one through ten? 647 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: Where are the New York Jets in this list? One through? 648 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: Look at you, all high and mighty. What I'm asking 649 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: It's called a follow up question. Get your Josh Gordon 650 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: Jersey out of the closet question, go for a walk? Two? 651 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: All right, just just behind the Rams and Browns. Okay, 652 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: didn't ask for any more information. Are you happy you're 653 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: trying to hurt me? I want I was asking a 654 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: follow up question. It's what you do in this business. 655 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: I think that he'll get what's coming to you? Mark 656 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: thorough job by Mark from the regular season. Oh yeah, 657 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: so what we go We go to and fourteen gets 658 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, which was your plan until about two weeks ago, 659 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: when you realize the Jets are gonna do just enough 660 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: to get the eighth pick in the draft. Okay, I've 661 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: never said that they were going to do it. I 662 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: think that's what I want. Was a campaign of yours, 663 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: I should say I have no control over it. I'm 664 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: just saying that's what I want them to do. And 665 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: in fact, they are right on schedule. They've done everything 666 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: in their power, including drafting two safeties at the top 667 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: of the draft, to go to and fourteen. Now we 668 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: just have to have the magic happen. Now, just all 669 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: come together. You never know with chemistry how to get 670 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 1: to that. Losing fourteen out of sixteen, that's our type 671 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: of magic. I think we have it. I think you 672 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: start with Josh McCown, who's gonna last three quarters into 673 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: the opener, and then you got a Christian Nackenberg and 674 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: away we go. See that's all set up. Well, I 675 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: don't know if it will work out, and and we 676 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: might get four or five wins, but we'll see, all right. 677 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: You had nineteen teams. By the way, so earlier when 678 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: I said sixteen and I was feeling good about it, 679 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't feel as good about it anymore. That was 680 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: incorrect hosting work by me. I mean you said they're 681 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: about or we said in the range. I consider that's 682 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: in the fifteen twenty range. Okay, let yourself off the 683 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: hook man. All right, you can check that out at 684 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash whistling NFL dot com slash whistling. 685 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: All right, Mother's Day on Sunday. Let's quickly go around 686 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: the horn and uh and this is going I like 687 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: this where Greg has to get in touch with the 688 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: sensitive side. Let it out start the world. So we're 689 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: gonna save him for last. We'll start with Mark. What 690 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: am I I'm I'm basically speaking about my mom? Right? Well, 691 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: that is I think like this is Hey, my mom 692 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: listens to the show. I know she does, and I 693 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: would not be here. I'm sure this is true of 694 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: all of us, but I definitely would not be here 695 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: if my mom specifically did not completely support me through 696 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: a period of life twenties into the thirties, much longer 697 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: than a son should have figured out what he's doing 698 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: and and started to give back to the parents. It 699 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: was not happening in my case nearly enough and utterly 700 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 1: supported me no matter what I tried to do, all 701 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: sorts of stops and starts. And from a sports angle, 702 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think She was surprised that this 703 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: is what I wanted to do because our house growing up, 704 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: my brother and I three years part separated us, but 705 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: we loved all the same stuff. And it started in 706 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: the minute we got up. We would fight over the 707 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: sports page, and when it would be at night, we 708 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 1: would be it's Mets games, It's it's it's NFL football, 709 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: NonStop NBA games, something that siren in the background playing 710 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: in every NBA stadium. She just wants to probably have 711 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: a nice weekend at home, read a book, have a 712 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 1: conversation with her family. Everyone is locked on the TVs 713 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: all day long, and it's the driving to Pop Warner 714 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: Football five nights a week and then having to get 715 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: back in the car. It's baseball, it's basketball. I mean 716 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: this minivan we had with like this wood paneling on 717 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: the side bogged like twenty five thousand miles of her 718 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: driving us all over town for all our various interests. 719 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: So it's just like you look back on someone, I 720 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: would say, I don't have a single bad memory of 721 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: her because from wire to wire whatever, we basically we're 722 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: into whatever we wanted to do. And that's right up 723 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: to today. She was all on board with it. So 724 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day to my mom. I think that's very 725 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: well put. And I feel the same way about deb 726 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 1: uh my mom. She was always always super supportive anything 727 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: I was into, which as a kid was basically sports. 728 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: So uh and I can't imagine my mom who is 729 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: not a sports fan but has been married to uh 730 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: my father for forty years uh more than that now 731 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,479 Speaker 1: and has been forced to watch Yankees games for three 732 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: hours every day for six months. And like, she's always 733 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: been cool with the idea that we we were a 734 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: sports family, me, my brother, and my dad, and also 735 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: the idea of of my mom having to you know, 736 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: go to soccer games and baseball games. Like my dad 737 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: did a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of 738 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: watching us at the events. When my mom went to 739 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: a lot of games too, I bet that sucked. And 740 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: those before cell phones and before anything to like she 741 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: definitely I don't know if she enjoyed like day so much. 742 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: She came and watched the shield and the softball and 743 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: had a great time. Well that's I mean, that's my dad. 744 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: It's finishing returns after but like you want to watch 745 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: your own kid, but you don't want to watch you know, 746 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: you know Mark Humphreys, Uh get his bats in Wally O'Malley, 747 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: you know what. I watched them also the Dodgers from 748 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: from Wally was wast wasn't a problem on that team anyway. 749 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: So yes, that is my thank you to my mom 750 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: for always supporting me and all my crazy sports endeavors 751 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: and uh you know, taking care of me. I love you, mom. Uh. 752 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: My mom had seven boys because starting with me the 753 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: number two, she desperately wanted a girl to play paper 754 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: dolls with and this was gonna be Maggie. She was 755 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: a girly girl type of mom at the start. All 756 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: seven of us boys played baseball, basketball, in either soccer 757 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: or football, and we were and we're all ten years 758 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: of each other. So Saturdays and Sundays while we were 759 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: growing up was I remember Mom drawing out the list 760 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: to see which game she was gonna cover, in which 761 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: games Dad was gonna cover. They had to, you know, 762 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: somebody had to be at one had to be an 763 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: entire thing one of them, and one of them had 764 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: to be at the games. And Mom was always the 765 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: one in the stands sneaking in her her you know, 766 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: her wine or her coolers. You know the Bartles and 767 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: James sitting next to the loud mouth moms having fun. 768 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: She was, she was there, and I would say by 769 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: the time I was in high school, she was subscribing 770 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: to like the ESPN College Basketball package. She's a huge 771 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: sports fan then, and uh, just dealing with the all 772 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: we were obsessed with sports, baseball, cards, everything growing up 773 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: and she had to deal with all that. So she 774 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: was as as supportive as could possibly be. I'll never 775 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: forget the one night that we hung out with all 776 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: your brothers at the combine, that we got to look 777 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: into what the parents were dealing with the household. It's 778 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: amazing to think about you have two children. Actually every 779 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, the three of us have two children. It's 780 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 1: amazing to consider seven. I mean we all we had 781 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: one brother. One of your brothers walk up to me 782 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: and say just walk up to West and brother b 783 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: and say Lebron James first, Jordan, and I just said 784 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: it and I walked back and for the next forty 785 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 1: five minutes just sipping on a beer watching these guys 786 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: going at it. Yeah, that was that was everything. That 787 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: was our entire childhood, just surrounded by sports. My my 788 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: mom is my mom. Debbie who listens to the show regularly, 789 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: really every show, um, which is awesome, although then she 790 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: always puts it like, well, that's the best way I 791 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: can keep up with you. It's the only thing I 792 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: hear about your life, Barbara. So that's troubling, but I'm 793 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: I'm glad she listens to it. And it's partly because 794 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: she's weirdly turned into a big time Patriots and big 795 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: time football fan, like since I've left high school, not 796 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: as big a fan as my dad perhaps, who booed 797 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell at the super Bowl, but still still a 798 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: very big fan. And I'm just thinking about, yeah, I know, 799 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: I know, we get he gets a free ticket from 800 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell and then he boozed Rogers. That's that's the 801 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: throat of ease. I feel. I feel bad in hindsight that, 802 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: like I didn't like having my mom at sporting events, 803 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: like if it was like a big time like tennis matcher, 804 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: whatever it was, like I almost wouldn't want to see her, 805 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't want to hear like what a how 806 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: big of a jerk do you have to be? The 807 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It can make you nervous, 808 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: but yeah, I just like didn't want it, like it 809 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: was a reminder of the outside world and you just 810 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: wanted to be totally, totally focused in. It's like Mike 811 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: Tyson would ruin every relationship in his life before a 812 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: fight because he doesn't want to be soft. But she, 813 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: she was extremely supportive. Regular Mike Tyson, He's a strong, 814 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:02,959 Speaker 1: silent type. She was extreme only supportive. And there's no one, Um, 815 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: you know, I'm more like in the world than than 816 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: my mom. It's not even it's not even close. I've 817 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: been told this uh many times that we we are 818 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: on we were on the same wavelength. So we're all very, 819 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: very lucky men to have our moms. So Happy Mother's 820 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: Day to our mothers and your mothers and everyone's mom's. 821 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: And now finally before we go, wait a second, even 822 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: but right before that, I did want to say Mark 823 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,359 Speaker 1: wrote a great, great piece on Mother's Day. I thought 824 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: we were going to mention this as part of it 825 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Mother's Day. Is that out? Yeah, 826 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall's mom and Dominan Sue's mom and and the 827 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: Kelsey mom. Yeah, they were great. So just while we 828 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: were talking, speak up. I mean, I completely forgot about it. 829 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: They were they were great to talk to, and what 830 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: I you know, these pieces, you know, it's the it's 831 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: their voices. But I I thought that I learned something 832 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: about the Dominican Sue. Certainly learned about the Kelsey's and 833 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: especially Brandon Marshall and their mom. Just like kind of 834 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: telling what they were like as little boys was for me. 835 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: Everyone thinks they know what the Dominican Sue is like, 836 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 1: coming when the mom speaks about him, you get someone entirely, 837 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: entirely different. So give it a read. NFL dot com 838 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: slash Mother's Day, Mother's Day, nice vanity. You are all 839 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: a logical one. Yeah, it's a good score. Is there 840 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: an apostrophe in there? I don't believe so that would 841 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: that would be horrible. Yeah, that that would not be 842 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: good work. And uh, all right, And finally, I haven't 843 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: listed on our rundown for every show. Um wes is 844 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: totally minor thing. That's a bit of an understatement. So 845 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn it over to west Uh to share 846 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: a little bit about himself. You know, why he's been 847 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: missing the last couple of days and what's going on. Yeah, 848 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: I've been out the past couple of days, spending the 849 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: days in hospitals getting tests. They found a mass on 850 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,240 Speaker 1: my esophagus and it turns out it is cancer where 851 00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: my esophagus meets my stomach. Um. Before everybody freaks out listening, 852 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: my doctor is very encouraged that it did not spread. Uh. 853 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: She's mentioned very three or four times. She's very happy 854 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: for me with the results. Because when you here you 855 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: have a mass on yoursophaguess, it can go a lot 856 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: of different ways from you've only got X amount of 857 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: time to live to oh, whoops, we're sorry, we made 858 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: a mistake on the reading and you're fine. And to me, 859 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: getting a chance to battle this, get a chance to win, 860 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 1: and then go on to live a normal, happy, healthy 861 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: life is best case scenario. I am. I am relieved 862 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: just after speaking with my doctor. I'll be in the 863 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 1: hands of some great specialists, and I just wanted to 864 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: get out in front. You know, I'd rather address it 865 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: now and go beat this thing, to worry about not 866 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: telling people and and worry about having that in the background. 867 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: And now you get to go to Tybee Island for 868 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: the weekend on a previously planned vacation with the you're 869 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: bringing the paramour to Tybee Island for the first uh time, 870 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: and this has been going on all week and you 871 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,479 Speaker 1: didn't know if it was going to be totally hanging 872 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: over here, and now you're going to Tybee Island.
