00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast? How much do we want

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: to babe these people? Welcome to another addition of the

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan hands As

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: I am coming to you a roof build of heroes,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Wesley, and Gregg Rose Atal What is up? Boys?

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Hey d? What sound supposed to be? Was my favorite?

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Money dropping Yeah? I like I like the idea of

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: now he's just gonna start coming after us with his

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: own personal takes? Is it us? Though? I feel like

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: it's a pull quote from a previous episode that none

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: of us remember. I feel like I've said that exact

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: quote at least twenty times on this show over the use.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: But if Money does start getting agro, it makes sense.

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: It's he's been getting He's been doing this labor for

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: free for about six years. Yeah, it seems like it

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: would break a labor law at some point to not

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: be compensating a contracted employee to do extra work around

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the office for us. I want to raise that update

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: the flagpole. As West leaks to say, this is the

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: post super Bowl calendar. I was out a week ago.

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Mr our Thursday show, West, You'll be out this Thursday. Correct? Um?

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: For your baby moon. I'm not sure if that was

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: supposed to go public, but yes, it's out, it's out.

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: Can't come back. I mean, we could pull it back

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: right now, we could do the old classics. Stop down. Well,

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those deals where you

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: just take what's coming to you and I'll take the

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: punishment if I have any coming. But I mean, I'm

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: not the one who created the baby moon. No, and

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to be quite frankly, I'd like to know

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: who did create the baby moon because you also, and

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it's on your radar that you have a quote unquote

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: push gift to uh procure for your lovely wife. Lukisha Well,

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: two phrases that have entered my life in the last year,

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: and I'm of the opinion they probably entered American pop

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: culture within the last couple of years. These phrases did

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: not exist a few years ago. They are made up,

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: like the couple shower was made up in the nineteen nineties,

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: just to satisfy the fact that women are taking much

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: more control than men in relationships than they were back

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: in the day. Whatever happened to Gary Cooper, he died

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: as Cooper getting a push gift because here's the thing.

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: We're married. Now, okay, we have limited unless you were

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: you're well off. We're coming from the same financial pool here.

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something as a young father, as

46
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: you guys all are, Um, it's expensive. Should we be

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: buying a big hunk of jewelry when a child's on

48
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: the way. I don't buy jewelry as a general the

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: gift thing, I like that idea the baby. I think

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: people are doing that somewhat. I don't like putting like

51
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a name and in a requirement on the baby, like

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: you probably went away with your wives while she was

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: pregnant at some point, just to take a break, because

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: that's what people do. It may not have been branded

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: yet the right it's it wasn't. It wasn't hey because

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: you're pregnant. It's like, hey, this is our last chance

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to do something maybe for a little bit. I gotta

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: get that going before the woman is pregnant, though, if

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: you really want to go on a vacation and let loose,

60
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: but then you don't know, suddenly you're pregnant and bang.

61
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: If the like that, I guess the gift that it's

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: tricky because it's it's like, you know, she's giving birth, Like,

63
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: what gift is really going to measure up? And you

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: can't give her a Barnes and Noble gift card or something. Well,

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: i'd say, what are you telling? And I get, I

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: get you can't really match the baby. I guess that

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: you're creating these gifts about everything. But a push gift

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: is a gift on top of the fact that a

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: new life has been created. What are you telling the

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: daughter or son that's arriving to the earth. You're good,

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: but actually we need to get a trinket for it.

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Now the women do, they do amazing stuff, but it's

73
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: like we're attacking a gift on top of new life.

74
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: What are you telling the child? Like psychologically twenty years

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: later that I mean, it's all fair, Mark that you

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: bring it up. Wes. I'll throw out one for you.

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: I know you're a guy. As you get older, you

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: like to you know, sit back up jazz See what

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: See how Lakisha likes it if you give her like

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: a nice jazz mix c D a gift named West

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: a CD like here are some jazz songs I like

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: that I ripped onto a CD and here it is

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: for you. You can make a playlist. I feel like

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I've already given physical data. I feel like I've already

85
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: given her progeny and that's enough. But but you know,

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: this is one of those you gotta pick your battles things,

87
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: and I don't feel like something. Unfortunately you didn't. You

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: just picked one. I think because she listens to the

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: podcast and I don't think she's gonna like the previous

90
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: three minutes here. Yeah, but you do give her. She

91
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: doesn't care. I think your battles you're allowed you want.

92
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: But you're doing everything she asked every single time in

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: this this arrangement. I'm not hearing you win any battles.

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: So oh, I don't take those the battles that I win,

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't take public jazz mixed. That's why I walked

96
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: into the newsroom today and Keisha immediately got on my

97
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: case for giving her some sort of grief. I don't

98
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: even rememb member in the last show. So I just

99
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: want to say, I'm on the side of the push gift.

100
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: So you're pandering once. It's just it's the typical Greg

101
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Leverpool pander to whoever is controversial, and hope it doesn't

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: seem totally fraudulent. Yeah, that's exact opposite of what Greg

103
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: told me on several walks home from bars and ouch

104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: and Greg, you're here. You you're potentially in the mix

105
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: of jury duty. But do you think the and so

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: far they haven't needed you. Do you think they're aware

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: that you were by nature contrary? And I think even

108
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: you would say you like to mix it up and

109
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm not tell the story from both sides. You're even

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: not a contrarian. On top of um, do you think

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: the l A court systems like, we don't want that

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: guy in a jury room. I hope we gotta. We

113
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: gotta have light of cases. We gotta keep moving through

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: the system. Here. Well, I I did get called for

115
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: a big dog biting trial just four years ago, so

116
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: they my reputation. I guess I didn't perceive me then,

117
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: But I gotta I got good a deal from someone

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: to get out of jury duty, which I had never

119
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: heard before. And I think this is a good advice. Uh,

120
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: just stare at the lawyer. Just just stare them down,

121
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Just stare them down while they're going through everything to

122
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: the point where it's like awkward, and they they'll they'll

123
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: never pick you like people are like, Oh, I'm gonna

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: like pretend that I'm you know, you know, really angry

125
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: about like, you know, whatever the case, niece right exactly.

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: It's like, but you don't want to do that. I

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: don't want to be you don't want to be lying.

128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: You don't want to be making up a story you're acting.

129
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: But this idea where he says, if you just stare

130
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: down the lawyers and just be weird about it, they'll

131
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: just be like, I don't want this guy. Tell us

132
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: how that goes? All right? Well, good luck, good luck?

133
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: All right, today's show. Uh, we're spending the QUB car rself.

134
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: What's been it's been a bit, we haven't done this

135
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: in a while, and what how fun is it? Ricky,

136
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Let's spend the QB carousel? Because has there ever been

137
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: a better QB carousel this time of year? I say

138
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: no way, especially the news that became official yesterday of

139
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Now he's definitely in the mix. So maybe

140
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: a game. Maybe we'll we'll see how how close we

141
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: can get to nailing all these guys. Maybe we'll we'll

142
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: kind of right now, make it. What's that mark? I

143
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean if I'm just driving around and

144
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: I heard just the last sentence that you, yeah, what

145
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: I say? Erica understands. She she played the appropriate centli

146
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: So I'm mature. Um. So we're gonna go through every player, UH,

147
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: talk about what makes sense logically when they're they the

148
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: carousel stops, where they could head, where they should head,

149
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: where they will head before we do that. Some news

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I plan to play football, So yeah, I mean again,

151
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: where where that's going to be. I think we'll get

152
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: sorted out over the next what is it, three months?

153
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: I guess I've never been in this position. I don't

154
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: I usual don't even know when the league youre starts

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: and when all those things are, so we'll just kind

156
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: of see again. I'm very thankful for the sixteen years

157
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: and and and if there's another, I'll be thankful for

158
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: that one. Ah. Yes, those are the words of Philip

159
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Rivers at the conclusion of the regular season UH over

160
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: a month ago. And yes, the path yet remains completely

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: clear for the veteran quarterback. After the team and Rivers

162
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: mutually agreed that the quarterback will enter free agency and

163
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: will not return to the Chargers. The team announced that

164
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: on Monday, and UH statement went as follows from Tom

165
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: to LESCo the GM. After stepping back a bit from

166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: last season, we reconnected with Philip and has represent representatives

167
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: to look at how the twenty nineteen played out, assess

168
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: our future goals, evaluate the current state of the roster,

169
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: and see if there was a path forward that made

170
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: sense for both parties. As we talked through various scenarios,

171
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: it became apparent that it would be best for Philip

172
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: in the Charges to turn the page and what truly

173
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: has been a remarkable run. Greg. I know you have

174
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: been outspoken on social media that maybe the Chargers haven't

175
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: given Philip Rivers the respect he deserves. How did you

176
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: like how yesterday played out? I mean they tried to

177
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: go out in their mind in front of it. We

178
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: already kind of knew this was happening. There wasn't much

179
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: more they could do. The statement that that ownership gave

180
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: was very strange. Um, but I think it sort of

181
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I guess at this point how how they

182
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: handled it, they clearly wanted to go in a different direction.

183
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: Rivers seems like he's fine with that. One thing that

184
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: really struck me was Eric Weddles comments that he was

185
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: really excited when he left the Chargers to find out

186
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: what or other organizations are like. And I think Philip

187
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Rivers has probably that instinct with him too. He's talked

188
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: to a lot of X Chargers who have played on

189
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: other teams, and it's a case where it really is mutual.

190
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chargers didn't want him, but I think

191
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is ready to at least see what see

192
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: what's behind door number two, if there's anything good. I

193
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: think that one of the biggest misperceptions out there is

194
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: that because he's got this house in Florida, he's definitely

195
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: going to a Florida team. And Mike Garrett Folo touched

196
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: on this. People actually think that people believe that he's

197
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: going to the Bucks because he's got a house in

198
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: and Mike Garrit Folo talked about he said, I've been

199
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: told to ignore geography altogether with Philip Rivers that it

200
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: really means nothing to me. The Colts seem to make

201
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: the most sense. But I'm sort of interested in this

202
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: because there was a scenario if one or two plays

203
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: goes differently in that game where Tyrod Taylor is warming

204
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: up on the sideline ready to go in for him,

205
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: there's a scenario where he's benched for the final two

206
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: months of the season. Hence his value was perceived a

207
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: little bit differently on the free agent market. This is

208
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: the guy that Charges have and ready to move on

209
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: from for a while. We we watched that moment in

210
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: that game together, the Chargers game, and I always felt

211
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: like there was a lacking and a lagging support from

212
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn and the coaching staff down the stretch, and

213
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: we talked about what does Belichick want Tom Brady back.

214
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Lynn was a factor in this too,

215
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: and it just strikes me that and Greg, I think

216
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: he brought this up last week and it is a

217
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: very Chargers esque. Um San Diego into l a transition thing,

218
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: but the departure of Nick Foles from Philadelphia after one

219
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: amazing one or two amazing seasons there, I get what

220
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: he did was ten times more news were the and

221
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: drawing more magnetized hot takes and opinions and what happens

222
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: next than this where he sort of floats on from

223
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: a team he's been the ultimate iron man from from

224
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: for a decade and a half. Because they've lost their

225
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: fans in between, and you know, he's a San Diego guy.

226
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: It is crazy that there's a lot of stats that

227
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: are inflated because of the era you play in. You know,

228
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Rivers is six I think in touchdowns and yards all time. Uh,

229
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: but he's also ethan wins and not a huge QB wins.

230
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, but that that's not a stat that's inflated

231
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: because of era, and it really does show how how

232
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: long and how much he's played and how much they've won.

233
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: The charges that he's the eighth most winning quarterback in

234
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: NFL history is kind of When I saw that, I

235
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: was almost I was shocked by that, But it makes

236
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: sense considering how many straight games he's played. I'll miss him.

237
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: I'll miss him if he doesn't get it. He seems

238
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: like he has a decent, at least a chance to retire.

239
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I feel really, I think he has no interest in retiring,

240
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: But I just don't know. And we'll we'll get to

241
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the wheel if there's definitely a starting job therefore him

242
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: that the carousel. Is he gonna want to keep playing

243
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: to be someone's backup. I don't know. Here's a what

244
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: if for the ages. I know this is kind of

245
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Dave as he's getting a job. I'm guaranteed that guarantee

246
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: is getting a job. Maybe some of the lack of

247
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: starting job fan Fair save for the carousel um is

248
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: because obviously you made the point about San Diego never

249
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl. If he wins the Super Bowl

250
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: with the Chargers in two thousand seven, I wonder if

251
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: there's like a whole other universe where that the what

252
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: comes from winning a Super Bowl and the fans swell

253
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: and all that stuff if they ever leave San Diego. Well,

254
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen, you know, what Peyton Manning did

255
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: for the city of Indianapolis, what Brett Farve did for

256
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay, things like that, where you know there are

257
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: massive economic impacts. I can't think of a quarterback leaving

258
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: a team who's done more for the team where the

259
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: team did not even nearly enough for Philip Rivers compared

260
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: to what he did for them, and that he leaves,

261
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: and it's like a fart in the wind. It's like

262
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: there couldn't be it could ride up press release. It's

263
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to defend the Charges, but I will

264
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: say this that they are in a different position than

265
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: you can't. Like, look at what the Giants, which just

266
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: did with Eli and be like, well look at the

267
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: they gave him a press garbage and threw him a parade. Well,

268
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Eli was done, he was retiring. It's a little awkward

269
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: because Rivers they don't want him to be their quarterback anymore,

270
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: but he wants to go be a star quarterback for

271
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: somebody else, And that's a little tricky. But you would

272
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: hope that when this is all over, whether it's in

273
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: a year or two or three, who knows with Rivers

274
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: that there is eventually a press conference and the Chargers

275
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: do it the right way. But I guess we'll have

276
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: to wait to see. I mean that the crazy set

277
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: in terms of lack of support. As I went back

278
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: and looked at the PF pass blocking grades last few years,

279
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: the charges were thirtieth and thirty first the last two years,

280
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: which is one reason why I think Tom Brady should

281
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: not go to the Chargers if if there is interested.

282
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: As says Uh, they haven't had an above average pass

283
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: blocking offensive line of carding to PF since two thousand seven.

284
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's twelve straight seasons of UH of inadequacy.

285
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: That's it's pretty it's pretty amazing that he held up

286
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: and that he succeeded as much as he did with

287
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: with that in what was mostly a bad running game, too,

288
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: did his and maybe the metrics you're referring to it

289
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: could be explained, But did he as a one of

290
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: the most classic stationary capacitors of his generation, maybe the

291
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: prototypical guy. Would that lead to your offensive line numbers

292
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: being hurt because he wasn't somebody that was able to

293
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: move or are those things? Shouldn't it definitely? Well, in

294
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: PFF's grades, they would say no, because they're grading individuals

295
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: that play to play basis and Rivers I think it's

296
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: best trade is I think his defining trade is how

297
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: good he is versus pressure. I don't know if there's

298
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: a single quarterback of the last twenty years who stands

299
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: in there and throws against pressure, Well, he doesn't take

300
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks. Stone Age Ponies tend to make

301
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: their lines look less attractive, but I don't care. He

302
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: was not a guy who took a lot of sacks.

303
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: Though Stone Age Ponies were in a different era now

304
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: than we were five years ago and ten years ago.

305
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks like Rivers, Tom Brady, Peyton, Manning, Eli Manning all

306
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: standing Stone Age Ponies by your definition, made their offensive

307
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: lines look so much better because of what they did

308
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: before the snap. Well, so there's a difference between Dano

309
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: has a quick release and he's a stone age pony,

310
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: then Joe Flacco just getting massive curred because he also

311
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: can't read the field quick enough and he and he

312
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: cannot move and he cannot save himself. Joe Flacker was

313
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: never in Rivers and Brady and the Mannings class as

314
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: far as pre snap recognition. Like, when I say stone

315
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: age pony, I'm not exclusively talking about like top ten

316
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time. I'm talking about slow guys who

317
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: can't move in the pocket, whether they suck or they're great. Well,

318
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: those guys aren't coming out of college anymore. Those guys

319
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: basically don't exist anymore. And I think that's one of

320
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: the reasons why this is the most extreme buyer's market

321
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: we've ever seen at quarterback is because the game has changed.

322
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: And where about five years behind the curve. Where five

323
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: years ago NFL type said we can't trust offensive linemen

324
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: to come into the league anymore in block defensive lineman,

325
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: and now five years later they're saying we can't trust

326
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who can't make the first guy miss on pass rush.

327
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: And I think teams are looking for a totally different

328
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: quarterback now than they were five years ago. I was

329
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: out of town this weekend West m but you know

330
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I stayed attached to the West coast via the Graham.

331
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: I just gotta say that slow motion walk on Abbot Kitty,

332
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: Well that was something else. Who with the with the

333
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: jackets slung over your shoulder and the aviators of the sun,

334
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: you know, shining off the aviators and Lakisha with that

335
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: luscious Beyonce Lemonade hair. Whoa power couple. Well, I think

336
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: this is all because of phone technology now, Like there

337
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: was nothing scripted about that moment. It's simply what phones

338
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: can make you look like now, saucy, all right, moving on, Yes,

339
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: the carousels coming up. Speaking of the carousel, Taysom Hill,

340
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: you know Taysom Hill. In fact, the NFL Twitter got

341
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: a little crazy yesterday because um Taysom Hill and the

342
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: and the discussion about where he stands, what his future

343
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: is in the NFL, what he can do, and Hill

344
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: stoke those flames. In a recent interview with The A

345
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: P had this to say, I definitely view myself as

346
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. I think as you look at the

347
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: other questions, is it New Orleans, is it New Orleans,

348
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: New Orleans? Is it somewhere else? As you go into

349
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: free agency, this is the time that you start to

350
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: find out how people view you. We haven't gotten into

351
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: free agency long enough to really know how these guys

352
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: view me, and we'll just handle it as it comes.

353
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 1: These Saints have three quarterbacks hitting free agency, Drew Brees,

354
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill. Hill doesn't sound like a

355
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: guy mark that uh it wants to do the thing

356
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: where he throws the ball five times and runs fifty

357
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: plays all season anymore. Well, he's not twenty two, and

358
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: I think that if you're him and you're looking at

359
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: the trajectory of your chances to become a starter, it's

360
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: sort of a cell high moment because he was the

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: most magnificent player in that Saints Vikings game they lost.

362
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard that. No one has brought that

363
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: up last, but he does. Every time he kind of

364
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: touched the ball, he did things that you want see

365
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: more and returning thirty, I don't know. It's gonna take

366
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: a team of a specific type of faith in looking

367
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: at Taysom Hill that way. I know people like to

368
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: point out Mohammed Sanu has more past attempts than Taysom Hill.

369
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: I get it. But there's a song a lot of

370
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: that's a good one though it's true. But but every

371
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: time they've used he's got more row too, different different situation.

372
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: But I would, I would, if I could pick, would

373
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: like to see Taysom Hill and we'll get into this

374
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: stay right where he is and be maximized in a

375
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: different way than last year and maybe hit up hit

376
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: a double headed quarterback system. But he's he's not. It's

377
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: a These quotes are weird because he's not a free agent.

378
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: He's a restricted free agent. And if and it seems

379
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: to me that Sean Payton is just trying to create

380
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: a market for him because they would love someone to

381
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: give up a pick for Taysom Hill. I guess what

382
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: kind of Sean Payton spoke with, you know, spoke with

383
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: with what was it the Peter King podcast or whatever, saying,

384
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, hey, like he if someone wants to go

385
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: get him, you know that that if we put a

386
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: first round pick on him, like that is just you

387
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: know what we would have to get back, you know,

388
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: for for him to to move on if they did

389
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: put a first round pick. I mean, no one's giving

390
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: up a first round pick for Taysom Hill. I have

391
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: because I just don't. I think if you look at

392
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: the history of the history is very rich here. What

393
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: people have given up picks for a guy with that

394
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: little experience throwing the ball in the NFL. There's there's

395
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: no reason for me to think that any I don't

396
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: think anyone would give up a third round pick, uh,

397
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: necessarily for Taysom Hill. But it doesn't. It's sort of like,

398
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: who are these teams out there? You don't know until

399
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: the until it happened, right And I think that's what

400
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and Taysom Hill and his agent are trying

401
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: to do is create a market because to me, Sean

402
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Payton spoke with actions. I mean, Drew Brees was not

403
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: on the field for five straight weeks and Taysom Hill

404
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: didn't play, and so he he tried to me, I

405
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: do not believe that you're a starting quarterback in the

406
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: NFL right now, no matter how many time people he's

407
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: been telling you think that would play out again next

408
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: year at the same can we put it in context

409
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: that he paid teddy Bridgewater more than any backup in

410
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: the league, and he already made that bed, so he

411
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: had to lie. But you play, you play who you

412
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: think is gonna win you your games. I mean he

413
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: paid seven million dollars to Teddy Bridgewaters, just adding context

414
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: to his decision. It wasn't as simple as you make it. Yeah,

415
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I think it is, though. I think he's trying to

416
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: win and he thought Teddy Bridgewater is the best chance

417
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: to win. You imagine Mark, imagine Wes and Greg both

418
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: on the same jury but having different opinions on something

419
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: and then the other. Uh. I mean, I'm on team

420
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: get out of be a. That could be like a

421
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: vague traffic ticket that stays in l A court systems

422
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: for the next You misread my motivation. It was not

423
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: a jury. My I am on team get home as

424
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: soon as possible, you know whatever. That whatever, team justice. Yeah,

425
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: you don't care if you're gonna put an innocent man

426
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: behind home. If it's a dog biting civil trial, no,

427
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't care. You know whatever everyone's going with, let's

428
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: get out of here. I don't think West would let

429
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: you get out of the deliberation room that easily you

430
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: would fight for justice. We have no leadership in this country.

431
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: What's my motivation for serving on a jury in doing

432
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: a civic duty when no one else in this country?

433
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: Al Right, everyone's out on this, this choreci chore. Next topic,

434
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: you've you've stated Mark that you'd be totally cool. Like

435
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: a seven month homicide any issues scenario A one of

436
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: these cases that just becomes more explosive, multi layered, and

437
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: it's like, guys, I know that we said this would

438
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: only take a month, but were now to put you

439
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: up in a hotel. You can't see anyone else from society.

440
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: You can only hang out together, and this is gonna

441
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: go in like eighteen nineteen months. Maybe a trial of

442
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: the decade, if not, something that makes the o J

443
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: trial look like a doge of the distance. Yeah, something

444
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: that it's not just about the people in the case.

445
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: You hold up the mirror and there's America. I mean,

446
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: you come out of it talking to like Larry King Jr.

447
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: You come out of it with like two or three

448
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: two or three books that you self like, you know,

449
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: and when you're allowed to talk after you just do

450
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: the talk show circuit. I mean, I'm a assuming Larry

451
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: King would be gone by the time this would be happening.

452
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm seeing this happens ten years from now. Um. Moving on,

453
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: the Sports Business Journal has an interesting report that the

454
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: NFL may add flex scheduling to the next Monday Night

455
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: Football contract. Interesting uh. The SPJ reports that the NFL's

456
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: asked teams for feedback on moving games from Sunday to

457
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: Monday during the season. The league asked teams questions like

458
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: how much notice they think they would need to prepare

459
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: a move from Sunday afternoon to Monday night and uh,

460
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: it should be known that any such change could not

461
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: be made and would not be made until the new

462
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: TV contracts are agreed upon. The current ESPN Monday Night

463
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: Football deal runs through and the league's Sunday deals with

464
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: CBS and Fox and NBC THROUGHO. So this is kind

465
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: of a down the road type thing, and it made

466
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: me think, once again, there is and we talked about this.

467
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: It's it's gone kind of quiet on this front. But

468
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: it bubbled up last month that ESPN was perhaps preparing

469
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: or had prepared a massive contract offer for Tony Romo

470
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: um and ostensibly he would join Monday Night Football and

471
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: be their lead analyst. You would think if if you're

472
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: making that type of offer, maybe they want a situation

473
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: they would be all for obviously, and maybe there'd be

474
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: a real push to give Monday night football. Uh, it's

475
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: identity back as one of the premier games of the week,

476
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: which it has lost. It still hits every once in

477
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: a while, four or five games a week where they

478
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: it is truly one of the best games the week.

479
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: Anything is they lost are big games this year than

480
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football in the end, but that was it

481
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: was a good year for them, right, But in general,

482
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: since Sunday Night Football really took hold, Uh, in the

483
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: last ten fifteen years, Monday Night Football has been on

484
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: the short end. Well, they found a way to turn

485
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: what you know growing up was the premier weekly football

486
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: event into something not very special. I would love to

487
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: see Monday and Football treated the same way we treat

488
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. I think in the past it was like, oh,

489
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: but what if you had tickets for Sunday and now

490
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: your family has to go. And it's like these people

491
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: that go to these games go to them no matter

492
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: what they're gonna go. It's it's majorly um detrimental to

493
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: ticket buyer. It's just making the choice, which is a

494
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: common one, that the TV audience is way more important

495
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: than a family go into a game. But it is,

496
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: and it already kills you. If you're if you're if

497
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: you're changing from Monday to Sunday and you and you

498
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: planned a trip, that's fine, but they've already told us

499
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: that the family matters a lot less than the television

500
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: audience in every single scenario. I would do two Monday

501
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: night games, and I would have Saturday tripleheaders from Thanksgiving

502
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: to the end of the year and lighten that insane

503
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Sunday slate where you can't possibly keep up with all

504
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: the stuff that's happening at once. Go back to my

505
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: old idea of two football games to day. Um, I

506
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: don't really like this idea Saturday Sunday. I used to

507
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: like two football games a day once the season starts.

508
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: The math works, uh all season, two games a day,

509
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: just Saturday, just for Saturdays. When college goes dead, Thursday

510
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Night football. I understand it's never gonna go away. It's

511
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: the most important program that we have on this network.

512
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: And and you know, I'm also on supportive things that

513
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: pay the bills here. Um, Monday is gonna be always

514
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna have a game Sunday night. I get it, that's

515
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: the showcase. But Sunday should still be a big slate

516
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: of games. That's that's what you know. The NFL's found out,

517
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: found it out. I don't like this, like breaking it

518
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: up too much. Well, the only thing is, what about

519
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: on this Sunday week sixteen when somehow, because of the

520
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: TV finagling, like the best game of the day is

521
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: stuck at like ten am Pacific time when there should

522
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: have been an extra slot to put these We had

523
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: a great header this year in uh in one of

524
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: those late weeks on Saturday. Yeah, maybe throwing one, maybe

525
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: one or two more of those. Also addressing this report

526
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: was that they would it sounds like, at least to me,

527
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: it's interesting, move it back to ABC, take it off ESPN,

528
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: or that would be on both interesting moving ESPN has

529
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: a lot of nerves. They want to flex into better games.

530
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: I want to flex into a much better broadcast on

531
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: Monday nights. Please, Well, it needs to be part of it.

532
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: We'll find out what's going on there. That's all kind

533
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: of hanging in the air. Uh, not hanging in the

534
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: airs that Jacksonville Jaguars plans um to play in London

535
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: in twenty The Jaguars announced this happened last week, but

536
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: we did not get to it. The Jaguars announced that

537
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: the Jags will play two of their home games at

538
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium over consecutive Sundays in twenty making them the

539
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: first team in NFL history to play two home games

540
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: outside the United States in the same regular season. Uh

541
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: the team will touchdown on London to play an additional

542
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: home game to the one international matchup they've traditionally played

543
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: as host in recent seasons, and the move, according to

544
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, demonstrates a major step forward in the franchises

545
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: on owing commitment to the U K fan base. And

546
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: I would say Wes that if you are a Jacks

547
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: fan living in Florida in that area of Jacksonville Duval

548
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: that despite the team telling you don't worry, don't worry,

549
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: we're not going anywhere, We're invested in this area, we're

550
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: not looking to move. Well, now you're there for two

551
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: weeks straight. To me, it sends a message that they

552
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: really are looking at this thing as an option in

553
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: the long term. So you see it as sort of

554
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: a first step on the way. It's like a foothold, right,

555
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been building that foothold for years, and

556
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: it's like the next move. It's almost like the second step.

557
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: It's like the first step. Let's let's go there every year.

558
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: Let's do a lot of pr work to try to

559
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: get our foot in there. So there's a lot of

560
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars jerseys in London that weekend. Now here's the second step.

561
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: We're staying there for two weeks. We're giving up what's

562
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: the math a quarter of their inventory. Hey, you don't

563
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: of your home games now we're back to back weeks.

564
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: You don't build your colony on Mars the first trip.

565
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: You gotta establish a foothold and then do it gradually

566
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make them. It's a it's a very

567
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: tricky balance. Immediately, Jaguars fans, there was an outcry. There's

568
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: a fan group that's formed, like this coalition, you know,

569
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people signing it and trying to

570
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: have their rights there because they're they're losing a game.

571
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: And one of the more salient points that I saw

572
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: the some of the fans, because we're never getting that

573
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: game back. I mean that game is very likely gone

574
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: for good. So now we're at six and is it

575
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna go to four? And of course you know the

576
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: worry would be that it goes to nothing. And Shot

577
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: Khan and the Jaguars are trying to balance this of

578
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: keeping the jack Jacksonville fans happy, and they're saying, well,

579
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a small market. We we can't. It's

580
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: been tough selling all the tickets, so this is like

581
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: one less game to sell. But that it's very tricky.

582
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: It does remind me a little bit of the rams

583
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Um in St. Louis, where they sort of felt like

584
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: they had one foot out but had to pretend like

585
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: they didn't for a long time. They ranked Jacksonville in

586
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: terms of tradition and support among the thirty two franchises. Well, tradition,

587
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: it's low because it's you know, one of the but

588
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: I think it's deserved to have a team in cities,

589
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: deserved to have a team in the NFL. Their fan

590
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: base is very strong. I think I think they have

591
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: a very passionate fan base. But if you're the problem

592
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: is you have Shot Coom. When they write the history

593
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: of a team. Finally, going to London, there will be

594
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: chapters written about Shod Khan's involvement no matter what happens

595
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars in the end, But his interest in

596
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: growing the league, which is very much in line with

597
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, has nothing to do with how Jaguars fans feel,

598
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: no matter how much we view their support from their

599
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: hometown there slowly methodically in their minds getting fleeced out

600
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: of two games here, it's not just one, it's two.

601
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: It's two games a year. And if you're an owner, though,

602
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: when you think if I could just wipe this slate

603
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: clean and five years from now we could be in

604
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: London dealing with Wembley and Tottenham in these rapid fan

605
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: growing fan base, or do I want to plant a

606
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: team in Jack's feel I think the answer would be clear.

607
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: And there's a natural tension there because Jacksonville is starting

608
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: to feel in the rear view mirror he was not

609
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: their founding owner, and in In Cohn has done it

610
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: as much as he can to try to assure them.

611
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: The NFL loves it too, because the NFL is losing,

612
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, teams that want to go over there and

613
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: give up a home game with the Rams and the

614
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Raiders all having new stadiums. Those were

615
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: like ripe teams to force to go to London. Now

616
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: that Jaggers are saying, hey, we'll take two. That's two

617
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: of the four games they're gonna try to have there

618
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: that they're going to have next year, and that that like,

619
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: everyone is happy about that, except for Jacksonville fans. West

620
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: name the Alabama quarterback who suffered the hip injury but

621
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: was a phenon before that. Yeah, what's his last name?

622
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: To a taga via LOOA pretty good something like that. Correct,

623
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: I call him to a T. But that was well,

624
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: that was well pronounced by West as far as I know.

625
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: On this show, we call him to A and to

626
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: a scan shows has fractured hip has healed, which is

627
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: great news because, as I just said, he was entering

628
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: the nineteen college season and the nineteen NFL season the

629
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: guy that everyone was talking about even more than Joe

630
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: Burrow as this guy that you would scam for, the

631
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: guy that you would tank for. Uh. And then he

632
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: got this terrible injury and there was questions about whether

633
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: he'd be able to get his full term full uh,

634
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, full level of health and it looks like

635
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: he will be. Uh. So the three months CT scan

636
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: on the fractured hip positive as possible. Uh, it's healed.

637
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: According to rap Sheet, the hip and its range of

638
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: motion are good and it will be another month before

639
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: he's cleared for football activities. Rap Sheet added just a reminder,

640
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: and this is good Move the Stick season. That's why

641
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: I think it's smart. I just saw recently that there's

642
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: a podcast to Move the Sticks podcast. It makes sense

643
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: that it's something that they roll out solely during the

644
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: draft and they and they just keep it from let's

645
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: say February through uh the first week of May, and

646
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: then you know, obviously you make it disappear then until

647
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: people care to hear you again. Oh year around Poteah.

648
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: There are reports that they had to wage on through

649
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: the entire actual pro football season. To your kidding, Well, yeah,

650
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, clearly interest probably dries up a little bit

651
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: during that party year. But this is a good time

652
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 1: of year, the time the correct it. You are supposed

653
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: to say tongue to start and then so tongue to

654
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: a no tonguo violoa. So he he has he has

655
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: spelled it out a few and I'm just catching up

656
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: in this too, but yeah, tonguo viola. And keep in

657
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: mind that's starting at five. You have a run of

658
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: three teams who appear to be in desperate need of

659
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback, the Dolphins, the Chargers, and Panthers five, six, seven,

660
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: So to uh, I feel like he's probably gonna be

661
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: on one of those teams. I don't want to go

662
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: full Jeremiah here uh and mocked that thing out. I

663
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think the Lions are the X

664
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: factor whether the Lions would consider taking him, and then

665
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: if not, that the Lions trade that pick and someone

666
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: moves up to grab him. There. What do you say

667
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: every year, Mark, I don't want to hear these quarterbacks

668
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: are going six, They're going first and second, somebody's going

669
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: to trade up for Well, we spent three months, you know,

670
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: arguing about Kyler Murly last year, and it's just like

671
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: just fast forward to when it's actually happens the way

672
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: we all know it will. They're gonna go top three,

673
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: top four. The lines are in a perfect point. When's

674
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: your draft coming out? Your mock draft? I mean, you know,

675
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: I like to gather information and work with sources, and

676
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: farm already I give information back and get it. There's

677
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: already on the site. So you're following by m j

678
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: D just had his mock today. You know, we're we're

679
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: hurting for content so much on the network that MJD

680
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: released his mock and then other people talked about it

681
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: today on NFL. Now, I'm not sure you're framing mg

682
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: D in the most positive light there, Greg With I've

683
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: said he wasn't even on to We're just like he's

684
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: doing the now that Mayox out of the game as

685
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 1: the GM of the radars. But he did the step

686
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: right into everybody do your little cute mock one point

687
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: oh two point oh, seven point oh twelve point oh

688
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: to Mayock bang drops it right before the draft. That's

689
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: the that's the mock. That's I believe what you're gonna be. Yeah,

690
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you know, you want to

691
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: pull from masters, when you're learning to do things your

692
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: own way. Now, I'm gonna add my own original spins

693
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: all this, but I think that the Mayock timeline works.

694
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: There's mean to be releasing one on February eleventh. No,

695
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: there's only a one point oh when it comes to

696
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: the sets, right and uh, Eric Wettle retires after thirteen seasons.

697
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: The thirty five year old safety announced his retirement last

698
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: week after thirteen seasons with the Chargers. Ravens and Rams

699
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: didn't even have a single surgery. It's my favorite Wettle

700
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: Staddy had a great career, five time All Pro UH

701
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: in fact, but he had his first surgery earlier this month.

702
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: He did a little shave down in the knee area

703
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: before that. Never at a position as physical as that

704
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: to play as long as he had, Some people were

705
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: born to play the sport. And I think he had

706
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: a quote that really put into context, like what it

707
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: takes to play in the NFL. He said, the idea

708
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: of getting ready for another NFL season made me want

709
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: to throw up. That's when you know it's time. When

710
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: you look at the like Pro Football Reference comparisons comps

711
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: for where someone is after how many years like Wettill

712
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: played Steve Atwater, Willie Wood from the Packers, Johnny Robinson

713
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: from the Chiefs, and Johnny Shell from the Steelers, all

714
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: four of them Hall of famers, five All Pro UH,

715
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: five times. You know first and second team combined that

716
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: those guys usually have a pretty strong chance to get in.

717
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: I think Mett might be a tougher because there's so

718
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: many things that he did that are tough to define.

719
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: But I I appreciated you know, of course when you

720
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: retire people say nice things about you, but the kind

721
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: of the intensity of it from his teammates, especially as

722
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: as him as kind of one that kept their defenses

723
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: together on whatever team he was, he seemed like he

724
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: got about as much respect as as any player or

725
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: any safety, at least in the league. Little closer from

726
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Patron NFL dot com. Famously known for chowing down

727
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: ice cream after wins with his family, now, Wettle has

728
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: plenty of time for Sunday desserts as he enters the

729
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: next phase after an illustrious NFL career. That's a pro

730
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Patra. See what he did there were Sunday Oh

731
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: that well meaning Kesha told me that Patra is so

732
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: efficient on morning news that the people in the desk

733
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: can't even keep up with him, can't it. I mean

734
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: the guys, I mean we all did it. We all

735
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: did it. And once you once you really start to

736
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: get into the groove of it, there's a skill. He's

737
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: been doing it for how long? Now, Well, I would

738
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: I would part of it I think he's solidly written

739
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: more articles for NFL dot com than anyone else ever

740
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: in the history of NFL. He's got it, and maybe

741
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: he's because we've stopped doing that. He may be lapping

742
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: people at this point. I'm not kidding. If you looked

743
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: it up, I would not be surprised. Yes, I have

744
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: to the question. I'll ask the question. You're famously yourself

745
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: not a fan of counting stats. Does that mean anything

746
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: to you? What the fact that patra is the most

747
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: read writer in the history website? That not that that

748
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: he's written the most articles. Yes, it means something. There

749
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: are many times wrote an article that we would have

750
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: had to write instead, So it means a lot to me,

751
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: and I will be sending him gifts, gifts of thanks.

752
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: Has there ever been a more worthless gift than a

753
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: psychological gift of the mind? Probably not. Not only efficient

754
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: and durable, but he's valuable enough that they've kept him around.

755
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean nobody has retired him. Don't discount Pat Kerwin

756
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: and terms of those pages, because back in the day,

757
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: it's like they only had three articles a week, and

758
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: two of them were Kerwin's. He's dominating that website from

759
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 1: the ratio best competition. It was like two for Kerwin

760
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: and let's uh, let's get old Gil in here, Vick Carucci,

761
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: me Patris doing that by am. That's how they called

762
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: Curlin the ratio goat, which never really caught on, but

763
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: I didn't catch on. Finally, in the news, XFL debuted

764
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: this weekend and there was if you, um we care

765
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: to pay attention. People seemed to be over overly um

766
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: I balanced. People seemed to be happy with the product

767
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: or pleasantly surprised with the product from the XFL. I

768
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: was in a situation I had to go back home

769
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: for a family situation. We lost a loved one, and

770
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: um so in those situations for instance. So the service

771
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: was on Friday, then Saturday, I'm at my parents place

772
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: with my brother and really nothing to do, so we

773
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: ended up watching uh the Dragons Defenders Tilt. Watched the

774
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: whole game, the oh the whole thing. Those are teams.

775
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: I thought that was a movie. You were to hold

776
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: that thought because I'm gonna get to that in a second.

777
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, that would have been my takeaway too

778
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: that the um it looked professional in terms of the

779
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: presentation and the play wasn't terrible. Did I feel like

780
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: I needed to watch four quarters of card L Jones

781
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: scrambling and then trying to hit a receiver breaking off

782
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: his route. No, that felt excessive at this time of year.

783
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: But also I didn't see an embarrassing level of play.

784
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I didn't watch a ton of a a f the crowd.

785
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: The crowd was not huge anywhere, but you know, they

786
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: looked like they were getting about twenty thousand for the

787
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: first week. But the thing to keep in mind for

788
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and Greg, I know you probably choose

789
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: some tape on this is don't don't judge a league

790
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: like this after week one. Let's get to about week five,

791
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: weeks six, and see where the attendance numbers are, where

792
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: the attrition rate is, uh, see what the level play

793
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: is at, because this is that's when he gets really

794
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: difficult to launch a league to zero tape. Unlike Mark Sessler,

795
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: who watched a lot of that, well, so to me,

796
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: I was wanting not to like it. I was hoping

797
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: not to like it because I don't need a lot

798
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: of you know, other stuff happening football wiys in February.

799
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: But watched it with my two young boys and they

800
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: enjoyed it, and they want to go to an l

801
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: A game and all this stuff. I think they It

802
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: was for the four highest rated sports events of the

803
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: weekend in that critical eighteen to forty something category they're

804
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: looking for. So it's like if you can get kids

805
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: hook but it was there. You're not going up against

806
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: the World Series like NBA, you know, national games with

807
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: big teams. One thing, I thought the coaching seemed to

808
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: be better than some of these other experimental leagues, and

809
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: it does. You are how do you get sucked in

810
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: if there's no actual stars. If you're US and you're

811
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: watching typically NFL, you're looking for new fans. I think

812
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: they are one thing. They can blow up the NFL

813
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: rule book and say we want to we want to

814
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: do what we want. You have an extra point scenario

815
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: where you can get one, two or three points based

816
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: on how far you want to go out of the

817
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: end zone. That's a good idea And like that's the

818
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: thing though, is that's still a novelty a month from now?

819
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: Does anyone care? From now? Uh? I kick off stuff? Yeah?

820
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: I think it could be a good breeding ground for

821
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: trying different coaching and officiating. You know, Blandino is the

822
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: head of officiating. You want to talk about get a

823
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: nice little paycheck. Yeah, he is the head of officiating

824
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: for the XFL and he's involved with the broadcast, which

825
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: is pretty good get for them. They're they're slogan when

826
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: it comes to replay review is less stall and more ball.

827
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: And I'd be remiss not to say that the game

828
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 1: that I did watch, uh West, because you're pumping your fist.

829
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: But there is a consequence the less stall and more ball.

830
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: They have the guys miked up and on camera during

831
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: this process, and clearly the dude and one of the

832
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: replayers was rushing it because less stall, more ball, and

833
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: he blew the call because he only looked at it

834
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: twice and he was like, oh, this is a tough one.

835
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: Uh stick with the call on the field, and it

836
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: was plainly wrong. A rusher was laying on top of

837
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: a defender and he spotted the ball as if his

838
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: knee was down. He'd prefer to take six minutes to

839
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: make the wrong call. I just give me the right

840
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: call at the end of the day, give me the

841
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: right you're not getting it. I'm sorry, but replay has

842
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: made more wrong calls than before replay. Diana Rassini, who's

843
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: all over the place. They there, They have this whole

844
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: ESPN side sideline thing where they get the people immediately

845
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: after the play, which is going to lead to things

846
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: like this. There's just a lot of time after play.

847
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: We're trying to make someself happen, and they're doing at

848
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: question shopping. We're trying to go, So that's gonna happen

849
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot. Pepper Johnson got fired by the l A

850
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: Wildcats their DC after one game, and uh my my

851
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: last comment. You'll know the XFL is making progress when

852
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: there aren't articles on our website about week the week

853
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: that happened, when there aren't when there aren't because in

854
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: the nfl B like, oh, these guys are real competition

855
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: eradicate ll knowledge of the good point. And lastly, my

856
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: my power rankings of the team names. There are eight

857
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: teams Ricky Umber eight St. Louis Battle Hawks. I don't

858
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: like any one word name. That's two words and then

859
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: there's two capital letters capital What are the Hawks supposed

860
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: to be battling each other? Seven the DC defenders? Is

861
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: it all about the defense? You know? It just seems

862
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: six the l A Wildcats. I just feel like Wildcats

863
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: pretty well done. At every college basketball in l A.

864
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: There's plenty Bogers brocrossing the highways. Five the New York Guardian,

865
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: Inglewood New York Guardians, defenders and guardians feels like what

866
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 1: what job? But track of my to be a guardian

867
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: for a sport? I will. I will give them the

868
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: security guards. No New York slash New Jersey thing, which

869
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: all these start up leagues can't get over that hump.

870
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: They just went in New York for the Houston Roughnecks.

871
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad. It's a little too close to Rednecks,

872
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: but gonna do. Number three the Dallas Renegades, not bad.

873
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard it before, but it's fair.

874
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: Number two Tampa Bay Vipers. That's good and nice logo

875
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: to that's I have a snake pit motif if you're

876
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: nine year old. Luke jumped on Vipers right away and

877
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: I was trying to, like I said, this is the

878

Speaker 1: second Tampa Bay team with suspect uniforms, didn't care, went

883
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: people talking solid. I don't know. I was expecting something

884
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: a little more from the wilderness. That's what's happening in

885
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: the news. Hey, Ricky Hollywood, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. How

888
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: As then you didn't die, right, Yeah, No, that's great,

889
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: But that also means like I'm not a generational talent.

890
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I mean there are generational talents who made

891
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: it beyonds true. Cartney is still kicking. There you go.

915
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: love you. But they love you. Yeah, we love you. Well,

916
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: that's that's all that matters. Let's spend the QB carousel.

917
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get this right. Let's because what's today,

918
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: the eleventh of February, one day after the tenth, which

919
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: was Erica's birthday. That's correct, two eleven twenty. I'm marking

920
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: it right now. Let's kind of put our heads together

921
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: and make some predictions. Here too. Let's start with Bill Rivers.

922
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: There was a report greg out there that the Bucks

923
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: are legit in Yeah, that was from the ESPN Bucks writer.

924
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 1: I feel like our network has been downplaying that more.

925
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: Mike Garfolo and Ian they they seem to believe that

926
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston Is is likely to be back with the Bucks.

927
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: Just one of these things needs to change and then

928
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: it all can go crazy. I'm a little worried that

929
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: the carousel won't really be spinning that much. But Rivers

930
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,959
Speaker 1: is the one we know is out there in Indianapoli.

931
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: If the Colts really went for Rivers, then that then

932
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: that is fun. Give me some Philip Rivers in Indianapolis.

933
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: That's what I want to have. That one feels like

934
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, doesn't it. He's Frank Reich, He's

935
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: already worked for several times his offensive coordinator for the

936
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 1: charge of Nick Sirianni, the Colts coordinator, is an actual

937
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: good friend of Rivers. Is in a buddy like they

938
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: hang out. So the Colts, to me, one of the

939
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: reasons why this happened the way it did with the Chargers,

940
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: because Rivers already knows he's gonna end up in or

941
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: at least that's an option for him, a question that

942
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: bucks fans at least they're acts asking, I think as

943
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: fair as would Philip Rivers, even being upgrade over Jamis Winston. Um,

944
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: And I think that's a fair question asking. And if

945
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: you're in Indianapolis, is Philip Rivers enough of an upgrade

946
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,479
Speaker 1: over Jacoby Brissette? My answer would be yes. I do think.

947
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: I think he has a chance to still play pretty well.

948
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: But this is a thirty eight year old who who,

949
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: even as I'm defending him, did not have a good

950
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: he didn't. You want him in a dome stadium where

951
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: his arms, the decreasing arm strength isn't as big of

952
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: a factor, and you want him behind a good offensive

953
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: line like the Colts half. I don't know. Bad Philip

954
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: Rivers is that different or any better than Jamis Winston

955
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: if you get the bad version, if you get a

956
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: more increasingly declined version, I don't know why arians is

957
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: signing up for that. All right, I can't see it.

958
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: Let's let's send Rivers to Indianapolis. That's good, right, lock

959
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: it in. By the way, you're the first person Dan

960
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 1: who I did say that back, and it makes sense.

961
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: It made sense then, it still makes sense now and

962
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: they can kick the can a little bit the Colts

963
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: and figure out who their long term guy is. They

964
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: can draft someone. I'm throwing one wild card out there.

965
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm not pushing for because I won't get con census

966
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders Gruden and Rivers for one or two years,

967
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: maybe just one. Is that an upgrade over Derek Car

968
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: I am not saying that it is a huge upgrade,

969
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: but it feels like something that Gruden it's signed up for. Well,

970
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: it feels like every quarterback we're going to mention Gruden

971
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: would sign up for that. He likes his veteran So

972
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the Gruden Gruden in a year old.

973
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like we're gonna go through these free agents,

974
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: and I think that the potential trades out there, like

975
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: Car or Cam are the or folds even or take

976
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: some hell if if you if you want to believe

977
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: in that Cam's the wild card. I think are all

978
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of wild cards where if one of them gets traded,

979
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: if if Car is suddenly gone or available, that then

980
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: that changes everything. All right, let's spin it, and uh,

981
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: this is a big name. Obviously, Tom Brady, and I'll

982
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: start with this one. I'm just I would be stunned

983
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: if he ends up anywhere else. So I'm gonna say

984
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: that carousel stops and he sticks right where he is,

985
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: even if he also moved his house and headed out

986
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:06,240
Speaker 1: of state. He's not long for New England either way,

987
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: but for another year, especially if they end up poning

988
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: him up, puning up the thirty million or whatever. And

989
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: again the Patriots, and it also gives them the opportunity,

990
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: like the Cults, to draft a quarterback and start developing

991
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: someone this time though for real it didn't work out

992
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: Jimmy g because Brady just kept playing. But this time

993
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 1: they actually would be grooming a young kid for the future.

994
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: Brady stays in New England. Who disagrees, who agrees? Want?

995
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: I think? I think he wants to be wanted in

996
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: this process might address some of that and then have

997
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: New England come out in a total pantomime show and say, yes,

998
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna pay you a lot. Yes, you know, the

999
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: quote was weapons at He wants stuff at it around him.

1000
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be in last year's offense. I

1001
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: think all that New England is the best situation for him,

1002
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: for him to seamlessly not start over the new playbook,

1003
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: work with Josh McDaniels, and hope that you get it right.

1004
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: Probably the best situation for the Patriots. Are they really gonna,

1005
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, do better than him at it could be difficult.

1006
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't buy the talk that he's gonna the idea

1007
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: that he could make it to free agency and this

1008
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: has been on our network too, and see what he's

1009
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: worth and then come back. I mean, if you're talking

1010
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: about I want more weapons and um, you know he

1011
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: wants the team around him to be good. If he

1012
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: gets the free agency and comes back, they have to

1013
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: pay whatever Tom Brady's gonna cost plus thirteen and a

1014
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: half million in dead cat money. It makes no sense.

1015
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: I just can't see Bill Belichick operating like that. I

1016
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: think the Patriots at some point will have to be

1017
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: will have to say if you reach free agency like

1018
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: we're moving on, they either get the deal done before

1019
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: free agency starts or not, because otherwise it makes no

1020
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: sense to bring him back plus thirteen million dollars of

1021
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: fake money. He lord knows he's earned the benefit of

1022
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,760
Speaker 1: the doubt, but I'm still floored by how much benefit

1023
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: of the doubt he's getting compared to other quarterbacks. I agree,

1024
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 1: And people keep mentioning the Titans in a you're the Titans.

1025
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: Why in the world you've got Ryan Tannehill, who you're

1026
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: probably going to keep, who can escape pressure, who's athletic

1027
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: and can hit passes down the field, and you're gonna

1028
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: move on from him for the Tom Brady who played

1029
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: in two thousand nine, I don't see that. The only

1030
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: the only issue there is that any of the thirty

1031
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: one other owners would sign up for scenarios like that.

1032
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: In many cases where Tom Brady changes everything people think

1033
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: about your team for the next year. From a coaching angle,

1034
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: I do wonder like if this is one where the

1035
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: insiders don't have a good read on it, kind of

1036
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning back in the day, because it's such

1037
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: a big deal. But if you believe that the insiders

1038
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: had to read on it, it really feels like it's

1039
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: just Chargers of Patriots that there, that there's not going

1040
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: to be the level of interest um by any other team,

1041
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: and even that the Chargers feel like a pretty big

1042
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: underdog in that scenario. All Right, Drew Brees spend the

1043
00:53:55,360 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: castle Mark Drew Brees to me, a staying with the

1044
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: Saints are doing nothing else. He's sort of made that clear,

1045
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: and so I think that they're bringing him back. And

1046
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: he had very interesting comments where he basically said if

1047
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: they want to give Taysom Hill, for instance, twenty five

1048
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: or thirty touches, that he'd be open to that. And

1049
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: I do see what I'm hoping for. What my wishless

1050
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: item would be a Hill Breeze two headed combo sting

1051
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: your butt offense where you don't know if it's gonna

1052
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: come by land or through air or how and you

1053
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: put them both on the field a bunch and you

1054
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: just go Sean Payton fever dream scenario and you don't

1055
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: get rid of either. I don't. I just think Breeze

1056
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: would never wind up anywhere else. That's my guests. But

1057
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: retirement would be the other option. Well sure, but I'm

1058
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: saying with another team like him, going to the Charges

1059
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: would be very a nice way to wrap all that,

1060
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: but that's gonna Happeneah. Basically, I'm he's trying to throw

1061
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: the retirement stuff out there is a real thing, and

1062
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: and people who uh, you know, cover the game, like

1063
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: Bugger McFarland said, he thinks Breeze is gonna retire. There's

1064
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: some Saints fans that that buy. I feel like this

1065
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: is the only leverage that Breeze has is to say

1066
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna retire. And I really do think the end

1067
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: game for them is they're they're trying to get rid

1068
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: of Taysom Hill. Why would they want to get rid

1069
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: of Taysom Hill? Because I can't really figure out why

1070
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: they've been trying to art, like, you know, inflate his

1071
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: stock otherwise, because why do you, I mean, don't you

1072
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: think that I know there's all these conspiracy theories that

1073
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton has been doing this for three years, inflating

1074
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 1: his stock. He called him Steve Young in August, way

1075
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: after contract negotiation is done. There's no leverage. I don't know,

1076
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: like the equivalent of like Michael Lombardi talking of Ryan Mallett.

1077
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,240
Speaker 1: There's you know, there's a here's a point against or

1078
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: for the cell of it all that he called it

1079
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: Steve Young in August. Drew Brees busts up his thumb

1080
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: in week two and then you put the other guy

1081
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: in there. You didn't put him, but the different next

1082
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: next September on a team for three years. Though this

1083
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: is not a young player in the air. He's been

1084
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: with the Saints on the roster for three years. I

1085
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: don't know what if it's not a leverage thing and

1086
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: he just gets over excited about quarterbacks and toys like

1087
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: Jon Gruden always has. Some coaches just like to throw sunshine. Well,

1088
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Or maybe he's trying to pacify Taysom Hill,

1089
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: who is now said publicly he believes he's a franchise

1090
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: quarterback and if the Saints don't see me that way,

1091
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: then maybe I should be playing elsewhere. I think he

1092
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: clearly is interested in seeing if there's a team out

1093
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: there that wants him. I just some skeptical that that

1094
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: they will, especially they put a first round tender on him.

1095
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: Forget about like seeing what he did against the Vikings

1096
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: and seeing how he's like you. In my notes almost

1097
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: every game, I'm I'm writing, Saints need more Taysom Hill.

1098
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: Why would Sean Payton say I gotta get rid of

1099
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: this guy? I don't. I don't understand that for for

1100
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: who would be on the final year first round? Can

1101
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: they afford to pay both those guys? Well, he's a

1102
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: restricted free agent, so he'll beach. What does that mean exactly?

1103
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: So they just need to put a tender on him

1104
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: for or or a second or or the original round

1105
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: one and it's a low one year contract that they

1106
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: can keep Tasom Hill for it will be a hand

1107
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: free million hand for like three million dollars something like that.

1108
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: Or they can put a second round tender and see

1109
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: if they can and you're not paying Teddy Bridgewater Hill.

1110
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: Where is is he back in north? That's my thing

1111
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: is both Saints. I just say, I think you double

1112
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: down on what was beginning to be a very good

1113
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: thing and you can navigate out of stormy waters. I

1114
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: look at the Chargers and Panthers. Is two possibilities. The Chargers.

1115
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: There's as much as people keep putting Tom Brady on

1116
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers, it doesn't make any sense to me since

1117
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn is quite clearly one of a more athletic

1118
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: quarterback behind center, which Taysom Hill would be. And if

1119
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: the Panthers get rid get rid of cam Newton, seems

1120
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: like Taysom Hill could be a good experiment for a

1121
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: franchise that is looking to be pretty progressive in the

1122
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: way they think. Alright, Cam Newton West, this is the

1123
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: wild card, and I think I'd leaned toward him staying

1124
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: with the Panthers. But I've noticed for about six months now,

1125
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: every time he and Rappaport talks about this, he refuses

1126
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: to say Cam Newton's gonna be back with the Panthers.

1127
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: And if you parse it a little bit, it just

1128
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: seems like it's coming from upstairs. It's coming from the

1129
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: very top of the flow chart that maybe they're ready

1130
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: to turn the page. And yet if you don't have

1131
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: anybody to replace him, how do you get rid of

1132
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: a guy with his talent, even though he's a wild

1133
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: card both in the quarterback picture and with his health

1134
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: and what kind of quarterback he's gonna be going forward.

1135
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: I thought they would want to keep him because why

1136
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: not see what he looks like in this new offense

1137
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: and then and then move on after that if it

1138
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work. But man, Mike Garrett follow you know, talk

1139
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: about it today, almost said it a matter of factly

1140
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: that Cam is going to be available, like he is

1141
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: going to be available. And to me, the Chargers, I

1142
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: just love this combo. This is the guy to open

1143
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: your stadium with. This is a guy that Anthony Lynn

1144
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: I think could get behind you, even got Tyrade behind

1145
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: him somehow kind of fits like Cam to the Chargers,

1146
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: Let's fly. He couldn't. It could totally not work, but

1147
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: I feel like it could be a big swing worth taking.

1148
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of played out, almost has played out as

1149
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: much as Taysom Hill was the best player in the field.

1150
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: And the playoff game is that the Chargers desperately needs

1151
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: somebody to open up that new building with that they

1152
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: could sell tickets around and Tom Brady would be the

1153
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: number one guy. Cam would be somebody that you that

1154
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: would bring some juice there, absolutely and something that if

1155
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: you're a Chargers fan, if you're if it's a bittersweet

1156
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: situation with Phil Rivers, if Cam has a nice spring

1157
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: and his arms looking good, and the and the and

1158
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: the vibe is upbeat around him, yeah, that that makes

1159
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me. I kind of like

1160
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: that idea that charges again. It works whenever I think

1161
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton in a different uniform. This is it

1162
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: keeps coming up as Chicago Bears. Why. I just think

1163
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: that they need to make they desperately. Now do I

1164
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: trust that the Chicago will self examined to this to

1165
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: the degree of realizing they need to have a different

1166
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: situation at quarterback. But I just love the idea of

1167
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: cam New in Chicago for no no more reason than that.

1168
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't you can connect them to the Chargers, but

1169
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: there's not any facts surrounding them with that either. I mean,

1170
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily love him on the Chargers just because

1171
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers with the Bears. I would put them more

1172
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: in that Titans club of a year ago, where they

1173
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: might get like a Teddy Bridgewater put them behind. Then

1174
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I'd have to ask what are you doing? Like, what

1175
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: are you doing a quarterback? If you're going to I

1176
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of have this image of I

1177
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't mind a world where it's Teddy Bridgewater and

1178
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham for the a f C East champion Patriots.

1179
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Let's just get weird. That would be that, that would

1180
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: be so what are we doing with Camden? What's our

1181
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: final decision? We're putting them on the Chargers. I mean,

1182
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: it's def two I'll agree, but I am in this

1183
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: case where we have different viewpoints. Obviously, so the Panthers

1184
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: makes sense. Uh, if you want to go there the Chargers.

1185
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: I like that. Greg does as well. Marcus saying the Bears, Uh,

1186
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: so that you do not like that. I can tell

1187
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,479
Speaker 1: by the tone of your what about I just don't

1188
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: think it's lead based on what we know and with them, well,

1189
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: I think a lot of stuff that happens is unknown

1190
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: at this point, like the idea that what we know

1191
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: what we have very little reporting around any of this.

1192
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Like the Raiders. You could do almost threw the Raiders

1193
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: for every team, but I maybe John Gruden would be

1194
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: interested in Cam Newton. That would that would be fun.

1195
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Maybe the Jaguars, I think they're probably gonna go forward

1196
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew, but could they be an X factor

1197
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: like in all this too, get spicy Jaguars, Dak Tannehill

1198
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: both staying with their teams. I assume we believe in

1199
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Tannehill just uh signed fired his agent sexs to be

1200
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: a guy's agent, and then right as they're at a

1201
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: major pay day, he went c A. There's been no

1202
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: indication that he would be leaving, and I think that

1203
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the Titans Brady connection has been pretty summarily dismissed um

1204
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: not just by West but by a few few others.

1205
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: So I think it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't

1206
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: make any sense, and finally Jamis Winston spin the carousel

1207
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: of doom where Jamis Winston. My fear is that all

1208
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: these guys are going back to their teams. It's not

1209
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: going to be as fun as we think. So I'm

1210
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna put him on the Raiders. Let's let's have John

1211
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Gruden get wild and just think he can be the

1212
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: man who Oh my god, Jamis Winston in that combination.

1213
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's so perfect because Ruden's

1214
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: pulling out his hair because his quarterback won't take any shots.

1215
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: So he goes all the way on the other side

1216
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: of the spectrum. He gets the guy who is chemically

1217
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: addicted to taking shots at all times. And you know

1218
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: they finished seven and nine either way. Derek Carr then

1219
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: goes to the Panthers. I mean, why not cars a

1220
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: bit of what I mean. I don't know how you

1221
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: sell Winston as a starter anywhere outside of Tampa Bay,

1222
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: where they believe because the GM drafted him that they

1223
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: can stick with him. I think he's staying in Tampa Bay.

1224
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: I know he messed himself up a little bit there

1225
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: with those last two weeks, but remember the reporting out

1226
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: there eight days before the season was over. Is that

1227
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Tampa was all good. We're good. He's our guy. He's

1228
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: coming back. That's a that's a league leader in yards

1229
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: and interceptions, Jameis Winston. You're talking about five thousand, one

1230
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards like second in touchdowns, second touchdowns. I'm gonna

1231
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: throw one world two yards for attempt one wild card.

1232
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I would be willing to bet a sandwich that Matthew

1233
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Stafford is not the Week one starter in Detroit and

1234
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: not on the Lions roster, and that's where that's where

1235
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: the sandwich prop ends. But my guess right now and

1236
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,479
Speaker 1: where I can see him again, It's just like keeps

1237
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: coming to mind, is Matthew Stafford your Week one Chargers starter.

1238
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: I love what you're doing to hear with the Stafford

1239
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: not on the Lions thing. But I'm gonna take the sandwich. Yeah,

1240
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,919
Speaker 1: I will take the sandwich as well. I will too,

1241
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: But I think you gotta I think you gotta shy.

1242
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Why what is the I would love to get a

1243
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: little bit more background and why there's this buzz about

1244
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Matthews Staffords having it, because there was buzz last year

1245
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: before the draft, which I there was posturing and maybe

1246
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: that's that's all it was. But you are sitting in

1247
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: a prime scenario at number three to get one of

1248
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks and kind of start over. And I think

1249
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: that not that you're thinking about Matthew Stafford, but I

1250
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: can't think of a quarterback who might suddenly take it

1251
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: up a notch by being on a different team in

1252
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: a different organization. If we say that about Philip Rivers,

1253
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I certainly feel a way about the Lions, but I

1254
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: think the Lions might be ready to move on with

1255
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: something different at quarterbacks. I'm not. It's not because he stinks.

1256
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: It's not because he's a detriment to especially on defense.

1257
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: But five totally unpredictable things happened between now and the

1258
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: drift you believe to who is gonna be the you

1259
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: know everyone thought was going to be the number one

1260
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: overall draft pick before this, you know, hip injury in

1261
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: Burrows rise. You know, if you believe in him as

1262
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: like a generational type of guy, it's it's not a

1263
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: crazy thing, and you can get a lot for Matthew Staffords.

1264
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: I think there are people who believe to even after

1265
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: the hip injury, has a much high your ceiling than

1266
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I would love to see if I was

1267
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Alliance fan and I I liked and thought that Matthew

1268
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,959
Speaker 1: Stafford had three to five, you know, great years left

1269
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: to take that pick and leverage it to have end

1270
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: up having three or four first round picks in this

1271
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: year and next, and then restocked that defense, which has

1272
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: been a disgrace. That's fine. All I'd say is you've

1273
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: got to trust the front office to do that. I

1274
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: think they can't. I don't have to trust them. I mean,

1275
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like if I was so, it's big

1276
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the Lions since two thousand and nine,

1277
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: and they feel to me like the same team the

1278
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: entire time. That's all I'm saying. I'm just build build

1279
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: a real team around the guy, or do that ten

1280
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm with you, I'm not, but they never

1281
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: have some maybe this would be an opportunity to really

1282
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: redo that roster the right way where we move on.

1283
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Can I Can I spend the wheel one more time? Yeah,

1284
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: we got a couple of guys, but here's one that

1285
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: just keeps getting disrespected. How about the old red rifle.

1286
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: It's not a wheel, by the way, Carrots, It's a

1287
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: wheel shaped whatever happened to the red rifle? Hey, every

1288
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: it's like everyone forgot to exist. He's still under contract

1289
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, very tradeable contract that the Bears the Bears.

1290
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: So you trade him, he's him on the Bears. I

1291
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: like that. And he's the guy who takes Mitch's job

1292
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: and then the Bears get better. That's how Ryan Pace

1293
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: sells this offseason. If you were a Bears fan, would

1294
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: you be excited about that better than not getting Andy Dalton?

1295
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: So we're solving our Mitch Drabinsky problem with with Andy Dalton. Yes,

1296
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: because you're getting Mitch Robinsky out of the building or

1297
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: out of that Well here's here's I got another one

1298
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: for you, potentially in Chicago. I just just thought of it.

1299
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: Let's spend the old carousel nick Foles for like a

1300
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: sixth round draft pick back to his buddy Matt Naggi

1301
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: where they buddies said they were together a little bit,

1302
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: and then he's the guy behind Mitchell. They're gonna try

1303
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: to like he's gonna to rid by week four, we're

1304
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna try to dump. They're gonna try to dump Foles

1305
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: for they'll have to pay some of his salary too.

1306
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,919
Speaker 1: It's just a disaster. But I don't think they're gonna

1307
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: want him. So guys left without a saddle here Brissette,

1308
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette, Teddy Bridgewater, Hill, Marcus Mariotta, Joe Flacco, and

1309
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't to be clear, I don't think Flacco is

1310
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: getting a sniff of a starting. A bunch of these

1311
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: guys are backups. It's it's a buyer's market, I think. Um.

1312
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: I think it's very hard Mark too, unless we want

1313
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: to put Mariota on the Bears too and solve their

1314
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: problem with Marcus Mariotta, because they think it's very hard

1315
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: if you're the Bears to find someone that's going to

1316
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: electrify the fan base this year. They're in a tricky

1317
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: situation where they're gonna keep the guy and hope he

1318
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: could figure it out. But if you can get somebody,

1319
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I think Dalton is a like almost a perfect um

1320
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: comparison point to Tannehill from last year, where you have

1321
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: a guy you put behind him that you know has

1322
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: done it in the past, that if he gets comfortable

1323
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: and is in the right spot, they could he could

1324
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: be a guy that can help you win games and

1325
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: score points. He's not dynamic. He's not gonna he's not

1326
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: gonna be fat heads. Do they still make fat heads?

1327
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be fat heads all over the walls

1328
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: of kids rooms in Chicago with Andy Dalton on it.

1329
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: But you never know, he might he might get hot,

1330
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: and he would be to me, a clear improvement over there. Well,

1331
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: on your side of the argument, Bears ownership seems allergic

1332
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: to creating a stir around their team, so that I

1333
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: do not. Andy Dalton fits perfectly with the wave, with

1334
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: what I seemed to think Bears owners. I would love

1335
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: to have a Dalton fat head with that red mohawk

1336
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: he used to be doing. Remember when he had the

1337
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: year and he went the red? I would what are

1338
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 1: you gonna do with this fat head? You know? I

1339
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: put it on the wall. That's what you do. You

1340
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: just gave longingly into Andy Dalton's eyes. Every not in

1341
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: my house. I don't see that happen, all right, don't

1342
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: worry Mark the Bears though, don't figure it out eventually.

1343
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I am not worried for them. But the idea that

1344
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: we are only allowed to shove like raging mid tier

1345
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: mezzanine level passers onto the roster. It's like, are they

1346
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: not treating the same as any other I hope they

1347
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: they look back at what they said on New Year's

1348
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Even and are embarrassed that they, you know, say Travis

1349
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: Ky is our guy for sure. Maybe they'll just change

1350
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: your mind. I'd applaud it. I think even Cam Newton, Yes,

1351
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: there's some sex appeal there of course with the name brand,

1352
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know, to me, Andy Donalton might

1353
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: be a better fit for that situation of the quarterbacks

1354
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 1: that we're all that are driving the news ship right now,

1355
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: and all of it will be out of the league

1356
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: in two years. It's just name recognition, aging, name recognition quarterbacks.

1357
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: None of them are the future of the NFL. They'll

1358
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: all be gone within two years. I mean, it's just

1359
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: prepares for Tom Brady goes right, Breeze and Brady, but

1360
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: all these younger guys, the Kobe, you know, Dalton Um

1361
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: all right, will be back on Thursday with another show. Um,

1362
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: so make sure you're there for that and uh anything else,

1363
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,920
