1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on my people, and by

2
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: my people, I mean those that just consume the living.

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: You know what out of Chargers Chiefs, what a game

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,199

5
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: watched football. Obviously, dive into that right off the top.

Speaker 1: You guys know the Drill, and I'll answer those at

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the end of the show. But let's start with what

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: we just witnessed and I I've always said, and there

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: is no shame in my game. I watch professional sports

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: for greatness. I I am not looking to watch overachievers.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to watch Johnny try Hard's I'm looking

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: to watch Marino, Elway, far Mahomes, Herbert Tiger Woods, Steph Curry,

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Roger Clemens, Greg Maddox, you know, Derek Jeter, you name it.

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: I want to watch the best guys play in the

27
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: biggest stages, in the biggest games. I always say when

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: I worked in the NFL, the thing that they're like,

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: what's it like watching all these players? Well, actually, I

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: spend most of my time evaluating middle to you know,

31
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: borderline in fel guys. You don't, You're not watching Davante

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Adams and Aaron Rodgers every day. My mom can tell

33
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: you they're sweet. What I do now, that's all the

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: time I spent watching the sweet guys. I spend all

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: my time talking about the sweet guys. And I'll never forget.

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: In the thirty for thirty documentary on Christian Lightner, uh

37
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not. It's not like I'm some Diard Christian

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: Latner fan. But I've always been a big coach k

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: guy and Coach K said something in that documentary that's

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: stuck with me. I think there were a couple of

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: free throws in a Final Four game, and Christian Lightner

42
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: he might have missed one, actually, and Coach K had

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: said that whether he makes, he's either gonna make or

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: miss the free throw, but he'll never choke. And I

45
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: think that represents a lot of great players. Right Kobe

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: Bryant might miss an open shot, but it wasn't because

47
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: he was scared of the moment. Tiger Woods might miss

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: a putt, but it wasn't because he was shaking. He

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: just missed the putt. And I've said for a long

50
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: time now the trio of Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Hill, and

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Like, to me, the greatest trio that at

52
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: least has talked about is the Cowboys trio. Right Emmett

53
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: Aikman and Um and Michael Vin. You know, these guys

54
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: don't have three Super Bowls yet, but I'm watching him.

55
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I think they're better. You know, I think Patrick Mahomes

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: better and Troy Aman. Troy Agan's in the Hall of Fame.

57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: You know, Michael Orvin's an all time great wide receiver.

58
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I probably take Tyreek Hill

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: and obviously Emmett and Travis Kelsey don't play the same position,

60
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: but like that's as good as it gets. You know,

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: they may lose the game, and they easily could have

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: lost tonight, but like you can see how clutch these

63
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: three guys are. Mahomes didn't have his a game. Mahomes

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: if he was a golfer shooting like seventy four tonight,

65
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: but he still finds a way to throw for four

66
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards and make huge plays when he has to.

67
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: But really, this game was made by Tyree Hill and

68
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, and they remind me a lot of the

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Warriors guys Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Clay Thompson. Like I've

70
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: seen them lose some big games, but I never ever

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: once viewed them as chokers or losers because they're winners

72
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: deep down, their champions and they know how to win.

73
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: It's why more often than not they're gonna come out

74
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: on the right side of the ledger of the score.

75
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: And you saw tonight Tyree Hill clearly is cramping up.

76
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: He's like a Ferrari right his his skill. You know,

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is an elite player. I mean, he's a

78
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: pro Bowl. He's gonna go down as one of the

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: best wide receivers of his era. He has trouble catching

80
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's ball, and I understand why I grew up

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: on Brett Forve. It was hard to get Prett Farve's ball.

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: He throws like a hundred five mile our fastball. Tyreek

83
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: Hill Patrick Hoomes doing the same thing. The second last

84
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: touchdown in the game was Tyreek Hill catching the ball

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: off his helmet. The skill that little guy has is

86
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: just stupid. But Travis Kelsey and and growing up, I

87
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: used to go to Cal Berkeley games when Tony Gonzozz

88
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: is on. I love Tony Gonzoz. Travis Kelsey is like

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Tony Zaws on steroids. He's not that fast anymore. He's older.

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: That play really a couple of plays he made tonight.

91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: The angles he takes working his way around defenders, it's

92
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: like he's out running them. He's just cutting. He's going

93
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: to places they can't get to. His skill. His just

94
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: I mean's just watching an all time great player. And

95
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: as a fan of football, as someone deep down who

96
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: tries to like still keep a love of what I

97
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: do and sometimes you can become numbnew it when you

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: talk about it for a living. That was fucking cool.

99
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: That was really just cool watching legends be legends. Do

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: you know? I just I was like, I knew they

101
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: had big games. But then I bring up the box

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: score and I see Travis Kelsey had ten for one

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: ninety one and two touchdowns. Tyreek Hill had twelve for

104
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: one fifty and a touchdown. They got twenty two catches

105
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: and two hundred. I gotta do my math right, two

106
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: hundred and three hundred. What's two hundred and three yards

107
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: or three yards? Twenty two catches? That's sorry, met at math.

108
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Three forty yards and three touchdowns out of two Hall

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: of Fame players. That's why the Chiefs are probably looking

110
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: like they're going back to their third strade Super Bowl,

111
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: because I'll probably you this. If they're gonna play defense

112
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: like that, Mac Jones ain't beating them. I like Mac Jones.

113
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: I respect Mac Jones. People think I don't listen. He's

114
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: a rookie, awesome player. They won a game with him

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: throwing three passes. If they play the Chiefs in a

116
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: playoff game, you bet your ass. I'll bet the house

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs, and if Mac Jones somehow beat them,

118
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: which I can't see, I'll tip my hat. Hell Tom

119
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: Brady three years ago when they ended up playing the

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Rams in the Super Bowl barely beat him. You're telling

121
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: me Mac Jones is gonna outdu this guy. And listen,

122
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes looked off. He did somehow he threw for

123
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: four hund in ten yards in a three touchdowns. That's

124
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes now on the flip side. Listen, the Chargers

125
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: have something. They're eight and six. But I didn't grow

126
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: I was born in eighty four, so obviously Elway and

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: Marino their primes were the mid to late eighties. I

128
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: didn't witness it. Now, I've interviewed Marino at the Super

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Bowl like five six years ago, and I watch some YouTube.

130
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: But let's face it, when you watch, when you don't

131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: watch something live, it's hard to truly grasp it when

132
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: you watch a player live. And anyone listening to this,

133
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of a team, and if you're

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: my age year older, you've been watching sports for a

135
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: long time, you feel very good about arguing how good

136
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant was right, how good Tom Brady was, how

137
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: good Peyton Manning was, how good Adrian Peterson was, how

138
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: good Reggie Bush was in college. Whatever. When you've seen

139
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: it live, you have context, you know what it looks like,

140
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: and then you're able to put it against other things

141
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: you've seen throughout your life. So I can go back

142
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: and I can watch the clips of Marino and Elway

143
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: and they look awesome. But I've been, you know, talked

144
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: to enough guys that have played against them, played with them,

145
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: and you've heard the stories that, like I'm telling you,

146
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: their talent was stupid. Now, I did see far Ven

147
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 1: his prime and it was clear unlike anything we've ever seen.

148
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: And Marty morning Wig told me when when one day

149
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: I asked him in the office, we were just bullsh it.

150
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: He used to give me like, hey, could you go

151
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: pick me up some chew and he'd want like a

152
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: log and they were like forty bucks and hand me

153
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: a hunter and then let me keep the change. It

154
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: was sweet, but we used to bullshit a lot because

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: obviously a coach for the Niners for a little bit,

156
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: but he's had cool stories. He was just he's a

157
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: football guy. And Marty told me, and he's like at

158
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: the time he had been in the league for twenty years.

159
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: The best player by far he'd ever seen as a

160
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Brett Farve. And you know clearly if he watched it,

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: he you know, he won three straight MVPs. He went

162
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: to back to back Super Bowl. He want Super Bowl.

163
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: I saw it, like, we haven't seen that many Brett Forves.

164
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, you know, the difference between Rodgers

165
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: and Farv is, let's face it, like the part of

166
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: what made far of cool is he was a little

167
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: out of control, a little bit of a renegade, and

168
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: that's fun to watch, especially when you're a kid like

169
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: most kids my age growing up watching him, I was like,

170
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: this guy just lead the rip. He doesn't give a

171
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: shot if he throws a pick. But then you get older,

172
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: you watch the game longer, and you realize, you know,

173
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: some picks are probably you want to stay away from.

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: So then Aaron Rodgers came along, and he was like

175
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: the button up version of Farve. He had all the

176
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: physical skills, could prow these ropes, but he also had

177
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: to touch and he didn't turn the ball over as much.

178
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: And I feel like Herbert is some hybrid of Elway

179
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: body farmarm, but like Roger's control. Now he's only in

180
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: year two and you'll be like, wow, he hasn't won anything.

181
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: I get it. Have you seen the guy stats? He

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: was sixty plus touchdowns and twenty plus picks in his

183
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: first year and a half in the league and he

184
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: doesn't play for some button up organization. Chargers have been,

185
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: let's face it, kind of an underachieving operation, and clearly

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Herbert is is gonna go down as one of the

187
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: best things that's ever happened to him. Now, are they

188
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna win a playoff game? I don't know. Is their

189
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: coach obsessed with going on fourth down? Yes? Do the

190
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: analytic people on social media cheer and be like, it's

191
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: not about the result, it's about the process. Why does

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: academia always talk down to all of us, like, hey, guys,

193
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: you're not the first one to pound the table about

194
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: going for it. People in the seventies sitting on their

195
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: couch watching Terry Bradshaw or Kenny the Stakes Stabler or

196
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: Roger's stall back screamed at their television and potentially black

197
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and white, some big box go for it. I've been

198
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: yelling go for it since the nineties. I was a

199
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: little kid anyone listening to this has screamed at your

200
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: television to go for it a million times. Guess what,

201
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: analytic elitius. We're all humans, we all want our team

202
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: to go for it. But there is a time and

203
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: a place, and at the end of the half, when

204
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: you're up fourteen to ten against a team that, let's

205
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: face it, has struggled to score, and you can make

206
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: it a touchdown game, it might be a good idea

207
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: to kick the field goal. I understand sometimes midfield long

208
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: field goals. I get it. Your field goal kickers are

209
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: not trustworthy. But at the two yard line to go

210
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: into half to make it a seven point game. You

211
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: know what? The final score was eight? You know why

212
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: because it was twenty eight going to overtime. What if

213
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: it had been thirty one to twenty eight, Chargers would

214
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: have fucking won the game. But the analytic guys who

215
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: told me it's about the process the result, Yeah, I

216
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: get it. I have a brain. I've watched football for

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: thirty years. We've all screamed at the TV to go

218
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: for it. We get it. I don't need a mathemat

219
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: titi and to tell me when and when not to.

220
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear you should probably kick a field goal

221
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the half when you're up going

222
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: in halftime, I don't know. They get the ball pretty

223
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: big swing. But you can call me an idiot and

224
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: call me some dinosaur whatever you know. I invest in cryptocurrency.

225
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm not that big of a stiff. But I love

226
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and I'm a huge fan. I love watching him.

227
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: That that the Herbert Mahomes, I can't get enough of that.

228
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I I could watch that if they played seventeen games

229
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: a week, I wouldn't miss a snap that. That was awesome.

230
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: So FI Stadium looked awesome, that the legends on the

231
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs brought it um. Just a fantastic game. And again,

232
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: if you if you didn't watch that, and I know

233
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: no one listening probably did not watch the game. But

234
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: we're not friends. Okay, if you've been listening to me

235
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: for a long time, you know where I stand on

236
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. I have nicknamed him fraud Meyer years ago,

237
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: well before I ever believe that he would coach in

238
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And then add about I guess

239
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: for me it would have been nine. I live in California,

240
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: so Pacific standard time Jacksonville. Last time I checked is

241
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: on the Eastern seaboard. They fired him in like twelve

242
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: thirty at night, or at least they announced it. Maybe

243
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: they fired him earlier in the day. But let's start

244
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: with overall. I've been fired, and listen, I'm not an

245
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer fan, but I'm not gonna take a victory

246
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: lap here. I never I don't root for people to

247
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: lose their job. I really don't care. It doesn't mean

248
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: anything to me what happens Urban Meyer. But shod Khan

249
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger. Send him packing, like several college coaches

250
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: have had happened to them over the years, at least

251
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: in my adult life. Uh. And let's start with the

252
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: most basic level. When you are I think, a parent,

253
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: when you are a boss, when you are a coach,

254
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: there are times when you have to be a quote

255
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: unquote asked the person I know. Growing up, me and

256
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: my dad butted heads all the time. You see bosses,

257
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: I've worked for people, you butt heads with them. Obviously,

258
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: As a coach, your button heads with them a lot

259
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: as well. And I don't It's not always negative. It's

260
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: just when you are in a position of authority as

261
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: a parent, as a coach, as a leader, you are

262
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: trying to push people under you to do better, to

263
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: go to higher levels. Right. If you're the manager of

264
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of salespeople, you want them to sell more stuff.

265
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: If you're the coach of a football team, whether it's

266
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: high school or the pros, you want guys to play better.

267
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: If you're the parent of four kids, you want them

268
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: to strive to be great people, to be successful, people,

269
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: to do things the right way. And no human being

270
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: at the time, even when we know we're wrong, or

271
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, if you're a younger person, you're immature.

272
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: You don't even realize it. Likes to be told how

273
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: to do something, what to do? Why? Why do you

274
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: think of so much pushback in society. I don't like

275
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: people telling me what to do what, never have, never

276
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: will right, And most people don't. And it's that that's

277
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: a whole another conversation. But when you look at urban

278
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Meyer like being an asshole, there comes a time and

279
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: a point when you have to do it. How we

280
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: deal with our pets. You yell at your dog for

281
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: chewing up your shoe. You don't want to scream your dog.

282
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: You love your dog. But there's a balancing act to it.

283
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: And I think the thing we saw with urban Meyer

284
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: is that his asshole tendencies and being just didn't factor

285
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: in gaining respect and in in college football and hell,

286
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: in high school football, you have complete authority, The coaches

287
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: are intimidated by you, and definitely the players are a

288
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: little less now with the transfer portal. Will get into

289
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: that a little bit later. Uh. You know, I don't

290
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: know how urban could have operated with the transfer portal,

291
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: not that he wouldn't have success, but he would have

292
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: had to change his tactics. But in the NFL, for example,

293
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: the story that came out before the Josh Lambeo story

294
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: that they kicked them. And I'm not gonna say Josh

295
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Lambo's lying, But do I believe that urban Meyer full

296
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: on kicked him, I don't know. Do I believe that

297
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: he was disrespecting him? For sure? Do I think that

298
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: urban Meyer looked at Josh Lambo like a loser kicker?

299
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: And we can dive in to urban Meyer and the

300
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, the way he handled his coaching staff for example,

301
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: and the story that came out from Tom Pellicoro was

302
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: that he called his coaching staff losers. And you can

303
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: do things like that in college football, And I'm not

304
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: whether he did or didn't over his years. I don't know,

305
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: but he's saying that too. And I talked about this

306
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Brian Schottenheimer. Brian Schottenheimer is born

307
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: and raised around the NFL. His dad, Marty Schottenheimer, passed

308
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: away pretty recently. Legend in the NFL. Brian Schottenheimer was

309
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL before urber Meyer came to the NFL,

310
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: and he'll be in the NFL after. He's also a

311
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: multi millionaire because when you're a coordinator in the league.

312
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: He's been getting seven figures for ten years. So when

313
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: you say that to a I and you call them

314
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: a loser, they're gonna be like one f you and

315
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: two they don't hesitate to leak that. And when you

316
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: look at the leaks, do you know when the leaks happen?

317
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: When I don't respect you, when I don't worry about

318
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do to me. If you find out

319
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the press, you know why I can

320
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: talk to the press. That does not happen very often

321
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: in college football with assistance. It happens a lot in

322
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: the pros, and it happens a lot in the pros

323
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: with coaches who do not have respect of their coaching

324
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: staff and of their players. That it doesn't happen in

325
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: New England, doesn't happen with the Colts. I haven't seen

326
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: it happen with John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, doesn't happen

327
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: with with Sean McVeigh, doesn't happen with Andy Reid, because

328
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: gaining the respect you need to do business with these people.

329
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: In college you can control at all. You are not

330
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: as dependent. Obviously you are dependent on the players, but

331
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: when you're getting the best players, you can force them

332
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: to do what you want them to do, and you're

333
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: just more talented, and you're coaching staff, you're just kind

334
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: of like the the king, the kingmaker. They all answer

335
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: to you. In the pros, you are very dependent. One

336
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: are your coordinators when you're not a play caller, and

337
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: two on your players liking you, respecting you, and what

338
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: They make a lot of money, as we see college

339
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: players now make money. The NFL players make a lot

340
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: more money. And not every NFL players three years old.

341
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: Some of them are twenty eight, some of them are

342
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: thirty two. Some of them have accumulated millions upon millions

343
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: of dollars, They have wives, they have kids like these,

344
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: aren't you're not dealing with young men. Sometimes you are,

345
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: but you're also dealing with adults. Andrew Witworth, forty year old,

346
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: starting tackle Tom Brady forty four years old. Aaron Rodgers

347
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: been in the NFL for like seventeen years now. Obviously,

348
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: the Jags, I would imagine, if we dove into it,

349
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: tend to have a younger team. But urban Meyer thought

350
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: that he could just and I've heard Coward say this

351
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: bulldoze everyone. To me, it was more about, like, you

352
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: don't understand the business of this, because in college football

353
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to play politics. Everyone answers to you.

354
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: In the NFL, even if you're Andy Reid or Bill

355
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: belichicker Sean Payton, you still need to play politics with

356
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: your owner, with your GM, and with some of your

357
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: star players, even when you're bad. And urban Meyer clearly

358
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: refused that, refused to do that. And I also don't

359
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: understand he didn't get the dynamics of his coaching staff.

360
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: And there are reports uh Aaron Wilson, who covers the Texans,

361
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: tweeted out yesterday that urban Meyer told his coaching staff

362
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: that he had better assistance at Bowling Green Like, no,

363
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: you didn't, Buddy, Like you can say what you want

364
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: about Bebel and Brian Schottenheimer. These guys have one playoff

365
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: games as coordinators. You'll never sniff that you won two

366
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: games in your NFL career. You lost eleven games. Eleven games,

367
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: I think he lost nine in Ohio State. You're a

368
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: fraud person, and listen, there is nothing wrong with being

369
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: an asshole. I was yelled at by Coach Hill. I

370
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I was yelled at by coach Read, but

371
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times he said something. They also idiot

372
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: me to his house for Thanksgiving. Coach Hill did everything

373
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: possible for me when I was a a he Both

374
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: the guys couldn't have been better bosses to me. Yet,

375
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: part of the job is to be hard on your

376
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: assistance your players. But there's a balance in college too.

377
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm sorry, I just don't respect Urban Meyer. I

378
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: I really don't, because he just he doesn't get it.

379
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: He's a not get it guy. And sometimes and I

380
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: said this with Chip Kelly, I said this with John Gruden.

381
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: You accumulate so much money doing it your way, I

382
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: think you lose touch. John Gruden hasn't won a meaningful

383
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: game in like twenty years, but he's accumulated a hundred

384
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: plus million dollars over that period of time, not even

385
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: coaching before he came to the Raiders. So why would

386
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: he think that his way doesn't work? You saw it

387
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly as things crumbled in the pros, he

388
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: refused to change Smoothies. I'm gonna run my offense like bro,

389
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: it ain't working, you gotta change. Urban Meyer refused to

390
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: change because all he knows is his way, and in

391
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: fairness to his way, his way has accumulated him probably

392
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars. So I, as someone who's never

393
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: made a hundred million dollars, if I made it doing

394
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: it a certain way, it would be hard to pivot.

395
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: But that was his kind of undoing is he just

396
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get out of his own way. Didn't understand how

397
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: to play politics because at Florida State and Ohio State,

398
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: he never played politics. He was the judge, the jury

399
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: and the final you know it was he was a

400
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: decision maker over the president, over the a D and

401
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: the moment ship went sour. Florida people robbing people selling drugs,

402
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: murdering people. He left Ohio State ship hit the fan left.

403
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: He just quits. I mean, it's just that's that's his

404
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: m O. He just quits. I say this all the time,

405
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: like he has these mental panic attacks like Saban doesn't.

406
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: Belichick doesn't. And they've had rough times, bad losses, they

407
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: just keep chugging along. And then here's the other thing.

408
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: I I went on this ran a couple of weeks

409
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: ago about Joe Judge and Robert Sala, who Robert Sala

410
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: is an A plus human being. And I've watched a

411
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: lot of Joe Judge press conferences. He's really impressive. He's

412
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: I'm impressed with Joe Judge. But I think when you

413
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: play the quote unquote CEO role, and these guys are

414
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: NFL guys, right, Judge worked for Belichick for half a decade,

415
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: one Super bowls. Robert Salo was the defensive coordinator of

416
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: a team that won the NFC been in the league

417
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: for over a decade. These guys are NFL coaches and

418
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: they know it, but they get hired and they immediately

419
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: become a CEO. And when you become the CEO, to me,

420
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: it's always crazy when you hire a forty year fourty

421
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: year old CEO, and people like, what about Mike Toblin,

422
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: what about the Baltimore Ravens. Say that out loud, the

423
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers in the Baltimore Ravens, two of the better organizations,

424
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: not in sports, but in American business. When I say

425
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: the Jets, when I say this current version of the

426
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: Giants the last half decade, and the Jags, they are disastrous.

427
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: They need they need coaches, they need people to dictate

428
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: the game. And when you're the CEO, you're not able

429
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: to dictate the game. And once you get into the season,

430
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: like culture, all that bullshit like can you scheme guys open, Well,

431
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: when you're the CEO, you're not. You're not impacting the

432
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: game on any of the facets, right, You're not calling

433
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: the place. It's why I don't understand hiring young coaches

434
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: that then immediately become CEOs. Now Urban is obviously older,

435
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: he's sixty years old, while he's never coached in the NFL.

436
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: I think that Robert Sala and Joe Judge understand NFL

437
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: players infinitely better than Urban Meyer. But like Urban, what

438
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: could Urban do to fix his problems? He wasn't the

439
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: offensive play caller. He doesn't know anything about defense beside

440
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: recruiting the bosses and sweet players and special teams. I

441
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: don't even know if he cares so Chip Kelly, who

442
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: ultimately failed in the NFL and while Urban was also fired.

443
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: In the middle of the night, Chip Kelly was escorted

444
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: out of the Eagles building because the players and the

445
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: building hated him. They could not stand him. But early

446
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: on in Chip's tenure, I think his first and probably

447
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: halfway through a second year was having a lot of success.

448
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: He dictated terms of every game. He was the offensive

449
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: play caller. It's why his career even at U c

450
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: l A. He can dictate the game. He's dialing up

451
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: sixties seventy many snaps there are on offense every game,

452
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: every single one of them. He puts his imprint on.

453
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers is standing there looking weird at Bevil and Schottenheimer.

454
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, what are you doing. It's like you're

455
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: not doing anything on game day beside calling time outs

456
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: because we've seen his quotes about you know, this guy

457
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: needs to play more. This guy did a good job,

458
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: and it will turn out the guy didn't even plays

459
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: like he didn't even know what the fun was going on.

460
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Now you could say Urban wanted to get fired. Maybe

461
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: he did, but I I just think he's listen, we

462
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: all have egos, right that. No one everyone listening to

463
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: this has an ego. Some are bigger than others. If

464
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: you if you can't contain your ego as money and

465
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: money keeps flowing, which Urban does, it can get out

466
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: of control when you actually don't know what you're doing.

467
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: And clearly in the NFL he did not know what

468
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: he was doing. Maybe he wanted to get fired. I

469
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: don't know, but as a CEO head coach, this thing

470
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: was a runaway train and shot. Khan really had no

471
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: choice but to fire him. And the main reason he

472
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: had to fire him is because in theory, they're sitting

473
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: on a gold mine and his name is Trevor Lawrence.

474
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: And Trevor Lawrence would have been the number one pick

475
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: every year basically the last twenty years, beside Andrew Luck

476
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: and then even that it probably would have been a

477
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: coin flip if they had been in the same class,

478
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: but every single year since, like Peyton Manning, there is

479
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind that Trevor Lawrence would have

480
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: been the number one pick. So you have a guy

481
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: that you didn't luck into because you were really shitty.

482
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: You deserve that guy because you were so bad you

483
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: only won one game previously. He's your franchise and if

484
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: you are ever going to dig yourself out of the

485
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: whole of losing. And that's what the Jags are. They're

486
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: the biggest joke franchise currently in the NFL. They run

487
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: through coaches, they have double digit losses I think Levin

488
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: out of the last twelve seasons. They're a joke. And

489
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: you can tell me the cons have a lot of

490
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: money and shot like a show does his son just

491
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: inherit it and gets to work for him. And that's

492
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: not a shot of Tony. I he follows me on

493
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Twitter whatever, but he shod made the money. I think

494
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: Tony has actually made him some money some of this

495
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: wrestling stuff often, but his team's loose. And as people

496
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: that follow soccer much closely, uh much much more closely

497
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: than myself, they tell me his soccer team in Europe

498
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: sucks also. So for whatever reason, this guy can generate

499
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money in the business world, but when

500
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: he owns sports teams, he doesn't know what he's doing.

501
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: But in football, and I guess basketball to baseball. The

502
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: drafts a little bit different. When you suck, you just

503
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: get to draft really high. And they got to draft

504
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: really high for years. Right. Jalen Ramsey borders they missed

505
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: Lenny playoff. Lenny looks fantastic in Tampa Bay. He has

506
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. And a big reason quarterbacks succeed or failed

507
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: is not necessarily always their own fault. Right you are

508
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: as a quarterback dependent on offensive lineman, on wide receivers,

509
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: on your play caller, on your head coach, on the team.

510
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: And when you look at the Jags, they're headed nowhere fast,

511
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: but they're gonna ruin this kid. And right now, if

512
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: you said, if you told Kyle Shanahan got on the

513
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: phone right now and said, hey, would you trade yesterday

514
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, TREYE Lance and some picks to get Trevor Lawrence,

515
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: they wouldn't hesitate. If you you could pull you know what,

516
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: the Jets, Hey, you can give us Zack Wilson and

517
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: two ones for Trevor Lawrence. They would do the deal. Now,

518
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean Trevor Lawrence is gonna turn out to

519
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: be John Elway. Peyton Manning Hell just some productive NFL player.

520
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: But that's the way he's viewed still currently, and everyone's

521
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna blame the organization as they should. So you have

522
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: to figure out you had to fire him because you

523
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: couldn't allow for this toxic environment when your franchise is

524
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: all gonna be dependent on this guy's success or failure.

525
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: And last week, or maybe it was two weeks ago,

526
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: when James Robinson wasn't in some big spots and then

527
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: they asked Trevor Lawrence, He's like, it makes no sense

528
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: to me, our best players should be in the game. Like,

529
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: to me, that was as big of a sign as

530
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: anything Josh Lambo said, or the report about the coaches

531
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: being called losers coming out. That to me was the

532
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 1: number one red flag since the incident with the girls

533
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: at the bar, which was a ouncho. Now, I bet

534
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: there are gonna be some people that believe, and I

535
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: think it's believable to think that he wanted to get fired.

536
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: But I had heard rumors that Oregon was very interested

537
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: in urban Meyer. And if I was urban Meyer, wouldn't

538
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: you have just gone to the owner and severed ties

539
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: if you didn't want that job. I think a lot

540
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: of people think he'll get another job. I don't even

541
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: know if he wants to coach. You know, who knows.

542
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just completely over it. Shot Kan has to

543
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: pay him to go away. But this was just a

544
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: great example of a person who couldn't get out of

545
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: his own way and was such a big asshole. Refused

546
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: to play politics, and he refused to swallow his ego ever,

547
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: and he was just a finger pointer and blamed other people.

548
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: Which I'm not acting like their coaching staff was very good,

549
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: because it's not but to act like all high and

550
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: mighty two guys like Daryl Bevel and Brian Schottenheimer when

551
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: they've accomplished way more than you in any industry, especially

552
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: when people are making a lot of money. It's he

553
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: if I'm a high school football player, my high my

554
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: high school coach can whatever he wants to me. I

555
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: have no juice, I have no leverage. But if I'm

556
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: an NFL fifth year veteran, especially one that if you

557
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: just paid me twenty five million dollars, you do got

558
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: to earn my respect a little bit, right. I've I've

559
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: proven that I'm worth some money. I'm a good player.

560
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: You can't just treat me like crap. And I think

561
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: urban Meyer really struggled with that. And you can say, well,

562
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: he must have figured something matter Ohio State. He always

563
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: was the boss. So even Zeke Elliott, the Boses, whatever

564
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: great player that played for him at Florida, Ohio State,

565
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: he was. It was a cut and dry. He was

566
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: a superior and I I just think that this was

567
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: inevitable from the jump. It went even worse than I

568
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: thought it would go. But the Jags just they gotta

569
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: find a way to dig themselves selves out of a hole.

Speaker 1: this because the moment I see any media member or

598
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: any human on my timeline on TV talking about COVID,

599
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: I immediately changed the channel. Uh, you couldn't pay me to.

600
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone's opinion, and I would imagine none

601
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: of you want any opinion. It's two two. But the

602
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: NFL right now, this O macron variant is clearly firing

603
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: right through all these vaccinated people. They have to change

604
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: the rules because they're gonna have people continue to test positive.

605
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: If you are asymptomatic and you're testing positive, you should

606
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: be able to play. There have been no studies or

607
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: rule or any thing that have found that people playing

608
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: the game of football spreads COVID. That's just that's the fact, right,

609
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. There hasn't been an outbreak with Arizona in

610
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: l A. And they just played a game with several

611
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: people tested positive twelve hours later. So they're gonna have

612
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: to adapt, They're gonna have to figure out rules or

613
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna only get worse. And also it's pretty

614
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: clear what's the definition of insanity doing the same thing

615
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: over and over that studies on this oh maicron variant

616
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: that is not very powerful. So I think we need

617
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: to change our mind. In terms of Roger Goodell, it's

618
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: tough because you're dealing with the union. A lot of

619
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: this stuff, you know, it's this might offend some people.

620
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: A lot of this stuff c y A uh that

621
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: that's the way big business works with insurance. I've said

622
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: it up forever, like why do they test for marijuana

623
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: because it has to do with insurance. The moment is

624
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: that you think half the owners are probably high as

625
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: we as I record this right now. They don't actually

626
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: care about marijuana. It has to do with insurance stuff.

627
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: It's complicated. All this stuff revolves around business, and I

628
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: just think a lot of this stuff the theater behind

629
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: it all. At this point, again, we're almost in two

630
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: thousand twenty two. We've seen these spikes and these different

631
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: things happen like three or four times over the last

632
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: eighteen months. And I know where I live. It's like

633
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: they just arbitrarily like wear masks again for the next

634
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: thirty days. You just arbitrarily pulling that like we we've

635
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: seen like I got news for your mass. Don't really

636
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: do anything. We know that we've seen it. There was

637
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: just a study in Los Angeles where they mask mandate

638
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: everywhere you go, and and uh, Orange County where they

639
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: have had no mass mandates. It's way worse than Los Angeles.

640
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: Like the information is in. We have to pivot, we

641
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: have to change. Most of us normal people have a

642
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: year ago. I think it's time for some of these

643
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: businesses to adapt and pivot. And number one with the NFL,

644
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: or you're gonna have to like what if Tom Brady

645
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: test positive before a playoff game? What if Patrick mahomes like?

646
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: It could be devastating asymptomatic players who are who are

647
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: testing positive. We got we gotta change, and we have

648
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: to do it fast. Uh the game of the weekend

649
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: by far, Colts Pats can't wait to watch this. I

650
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: gotta give the Colts some credit, right I I thought

651
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: that the Carson Wentz was a bold move, but early

652
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: on in the season, and I know a lot of

653
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: Colts fans got mad at me when I said that

654
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was playing that wells too Sickly,

655
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: He's been pretty good this year. Twenty two touchdowns, five interceptions,

656
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: and one of the picks remember wasn't in the end

657
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: zone against the Tennessee Titans. Everyone freaked out. Sin was

658
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: the worst pick they had ever seen he was gonna

659
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: get a uh, he would have got a safety, and

660
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: that safety would have immediately led to them punting the

661
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: ball and they would have lost the game. Now, they

662
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: ended up losing that game, but they went overtime because

663
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: he let him down on a on a game tying drive. Well,

664
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm someone who's given the Colts a lot of credits

665
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: over the credit over the years. I speak Kylie about

666
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard. I think he's a stud. I like Frank

667
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: w Reich a lot. I think their team is really good.

668
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: Eventually got to win a big game, and this is

669
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: a game where last year they had somewhat of a

670
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: ceiling because Philip Rivers was old. Love the guy, but

671
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: he was on his last leg. He was like a

672
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: better version of you know, Roethlisberger, right the Roethlisberger we're

673
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: seeing now, But it was clear he was a shell

674
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: of himself. And I think the Colts what they need

675
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: to do. They win this game like they deserve real credit.

676
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: They have a tangible, big win against Belichick at home.

677
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the Patriots historically have owned, let

678
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: me repeat owned Indianapolis. There's a standalone game on Saturday Night.

679
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: They are favored the Colts, or excuse me, the Patriots.

680
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: Part of them owning them all those years was Tom Brady.

681
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: You lose to Tom Brady, it's like losing to Michael Jordan's.

682
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: It's like losing to Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, you know,

683
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: getting struck out by Roger Clemens or Greg Maddox. You

684
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: lose to an all time great player. Sometimes you just

685
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: tip your hat, but you're gonna lose. The mac Jones like,

686
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: come on, Indy, I think you're a playoff team, and

687
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: I actually think you're a team that could win a

688
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: first round playoff game on the road. But I can't

689
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: say that if you lose this game, you're at home.

690
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: You're coming off of bye week. So are they. But

691
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: like Frank, who I know locally, takes some ship in

692
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: Indianapolis because he's a very aggressive coach, and sometimes his

693
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: aggressive plays on fourth and short or in the red zone,

694
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: he runs pretty basic plays. It feels like like he

695
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: just runs right up the gut and it's like, Frank,

696
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: we want you to go for it. And the analytic

697
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: people love taking credit for people going for it. Like

698
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: every single human the last fifty years hasn't been screaming

699
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: at their television to go for it. But you do

700
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: have to be innovative on some of those plays. But

701
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: this is a huge week for Indianapolis because I do

702
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: think the Indianapolis Colts, and I'm recording this part before

703
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game, but win or lose, I think

704
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: the Colts and the Chargers as wild card teams would

705
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: just one of those two teams that wouldn't shock me

706
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: if they win wild card weekend. Now, obviously they'd both

707
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: be on the road. It's hard to tell in the

708
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 1: a f C. You know, when they play the Titans,

709
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: when they play the Chiefs, where they pay the play

710
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Ravens. Who knows. We you know

711
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: that it's it's easier to kind of big picture of

712
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: the NFC outlook. It's a little harder in the a

713
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: f C. But I am confident the Colts and the

714
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Chargers are gonna be playing, you know, after the Week

715
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: eight team And I just think that if one of

716
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: those two teams gets it right, but specifically the Colts,

717
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: uh that they could be they could be a very

718
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: very tough out. The other thing that happened in the

719
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: big story was Dean Sanders landing, you know, the number

720
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: one recruit depending on where you look. I just go

721
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: to rivals h Travis Henry to go to Jackson State

722
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: and just the chaos of college football. And I actually

723
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: talked to an executive uh in the NFL a couple

724
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: of nights ago. He called me. He's on the East coast.

725
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: He was driving late, and we ended up talking for

726
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: a couple of hours and I just started pepper and

727
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: him about questions and he brought something up. He said,

728
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: everyone's acting like and listen, I think the media has

729
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: been very disingenuous over the years about college athletics. I

730
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: mean specifically football and definitely the NBA. I love Ja Billis,

731
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: but he's talked forever about like how corrupt the n

732
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: C double A is. And listen, I hate the n

733
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: C double A. I'm not advocating for them. I I

734
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: don't take them seriously. I think they're a joke. I

735
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: think that they're not They said arbitrary rules that these

736
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: schools choose to follow. But he always acted like the

737
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: players were always getting screwed well in college basketball, unlike

738
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: the NFL or I mean, excuse me, college football, where

739
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: there's three hundred plus, you know, big recruits, right, the rivals,

740
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: big three players. I mean there are on any given

741
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: year thirty forty five stars and then a ton of

742
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: four stars. So one individual player is not like Landing

743
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: Lebron James, right. That's obviously in college college basketball, players

744
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: well before I was born and well like even to

745
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: this day are being paid a premium and they always

746
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: have been. And Jimbo Fisher said it yesterday. He's like,

747
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: let's face it, n I L was going on before

748
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 1: n I L. Just no one ever said anything about

749
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: players in college football have been been paid over the

750
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: years under the table. I have no problem with it.

751
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm for it. The main difference beside the n i

752
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: L rule that now you can publicize is the transfer portal.

753
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: And the thing that my buddy was telling me is

754
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: that coaches will tell him. These are coaches in the SEC,

755
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, the a SEC that they get nervous

756
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: if they have like a freshman or sophomore who's playing

757
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a potential really good player, might

758
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: be a good player. At the time, They're like, you know,

759
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: sometimes I hesitate to coach him hard. I I struggled

760
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: to like push him where I think he needs to

761
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: go because I don't want to come off like being

762
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: an asshole. And then have looked the next day and

763
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 1: he's in the transfer portal because now it's a free

764
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: for all. So this notion that college football is much

765
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: more fair, it's like the NFL bullshit. In the NFL,

766
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: when I get drafted hell as a fourth round pick

767
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: and I make the team, I'm on a four year contract.

768
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: I can't just pick up and leave here too. If

769
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm on the l A Rams and go, you know what,

770
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Green Bay Packers. But if I'm

771
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: a freshman at Ohio State, at Oregon wherever, I can

772
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: just pick up and leave, which I'm not totally against.

773
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: But one thing that I heard about L s U.

774
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: Scott Wood word fired at Oseron because he thought he

775
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: had Jimbo in his back pocket. And it turns out

776
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: the two most the two teams with the most money

777
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: in college football, as I've been told, is Texas has

778
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of cash and they have no problem

779
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: spending it, and they're doing it right now. On offensive

780
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: lineman number two is Texas and M And I think

781
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: Jimbo realized he's sitting on a gold mine. And then

782
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: he also realized I can get players here. And he

783
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: had the number one recruiting class depending on where you look.

784
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: So they thought they had Jimbo Fisher. It turns out

785
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: they did, and they thought they had other guys. They

786
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: end up with Brian Kelly. But the moment that they

787
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: fired at oseron whatever, we you know, middle of the season,

788
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: all their players that are worth anything, and they got

789
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of talented players at l s. U started

790
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: calling these other programs their buddies, like come get me

791
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: dog Alabama, Kirby Smart, Ohio State, I want to come

792
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: play for you. And that to me, like listen, every

793
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: once in a while that happens. I don't know in

794
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: the NFL if a guy is gonna be a free agent.

795
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham once famously told John Lynch, come and get me.

796
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: But it doesn't work that way. I still have to

797
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: make a trade. I still have to do business in

798
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: college football. It's just a free for all. It's the

799
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: wild wild West. How the Internet right now is the

800
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: wild wild West. And I'm lucky enough to be in

801
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: the business of the Internet. I'm benefiting from the rules.

802
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: There aren't any, right, and it's the early adapters on

803
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: crypto really profited. They were ahead of the curve. Eventually,

804
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a lot of rules on the internet.

805
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: We're already staying seeing it come slowly but surely. We're

806
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: in the emphasy of this wild wild west of college football.

807
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: The trans reportal all this stuff. It is going to

808
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: be regulated eventually. I was told that people in college football,

809
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: the coaches and the power brokers, believe that over the

810
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: next five ten years, they'll just be a salary cap,

811
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of like the NFL, and want you to a

812
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: salary cap, like you know, your top thirty players make

813
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: two grand, your next players make a hunter. However it works,

814
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: I'm just picking arbitrary numbers. Then you have guys quote

815
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: unquote like under contract, and maybe there's a rule if

816
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: your coach leaves. I got no problem if a guy

817
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: wants to leave l s U his coach left or

818
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: was fired, right, he doesn't want to play for Brian Kelly.

819
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: If I wanted to play for Brian Kelly, I would

820
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: have got a notre name. I got no issue with that.

821
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: But some of these players that you know are just

822
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: tradeferring after their freshman year if they didn't win a job,

823
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: if they think the coaches being a dick. I would

824
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: imagine half of them they're gonna look back in like

825
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: ten years be like, yeah, that's probably a mistake. And

826
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: I do think we're gonna see more regulation on this situation.

827
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: I also think Dion Sanders just became way more valuable.

828
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: I would bet right now ten thousand dollars there is

829
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: no way on God's green earth that Travis Hunter, Travis Henry,

830
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter I think is his name, and Dion Sanders

831
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: are at Jackson State in two years. I think there's

832
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance that both guys are at a

833
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: new school next year, and if Hunter really likes Dion,

834
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: they'll go as a package deal. That's another thing I

835
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: hear that's happening a lot in college football. So when

836
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: assistant is at school X, let's just say an SEC school,

837
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: he calls let's say Lincoln Riley or another coach that

838
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: just got a new job, or another coach that has

839
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: a job opening on the staff and goes coach, I

840
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: want to be your offensive coordinator. I want to be

841
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: your defensive coordinator, and I can bring these three guys.

842
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: That's you know, in the NFL. If I'm Robert Saloon,

843
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: I get hired from the Jets and I bring La

844
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: Fleur with me, So I bring a bunch of guys

845
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: from the fort. If I want to get some of

846
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: those guys who just played for us and set the culture,

847
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: I have to sign them. They either have to be

848
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: free agents. If they're under contract, I don't have access

849
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: to them well right now. In college football you have

850
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: access to everyone and the shadiness. Like listen, college sports,

851
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: especially for football and basketball, have always been shady, which

852
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: I've I enjoy. One of my favorite movies ever is

853
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: Blue Chips. I I enjoyed that aspect. I didn't think

854
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: we've jumped the shark a little bit. And I also think,

855
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: having been I don't know, eighteen nineteen twenty year old guy,

856
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you always make the best decisions. I

857
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: also think you don't always know who to ask. The

858
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: older you get, the more relationships you create, the more

859
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: mentors and people you could run ideas. I think a

860
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: lot of these kids, and I was told about this

861
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: one guy at a smaller program whose defensive coordinator who

862
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: was leaving to go to a Power five program was

863
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: pitching one of the star players on defense, I want

864
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: you to come with me. This guy had the opportunity

865
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: to go to the Power five originally at a high

866
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: school and chose to go to this university and felt uncomfortable,

867
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: so he called his dad. He's like, what should I do?

868
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: The dad was furious, called the school, called the coach.

869
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: Don't ever talk to my son again. It's putting some

870
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: of these kids in compromising situations. I know the media

871
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: elites celebrate this stuff. It's like, do whatever you want,

872
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: just a free for all. Like free for alls don't

873
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: usually work. I'm all for these guys getting money. I'm

874
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: all for having the ability to transfer if your coach leaves,

875
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: but I do think they have And I don't know

876
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: who is to choose to be able to make the

877
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: regulations and the restrictions because it is complicated, but they

878
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: clearly need some They just need some sort of you know,

879
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, just you know some rules. They're just

880
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: legitimately right now, are no rules. It is the wild,

881
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: wild West. And let's face it, we make such a

882
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: big deal like coaches can leave where they ever they want.

883
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: How many coaches leave every year. I felt like this

884
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: year was pretty big, right five or six, and a

885
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of it was domino effects. But it's not as

886
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: crazy as we think. But the amount of kids in

887
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: the transfer portal, I text abuddy, who, uh, who's a

888
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: Power five basically their GM? And I say, how do

889
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: you know? Because like in the NFL, you know, you

890
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: just have to evaluate the NFL players. If a guy

891
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: gets cut, you just evaluate him. I'm like, how do

892
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: you know who do evaluate in the transfer portal? He's like,

893
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: we have a couple of rules. If the guy's a

894
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: Power five starter, we we write him up, you know,

895
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: and then we see if like this is a guy

896
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: that we should be all over. If we recruited him,

897
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: obviously we're all over. And then if he's a you know,

898
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: if he's a productive player, even if he's not a starter,

899
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: we also evaluate him. But he's like, it can get

900
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: very overwhelming. On a given day. The number can go

901
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: from five to a hundred, and we don't have the manpower.

902
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Most programs are not Alabama Ohio state and have unlimited

903
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: amount of resources. So Dion Sanders and the number one

904
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: recruit are not going to be a Jackson State all

905
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: three years again, I would bet I bet fifty dollars

906
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: on that. And I think one of the ways this

907
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: is gonna start working for coaches is they're gonna become

908
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: like package deals. Package deals don't happen in the NFL.

909
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're you're on your own kind of

910
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: Now it's it's much more black and white in the NFL.

911
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: Right if I'm a free agent, how much you're gonna

912
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: pay me? In college football, it's like there's just some

913
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: weirdness going on, and which is fun, it's entertaining. I'm

914
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: all four, I've enjoyed enjoying following all this, But man,

915
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: I do think they need to find a way to

916
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: range some of the craziness in a little bit for

917
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: the health of the sport big picture. Okay, let's bring

918
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: out some middlecoff mail back questions. I know a lot

919
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: of you guys said them. I'm not gonna be able

920
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: to get to everyone apologize. I will try to over

921
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: the next week. My question is a Seahawks fan, how

922
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 1: should I be feeling right now? There's still a chance,

923
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: albeit a small one, that we make the playoffs if

924
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: we win out. I really think that winning six of

925
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: our last some games and the first round playoff exit

926
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: would be enough to keep status quo and leaving the

927
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: current regime. I always love Pete for bringing a decade

928
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: of success in a Super Bowl to Seattle, but it's

929
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: time for a change. Just slightly above football purgatory. What

930
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: are your thoughts. I think they have a decent chance

931
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: to win this weekend in l A. And if they

932
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: win this week in l A, you guys are gonna

933
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: be eight and eight going into Week seven. I guess

934
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: it would be Week eight team. But the seventeenth game

935
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, you're gonna be eight and eight. I'm

936
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: telling you. Your next two games are the Lions and

937
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: the Bears. So it's all. If you're gonna have a

938
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: chance this weekend, is it because you're winning the next

939
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: two weeks? I'm with you. I just let's just see

940
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: what happens this week, and then we will assess the

941
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: big picture of Seattle, Pete. Even though we already kind

942
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: of put you know, it's it's weird, we already buried them.

943
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, let's just I like I like

944
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: the Rams plus five and a half fandel download the

945
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: app promo code column had a question regarding my Cowboys.

946
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: Obviously we have two young cornerstone defensive players, Parsons and Digs.

947
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: Would it be would it be in the team's best

948
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: interest to draft another defensive back, corner or safety in

949
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: the first round of the next year's draft, or would

950
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: it be more impactful to draft a left tackle of

951
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: the future to replace Tyrone Smith. My philosophy is simple.

952
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: If you do need a quarterback and you have a

953
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: guy on your board that is worthy of a selection

954
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: in the first round that plays defensive line or offensive line,

955
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm always taking that position. If I can get a tackle,

956
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: if I can get a pass rusher, if I can

957
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: get a good defensive tackle, I'm doing it now. If

958
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: the board doesn't play out that way, and there's a safety,

959
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: there's a seedee lamb, I'll pull the trigger. But non quarterback,

960
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: I lean offensive or defensive line. I just do. And

961
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: I think more often than not, you build your team

962
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: that way. Look at the Cowboys. You guys drafted offensive

963
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: lineman for years. This year you drafted Micah Parsons and

964
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: your fucking franchise turned around. Now it's not all you

965
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: know his doing, but he's played a big role in it.

966
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: Stucky is my cousin, and hearing him on your show

967
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: for the first time was pretty sick. He's a smart

968
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: s o B. I agree. I love Stucky. Question for

969
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: the pod. You've obviously been around lots of stars, sports

970
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: or not. Has there ever been a celebrity you met

971
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: where you were starstruck? Uh? Yeah, Brett Farve. When I

972
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: worked for the Eagles, we played Minnesota on a Tuesday

973
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: because like some weather situation, he was out of the

974
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: game because he had got knocked out. And I remember

975
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: walking by him in the halls. He was coming by

976
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: to say hi to Andy Reid and Marty morning Wig,

977
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: and I just went silent. I had nothing to say.

978
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: And I met Joe Montana one day in the city.

979
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: I just went right up to him, started bullshitting. I

980
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: used the move like he didn't know me. I just

981
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: I went with the move. I talked about his son

982
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: because at the time, I think his son was playing

983
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: for the University of Washington. If you ever get a

984
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: chance to talk to someone really famous and you know

985
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: anything about their family, I'm saying in a good way,

986
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: like if you could bring up their children, it's the

987
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: easiest way to get a conversation, Like if I ever

988
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: ran into Tiger Woods and it was just me and

989
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, first thing I'd asked him would be about

990
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: how Charlie doing. It's the easiest ice breaker to get

991
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: someone to kind of relax because you know what every

992
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: dad and you know, I don't know how many famous

993
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: women I've ever met, but how many famous like former

994
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: pro athletes, they have a soft spot for their kids.

995
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: You ever meet Bill Belichick asked him how it's like

996
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: to coach with his son Steve. It's just a soft spot.

997
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: Every single parent has a soft spot for their children.

998
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: So I would say Far is the guy that I

999
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: I froze. I didn't know what to do. Jimmy, what's up? Man?

1000
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: Big football fan? Listen to the last couple of podcasts.

1001
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: Love him, great insight. Thanks man. Looks like Jimmy uh

1002
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: place for the White Sox. Thanks Jimmy, Jimmy Lambert, Good luck, buddy.

1003
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: Who do you think should be the bar shortlist of

1004
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: head coach and general manager if pace is shown the door?

1005
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: I've heard Leslie Fraser, but I think that's not offensively favorable.

1006
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: Todd Bowle sounds like a good choice. He's also a

1007
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: defensive guy. Uh, I think you gotta go offense unless

1008
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: you go Pat Fitzgerald. Now, Urban was a disaster. We

1009
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: obviously talked about that. But Pat Fitzgerald has said to

1010
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: people in his circle, and I know a couple of

1011
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: people in the circle, the Chicago Bears job has always

1012
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: been something to him. I do think he could just

1013
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: bring them some stability. I would call Path fis Gerald,

1014
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: and I know he's a defensive guy. I know he's

1015
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: coached in Northwestern his entire career. But I know a

1016
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: couple of people that have been around and work for

1017
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald, and these same people have been on Super

1018
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: Bowl teams in the NFL as executives and been around

1019
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: high level coaches. They swear by the guy, So I

1020
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: I know it's I I would think about it. Uh.

1021
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: Do you do you think that the offensive lines have

1022
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: to be constructed differently or able to play a different

1023
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: way depending on who their quarterback is, a guy like

1024
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: Brady who stands in the pocket or a guy like

1025
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: Kyler or Lamar who often moods outside the pocket. That

1026
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: is a really good question, and I would have to Uh.

1027
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: I'd probably have to ask a couple of guys on

1028
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs if they've had to evaluate offensive lineman different

1029
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: for Patrick because obviously he moves around. I mean, not

1030
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: that I'm not at the level of Kyler, but I

1031
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: know a guy in the Raven staff I could ask

1032
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: him that's that's a fascinating question. I I honestly, I

1033
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 1: haven't spent much time thinking about it. But you know,

1034
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you ultimately just want to

1035
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: get really good players. Obviously, the more athletic, the easier

1036
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: it is to kind of move when a guy scrambling.

1037
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: But you know, good offensive lineman can just block. You know,

1038
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: once a guy starts moving, what can you do, Like,

1039
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, the defensive lineman start moving laterally so you

1040
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: can't really hold him. Um, I think it's somewhat. I

1041
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: think you just look for the best offensive lineman. That

1042
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: would be my gut instinct, without like, you know, asking

1043
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: A bunch of people in the league been listening more

1044
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: and more to the podcast, very entertaining, appreciate it. Not

1045
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: trying to recompliments here. Longtime Bears fan. I really like

1046
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: what we're seeing from fields this far. A bit rocky

1047
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: oft times, but he's a rookie. Assuming Naggi has gone

1048
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, which isn't a very

1049
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: controversial statement at this stage. Do you have any opinion

1050
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: on Chicago's next head coach? Just answered it specifically, someone

1051
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: you think that could continue building around feel if they

1052
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: didn't go with Pat Fitzgerald and there's no guarantee that

1053
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: Pat would take the job, you know, I think you

1054
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: just have to go an offensive guy Byron Leftwich. Doug

1055
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: Peterson has been out a year. He offensive guy quarterback? Um,

1056
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: what about stealing a coach? You know? What about you know,

1057
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: I saw Albert Brier wrote about this a while back.

1058
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: What about going college? What about calling the Saints and

1059
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: trying to trade for Sean Payton? Do something like that? Why?

1060
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: Why does that never happen in in pro football? Now?

1061
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: I'd have to ask some cap guys and some presidents

1062
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: how this ship works. But happens in college football all

1063
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: the time. Why can't you just go steal Sean Payton?

1064
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: That would be my first call, maybe Sean Payton? Can

1065
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: you get Sean Payton? Then you go to school? Was

1066
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: it Jimmy Garoppolo or Tony Romo? School? Is he? Is

1067
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: he from Illinois? Sean Payton? That's I'd actually go with

1068
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Good answer by me. I'm in a debate

1069
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: with my friend and I want to know if my

1070
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: side has any merit. I say it could be advantageous

1071
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: for the Packers to go to Tampa for the NFC

1072
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: Championship instead of being played at Lambeau. Both teams have

1073
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: good offensive lines who, especially late in the year, go

1074
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: out of their way to run the ball in the

1075
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: cold tundra. The Bucks have more weapons than the Packers.

1076
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: Also this year, specifically setting up to be an Aaron

1077
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers Screw You Tour if they play s F and

1078
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: win and they avenged prior losses, and then if they

1079
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: played Dallas, there's the whole Mike McCarthy aspect. And then

1080
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: to go to Tom's house and get revenge from last year,

1081
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: topped off of beating Mahomes Belichick super Bowl in l A.

1082
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be storybook? What are your thoughts? Well, if

1083
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: you told me the best possible outcome for any individual player,

1084
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: Like I don't think it's Brady beating Belichick. Brady one

1085
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: last year, like he's won seven, what's what's really the

1086
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: eighth gonna be? And he beats Belichick Belichick is a

1087
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. I think you just laid out by far

1088
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: the best possibility. Now. I don't know, we have to

1089
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: think it out the seating how this would play out.

1090
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: But if Aaron Rodgers can beat the forty Niners who

1091
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: have beat him multiple times, if my memory serves me correct,

1092
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: they beat him in multiple second rounds, and they beat

1093
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: him in the NFC championship two years ago, and it's

1094
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: his hometown team. So he beats the Niners, then he

1095
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: beats a McCarthy, then he beats Brady and Tampa, and

1096
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: then he just beats Belichick. Yes, I think that would

1097
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: be some icing on the cake ship for Aaron Rodgers.

1098
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: And who's thirty eight and who the I'm sure the

1099
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: Packers would love and I repeat love to give a

1100
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars too. And I just don't see

1101
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: why you want to leave question for the mail back.

1102
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: Do you think Justin Fields could become an elite top

1103
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: five quarterback with better coaching staff in front office around him?

1104
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: Most of the US Bear fans are excited about the future,

1105
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: but what are people around the league saying about him?

1106
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I haven't really asked anybody about Justin

1107
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: Fields lately. Once you start sucking, I just don't really

1108
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,240
Speaker 1: pay attention to you until maybe the off season. I

1109
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I've said I've watched a lot

1110
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: of Justin Fields the last month. But if you've listened

1111
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: to me for longer than just the season, you know

1112
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: I loved him coming out in the draft. Now a

1113
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: huge part of being a top five quarterback. He has

1114
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: the physical attributes right, the size, the strength, the arm,

1115
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: ability to make every throw. His his ability to run

1116
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: is special. But he's They're gonna have to get some

1117
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: better talent around him, right. Allen Robinson's a free agent,

1118
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna be gone. They don't have any wide receivers.

1119
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: I guess they have the one young speed guy, but

1120
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: they need some talent outside. Uh. Their running backs actually

1121
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: pretty good. The young tight end from Notre Dame not

1122
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: bad to me. They need and their offensive line is atrocious.

1123
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: So before we get to the wide receivers, they need

1124
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: to do a better job protecting them. But to acquire

1125
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, they use the first round pick. Right, so

1126
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: the Giants have their first round. They do not have

1127
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: a first round pick, but because they suck, so much,

1128
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna draft high in the second and third round,

1129
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: so they need to at an offensive coach. They need

1130
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: to improve the talent around him, and they need to

1131
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: improve their offensive line. So before we talk about him

1132
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: as the top five quarterback, they just need to improve

1133
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: his surroundings so he can just become like a borderline

1134
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl guy. And that to me feels a long

1135
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 1: way away. You just let's let's like kind of walk

1136
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: before we run again. I'm a Fields fan. If if

1137
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: I was running the forty nine, I would have taken

1138
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: him three. My question is about the Cards. It was

1139
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: just a few short weeks ago where everyone had Arizona's

1140
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: the best team in the league. Now, after a loss

1141
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: to L. A. Murray not looking quite right, the news

1142
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: Hopkins is out for the season. The new feeling is

1143
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: their chances to make a runner over. Do you agree

1144
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: or or I think it's a wild overreaction. Well, the

1145
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals haters are gonna think I'm gonna come in and

1146
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: bury them. I still think they can go two and

1147
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: two down the stretch and they would be, you know,

1148
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: twelve and five, and that they would probably win the

1149
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: NFC West and potentially depending on what happens with Dallas

1150
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: be the three seed if they're missing Hopkins and like

1151
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: it's hard, like the one problem I have. And I

1152
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: tweeted this about Bryce Young, who I know has a

1153
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: podcast for the volume. I'm a huge Bryce Young fan.

1154
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: He is a He's the best quarterback Sabans ever have

1155
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: by far. He's like Mac accurate two. I was accurate too,

1156
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: but he's mobile. Liked Sean He's awesome. He's awesome. He

1157
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: wins undred ninety pounds. Right. So, Kyler Murray, it's just

1158
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: small and part of why we ding people like your

1159
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: height isn't make or break. But you watch Justin Field

1160
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: and Patrick mahomes night like they can see most things.

1161
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: Kyler's tiny and he's not that big now. Luckily he

1162
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: is so fast it's really hard to catch him. But

1163
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: when he does get caught sometimes it feels like he's

1164
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of breaks down as the season goes on. And

1165
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: I thought those Pixie through on Monday Night were the

1166
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: one was terrible in the red zone, but the other

1167
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: play that Floyd made was a great defensive play. But

1168
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: if that's Justin Herbert is easier for him to lob

1169
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: it over when he's six ft five. Kyler's five ft nine,

1170
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: So I their team, they have a lot of talent,

1171
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: their defense is solid. But to think that a guy that's,

1172
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: let's face it, never won a huge game in Kingsbury

1173
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: and Kyler just an undersized guy who just kind of

1174
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: wears down, is some lock to win a playoff game.

1175
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case now. Hopkins a huge

1176
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: loss for them, But aj Green has been good. Ars

1177
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: helps you know. They're running backs are solid, and if

1178
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: Kyler is healthy, they can beat anyone because he is

1179
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: a spectacular talent. And for as much as I quote

1180
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: unquote hate on Cliffs offense, I do enjoy like I

1181
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: think he has a good field for play calling. Now

1182
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: part of it is hard to totally tell sometimes because uh,

1183
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, Kyler kind of pulls it out of his butt.

1184
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: With Urban being fired, what would be the best step

1185
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville to sign a first time head coach with

1186
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: an offensive mindset like Dable or more or will we

1187
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: see them go with a defensive head coach like Todd

1188
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: Bowles so there's less of a chance of fit for failure.

1189
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear you have Trevor freaking Lawrence

1190
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 1: interview A bunch of offensive guys and hire the one

1191
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: you think is the best. You have to get an

1192
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: offensive guy for Trevor Lawrence. To me, that's the number

1193
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: one key. Find an offensive guy for Trevor Lawrence and

1194
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: sign him. Whether that's Doug Peterson, whether that's Byron left Which,

1195
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: whether that's Kellen Moore, whether it's Brian Dable, I'd be

1196
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: interviewing them all, Eric b Enemy, you name it. They

1197
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: interviewed Eric bi Ennemy last year. So are they all

1198
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden gonna like him? Are they gonna keep

1199
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: Trent Balky? And I think, listen, Trent Balky is an

1200
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: acquired taste. I've said this before in my interactions with

1201
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: him over the year. He was always cool to me.

1202
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people hate him. I'm talking

1203
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: despise the guy again. I can go off how you

1204
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: interact with me, and he was cool. But people I

1205
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: know do not like him. I actually don't think he's

1206
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: bad of a GM as the way people talk about him.

1207
00:59:58,720 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: But does he get to say on as the g

1208
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: AM We'll see he did, and he once upon a

1209
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: time hired Harbaugh had some good drafts and they won.

1210
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Do you think Dallas learned anything from losing Sean Payton

1211
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: back when he was no CE. What can they apply

1212
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: to Kellen Moore. Would they consider moving on from McCarthy

1213
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: in order to keep him. I don't think so. I

1214
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: think Jerry's proven at you know, when he was younger,

1215
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: he's loyal, and now he's almost eighty. He's gonna fire McCarthy. Now.

1216
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: Maybe if McCarthy, you know, first round playoff loss to

1217
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: like the Vikings or something, or the forty Niners, maybe

1218
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: you think about it to keep Kellen Moore. But the

1219
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: offense hasn't looked great, you know. And I heard Jerry

1220
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: an interview clip. He wasn't really singing the offensive praises.

1221
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's too happy. You know. I'm

1222
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: a Broncos fan who, like the rest of us, has

1223
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: watched the team spiral and mediocracy. This year has had

1224
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: its glimmers of hope. But I'm curious whether or not

1225
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: you think it's pointless. Why try to win with Teddy

1226
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: if it's not your long term option and there's no

1227
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: clear successor in sight. If you were to sit in

1228
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: George Payton's chair this office season, what would you do?

1229
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: We obviously have talent on defense, at receiver, running back,

1230
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: and even some hope for a line. But how do

1231
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: we get a real quarterback? I feel like the season

1232
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: is making everyone delusional and we're staring down the barrel

1233
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: at plus or minus of five seasons. I think anytime

1234
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: you have the chance to make the playoffs, you always

1235
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: try to make the playoffs. Plus, there are no good

1236
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this draft, so you're probably whether you draft

1237
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: fourteen or twenty. I would much rather draft twenty or

1238
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty one or whatever and make the seventh seed. That's

1239
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: a big deal, you know, it really is. And I

1240
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: think before you get to a quarterback, like, what are

1241
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 1: you gonna do with your coach? Are you gonna extend

1242
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Vic Fangire? You're gonna fire him if he missed the playoffs?

1243
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: As he fired? Because then before we can talk quarterback,

1244
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: we gotta pick a coach. Who's George Payton gonna pick

1245
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: as his coach? I I think you have to ask

1246
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: answer that question first. Obviously, there's gonna be a lot

1247
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: of talk about Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. I maybe

1248
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: maybe Russell Wilson demands a trade. I have a hard

1249
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: time unless the Packers have a crazy loss seeing Aaron

1250
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers leave. But I've been saying that for six months.

1251
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm nuts. I don't pretend to know the guy,

1252
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: but you're gonna leave Matla Floor and Davante Adams for

1253
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Who's our coach? Seems seems nuts to me? Man,

1254
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: it really does. I get some you. You'd be surprised

1255
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: some of my d m is. Occasionally they have a

1256
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: blue checkmark. I don't want out this guy, but he's,

1257
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, pretty famous actor. Got a got a couple

1258
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: of famous actors that are listeners to the podcast. I'd

1259
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: be lying if I said it wasn't kind of cool,

1260
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: he said. I already answered the question. I was cursed

1261
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: with being a die hard Cowboys fan from birth almost forty.

1262
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm a realist, not a blind cheerleader. Though. What is

1263
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: your opinions of the Cowboys offensive problems as a whole?

1264
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: After Sunday listen. I don't pretend to be Bill Walsh

1265
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: when it comes to quarterback, Dak looks off to me.

1266
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean the picky through in the fourth quarter hit

1267
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: the guy in stride. That was he doing a couple

1268
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: of balls in that game? He just overthrew he had

1269
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: so much early the season. Rhythm now, granted everyone was healthy.

1270
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Even when Gallup went out, Wilson jumped right in c

1271
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: D and Mari. Maybe it's just as simple. And I

1272
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: don't Colin harps on this all the time about the

1273
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: running game. He's very dependent on the running game. Now,

1274
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Zeke's kind of banged up. Pauler's got planned or fasciitis.

1275
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I don't even a shot, just

1276
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: numbs it, but then it gets worse after the game.

1277
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just that simple. He's just he's a really

1278
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: good player when everything is perfect. And early on the

1279
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: season everything was perfect, right. Their offensive line was playing well,

1280
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: their receivers were out of this world, and the running

1281
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: games were good, and obviously Parsons, it's weird things have

1282
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: flipped and then Dick started making plays. Parsons started making plays,

1283
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: kind of balanced them out, and you could argue sometimes

1284
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: it's better to be balanced. Look at Tampa Bay, like,

1285
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: they can run the ball, they can pass the ball

1286
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: with Tom, they can play defense. You gotta be able

1287
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: to do everything ultimately win. So my I don't know,

1288
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: he just looks off. I don't really know why. I

1289
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: can't tell you, like, you know, his right leg a

1290
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: little too bad, or his arm motion. He looks like

1291
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: a normal back to me, you know, just moving around,

1292
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: but then when the ball comes out of his and

1293
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: it's all over the map. Two questions for you, would you,

1294
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: being part of the Eagles organization for some years and

1295
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: knowing Howie and Jeffrey Lury, how do you think they're

1296
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna go run heavy offense, especially with rumors that they

1297
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: sat dug down after the Green Bay game to talk

1298
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: about how much they ran the ball. Two? What do

1299
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: you think how He is gonna do with the three

1300
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: first round picks? Go defense, heavy linebacker? Maybe once again? Uh,

1301
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: maybe once again. Let the pot fly will fly. I

1302
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: don't know Jeffrey Lurry, but I just think they have

1303
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: a fundamental belief for passing wins in the league. But

1304
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: if your quarterback struggles at passing like Jalen Hurts did

1305
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: and he can run and you've got good running backs,

1306
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: run the ball like Ultimately, you're just trying to win

1307
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: games with who you have. And if you had Donovanc

1308
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: nabb Er, Michael Vick or Carson Wentz, it makes sense

1309
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: to throw the ball right, But when you have a

1310
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: quarterback who struggles a throw, don't throw Look at Gardner Minshew,

1311
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: he could throw a little bit more. And the game

1312
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: against Jess they were letting a rip. Uh. I think

1313
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: how he's gonna try to get a quarterback. Whether that's

1314
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, Deshaun Watson will have to see what happens

1315
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: in that situation. I think he's definitely gonna sniff around

1316
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 1: on Russell Wilson. We loved Russell Wilson ten years ago.

1317
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: They will try to get Russell Wilson if he's available,

1318
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: and then I think they'd be sniffing around if Derek

1319
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: Carr was available. He'll bill do whatever it takes to

1320
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: upgrade the quarterback position because it's pretty clear their team

1321
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: is not bad. And there you know, I know what.

1322
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: The football team has a million COVID guys, but the

1323
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Eagles are a big favorite. Question for the bag of

1324
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: the five dumpster fire teams Lions, Texans, Jack's, Jets, and Giants,

1325
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: which ones in the group would you put money on

1326
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: to make the postseason in twenty three Lions, no Texans,

1327
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: no Jack, I mean none, zero chance. Assuming Deshann Watson

1328
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: either leaves the Texans or ends up in jail. The Lions, Giants,

1329
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: and Texans have no quarterback. I like Trevor Lawrence Moreton

1330
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, but I don't see a positive outcome in

1331
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Urban at the helm. I think the Jets are better

1332
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: position with the best draft capital. Joe Douglas is probably

1333
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing Zach Wilson make the playoffs.

1334
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: You watch that guy, like I got I got news

1335
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: for you. Talking to people around the league. They think

1336
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: he sucks. They think Zack Wilson sucks. Now you gotta

1337
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: put it in context as team's awful. His offensive line

1338
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: has been banged up. But when you watch him now,

1339
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: he's not like he's not physically gifted. He can move,

1340
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: he's got an explosive arm, but he is not a

1341
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: good player. Now, I don't care if you put Mahomes

1342
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: on their team. They're not making the playoffs. But like

1343
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: you could tell, like this guy know what's going on,

1344
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: and it might be his offensive coordinator, young guy Laflour's

1345
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: brother over his head. I don't know, but he looks terrible,

1346
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, legitimately bad. I couldn't put any of those teams,

1347
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: I honestly don't. The Jags maybe if they could. Just

1348
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: something happened Tanny Hill got hurt and they went like

1349
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: nine and eight and they got a wild card. That

1350
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: would still seems pretty crazy to say it out loud.

1351
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Why do I keep seeing part where turners catch the

1352
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: ball went inside the tent and even the five yard line? Thought,

1353
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: you stand on the tan if over your head, let

1354
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: it go? Please? Are you related to Dr Evil? Just kidding? No,

1355
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm just ball just follically challenged. Don't have any here, uh.

1356
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,439
Speaker 1: I think there are certain rules special teams coaches have.

1357
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: Obviously you don't want the ball, you know. I think

1358
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: on a on a punt that's probably traveling like sixty

1359
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: yards in the air, it's gonna be hard for the

1360
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: guy to put the juice on it to stop. But

1361
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: sometimes when they're at like the fifty yard line, haven't

1362
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: been at you know. I used to help out with

1363
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: special teams when I was with the Eagles, helping them

1364
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: chart and stuff. These guys really work on their ability

1365
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: to kind of do like the you know, the top

1366
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: over and punt that if it hits the right way, stops.

1367
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: So if I'm at like, you know, fifty to fifty

1368
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: five yards out, I can angle the punt, and if

1369
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: I landed in that ten to five zone, there's a

1370
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: decent chance that it's gonna, you know, potentially landed like

1371
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: the one or two. Now, every special team's coach has

1372
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,479
Speaker 1: different rules him. I think of the seven yard line.

1373
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I wouldn't catch it on the five

1374
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: yard line. Seven eight yard line would probably be my

1375
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: max um. But listen, I funked around a little bit,

1376
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: probably more at Fresno State that I never did in

1377
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: the NFL. Try to catch punts from our punter who

1378
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, Andrew Shapiro. He got a training camp, it

1379
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: is I can't. I have not. It is so hard.

1380
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 1: I I don't think people quite understand, and I think

1381
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: we all do realize how difficult the craft is of

1382
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: standing and catching a punt that is, who knows how

1383
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: high in the air, with two dudes running four fours

1384
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: and four threes flying down the sideline ready to hit

1385
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: your sternum or break your rib cage while the ball

1386
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: while you're not looking at them, and you're looking in

1387
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: the air as the ball is spinning in a weird way. Um,

1388
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: it's tough. I mean it's hard for me. I never

1389
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: get that mad at muff punts because I just know,

1390
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: not that I've ever on it in a game, but

1391
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I I do respect and understand how crazy it is

1392
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 1: against this punts. Any updates on the Shawn Watson How

1393
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,440
Speaker 1: do you think Houston will attempt to move him this offseason? No? None,

1394
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: who knows hell of a question. I don't think anybody knows.

1395
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: We're just gonna have to wait till whenever his case happens,

1396
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: which you know doesn't feel like the the judicial systems

1397
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: in any rush. I'm a Broncos fan. I'm tired of

1398
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: being in a quarterbaar quarterback purgatory. You guys, you know

1399
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: you guys got spoiled, right, You guys got spoiled. You

1400
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: had alway then you were good in the two thousands

1401
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: with Shanahan. Uh, then you got you know, Peyton Manning.

1402
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: You guys are okay. You got a good nucleus of players,

1403
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: You're in position, you're gonna be active looking for quarterbacks.

1404
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I would not want to watch Teddy Bridgewater every week,

1405
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: So I do understand your pain. But ultimately, like honestly,

1406
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 1: and even your coach, who's like a borderline NFL head coach,

1407
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: he's not a joke. So you guys are more than

1408
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: service of Bowl with the guy that everyone around the

1409
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: NFL really respects Uh. The Drew Lock things over Aaron

1410
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers is not happening. And I don't know if Russell

1411
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Wilson would want to play in the cold. I mean,

1412
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: Aaron Russell Wilson plays in the cold. Now. I love Watson,

1413
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 1: but who knows what's gonna happen. I just you know,

1414
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: if this is a low moment for you guys, you

1415
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: guys got it pretty good, right like I've as someone

1416
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: who's watched the Raiders for the last decade, Mike, come

1417
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: on that they're jealousy. You're low moments. I promise you,

1418
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: I promise you. Okay, last question, As a sad lifelong

1419
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: Raiders fan, I have two questions. Who is the best

1420
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: option for us as a head coach. I would think

1421
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: either Harbaugh or Tomlin if he's available, because he seems

1422
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: pretty fed up with his team's BS. I think he

1423
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: means Jim Harbor and obviously Mike. I'm pretty sure we

1424
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: will end up with Dabbo because Mark is a moron.

1425
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: And for Derek Carr, what do you think the move is?

1426
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Trade him for picks and draft a quarterback, trade him

1427
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: for another quarterback like the Rams and Lions that left season.

1428
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: The only option I see for that is Russell Wilson,

1429
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. The Raiders have had Rich Pascatchia, Uh, John Gruden,

1430
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio, Tony Soprano, Dennis Allen. They've had five

1431
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: head coaches in like eight years. They desperately need to

1432
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: find a way to just find some stability. And I

1433
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: do think that Dabbo is going to be in the mix.

1434
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 1: I was watching this thing where Derek Carr says Dabbo

1435
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: calls him a lot, and it makes sense. The Raiders

1436
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: have a ton of Clemson players, and I would guess

1437
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: that Hunter Renfro is one of Dabbo's favorite players of

1438
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: all time. Dabbles a former walk on wide receiver. Well, Derek,

1439
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: like Dabbo, is very religious, very religious, so is Dabbo,

1440
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: and there Derek being around him. I mean, the guy

1441
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 1: loves football. He that's why him and coaches get along,

1442
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 1: because he's a football junkie. I don't think it's crazy

1443
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,600
Speaker 1: if Dabbos Tweeney takes a Raiders job, which would be

1444
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: a bold move, but I would say this is the

1445
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: difference between Dabbo and Urban that was a good guy.

1446
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: People like playing at Clemson. People enjoy Dabbo Sweeney, people

1447
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: like working with Dabbo Sweeney. Urban's a dick. Dabbo is not. Now,

1448
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: would Dabbo be over his head? Maybe? Is he made

1449
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: for the NFL? I would lean no, but I think

1450
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: that that thing is going to gain some speed. Now

1451
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I would go with an NFL guy. Doug Peterson won

1452
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, coach in Philly, been around the NFL

1453
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: for thirty years. He's just a normal, stable human. I

1454
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: would think about doing something like that. You know, an

1455
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: ideal guy type would be for like a Ron Rivera

1456
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: like that type guy. Why would Mike Tomlin leave the

1457
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: rate Steelers Just doesn't make any sense to me. And

1458
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I've seen other people say this, and

1459
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: I think Raid fans in the back of their mind,

1460
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: because let's face it, if you're a die hard Rater

1461
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: fan Mike Tomlin, you feel seen watching him. You're like,

1462
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: this guy belongs in silver and black. But it's like

1463
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: he coach for the Steelers. He's never had a record

1464
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: under eight and eight. The Raiders have made the playoffs

1465
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: one time in twenty years. Toma goes the playoffs every year. Uh.

1466
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. I also think like I would take Jim

1467
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Harball over Dabbo Sweeney because I think you'd be better off,

1468
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: You'd have a chance to win. The problem is Jim's

1469
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: crazy too. He's not like Jon Gruden Urban Meyer crazy,

1470
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: but he's kind of crazy. So if Jim Harball want

1471
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to take the job, Derek would stay. If Dabbo takes

1472
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: the job, Derek would stay. Some of these other guys

1473
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: who knows, but who you know? Unless you're trading Derek

1474
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson. Who are you trading them for? Who's

1475
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: gonna play quarterback for you? That's what I keep saying

1476
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson. Your trade Russell Wilson, Who's gonna play

1477
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: quarterback for Seattle Seahawks. If I'm John Snyder and I

1478
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: don't get fired, and Russell Wilson's like I want to

1479
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: get traded, Like, okay, well, I'll see what I can

1480
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: get for you. And everyone's gonna be offering these picks

1481
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: and these picks and these linebackers and wide receivers, like, well,

1482
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback for me? I get paid to build

1483
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: a football team and the number one position is quarterback,

1484
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: and now I don't have one. I have seven first

1485
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: rounders from the Eagles. Well, I don't want to draft

1486
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. Now, if I'm John Sneinder and I love

1487
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett or something, maybe, But if I don't, like,

1488
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm just trading the greatest player I'll ever draft for

1489
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: four first round picks. Like, think about this. Let's just

1490
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: use Aaron Rodgers five years ago. Can you imagine if

1491
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: the Packers would have traded him for five first round picks?

1492
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Do you know who would have won the team that

1493
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: got Aaron fucking Rogers? Now, Aaron Rodgers a better player

1494
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: than Russell Wilson, but still, I mean, Russell's pretty damn good.

1495
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I just I would just probably

1496
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: keep Derek. But he's a free He's gonna be a

1497
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 1: free agent after next year. Are you gonna give him

1498
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year? I couldn't do that, but

1499
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: Derek loves the Raiders. Maybe he'll play what he signed

1500
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: like a five year deal for a d five million

1501
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 1: dollars every penny guaranteed. Would Mark Davis do that? Because

1502
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Mark Davis have a hundred million dollars in his back pocket.

1503
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't know complicated issues with the Raiders, and I'm

1504
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: sorry it's been it's been a long twenty years for
