48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: I didn't hear this literally like adventures that Greg's having

49
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: by himself. Well, that had nothing to do with my Well,

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: I guess it did, just because she could have left

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: me in. Yeah, when I was going out Saturday night

52
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: after I left you guys at the beach, that's where

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: we hung out with Colleen in Ghanza and West Uh.

54
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: You know, I took a cab to Hollywood and went

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: out or took out Uber and I locked myself out

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: of my house and so when I got back late

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: at night, I had to break into my house. That

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: seems like a Greg move, which wasn't you know, wasn't

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: that wasn't that easy? At the climb onto a neighbor's

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: sort of did not jump over another thing with wires,

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: and I I thought initially I my back or something,

62
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: which shows Oh, yeah, he doesn't care. I love it.

63
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: I love this new Greg. I've actually had to break

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: into my house before. It is to break into my

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: house apparently. But here's Greg's address, fourteen Twelves Drive. Um.

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, Greg still here and getting ready to go

67
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: to Japan. Sel Life's good for Greg Rosenbal. I learned

68
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: something interesting too about Greg. I was gonna say, like,

69
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: what what have you learned? I learned that he was

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: one of the founding members of a bacci ball Was

71
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: it a league or well it was not a league. Yeah,

72
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: West West brought some bacci balls to the beach. Not

73
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: a huge hit, but yeah, I was. I was a

74
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: founding member of the inaugural Minichag Regional Bocci Club I

75
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: believe the high school bocci club in all of Massachusetts

76
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: that go for you. You were against Colleen and I.

77
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean look I'm not I'm not really

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: great at corn hole or bocci ball. Well would you

79
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: sing this up to the line that I said before

80
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: the show, which is West is like the Michael Jordan

81
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: of parlor games. Whatever whatever team's west On generally wins

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: these things. So when it was West and I, Colleen

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: and her husband couldn't even score a point off of us.

84
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: What's the Malcolm Gladwell thing. If you spend ten thousand

85
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: hours on anything, you master it, that's west suspend over

86
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: ten million hours in bars, start starts, pool, anything that's

87
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: not really a sport doesn't work. That's an outrage. That's

88
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: a good question. Uh. Yeah. This is the Monday edition

Speaker 1: back from a torn achilles and um. The Miami Dolphins

153
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: are a team that have tried over and over again

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: this offseason to get a running back to stick with

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: their team. They try to get Lamar Miller or they

156
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: try to hold on to him. Couldn't do it. C J. Anderson.

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: They signed him to an offer sheet. Correct went back

158
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: to the Broncos. Was there a third guy that Chris Johnson.

159
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: They offered twice as much as the Cardinals and supposedly

160
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: they were in on Alfred Morris as well. Well it's

161
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: somebody please take our money. Right So now, Arian Foster

162
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: now is connected to the Dolphins. Rap Sheet reported Monday

163
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: that the former Texans running back is scheduled to meet

164
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: with the team on Tuesday. Um he was cut Fosters

165
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: Cupping of the Texans earlier this month. Um Rap report

166
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: reported that Foster could quote passive physical now, but the

167
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins are unlikely to sign him until he can go

168
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: uh full speed. And by the way, guys, you know

169
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: we don't like to always do this, but this is

170
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: something that was predicted on this very podcast. How obvious

171
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: is it gonna be when in about a month or

172
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: two the Dolphins make a way too big offer for

173
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Arian Foster? I mean that's what That's what a Stefan

174
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and Fergie are doing in that front office a that

175
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: actually hasn't happened yet. The offer, the way too big offer.

176
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: B Is there any chance you bring that clip up

177
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: if anyone else else in the room and made that prediction,

178
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, I would have remembered it if you guys

179
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: did it. But I think this is an excellent call, Dan,

180
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and you still have a month for that offer to

181
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: come in. It's coming, is what I'm saying. It was

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: when it will be more than any other team would

183
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: be offering. It's it was obvious that this that name brand,

184
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: that shiny thing, that their front office would be interested

185
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: in it. It just amount can he still play. I

186
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: guess they're making at least the right move greg to

187
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: waiting to see how he looks when he's quote unquote

188
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: a percent, It makes sense. I mean, I think he's

189
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: worth a shot as long as the money's low. Clearly

190
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: they don't. I think that they're set at running back.

191
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: They have j G I, who I started watching for

192
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: a piece. We're gonna redraft the two thousand fifteen draft.

193
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the running back. I like J

194
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: G I a lot, but maybe he doesn't quite fit

195
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: the scheme that Adam Gates is gonna do. He's more

196
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: of a one cut kind of big guy. He would

197
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: fit well in Denver, and he's had injury problems. So

198
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna draft someone. Either either going to

199
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: draft someone high, or they're gonna sign Foster. Foster is

200
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: great when he's good and when he's healthy. I mean,

201
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: but every he just seems like he's always hurt. And

202
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: he's going to be thirty right, So I mean they

203
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm sold on them just having

204
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: j J I E there. They need somebody else now,

205
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and they have no depth. They literally have no one

206
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: else preffically on the roster, so they need a couple

207
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: a couple of players. Can anyone name a running back

208
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: who has made a successful return from achilles tendon surgery? Uh?

209
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: Deuce McAllister was moderately successful for a little bit, wasn't he.

210
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: He like kind of came back and he came back

211
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: and it was like a goal lineback, but he was

212
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: the one carrying the bat and stuff like that. Yeah,

213
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: he's getting everyone excited. Andre Brown came back and just

214
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: kept getting injured. Now, Achille surgery has come light years

215
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: in the last five six years, but skill position players

216
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: are running back who's gotta cut like that? I don't

217
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: know if he can do it. We'll see how it

218
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: plays out plenty of time. It sounds like this isn't

219
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: something that's imminent, and I would assume other teams will

220
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: get interested if he's healthy and other news. Rap sheet

221
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: reported Monday that the Saints have agreed to a one

222
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: year deal with Nick Fairley. New Orleans announced the deal

223
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: later that day. Um the Patriots had interested in adding

224
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Fairly after they lost a Keen Hicks, but ultimately Fairly

225
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: ends up with the Saints. Anybody a little nervous about

226
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: Nick Fairley playing in No LANs a lot of good

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: food down there after. I'm just saying he's had issues well, conditioningwise,

228
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes it just seems like he gets

229
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: loses focus. New Orleans is a place where you can

230
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: lose yourself a little bit. I think that's a thing

231
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: I think for a player that is going to be prone.

232
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if Nick Fairley is this player or not,

233
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: but for players that are prone two possibly eating too much,

234
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: drinking too much, New Orleans is one of those cities.

235
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Miami would be similar, but in a different way, more

236
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: for the nightlife, where I think it can have a

237
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: harmful effect on a NFL player. It certainly does for

238
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: people that go down to college there. Half the people

239
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: don't make it back for sophomore year. And these are like,

240
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, gali g kids paying a lot of like

241
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: private school money, and then they's like, I've just seen

242
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: a lot of kids who have never had a drop

243
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: of alcohol in their life show up for freshman year

244
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: and they're gone, you know, six months later because they've

245
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: been wasted. What did you say? New Orleans is the

246
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: best culinary city in the country per capita there's no doubt.

247
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, for for the amount of people, it's not

248
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: even close though per capita. Now New York is right,

249
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: you know New York obviously for the breadth. Uh. San

250
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Francisco and l A are both great. But I don't

251
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: think I trust myself to go in a condensed area

252
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: with that little amount of people and what sense I

253
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if I'd be able to handle

254
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: all the delicious food there. I don't know if I

255
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: would come back. What about the other avenues of indulgence? Okay,

256
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: so just the food food, Okay, well that's good. But

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: Nick fairly he could play when he's uh motivated, in

258
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: shape and stuff. So for a team that uh every

259
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: year is a terrible defense. Adding a guy uh you know,

260
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: under the age of thirty with some talent not a

261
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: bad signing, right, fifty shades of terrible. D Well, they

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: needed defensive tackles. He's probably got to start for them.

263
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: I like the signing. I think they needed to take

264
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: some chance. People have been talking up their off season.

265
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: James Lawrenitus to me was talking it up. I saw

266
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: a couple well ian for our NFL. I gave them

267
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: a d on our grades. He also matched old Josh Hill,

268
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: our former making the leap so they can throw it

269
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: to him ten times again this year. Yeah, I'm not

270
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: a fan of Lauraitis, but that's a good signing. Nick Fairley,

271
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: here's another signing that could be good, depending if you

272
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: could talk yourself into the player. The Packers are gonna

273
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: sign tight end Jared Cook, formerly of the Rams, a

274
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: one year, three point six million dollar deal per rap sheet.

275
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: Uh that's um. I guess the deal is not official yet,

276
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: but that's the deal. It's gonna happen eventually, giving Aaron

277
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers a pass catching tight end he seems to have

278
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: been lacking since Uh jerm Michael Finley suffered his career

279
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: ending neck injury. Cook comes to Green Bay after three

280
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: years in St. Louis. He's twenty eight years old, had

281
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: um six yards and eight touchdowns in those three years. However, Greg,

282
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: you um spoke often or numerous times, at least repeatedly

283
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: or multiple times. At least twice, you said it at

284
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: least twice that Yard Cook was holding holding out offense hostage.

285
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: At times you didn't not like what he was doing

286
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: in St. Louis last year. No, a few tight ends

287
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: did more to hurt their team than Jared Cook. Always

288
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: a penalty or a mental error or a drop. He

289
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: would kill the Rams and they just refused to take

290
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: him out of lineup. What do have it? A tight

291
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: end is holding the Rams have a quarterback. He's going

292
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: from case Keenum and Nick Fools to Aaron Rodgers. Wait, so,

293
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Chris Wessler, are you saying that Jared Cook could be

294
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: a pro bowler in Green Bay? I'm saying he chose

295
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: the Packers over the Bears, Falcons and Panthers. He had interest.

296
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: This is not an insignificant insignificant contract. Three million dollars

297
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: for a year. That's fairly pricey. I mean that's a

298
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: good deal. I think this offense needed speed. They were

299
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: the slowest wide receiver tight end corps in the NFL

300
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: by next Gen stats, according to next Gen Stats last year,

301
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: and you could see it on the film. Nobody could

302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: get open. You had Nelson and Cook and a skinny

303
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: ready Lacey. Let's well, let's talk about that. If you

304
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: have Jared Cook who can move and make some plays,

305
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson back, let's assume he's after a c L surgery.

306
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey, the p P ninety X guy. It looks

307
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: like a photo that started floating around last week. Looks

308
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: like he's slimmed down considerably. Put all those things together,

309
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: Could this offense be great again, because it certainly wasn't

310
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: last year. I think it. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you

311
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: look at what they've been able to do in the past,

312
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: just take last year out of it. It was just

313
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: last year. I mean that offense can really work. And

314
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the things that we saw from him last year,

315
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: I think was a trickle down effect because the stuff

316
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: that we solve him kind of skittish in the pocket.

317
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: I think that he just got burned so many times

318
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: by his receivers dropping things and guys just not making

319
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: plays and not being in the right place at the

320
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: right time. And I think that when all of the

321
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: guys are back, it will change everything. By the way,

322
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: wait just wait until August when the stories start coming

323
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: out about how banged up Randall Cobb was. He was

324
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: never close to the same guy. So if he's healthy.

325
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: You know, we were talking before Nelson got hurt West

326
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: last summer. I remember where with some buzz about could

327
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: this be a historic offense? Perhaps after one down year

328
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: they'll be back to that level. Well, everything that could

329
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: go wrong went wrong. Jordy Nelson, we were ranking him

330
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: as a top five NFL receiver and got a lot

331
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: of brushback on that from people who said he was

332
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: just a product of Aaron Rodgers. I think we saw

333
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: that he wasn't just a product. Then Randall Cobb gets hurt.

334
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: Davante Adams gets hurt. Wow, he might not he might

335
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: not even make the team at this point. Davante, Oh,

336
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: he's making the team. I think Jared Cook's a good

337
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: move because great quarterbacks make mid level players better, so

338
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: he I think there'll be a Gamer two where Packers

339
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: fans are cursing Jared Cook's name because he does something

340
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: I agree with that stupid. But this is not an

341
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: insignificant move. He's had seventy or more targets in the

342
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: last four years, I mean, and the Rams paid way

343
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: overpaid him. The Packers are getting them on a pretty

344
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: decent deal. Well, and they had convinced themselves they had

345
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: to get a tight end. So you always like a

346
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: free agent move like this where now they're not going

347
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: into the draft feeling like we have to draft the

348
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: tight end in the first second. Round we have cooked there.

349
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: If the right one falls to them, then they'll probably

350
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: take one anyways. Uh. In other news, Rex Ryan, this

351
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: is a little left over action from the Coach's Breakfast

352
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: last week a post by Connor or this morning which

353
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: was just tearing it up on the metrics is Greg

354
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: uh let us know. This morning, Rex Ryan was asked

355
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: about the Ryan Fitzpatrick situation with the Jets. Fitzpatrick, of course,

356
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: still a free agent, not attached to the Jets. He's

357
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: looking for, from what we're hearing, roughly double than what

358
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: the Jets are offering right now. But Ryan said he

359
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: really hopes that um Ryan Fitzpatrick is out of out

360
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: of New York. But do you believe him? Here's the

361
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: line or here's the quote. I hope he goes somewhere else.

362
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: I do. He's tougher than hell. What's lost in it

363
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: is he might have played poorly against us, he might

364
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: have had a bad day referring to week seventeen, but

365
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: I think they won five straight with him, and he

366
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: was lighting it up probably the most yards and history

367
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: of that franchise. We'll see. Like I said, I hope

368
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: they lose him. And then kind did a nice job

369
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: at his post, because then he went through all the

370
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Rex Fitzpatrick games going back to time in Buffalo um

371
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: or Fitzpatrick's tun and Buffalo and for many of those games, Uh,

372
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: the Amish Rifle was dreadful and it actually lowered my

373
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: peace scale from seven and a half about losing fits

374
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: Magic to seven because it as started. There's another reminder

375
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: of that. Ryan Fitzpatrick come on great year last year,

376
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: but he's not that good. So Rex Ryan's playing games.

377
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: All I can think about when I hear about that

378
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: is Rex Ryan. After that, I think we were talking

379
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: about at the beach too, the win that the Bills

380
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: had over Rush, the Color Rush game, and that's what

381
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: that's what happened that game because Fitzpatrick he melted down,

382
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: and then afterwards it was Rex just talking about he

383
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: was glowing, he was beaming, he was so excited. He

384
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: was talking about being dumped by a hot girl. And

385
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: then that's making weird metaphors and things. Well, that was

386
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: a very tough moment for me and I thought I

387
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: will never forget it. Um, you know, the Color Rush

388
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: game and as a man, you know, with one of

389
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: color blind people out there, for instance, when that he

390
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: when Fitzpatrick through that interception at the end of the game.

391
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Was it an interception or was it a good completion

392
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: to keep the game going? I couldn't really tell. By

393
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: the way. Here the seven games, Rex fits Patrick ten

394
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: of twenty five, nine of twenty three, twelve, fifteen, thirty one,

395
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: thirty on eighteen and thirty two, twelve of twenty six.

396
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: Bunch of interceptions. I've got a lot to say on

397
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: this now that I think of it. Fun I like

398
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: that the Jets fans are now trying to They're not

399
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: trying to talk themselves into not getting them back. No,

400
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: I want to go that far. That's kind of the

401
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: natural process. We're just that's starting now. We're just trying to, like,

402
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, ease if that does happen, realize that Joe

403
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Montana is not walking out the building too, I think,

404
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: and no one, no one seems to really believe. I

405
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: think Geno Smiths no, no, no, here again, it has nothing,

406
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with it with what I think.

407
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: But I've heard this now from multiple multiple place. Is

408
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: I think his presence there is absolutely having a big

409
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: impact on their Ryan Fitzpatrick's stand. So whether you agree

410
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: with me or not. I think Mike mccagnan and Todd

411
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: Bowles agrees with me that he is a legitimate option

412
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: and he's part of the reason they're holding the line

413
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: guy that they had nothing to do with bringing in

414
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: that Their only real experience we're gonna start him was

415
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: getting his jaw busted into fikes w. He was being

416
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: a jackal and he was the starter. He was the

417
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: starter at that point. They had spent the whole off

418
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: season very loosely. There was nothing he was probably gonna be,

419
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: so you just probably multiple multiple. I think he represents

420
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: an option, so it would be a way. I think

421
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: the Jets would be more aggressive, and I think they

422
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: kind of like him and probably think, I don't know,

423
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: it's not that different between those I don't think so

424
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: I think that makes them be able to be a

425
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: little more Get your point, Greg, but I'm saying if

426
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: it was just Bryce Petty in the building, I think

427
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: they'd be different. At least they know, oh, we have

428
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: a guy who was a two year starter. But it's

429
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: not because they like the guy. I think they just

430
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: know him as a fallback option. Might be Gregg's most

431
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: peculiar stays in the history of this podcast, going to

432
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: the barricade, I'm going out you do, but at some

433
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: point it's a little bit rooted and that you still

434
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: believe that, you know, is a decent quarterback. Well, yeah,

435
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I think they see that he has some potent and

436
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: you want them to say, I think they do see that.

437
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: I've heard it from people are saying that the Jets believe,

438
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: and maybe the Jets are just putting that out there

439
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: a little bit as leverage. Also, the numbers on Fitzpatrick

440
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: what they're offering him kind of went out there from

441
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Bleacher Report right now. His offer was seven million a year.

442
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: He's looking for sixteen, so that, I mean, that's significant.

443
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: That is pretty insulting in a league where r G

444
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: three and Chase Daniel are making something. Is it insulting

445
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: or is that what he really he's really worth. Here's

446
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: the thing, and I think I said this on the

447
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: check show. I don't think I said it on this one.

448
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I would understand if Fitzpatrick has stayed

449
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: out of the fray and you haven't heard from him

450
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: at all, which is cool, which is good, But wouldn't

451
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: you be annoyed, like really angry if you're Fitzpatrick He

452
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: saved that team last year from total clown car uh

453
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: same old Jets uh disaster by not only taking over

454
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: on short notice, but then thriving and setting the touchdown

455
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: record for the team. And this is how you repay me.

456
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: You offered him throwing the season away in the season finals.

457
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: I think that, I mean, that's part of the story

458
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: and probably a part of the reason he's not signed yet.

459
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: But what he was able to do, he saved them.

460
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: They went ten at six when everyone thought the wheels

461
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: are gonna come on. I think that that they know,

462
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: they know who he is. But that's a statement offer.

463
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: That's like I think of relatively low reasonable offer would

464
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: be ten or eleven a year on like a one

465
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: or two year deal. And that's even that's on the

466
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: low end. That's like, hey, here's the lowest end of

467
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. To go seven is like you're a backup.

468
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: That's how we view you. How many other teams have

469
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: chased him that we know of? Nobody really nobody, because

470
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: they know what he is. But they also these other

471
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: teams know that he's only looking for fifteen million plus

472
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: and there maybe if he brought his price tag down.

473
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I still think he ends up a

474
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: jet but he's gonna get in average roster to six

475
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: and ten and a pretty good roster to ten and six,

476
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: and that's it. Maybe not a super Bowl quarterback. I

477
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: got you moving on Trent Richardson. We talked about it

478
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think last week with um Cessler

479
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: when he was on the phone and and I was

480
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: I was about to say, get well soon, Mark, But

481
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: I don't think he's listening. I think he's just recovering

482
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: in recovery mode. I hope he doesn't have vertigo. That's

483
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: a horrible affliction. Yeah. Sometimes I feel like in Nikosanski's career,

484
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: poor Nick, promising young lefty slugger for the Red Sox,

485
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: right came up with I hope that doesn't happen to Mark. Yeah,

486
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: we hope you're not the next next that you're not

487
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: not the Nikosaski of the podcast world. Get well soon, Mark, anyway.

488
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson says that with a big smile on her face,

489
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: thinking like, don't put that out there by an open chair.

490
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: Um anyway, Mark and I have a sandwich wager on

491
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Trent richards and ever playing a snap again in a

492
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: regular season game of course, and uh, now the Ravens

493
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: have been tied to Richardson in a loose sense, uh

494
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: for several weeks and a l dot com is that

495
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: what is aled Alabama? Yes? Um? Reporter Matt Zennitts had

496
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: this uh interesting little tidbit about Richardson's way in with

497
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Um he weighed in at two thirty eight

498
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: pounds after settling for quote fried chicken and Popeye's the

499
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: night before, then eating a heavy breakfast that consisted of pancakes, grits,

500
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: and a breakfast rap. His quote, I didn't think that

501
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: sounds like a Saturday. I didn't think I was working out.

502
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Richardson sent of why he had such a big meal.

503
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: They were like, you ready to go work out. I'm like,

504
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: work out. That was right before the workout, and I

505
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: got weighed right before that. I was like, oh my god.

506
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: And I jumped on the scale and I was like,

507
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've been doing so good. According to Richardson,

508
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: um uh, he reportedly weighed two twenty six last week

509
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: before the that Neil a twelve pound meal. I don't know,

510
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: it's a little it's all a little hazy. But the

511
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Ravens wanted to get down to. So he's still significantly

512
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: overweight in terms of what the Ravens wanted to be.

513
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: And you know, that meal a little bit of a if.

514
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: If I've ever heard one, good luck to the guy.

515
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: But you know, get yourself together. You can't be doing that,

516
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: especially if like you have any teams interested at all.

517
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: You need to like be P nine xting it immediately.

518
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: You're literally trying to save your career and you're having

519
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: like these massive back to back meals separated by a nap.

520
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: So it does sound delicious, and ye sounded again after

521
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: you sign though, right, and then it's like then we

522
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: go back to work, not before the wrong line of work.

523
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like he could be a comedian

524
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: instead of you know what that that's pretty funny and entertaining.

525
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: The sad part of this is that line is in

526
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: the middle of a long article really explain with good

527
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: context Trent Richardson's road back, and so that's why it

528
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: almost didn't fit. It was sort of in this idea

529
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: of like, Trent Richardson has turned his life around and

530
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: he really had realized that this is his last chance,

531
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: and he's working hard. Again and then that was just

532
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: like thrown in the middle of it as if nothing happened,

533
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: and it sort of it made you question the whole

534
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: article before that. Now, some of it I think was

535
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: what's the word illuminating on some of the pressures and

536
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: the mistakes that Richardson made as a pro. He was

537
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: basically saying he couldn't deal without without the structure of college.

538
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: NFL was too easy to get lazy, And it talked

539
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot about all the money on everyone. He said

540
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: at one point he was spending like he like paid

541
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: for five and he had a right and he was

542
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: saying he was saying he wasn't really that close to people. Basically,

543
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: he's that guy who spent a lot of money on

544
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: a lot of people taking advantage of him. Trent. This

545
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: last line, by the way, from Kevin Patrick in the

546
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: right up on around the NFL. As we saw with

547
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell's epic failure to come back, losing weight is

548
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: only part of the battle. Overcoming laziness is a lifestyle

549
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: choice necessary to keep a job. In the weakness, This

550
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: is weakness leaving the body. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

551
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I really wish we had a video on you guys

552
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: right now, Dan and Western doing synchronized bench press. You

553
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: know what, Trent Richardson just needs a whiteboard. Oh that's

554
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: I think we all could use a one should let

555
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: him podcast and go around with the little jokes that

556
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: we had put that. Put that up anyway? Popeye's Is that?

557
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Is that the number one fast food chain in America?

558
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: I love Really it's a big feak and ship Countess

559
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: fast food that sounds like something better suited for the

560
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: fast food podcast. Throw it after and an outburger that's

561
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: not really national. I'm still mad at them for their

562
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: Sunday standstill, what is the Sunday? They're not open on

563
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: Sunday because it's God's did alright, Goblin's Chicken taking a

564
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: shot at God? Here, wesser save it for the Theology podcast.

565
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: I'll save it for that for the Theology and Fast

566
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: that crossover pot hosted by Kevin Harlan with Trent Richardson

567
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: sitting in. Uh Finally, Jay Gruden is the coach of

568
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Um Yes, Alfred Morris is a former running

569
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: back of the Redskins. They let him go. He was

570
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: the uh bell cow guy for three years. There four

571
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: years there. So now there's Matt Jones in the backfield,

572
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: and West West gets very excited talking about Matt Jones,

573
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: thinking about Matt, believeing that Matt Jones. Do you know

574
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: how we know that Jake Gruden is the coach of

575
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: the Redskins. We saw him at the podium after he

576
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: won the NFC East Alright, alright, I got you roundabout

577
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: way to get a point in their West. But here

578
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: we go. Ja Brodan believes that Matt Jones can be

579
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: a workhorse type guy. Matt played well, and we're very

580
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: excited about him. He told c CSN mid Atlantic. We

581
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: let a heck of a running back and a very

582
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: productive running back go because we have Matt. That, of

583
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: course is referring to Alfred Moores. Do we believe Mattice?

584
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Jones had a nice start to last

585
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: year and then he kind of faded and kind of

586
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: disappeared a little bit. So now he's gonna be the

587
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: number one guy. I don't know, I don't know, I

588
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: don't know if we believe in I know, last September

589
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: Greg and I were very high on him because you

590
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: don't see two six ft two two or thirty five

591
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: pound backs moving like him, and then he disappeared the

592
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: rest of the year. We had fumbling problems too, and

593
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: maybe I only remember what we got really wrong, But

594
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: there was an NFL now hit somewhere in the hinter

595
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: lands where we went around the room talking can anyone

596
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: beat Matt Jones out for Rookie of the Year or

597
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: something to that that, who are the Rookie of the

598
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: Year candidates? And Matt Jones got half half the answers.

599
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: I love Jones, and that's why I thought this was interesting,

600
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: just because the comment that he's definitely our number one.

601
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: We're taking a game boy. I think it really shows

602
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: that they see that talent and they do see him

603
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: as a starter, and they're gonna roll with it. Well,

604
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: I thought, by get him in your fantasy Like by

605
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: September of last year, it was obvious Alfred Morris was

606
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: not going to be back with the Redskins. I guess

607
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: we could see if they draft anyone, but I like

608
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: giving Mat Jars number one. That's what's happening in the news. Okay,

609
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: so the gray Beards there are no O there a

610
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: team that I own in theory. By the way, I

611
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: always thought it was the graveyards, like graveyards like they're dead,

612
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: dead people, like their lives are over. Yeah, that's where

613
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: I went immediately, the Gray Beards, because there they tend

614
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: to be playing. All right. This is the conceit of

615
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: the Graybeards players that are free agents that have yet

616
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: to be signed. Now that we're what four weeks out

617
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: from the start of free agency, I think we are now,

618
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: this will be four weeks on Wednesday, And so I

619
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: put together a roster, a full roster offense and defense

620
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: and special teams. Will not complete special teams. But you know,

621
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: kicker phunter, you don't You don't have a gunner. I

622
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: don't have a gunner, but I do have a long snapper. Um,

623
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: And I take all these guys that do not have

624
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: jobs right now, but to me are useful, potentially still

625
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: pro productive players in and they are members of the Graybeards,

626
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: a team that I believe could beat the Browns and

627
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: other NFL teams if it came down to in a

628
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 1: big spot. And you can read all of you can

629
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: read the entire roster on NFL dot com slash. Is

630
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: there a certain player for a certain type, like a

631
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: personality or anything, is there anything that's really important to

632
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: your organization in terms of like when you're looking for well,

633
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: there's no Greg Hardy on the team, but I'm just

634
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: looking for guys that not only have had auction in

635
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: their past, hopefully not too far in the rear view mirror. Well,

636
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: I got some characters, some locker room guys in there.

637
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: You want to sell tickets though, you know market that

638
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't have a team for a long time, so you

639
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: always wanted some shiny names. Well you, It's funny you

640
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: should say that because I have a big announcement to make.

641
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: Of course, we were the Los Angeles Graybeards, but income

642
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: the Rams, which I thought nobody consulted the gray Beards

643
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: management or ownership about this. I should have been at

644
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: the table, I think. So now I'm sharing a market,

645
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: but potentially the Chargers coming up from the South bogus

646
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of bs. I'm not going to be in

647
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: a three team market. I don't care how big a

648
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: market l A is. So guess what, let me hear

649
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: it one more time. The gray Beards are moving to St. Louis. Wow,

650
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to declare vengeance. Oh no, no, no, no, no.

651
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Past that not really, that's big the St. Louis Gray

652
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: Beards because the people of St. Louis need that, you know,

653
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: they deserve better. So we're you know, I like it.

654
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: It's like a shot at St. Louis. What do you

655
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: think we took your team, and now we're gonna send

656
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: you people who were jettisoned by everyone else out of

657
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: this team. We're gonna send you the cast offs and rejects. Look,

658
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: let's be honest. I can guarantee they've got a better quarterback.

659
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: All right, let's go through the roster now. And by

660
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: the way, I don't think it's a shot at St. Louis.

661
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: It's given them some joy and giving them some fun.

662
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: I did run by a draft, the first draft of

663
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: this roster with the team, but some so there was

664
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: some disagreement, maybe some changes I've made. Of course, I

665
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: lose people on a regular daily basis. For instance, Nick

666
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: fairly walked out of a handshake agreement with the Graybeards

667
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: to go and and sign where do you go again,

668
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: New Orleans? Like we had a deal. Nick goes out

669
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: the door. We just talked about that on the podcast

670
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: twenty Minutes. Yeah, thank you. We also lost Brandon boy,

671
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: who I thought would have been a nice guy with

672
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: some upside. Uh cook too, I think a lot of

673
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: It's almost like they were reading your team hit players

674
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: the last. That's why I like to keep things under

675
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: the wrap until the until the big reveal, because you

676
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: know they're just gonna use you to drive up the

677
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: price exactly. And speaking of driving up the price, my

678
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is uh deep sigh. Ryan Fitzpatrick, thirty three

679
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: years old, unemployed. We had no problem giving him sixteen

680
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: million dollars per year. Uh. He doesn't know yet that

681
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: it's not real money. Uh. That looks so could get

682
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: a little messy a little later in the game. Ryan

683
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's are starters. It comes full circle back to St.

684
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: Louis people for all the way around his rookie year

685
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: under Mike Mars and then of course, um the backup.

686
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: You want to have a good a veteran west. You

687
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: want somebody in the clubhouse, um that will get along

688
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: with people. You want somebody to play a little acoustic guitar. Oh, clipboard,

689
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: Jesus is in the building, Nash feel sexiest Jesus has risen.

690
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: Charlie Whitehurst is our backup quarterback. Um, so those are

691
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Not bad right for mar That is better

692
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: than the Rams quarterback room. Uh. Next up, here's my

693
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: running backs. And I love this a little thunder and lightning,

694
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: or perhaps thunder and thunder. We'll see it. We'll see

695
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: how it works out. Aaron Foster still unattached. So he

696
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: is a member of the St. Louis Graybeards. Thirty years old,

697
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: coming off an a c L injury excuse me achilles injury.

698
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: Garrett blunt bang put him in at the goal line.

699
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: Take a little heat off the lightning. Ronnie Hillman, I yeah,

700
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: I had some talks with Ronnie, but at this point

701
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: he was not on the Garrett's good for like the

702
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: team parties. Um, just driving around in the cars before games.

703
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: He's great years older. You'll see a theme here every

704
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: year with the Graybeards. Thirty is your life is over

705
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: at thirty years old. If you're not a star player.

706
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: It's tough stuff business or just a regular person too. Yeah,

707
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: well that's true. Drop off fullback, and we are thrilled

708
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: to make this announcement because he's the only fullback like

709
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: of football fans. No John Knee in the building. Thirty

710
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: four years young. Probably will end up being poached by

711
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: the Packers at some point, but right now he's got

712
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: a home with him. Great. Yeah, well, all these ages

713
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: are as of week one, so you might be thirty

714
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: three now, but thirty four year old fullback, he's got

715
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: a lot working against him. Yeah. Well, wait till you

716
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: get to our wide receivers. Not a lot of burners.

717
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: We won't be taking the top off any off defenses

718
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: this year. And Kwan Bolden years, Yeah, come up over

719
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: and over again and Kwan Bolden. Uh. One receiver, Percy Harvin,

720
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have through all of September. There's your lightning

721
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: for for a month. And then we're gonna put him

722
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: on I R. He'll get I R even on a

723
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: fake team. Uh. James Jones might be slower than the slot.

724
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: Have some fun with him over there. And uh and

725
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: then Andre Johnson because we gotta gotta put somebody on

726
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: the media guide. Somebody's gotta be on the front of

727
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: the media. That's a good point five years old. So

728
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Bolden and Johnson are my outside receivers, both thirty five.

729
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: It's problem problem though, I think you could put Harvard

730
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: on the outside just in this. I'm trying to figure

731
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: out a way for him to note to get hurt.

732
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: I also want to put him on a spot of

733
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: the field it would be less injuries. I haven't figured

734
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: that out yet. Is there any teams that the this

735
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: receiver group would be better than too slow? It's it's

736
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: a pretty brutal Cleveland. I matched up against clod and Harvard.

737
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: You know you could get it all right? Yeah, but

738
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: if Josh Gordon's back God's tight end and oh we lost.

739
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: We lost Jared Cook. That hurt because I thought Jared

740
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: had a real chance to be somebody I could revitalize

741
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: his career with Ryan Fitzpatrick's not gonna happen, but I

742
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: have Vernon Davis. Would have angered the St. Louis fans,

743
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 1: though I think they're that Jared Cook's gone. Vernon Davis

744
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: thirty two years old by week one, hasn't done a

745
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: damn thing in four years, but maybe last. It's basically

746
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: your last chance because if you fail with the Graybeards,

747
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: he's ready. I think he's ready for it. And then

748
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: I have as his backup Owned Daniels. So I basically

749
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: brought back Denver's tight end group from last years Moses there. Uh,

750
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: and he did some things. Daniels did some things with

751
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's corpse last year. So thirty three years old,

752
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: there wasn't just two big catches and championship. If he

753
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: doesn't beat Jamie Collins one one a couple of times,

754
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: Patriots might have won the Super Bowl hily illegal. So

755
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: this doesn't sound um all that sounds pretty decent so far, right,

756
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: not not great, a little slow, but some some nice

757
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: name brands. This is where the gray beards get into

758
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: some trouble because the offensive line is going to get

759
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: beat like a drum. It's hard to put together an

760
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: entire line. Basically on April one, it's gonna be like

761
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: the Mike Smith found I disagree, but go ahead again.

762
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: Average age about thirty years old. Here, Uh, Louis Fasquez,

763
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: that's a good guard. Right, we're gonna play on the

764
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: right tack. Okay, Ben Grubbs at right guard, goes out there.

765
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: That's fine. Stefan with Snowski, that's fine. That's center. Jarry

766
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: Evans thirty three years young, left guard, and uh, you

767
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: know this one was a little controversial. I'm gonna kick

768
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: the tires on an old All Pro he's been out

769
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: of the league mostly for almost two years. Jake Long

770
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: new five years ago this line would be phenomenal that

771
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: Jarry Evans Ben Grubs were making pools together in New Orleans.

772
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: I think this line is fine four fifths of it.

773
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: You continuing to go back to the Jake Long well

774
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: for the graybeards is curious. I think he was. He was.

775
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: We looked this up today. He only played eleven snaps

776
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: last year. He was on, but just sat on the back.

777
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: He's he's rested. His body is like the Bill Badies.

778
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: By the way, how old do you think Jake Long is?

779
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: Sixty four? I know the it's only years old. Sneaky young.

780
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: Oh he's a great He's he's had surgeries. He's had

781
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: a lot of surgeries. That's all right. They're not really

782
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: gonna be moving. He's basically going out there with Brian

783
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: Baldinger's body right now. Now, now let's move to the defense.

784
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: So that's the offense, the defense. Um, I really like

785
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: my interior. A line before fairly walked out of the

786
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: handshake agreement, he said his word was as strong as oak.

787
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: Apparently not, Nick uh So. What we're left with is

788
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: Jason Hatcher, Uh, pot roast, knighton, Mike DeVito and old Jet.

789
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: You like to get some old Jets on the team. Uh,

790
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: real workhorse and Henry Milton. Uh, Henry not bad. If

791
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: I had fairly I would that's not too bad. I

792
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: think I told you to get Melton off there. I

793
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: don't remember who I I just feel like at this

794
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: point Melton's He's had a lot of chance. It's gonna

795
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: be twenty nine. I factor in this with some of

796
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: these guys. Edge Rushers. Aldon Smith is gonna take a

797
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: chance on Alden py Rose also gives you some commercials

798
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: he does. Aldon Smith, I'm gonna take a shot at him.

799
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: The youngest guy in the roster, twenty six years old,

800
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 1: um Dwight Freeney thirty six, coming off a decent season

801
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: in Arizona, and uh Kroy Bierman former Falcons Pass Rusher

802
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: mostly put him on there because he's on one of

803
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: the terrible fan reality shows my wife watches. I just

804
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: found out about this show. What's it called Real Wives?

805
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: It Don't be Tardy with Kim Zolac. I think it's

806
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: a spinoff program for that stuff. Yeah, it's a little

807
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,959
Speaker 1: tip of the cap to my lovely wife. And he's

808
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: had some moments in his careers. Thirty years old. I

809
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: think he's done. Also had an achilles injury. I believe

810
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: in his past. True inside linebacker. Car concerned about Alvin

811
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: Smith's multiple suspensions absolutely, but basically talk to him. We

812
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: had a nice conversation. Uh. Greg Hardy was also on

813
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: the board. But I said, no, no, no, no, no,

814
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: well't do it, can't do it. Won't bring to St. Louis.

815
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: I like it. And but Alvin Smith, I said, I'm

816
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: gonna give him a shot, so we'll see what happens.

817
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting to buy in, like inside linebacker. Uh, Carlos

818
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: Dansby Dimiko, Ryan's Donald Butler Demiko, great guy, love this Warmer.

819
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. It was ten years ago, but

820
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: you know he was. Dansby was second team All Pro

821
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: one year. It looks like an NFL. Don't ask Kevin A. C.

822
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: About Donald Butler. Yeah, oh, that's a headline from Kevin A.

823
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: C's a column, Donald Butler defrauded Chargers. Have my eyes

824
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: out on him. We're gonna we're gonna work with him

825
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: to make sure he stays. That was a good article.

826
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: Is basically Donald Butler got paid and then come qutely

827
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: stopped trying. What now he's humbled and he's younger seven

828
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: years old Zack Brown and Justin Durant on the outside

829
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: linebacker like Zach Brown. I'm surprised he's still a free agent. Well,

830
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: don't tell anybody cornerback all right now, I got I'm

831
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna tell you a little bit about my secondary and

832
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm nervous because no one is under the age of thirty.

833
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: So speed once again is gonna come back to haunt us.

834
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: Uh Crimarti, Antonio Crimarti. And this is all on the

835
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: law of Crow, which is have kids every year, but

836
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: also you're good one year, crappy one year, so this

837
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: would be technically potentially his good year then at the

838
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: end eventually, but yeah, we're gonna put Leon Hall in

839
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 1: the slot thirty one years old. And then this is

840
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: asking a lot of a guy that's thirty five and

841
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: coming off a torn a c l We're gonna put

842
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: Charles Tillman on the outside against some fast physical receivers

843
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: and see how it works out. It's an interesting can't

844
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: judge a man's heart? Well, what you've done? And I

845
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: think it's savvy. Is you've surrounded some of the players

846
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: like Nick Fairley and Aldin Smith with some Walter Payton

847
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: Man of the Year candidates An Kwan Bolden, Charles Tillman.

848
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: I believe was a winner. These are men of the

849
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 1: highest character. To make note of that for my write

850
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: up End of the year. Uh. And the safeties this

851
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: is this is a dream come true for the entire organization.

852
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: Roman Harper, who always felt like you should be on

853
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: the Gray Beards because he's been pray for five years.

854
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: He is going to be one of safety is thirty

855
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: three years young, DeShawn Goldson get a little name, Brandon

856
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: There thirty one years old, and Reggie Nelson thirty two

857
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: years old. Those are my What about the coaching staff,

858
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: my head coach, Well, let me get to the kicker. Okay,

859
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: we've had a healthy Adan Smith in there. There are

860
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: worst defenses maybe in the NFL than that defense. I

861
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know, what do you think was I think they're

862
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: incredibly slow? Yeah, well that's a little slow. A lot

863
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: of heart though. Uh, kicker, Greg, the legs are line

864
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: now anybody named on your team right now? Greg's the big, bigger,

865
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: biggest problem. Is not his nickname, which is great. But

866
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: he was ten of twenty last year field goal attempts.

867
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: That is sixty six point six percent. That is not good. Yeah, Greg, Yeah,

868
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: Greg the Leg is a great nickname, Greg the Leg.

869
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: So come join us, Greg, Greg the Leg. Who'sh your coach?

870
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: I know West wanted Greg the Leg on the top

871
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine until I pointed out the stats. It sounds

872
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: like puncher Brian Anger. Just like his name. His free agent.

873
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: He's signed with someone, did he? I think the Bucks.

874
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: He's forever known as the guy drafted ahead of four

875
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: spots ahead of Russell Wilson. That's right. So jag Arsands

876
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: are like, why don't we take a bunter in the

877
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: third round? Thank you Jean Smith. And finally my long snapper.

878
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: And Patra was pumped pumped up about this. He was

879
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: not happy. Don Muhlbach, oh yeah, fourteen years has been

880
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: a steady special teams ace for the Lions, jump sides.

881
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: Now he comes to St. Louis, He's gonna be our

882
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: long snapper. Thirty five years young. He's in that John

883
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: Finstein book. I was reading from two thousand and four

884
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: Ravens and it's like a guy that cut in training camp.

885
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm not up to speed on all my long snappers.

886
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: He found his niche folks um and now he's a

887
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: gray beard. And finally, maybe you guys could take a

888
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: guess who the head coaches that just made the higher um.

889
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: It's very good because we get to take him out

890
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: of a kind of a toxic situation UM where it

891
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: was kind of like a little uncomfortable the situation he

892
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: was in. Tom coflin out of the facility, stop going

893
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: to Johniance to get on the elliptical machine, get out

894
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: of their building, come coach for us. And I feel

895
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: like he's just watching Macado and like faking like the

896
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: weird Robert de Niro gesture with his hands to his eyes,

897
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: and we gotta get that situation. So basically, it's two

898
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: birds with one stone. Let Ben McAdoo coach in peace.

899
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: And then we welcome a two time Super Bowl champion,

900
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: borderline Hall of Fame coach, hyper motivated at age seventy

901
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Play caller Mike Shanahan. Get Mike

902
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: in the building, Come on in, Mike, me NEI defensive boss.

903
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: That's a team. That's the St. Louis graybeards excited about it.

904
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: If I gave him a full training camp and nobody,

905
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, half the team probably get hurt. But do

906
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: you think I could beat any NFL team? I want

907
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: to see drushers going around Jake Long all day long.

908
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: It's a little turn style I don't have. The defense

909
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: is bad? What what? What would our record be? Honestly,

910
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: it neither be O in sixteen or are? I think

911
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: team speed is a serious I think see yeah, maybe

912
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: it depends. Coughlin is a good asset. I think I

913
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: think your ownership would be great. So that would be

914
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: if Percy Harvin's stayed healthy for sixteen games. I think

915
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: you would have to feature him as your offensive focal point. Yeah,

916
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: it's not going to I'm already assuming he's going on.

917
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: That's the only way you can win, because no one

918
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: else has speed on your team. Yeah, that's five and eleven.

919
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of things go the right way. Seven

920
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: or nine? Oh what's seven or nine? And nine and seven? Playoffs?

921
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: How did seven and nine just miraculously become nine and seven?

922
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's just the bounce of the ball. St. Louis.

923
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: You immediately went to seven and nine two ships. All right,

924
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: let's get him on the phone now. Lots of stuff

925
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: to talk about with our New Jersey correspondent. He's based,

926
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: he he works out of a haunted house that he owns.

927
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: He pays a mortgage on. But here's the big news,

928
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: Connor or on the line getting married on Saturday. Hubba hubba.

929
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: Are you ready Connor to become a different type of human?

930
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: I am. I am so ready for the for the

931
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: next phase of life. It's going to be an amazing experience. Um,

932
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: you sound somber, though, that's just because I got into

933
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: like a fight with the limo company like six minutes

934
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: before you called me. So I'm just cooling off a

935
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: little bit. But everything's fine. I would not want to

936
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,479
Speaker 1: be on the other side of Connor in uh full

937
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 1: wedding beast mode. Yeah, because I did. This limo driver

938
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: is getting a nearfall. Well, I've heard stories without naming names,

939
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: some wars that Connor got in on the New York

940
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: sports beat with other beat writers. He's not somebody that's

941
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: going to back down from the challenge or what he

942
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: sees as a slight. So when the limos coming out,

943
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to bang you, You're banging back, right. I mean,

944
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: I feel like multiple pickups shouldn't be a problem since

945
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: there's a groom and a bride. But things amazed me

946
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: every day, you know. So it's right, yeah, so amazing.

947
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: We're pulling back the curtain a little bit earlier today

948
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: on our instant messenger client that we use, which I

949
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: will not reference by name. It's a decent product. It's

950
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: not great. I've dealt with better. I've dealt with worse.

951
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: I put it right in about a five out of ten. Uh. Anyway,

952
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: Connor and I were talking about it, and we were,

953
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, we were talking about what's going on, like, oh, kinda,

954
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: we haven't had you on in a while, is there

955
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: anything new? How about your Madden team? And and kind

956
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: of dropped like three gems out of nowhere, and I said, well,

957
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: stop stop talking. Stop I am ng and let's talk

958
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: about the pot. So let's talk about your Madden franchise.

959
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: And for those that maybe haven't heard Connor talk about

960
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: his Madden team, um, he he plays in the franchise mode.

961
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: I believe that's what it's called, Connor right, And it

962
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 1: allows you to not only you know, play full seasons

963
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: and all that you actually get to control every aspect

964
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: of the organization, from personnel right down to how much

965
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: French fries cost and where the team plays. So the

966
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: last time we caught up with you, who had moved

967
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots to Portland's and rename them the

968
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: River Hogs. And the team's um star player was who

969
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: at the time, it was Nile Davis. Nile Davis the

970
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: running back, and you had another historic season. The only thing,

971
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: the one constant is historic record breaking seasons, just both

972
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: from uh, individual statistics and also team success. Right, yeah,

973
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we've won the Super Bowl every

974
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: year since two thousand thirteen. Uh, we're now uh we're

975
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: now coasting into week two of the season. So uh,

976
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about our chances to take it

977
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: home again. Ever, have you ever thought of stepping up

978
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: the competition a level? You know that it's almost on

979
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: an expert level. Greg scenting out here, I mean, you know,

980
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: has Bill Belichick thought about getting a harder NFL? I

981
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: mean there are something that I just can't do. Uh,

982
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: and I'm so good that I mean, maybe if he

983
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: wants to come in and sort of create an executive

984
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: that could potentially be smarter than me. I don't know

985
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: if that's possible though, all right, and Ei ei take

986
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: that as a challenge. Um, alright, So here's the thing though,

987
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: since despite being so dominant, you have again made some

988
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: major changes to your organization, do you want to just

989
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: take us through that, um briefly, Well, our big push

990
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: this year is going to be to acquire at least

991
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: twenty of the thirty two first round draft picks, and um,

992
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: we have eleven at the moment, and uh, you know

993
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: I have eleven first round draft picks. And can I

994
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: just say in Maddens they have like a faux Twitter

995
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: where like Adam Schefter and like Ross Tucker, and like

996
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pundits that comment on the moves

997
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: and Schefter says something like ho hum, like, uh, you

998
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: know river Hogs trade. Um, I think it was like

999
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson or Kyle use Check a fullback and and

1000
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: but what do you failed to mention was that I

1001
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: got a first round pick out of it. I don't

1002
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: think that's so home. I think that's a fantastic maneuver.

1003
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: On wait, that's like in that awful movie Draft Day

1004
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: when the Jaguars are getting pilfered by Costner. How are

1005
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: they accepting these deals? So what I keep doing is like,

1006
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: if the team needs a fullback, I'll offer them like

1007
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: a fullback and a third round pick for a first

1008
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: round pick, and then just keep doing that over and

1009
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: over again, so like I have eleven first round picks,

1010
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: but then no picks for the next This is an

1011
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: amazing strategy, Connor. This is why, by the way, conspiracy

1012
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: theorist everybody relax about, you know, robots and AI and

1013
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 1: the idea of machines taking over. Look at that horrible

1014
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: moves them. I like that Connor is really now trying

1015
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: to win, just despite Adam Schefter. You know that's up

1016
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: there in his house, Oh Stefters, you know, doubting us.

1017
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: That's got to be in the rivers on who's the

1018
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: coach of the river Hawks right now? He can he

1019
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: can bring that up before a big game. Dick, What

1020
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: else is going on with the river Hawks and the

1021
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: other I have a question. You hinted that Nio Davis

1022
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: is no longer your offensive focal point. Who's the star

1023
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: of the show these days? Well, I was talking to

1024
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: Chip and uh, you know, we were kind of comparing

1025
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: strategies and uh, you know we had talked about sort

1026
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: of utilization of Yeah, yeah, I just call him Chips

1027
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: and uh, but you know, just the utilization of the

1028
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: power spread, which is an offense we both run really effectively,

1029
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: and we're kind of moving away and making it more

1030
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: of a quarterback based offense. Which is why I took

1031
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: some big steps to acquire both McCown brothers because I

1032
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: think that uh I call it um deception perception, and

1033
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: it's really hard to tell which one is on the field. Uh,

1034
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: it adds a whole new element to our offense. Wait,

1035
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: so teams are getting thrown off by Luke for as

1036
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: Josh and then to given Mo when it's affecting how

1037
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: they scheme and strategize and wow, totally Yeah. I mean,

1038
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: like rerecor Ryan said when he got tebow, if you're

1039
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: forcing another opponent to even depend ten minutes preparing for

1040
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: the other m account, you're winning the battle. And so

1041
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: that's whenever, whenever you can follow the coaching moves of

1042
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: the two thousand twelve in New York Jets, you gotta do. Connor,

1043
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: do you have any like promotional events planned for the

1044
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: river Hawks this year? I know that was sort of

1045
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: like an initiative that you have talked about the last

1046
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: time we talked to you. Yeah, it was sort of

1047
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: a strategic misstep when you're putting a billion dollar stadium

1048
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 1: in downtown Portland, Uh, with the team built around Nile

1049
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: Davis and the Nile Mile shopping center. Uh. After trading him,

1050
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: the kind of some of the promotional aspects of that

1051
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: got thrown out of whack a little bit. So in

1052
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: the meantime, we've kind of just been raising popcorn prices,

1053
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: wing prices just to sort of make up the nut

1054
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: on that. So, you know, it's tough, but it's it's

1055
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: my job. Hey, Connor, how about the criticism that's out

1056
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: there that you lack loyalty as an owner? Wow? Um, well,

1057
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean I would ask, um, you know, some of

1058
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: our more tenured players. Um, you know, I think that

1059
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: coach Dicka is thrilled with the direction that the franchise

1060
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: is going in. We offered coach Marona chance to stay

1061
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: on as an executive assistant, and the clients. There's a

1062
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that I can't handle, uh, you know,

1063
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: but I can't handle losing the most So there you go.

1064
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: That's a great That was a great Madden update there,

1065
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to check in with that team because

1066
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: you never know what's going to happen next. That was

1067
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: a great owner spin non answer right there. Yeah, after

1068
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: all right, finally before we let you go, Connor, and

1069
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: thank you so much for giving us this time as always,

1070
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: especially during you know, one of the more hectic weeks

1071
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: in a young man's life. As I can attest to

1072
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: UM Horrible Movies, which is a series that UH launched,

1073
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: UM ostensibly launched a couple of months back, where you

1074
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: were going to review UM all of the top one

1075
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: movies on some websites a f I s top one

1076
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: movies of all time. You're gonna go through them because

1077
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: you felt you were lacking some culture in the terms

1078
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, the cinematic world. UM, where

1079
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: are we with that? Have you been able to plow

1080
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: through any films or do you have you written anything

1081
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: up there? Are you ready to talk about this? Where

1082
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: we at? UM? I think we're ready for kind of

1083
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: an earnest launch, probably in a few weeks. But I

1084
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: will tell you guys that I am halfway through Citizen

1085
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: Kane and and let me just say it is so stupid.

1086
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 1: So um, just looking forward to talking with you guys

1087
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: about that. Uh. I have no idea who made that list,

1088
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: but so far everyone talks really loud. Uh. The movie

1089
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: lacks any sort of special effects and it's hella dump.

1090
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where we're at right now. Is

1091
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: that the only Davy you've seen on the It feels

1092
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: like you need to get through the whole thing before

1093
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: making a finalist. And he has a process. Think anybody's

1094
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: watching nineties movies for the special effects. Well maybe maybe

1095
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: that's part of the problem. Connor is a millennial alright,

1096
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: So we're gonna wait. We're gonna wait on that. We're

1097
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna stick a pin in horrible movies for now. We'll

1098
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: get back to on that. Uh, Madden Team update, a lot,

1099
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: a lot to digest there. We'll have to listen to

1100
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: that again. I have to take notes on this at

1101
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: this point to keep up with everything that's going on

1102
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: with the river Hogs and uh, good luck buddy with

1103
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,840

00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: Have fun, Connor, Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1: miles away on my honeymoon. Very nice, and it is

1107
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: the final step really in the holy Trinity of adulthood

1108
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: for Connor. Now because he had to live in fiance.

1109
