1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's having a great day live here from Hawaii. God,

3
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: what a what a beautiful place not live actually, because

4
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm a podcaster, so I'm recording it in the afternoon.

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Well not the if it was if you live in

6
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: New York, it's four thirty right now, it'd be ten

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: thirty at night. So it's six hour change from the

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: East coast, three hour chains from the West coast. It's

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: like you're in a different little world over here. But

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what we had? We had

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Roseman I probably set a record three trades on a Sunday,

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: August twenty fourth. I can't imagine that's ever been done before.

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: We got some quarterback stuff going on, We got Shador

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Caleb I definitely want to touch on as well as

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: just some overall thoughts when it comes to training camps.

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: And I was gonna wait to do a go lo

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: and some golf talk a little later this week. But

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Tommy Fleetwood finally gets over the hump, So just an

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: awesome day for him. We will dive into why I

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: think Tommy Fleetwood resonates with so many people, and yeah,

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: so we'll do a little golf talk at the end

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: as well as at gol pod, we'll answer a couple

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: questions for you as well. So we'll start off to

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: be about thirty minutes of football and then probably twenty

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: five minutes of golf. The game plan will be we'll

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: have a fantasy football podcast tomorrow that I recorded on

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Friday with one of our guys from the Fantasy Pros,

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: which is the biggest fantasy podcast on the internet. So

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: we'll post that tomorrow, and if anything else happens, I'll

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: give some takes on what's going on around the National

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Football League. But buckle up, so we're not done creating

Speaker 1: got you covered. Any NFL game. It doesn't get any

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: want to chime in on Howie really quick. He made

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: three trades a day. This is I know he's made

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: the John Metchi trade. There's probably a trade I'm missing.

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a chance he's made five or six

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: trades this preseason. And I think the difference in Howie

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: then the majority of these organizations, is how he is

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: able to take a big picture of view of his roster.

62
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Why because he's not a coach, and so many coaches

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: right now in the NFL have final say over their roster.

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: And you can say, obviously you get emotional about your starters,

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: the guys you draft. You'd be shocked how often their

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: position coaches, which essentially on an NFL team, Like for

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: how he has scouts, those are his people, that's his staff.

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: The assistant coaching staff is the head coaches people. It's

69
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: why some organizations, the Niners, for example, their assistant coaches

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: have a ton of juice in the draft. Why Kyle's

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: the boss. So if Kyle wants to draft a guy,

72
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: he is heavily influenced not by the scouting staff, but

73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: by his coaching staff. Well, how he's in charge, he's

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: in charge of the roster now come Sunday. How he's

75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: not calling the plays. He's not telling Vic Fango or

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: whoever his offensive coordinator specific plays to call. But during

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: this period of time, no one has more say currently

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL in terms of a GM or a

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: head coach than Howie Roseman. And these are the type

80
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: moves when you're not emotional about your roster. Now, some

81
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: of them they aren't like consequential you're talking about seventh

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: round picks for backups. But they are moves that a

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: lot of coaches won't necessarily make, especially when you're trading

84
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: guys out because a position coach goes. I really love

85
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: that guy. I've spent the last month and a half

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: in OTA's for the last couple of years. That's my guy. Well,

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: this is big business. No one gives a shit. So

88
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: if he's not going to play on Sundays, see you later.

89
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: And you watch the Cowboys documentary. Jimmy Johnson pretty rare

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: coach who could balance them both. He had the ability

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: to be pretty cutthroat but also be very close with

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: his teams. There's a small percentage of coach in the

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: history of the league that can do it. Obviously, Bill

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 1: Walsh was elite at it. Belichick for a long period

95
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: of time, and he's pretty freaking good at it. Most

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: coaches get very emotionally tied to their players, and this

97
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: is the time of year where it's like, what are

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: we talking about When you're talking about backups, when you're

99
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: talking about rotational, special teams players, this is the time

100
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: to operate like baseball, where there's no emotional they're all

101
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: just widgets on a sheet. We're not talking about trading

102
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: impact players on the field. And I don't think it's

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: by happenstance or by coincidence that Howie has been running

104
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: circles around the majority of the league now for several years.

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: And you compare the Eagles to the Cowboys, which is,

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry becoming the owner, the GM, the pseudo coach.

107
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: He's very emotionally tied to everything, and he's obviously like

108
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: the director. And he's talked about this in that documentary.

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: When it comes to he likes the drama of it all.

110
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: He's just too in the weeds. He's just too close

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: to the sun. How he has this great balance of

112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: obviously he's very close to his star players. But if

113
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: you're not like a high impact guy at any moment,

114
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: and this goes for coaching staff, goes for scouting staff.

115
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Trust me, I've been there. You can be replaced in

116
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: a New York minute, and that benefits the team. And

117
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: you hear these gms talk about all the time that

118
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: are like, I do what's in the best interest of

119
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the organization. Bullshit, because how often they draft a guy

120
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: in the second round, in the third round, and that

121
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: guy gets chance after chance after chance, like what are

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: we doing? Like why are we wasting time here? And

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: that does not fly in Philadelphia. And one of their

124
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: greatest strengths is having the GM run the roster is

125
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: the emotional separation from the players. So yeah, I draft

126
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: you in the fourth round. I don't care you're not

127
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: good enough to you later. And that's why when you

128
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: watch them play over the last several years, when it works,

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: it looks as good as any That's why they've been

130
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: in two Super Bowls in three years. Why they just

131
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: won the last one there and they're technically not favored somehow,

132
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Ravens, who have never beat the Chiefs,

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: are currently favored to win the Super Bowl. But why

134
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the NFC you know, favorite. But I

135
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: think that's a huge, huge advantage. And let's face it,

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: most of these gms in the NFL don't have as

137
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: much juice as you think they do just by their title.

138
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Why because the coach makes double or triple what they make.

139
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: And it's just basic economics when one guy makes twelve

140
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: million dollars and the other guy makes four. When we're

141
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: when we're complaining and we're arguing, who do you think

142
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: is gonna have final say when they both look at

143
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the owner, The Owner's gonna go with the guy he's

144
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: paying most money. And I'm not even I don't know

145
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: how much how he makes relative to Sirianni. And there's

146
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: a chance just because of Sirianni's job title. You know,

147
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: even if how we were to make ten million dollars

148
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: a year in the highest page GM, maybe Sirianni makes eleven.

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: But we know who's in charge, and Sirianne's no dumbing.

150
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: He lets how he do that, and he doesn't argue

151
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: about it because he knows it works. And I think

152
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: it's a huge, huge advantage when it comes to the

153
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, and you know why, I think we'd all

154
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: be stunned. It would take a rash of injuries for

155
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: them not to be in the NFC Championship Game. Another

156
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: thing that I just want to get out there because

157
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this when I was flying here

158
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. I downloaded the Chiefs Bears game because I

159
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't watch it live on Friday night, and I saw

160
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of people have different takes, and you know,

161
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: whether Caleb played well, whether he didn't, and then I

162
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: saw Ben Johnson's quote of basically like calling the offensive

163
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: execution on the first couple drives a complete embarrassment. And

164
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: every industry changes over the course of time. Right, Amazon

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: didn't exist twenty years ago in the nature exists now

166
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: why because they were selling books and now they literally

167
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: sell everything that's delivered right to your door. But one

168
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: thing that can't be disputed when you do when you

169
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: order something off Amazon, it arrives within twelve twenty four hours.

170
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: Somehow my dumbass orders things that like take six days.

171
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: But for my wife's really good at this. She press

172
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: a button and things there in half a day. It's

173
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: why they run circles around every single company in America.

174
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: And like business is still pretty simple, like can you

175
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: do something for me that I want? Do you provide

176
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: a service that I'm willing to pay for? And Amazon service,

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: let's just be real, is as good as it gets.

178
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: If you don't like it, you send it back, you

179
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: press a button. It doesn't get any easier that they

180
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: are so consumer friendly. And I think sometimes quarterback play,

181
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: like the NFL is a lot different than it was

182
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five years ago. Right the game I'm watching

183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: some of that Cowboys documentary. I mean the forty nine

184
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Ers and Cowboys going at it. They were playing with slower, bigger,

185
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: two down middle linebackers Ken Norton junior Gary Plummer. The

186
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys played the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl with

187
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Greg Lloyd. I mean, these are two hundred and sixty

188
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: pound linebackers that aren't great space players, but if you

189
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: run the ball, you know between the tackles they will

190
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: meet whoever you are sending and fucking wreck their world.

191
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: Those guys don't exist anymore, right, The badass middle linebackers

192
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: are Fred Warren, who would have been considered small twenty

193
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: five thirty years ago in that era. Well, things changed,

194
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, football still has

195
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities that it did back then. Can

196
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: you be an efficient offense? Can you generate touchdowns in

197
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: the red zone? Can you convert first downs more often

198
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: than not? Can you get off the field on defense

199
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: in the red zone? Are you a good third down defense?

200
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Do you have a good pass rush? Are you good

201
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: tackling team? Are you a well coached team? Do you

202
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: have high level competitors like there are a lot of

203
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: similarities and while spread offense. Quarterbacks are looked upon differently

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: than they were back in the day, and I would

205
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: say teams are much more open minded when it comes

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: to evaluating those players. Look at the best quarterback in

207
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, Patrick Mahomes, where does he come from? Spread offense?

208
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Texas Tech? I remember Andy Reid told me. I was like,

209
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: was that weird for you trying to evaluate this guy?

210
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: You have West Coast roots, which is like prototypical old

211
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: school NFL under center with two running backs, a tight end,

212
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: two wide receivers, to this guy running five wide receiver

213
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: sets in college. He said, no, not at all. Actually

214
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: it made it easier. I just siphoned the passes that

215
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: he threw behind the line of scrimmage because those had

216
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a little to no value in my evaluation of the player.

217
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: But if he threw it fifty times a game and

218
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: I remove those ten passes, it was still forty passes

219
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: that I got to evaluate. So back in the day,

220
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: when there's a quarterback coming out, maybe they got twenty

221
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: twenty two attempts every single game in college. Now I

222
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: get to watch a guy even if he had fifty

223
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: to fifty five attempts and only eighty percent of them

224
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: matter to me. That's still twenty thirty percent more than

225
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: I used to be able to evaluate guys in the nineties.

226
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I never thought of it that way.

227
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: And one thing that will never change with quarterback play

228
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL that is a lot different than college

229
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: is you have to get rid of the football because

230
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: when you were a great player in college, you can

231
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: play make, you can add lib, you can do shit

232
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: that you're opponents cannot do. There was a reason Johnny

233
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Manziel beat Nick Saban in the middle of his dynasty

234
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: because in college you can just play make and you

235
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: can do things. That doesn't translate to the NFL. It

236
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: has a couple times. Russell Wilson, I would say, is

237
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: an outlier player. He was a playmaking guy outside the

238
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: tackle box. That's what made him up. I mean, it's

239
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: gotten weird at the end, but a potential future Hall

240
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: of Famer and for a stretch of six or seven

241
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: years one of the best players in the NFL. He

242
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: was truly one of the great playmakers in the NFL.

243
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson for about two and a half seasons was

244
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: very similar. He would destroy you ad libbing on the

245
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: fly making plays outside the pocket. Both those guys held

246
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: on the ball way too long. They drove offensive coordinators

247
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: nuts because two step, three step, get rid of the ball.

248
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: They did not do that. They could not do that.

249
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: But they were so great at their playmaking ability. They

250
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: made Pro Bowls and a guy like Russell Wilson, you know,

251
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: went to the to the Super Bowl twice. Caleb Williams,

252
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: I'll promise you this. I give Caleb Williams eight to

253
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: ten games to prove to Ben Johnson that this can work.

254
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: Because Middlecoff, you're what we have seen this time and

255
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: time again in this modern day NFL. You get to

256
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: going into year three to prove you can play or

257
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: they will get rid of you. Trey Lance. They traded

258
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: three first round picks for the guy, and he was

259
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: on a different team week one, year three. Anthony Richardson, Honestly,

260
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: by the time you're listening to this, could be on

261
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: another team. He was given two seasons. Now. Ben Johnson

262
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with Caleb his rookie season. But

263
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: this year, I you know, if I was a betting man,

264
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: if it goes well, obviously he's going to be the

265
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: quarterback there for a while. But if it doesn't, he's

266
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: not getting some multi year leash. That is not the

267
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: way it works. And Ben Johnson said the other day

268
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: that was basically an embarrassment that that's a I thought

269
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: we were past this. And every single time he talks

270
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: about the backup quarterback and listen, I'm not acting like

271
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: Tyson Badgett is the next stud player. But I know this.

272
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,479
Speaker 1: The head coach likes him a lot, talks about him glowingly,

273
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: and then when you watch him play, you know what

274
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: he does. He gets rid of the ball quickly. You

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: know what Caleb's problem is, and this is what made

276
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: him a great prospect in college at least too many,

277
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: especially in the media, that kind of, you know, give

278
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: each other a reach around when you make plays, and listen,

279
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I get excited for this too. When you kind of

280
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: run around and make plays in the NFL, that doesn't

281
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: consistently work, especially when you're head coach. And this is

282
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders problem. Like you watch your door in college,

283
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: it's awesome. He is an instinctive player and he can

284
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: make a lot of plays. But in the construct of

285
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: a construct of an NFL offense, Kevin Stefanski, the Shanahans.

286
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: They like everything to be timed to the second couple steps.

287
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: I want you the ball out of your hand because

288
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm designing the play. I'm in charge. Unless you're Russell

289
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Wilson in his prime, you're not good enough to figure

290
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: the shit out just on your own. And Shador definitely

291
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: isn't the physical talent of Caleb Williams. But those guys

292
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: at Libability is like, it's why should Door Sanders the

293
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: fourth string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. People are like, Oh,

294
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: he's way better than Dylan Gabriel, And listen, I thought

295
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: he was a better prospect than Dylan Gabriel. But when

296
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: you've watched Dylan Gabriel in the two games that he's

297
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: played in the preseason, the balls in his hands when

298
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: he's under center, and pretty quickly it's out of his hands.

299
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: You know who likes that. The head coach. You know

300
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: who's calling plays in most of these places, the head coach,

301
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. The offense is his baby. And you watch

302
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, there is no disputing his arm talent. And

303
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for arm talent. I like it just

304
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: like the next guy. I come from. Andy Reid. We

305
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: like big arms, But I watch Patrick Mahomes in that game,

306
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not comparing Patrick Mahomes to Caleb Williams.

307
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be fair to Caleb. Patrick Mahomes is already

308
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: probably a top five quarterback of all time. I would

309
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: say that Patrick has basically mastered the position because his

310
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: is elite. But what he's great at and what makes

311
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: him an all time great is on third and six,

312
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: when you need those seven yards and the play is

313
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: called and is executed, that ball will be out of

314
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: his hands on the guy's hand like that. There is

315
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: no Oh, I'm just gonna run out of a pocket

316
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't need to be run out of. You cannot

317
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: play offense at the highest level and be a good

318
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: player when you do that, and you watch the door. Obviously,

319
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: he's a rookie, and listen, he's a fifth round pick.

320
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: But that's the reason that he's not above Dylan Gabriel.

321
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel, the plays called, He'll run it and the

322
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: ball's out of his hands quickly, and listen. Sometimes people

323
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: in the front office in the scouting community, we argue

324
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: with coaching staffs over that, but they value that to

325
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: the highest degree. And when I watch Kayleb Williams, Ben

326
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Johnson the offense no different than Kyle, no different than

327
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, no different than some of these highly tightly

328
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: wound coaches. And one thing, like, I didn't know Ben

329
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: Johnson that well when he was the offensive coordinator of

330
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Why he talked once a week. Dan

331
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: Campbell was truly the voice of the team, And honestly,

332
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: I thought Ben Johnson was kind of reserved, Like didn't

333
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: one thing I've really seen his personality being the head coach,

334
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Like he's kind of a hard ass, Like he actually

335
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: has some Dan Campbell in him, kind of has a

336
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: little Kyle Shanahan into him. Like I was like, damn,

337
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: he's kind of grown on me. But one thing that

338
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: will not fly is when the play is called. And

339
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: even he said this the other day after the game

340
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, when they ask him, like that sack

341
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: that happened to Caleb, Like what do you think He's like, Well,

342
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: he had the ball in his hands for five seconds.

343
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: Clearly that was on him. I might be screwing up

344
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 1: the quote a little bit, but ultimately a point is this,

345
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna fly holding onto the football, it will

346
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: not be tolerated there. And if the Bears do not

347
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: do well offensively and if it looks and I'm not

348
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: trying to just overreact purely because they're playing the Chiefs,

349
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: who are I don't know, dominated the league for seven

350
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: straight years and are a defensive team, that's a tough matchup.

351
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: Caleb should get his ass kicked. But when they're playing

352
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: other teams, especially Week one against the Minnesota Vikings, Brian

353
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Flores is one of the better defensive coordinators. And if

354
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: he's holding that ball Sam Darnold did this last year,

355
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: holding on to that thing, holding on to that thing,

356
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna work. And anyone saying that it will

357
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: is either disingenuous about it because they have like an

358
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: agenda and they want to be proven right. I would

359
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: have drafted Caleb Williams number one overall too, So I'm

360
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: not like anti Caleb here. I don't blame them at

361
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: all for picking them, though it's their jobs to get

362
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: it right, not to have like the media and people

363
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: that talk about football give them a thumbs up. So

364
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: like you watch Jayden Daniels the balls out of his

365
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: hands when it needs to be out of his hands.

366
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: You watch Caleb, sometimes it is and sometimes it is not.

367
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: And we're gonna find out can that be tat or not?

368
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Because we know Ben Johnson is good at coaching offense,

369
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: and we know his offense works, and we know they

370
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: have a really good offensive line. We know they have

371
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: good offensive pieces. But when you hold onto the football

372
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: and take sacks. One thing I think that age poorly

373
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: is we all thought that Pete Carroll and the Seattle

374
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks were like idiots for getting down on Russell, when

375
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: behind the scenes they kept saying like, not all these

376
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: sacks from our offensive line. Our offensive line doesn't suck

377
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: as much as you guys think. It's hard to run

378
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: offense with this little guy, and it was like, like,

379
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: oh shut up, Pete, you got Russell Wilson. And looking back,

380
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that was a little frustrating, even though

381
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: there were times like, well, he's so good, you got

382
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: to deal with it, and you guys were winning, but

383
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: when you don't win, and towards the end they weren't

384
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: winning as much like Russell, you're done so and this

385
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: is Ben Ben Johnson didn't drift this guy, so you

386
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: hold onto that football and that offense doesn't work, see

387
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: you later. So that's just something to keep. I give

388
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: it to Halloween if it's not going well. I mean

389
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: it would be like he's not getting all year to

390
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: start if it's going shitty. If it's going well, yeah,

391
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: but they gave that contract. The more and more I

392
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: thought about them giving the contract to the backup is like,

393
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 1: you don't fuck with the quarterback, even if you're you know,

394
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: obviously Ben Johnson. Ryan Poles isn't doing anything Ben Johnson,

395
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: especially the six months that doesn't want to happen, but

396
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: specifically with the quarterback. Even in places where the GM

397
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: has a lot of juice, they will on their coaching

398
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: staff when it comes to that position. That head coach

399
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: loves that backup quarterback because they did not need to

400
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: give him a contract, and they did that one. I mean,

401
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: he's an asset, he's a good player, but also like

402
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: we need a contingency plan if it gets weird. I

403
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: know everyone's thrown us a parade, and I'm guilty of

404
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: this too. For that one drive he had against the

405
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: Bills playing the twos with you know, heavy legs. How

406
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: about when they played the Chiefs when they tried it

407
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: was a fucking embarrassment. A couple other quick things. The

408
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: preseason just needs to go away. Let's be real, The

409
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: preseason used to be kind of entertaining because it would

410
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: accelerate as the weeks went on. Like the first week,

411
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: your starters would get a couple series, second week, your

412
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: starters would get a quarter, third week they would get

413
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: a half. So when there were four preseason games at least,

414
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: you would chime in know you were getting that every

415
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: team did it. It was like universally no one did

416
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the McVeigh where no one plays. Now it feels like

417
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: everyone does it and no one takes the preseasons here.

418
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm not naive enough. I get it. You sell

419
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty seasons, like you sell twenty games to the networks.

420
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: You sell eight or nine game technically ten game packages

421
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: to your season ticket holders, so you need something to

422
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: show in August. Right, there's a reason like the Bears

423
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: preseason game, or you know, any of the nationally televised

424
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: preseason games are blowing out everything else on television. So

425
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying you can go away, but whatever's

426
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: going on currently in these preseason games, because i was.

427
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: I went for a little run this morning in Hawaii

428
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: and I put on a couple of my guys, Kawakami

429
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: and Matt Barrows, who covered the forty nine ers, and

430
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: they were just at this Charger of forty nine or

431
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: preseason game, and Barrows was like, I've been covering the

432
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: NFL for two and a half decades. That's as bad

433
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: of a couple of quarters to start that game as

434
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: you'll ever see. It's because even Jim Harbon and Kyle Shanahan,

435
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: who are old school old like you know, wired from

436
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: like the eighties and the nineties the way they think

437
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: about football, don't take it seriously, let alone the MG world.

438
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: It's an awful product. Now it still works, it still

439
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: gets a lot of people to watch, but when you're

440
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: selling these tickets as part of the package, we got

441
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: to figure out a way. I don't have a solution,

442
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: but I do feel like the preseason a couple of

443
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: years ago, once people started following McVeigh, it's like, Okay,

444
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter as much. We don't need to be

445
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: as dialed in. Now I feel the product is atrocious.

446
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: It's just like, what the fuck are we watching here?

447
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, could we get some

448
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: some of those joint practices, could we get those on

449
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: television something, because I do think that would work. Whatever.

450
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: This preseason situation is, watching these second and third stringers

451
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. As someone that makes his living

452
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: off football, who loves football, it's just it's unwatchable. It

453
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: truly is. And last but not least, when it comes

454
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: to the preseason and these guys getting cut. I've been

455
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: that guy that had to. Back in the day, I

456
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: was kind of right at the transition between playbooks iPads.

457
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: You kind of had to By the time I was

458
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: kind of moving up up the you know, totem pull

459
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: on in the organization, they had both. But I've been

460
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: the guy that meets the person in the training room

461
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and takes them up to the

462
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: head coach the GM's room. It sucks. I've been the

463
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: guy that drives that guy to the airport or the

464
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: train station when they get cuts. It's a miserable experience.

465
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: And as my life went on, like I've been fired

466
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and I stand by this and

467
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: I will say this till the day I die. Sometimes

468
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: these moments are the best thing that ever happened to you.

469
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: And in some walks of life, when you get fired,

470
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: when you go bankrupt or whatever, you never recover. And

471
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: if mentally you can't get over it, you're fucked. You're

472
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be And I've said these stories before. I know

473
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: people that were friends with my dad. You know, back

474
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: in the eighties and the seventies, there were you know,

475
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: society like economics, economic like when it comes to the

476
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: business world can be very fickle, and things like recessions

477
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: would destroy people. Some people could bounce right back because

478
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: they were mentally tough. They were just willing to keep swinging. Basically,

479
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: they didn't know if they could you kind of build

480
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: themselves back. But I think football is very similar. There

481
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: have been a ton of players in the Hall of

482
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Fame who have been cut early on in their career.

483
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: There are a ton of guys that go to the

484
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, that become all pros, that get cut and

485
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: spend times with the practice squad. Sometimes there's nothing you

486
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: can do when you're on a team and you get cut.

487
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: It's not even your fault. You just weren't either given

488
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: the opportunities. Honestly, with that given team, you never had

489
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: a chance because of the numbers game that these guys

490
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: were already making a lot of money that they had

491
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: already slotted in you as a practice squad player before

492
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: preseason even started. But if you go on with the

493
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: mentality that like, I got time on my side, and

494
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: there is no sport and there is no industry where

495
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: opportunities are guaranteed, I mean guaranteed to arise, right. You know,

496
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: for a fact, even healthy teams don't even need to

497
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: be the forty nine ers. Guys are going to get injured.

498
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: So when you get cut and they add you to

499
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: the practice squad, which is a big financial difference. I

500
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: think I saw the veteran minimum. So if you're like

501
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: the fifty third guy on the roster, even if you're

502
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: not dressing on game day, you're gonna make eight hundred

503
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: and fifty K. And if you're I used to say

504
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: that was a shitload of money, But nowadays some of

505
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: these guys withinn Il like Quinn you or is on

506
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: the practice squad, like he was making several million dollars.

507
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: So even if he did make the fifty three, making

508
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty k, is you know, taking a

509
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: pay cut, But it is what it is. But my

510
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: point is, like, no one's gonna feel sorry for you

511
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: even if you're not dressing on game day and you're

512
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster, But being on the

513
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: practice squad sucks. There's no way, you know, travel with

514
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: the team. For the most part your practice situation, you're

515
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: not taking any meaningful reps. You're on the scout team,

516
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and you can be removed at any moment. But those

517
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: guys consistently get added to the fifty three man roster,

518
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: and whether it's with your team, whether it's with another team,

519
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: it's almost guaranteed to happen. I don't have the numbers

520
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: in front of me, but I would imagine guys that

521
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: start Week one on the practice squad, over half get

522
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: elevated throughout the course of the season, and a strong

523
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: percentage of those guys become contributing players, whether it's special teams,

524
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: whether it's rotation players on offense or defense, and whether

525
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: by the end of the year, if there's some injuries,

526
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: you become a starter. And then within a couple of years,

527
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: not only are you're a starter, you're a high end starter,

528
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: and they give you a contract extension. So I'm sure

529
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: we'll see it on Hard Knocks. Guys getting cut, it's

530
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: an emotional time. You feel like you've worked your whole life.

531
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, for the most part, if you're a rookie

532
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: guy and you've been drafted in the fifth or sixth

533
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: round and you get cut, you've never failed, right most

534
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: of the I guess now with the transfer portal, some

535
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: of them have had different paths than the years previous.

536
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: But a lot of these guys are used to being

537
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: the star guy in high school, getting seven to eight

538
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: ten scholarship offers from all the sweet schools, putting on

539
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: a hat in front of everybody, and then going on

540
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to be a good player in college. And whether you're

541
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: a great NFL prospect or not the reason you go

542
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: in the fourth or the fifth round, but you're used

543
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: to succeeding. And even if it's like, is it really

544
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: that negative of a thing to get drafted in the

545
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: fourth round, But those guys get cut, and a lot

546
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: of these guys are gonna get cut over the course

547
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: of the next twenty four to forty eight hours, and

548
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: it's just not the end of the world. It really isn't. Honestly,

549
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: It's like the start of an opportunity because if that

550
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: team goes, I want you to be on my practice squad,

551
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: and if you've done a good enough job in the preseason.

552
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Every team is evaluating these players, so they go seven

553
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: eight teams are calling you like, I want you on

554
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: my practice squad as well, because if you get cut

555
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: and you pass through waivers, you can join any practice

556
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: squad you want. You are not controlled by that team.

557
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: You don't have to. Let's just use the Eagles for example.

558
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: If I was on the Eagles and they drafted me

559
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: in the sixth round, they cut me, I make it

560
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: through waivers. I don't have to go back on the

561
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: Eagles practice squad even if how he wants me, I

562
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: can go. Let's say the Packers, Let's say the Rams.

563
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,239
Speaker 1: Let's say that. Let's say the forty nine Ers call

564
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: me and I'm a wide receiver and they go, hey,

565
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: I want you on my practice squad. You look around

566
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: you they got a million injuries. You go to their

567
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: practice squad because you're a couple of weeks away, like

568
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: you might be their starting wide receiver. So it's just

569
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: it's a unique industry that way. Most places that when

570
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: you're young and you get kicked to the curb. It's

571
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: a big kick in the nuts and it sucks. And listen,

572
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you're not able to be like

573
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: emotionally down if you're a player. It's a tough time.

574
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: It's a very unique time experience to go through, given

575
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: that it's such a public job and you've always, for

576
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: the most part, probably had success. But I promise you this,

577
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: We're going to see so many of these guys cut

578
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days. We're going to be

579
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: hearing their names, not just this season, but for seasons

580
00:28:52,320 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: to come. The rivalries, the marching bands, the upset Saturdays

581
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: just got way more fun. College football is back, baby.

582
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: Think you know the game. Put your college football knowledge

583

00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: and so much more. DraftKings Sportsbook has you covered. Here's

586
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: the thing. There is no bigger game than Saturday Morning Texas.

587
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State. I understand arch has never started a big game,

588
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: played a couple last year, but never anything like this.

589
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State lost a ton of guys to the draft.

590
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: I think this Texas team. If Arch lives up to

591
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: the hype poise to win an addie, I'm taking Texas.

592
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: I know it's at the shoe. I know it's a

593
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: tough environment. I just think, as Earl Woods used to

594
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: tell Tiger Woods, let the legend grow. That's what I

595
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: would tell Arch Manning. Go win this game, cover that

596
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: spread money line, let the legend grow. And here's something

613
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's transition to a little Golf Talk a little

614
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Go Low podcast. I was like, let's just combine these

615
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: two is probably the easiest thing to do. Uh. My

616
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: game plan earlier in the week was to wait a

617
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: couple of days, but we had such a big Sunday

618
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: that I was like, you know what, let's uh, let's

619
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: let's do a little bit. Because Tommy Fleetwood finally gets

620
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: over the hump wins his first PGA Tour event just

621
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks removed, Let's let's just dive right

622
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: into it. I I thought his reaction after beating Justin

623
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: or after lose excuse me, losing to Justin Rose, his

624
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: good friend several weeks ago, is one of the better

625
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: moments in sports this year. And I think, and I

626
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about it today when I was on a

627
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: walk that and I've said this before, when you resonate

628
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: with people, obviously the good times, I mean watching this

629
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: Cowboy documentary, you know, Aikman, Irvin Emmett Jimmy. I mean,

630
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: I grew up on the forty nine ers with Steve

631
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: Young and Jerry Riser, had a front row seat to

632
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Buster Posey and Steph Curry. When you're winning and you're

633
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: a good guy and your fun at the highest level,

634
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: people are gonna love you. But when you lose, especially

635
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: if you lose a lot, there are two pass you

636
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: can take. You can either be the guy that everyone

637
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: hates and like, I'm glad you lost, and golf has that,

638
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, Colin Morikawa this year and I don't want

639
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: to keep beating a dead horse, but had a moment

640
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: against Russell Henley at Bayhill where it's like you lost.

641
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: It sucks, like we all watched. But like when you

642
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: talk with the quote unquote media after, it's not about

643
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: golf dot Com or someone writing in Sports Illustrated in

644
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six about your devastating loss and about your emotions.

645
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: No one's consuming any of that stuff. We're just watching

646
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: on TV. And that video then will go viral on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter,

647
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: you name it, and people will be moved by you

648
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: talking about your loss. It's hard to see and Colin

649
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Morrikawa as he said, like I don't know you guys

650
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: anything essentially says double middle fingers, FU, I don't know you. Shit.

651
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: If I don't feel like talking to you after, I

652
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: won't you know who? That does a disservice to us,

653
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: the consumer, the fans. Why because I want to hear

654
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: from you after a loss. It actually might make me

655
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: like you more so. Tommy Fleetwood, who had made thirty

656
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: million dollars plus in his career before today and it

657
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: had never won a tournament, is not from America. We

658
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: can't relate to, Oh, that guy that grew up in

659
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, for the guy that grew up in Fort Worth, Texas,

660
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: or that guy that grew up in PA. No, he's

661
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: from across the pond. But him will his willingness to

662
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: speak after these moments, and as he did with Justin Rose,

663
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: his second devastating loss this season. He had already lost

664
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: to Kegan Bradley when he had one shot lead going

665
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: into eighteen. He loses to Justin Rose when he had

666
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: a multiple shot lead on the back nine, who is

667
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: literally one of his good friends, and he's in tears

668
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: after the tournament. That resonates with people. You're like God,

669
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: this what a good what a that sucks? You feel

670
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: for him? People have always said this, Listen, people might

671
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: view Greg Norman as a douchebag, but like when he lost,

672
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: when he blew a six shot lead at Augusta to

673
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: Nick Faldo, he spoke after and there was a reason

674
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: Like that shark logo was on a lot of our

675
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: shoulders in the nineties. He resonated with people. I've said

676
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: this about politicians forever. Either resonate with people, or you

677
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: don't like Kamala Harris lost for one reason and one

678
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: reason only. People didn't like her. This isn't a complicated formula.

679
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: It's no different with our athletes. Now. If you're good

680
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: and you're winning a lot, we will look past your personality.

681
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: But when you're not viewed as quote unquote a winner,

682
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: we kind of nitpick you. It's like, is this a

683
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: good guy? Should we like this guy? Should we root

684
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: for this guy? And Tommy Fleetwood has been one of

685
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: those people that it's like, it seems like, what an

686
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: awesome human being, what a good person, what an excellent player?

687
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: Why can't he win? And it felt like, almost like

688
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: a tragic story, he was never going to win. And

689
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: some people Scotty Jeffert's like, is he gonna win like

690
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 1: fifty times? The Tiger Woods won ninety times, even Phil.

691
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: After a while, it's like, God, this guy just wins

692
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: a lot. And you watch Tommy Fleetwood and yeah, I

693
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: kind of came to grips he just might never win.

694
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Someone asked me the other day on social media, do

695
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna win this weekend? I was like, no,

696
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: I don't, not because I don't want him to win,

697
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: not because it wouldn't be an unreal story, but because

698
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think he can do it after watching

699
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: his devastating losses. And do you know what shows you

700
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: female said this a couple of years ago. A winner

701
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: is just a loser that kept on trying. And I

702
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: think the one respectable part about Tommy Fleetwood is he

703
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: kind of just kept showing up with the same attitude

704
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: and playing really well. He didn't pout, he didn't act

705
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: like some pompous asshole, which, let's face a golfer's hand.

706
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: And I mean, all these guys at the highest level

707
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: live in big mansions, fly private jets, live elite lives,

708
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: and most of them don't, I would say, contribute much

709
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: to the revenue generation that provides that life. It was

710
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: my biggest issue with Colin Morikawa. I don't owe you anything, Colin.

711
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 1: This is not about the scribe sitting there in front

712
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: of you in the press conference. This is about everyone

713
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: that watches you. This is about people that followed the sport,

714
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: those four or five million people that every week, non major,

715
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: that watched these events. And there was a reason today

716
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: that in Atlanta, Georgia, they started chanting for a guy

717
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: from the UK, Tomy tom Me. They would not have

718
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: done that for Patrick Cantley, they would not have done

719
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: that for Russell Henley, who I'm pretty sure played at

720
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: Georgia right as a Southern guy. They did that because emotionally,

721
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: they were all invested into Tommy's story no different than

722
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: this year. Like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson or Kyle

723
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: Shanahan or a guy like that finally gets over the hump,

724
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: it'll be powerful. And the NFL has done a great

725
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: job of this over the years. They mandate their guy's talk.

726
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: It's not just about get a microphone in front of

727
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: Sirianni or Andy Reid after they win the Super Bowl.

728
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: What's Cam Newton saying after he lost the Super Bowl.

729
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: What did Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey say after they

730
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: lost the Super Bowl? You know why, because most of

731
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: us humans can relate to losing, can relate to struggle,

732
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: whether it's in a PGA golf tournament or whether it's

733
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: in our everyday lives. And I actually think Tommy Fleetwood,

734
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm jealous that he's not an American player. I say,

735
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: this is someone that loves this country. I like Europeans

736
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup team and specifically him, he honestly feels and listen,

737
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: we're pretty lucky with Scotty, who's a great guy and

738
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: obviously an elite player who There was a moment today

739
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: I flipped on the TV. He was two shots back

740
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: and going to whole fifteen, and it was like, if

741
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: he birdies this whole, Tommy, this is gonna be a problem.

742
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: Tommy's gonna lose Scotty Scheffler a tour championship. And Scotty

743
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: hid in the water and kind of ended his chances.

744
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: But I just thought that was a really cool moment

745
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: and for really what seems like, by all accounts, you know,

746
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: this isn't one of those Tiger well it's like it

747
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: was the buick and Nike's marketing campaign, Like I had

748
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: some issues off the field, Like, what's a guy that

749
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: you kind of had to keep an eye on, you know,

750
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: has had some problems? Phil A lot of people say

751
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: and I like Phil. You know, it could be a

752
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: little bill like a politician. You know, a lot of smiles,

753
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of handshacks, and says some different things when

754
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: the cameras are off listen. I don't know. I don't

755
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: know these guys personally, but like you've listened to enough

756
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: people and know enough people work in the world, I

757
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: do you hear different things you talk to everybody and

758
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: publicly privately, The way they talk about Tommy Fleet would

759
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: honestly parallels a lot of Scottie Scheffler. Just seems like

760
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: a great guy. And if you're gonna win your first

761
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: tournament over here in the States, pretty cool that it

762
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: happens for ten million dollars. You know, it's not quite

763
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: what it used to be twenty five million dollars, but

764
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a tournament ten million dollars not And

765
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: that that moment where his step son came running on

766
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: the course and hugged him on eighteen and was in tears.

767
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: There's just a human element at the end of the day.

768
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: This is entertainment. And I saw Rees Davis say this

769
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: about Lee Corso, who is obviously retiring and done. I

770
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: think he's gonna make it one last appearance at Ohio

771
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: State Texas is like, this is showbiz. This is entertainment.

772
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: Football's our vehicle, like golf's the vehicle here, but this

773
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: is all entertainment. That's that's the business model. And some

774
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: guys get it, Tommy Fleetwood and obviously some guys on

775
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: our side here in America clearly do not. And it

776
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: makes you smile that big win for the good guys.

777
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: Speaking about the good guys, John Rahm and Bryson d Schambeau.

778
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: The Live Team Championship came down between the is what

779
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: if you live and you paid these premiums for everybody

780
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when they first started and

781
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: DJ started winning everything, Like that's how you want to start.

782
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: You want the guys you're paying the most money to

783
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: and your biggest stars, which are obviously Bryson's their biggest star,

784
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: and I would say John Rahm is their second biggest star,

785
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: to be your most important players and those guys going

786
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: at it today in their team format with Terrell Hatten

787
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: and Paul Casey. Watch some of it. John Rahm and

788
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: his squad end up winning. But like that is the

789
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: way for this thing to progress. You need your best

790
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: players and your biggest stars to win a lot. It

791
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: basically has to become tennis like with Roger Federer or

792
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: you know, Pete Sampras or Rafael and Nadal, and you

793
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: need your top guys to win all the time. And

794
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: if they do, people are gonna be interested. And Bryson

795
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: d Chambeau going at it with John Rahm like that

796
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: was pretty good theater down the stretch, Bryson doing fist pumps,

797
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: John Ron making big birdies. And that's the way this

798
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: thing is gonna have a chance. Because those two guys

799
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: are under contract again in twenty twenty six, and they

800
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: are the two most important players on Live in terms

801
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: of the national scale. They're both going to be playing

802
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: at the Ryder Cup obviously Bryson's I mean, you could

803
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: argue behind Scotty, especially at Beth Page, our second best

804
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: player is a guy that's gonna play. You know, Bryson

805
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: and John Rahm are five match guys. They play both

806
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: matches Thursday, they play both matches Friday, and obviously they

807
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: play singles, and depending on how it's going for the Europeans,

808
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: like John Ram's a guy you can throw at first,

809
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine Scotty Cheffler would go for well. I

810
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: guess if Keigan Bradley's on the team, Keegan potentially go

811
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: first in singles. But you know Bryson's going to be

812
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: one of our most important guys. So good to see

813
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: those guys playing well. The lift Sason ends and you

814
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: know Rom won eighteen million dollars LA last week. I

815
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: would imagine his team. You know, I know this if

816
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: I played for LIV and you're like, what teams do

817
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: you like? That first year, you'd want to be a

818
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: part of DJ's he had a ton of momentum, Pat Perez,

819
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: those guys profit all the way to the bank right now,

820
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: and next year you want to be on Bryson or

821
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: John rom squad because those guys are monsters and really quick.

822
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: On the Ryder Cup thing, the Europeans look pretty good. Obviously,

823
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: Tommy's in elite form, John Rom's playing great. You know,

824
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: you know Rory will be ready, Rose, Bobby McIntyre's Their

825
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: squad looks good. I do think from American standpoint, I

826
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: don't even think it's an argument anymore. Keithan Bradley's on

827
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: the team. And when you look at the top six

828
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: they got announced last week because of the points or

829
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: earlier this week we got six spots up for grabs,

830
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: and we know Justin Thomas is on the team. I

831
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: think at this point in time, you know Cameron Young's

832
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: on the team. I think Patrick Can'tley. Listen, little douchey,

833
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: I would say, not someone that most people root for,

834
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: but if in this event I want him on my team,

835
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: he takes. He was one of our better players a

836
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: couple of years ago in Rome, the no hat pat

837
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: like he just kind of into it. So boys was Ander.

838
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: I think Keegan, that's four. Then I think you got

839
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: a couple spots, and listen, I'm not trying to kick

840
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: calling Morkawa when he's down. I do think he had

841
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: an embarrassing year, not just on the course relative to

842
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: his standards, but that moment earlier was just was just bizarre.

843
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Like listen, I didn't love Rory storming off when he

844
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: lost to Bryson, but like he's Roy McElroy, and he's

845
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: one of the most important people when it comes to

846
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: the business element of this sport. Colin Markowa simply is

847
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: not He would not be on my team. I would

848
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: leave him off, and I do think right now, I

849
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: think there's a fifty to fifty shat chance that he

850
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: does not make it, because I think Ben Griffin's going

851
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: to be on the team. And then I think Sam

852
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: Burns whose boys was Scotty Like, this is a unique

853
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: event where like guys like Scotty Scheffler and Ry McElroy

854
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: they got juice. So if Scotty goes, I want to

855
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: play with him. I like playing with him, and Sam

856
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: Burns is just good. I mean, who what are we

857
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: really talking about. I think Colin Morrikawa's spot is in major,

858
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: major jeopardy. And if Keegan does pick himself, which at

859
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: this point in time feels like I don't know, borderline Locke,

860
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: I would say that that Collins done so, and I

861
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 1: think it's the right choice. So to me, you got

862
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, your top six is Harris English, JJ spond Russell, Henley,

863
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schoffley, and then my next six is

864
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas Keegan, Bradley, Cameron Young, Ben Griffin, Sam Burns,

865
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: and Patrick Cantley. And if I had to guess right

866
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: now that that would be the team that I think

867
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: ends up getting in. Let's do a couple quick at

868
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: gola pod at golapod Instagram comments really quick, this is

869
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: from Paul, Please address can't I kept him out of

870
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: my mind since he was a good few He was

871
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: good few years ago. Today was horrible and annoying. He's

872
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: a tough player to watch, he really is. And like

873
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: I said, this is entertainment. I mean, part of the

874
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: reason golf boomed to another economic level is because Tiger

875
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: is one of the most entertaining athletes I've ever watched.

876
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: Even if you didn't like golf, people watch the numbers

877
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: said so right, most of us watch Michael Jordan, Steph Curry,

878
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Payton Manning. Golf's a niche sport. You're not

879
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: guaranteed to get the casual sportsman to watch Tiger broke through.

880
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: That can't lay is everything that golf was pre Tiger.

881
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, douchey country club rich kids can't lay

882
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: is wearing like Goldman sacks hats, he plays slow as molasses.

883
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: He for as enjoyable and as cool as it was

884
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: watchinghim in the Ryder couple a couple of years ago,

885
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: which I liked. When you watch him at a PGA

886
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: Tour event, it can be hard. And do you know

887
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: what we never talked about is Joelakava. Once Tiger's leg

888
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: got fucked up and he essentially kind of retired, I

889
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: guess he else tours Achilles and he's got a million injuries.

890
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: He told Joelakava, Like, bro, you just if you want

891
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: to keep working, you got my blessing. Of all the

892
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: bags he could have joined, he joined back, guys, but

893
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: you went from Tiger Woods to Patrick Cantlay and listen,

894
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Cantlay. Financially, it's a good bag to be on.

895
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna make a lot of money, not necessarily this year.

896
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: But like, and maybe he's cooler in person than he

897
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: feels like as a player, but god, it's a tough

898
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: player to watch. Type guys that Koepka and DJ used

899
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: to just despise go so slow. And here's the thing

900
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: in golf, when you're playing a twosome, especially at the

901
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: highest level, and one and you've heard you heard an announcer

902
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: say this, if one guy's on the right side of

903
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: the fairway and the other guys on the left side

904
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: of the fairway, if you outdrove him by five yards

905
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: ten yards, so he's hitting first, you can start your

906
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: routine while he's hitting. These guys, now, especially guy like

907
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: can't just sit there and wait, sit there and wait,

908
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: sit there and wait, and then they finally go and

909
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: it just takes so long it's hard to watch. It

910
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: really is. Uh big fan of both your pods. Have

911
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: you seen the video of Tiger out driving Rigs from

912
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: his knees? Do you have any thoughts? In the video

913
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: Tiger's the goat and still seems like one of the

914
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: guys out there. Do you think most tour pros could

915
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: drive a low handicap from their knees? I did. I

916
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: would say Riggs depending on how his game is. That's

917
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 1: I don't think Riggs hiss that far. So if Riggs

918
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: is driving at two hundred and fifty yards, do I

919
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 1: think Tiger, Who's I'm sure done it more than most

920
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: because he had back injuries and leg injuries, He's probably

921
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: just had to hit balls from his knees. Do I

922
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: think if you just grab Patrick Cantley or Tommy Fleetwood.

923
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 1: Could they hit a drive from their knees two hundred

924
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: and sixty yards? It might take him some time. I

925
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: think Tiger's kind of unique. You know, he's the king

926
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: of like remember his commercials bouncing the ball. I just

927
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: think he spent so much time most of his life

928
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: with a golf club in his hands. He could probably

929
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: do most things that the best players cannot do. I've

930
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: never played until April of this year, at a bachelor party,

931
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: played two courses in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Let's say

932
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: the golf bug has hit me. Brought a regular starter

933
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: setup of flight clubs from DSG the day before the trip,

934
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: and it's been my greatest purchase of this year. My

935
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: question is would a stiffer shaft help with consistency? Reason

936
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 1: being my friend suggested I need a stiffer shaft because

937
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: my swing is too fast. I'm a former college baseball player,

938
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: so that may play a part. I would say, if

939
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: you're swinging quick or hard or fast and you have

940
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: regular shafts, it's definitely going to impact you. So if

941
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: you do swing your former college athlete with pretty good

942
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: club head speed, that a stiff shaft will do you well. Now,

943
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: just because you hit the ball way right or way left,

944
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: getting a stiffer shaft may not fix that, but once

945
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: you dial in whatever you got going on, it will

946
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: definitely benefit you. So to me, a stiffer shaft and

947
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: I know, like a Taylor made club rep here, but

948
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: if you swing hard, you cannot play with regular shafts.

949
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: It will be impossible to play over under eight and

950
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,439
Speaker 1: a half majors for Scotti Shaeffler. To me, I'd picked

951
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: the number of like, I would say, nine feels about right.

952
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,479
Speaker 1: I mean he's got four, so nine would be five more.

953
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean five alone would be Kepta's career would be

954
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 1: an incredible accomplishment. What do you think Live's golf future

955
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: looks like? I don't watch it, but from my outside perspective,

956
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: it seems to be stuck in neutral, a middle till

957
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: product that struggles with viewers. How are they going to

958
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: get a new audience and grow from there? I heard

959
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: rumors of them signing a few players this offseason, like

960
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: feenw or Jason Day, but I don't see how that

961
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: raises the stakes. I would say if they sign more players,

962
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: because I asked Scott O'Neil. I'm like, when me and

963
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: Colin were interviewing them, I'm like, are signing PGA Tour

964
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: players still an option? He said one hundred percent. So

965
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: if you signed Tony Fenow or Jason Day, I don't

966
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: think it's not for as a TV product, it's not

967
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: working as a live product. Going there it is cool.

968
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm saying that is some that's an unbiased opinion, right,

969
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: Obviously they've paid money for advertisements here. But if I

970
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't have gone to the event, I couldn't speak to it.

971
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: You go to the event, it is cool. I do

972
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: understand why the players on that tour consistently say that,

973
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: but no one is watching on TV. We've seen the numbers,

974
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I don't think adding Tony Final

975
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: or Jason Day does much. But if you take Tony

976
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Fina and Jason Day, like, let's be real, the tour

977
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: championship today, would it have been better for the field

978
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: if John Rahm, if Bryson d Chambeau, if Terrell hadn't,

979
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: if Joaquin Neeman, if you assuming DJ and Brooks who

980
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: did not have great seasons but guys like that were there,

981
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: or potentially there, yes, So how many times can you

982
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: take players away from the PGA Tour? This is why

983
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: when I asked goott O'Neil, the only thing I care

984
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: about is how do we get together? Look, I don't

985
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: care about any of this anymore. I just want to

986
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: see these guys in some sort of unified front and

987
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: they Here's my ultimate take is Yasser, who is the

988
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: right hand man for the Prince in Saudi, loves golf,

989
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: like is a golf at So I'm sure I'd be

990
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: friends with the guy if I ever met him. He

991
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: is addicted to this team concept. And obviously he tried

992
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: to get Jay to do business with him whatever I

993
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: don't know, a couple of years ago and for a while,

994
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: and Jay wouldn't take him seriously. That's why Jay got

995
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: kicked to the curb. Because Jay got fatt and happy,

996
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: and I would say created this whole mess. If he

997
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: would have been willing to play ball, I'll tell you

998
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 1: who would have Brian Rolapp, who comes from the NFL.

999
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: He would have taken the wait, who's this ya, sir?

1000
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: From the piff the thing with like trillions of dollars. Yeah,

1001
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: we should we should probably, uh, talk here about about golf,

1002
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: but that created the mess and we could have avoided

1003
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: this situation that they're in. But I think he's dead

1004
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: set on this team golf, and I think that's a

1005
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: big issue. And one thing, you know, being at that

1006
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: live event with some people that know some things, is

1007
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: there any sort of ability to, like, you let some

1008
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: of our guys start playing again, and you like, we

1009
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: allow you guys to send a couple PGA Tour teams

1010
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: maybe one or two events throughout the season, Like can't

1011
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: we It's called business, Like we got some players that

1012
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: you want so and we got like, like how long

1013
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: can you go at the rate in which you're going?

1014
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: And that's where I don't know the rubbers about to

1015
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: meet the road and if they keep stealing players, even

1016
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: if it's like oh Jason day Tony Fino, don't totally

1017
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: matter how many players can you steal? So I don't know,

1018
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer for you, but it's

1019
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: not going away at least next year. I love your

1020
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,959
Speaker 1: content and opinions on golf in the NFL. Simple question,

1021
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: favorite all time golfer, favorite all time NFL player, Phil

1022
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: Mickelson and Troy Paulamala for me. Thanks. Tiger Wood's easily

1023
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: number one. I would say football player. That's a great question.

1024
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: You know, probably when I was a kid, I mean,

1025
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: I love Steve Young so much. But as I've gotten older,

1026
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: I watched that Barry Sanders documentary. He was pretty freaking off.

1027
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: It's weird. The Packers when Farv got there, started beating

1028
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: the Niners when I was a kid, and it really

1029
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: devastated me. Honestly made me sad. I probably cried in

1030
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: like ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight. I think they

1031
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: beat him like four straight years. Obviously, the Packers went

1032
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: to back to back Super Bowls and he won a

1033
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: couple MVPs. But I loved watching Bread for Play. I

1034
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: would say currently like watching Mahomes, even in that preseason

1035
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: game against the Bears. There's just like, that's what it's

1036
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: supposed to look like. I like guys who are just

1037
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: mastered aircraft, Like I'm listening to this Charlie Munger book,

1038
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: like you know, Bezos, Tiger Tom Mahomes, like I like

1039
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: the guys at the highest level. I hate Ohio State.

1040
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: I do respect what they do. I respect what they do,

1041
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: not the biggest Notre Dame or Duke guy. But like

1042
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: you get to a point, like when you're the best,

1043
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 1: it's hard not to just respect it. Okay, last question,

1044
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: do you think the PGA Tour will ever update their

1045
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: dress code and allow players to wear shorts? Seems to

1046
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: be an outdated rule. I was at Live Dallas when

1047
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,959
Speaker 1: it was one hundred plus outside and her Dustin Johnson say,

1048
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: thank god they let us wear shorts. That's a great question.

1049
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I I'm a big believer in this. I

1050
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: grew up going to a country club where in the

1051
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: Sacramento Davis area it costs like two thousand dollars to join,

1052
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: Yet their rules to walk into the clubhouse to eat dinner,

1053
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: it might have been Augusta. It was so stiff. It's

1054
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: like you are not allowed to wear jeans, where are

1055
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: your dockers? And it was just that was universally agreed

1056
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: upon at country clubs, where whether you were at the

1057
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: nicest ones or the shittiest ones, that has completely changed.

1058
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: Someone commented on a video I put out recently was like,

1059
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: little God, tuck your shirt in. It's like, I'm not

1060
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: at Augusta. I'm playing, I'm relaxing, I'm having a good time.

1061
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tuck my shirt in. This isn't nineteen

1062
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: ninety seven like Olympic Club. That's their rules. I'm in

1063
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: a public golf course, shooting some videos, having a cocktail,

1064
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: just having a good time. Relax, buddy. The nicest country club,

1065
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: at least the most expensive one, I guess Bob Parsons

1066
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: Scottsdale Nationalist, but the second most expensive one in Scottsdale

1067
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: has zero rules. You literally can wear whatever you want.

1068
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: The Discovery Bay Properties, which has one in Pump Springs,

1069
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: which has one in Nashville, which has one at Yellowstone,

1070
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: which Tom Brady and all those guys are remembers at.

1071
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: From where I'm sitting right now is right down the road, McKenna,

1072
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: There are no rules. You can wear whatever you want.

1073
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: You know why, because when I'm playing golf, I'm not working.

1074
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to relax. And this is times have changed.

1075
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. On the PGA Tour, they allowed

1076
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago these guys to wear shorts

1077
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: in their practice rounds. Right Why because it's one hundred

1078
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: and ten degrees humidity in wherever in June, July, August,

1079
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: why not do that during the regular rounds. Now, some

1080
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: guy's legs look better than others. It is a television product,

1081
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: but watching live, some of these guys like it all

1082
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: looks kind of normal. So I'm with you. I think

1083
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: that's that's a move roll app could easily make. And

1084
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: the good thing is is when you get this guy.

1085
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: And I said this about Scott O'Neil, and I will

1086
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: I will reiterate this about role app. The best thing

1087
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: these two organizations did. You could not bring in some

1088
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: stiff country club guy. Why because they live in kind

1089
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: of this myopic sheltered, just a little bubble. It's like

1090
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to relate to anything outside of

1091
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: what they're used to win the golf world. Neither of

1092
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: these guys play golf. Neither of these guys care. You

1093
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: know what the NFL cares about money business. That's all

1094
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: the old rules. They will pivot and change on a dime.

1095
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: So if you told me next year or in two

1096
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: years that rule has changed, I would one percent. If

1097
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: these players go to role app and say we don't

1098
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: want to wear pants anymore, it's a done deal. Now.

1099
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: If you're Nike, if you're some of these brands, Travis Matthew,

1100
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: whoever is paying these guys millions of dollars for their

1101
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: yearly wardrobe deal. I don't know exactly how that works.

1102
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a little more complicated, but why would they

1103
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: care most human beings, whether you're in Dallas, whether you're

1104
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: in Arizona, whether you're in Florida, in the summer, if

1105
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy a pair of you name it, Nike,

1106
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: Travis Matthews, whatever the brand is, I'm gonna wear shorts

1107
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: in the summer. This isn't the mob. It's like when

1108
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano or James Gandolfini. He said, like his first

1109
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: year shooting that the sopranos blew up in the mafia community.

1110
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: And he got a call, he said, like a eleven

1111
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, and he picks up in this kind

1112
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: of raspy, old Italian voice. The guy simply said, the

1113
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: Dawn never puts on shorts. And he realized it was

1114
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: coming from like a mob boss telling him, like, you're

1115
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: the boss, you don't wear shorts, you wear pants all

1116
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: the time. And he said he never wore shorts in

1117
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: the show. Again, but in golf, you can't go to

1118
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 1: a golf course. Well, that's the thing. Some of these,

1119
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: like Augusta, I think the Cow Club in San Francisco,

1120
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: some certain country clubs don't allow you to our shorts.

1121
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: So that is a mindset that might be like Jay

1122
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: Monahan's like no shorts. But I think that will come

1123
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: to an end here fairly soon. The volume
