I appreciate everyone that's been listening 16 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: all We got a lot of new listeners. UH football 17 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: season is back, so UH we're excited. We are very 18 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: very excited for uh, for the National Football League and 19 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: college football. I actually think college football is probably as 20 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: open as has been in the years. And when I 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: say that, you know eight ten teams have a chance 22 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: instead of just two or three. Uh, and obviously in 23 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: the NFL, I would say ten plus teams have a 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: chance to win the Super Bowl. AND's all you can 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: really ask for. This Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: is the Instagram firing those d ms. But I had 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: to start with this because when I recorded Thursday's podcast 28 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: that you probably listen to on Friday, potentially you haven't 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: listened to it yet. I was. I discussed a lot 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray and I have kind of all week. Well, 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: something happened Thursday, kind of after noon night, and I 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: had already sent the my podcast to my guy Holtz uh, 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: so it was already in the can, and I didn't 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: get a chance to talk about Bidwell and the Cardinals 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: taking the claws out of Kyler's contract. And I always laughed, 36 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: And this is an apples to apples, But Joe Rogan, 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, remember Spotify, Netflix, they took a ton of 38 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: ship from seventeen people on the internet, and everyone thought 39 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: that they were going to give in and take them off. 40 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: And I always laughed because it's like, whether you I 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: don't even listen to Joe Rogan. I think I've listened 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: to one of his podcasts over the years, with like 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, and obviously I don't have Spotify. I can't 44 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: even listen if I wanted to. But people don't realize 45 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: the reason Spotify paid him hundreds of millions of dollars 46 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: because he has ten plus million people that listen to 47 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: an episode that is way more than everything on television 48 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: and any radio show not named the National Football League. 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: He is an absolute cash cow. So no matter how 50 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: many of their seventeen employees that you couldn't add up 51 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: and be a h fiftieth of the value of Rogan 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: or Chappelle. With Netflix, when everyone freaked out on Twitter 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: and three of their employees like they weren't going anywhere. 54 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: Why because good businesses understand when they make a decision, 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: they do it for a reason, especially ones that print 56 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: them a lot of money. Now, this is not this 57 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: is the opposite. Because no one on the outside was 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: saying the Cardinals should fire, cut, or get rid of 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, though I've said over and over I would 60 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: have entertained trading him, but because of all the backlash 61 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: the team gave in, they just like Netflix, once upon 62 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: a time gave Chappelle a ton of money for a reason. 63 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: They knew his shows would crush. There was a reason 64 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Spotify paid Joe Rogan a lot of money. It was 65 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: very lucrative. There was a reason. And you can say 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: and listen, it's been reported that rap sheet who said 67 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: that Michael Bidwell was the driving force and listen. Do 68 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: I think he's the greatest owner? I do not. But 69 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: he didn't just randomly put this clause in the contract. 70 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, Steve Kim and being around the building, he 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: has an understanding and he's been told this guy does 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: not study. Plus he had a front row seat three 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: or four years ago with Carson Palmer, who was a grinder. 74 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: And I think that him taking this out is what 75 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: poor businesses do. They give in and light Netflix and Spotify. 76 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: You would never give up on those two. They're too 77 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 1: much money. This case, what is Kyler's leverage? Honestly, what 78 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: was his leverage? It's like the Netflix guy like, I 79 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: will quit if you do not get rid of Chappelle, 80 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Red hastenings okay, quit see audios. Kyler, I what what 81 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Where are you gonna go? Where 82 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: is Kyler Murray's leverage. I feel like they're running their 83 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: operation like an NBA team, and not the good NBA teams, 84 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: the bad NBA teams that overpay average play and then 85 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: listen to everything they want to do and never get 86 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: anywhere in the playoffs. That's what it feels like. Why 87 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: because Kyler Murray was kind of agitated and claiming that 88 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: you guys don't understand I watch film. Well, clearly they 89 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: don't believe you do, and they're around you every day, 90 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: and I was told specifically that it was an issue, 91 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: and he was constantly called out last year and this 92 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: organization after the way they ended. And again I'm not 93 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: I've never argued that his talent isn't immense that his 94 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: physical attributes. He's one of the most unique players we've 95 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: ever seen. But I can't get over the rush to 96 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: pay them. And then once you pay them and you 97 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: put specific language in the contract for a reason, you 98 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: give in because of what, because of the outside noise, 99 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: because of and listen football Unlike normal businesses. Sometimes normal 100 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: businesses like a lot of commotion. It drives people to business. 101 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: In football, it's a little different. You don't want people 102 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: outside creating chaos, because then it creates chaos inside the building. 103 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: But this is not going away. It's already out there. 104 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: It's all we're ever gonna think when we watch him play. Now, 105 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: did this guy study? Did he put it in any effort? 106 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: It's the number one thing we're all gonna think when 107 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: we watch Kyler Murray play Week one, he throws one pick. Oh, 108 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't studying film. That's just a fact, Jack. So 109 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals giving in is why they have consistently been 110 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: a below average organization in the history of time. This 111 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: is what the Arizona Cardinals do. Now, you can argue 112 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: putting it in the first place, I'd say I never 113 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: would have paid him. If this is your mindset of 114 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: having to put this in the clause, having to put 115 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: a clause like this in a contract, maybe that's an 116 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: enormous red flag. Maybe that's telling that you know, maybe 117 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: we should hold out until he proves. That's usually the 118 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: way good businesses work, right, you prove your or something, 119 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: then we pay you. The reason Dave Chappelle got hundreds 120 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars from Netflix. He has a twenty 121 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: year resume of dominating Joe Rogan had ten million people 122 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: potentially maybe it was like eleven or twelve listening to 123 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: him for five six straight years, big boy audience. The 124 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: reason Colin Coward is big time because he has a 125 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: lot of people that come to consume his content like this, 126 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't that complicated. Most quarterbacks who are 127 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: good consistently study. And I know Colin keeps using Big 128 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: Ben as an example. Kyler Murray can't hold Big Ben's 129 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: jock like they're not. I don't see any parallels between 130 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: the two if you gave me the choice, Like, I 131 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: don't even think Kyler Murray will ever come close to 132 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: being in Big Ben's universe as a player. So this 133 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: notion that, yeah, some guys historically didn't work that hard, 134 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: but some guys are more talented than others. And while 135 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Kyler is very talented, when you factor in his body 136 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: size and his injury history as a young player, like 137 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: he has a lot more concerns than he does like, oh, 138 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: this is gonna be perfect for the next four or 139 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: five years, and then letting him dictate everything you do 140 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: to me is just absolutely crazy. Uh, let's get to 141 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: the Middlecoff mail bag at John middlecoff is the Instagram 142 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: fire in those d ms. I'm a lifelong Broncos fan 143 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: since I was six. My favorite players Champion, and I 144 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: wonder why you think no one talks about him. He 145 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: was physical and it was a willing tackler while locking 146 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: down his side of the field on the best receiver. 147 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: He's always shocked people say Revus was better. I'm always shocked. 148 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: But it looks like I'm in the minority. What do 149 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: you think about Champ? Would you place him over Revus? Uh? I, 150 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that many people talk like I think 151 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: society now like we focus on the present. So how 152 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: often are you arguing like ray Lewis or Brian Lucker, 153 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: like Revus or Champ Bailey? Maybe like First Take does 154 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: that with their audience of three people, But like I 155 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: think we're more focused on like who do you like 156 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: to win the a f C West? Are the Tampa 157 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: Bay Are they gonna win the Super Bowl against Tom Brady? 158 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: Gonna get number eight? Aaron Rodgers? Can you play withou? 159 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: Davante Adams? I think most of our discussions are president 160 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: I know I do I I I actually was bullshitting 161 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: about the bulls versus the Warriors with some buddies yesterday. 162 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: But I don't do those conversations much anymore. I used 163 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: to when I was younger, but I'll be honest, it 164 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: was kind of bore me, just in the simple fact 165 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: that they're kind of that they're impossible to ever get 166 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: a result there. It's never final, it never ends. So 167 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I was just a kid 168 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: in college when Champ was in his prime. I was 169 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: in the league a little bit when Rivas was humming, 170 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: and I think Vas is pretty damn good. They're different. 171 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Champ was probably more versatile. Uh but yeah, 172 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I just who's really having that conversation? And 173 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a dick, but I I 174 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't worry about it. A lot of people made fun 175 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: of Russell for wearing his jersey to the first day 176 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: of practice. Uh, yeah, I don't know. Russell just was 177 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: I'll say about Russell, I saw a couple of highlights. 178 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: When I say I saw a couple of highlights, I 179 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: saw Denver tweet out some highlights from practice, and again, 180 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: so it's they're gonna put out the best stuff. I 181 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: can't imagine being an offensive player on that team and 182 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: going from juw Lock to Russell Wilson that that's like 183 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: hitting the football lottery. I mean, those guys gotta be thinking, 184 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: we are about to make so much money, put up 185 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: so much so many numbers and get paid. Hey John 186 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: Love both the Pots. Lifelong Niner fan here I've been to. 187 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: I have never been to any training camp preseason type stuff. 188 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: Would it be worth checking out as far as seeing 189 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: the team up close, getting an autograph, et cetera. I 190 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: have a more flexible job nowadays and thought something like 191 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: that might be cool to do. Uh. Yeah, if you're 192 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: a season ticket holder and you can get into forty practice, 193 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: just like if you're any fan and you can get 194 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: into practice, I would recommend going if you have some 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: free time, potentially on the weekend. Uh. The one thing 196 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: I would say is I would try to pick a 197 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: padded practice, and there's no guarantee Like in a game, 198 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: when you sit in the stands, you know where the 199 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: game's gonna be. It's right there on the field. Sometimes 200 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: in practice, like they can move far away and you 201 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: can't see as much. It's not guaranteed to be sweet. 202 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: Like as someone that it's like a press pass or whatever, 203 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: I can kind of move, so if they're on one 204 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: side of the field, I can walk over there. As 205 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: the season ticket base, at least speaking for the Niners, 206 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: you are kind of stuck on one side now for 207 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: the most part. You know, Kyle, some coaches like try 208 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: to be kind of screw with people and put you away. 209 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Kyle actively tries to do that at all. 210 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: But you're just not guaranteed anymore anything. Now. I'm probably 211 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: the wrong guy to ask. I'm kind of numbed all this. 212 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: You know. I could have gone to practice all week, 213 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: and I chose not to because they weren't pads. It's 214 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: like that kind of bores me. So if listen, if 215 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: I didn't have access, it would be pretty cool to do. 216 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: It is cool to do. Uh. The Niners obviously have 217 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: a lot of star players. I I would if you 218 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: can get in, I recommend going. Per the report, when 219 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: the stunning announcement was made that Watson was headed to 220 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland and contract details emerged, one team called and asked 221 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: why it wasn't giving an opportunity to match because they 222 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: instead they would have the answer. Whunson wanted to go 223 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: to Cleveland. His only Hurdle has been moving to a 224 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: city where he'd never really been before. Falcons wanted to 225 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: Matt's Brown's offer for your information, I think that's something 226 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: that Watson camp would want out right now, is that 227 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: they had a lot of people willing to pay that. 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm calling bullshit. And listen, I don't trust much of 229 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: the media because they're all they all have agenda, they're 230 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: all in bed with someone. Well, if you're in bed 231 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: with David Mulghetta, the guy that got Deshaun Watson two 232 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars, and they are getting destroyed, they have 233 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: been absolutely ship on. Save with the Browns, you'd want 234 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: to know and same with the Browns. We weren't the 235 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: only people that were willing to pay this. I'm gonna 236 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: call bullshit because I think it was consistently reported that 237 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: every single team was like, yeah, we're out, Yeah, we're out. 238 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: What's the first thing you do when you get a 239 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: big offer, whether it's ten thousand dollars or a hundred 240 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: million dollars, you shop it, see if you can get 241 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: a little more. That's the way business works. So to 242 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: think that he didn't shop it and this guy wanted 243 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: to go to Cleveland again. I'm calling bullshit that, but 244 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: that's how I think. I don't think. When someone in 245 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: the media tells me something, I don't go, Yeah, he's right, 246 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: I go, Uh, what's the angle on this? Been around 247 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: this long enough, know the way the world world works. 248 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: I got a mail bad question for you. I'm a 249 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Slow Native currently a rising senior at Rutgers Business in 250 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: New Jersey. I'm a finance major with plans to take 251 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: the l s AT next month and explore law school opportunities. However, 252 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: as time has gone on, I know I wouldn't be 253 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: happy in either the financial or legal fields, despite my 254 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: proficiencies in both. Smart guy football is my first love 255 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: and nothing means more to me. I want to make 256 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: a career in football. World doesn't matter to me where. 257 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm confident enough that I could excel in any capacity. 258 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: I have what I believe is a decent resume. I 259 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: interview well, but I just don't know where to start. 260 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: My question to you, how does someone like myself get 261 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: their foot in the door. It could be in the media, world, analytics, 262 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: or anything else. I just want to prove I belong 263 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: um to make a living in an industry world where 264 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: I love. I would say I would use LinkedIn and 265 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: LinkedIn to sponsor this podcast. I would use those type 266 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:22,479 Speaker 1: apps to find people in the business presidents, vps, contract negotiators, 267 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: different people in the field of teams, and I would 268 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: contact him that way. If you befriend him and connect, 269 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: then you basically have an instant messager with them. So 270 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: if I connect with the VP of you know of 271 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: business for the l A rams on LinkedIn, I can 272 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: then send him a message. Now, you could do a 273 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: hundred of these and maybe only ten people respond, So 274 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: there's a hustle element to it. But you're young, you 275 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: seem ambitious, and uh, you know, when I was in college, 276 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: the Internet was seven eight years old. Emails were not 277 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: readily available. I had to send hand written letters or 278 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: typed out letters to different teams, and every single one 279 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: of them denied me except the Kansas Chiefs. And my 280 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: senior year in college, I interned for the Fall. I 281 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: did a you know, four month intern with the Chiefs 282 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: in the in the sales department. So it's way easier 283 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: to get in now than it was in my day. 284 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: So and I'm not saying that to act like an 285 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: old guy. I'm just saying you have way more avenues 286 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: to contact people. I gotta. I got an email. I've 287 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: had NFL Game Pass for a long time and it 288 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: costs like a hundred dollars a year and basically gives 289 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: me the ability games I missed to rewatch and you 290 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: can do it in condensed versions. I like watching a 291 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: game if I'm gonna talk about on a podcast, takes 292 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: me thirty minutes to watch. It's incredible because they condensed 293 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: the game. You have to watch any commercials. Well. Rog 294 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: NFL Plus. I wasn't even sure what it was, and 295 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: then I got an email that said you're automatically nude 296 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: NFL Plus and it was cheaper. So in in a 297 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: day and age when inflation is raging, everything is like 298 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: double the ice. I mean they claim inflations ten percent. 299 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: Where I live, it's gotta be like forty so fucking expensive. 300 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean I've been to three cities in the last 301 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: like three or four months, Southern California at the Berry 302 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: and Scottsdale, I mean, Holy Molier things, and Tahoe. It's like, 303 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: I I just I can't even imagine having like a 304 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: young family. The price of things are just outrageous. Roger 305 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: saved me money. Roger saved me money. They say these 306 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: guys are pigs, but I appreciate you, Roger. I love 307 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: the podcast. Keep doing work. Quick question, probably a stupid 308 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: question about fan duel. Do you have to use a 309 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: VPN in order to bet on sports? Because my understanding 310 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: is that most states still don't have sports. But what 311 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: just depends where you live, Uh, you know, more and 312 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: more states. I thought California would never do it because 313 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: the Indian casinos have so much power, even though they 314 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: are kind of in business with the Vegas casinos, like 315 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: the Vegas casinos actually managed their casinos. The Indians just 316 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: profit off it. And I think that they are finally 317 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: like a couple of years ago, is on the ballot 318 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: and they paid so much money and it got pulled 319 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: off before the voting even happen. In that doesn't look 320 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: like the case. There's just too much money in the line. 321 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: So sports gambling, for example, in California is gonna pass. 322 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: But Louisiana's, the Arizona's, the Jerseys, the New York's, you know, 323 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: Florida's rocking and rolling. I would imagine in the next 324 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: eighteen months h the majority of states will have sports gambling, 325 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: so just hanging there if depending on what's I don't 326 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: know the state you're in. My favorite podcap of the 327 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: great work. I've heard you talk about Drubisky not being 328 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: the answer in Pittsburgh, and I get why. But with 329 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: that organization, coach, defense, and skill players, don't you think 330 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: he has a chance to change the narrative as well? Well? 331 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: I think they can compete to make the playoffs because, 332 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: like you said, their team is really good. They have 333 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: a fantastic defense, they have good wide receivers. I think 334 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: Nazi is going to be a star. I just think 335 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: Mitch has a ceiling. He is not an accurate quarterback. 336 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: There are basic touch throws he does does not make, 337 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: and that's to me, the difference of nine wins and 338 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: like wins, and that is definitely the difference of competing 339 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So I don't trust Mr Bisky and 340 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: the slightest good guy tries hard has some fatal flaws 341 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: as a player. Uh Now, they drafted a guy number 342 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: twenty overall to be their starting quarterbacks, so I think 343 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: time will tell if they transition to him mid season. 344 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: They lose a couple of games as talking to Cam Heyward. 345 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: If you listen to a couple of weeks ago, like 346 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: Mitch is gonna be their starting quarterback? Now, I think 347 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: the question is for how long is Mitch? Five games? 348 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: Twenty games, ten games, seven games? I don't know. You know, 349 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: part of drafting up Kenny Pickett, Mac Jones, the guys 350 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: whose ceiling isn't as high, I start them immediately because 351 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: of anything they're quote unquote pro ready. Now Mac is 352 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: a better player than Kenny Pickett. But the point remains, 353 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: when I draft a lower ceiling guy high, I gotta 354 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: am right away because how much better is he actually 355 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna get? And the only way he gets better is 356 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: by playing? Uh? Great work on keeping up the NFL content. 357 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: I live in Athens. You have been making it easier 358 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: to stay on top of what's going on over here. 359 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy? How you know? Just seven eight years ago, 360 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have the access to listen to other radio 361 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: stations throughout America. You know, if I was a Chicago fan, 362 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: I couldn't listen to Chicago radio or Texas radio or whatever. 363 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: And now radio is kind of irrelevant and the ability 364 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: to but if you want to, you can if your favorite. 365 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: You got a favorite radios. But I'm a podcaster. I 366 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: listen to only podcasts. You can listen wherever you are. 367 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: I could go internationally travel. I go to Alaska, I 368 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 1: go to Iceland, I go to China. Now there might 369 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: be some rules in China. I don't know how they 370 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: let me stream, but and do it and the other 371 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: thing with my job. And this is why podcasting, Why 372 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: it's gonna win my expense or zero. I don't have 373 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: to get a studio and I can go wherever. A 374 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, I went to Hawaii for Thanksgiving 375 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: and recorded several podcasts there. Why Because all I gotta 376 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: do is bring my computer in my microphone. Like that's 377 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: just it's an unbeatable It's just so easy, and I 378 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: feel very lucky, like a lot of people in a 379 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: lot of different industries timing. If you know this was 380 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 1: two thousand six, I would not be able to do this. 381 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: I would have to go probably work for some radio 382 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: station corporate and hate it. Uh, just want to get 383 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: your thoughts. I'm not a Panther's fans by any means, 384 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: but just thinking, what are the chances that Corral either 385 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 1: starts a number of games or is the starter by 386 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: the end of the season. Sure, he's got his own flaws, 387 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: but Baker and Donald also have theirs with career under performances, injuries, 388 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: et cetera. Matt Rule needs to win games asap for 389 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: the sake of his NFL career if he doesn't prefer college. Uh. 390 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: I think it will be very, very difficult from Matt 391 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: Corral to start games this year. It would take major 392 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: injuries to both guys. I think I don't have like 393 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: a horse in the race. I don't not that I 394 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: follow the team that closely. I know a lot of 395 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: like national pundits, I think that Baker Mayfield is gonna 396 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback. I don't know. I think you 397 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: just any time that you're facing an uphill battle. They 398 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: didn't give up anything to get him. They're not paying 399 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: him anything. Be one thing, if they traded a second 400 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: round pick and they're paying him twenty million dollars, that's 401 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: not the case. They're paying Sam Donald way more money. Now, 402 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: just because you're paying a guy more money doesn't mean 403 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the starting quarterback. But I don't think 404 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: by any means, Baker Mayfield is a lot to start. Now. 405 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: If I had to put a pie chart, i'd put 406 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'd give Baker Mayfield probably forty. I'd give 407 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: Sam Donald thirty five, so boom, we're already at seventy five. 408 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: And i'd give Corral now I'd probably even be less. 409 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: I'd give Baker Mayfield forty five. I'd give Sam Donald, 410 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: and i'd give Matt Correll ten. But who knows, you know, 411 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: I I think it's gonna be very, very difficult from 412 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: mac correl to beat out either one of those guys. 413 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 1: Mail bad question. What do you think about making a 414 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: team completely going against current norms of a passing league, 415 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: completely spending on an O line and running back, getting 416 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: a blocking wide receiver two maybe to kill Harry, and 417 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: completely getting away from quarterbacks. It would probably give you 418 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: more cash for the defense, and with smaller defenses, it 419 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: might be hard for any team to stop it. Let 420 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: me know your thoughts. I hear what you're saying. Here's 421 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: the main problem in a football game. And even if 422 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: your team is really good, you're the number one defense 423 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a seventeen game season. I would 424 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: say five to six spots where you're losing in the 425 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: second half and it's second and third and long. And 426 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: it's why when Army and Navy, let's just use them 427 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: as an example. I know that's not exactly what you're 428 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: talking about, but they are run heavy offense. And when 429 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: you watch them play when they're not playing each other 430 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: and they're playing Notre Dame or b why you would 431 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: ever and they're down a couple of touchdowns in the 432 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they're kind of screwed. Why they can't throw 433 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: the ball. So if I get if I stuffed the 434 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: run on first and ten and you're down thirteen points 435 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: and there are seven minutes left and it's second and ten, 436 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Run it again? Now you 437 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: gotta try to throw. Well, what happens if you do 438 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,239 Speaker 1: run it again and now it's third and eleven. You 439 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: have to throw the ball. And to me, that is 440 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: where and that's always been the case. Even in the 441 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: eighties and nineties when running the ball was very important, 442 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: the teams with the best quarterbacks still were the most competitive. 443 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: So I think having a big time quarterback big time 444 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: would be strong, but having a very like you still 445 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: need Kirk Cousins, even if you still need Jimmy Garoppolo, like, ultimately, 446 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: the Niners had some success over the years, and Jimmy's 447 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: a pretty flawed player because he can hit some slant routes, 448 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, and he was he wasn't making three million dollars, 449 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: he was making twenty six. He wasn't making forty five, 450 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: but he was making a lot. So I think it's 451 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: very very It's it's unavoidable. You have to allocate resources 452 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: for that spot. It's just part of the deal. There's 453 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: no way around it. Because the way the game plays out, 454 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: you have to hit passes on biggs, you know, on 455 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: must have downs, on must have passing downs. That it's 456 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: it's inevitable that you find yourself in those situations. At 457 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: John Middlecoffe is the Instagram firing those d ms. I'm 458 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: gonna need you.
