1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: The volume What Is Up Everybody? John Middlecop three and

2
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Out podcast back at it again recording. I was planning

3
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: on doing this like an hour ago when the score

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: was forty two to a to a little and then

5
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: somehow Josh Johnson, one of the truly great wikipedia uh

6
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: football careers you'll ever see, just kept throwing the pill

7
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: around and uh, he just threw a pick. It's forty

8
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: five to thirty. Obviously the game wasn't that close. But

9
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, something really stood out to me and and

10
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: it clicked with me tonight and it made me think

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: I'll dive in a little about the cold say, I

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're quite dead yet. God, that Tennessee game

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: last week hurts. Uh, the Aaron Rodgers drama and really

14
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: the or the the Packers have a lot on the

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: line this weekend. With old Jordan's love, he could increase

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: that that little thing we like to call trade value.

17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: The Raiders. You know, it's just what a week. You know,

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: what a week for Derek Carr the franchise. Obviously, the

19
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: tragedy that took place with a young woman losing her

20
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: life is beyond terrible. Couple thoughts on the Browns and

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, like, what the hell is going on there?

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: And then of course Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff.

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Is the Instagram slide up in those d m s

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: and get your question answered here on the show. That's

25
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: my Instagram slide in the d ms. Easy. Also, if

26
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: you could leave a review for the podcast three and

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: out subscribe, tell your friends. I appreciate it. But I

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: want to start with with Quarterback Play and the New

29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: York Football Jets. And it hit me tonight like you

30
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: really find out And people have talked about this before.

31
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: This isn't like some novel concept. Here someone's value when

32
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: they leave, right what we saw it last year Tom

33
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Brady left and we're like, God, he left an enormous hole.

34
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: But I think you can look at it in a

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: lot of industries, right. I remember a decade ago, I

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: listened all day long to ESPN Radio. I couldn't even

37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: tell you what channel or where to find ESPN Radio.

38
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: How do you think they've done since old uh Colin

39
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Coward left five six years ago? I don't know, slipped

40
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: into irrelevancy hasn't gone well. And you can learn the

41
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: value of someone in the private sector. Hell, you can

42
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: learn a value of you know, a parent, you get divorced,

43
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: and maybe the rock of the family you spend more time.

44
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: We all know people that go back and forth between homes.

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: One home is a little more buttoned up typically right. Hell,

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: you see it with substitute teachers when the real teacher left.

47
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: We all know this from great cool. It becomes a joke.

48
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: If the substitute doesn't know what they're doing. You're like, God,

49
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: miss Johnson is not here for the week. It's on

50
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong to screw around and Zach Wilson. Last week,

51
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Mike White didn't just look fantastic. He led the Jets

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: to a very impressive win against a very good team.

53
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: And tonight he leads one drive and he looks fantastic.

54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: He's got a big arm, he looks big. He just

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: looks like a real NFL quarterback. Hell, then Josh Johnson

56
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: comes in and I know it was somewhat garbage time,

57
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: even though there was a lot of time left on

58
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: the clock, but they moved the ball. I've watched Zach

59
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: Wilson struggle over and over and over, and then I

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: got to thinking, I went, well is b y u

61
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and shambles. Well, I watched the College Football BCS release show.

62
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: They were ranked fifteen. They just scored sixty six points

63
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: last week against a good Virginia team. Their offense is awesome.

64
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: They have not skipped a beat without him. And I

65
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: think about another quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, who was going through

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: some ups and downs right now in the in the pros.

67
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Just left a program that was a bohemoth, a powerhouse.

68
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: How's Clemson doing? They suck? Their program is in shambles. Honestly,

69
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: they're lucky to be whatever they are, like five and three.

70
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: I've watched him play several wins. They easily could have

71
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: lost the games I've been watching. They are not good.

72
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: The lost Trevor Lawrence. And I'm thinking today like Zach Wilson,

73
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not trying to write his career in

74
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: half a season, but he has been, by every metric,

75
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: terrible this season, absolutely awful. And for the Jets franchise

76
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: to be anything, they have to fix them. They have

77
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: to make him an impact player. Not that you know,

78
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: it's clearer like that's not that's some hot take or whatever.

79
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: That's just the price of admission. When you draft a

80
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: guy that high. I think the glaring thing though, is

81
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: when these other guys come in and the offense roles

82
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: and then but I just go back to B y U.

83
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: It's like, well, at a smaller program, you know Clemson,

84
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: they went from Deshaun Watson to Trevor Lawrence, like good

85
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: programs can get hell justin fields to the kid now

86
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: c J. Strout who's putting up big numbers. But I

87
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: watched Yu, I go smaller program just goes to another guy.

88
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: Thats just no problem. And then you think about Zack Wilson.

89
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: He always looks and plays like it's backyard football. Like, bro,

90
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: you're not playing New Mexico. This is Bill Belichick or

91
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And Sean McDermott. You gotta figure it out.

92
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: And I watched Mike White. I see a guy that's

93
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: just more of a season pro, more of just a

94
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: guy that, hey, I can take a checkdown. Hey I

95
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: don't have to be a hero and listen, you go

96
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: through growing pains. But this kid's got a long way

97
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: to go. And I know, if I'm Joe Douglas the

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: general manager, if I'm Robert Sala, we got to spend

99
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: every waking moment. Clearly the defense, They've got a lot

100
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: of things to improved, but our careers are gonna be

101
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: staked to this kid, and it's it's concerning right now.

102
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: And I think you find the concerns when you see

103
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: these other guys fill in for him. Hell Josh Johnson,

104
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: who has been on seven hundred teams, who was the

105
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: number one pick in the a F Draft, who played

106
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: it once upon a time for the Sacramento Mountain Lions.

107
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: I bet you can't even name what league they were in,

108
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: because I know I can't. And my when I was

109
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I scouted that. I think it was

110
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: the UFL. Tyler Klutze was in it played fullback Andrew Sendejo.

111
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: I begged Lewis Riddick to sign him. He wouldn't take

112
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: him to Howie Um, I should have been more voiceful then.

113
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: That was a good fine by me, even though I

114
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: get no credit, but I would just I've read flagged

115
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: the whole Zack Wilson thing moving. I mean, they just

116
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: signed John Beck in the middle of the seat. Who

117
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, lebron He just gets to sign his personal

118
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: quarterback coaches? The hell is going on here? Uh, and

119
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: then the Colts, and I just they clearly you have

120
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: a team when they're healthy who could be an a

121
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: f C playoff team, But they might have put it

122
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: themselves in the whole way too early. That lost to

123
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee last weekend was devastating. They're up fourteen nothing. Hell,

124
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: they get the ball late in overtime and he throws

125
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the pick like that. If they would have won that game,

126
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: and right now you know that they would just they'd

127
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: be over five hundred and they'd have a shot. But I,

128
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like this season will look

129
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: back and go it will be the season that could

130
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: have been, what would have been when they're nine and

131
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: eight and they missed the playoffs. And I know people

132
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: of d m ME, I guess in Indianapolis they've talked

133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: about should they bench Carson Wentz so they get the

134
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: first round pick? No, because you should compete to try

135
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: to win nine or ten games. Now, are you gonna

136
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: lose your first round pick because Carson is gonna play

137
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: the games. That was part of the deal when you

138
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: signed them. And who knows You're gonna just be in

139
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: the playoff mix if you're a nine ish win team

140
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: right up until the end. So you have no choice.

141
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Now if he gets injured and he missed a couple

142
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: of games and you're clearly out of it. But if

143
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: he just keeps playing, you gotta play through it because

144
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be your quarterback next year. So you need

145
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: him to get these reps. You need him if you're

146
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna make these playoffs even next year. You need him

147
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: this I I talked to UH an executive this week

148
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: on the phone. There are no quarterbacks in this class. Hell,

149
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: the one quarterback he mentioned, I'm not gonna do it

150
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: right now because uh, he said, he's kind of a sleeper.

151
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: He's never heard his name mentioned now. He's an underclassman,

152
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: but technically come out, but he's not. He's like, he

153
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: might be the best guy I saw, and no one's

154
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: even mentioned this guy. All the other guys we talked

155
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,119
Speaker 1: about Malik whatever at Liberty. He thoughts a major project.

156
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: Corral is tiny. Uh. You know Carson Strong, the quarterback

157
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: from Nevada, I guess you know, got some medical red flags.

158
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: Who's talented player. But there are no like top fifteen

159
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: type quarterbacks in this draft. They're just aren't. Now that

160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: doesn't mean guys won't end up going in that spot.

161
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: But Carson Wentz is gonna be your guy for the

162
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: next two years. And listen, he's flawed. He can play

163
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: hero ball. Uh, you know, he's got some injury concerns,

164
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: but they ain't upgrading that. They're not like one thing

165
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: we've seen this year, like he's a much better player

166
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: when he's not in his own head. Then Jalen Hurts.

167
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts can't hold his jock as a quarterback. He can't.

168
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: I think we all agree on that. That doesn't mean

169
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Carson's perfect, means he's got some issues. And listen, the

170
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: Eagles had to move on from it was over. It

171
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: was it was time for a divorce. But he's the

172
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Colts quarterback for the next couple of years. And ideally,

173
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: if you go god, we might be able to keep

174
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: this guy for five years. That enables you to do

175
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of other things. So I listen, maybe I

176
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: make man excuse not like I mean, I don't even

177
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: know Chris Ballard. I've never met the guy, but I

178
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: think he's pretty good. I think Frank solid and uh,

179
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: they got some good core young pieces. But if they

180
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs, I think it'll be hard for them

181
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: to shake. That's that Tennessee game in Indie like that,

182
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: that they had to have that one, and it does

183
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: kind of feel like they're gonna miss it by by

184
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: a game, and it's be like, yeah, you blew that one,

185
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: especially with Henry and the foot. It's just it's the

186
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: way the cookie crumble some years. Okay, we got drama

187
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: of bruin with the Green Bay Packers, and I was

188
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna say Vince Lombardi, but he's long gone. Matt Lafleur goudakins, Uh.

189
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: If you're coming to think I'm gonna get on my

190
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: moral high horse. Most of the media has that market cornered.

191
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: I it's not no one wants to hear. Hell. I

192
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: I despise talking about COVID at this point in time.

193
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: I would rather swan dive off the Bay Bridge then

194
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: talk down to people again. The media has that market cornered.

195
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: Bores me. It has zero impact on anyone. We're almost

196
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: in two thousand twenty two. Every one's opinions are already set.

197
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: Now did he lie or not about getting that vaccinated? Again?

198
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: I I don't care. I truly do not give a

199
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: shit what Aaron Rodgers says, or does, it doesn't impact

200
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: my life at all. Now, if you're a Packer fan,

201
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: I could understand being that ad him because he might

202
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: cost you a game. But let's call it what it is.

203
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: You're mad because costing you a game, not because you

204
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: know whatever you believe about vaccination. And I've said before,

205
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: I got the damn JAB. I did it for business reasons,

206
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: and if I was in the NFL, just like the

207
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: majority of guys don't get it twisted. The majority of

208
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: these guys in the league got it for financial reasons,

209
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: not because they were concerned about it. And I remember

210
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: talking to Colin about it a long time ago that

211
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: these younger people were hesitant to get it and didn't

212
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: quite understand. And listen, it's almost two thousand twenty two.

213
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers test positive and is out at minimum

214
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: this week. We'll see how long it goes. It could

215
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: be a couple of games. And I've been saying over

216
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: and over it's a little bizarre the way it all happened. Uh, Like,

217
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: listen the moment Tom Brady and Nick Saban got the shot,

218
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: like everyone within college football and everyone within pro football,

219
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna get some ship if he didn't get it, period,

220
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. And Aaron Rodgers didn't get it,

221
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: and now he's missing a game. But like getting mad

222
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: about masks, I don't care. I mean, I just simply

223
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: do not care. Whatever they get in trouble for or

224
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: not in trouble for, it doesn't matter to me what iota.

225
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: And let's face it, most of the media freaking out

226
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: about it, they actually don't care either. It's called fake outrage.

227
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: We've we've seen it on social media for a long

228
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,239
Speaker 1: time now. But the drama that the Packers had for

229
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: for the entire offseason, which had nothing to do with

230
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: vaccines or COVID protocol, it was Aaron Rodgers feelings. And

231
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: he is a drama queen. Like, let's just call u

232
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: spade a spade. He you know, he creates drama somewhat

233
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Was a little of it justified that

234
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: he wanted his boys on the team. Okay, it feels

235
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: like they fix it. And I've been pounding the table

236
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: for a long time that you know, Aaron Rodgers, he

237
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: ain't going anywhere. Like they're having success. There's seven and one.

238
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: They just had one of the best wins of his

239
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: career on the road, short week, missing guys, and everything's

240
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: going well. Him and Matt Lafloor are on the same page.

241
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: It is very productive. It doesn't get any better than this.

242
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: And while I don't think anything has changed in the

243
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: short term, whenever he comes back, the media is gonna

244
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: be coming through on their moral high horses and they're

245
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: gonna be lined up a mile long to drill him

246
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: and get and get angry at him, right, and who

247
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: knows how that goes, which that has nothing necessarily to

248
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: do with Guda Kins or La Floor. But is he

249
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna get in a weird space now because it feels

250
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: like he's been in the zen like space. They've been winning,

251
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: he's been crushing it, and now is this gonna create

252
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: drama back within the relationship? You ever been dating someone,

253
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: married to someone, you're getting a huge fight and then

254
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's rocky, right, but then you patch it

255
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: up and you move on. But let's face it, depending

256
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: on how big the fight was, it's always kind of

257
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: lingering and no different than this situation this summer. Even

258
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: though I think most people with common sense just see

259
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: the way they're acting you know, it's going pretty well,

260
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: but it's still kind of lingers, like, is he gonna

261
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: ask for a trade again? Is he? Is he gonna

262
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: demand more influenced in next year's free agency, in the draft,

263
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't get it, he's gonna he's gonna say,

264
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: trade me to the Broncos. No one truly knows. But

265
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: if even the packers are like hoping it's gonna go, well,

266
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: maybe they'll make him a long term contract extension. But

267
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: now if it comes out and you know, in the

268
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: floorios of the world are gonna pound the table. They

269
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: need to pay for their actions. They've been breaking protocols,

270
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: and listen, I don't blame them, Like, he's the most

271
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: important guy in the organization by a country mile. So

272
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: if they let him circumvent some of these protocols just

273
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: to take care of him, Listen, this is a big

274
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: boy business, this billion dollar business. Like what were they

275
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Kick him out of the building. You know,

276
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: let's let's be let's be real here. It's easy to

277
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: type on Twitter, oh my god, and then there's real

278
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: life and he's the reigning m v P and you're

279
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: kicking ass and taking names. But if they get a

280
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: huge fine. What happens when they keep getting peppered with

281
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: these questions? Do they does this create a rift? Even

282
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: though they had nothing to do with it. In a

283
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: perfect world, they would have loved him to get the jab.

284
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: So this just went away now just because Dante Adams

285
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: was vaccinated. He missed last week. You know, whether you

286
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: get paid or not. But again that effect that doesn't

287
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: impact me or you at all. But I do wonder

288
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: if they're just gonna be this lingering thing which was

289
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: already there now comes back into the forefront. And I

290
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: heard Colin on Thursday morning talking like, let's face it.

291
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Usually when adversity hit sometimes people point fingers. So do

292
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers support him? Which I think they will.

293
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: How he acts when he comes back and has to

294
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: face the media again, Uh, it could get you know, contentious.

295
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: It will because the media is gonna, you know, be

296
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: throwing jabs Adam and he'll probably jab back. And then

297
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: how that carries over back to the organization. I'll be

298
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: fascinated to see. No one will know, but I know this.

299
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: The next time Rogers talks, Uh, it's it's gonna have

300
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: a lot of eyeballs and I know that I will

301
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: be watching. But on the bright side, if you're the Packers,

302
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: is this rift originally, let's face it was created because

303
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: of this guy named Jordan's Love. He hated the draft pick,

304
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: even though at the time Rogers looked like it was

305
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: kind of trending down. They drafted him at the end

306
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: of the first round. We've never seen him playing beside

307
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: a really. I think like two preseason games even this

308
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: year in the preseason he got injured. Well, he gets

309
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: to play the Chiefs, which is a huge win for

310
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this weekend. Right, you don't have to face

311
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You get Jordan left. But what if Jordan

312
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Love is good and let's just say Rogers misses two games,

313
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: and let's say win or lose. If Jordan puts together

314
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: two good games, throws, you know, six touchdowns in the

315
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: next two weeks, looks good. With Davante Adams moving around,

316
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: looks like a legitimate quarterback, They're gonna have two options

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: for Rogers at the end of the year. This thing

318
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: is lingered. The rift comes back up, and he's like,

319
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: I demand a trade. You might feel good about your

320
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. You might go you know what, this sucks. Obviously,

321
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: we do not want to get rid of Rogers, but

322
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: he's you know, putting a stake in the ground. He

323
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: refuses to uh to be a team player, and he

324
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: wants to go. So there's you know, we're offering him

325
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty million dollars. He won't take it.

326
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do? You do have a

327
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: backup plan, which is probably the second thing you're rooting for. Ideally,

328
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: what happens he's sweet? Think how many teams need a quarterback?

329
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: The football team does not have a quarterback. The Denver

330
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: Broncos do not have a quarterback. The Houston Texans do

331
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: not have a quarterback. There are no quarterbacks in this

332
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: draft to eat Philadelphia Eagles. Might you know Jalen Hurts

333
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: he ain't the quarterback These teams are gonna what if

334
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: this guy's good? Could you just get like the Jimmy

335
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Garoppolo trade for could you trade him for a second

336
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: round pick? Then all of a sudden, you know, you

337
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: don't recoup recoup all of his value, but you're able

338
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: to flip him for something value and then pay Rogers

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: and move on to me. That is the best case Scenaria.

340
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: But he has to play well. And the way he's

341
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: looked at and this is how you look at it

342
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: when you're a scout is like if I'm evaluating a

343
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: college prospect, I evaluate you based on Like, if you're

344
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: in the SEC, I'm gonna watch you against Alabama and Georgia.

345
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: Those are the first two games I gonna watch. If

346
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: you're a free agent, I'm gonna watch you against the

347
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: best teams you've played on your schedule. Right, If you're

348
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: a defensive end, well, how have you played against the

349
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: best offenses you faced? Did you play the Rams, did

350
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: you play Arizona? Did you play Green Bay? You know,

351
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: did you play I'm trying to think in the a

352
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: f C. Baltimore, right, Cincinnati. If you're a corner, like I,

353
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: I evaluate you against the best competition. Well, the Chiefs

354
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: aren't good on defense, so he's gonna have to look good.

355
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 1: Like the bar is gonna be a little higher. If

356
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: he was playing, you know, the Buffalo Bills. If he

357
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: was just serviceable, you'd be like, this guy might be okay.

358
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: If he plays against the Chiefs and does not throw

359
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: for a couple of touchdowns, it's not gonna be good. Uh.

360
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: So there's a lot on the line big picture, regardless

361
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: of Rogers with Jordan's Love this weekend, and I think

362
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: if you're the Chiefs, like you just got kind of

363
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: thrown a bone. You don't have to face one of

364
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: the best players in the league, one of the best

365
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: teams in the league. You could argue the best team

366
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: in the league. Gett Davante Adams ready, he's back at practice.

367
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: So this kind of becomes must win the moment you

368
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: see Jordan's love. If you're the Chiefs. This week marks

369
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: the halfway point for the NFL season, and there's a

370
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: big Sunday afternoon matchup between the Packers and the Chiefs.

371
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Vanduel Sports Book is about to make that even bigger.

00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to Cleveland and Odell Beckham, And I think

399
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: we all know these people that it's just always something.

400
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: I've disassociated with a lot of those people as I've

401
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: gotten older. But like when I was young, like in

402
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: high school, everyone knew the guy that was just always

403
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: in trouble, could not avoid it no matter what he did.

404
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: It was like, oh my god. Same thing actually in

405
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: college too, It's like, are these guys just dumber? It's like, well,

406
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: now I do dumb things too. Why is he always

407
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: getting caught? Why is he always getting in trouble? You know,

408
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: and some people just you know, like if you're a

409
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: miserable older people, miserable people need company, right, Most happy,

410
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: positive people don't associate themselves with misery. Right, it sucks.

411
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: That's why. It's like why I always try to disassociate

412
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: myself with the media. It's like, God, these people are miserable,

413
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Like I feel bad for their significant others. Have to

414
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: sleep with these people every night. Just seems like misery.

415
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: But misery just kind of attracts other miserable people, and

416
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, dysfunctional people just kind of gravitate towards

417
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: those people, right, Jeff Bezoz ain't hanging out with a

418
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: lot of dysfunctional people, right, Tom Brady not doing it.

419
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean Nick Saban a lot of high level people

420
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: he's around. He losers, you know, people getting He's just

421
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't surround himself with those people. But for whatever reason,

422
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, you know, there's several organizations historically just

423
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: a track that right, and Cleveland can't shake it. Like

424
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: it's drip, drip, drip. This is like Cleveland Odell Beckham.

425
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: Let's face it, they're kind of made for each other.

426
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: We always act like Odell Beckham, he was a star,

427
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: kind of had a couple of moments for bad Giants

428
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: teams Like I I viewed Odell Beckham is kind of

429
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: a complainer. Uh, it's it's woe is me, It's someone

430
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: else's fault. Like now it's Odell Beckham. You kind of

431
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: are what you are now, Like you're well established, Like

432
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: you can't play the victim card. The ounds like you're

433
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: always in shambles. Besides last year for whatever reason, I

434
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, it's even your owner. A couple

435
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: of years ago it gets popped for cheating out the

436
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: truckers it's always something. It feels like these guys are

437
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: made for each other. But what I do not understand.

438
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: I I get where Odell Beckham throughout the bat signal

439
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: to the Lebron, got Lebron tweeting and Instagram and about him,

440
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: got his dad throwing out YouTube videos like that. That

441
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: feels part for the course for the Browns. But that

442
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that other teams actually value him. And the

443
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: problem was that you shot with the Von Miller trade.

444
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: Teams did not have any cap space because last year,

445
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: with the lost revenue, the salary cap came down. Well,

446
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: if I'm in a trade for a guy, let's just

447
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: pick an even number. Making ten million dollars on the season,

448
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: well halfway through the season, I then owe him five

449
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: million dollars the rest of the season. If I have

450
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: a total cap space going into the regular season of

451
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: three million dollars, I can't fit that three that five

452
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: million million dollars under my cap. So a guy like

453
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, they've made whatever, fifteen sixteen million dollars this year.

454
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Most teams do not have six seven million dollars in

455
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: cap space, so I couldn't even trade for him if

456
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to I don't understand why the Browns didn't

457
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: just eat the money and get rid of him for

458
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: like a six or seventh round pick, because to me,

459
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: that was his value around the league. Now, maybe there's

460
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: a chance that no one was gonna trade for him.

461
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: I do think that's very possible. He's he's a hass been.

462
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: He is no longer, uh you know, some dominant player.

463
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: Those days are in the past. And I know a

464
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: lot of people love holding onto the past. I like

465
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: looking forward and it's two thousand one, not two thousand seventeen.

466
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: He's he's just kind of a guy right now. And

467
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: when you're a smaller wide receiver who hung his hat

468
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: on speed and explosion, and you're not quite as explosive anymore,

469
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: and you're not just super try hard, you know, die

470
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: hard teammate, you know, it's like you get thrown kind

471
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: of to the side. But I don't understand why the

472
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Browns once they couldn't trade him, And let's face it,

473
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: they probably would have traded him at this point for

474
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: a bag of balls and ate some of the money. Now,

475
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: maybe there's a chance the owner doesn't want to eat

476
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: the money. I don't know. No one will know, really

477
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: beside the GM and the owner, But why not cut

478
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: him at this point? If you're gonna consistently just send

479
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: him home and not allow him to practice. I don't

480
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: get it. It doesn't make any sense to me. Like,

481
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: if he's playing whatever, you're not seeing eye to eye,

482
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: but you're just gonna play with it. I would go, Okay,

483
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: you know, it's just this is the big leagues. You're

484
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: paying him a lot of money. He can still be somewhat,

485
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, I guess productive. He's just a body for you.

486
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: But you now you're refusing to even let him participate.

487
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Just cut fucking bait. Well why do you want why

488
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: do you want this going on? I don't get he

489
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: hate your quarterback. Clearly the quarterback doesn't like him, the

490
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: head coach doesn't like him. I'm always told listen, I

491
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: think highly of Stefanski. I've never met. Actually, when I

492
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: was advanced scouting, I sat next to Andrew Barry one time.

493
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: It's probably like two thousand eleven, and I remember asking

494
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: someone when I got back about him, like, oh, he's

495
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: that IVY league. He's really smart. It's good, good young scout,

496
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: and clearly he has become a general manager they have,

497
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: they have an IVY League GM, they have an IVY

498
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: league coach. Why are they doing this? Like, if you

499
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: ever want to break out of the dysfunctional organizational category,

500
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: you can't do things like this that this, this can't happen.

501
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: Like remember the Steelers with Antonio Brown. It would like

502
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: they'd always be able to handle it. Then they hit

503
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: a tipping point in the offseason and he went away.

504
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: But in season, even when he like threw the ball

505
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: at Roethlisberger, they could just figure it out. But when

506
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: you're dysfunctional and you get other dysfunctional people around you,

507
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: let's face it, Baker is a little bit clearly, beckham

508
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: Is has a long history of it. It just kind

509
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: of permanate, permeates, permeates. I can't even say that word

510
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: throughout the building, right, It's just it's just kind of

511
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: everywhere and you can't stop it. It's like it's like

512
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: a it's like a leak that breaks into a flood.

513
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: And that the Steelers could handle it. New England handles it.

514
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: Good teams handle it, uh, but Cleveland can't. And right

515
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: now they have a problem. They have an shoot and

516
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: I just don't get why they're holding onto it, the

517
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: easy move, cut bait, move on and again. In defense

518
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: of Andrew Berry, maybe his owner is refusing him to

519
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: just refusing to let him pay Beckham to walk away.

520
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: But that's just that's just bad business. Uh. Obviously the

521
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: story coming out of Las Vegas this week is horrific.

522
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: Someone lost that you know, tragically was killed. Uh. And

523
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: a young woman and her dog lost her life. The

524
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: visuals of the burning car, Uh, you you're not human

525
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: if it doesn't hurt your heart. And you know, I

526
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: hate that. I I'm guilty of this because I didn't

527
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: want to, but I saw a TMZ tweet of Rugs

528
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: sitting on the corner, I I clicked on it and

529
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: him screaming and crying. It's just the whole thing, just

530
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: absolutely you know, two year old through his entire life away.

531
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: And I hear a lot like, oh, it's like Dante

532
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: Stalwarth only got thirty days. Henry Rugg is going to

533
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: jail for a long time. I'll promise you that this

534
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have that many parallels to Dante Stulworth. There wasn't

535
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: a lady that burned alive in a car blown up

536
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: with a guy going a hundred and fifty miles an

537
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: hour in a residential street. It ain't the same, uh,

538
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: And listen, the states are different. Vegas. He's in major,

539
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: major trouble. It's bye by Henry Ruggs life. You know,

540
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to say over because if you do

541
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: twenty years, by the time he gets out, he might

542
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: be forty or fifteen years. But it's his life is

543
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: ruined and it's self inflicted. He did this. But when

544
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: when you hear the story of Derek Carr telling he

545
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: was at Top Golf and texting him pictures of a

546
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: swing at eleven o'clock at night, and then three or

547
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: four hours later this happens, It's just again, you're not

548
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: a human if it doesn't create a motion inside you,

549
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: if you if you follow this sport. But I think, listen,

550
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: we we've all, maybe not some of you. If you

551
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: haven't lost a grandparent, a parent, a friend, uh you

552
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: know had you know, tragic things happen in your life.

553
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: But it's hard the older you get, Like once you

554
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: get to my age, it's basically inevitable that you're gonna

555
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: go through ship out of your control that is gonna

556
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: be just bad, horrific, you know, things are tragedies are

557
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and it's you eventually, like you learn, you know,

558
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: there's a obviously everyone grieves differently, but the sun comes

559
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: up the next day, like businesses keep going, you know,

560
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: you don't you you can stop, you can you know,

561
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: we all you handle things differently, but like life moves on.

562
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: And if you have certain jobs, like especially the quarterback

563
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: of a team, you know you still like Derek Carr,

564
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: I thought for the fiftieth time on Wednesday, to just

565
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: carry the Raiders franchise that you know, used to be

566
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot like the Cleveland Browns. And honestly, without Car,

567
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't think there would be that many differences between

568
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: the Browns the Lions. The dysfunction that just rings true, right,

569
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: And Derek has been the constant of just fashionalism. And

570
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: I would even just say credibility that the organization you know,

571
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: for basically the last couple of decades, just just without him,

572
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: they would not have And uh, you know, I do

573
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: think you get to a point where you know, you

574
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: learn this in like business school law of diminishing returns, right,

575
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: you can handle the like some tragedies or some things

576
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: that you know, rocks your world as a company, as

577
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: an individual, as a group, whatever you can almost you know, uh,

578
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: use it to gravitate toward each other and use it

579
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: as like a rallying cries the wrong word, but just

580
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: to come closer together. And I think the Raiders did

581
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: that without gruten right. They They've won the last two

582
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: games and played really well, I mean convincing, convincingly kicked

583
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: ass against the Broncos and Eagles. They looked fantastic. And

584
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: John Gruden was you could almost argue he was an

585
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: anchor on the franchise. It was not going well. Uh,

586
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: and without him it felt like almost you know, uh,

587
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: the elephant in the room of negativity and drama was

588
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: just removed. And that was before the emails. It was

589
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: just he was like a bigger than life caricature that

590
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: wasn't as good of a coach as he was famous.

591
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: And I thought, once he was removed, I'm like, damn,

592
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: these guys could just the a f C is wide open.

593
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Tennessee right now is the number one seed

594
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry is out for who knows how long

595
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: could be the entire season, right Uh. The Chiefs are

596
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: kind of in shambles. The Ravens just had that bad

597
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: loss to Cincinnati, like every the Pittsburgh Roethlisberger, he's old.

598
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: Patriots have a rookie quarterback, like the I don't think

599
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: the a f C in the last couple of decades

600
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: if it has ever been more open. But on on Monday,

601
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking, God, could the Raiders be the number

602
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: one seed? I do think you get to a point

603
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: where it's just hard to overcome this. Uh. You know, Derek,

604
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: I watched his prescott yesterday and he's like, you know,

605
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: I was walking through the locker room and I look

606
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: and I see Henry Ruggs locker and it just kind

607
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: of hits me, you know. And they have a unique group. Obviously,

608
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Derek has been with the Raiders for a long time.

609
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 1: He's seen it all. You have their best player on

610
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: the team is a recovered drug addict. One of the

611
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: great stories in the NFL who was like a beloved

612
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: teammate on that team in Darren Waller. And then their

613
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: defensive leader, you know, had to go to rehab for

614
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: alcoholism last year and he's cleaned up his life and

615
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: it's another great story who's become a great player in

616
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, so like that they actually for having. You know,

617
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: they have a team full of a lot of guys

618
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: with life experience, and I I do think you can

619
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: get together. But there's a human element to this that

620
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Gruden just did not bring to the table. You know.

621
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: Obviously a young woman lost her life, but you know,

622
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: a teammate who they just had spent a lot of

623
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Jacobs. Think how long Josh Jacobs has

624
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: probably known Henry Ruggs for you know, six years, seven years, right,

625
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: they both went to Alabama together. They were both there

626
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: at minimum, you know, three years. Jacobs was a senior.

627
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Jacobs probably on the team when Ruggs came a recruiting trip.

628
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: Like we're humans, you know, and it's just this type

629
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: situation that can rock you. Now they're playing the Giants

630
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: this week, They're leaving on Friday. I've already bet them

631
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: to win, but I I do wonder, like it's just

632
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: hard to shake so many of these things. Uh, and

633
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna come to catch them.

634
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: And there's a football aspect of Henry Ruggs was an

635
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: ascending player. Uh, he looked fantastic this year. His statistical

636
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: line did not match what his impact was on the field.

637
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: Like I think he had a chance to become a really,

638
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: really good player, and now he's gone forever. I mean,

639
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: obviously they cut him, but you know, and I see

640
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: a lot of this, like his career is not over,

641
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: like guys, he is going to jail for a long

642
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: fucking time, Like it's not arguable, like he ain't. It's

643
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: it's over, Like it's it's done, Like he ain't coming

644
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: back from this. And I'm not one to say that usually,

645
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: like when something happens to someone like I, I I don't

646
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: never say that this is this is the private sector,

647
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, you always look past when money's on the line.

648
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: It's just whether that makes you uncomfortable or not, it's

649
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: just that's the reality of life and how we operate

650
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: in America. But this one, like he ain't even gonna

651
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: be available. And I think, if you know, I've never

652
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: known a person that's gone to jail for ten years

653
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: or fifteen years, But if you would spend a lot

654
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: of time with them, even if you think the act

655
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: that whatever they committed was heinous, that would still impact you.

656
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's gonna catch up to

657
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: him this week again, I put money on the Raiders

658
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: UH to beat the Giants, who have a COVID problem

659
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: going on right now. But I do wonder if, like

660
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: as the season goes, if if they just kind of,

661
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say fall flat, but

662
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: it would be understandable if they do overcome it. UH,

663
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: if they make the playoff, if they win the division.

664
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: I think you can just hand the m v P

665
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: to Derek Carr, especially if he keeps playing, always been playing.

666
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: It would be a remarkable like it clearly it would

667
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: encompass more than football. But if you're able to overcome

668
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: your coach getting fired for a non you know, football thing,

669
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: right with the emails, and then a teammate slash an

670
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: incident like this happening, and you lead a team to

671
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: you know, twelve victories, it's fucking remarkable accomplishment. Derek even

672
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, I don't have a choice. I

673
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: have to compartmentalize. And this is what I'm saying, like

674
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: we all can compartmentalize no matter how much tragedy or

675
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: death or whatever you've been through, but eventually it hits you,

676
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, and you just it's hard to focus. You know,

677
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: I don't care how mentally tough you are. We're all

678
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: humans at a point in this one, whether whether it

679
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: catches up to him this week, but I could see

680
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: just them going through a very, very rough game. It

681
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: would be very understandable in the near future. And lastly,

682
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs. I understand the business of the

683
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: sport is to generate interest and a huge and listen,

684
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: College football right now is the number two sport in America.

685
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: The NFL is number one by a wide margin. College

686
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: football is too. Like last week, Michigan, Michigan State got

687
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: nine million people, nine million people, like the World Series

688
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: got eleven million. The World Series got eleven million people

689
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: watching the NBA a big game for them during the

690
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: regular season is like two million people. Michigan Michigan State

691
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: nine million people. Ohio State averages five million people watching

692
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: their games. College football is a bohemoth. It's a cash

693
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: cap and the way to increase just interest or put

694
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: these arbitrary numbers next to teams. And they've been doing

695
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: it forever, right it happens in college basketball is no different.

696
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: But but unlike college football, all the teams who are

697
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: any good make the tournament, so everyone has a shot

698
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: to win the national championship in college football. Obviously, before

699
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it was just it felt a little thrown together.

700
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Oftentimes it didn't feel like the observing team even got

701
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: a shot. Uh, it was just there wasn't a rhyme

702
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: or reason to it. Now there's a rhyme or reason

703
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: four teams get in. Uh. But to do this this early,

704
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: to me seems like can you imagine if we did

705
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: an NFL playoffs show like this are gonna be the

706
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: matchups in Thanksgiving and we just did like a serious show,

707
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: you'd be like, well, these teams, like three of these

708
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: teams still play each other, that they're all they all

709
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: have the same record. Why why are we wasting any breath?

710
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: We don't do that, right, We just we talked about

711
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: the individual week's games because there's not some arbitrary number

712
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: next to teams names in the NFL. We you're either

713
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs or not. No, obviously it's harder

714
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: to make the college football playoffs because you know, four teams.

715
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: But by doing these these games, like I thought it

716
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: was kind of stupid. Now I understand why they do it,

717
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: and I get why the interest, But I guess I

718
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: think it's stupid if you make a big deal of it,

719
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: because just George, you're right now clearly the number one team.

720
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: No one argues, but Alabama, even before they get to Georgia,

721
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: they already got a lost. They have to play at Auburn.

722
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: Now I don't think saban is you know, Brian Harson

723
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: is Sabans equal, but aubur is pretty good this year,

724
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: and let's face it, Alabama is somewhat a shell of itself.

725
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: So for Alabama to stay in the top four, they

726
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: have to win at Auburn, which they have lost before

727
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: in the saban Era, and then they have to beat Georgia.

728
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: Who Georgia in that game I would guess will be

729
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: a seven to ten point favorite. They're going to be

730
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: a massive favorite, even over Alabama. Then take a step

731
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: back Michigan State, Well, Michigan State plays Ohio State. Guess

732
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in that game. They're gonna be a

733
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: massive underdog and let's face it, more than likely Ohio

734
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: State's winning that game, So that's gonna play itself out.

735
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: And then Oregon, by have you watched them play, they

736
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: are no lock to win out. That's they're just not

737
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: that they they get up for big games and they

738
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: get down for little games. They still play at Utah,

739
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: which they could lose that game. While they're better, they

740
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: could lose. And then you look at the team. Ohio State,

741
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: like I said, plays Michigan State and Oklahoma still play

742
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: several teams that are in the top fifteen. So I

743
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: understand getting all fired up on this and putting out

744
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: the early rankings and getting everyone excited. Do you know

745
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: the only thing we learned, the only thing we truly learned,

746
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: is that a nonpower five team is never gonna make

747
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And you know what, I don't care, Like

748
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, Like this is this is the

749
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: country club that includes power five programs. The nonpower five

750
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: programs are not invited to it. Every country club in America,

751
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: like Augusta, every state has these. Just because you have

752
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money doesn't mean they're gonna let you in.

753
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: Just because you're having a good season doesn't mean I

754
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: have to let you in my playoff. And they can

755
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: say whatever they want. It's white noise. We know they

756
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: are on the outside looking in. And I saw yesterday

757
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: gust bells On, who's now at UCF and clearly coached

758
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: at Auburn, forever played Alabama every single year, said I've

759
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: been in the SEC. I played Alabama, I played Georgia.

760
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: I know what it looks like Cincinnati is they're equal.

761
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: Well that's great, Gus, But the people that decide don't

762
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: agree with you, and no one truly because their fan

763
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: base is never gonna be big enough, is gonna pound

764
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: the table hard enough to get that team in. And

765
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that because listen, when I worked in

766
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: college football, I was at a non power five and

767
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: while we played Boise and we would play up you know, Wisconsin,

768
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: and we would play Power five programs, but most weeks

769
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: it was like New Mexico, San Diego State, you know, uh,

770
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: New Mexico State. It was teams that Hawaii that just

771
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: aren't the same as going through the rigors of you know,

772
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: playing even just Kentucky in Tennessee in Florida or Penn

773
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: State in Iowa. It's a completely different level. So it

774
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me at all. But I think the overreaction

775
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: sometime to the early you know, college football playoff rankings

776
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: is just that because it always plays itself out because

777
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: all the top teams always in conference end up playing

778
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: other ranked teams and they will either stay up or

779
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: they'll come back down. It's a tried and true formula.

780
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: It happens every single year. And if I would guess

781
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State's gonna beat Michigan State and ultimately mal Tucker

782
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be at l s U and Oregon, like,

783
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: I do not feel very confident that they're just gonna

784
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: win out. I will be stunned if they do not

785
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: have a game over the next month where it's like

786
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: tied in the second half and you're like, oh, are

787
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: they gonna go down? Because if they lose their gone

788
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: and then Oklahoma, if they went out, especially against they

789
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: beat Oklahoma State and they be Baylor, They're going to

790
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: be in the final four. It's too bad that Texas

791
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: and Pole Assassin. If you haven't heard the Pole Assassin story,

792
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: make sure you google. That is nowhere near the final

793
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: four because Sark is already four and four. Uh he

794
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: has his special teams, coach married or dating a stripper,

795
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: biting kids, and uh, I've said forever. Sark has an

796
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: incredible marketing campaign because he's not a very good head coach.

797
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: He's just not you know. And I think Sark and

798
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: Lane get lumped together a lot. Lankin coach Sark not really. Okay,

799
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: let's get too a little middle Coff mail back at

800
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff is the uh little thing we call an

801
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: Instagram account. I heard Derek Carr speak about the Henry

802
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: Rugg situation. He is so reliable, mature and impressive at

803
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: the mic. How valuable do you think he is for

804
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders organization off the field? Thanks a bunch, love

805
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: the show. Like I said earlier today, Uh, I mean,

806
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: I just they would be They'd be a joke without him.

807
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: They were a joke before him. They had moments even

808
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: with him that they were kind of a joke when

809
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: he was a younger player. And uh yeah, I mean

810
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: they would be the lillions. They would be the Lions

811
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: in a cooler market, no offense, Detroit never been there,

812
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: but that's what they would be. So to me, they

813
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: they're very lucky to have them. They're very lucky. Reggie

814
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: mackenzie drafted him in the second round because Mark Davis

815
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: never talks right. Uh. Gruden, you know, was a laughing stock.

816
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: I get laughing stock would be strong. I mean he was.

817
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: He was definitely not worth a hundred million dollars, that's

818
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: for sure. So I I think they are they're very

819
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: lucky to have the guy, for sure. And he's a

820
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: good player, you know. I mean, he's a top you know,

821
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: ten quarterback in the league. He's probably somewhere this year

822
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: between like seven and ten. He's just a really good player.

823
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: He's the best quarterback you know. You know, rich Gannon

824
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: was only there a couple of years now. He won

825
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: an m v P. But you know Derek's career, you're

826
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to make a playoffs a couple of times.

827
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: I guess rich did make the playoffs and go to

828
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But you know, at worst, he's got a

829
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: chance to be the you know, second best quarterback in

830
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: the last fifty years. Ken Stabler, rich Gannon, I know,

831
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: what's his name? What the hell is his name? He

832
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: went to Stanford, he won a couple of Super Bowls.

833
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Uh not Tom Flora as the guy that we're Jim Plunkett.

834
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: But Derek's a better player in Jim Plunkett. But Jim

835
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: Plunkett was a super Bowl champion. They won two in

836
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: l A huge cowboy fans. What's your take on the

837
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: Gallop when Gallup comes back four wide spread with two backs?

838
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: Honest opinion? If you were the de coordinator, how would

839
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: you game plan against them? I had thought like, should

840
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: they trade Gallop? You know, I'm pretty sure Michael Gallup

841
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: is in a contract year. I think the best thing

842
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: they can hope for is Gallup comes back and is

843
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: good and then right they have mean Amori and CD

844
00:44:55,560 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: are going nowhere. That Wilson kid is good. G Up

845
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: so cheap. I'm going to his contract page right now.

846
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: They got him in the second round. Yeah, he's a

847
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: u f A. So to me, if he comes back,

848
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: you want him to look good so you can tag

849
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,479
Speaker 1: and trade. Could you tag and trade him to someone

850
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: for like a third round pick? Like, I mean, I

851
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: think he's a pretty good player. I thought he was

852
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, I mean, I spread it out, you know,

853
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: That's what I'd do. I'd spread that baby out and

854
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: throw the pill around. You know Gallup. You know, I

855
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: guess tag and trade might be a little tough. He

856
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: had sixty six catches two years ago, he had sixty

857
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: catches last year and five. He's had eleven touchdowns the

858
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: last two years. Um he hasn't played yet this year.

859
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: I always like Michael Gallup. I think they drafted in

860
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: the second round. They drafted in the second round, they

861
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: drafted in the third round, and really, you know, if

862
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't seed hadn't fallen to them, they wouldn't have

863
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 1: drafted CD. So I think that kind of changed the game.

864
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: With the a f C and such a log jam currently,

865
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: who do you consider to be the pop top team

866
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: at this point? I don't think there is one because

867
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee is the number one seed without Derrick Henry. They

868
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: just are not the top team. Their defense is not

869
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: good enough to be the top team. I I can't

870
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: say they're the best team in the a f C.

871
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: And they're good, I mean they're fine. I'm pulling up

872
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs standings Vegas. I mean they just lost one

873
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: of their best players that one, and I think Vegas

874
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: a playoff team. I couldn't put the Ravens ahead of

875
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders because the Raiders beat the Ravens. I'd probably

876
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: say the Bills. I think that the Bills played the Ravens,

877
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Titans. I would you know in

878
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: a playoff game, I would pick the Bills in all

879
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 1: those games because I wouldn't take the Bengals. I wouldn't

880
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: take the Steelers, I wouldn't take the Charges, I wouldn't

881
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: take the Patriots. I would say the Bills are the

882
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: best team in the a f C, with the Ravens

883
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: and Raiders kind of right behind them. I said it

884
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: on my other podcast, the a f C is wide

885
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: freaking open. For forever, it was not open. It was

886
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick and Peyton Manning, and then the last

887
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: three years it was Mahomes. Now it's like the Bills

888
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 1: are by no means a lock, like they can lose

889
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: a playoff game. So I would say that I think

890
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: this a f C is for anyone could win it.

891
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: Before Rugs went out, I thought the Raiders had a

892
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: pretty good chance to compete with anybody, But that that

893
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 1: makes it a little more difficult. I'd say the Ravens,

894
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: but they have had so many injuries, and they get

895
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: their ass kicked by the Bengals a couple of weeks ago.

896
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the NFC is gonna be just powerhouses

897
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: right Tampa. When Rogers comes back, l a like that,

898
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: that's just the Dallas I mean those four teams are

899
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: fucking good. I mean, all four of those teams can

900
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: win it. Arizona, I think it's gonna be a little

901
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: more difficult, but those Arizonas go make the playoffs. But

902
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: those four teams can win the like are if any

903
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: one of those four teams were in the a f C,

904
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 1: we would pick them. The Cowboys scheduled to have seems

905
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: to have them slotted against less than sellar quarterback down.

906
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: The top quarterbacks they've played had been Brady and Herbert.

907
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,959
Speaker 1: One was a lost, the other on was a field

908
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: goal at the end. Could there be in for a

909
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: disappointment come the playoffs? They'll be when they're facing elite quarterback.

910
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: Well sure, I mean that's the playoffs. It's hard, you know,

911
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: you play the best quarterbacks in the playoffs. Whenever you

912
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: lose in the like Rogers last year was a big disappointment.

913
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: The Chief last year was a big disappointment. When you

914
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: lose in the playoffs, unless the Cowboys do not, you know,

915
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl, it's gonna be a major disappointment

916
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys, so they play They played Denver this week.

917
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: I got news for you. They're gonna win that game.

918
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: Then they play Atlanta. They're gonna win that game. They're

919
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna be in one. Then they got the Chiefs and

920
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: the Raiders back to back. Okay, then the Saints, then

921
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: football team, New York football team, Philly, Arizona. I mean,

922
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna win twelve thirteen games. I mean, they have

923
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: a very good chance to be the number one seed.

924
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: More than likely they're the two or three seeds and

925
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: they're hosting a playoff game, and hell, in the second round,

926
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: they might be hosting a playoff game. Again. If they're

927
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: the two seed, they're gonna host back to back games,

928
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: assuming they win the first game. Now, granted to see,

929
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: it could be like Niners Cowboys, which talk about television ratings.

930
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: That thing will do about thirty million people. Yeah, I mean,

931
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 1: who when you losing the playoffs and you're a thirteen

932
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: fourteen win team, it's a kick in the you know

933
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: what I mean it is think about all the playoffs.

934
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: Let's just think out loud about some of the playoff

935
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: losses last year. Kansas City devastating Buffalo not quite as devastating.

936
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: No one thought they could beat the Bills, Packers losing

937
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: to the Tampa Uh. I mean that was a big

938
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: time loss. When the Saints lost to Tampa in the

939
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: second round at home, that was a big time loss.

940
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: That was a depth. That was Drew brees last game

941
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: ever as a pro. Remember some of the visuals of

942
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: Brady and Breeze on the field after with his kids,

943
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: Brady's fan or i mean Breezes family, Tom throwing one

944
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: of Drew's kids balls. It was clear it was over,

945
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: like that was that was the end, and it's always

946
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 1: the end whenever your sees I'll never forget my first

947
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. We made the playoffs, we won

948
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: the NFC East, We hosted the Packers, and that was

949
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: the year Aaron Rodgers won the Super Bowl and he

950
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: beat us and the season you you spend all this time,

951
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: all season long, every week, just grinding, grinding, grinding, grinding

952
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: your team's good. We had Michael Vick and he almost

953
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: won the m v P and it was like, can

954
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: we uh, can we go to the NFC championship game.

955
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna win a couple of playoff games and then

956
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: you lose. Like what do you do? The next day

957
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, you start getting ready for free agency

958
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: in the draft. Just ends so and it ends it sucks.

959
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a kick in the you know

960
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, It is a gut punch. So Brady,

961
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Tom's gonna lose one of these years

962
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: in Tampa Like, I mean, they might win back to back,

963
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: but let's just statistically speaking, what are the chances that

964
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: Tom Brady ends his career with nine Super Bowls? You'd

965
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: say probably not right? Is it crazy? Like one of

966
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: these years Tampa Bay this year, let's say they're the

967
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: two seats and they played the Niners and the Niners

968
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: are seven point underdog. And I'm not saying this because

969
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Niners guy. I'm just saying, like, just it

970
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: could be I would put another team in there, but

971
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't really. You can't put Minnesota in there. They

972
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't lose to Minnesota. Let's just say Kyle Shanahan were

973
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: to upset them. Can you imagine the feeling like, oh

974
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: my god, it's Tom Brady gonna retire? Is he gonna

975
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: come back for another one? He can't end his career

976
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: like that. Can you imagine how mad Tom would be?

977
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: We don't see Tom mad that often, just like historically

978
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see Bill mad that often they

979
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 1: didn't lose. They went to the Super Bowl all the time.

980
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: Remember a couple of times they lost. It was like, oh,

981
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: there's Bill not shaking anyone's hand, Tom walking right off.

982
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: Sore losers. What did Lombardi say, show me a good loser.

983
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: I'll show you a loser like sore losers are usually,

984
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: you know, especially with when they're winners. They're not used

985
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: to losing. So it's gonna happen. It's just if if

986
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: Tampa does not make a Super Bowl this year, it's

987
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty historic moment when Brady loses, because

988
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: he's just the last deck six seven years he's ad

989
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: minimum made at the Super Bowl. And then how many

990
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: super Bowls does he have in the last five years? Four?

991
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: He has four super Bowls basically since two thousand fifteen.

992
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: That's insane, that's that's nuts, but it's also a fact.

993
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend, enjoy some college football, enjoy some cocktails,

994
