We'll kind 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: of fly around the league and also hit on something 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 2: it really bothered me. I'm not gonna lie that I 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: saw on social media. They just dug deep into my 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: soul that I wanted to comment on.

Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. I think 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: we have to acknowledge something that there are a lot 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 2: of parallels with Jerry and the Cowboys, going into as 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: he's been in his eighties to the final stretch of 59 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Al Davis and the Raiders. It becomes a little chaotic 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: because of the owner, and obviously there are financial differences 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: the Cowboys if they became up for sale. We just 62 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: saw the Lakers be valued at ten billion dollars. I 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: think it's fair to say that the Cowboys would go 64 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: for double that, and their financial revenue ability is second 65 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: to none, and their brand is worldwide. They're definitely the biggest, 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: which is crazy because they haven't won a super bowling 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: along since the mid nineties. They are a cash cow 68 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: and Jerry's a huge part of that. And let me 69 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: say this, I admire Jerry the businessman because I think 70 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: people that I've always looked up to in any walk 71 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: of life, especially you know, when it comes to business 72 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: or sports or just professional endeavors, typically have some kahonas 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: have a little shit to him and have had points 74 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: and time in their life when they've had to make 75 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: a big decision and they've put their nuts on the table, 76 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: and Jerry obviously did that in the late eighties. His 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: stories well documented of self made guy who bought the 78 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: Cowboys when he didn't even really have the money. So 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: I respect that. But I'm also old enough to bet 80 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: around the block a few times and know a few 81 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: people that work in family businesses, clearly not as big 82 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: as the Cowboys, but successful operations. And anytime the quote 83 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: unquote patriarch, the old man, whether it's the dad the grandpa, 84 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: makes a lot of money and doesn't need anybody anymore, 85 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: yet is still involved in the operation. The older he gets, 86 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: sometimes the more difficult he becomes. He's not going to 87 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: listen to anybody. And I think when you look at 88 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: the current climate of sports, there's a consistent theme when 89 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: it comes to these negotiations. One the money being given 90 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: out in the team sports in America, Baseball, basketball, and 91 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: obviously football has never been greater. Pro sports and pro 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: athletes in my life have always made a lot of money. 93 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: The amount they are making now is I try not 94 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: to become numb to talking about it because of how 95 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: big the sums are. But the more and more you 96 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: see these numbers get thrown around just kind of becomes normal. 97 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: Even though when you are paying people hundreds of millions 98 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: of dollars, it's the equivalent of some of these people 99 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: that sell their tech companies. I mean, it's crazy how 100 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: much these guys are accumulating right now in professional sports. 101 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: And Jerry, you know, when I grew up anyone my 102 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: age in the nineties, pro sports was a lot more raw. 103 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: You would have a lot of public fights between coaches 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: and players, gms and players and owners in players. Social 105 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: media didn't exist, so when you would have track talks 106 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: or trade talks. It was just kind of no holds bar. 107 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: There was not a filter typically on either side. And 108 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: now we have kind of become a corporate version of that. 109 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: There is just too much on the line, right. There 110 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: was a lot of money on the line back then, 111 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: but the numbers have exponentially grown. So most negotiations in 112 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: most sports, especially football, when you hear the GM, the 113 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: coach and the owner talk, they typically don't say anything. 114 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: They give you the kind of go to, kind of 115 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: corporate jargon of we're gonna keep this in house. This 116 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: is between us and his representation. This is we do 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 2: not make our negotiations public. I'll give the Browns credit 118 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: when Jimmy has or when Miles Garrett went to the 119 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: Super Bowl and said I want to trade. I want 120 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: fucking out of here. It's like Stude's going on the 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl car wash and telling us how he feels. 122 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: I was like, if I was the Browns, I trade 123 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: him right now for like two ones and two twos. 124 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: It's you got an excuse to get rid of them. 125 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: Your team's gonna suck anyway, you might as well utilize 126 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: this powerful asset. But Jimmy Haslam said no because Miles 127 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: Garrett and Clutch, who represents him, said we want a meeting, 128 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: and Jimmy Haslam said, not so fast, my friend, No meeting. 129 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: Discuss the business with Andrew Berry, and Andrew Berry said, 130 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: we're not trading you. We want to keep you. We 131 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: plan on paying you. That was kind of it. We 132 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: just saw TJ. Watt get a huge contract. It wasn't 133 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: a public negotiation. Most of these come Fred Warrener, George Kittle, 134 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: not a public negotiation. Yeah, with Jerry Jones, give a 135 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: listen because today he gave as he does every single year, 136 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: kind of the state of the franchise, which most gms 137 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: and coaches do at the start of training camp this week, 138 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure there'll be one with less Need and McVay. 139 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: I'm sure there was one with Jim harbaughd and Joe Ortiz, 140 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: just like in the next couple of days, Howie Roseman 141 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: and Nick Sirianni, Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. Very normal, 142 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: that's normal business. You know you don't see at any 143 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: of these places is the owner standing right there. Let's 144 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: take a listen to Jerry. 145 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: Today, just because we signed him doesn't mean we're going 146 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: to have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously, 147 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: we've signed I remember signing a player for the highest 148 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: paid at the position in the league and he got 149 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: knocked out two thirds of the year Dark Prescott. So 150 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things you can think about when 151 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: you just as the player does, when you're thinking about 152 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: committing and guaranteeing money. 153 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: I think one thing we all learn, for any of you, 154 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: obviously if you're married in a serious relationship, something you 155 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: learn as you get a little older as a guy 156 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: is like you don't need to say everything that comes 157 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: into your head, right, And I think this works for 158 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 2: your personal relationships, your professional relationships. Hell, I've really taken 159 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: this tactic on social media. I'm like, I got a 160 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: lot of thoughts. I used to share way too many 161 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: of them just because like, what's the point. Just keep 162 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: some stuff to yourself, right, And it's so different in 163 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: negotiations with the Rooneyes and TJ. Watt, Like sometimes it's 164 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: gonna get ugly behind the scenes. You know what no 165 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: one gets to know about that it's not all you know, rainbows, 166 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: unicorns and party. Right. Sometimes I'm sure there are things 167 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: said that like, god damn, this is called negotiation. They 168 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: don't do it in public because, you know why, there's 169 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: nothing to be gained. And in the eighties and the nineties, 170 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: when Jerry became a household name, that's how you did business, 171 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: and it was suitable. It was actually very normal. It 172 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: was not you weren't going against the grain if you 173 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: told the media, which obviously got back to the player, 174 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: how you felt and how things were going. That doesn't 175 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: take place anymore one these negotiations. There's so much money 176 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 2: in the line, who does it behoove to create a 177 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 2: more chaotic situation. Two, with social media, everything gets magnified 178 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: to the one hundredth degree. Now it just makes it 179 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: a more chaotic situation for your player. And listen, as 180 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: you get older, you can handle things said to you 181 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: that you couldn't before. But in pro sports, especially football, 182 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: when you are giving a player, as the Cowboys are 183 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: going to do with Micah Parsons, because the moment you 184 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: don't trade them before the draft, you are going to 185 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: pay him. And Jerry did this with Ceedee Lamb. He's 186 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: gonna do it again with Michael Parsons. You're gonna pay 187 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: him the most money in the history of the NFL 188 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: for a pass rusher that's going to happen. It's inevitable. Now, 189 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: you can argue over a couple million here and there, 190 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: but we know the number. So Jerry putting this out there. 191 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: You're dealing with a guy just like any team would 192 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: be the first extension you give a player somewhere between 193 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: the ages of twenty four and twenty so, unlike if 194 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 2: you're doing negotiations with some sixty five year old who's 195 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: been through the ringer for decades in business. He can 196 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: handle a lie. He's got thick skin. Just the reason 197 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: a lot of these guys have representation because going to 198 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: Drew Rosenhaus, going to Tom Condon, going to whoever, they've 199 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: seen it all. They've heard it all. They're not Jimmy 200 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 2: Haslam or excuse me, Jimmy Sexton doesn't get offended at 201 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: every time that you come back to a counter in negotiations. 202 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: You know why he's been negotiating these contracts for decades. 203 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: He's seen it all. Michael Parsons, this is the first 204 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: big contract of his life. This is more money than 205 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: he probably ever could have dreamed of a decade ago. 206 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: And you got the owner coming out and making comments 207 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: which are factual. He missed games, factual Dak Prescott shattered 208 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: his ankle. We all know that. But what good does 209 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: that do? And while it's a different situation than Al 210 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: Davis in the late two thousands, the parallels to me 211 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 2: feel like the owner aging not gracefully, doesn't know how 212 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: to pivot as times have pivoted. Unlike the Raiders, the 213 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 2: Cowboys don't have financial issues, but they do have an 214 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: ownership issue. They do have a guy that you could 215 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: see the look on Brian Schottenheimer's face if he saw 216 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: the video. Stephen, I would imagine, is not going to 217 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: do this whenever Jerry is no longer around, because it 218 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: makes it more difficult. You don't need to create animosity 219 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: in these negotiations. Here's the other thing Jerry has said 220 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: before this, we would rather pay a little more and 221 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: get it right. I would agree with that statement if 222 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: you're talking about free agents, because typically you've got to 223 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: pay more in free agency. You pay a you know, 224 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: a thirty forty fifty sticker price to get the guy services, 225 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: and for the most part you're not dealing with the 226 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: elite players. That's why they hit free agency but Jerry 227 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: says that, and most of the time he's giving out 228 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: these huge contracts to guys he's drafted. So when you 229 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: sign a guy you've drafted, no one knows that player 230 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: better than yourself. I remember, like, in the scouting process, 231 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: you get to know a guy, You get to know 232 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: the coaches, you get to know the assistance. And I 233 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: saw it when I was a GA and I watched 234 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: our guys get scouted, and you do all this work 235 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 2: on obviously the player, but the character, the love of football, 236 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: their work ethic, their toughness, their mental toughness, just how 237 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: good a guy they are to just how they treat people. 238 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: All that shit right, and you feel really good about 239 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: it and maybe pound the table in the draft room, 240 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: But until you get the guy in the building, you 241 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: don't realize how important he is to you as a player, 242 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: right the Chiefs did. We'll get into George Carloftis and 243 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: Trent McDuffie, and you know the guys they drafted who 244 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: are everything that they want in a guy. The Ravens 245 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: have been doing this forever. The Steelers are good at this, 246 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: to get your type players and just tough, old school 247 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: football guys. But Jerry, you drafted these guys like you've 248 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: been around them all the time, You've seen him as 249 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: a player through the good and the bad, Like, so 250 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: what are you waiting for? So I just assume that 251 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: the Cowboys are gonna pay mic historic amount of money 252 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: in about four or five weeks because that's what they've 253 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: consistently done with Dak So they did a couple of 254 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: years ago or last year with CD, and that's what 255 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: they'll do with Michah Parsons. But you just kind of 256 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: create this weirdness in your organization that you just gave 257 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: a first time head coach a job that let's face it, 258 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: I don't just like shitting on this guy because I 259 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: feel like that's the easy thing to do, but no 260 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: one else is giving him a head coaching job. Brian 261 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: Schottenheiber was not going to be a head coach for 262 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: anyone else, even though a decade plus ago he was 263 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: a coaching candidate, turned some jobs down, career went the 264 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: other way and it looked like it was never going 265 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: to become a head coach. But in twenty twenty five, 266 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones was the only guy giving him a job. 267 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: And let's face it, like the players aren't idiots. He's 268 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: probably one of the lowest paid coaches in the league. 269 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: So Jerry a lot like Al Davis is. This guy 270 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 2: doesn't have me juice. Why'd I fucking listen to this guy? 271 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: If I'm good enough, I'll just do whatever I want. 272 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: Jerry's mad at me, but I was like, I'll just 273 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: go to him. And if you look around the league, 274 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: and this is what I said about, once training camp starts, 275 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: the GM and head coach will give a press conference, 276 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: and for the most part, maybe a GMS will do 277 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: like Coward Show or come on a podcast or whatever, 278 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: but they don't talk all the time. Right, the coach 279 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: is the voice of the organization because he's the boss. 280 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: And when the players think that, like, hey, if I 281 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: screw up, Kyle Shanahan's gonna bench me if I don't 282 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: run this route, right like Sean McVay is gonna cut 283 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: me and put me back on the practice squad. For 284 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: two plus decades, you knew Bill Belichick was in charge. 285 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: He didn't sign the checks, he didn't own the team, 286 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: but Bill was in charge. You screw up in Kansas 287 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: City like you answer to Andy, and that's the healthy 288 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: way to run an organization. Yet with the Cowboys, I 289 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: would say the Bengals on the same way, like you know, 290 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: the owners in charge. Even Shamar Stewart's agent said today 291 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: because Duke Tobin's like we need him here, said that, 292 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: like he shouldn't be talking. He's not running point on 293 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: this negotiation. It's above his pay grade, which is an 294 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: all timeline from an agent. But he's saying it because 295 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: that guy's not running point in the organization. He's not 296 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: in charge the owners of the GM And when you 297 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: run organizations like that, and let's face it, we like 298 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow a lot more than we like Dak Prescott, 299 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: it's hard to win. It's why most people, despite having 300 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase T. Higgins, you just bet against 301 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: the Bengals. It's why the Cowboys, it's like I actually 302 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: think they probably could be a little better than people think. 303 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: I think most people think they're just gonna suck. Wouldn't 304 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: shock me if they're just competitive, probably not a playoff team, 305 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 2: but like I could see them in mix to be 306 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: like eight nine wins. But I just could see them 307 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,239 Speaker 2: in quode right and just quit on. Brian Shotdneimer and 308 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 2: that's just kind of what happens is your organization becomes 309 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 2: like this owner centric guy. This is not like George 310 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: Steinbrenner nineteen ninety six. Those days are over. Most of 311 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: these owners don't say shit. They just look at the 312 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 2: Excel spreadsheet and the money flowing in and they let 313 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: their GM and their head coach handle everything. Obviously they 314 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 2: get involved at the highest level, but they never talk. 315 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: They only talk. Win kind of forced a couple owners 316 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 2: meetings and that might be it, and maybe if they 317 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 2: fire a coach, but if things are going well, like 318 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: they're not gonna speak yet, Jerry can't help himself, like 319 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 2: he has to be the star of the franchise. And 320 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of sad because I grew up the 321 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: Cowboys were a really big deal. 322 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: They were the. 323 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: Biggest deal in the NFL, right there with the forty 324 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 2: nine ers, the rivalry, and then to the late nineties, 325 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: what happened to him. Jerry's ego got in the way, 326 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: and you could argue his ego has been in charge 327 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: ever since. And beside like the ability to get parcels 328 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: and get that stadium built, which is cool, I've been there. 329 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's crazy. It's probably almost not far 330 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: away from being like twenty years old, but awesome accomplishment. 331 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 2: What are his highlights last twenty five years? Seriously? And 332 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 2: he really only has himself to blame.

We kind of hit on the Bengals there, 377 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: but it's just it's really hard to overcome. I think 378 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: it's really hard to overcome chaos. You know. It's why 379 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 2: so many people that grow up in chaos. We all 380 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: have known them, maybe you did. You know, any situation 381 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: when you're young that impacts you the rest of your 382 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: life and as you get older, chaotic situations can really 383 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: derail you. And it's why the Bengals they have multiple 384 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: guys holding out a rookie, their star pass rusher. It's 385 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: kind of been a consistent theme in this organization. Despite 386 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: like they've drafted pretty well over the years, They've had 387 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: some pretty good teams on paper, but it's like kind 388 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 2: of always the same thing, you know, And I just 389 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: like I was just bet against the Bengals. No matter 390 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 2: you can tell me Joe Burrow throws fifty touchdowns, I'd 391 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: be like, yeah, it's still gonna be tough for them 392 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: to overcome the Mike Brown operation because that's not changing. 393 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: And I don't like tried to really read up onto 394 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 2: the situation with the rookie in the language. You know, 395 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: Florio's got an agenda. He's obviously on the agent side. 396 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: Mike Brown claims that like this is only this clause. 397 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: It's just about like go to jail or something. You know. 398 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know, it just shouldn't be this complicated, 399 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: That's what I know. It just should not be this complicated. 400 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: And it's always kind of sometimes that complicated with Mike Brown. 401 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: You know, think about a place that the Kanasae Chiefs 402 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 2: and they just are of a lot of credit that 403 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: several years ago. Let's face it, I mean, it's it's 404 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: aged incredibly well. At the time, even I thought, like 405 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: coach reid Man, feature are you sure you want to 406 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: trade Tyreek Hill. He's one of the great players we've 407 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: ever seen in the peak of his powers, and you 408 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: guys are gonna punt on him, like, yeah, we're just 409 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 2: we're just not comfortable, probably some things that we know 410 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 2: that you don't know, and we're just not paying them 411 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: thirty million dollars a year. So they punted and they 412 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 2: traded him before the draft. So they had two first 413 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: round picks and they got Trent McDuffie and George Karlofski's 414 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: Carloff diss. They just gave George a four year, ninety 415 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: three million dollar extension I think like sixty million dollars guaranteed, 416 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: And just knowing guys there, they love these two guys. 417 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 2: They love these two guys, and that draft, specifically those 418 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: two individuals has been a big reason. With Chris Jones 419 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: and Spags, they were a defensive team in the last 420 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 2: two years despite having winning the one of the great 421 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 2: offensive coaches and quarterbacks in the history of the sport. 422 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 2: And it's not just these guys are good players. McDuffie's 423 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: a really good starter, Carloffs is a really good starter. 424 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if either of them are like Hall 425 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: of Fame, all time great players, but they're type. They're 426 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: championship level players, and they're winning players, and they're everything 427 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: you want off the field. From away, they operate from away, 428 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: they work from away. They play and or prepare to play. 429 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 2: And I think the Chiefs are a good example of 430 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: even when weird shit happens, they just feel we got 431 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: it handled, Like the Rashi Riice situation, he's gonna get suspended, Like, well, 432 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 2: we got it handled. When these situations happen with some 433 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 2: of these other teams, like, I don't know, man, So 434 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: you know the Chiefs, They've spent some money this offseason, 435 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 2: Trey Smith, Carl loftis and they're just paying money to 436 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: their type guys, right. And to be a good football 437 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 2: player in the NFL, I don't think much has changed 438 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 2: from previous generations. Obviously, you've got to be good and 439 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 2: have the physical capabilities, but your practice habits, how mentally 440 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: and physically tough you are, how serious you take football, 441 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: how much you want it. All the intangible stuff matters 442 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: now as much as it ever did. Philip Rivers. If 443 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: you told me when did Philip Rivers retire, it'd be 444 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: like five years ago announce his retirement. Today, I saw 445 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: a headline Philip Rivers announces his retirement. Hasn't Phil Rivers 446 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 2: been coaching the high school team for like three or 447 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 2: four years. Isn't his son like one of the big 448 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 2: recruits in the country. Kind of plays and throws just 449 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: like him. I think he's gonna end up at NC State, 450 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: but I don't know. Maybe he's fifteen sixteen years old. Obviously, 451 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: Rivers has like seventy five kids. But I just laughed 452 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: out loud when I saw Philip Rivers announce his retirement. 453 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: I always enjoyed Philip. I said this forever. I saw 454 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: within the last couple of weeks that Drew Brees is 455 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 2: gonna call one of the Netflix games on Christmas and listen. 456 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: I have a lot of respect for Drew. Obviously, it's 457 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: one of the all time great players of his generation. 458 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. I think he'd be an excellent like 459 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 2: GM or offensive coordinator, head coach. He's terrible on TV. 460 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: I mean, he's just not we're in the entertainment business. 461 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: He's not entertaining. I think Philip would have been awesome 462 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: on TV. I mean, Taylor made for definitely for the networks, 463 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: doesn't swear animated, excited. I think there's like a John 464 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 2: Madden kind of jovial, but the player version, I think 465 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: he would have been a star. Now I don't know 466 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: if he's ever gonna do it, but if I ran 467 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 2: a network, I know these networks are just they have 468 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: a hard on for like getting the most famous guy possible. 469 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 2: We've seen time and time again that is not and 470 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: obviously Phillip's not as famous as some of these other 471 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: guys that get these gigs, or he's not a former 472 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: cowboy quarterback. I would just keep hitting him up because 473 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: if he ever just retires from high school coaching and 474 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 2: get him in the booth, I think he would be 475 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: a star. Will Levis gotta be one of my all time. 476 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: It could have been heat of the moment, but I 477 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: remember watching a couple of times his junior year, so 478 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: the year before he declared, I definitely put this out 479 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: on the old Twitter. Then I thought he could be 480 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 2: the number one pick in the draft. Now I gotta listen. 481 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: I got a little thing for strong arm quarterbacks, and 482 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 2: Liam Cohen was his offensive coordinator. Kentucky was really good. 483 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 2: Liam Leaves Scangarello comes in his senior year. Will Levis 484 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 2: is just not really good. Has some games that you're 485 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: just shaking your head. Obviously, falls out of the first round, 486 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 2: goes to the Titans, gets shoulder surgery today, he's out 487 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 2: for the season. Unofficially, it ends his Titan career. He's 488 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 2: not gonna be the Titans ever again. After this, it 489 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: crossed my mind today. Now there are some years where 490 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 2: a team has like seven injuries at quarterback, you never 491 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 2: say never. I do think going into a season you 492 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: can just probably cross Will Levis never again be in 493 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 2: a too deep because you wouldn't want him as a 494 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: backup quarterback, right He's just too terrible, kind of a 495 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: screw around guy, and honestly, your backup quarterback you would 496 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: just want, if anything, to be really really limited. And 497 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: understand that. The problem with Will Levis is he thinks 498 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 2: he's like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, and he clearly 499 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 2: is not. And he's just not instinctive. He's just not good. 500 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 2: I mean, there's just no way around it. Now he 501 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: has this major injury shoulder. But you know the Titans 502 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: cam Ward and cyon Ard to Will Levis. I want 503 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: to end on this because I think a lot of 504 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: you either have this happen to you or know people 505 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 2: that it has impacted. I started losing my hair in 506 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 2: my early twenties. My dad was bald, My uncles are bald, 507 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 2: my cousins are bald, My brother is bald. Keep my 508 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: fingers crossed than my son because it's my mother's or 509 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: his mother's jeans will not be bald. But the genetics 510 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: in my family when it comes to hair, let's say, 511 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 2: we're not exactly uh you know, Brad pitten River runs 512 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: through it. But here's the thing, we've come a long way. 513 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: Like when I was a kid, my dad, who was bald, 514 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 2: used to have like the the way worse version of 515 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: Trump's hair, right, he grew out the sides and he 516 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 2: had the comb over. I could never do that. Luckily. 517 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,239 Speaker 2: The stigma of being bald, whether it's uh, you know, 518 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: finding someone to date you definitely, Hollywood, these guys are 519 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 2: wearing wigs. You could not be bald and be quote 520 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: unquote famous back in the day. Now, you know, from 521 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: Joe Rogan to Jason Statham to Bruce Willis, uh to obviously, 522 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: like we've had a fucking renaissance being bald. We're all 523 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: cool with it. No one cares. You can shape bit 524 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: your head that didn't exist like twenty five years ago. 525 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: The rock. I mean, we've had we've had a great run. 526 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: The stigma of being bald no longer exists. And I 527 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: didn't have a receding hairline right, which is a slow burn. 528 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: I had the hair falling off all over the top 529 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: of my head and a huge bald spot in the 530 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 2: back that was working its way forward. A lot of 531 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: you guys are receding, and you kind of hold on 532 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: for dear life. It's like a boat taken on water. 533 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: You know, you try to, you try to patch it up, 534 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: but then another hole pops and you just you can't 535 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: keep the boat above the water. So listen, I can. 536 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: I understand where you're coming from. And I think most 537 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: of us, especially if you're young, if you don't have 538 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: a significant other, you just like, can I am I 539 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: going to find a girl if I don't have any hair? 540 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: In mind, that's that's your biggest insecurity as a guy. 541 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: And then you realize, no chicks. I remember the first 542 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: time I ever shaped my head started dating and chicks 543 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: loved it, and I was like, who even cares? And 544 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: you realize you don't even look back, and then you 545 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: see all these other bald guys and you're like, God, 546 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: We're just a community that's thriving. Scotty Scheffler, who is 547 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: clearly has a receiving hairline, is crushing it. He's made 548 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: eighty five million dollars on the golf course like the 549 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 2: last three years. He is charting a path that I 550 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 2: don't want to say Tiger, but is passing a lot 551 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: of the all time greats. And if he can stay 552 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: healthy for a couple more years, he's clearly gonna go 553 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: down as one of the great players of all time. 554 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 2: He wins his fourth major, the oldest major, a place 555 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: where golf was invented, Scotland, Ireland, the Open. Taylor made 556 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 2: his probably is him and Nike, and Taylor made his 557 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: biggest sponsor put out these social media eclips. Was Scotty 558 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 2: celebrating on the eighteenth victory with his hat off and 559 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: you can see his receiving hairline, except Taylor made they 560 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: messed with the picture. They photo shopped his hair, They 561 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: refused to let him be bald, and I'm not gonna lie. 562 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: I was hurt by it. I played Tailor made clubs. 563 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 2: I love my irons. That the best set of irons 564 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: I've ever owned. But for them to do that, someone 565 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 2: in Taylor Made's digital department looked at Scotty and said, 566 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: we're not gonna allow a bald guy in this moment, 567 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: despite him balding sad because I thought we didn't just 568 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: have a renaissance. I thought the stigma of being bald 569 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: was basically over that. It's okay, and listen part of 570 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 2: he's married, he's got a kid, he's rich. He can 571 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: be bald, he can have hair, none of it matters. 572 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: So the greatest golfer of all time, Tiger Woods. I 573 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen him with his hat off, 574 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 2: especially through his late thirties early, you know, throughout his forties, 575 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: bald is a bat. I mean, Tiger has about as 576 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 2: many hairs as I do. Sad day, though Taylor Made, 577 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: I expected more as someone who's you don't sponsor me. 578 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: I've paid for your product. I appreciate your product. I 579 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: play your balls too.
