1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast Mrs West's references to Welcome 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: back Cotton. Welcome to another edition to the Around the 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan hands As. I come 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: to you from a virtual room built with some heroes, 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: Mark Sasler, Greg Rosenthal. I feel like where we are 6 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: now and happy, happy league, New Year and all that 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: it's officially season in the NFL as of Wednesday. It 8 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: feels like now and there's still a lot of free 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: agents out there. We're gonna get to everything that's happened 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours and guys that are 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: still out there and things that could happen while we're recording, 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: just like we did the last two days. But I'm 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: starting to think like this, the Shawn Watson thing, this um, 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: this is going to really soon become the dominant story 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: if it's not already there, Like, it feels like it's 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: gonna happen soon now, and we're gonna get to some 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: sports that are out there too. Do you disagree? Right? 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: You gave me a HM, which I think means I 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: don't know about that. I know, I don't know. I'm 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: so in the dark about this that I have no 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: feel if I had to guess it feels more like 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: the draft. Like the draft, You're right, it will become 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: the dominant story and we're gonna be talking about it. 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: But it just feels like nobody, no one knows. But 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: it makes more sense to me to happen near the draft. 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: I think it. I think it could happen before that, though, too, 27 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: because you're in a public relations disaster and if and 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: if the right offer comes, it's probably gonna they have 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: to start to listen. It sounds like they're not really 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: even listening or picking up the phone. But when you 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: go and I am not connecting the Tyrod Taylor dot 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: to suggest that they believe that they're done with Deshaun Watson. 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: But that's the first like sign and it's just such 34 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: a predictable textans thing to do. And I something about this. 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: I just start thinking, I know the Panthers are all 36 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: over it, that he's gonna wind up in New England 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: and our heads are gonna Why is that so impossible? 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Here's why. Because they filed the tampering charge against the 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: Texans just a year ago that was related to them 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: hiring the general manager that's there. Now that the owner 41 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: of the Patriots. Is was reportedly furious with Easterby for 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: some breadcrumbs that Easterby dropped on the way out. That 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: the Texans have really been as almost as much as 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: any franchise really, obviously the Jets would be in that mix, 45 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: but almost as much as any franchise has sort of 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: been the Patriots little brother um since they've come back, 47 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: because they've just kept coming up against them in key spots, 48 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: and I just I just can't see any reason that 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: they're ever gonna serve Watson to them on a platter 50 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: for any amount of picks, because that's ownership. Ownership, wouldn't 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: the last Hey, Ricky, Hollywood, what if you in one 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: fell swoop got Cam Newton out of your way as 53 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: QB one and imported a future Hall of Fame quarterback 54 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: in his mid twenties to the Patriots in one move. 55 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: That's what I thought, I thought, speaking of the Patriots, 56 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: and he moves in the last twenty four hours for 57 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: everyone to uh over No, but I think more could 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: be coming. They still have a lot of cap space 59 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: left after all this, somehow, and they usually get active. 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: You said, by the way, Greg that you know there's 61 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: certain soldiers out there in the Belichick universe. Let's let's 62 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: hear from one of them, Lewis Riddick, and he's executing 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: it to a tea right now. Now it's all it's 64 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: all on the quarterback. It's all in Cam Newton and 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: whether or not they wind up drafting somebody for the future. 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: But right now, as far as team building is concerned, 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: this is a clinic of how to run free agency. 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: It's an absolute clinic. This is exactly what's on my 69 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: nerves about this. Greg Riddick, who, obviously I guess is 70 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: I know he has history with Belichick and and all that. 71 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: This idea that now and he has a big platform. 72 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick, people listen to him, and he's on ESPN's 73 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: morning show and he's saying, Bill Belichick has fixed the team. Now, 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: whether they do well or fail, it's on Cam Newton 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: because Bill's fine. Bill did what Bill had to do. 76 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,279 Speaker 1: He made every move and he's built this team now brilliantly. 77 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: And if they don't do well in two thousand twenty one, 78 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: it's not Bill Belichick's fault. It's Cam Newton's fault. And 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a kind of unsavory way the sausage can 80 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: be made when you have people in your corner in 81 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: the media, because I just hate that sentiment as if 82 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: just because they spent all this money, he just he 83 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: won free agency again and now you have to put 84 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: it all on Cam, as if now it's Cam's job 85 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: to get them back to the super Bowl. It's not 86 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: just Cam that got on my nerves. Well, Plus, Belichick 87 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: is the one that is putting Cam in there, so 88 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: he is responsible for for Cam Newton's play. His faith 89 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: in Cam Newton is is on Belichick. And you know, 90 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: the minute that preceded that was more of an XS 91 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: and O saying like how these players specifically fit the 92 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: way Belichick wants to attack inside out? He thought he 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: thought Aghilar and Henry and Johnny Smith. I kind of 94 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: it was like the perfect fit for the Patriots offense. 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see. But that that was kind 96 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: to you want to talk about I want to talk 97 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: about Mission accomplished, banner on the aircraft carrier. Al Right, 98 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: here's here's the thing. Watch watch NFL media across almost 99 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: any platform, and the ex players and scouts and gms 100 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: and everyone that's been inside the league, every single one 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: of them has got some big time agendas that are 102 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: very obvious if you know him ahead of time, Like 103 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: it's just a fact, and we do too. We do 104 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: too as fans. I'm not saying we don't, but we did. 105 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: You gotta read into that. I'm with you. Riddick has 106 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: been studying Belichick for twenty plus years. I mean he 107 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: was with him on the Browns. He so, I do. 108 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: We've ascended past study at this point. That's what the 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: word is. But study feels a little bit. But I 110 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: would say this, if you're gonna tell me a team 111 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: that is going to go out and make a big 112 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: deal out of having like a two tight end offense 113 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: and who I would trust with almost anyone they bring 114 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: it on defense to maximize. Yes, it's the Patriots. Unfortunately, 115 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just I think like the mission 116 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: accomplished event in our history was a little more egregious 117 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: than suggesting the Patriots have added talent on both sides 118 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: of the ball. Work out, job, it's done, it's done. 119 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: The Patriots are is supposed to be the Jets time 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: of year, it's like false hope time of year. He 121 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: doesn't like that the Patriots are the team with the 122 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: false hope this time. You know, he doesn't like that 123 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: that the Patriots are peaking in March like the Jets 124 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: did the last few years. And I do, you have 125 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: plenty of history with that, and peaking in March doesn't 126 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: always tend to work out in September. But congratulations to 127 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: the Patriots. You starting the show saying, um, the you know, 128 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: it's the new league year and like now we're selling 129 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: does that mean today is actually the first um time 130 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: we can say football is back. It's like the it's 131 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: the first of fifteen different times from now until September 132 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: football is back there. There may be no more absurd 133 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: thing happening in any sport. I mean, and there are 134 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: some challengers out there. Then this treating the new League 135 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: year like New Year's Eve business, I don't I just 136 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: who we're all having to kind of close our eyes 137 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: and pretend it's of intrigue. It's a vestige of of 138 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: five years ago. This the game has changed out from 139 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: under our feet. Why why why wast we not evolved? 140 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: So why why are we still treating that like it's 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: this Christmas morning business? My son is in the background 142 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: yelling poop poo bananas. Well, that's the true. I mean, 143 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: that's more interesting to me than right, that's a good point. 144 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: I think you're going to discover something more interesting when 145 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: you exit the show, no doubt about it. You know, 146 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: he's talking about the Seahawks off season, am I right? 147 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into where we're at right now. 148 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: It is just after five o'clock on the East Coast. 149 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: Let's start with some quarterback talk. Let's talk about the Seahawks. 150 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: Why not because an interesting report the Bears, as we 151 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: discussed yesterday, UH signed Andy Dalton to a one year 152 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: contract worth ten million, with room to go higher than that. 153 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: It's it's you know, low grade starting quarterback money for 154 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Seems like the direction Chicago's going in now. 155 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: A report this actually from Dan Patrick, who said on 156 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: his radio show, I presume that Chicago, UH, the Chicago 157 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: Bears offered three first round picks, a third round pick, 158 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: and two unnamed starters for Russell Wilson, so they went 159 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: for it. The reports out there. If this is true 160 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: what Patrick is saying, I have no reason to think 161 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: that he's misinformed here. Um the Bears, indeed, we're all 162 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: in on trying to solve their offense and franchise issues 163 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: with one big swing. But you know what killed them 164 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: is they have the overall pick. You wonder if they 165 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: were in the top five, if this is a whole 166 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: different situation, and the Seahawks are actually tempted to pull 167 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: the trigger, but they might not have had an off 168 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: ammunition here. They couldn't deliver the quarterback. I think that, 169 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, if you're the Seahawks. And I like the 170 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: way some people put it, like if this deal went down, 171 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: the Seahawks become the Bears, and the Bears become the Seahawks, 172 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: And and why would the Seahawks want to do that? 173 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder though, And this all happened at 174 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: a North Dakota State pro day and Fargo, North Dakota, 175 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: which which which adds to a little bit of intrigue 176 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: in the whole thing. But I got it right. Mysterious 177 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: a nice place. Um, Okay, we can play that too, 178 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: Like Ryan Pace, you tried, but you didn't deliver the 179 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: quarterback the first Kay, we can play that too, he said. 180 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: You seem, yeah, annoyed by the thing. I like the 181 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't understand what is happening to 182 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: sound drop in there every once in a while without 183 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: getting agitated by it. It's just it's typically when I'm speaking, 184 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: then suddenly a bunch of bells and whistles got to 185 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: get on the furled. I mean, there's no doubt about it. 186 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: But it is a nice anthem. Um. You know, I 187 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: don't at this point, I don't going to say instead 188 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: of judging this is the theme song of the great 189 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: film Fargo. Well a moment many times, Yes, this is 190 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: the theme song from Fargo. I love that there was 191 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: a clandestine meeting Amy Fargo. Um, having really loved that, 192 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: was it? Brother? Did that film? Yes? Excellent? Alright, Mark, 193 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm sorry to upset you with no I think. 194 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: I think what's happened is I stepped over a bit 195 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: that you had prepared before the show. But I meant 196 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: you're starting to have any issues when there's something in 197 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: the background. I apologize. Go ahead. Well I don't I 198 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: don't know where this is going. But like I would 199 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: just say this, you wind up with Andy Dalton because 200 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: you couldn't deliver the quarterback, not when you had a 201 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: chance to draft one, or when it came down to 202 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: this super expensive trade proposal. You're on the outside looking 203 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: in the Chicago Bears and it's not any dalts fault. 204 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: And then we all get it. Everyone's been tweeting about 205 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: it for twenty four hours. But he's in another terrible 206 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: situation where he's gonna be compared to like Mr Rabinsky, 207 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: who they could have had. So I've had enough of it, 208 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: and I feel for Bears fans. The music swelling really 209 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: does that kind of gravity toss to what otherwise be 210 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: like a good Danny Dalton take, but now it's like 211 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: it almost feels like your Oscar clip. It's great, and 212 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: we just send the show right here. Let's just call 213 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: it a day. I need tomorrow. I do see what 214 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: Ryan Pace is doing though here. You know, it's like 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: every reporter has this these details. Where does it come from? Alright? 216 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Like he is giving me um Ryan Pace. That is 217 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: some Danny Ainge in the NBA vibes where it's like 218 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: every time a huge superstar gets traded, like it gets 219 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: leaked a day later, that Danny Ainge really tried hard 220 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: for him. And I'm not doubting that's true, but you 221 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: kind of it's a self serving report that's like, hey, 222 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: Bears fans, we tried, Uh, well, if you really, I 223 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: didn't like when people said they did everything possible they empty, Well, no, 224 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: you could have just offered more. You could have made 225 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: trades leading up to this to get even more first 226 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: round picks, Like if you wanted to sell out, you 227 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: know everything you possibly could do, you could do more 228 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: part of the well three first round picks, didn't we 229 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: learn at some point in this offseason that that's the 230 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: most you can actually, But if you got someone in theory, 231 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: in theory, you could try to acquire another Raid Khalil 232 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: mac for another first or something like that. You're saying, okay, 233 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: sure something like that, or like the Jets have done, 234 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: like the Jets have set the table to be a 235 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: true contender the Bears, you need like a year, You 236 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: need a little bit more time to build up a 237 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: cachet like that. I guess the if the Bears had 238 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: another year leading up to one, and maybe they will 239 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: because Russell Wilson could be traded next year, maybe then 240 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: you could see something happen, or even or even next month. 241 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,359 Speaker 1: Because if ra up sheets are our insider, Ian Rappaport's 242 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: timeline is um accurate and no reason to think it 243 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: wasn't the Seahawks slept on this, so I thought that 244 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: was an interesting part of the story. Schneider and Pace 245 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: meet up the clandestine meeting Fargo, and they sleep on it. 246 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: He goes back and talks to Pete Carroll. I found 247 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: an interesting rap sheet points out specifically that Carol is 248 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: the one that makes the decision here, which is uh 249 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: supporting my Pete Carroll is the most powerful head coach 250 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL argument because he hired Schneider and because 251 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: they don't seem to have any real ownership situation going 252 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: on there and not really sure what's going on there. 253 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: Um that Carol said no, I don't want to do that, 254 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: but I don't know. If they had a meeting, they 255 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: talked about it, they thought about it. It kind of 256 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: indicates they're thinking about it, that this that it's possible. 257 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: But whether it's possible right now or next offseason, I 258 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: don't know. But it doesn't seem nearly as like crazy. 259 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: And if I am Seahawks ownership, it's it's Paul Allen's sister, 260 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: by the way, after Paul Allen died. I don't know, 261 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: I'd be a little concerned. I might want to nip 262 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: this in the button. I might want to get old 263 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll out the door if I have to make 264 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: a choice right now, I don't know, before before they 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: train Russell Wilson. Yeah, if it comes down to that, 266 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: I like what Pete Carroll's doing. Keeping Russell wasn't. Okay, 267 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: that's fine, but seventy part and part of it is 268 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: he's seventy. Does he want to go into a rebuild 269 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: with a hazy quarterback scenario? It sounds like an absolute 270 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: nightmare to Ben Not at age seventy you could turn 271 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: into the Bears and not have a quarterback for thirty years. Also, 272 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is not your average seventy year old. And 273 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: I also think based on what we know about him, uh, 274 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't think he sees anything. As you know, I 275 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: can't pull this off, not at this age. I think 276 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: he he still believes himself to be thirty five, and 277 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: he might actually be uh uh, He's he's not quite 278 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: your average seventy year old. But this will be very 279 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: interesting to continue to track. And another you know, big 280 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: quarterback news, and we mentioned Watson and the idea of 281 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: trading a franchise superstar Um the Athletics. Joseph Person reports 282 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: that the Panthers are quote locked on acquiring the Texans 283 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: star and uh. Person quoted an executive with an NFL 284 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: team who said, uh Watson looks to be planned a 285 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: B and C for the Panthers and the team's owner, 286 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: David Tepper. Three first round picks the likely starting point 287 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: in trade talks. So there's that three again, there's the 288 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: max now, well max years, you could always have more 289 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: first roundspect that's beside the point. Um, here's my thought 290 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: on this and why I think, yes, the draft really 291 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: it feels like it's far away, but it's really not. 292 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: But if the Texans have David Tepper around the hook 293 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: here and this guy wants what he wants, and we've 294 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: heard this over and over the David Tepper, he won't 295 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: let a guy out of the room when he wants 296 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: his man, and he wants to make his big splash, 297 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: and he wants to run an NFL team the way 298 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: he built himself as a businessman into a billionaire, and 299 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: that's being aggressive and getting what he wants. All right, 300 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: this feels like they've got to do business with and 301 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about it in the past, on this show. 302 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: If you've got a trade Deshaun Watson, which you never 303 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: want to do, but if you have to do it 304 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: and you don't have another choice, might as all trade 305 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: him out of the conference and put him out of sight, 306 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: out of mind on some level, and don't let this 307 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: opportunity slip away. It just feels like the Panthers and 308 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: and where they're at as an organization and their need 309 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: and who their owner is. Uh, this is the partnership 310 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: to get max value in a deal. Don't get too 311 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: cute with this and blow the best potential suitor you have. 312 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: You have the number eight pick, that would be a 313 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: doorway to get a quarterback obviously, um, which is the 314 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: huge key component here. I do think David Tepper is 315 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: going to be looked at four or five years now. 316 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: Is one of the most powerful owners in the NFL, 317 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: if not in sports. Um, he's a modern day owner 318 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: and the marriage between him and Matt Rule is super solid. 319 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: And can you imagine that offense last year was frisky 320 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: with Teddy Bridgewater. I mean, they've got parts. Can you 321 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: imagine Deshaun Watson with Christian McCaffrey and Robby Anderson and 322 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: maybe you even think about retaining Curtis Samuel, resigning him 323 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: as an attractive um add on for Deshaun Watson. They 324 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: will have now that it's the new year league about 325 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: thirty two million in cap space, So they have been 326 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: making moves and setting the table again, like to your point, Greg, 327 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: getting in the right position to make this gigantic trade 328 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: and I think would be an awesome landing spot for 329 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Well, and they're high enough in the draft 330 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: that they could potentially move higher, so that that's the 331 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: key to me. I think if you're the Seahawks, you 332 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: can't ever trade Russell Wilson without getting a franchise quarter 333 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: back back. That's insane. And it's the same with the Texans, 334 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: So you know, the Dolphins and the Jets, to me, 335 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: I've always made the most sense because they have the 336 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: second and third pick and we heard that Watson would 337 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: like to go there. Although now that's you know, there's 338 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: a million of these reports out there. There's one from Lombardi, 339 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: who is a former Patriots employee, So again, think about it. 340 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: Think about agendas that says he doesn't want to go 341 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: to those teams that he likes, the forty Niners, or 342 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: the Broncos, which also our teams. I think that could 343 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,239 Speaker 1: be laying in the weeds here because they don't need 344 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback now in free agency, but they could pounce 345 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: around the draft. But what what UM Carolina in Denver 346 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: to some degree has is a pretty high draft pick 347 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: where it's okay, maybe if you can get even higher 348 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: and then you throw in the first without giving up 349 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: your first round picks, you know, then then maybe you're cooking. 350 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: But wouldn't you get you probably would get the best 351 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: price near the draft, kind of like the Goff trade 352 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: or the Wentz trade or or the Eli Manning trade, 353 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: all these other trades. I could see Jimmy g as 354 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: someone that, you know, please Nikissario and Mr easterby um 355 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: claiming friendship with or whatever. It would be insane. This 356 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: is this fits well with what the Texans want to be. 357 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy g as our starter with you know, Tyrod Taylor 358 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: as our backup, and you'll probably see both of them. 359 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if Easter be you know, he's a 360 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: god fearing man. If remember when Garoppolo went on that 361 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: blind date with the adult film star. Sure, but one 362 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: of the tenants would be forgiveness. I would think you'd 363 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: have to forgive that he's a young man. You could 364 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: see why that might happen. That's still I have to say, 365 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: in all the years that we've done this podcast, one 366 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: of the strangest stories that Jimmy G who's by all 367 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: accounts a mild mannered man and a really nice guy 368 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: and everybody seems to like him. Uh. And I'm not 369 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: throwing any shame on the adult film industry, but to 370 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: think that you could just go out on the town 371 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: with a well known porn star that is that was 372 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: quite a roll of the dice. Now, the payoff, I 373 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: imagine was huge. Let's let's be honest here, Uh, you know, 374 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: entering in that type of relationship. However long it lasted. 375 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: But when we look back, Greg, that's stunning, isn't it. 376 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: I Mean, I think it lasted until the next day 377 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: when she coast that stuff on Instagram about it. But 378 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: it's a really funny story to look back on. It 379 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: made me like Jimmy G. Moore because of how he 380 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: handled it. He didn't try, he didn't give you the 381 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback um vanilla answer. He just started like chugged 382 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: his shoulders it was like, come on, guys, like, you 383 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: know what happened? Why are you asking about this? Like 384 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: he owned it, and with a smile he owned it. 385 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: Was if a franchise quarterback can't do it, who can, 386 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: I guess in terms of your you know, power brokering 387 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 1: your way into that kind of a date. But he's like, 388 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: what you gotta get on me for this? Guys, look 389 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: at me. He's like, swing remember West and I um 390 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: rode a plane with Jimmy g from Indianapolis to Los 391 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: Angeles and actually spoke to him a number of times 392 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: when no one knew, you know, who he was and 393 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: where he'd go and what he'd become. Um. You know 394 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: a lot of other things happened on that plane flight too, 395 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: but that was one of the highlights. I think I 396 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: know the one you're referring to. Uh and other Deshaun 397 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: Watson news. Uh. This is just something to keep an 398 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: eye on here. UM, there are allegations of a so 399 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: true assault involving Watson. Here a law student. UM includes 400 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: allegations from a female masseus that Watson quote went too 401 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: far during a massage, and Watson came out in social 402 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: media and vigorously denied everything uh involved in terms of 403 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: the charges and called it a shakedown. So that is 404 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: kind of now uh something just percolating as part of 405 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: the story around Watson. We'll see how that ball plays out. 406 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: In other free agency news, let's get the free agency 407 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: things have calmed down a little bit, but still a 408 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. Will start with Trent Williams, 409 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: the left tackle signs a monster extension with the San 410 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers, six years, a hundred and thirty 411 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: eight million, fifty five of it guaranteed thirty million and 412 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: assigning bonus. The thirty two year old is locked and 413 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: loaded as the blindside protector of perhaps Jimmy Garoppolo or 414 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: whomever else in the future. So after I think he 415 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: was number one on your free agency top one on one, 416 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: he is off the board in a big way. I 417 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: like the I wouldn't call it pettiness, but just um 418 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: like a book keeping detail that they added ten thousand 419 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: dollars to the end of this hundred and thirty eight 420 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: million dollar contracts, so he could be the highest paid 421 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: left tackle in history. Like who's doing that? The agent 422 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: or the player, I don't even know, but he just 423 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: he wanted to be the guy and he proved. Uh. 424 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: You know a nice predict prediction I put in there 425 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: that I thought I thought he would in this free 426 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: agency where I do feel team players are getting a 427 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: little less than they would normally, Trent Williams got paid 428 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: full price and he's kind of the photo negative of 429 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: Levian Bells uh sitting out a year, so we said, well, 430 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: that didn't work out for Levan, but worked out well 431 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: for Trent Williams. His was for a different reason. It 432 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: was mostly his displeasure with the Washington franchise and a 433 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: little bit of injury situation. But he sat out a year. 434 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: Bet out of hmself said you can't tag me. I'll 435 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: play for you one year, a little below market, and 436 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: now he's he's awesome and he's rich. It's interesting that 437 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, who obviously need tackle help, uh, pushed really 438 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: hard to sign him and that and then he turned 439 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: down the chance to go and play with Patrick Mahomes 440 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: and probably walk right into a Super Bowl. Um. I 441 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: guess it shows true belief in the Niners too. It 442 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: can't just be about money. I mean, although that's what 443 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: everyone tells me, it's all about Well, he was drafted 444 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: by Kyle Shanahan and Matt and my Mike Shanahan back 445 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: in Washington, so he had he has a nice history 446 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: there and clearly likes playing for him. I mean, if 447 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: you're an organization that's being run the right way and 448 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: you have a guy in the building, you have a 449 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: chance to make him comfortable and make him like where 450 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: he is. And I think that's certainly helped the Niners 451 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: in this case. Um as well, you mentioned Levy on Bell. 452 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: Is he even going to get a job? Is his 453 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: career over? I mean, what a stunning downfall. Uh. If 454 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: that's the case. He was on a Hall of Fame 455 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: trajectory before he got into his squabbles with Pitts, I 456 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: think it could be over unless he's going to take 457 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: like a minimum deal and compete for a spot in camp. 458 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of where no major injury, sat out 459 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: the year over contract issues, came back with the Jets, 460 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: got a nice deal. M wasn't nearly the same player. 461 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: They thought maybe getting him out of the Adam Gates 462 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: offense send him to the Chiefs would spark him. Did not. 463 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: And it's just it's one of those really, it's a 464 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: head scratcher because I think he's whate now and it's 465 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: it's almost like the the the elite football and his 466 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: body just disappeared. He also disappeared from the Steelers and 467 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: that attack. But interesting story. There no questioning his desire 468 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: um to probably I would someone who i'd call a lifer. 469 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: I expect him to come back and play another eight 470 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: or nine years, if not eight or nine months. Moving on, 471 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are making moves, will start at wide receiver. 472 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: They signed A J. Green to a one year, eight 473 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: million dollar contract. He's gonna be thirty three year is 474 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: old this summer. Uh didn't look I mean, he looked 475 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: like this is this is kind of like Levian Bell. 476 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: He's a few years older. So you think father time's 477 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: playing a role here, But it almost seemed like he 478 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: went from an elite player to a below average player overnight. 479 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: Last last season was not good statistically for him, even 480 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: with and to send it young quarterback and Joe Burrow. 481 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: Good Cardinals. Now we're going to take a chance, and 482 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: it makes you wonder if Larry Fitzgerald is gonna hang 483 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: up the cleets here. It's been very quiet on that 484 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: front about whether he's coming back. Or not. Not a 485 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: J Green now is in the equation. I was very 486 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: surprised he got six million guaranteed. Very there's not a 487 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of money over there, making some aggressively. He didn't 488 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: he didn't look good last year. You know, I really 489 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: thought you looked at him and I think that was 490 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: a nice receiver group, uh in general, three good young receivers. 491 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: You see him next to you know, te Higgins and 492 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: even Odd and Tate was like therefore and they like 493 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: you could just see them both on the field the 494 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: same time, and they all just they looked like young 495 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: and explosive, and a J. Green that did not, So 496 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: he became like a point of the catch guy. It's 497 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: like he and everyone I saw NFL number going crazy 498 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: about this and it's like talking about how strong his 499 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: hands are and all the stuff. That's fine, I mean, 500 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: but he's not the same player. And it's to me, 501 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: the money is weird and it's the classic um free 502 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: agent signing where everyone's going gaga over it. But he 503 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: hasn't been a J Green in two plus seasons. And if, 504 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: as West would say, value the game, not the name, 505 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald is going to retire. According to Mike Florio or 506 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: have to sign elsewhere. He put something out there. He 507 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: didn't say sources, but he made it clear he wasn't 508 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: based in it on nothing that the Cardinals were kind 509 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: of done with him. He put it out there in 510 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: a nice way, which makes sense. He averaged seven yards 511 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: per catch last three He played a lot and did 512 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: not produce Larry Fitzgerald and he's starting thirty nine, so 513 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: I think it's probably the end of the road for him. 514 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: First round pick, way back, and I believe two thousand 515 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: four an amazing Hall of Fame career for Lara fitztreald. 516 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: If this is the end, we'll keep an eye on that. 517 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: And another Cardinals news Rodney Hudson. You know, we're just 518 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: talking about him, and the news that came out yesterday 519 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: indicated that the Raiders had released their veteran center, which 520 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: was surprising and head scratching. Well, didn't turn out to 521 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: be a release. It turns into a trade, so he's 522 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: out the door. But it's the next closest thing. Uh Uh. 523 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: They trade Hudson to the Cardinals. Uh in exchange for 524 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: a third round pick, and they swapped seventh rounders. Excuse me, 525 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals acquire Hudson and a seventh round pick from the 526 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: Raiders in exchange for a third round pick. So that 527 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: is a nice pickup for Arizona. Um Hudson, as we 528 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, he has really had a nice career. 529 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: I like thinking about the sausage. See how this sausage 530 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: gets made on one like this. I'm a little I'm 531 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: curious how this all went down. Do you think the 532 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: media played a role in the Raiders changing there? I 533 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: don't know, Like did the Raiders not realize he could 534 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: acquire a third round pick? Was ian Um just putting 535 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: it out there and they knew that then? Like because 536 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: the g m app is not around Dan, maybe they're 537 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: maybe they're kind of using ian as a way to 538 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: put it out there. Or was it just like some 539 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: imprecise language going on, like we were going to put 540 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: him on the top one on one and he never 541 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: even was a free agent. It was, you know, a 542 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: little strange. The whole thing is strange, and that this 543 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: is how the g m app works. It's very simple, 544 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: and I just needed HTML guy um to help build 545 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: it with me. If you're out there, please hit me up. 546 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: My d ms are open. No, they're not all you 547 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: have to do is in the subject line center Rodney Hudson, 548 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: you click into it. Okay, then you have his contract details, 549 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: how many guaranteed years he's left, what what's owed? All 550 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: that type of uh nitty gritty information, and then what 551 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking for and put mid round, mid round, pick 552 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: hit me up in my d M S and then 553 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: you'll have that out there to thirty one other teams. 554 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: And it just takes one button, one nibble to have it. 555 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: And if you get to then you can start leveraging 556 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: them against each other, maybe open a three way chat 557 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: and you get the three of them together and we 558 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: just really figure it out. But that's how it works. 559 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: It would absolutely be effective. It sounds like an incredible platform. 560 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: And it's like when you come up with ideas like this, 561 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: usually like other people around the globe are coming up 562 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: with similar ideas and I'm surprised, Um, well, it says 563 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: a lot down that you're the only one who's come 564 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: up with this. It's not been done. Uh And I 565 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: would ask you that could it could like someone sneaky 566 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: like a Jackie Easterby get into the forum or is 567 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: it is it simply the person with the GM title, 568 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: like can you can you? You know there are other 569 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: like pesky people in every organization. You know, there has 570 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: to be a gatekeeper. That's what i'd hire Greg. I'd 571 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: give Greg about what can I pay Greg that he 572 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: would say yes to do it. I would pay Greg dollars. 573 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: You gotta get to five figures and then you could 574 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: have involved me at I would have done it for time. 575 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: Uh So if I give Greg fift k and he 576 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: becomes the gate keeper. Uh and people actually have to submit, 577 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: like I just went through this with the whole home process. Um. 578 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: The final part of submitting an offer is writing a 579 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: letter to the buyers explaining why you want the house. 580 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: And it's a way to kind of add a little 581 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: personal touch. If you're in competition, they have to submit 582 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: a letter of intent to Greg and then Hill decide 583 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: weather to let people. Yeah, fifteen grand feels low in 584 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: a in a trade where there's like maybe transactions a year. 585 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: I mean Greg is going to be the time for 586 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: Greg's based job anymore. Well, the yeah, the between me 587 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: and the HDML guy, I mean he's going to have 588 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: to figure out how to get the three way chat going. 589 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's one thing when it was I think 590 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: that's a little deeper than HDML. But yes, no, it's 591 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: that's the whole thing I want. That's got to be expensive. 592 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: It's got to be expensive. Well, I think, I think 593 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: to your point, I think your wife work in that 594 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: realm mark. Sure, but I'm gonna need more than fifteen 595 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. You know the responsibility. I've been an undercutter. 596 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: I'll do it for ten. I need that. We'll do 597 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: it for nine. There must have been another team in 598 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: that app by the way, for it to go all 599 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: the way up the third. That was the whole thing. 600 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: They gotta cut him. And it's like they must have 601 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: had other teams bidden to get it the third. Alright, uh, 602 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: where are we? Where are we? Where are we? Moving on? Oh? 603 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: Jacob Bursett has a job. He joined the Miami Dolphins 604 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: um as their new backup quarterback behind to a Tongua vloa. 605 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: And that's a that's a nice landing spot for Jake Brisket. 606 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: And it does you know, it jumps out to me 607 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: when I saw this news, and and I had written 608 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: about this on the website and maybe a month ago, 609 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: that one of the reasons why I didn't feel like 610 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick made sense is the future of the Dolphins 611 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: was like he was too good at the job, and 612 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: he was too he was too popular with the fan base. 613 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: And to Ah is just a kid and he's try 614 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: to figure this thing out. And you have this guy 615 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: that is essentially the most popular player in the league 616 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: on some level in terms of everyone loves Ryan Fitzpatrick, right, 617 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: like not in in terms he's not like as big 618 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: as like the true superstars, but you know what I mean, 619 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: He's just such a fan favorite. It became almost a 620 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: distraction in this goal of building out to as your 621 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. You get Jake Brisket in there, and you're, okay, 622 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the fans clamoring for 623 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Jake Brisket. So we've seen a lot of Jake Briskett, 624 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: and Jake Brisket is Jake Brisket? Yeah what and so 625 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: what did the cults always say about Jake Brisket Like 626 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: great teammate, um, you know, willing to do anything, stepped 627 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: in a tough situation. Ryan Fitzpatrick is just simply too 628 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: charismatic um and it gets too freaky and too good 629 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: at times. That you that's a load for your coaching 630 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: staff to handle as your backup quarterbacks. So I totally 631 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: agree with you. I think to me though it you know, 632 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: anything could happen, but it shuts down for me the 633 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: idea that the Dolphins would package to away for Deshaun Watson. 634 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: I just don't. That team to me feels like a 635 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: no go on that what does that have to do 636 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: with Jake Briskett though, I just think that they to 637 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: your to the point of getting a backup that is 638 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: clearly below to us like intrigue level that they're just 639 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: going forward to. Also, everything they just said about to 640 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: I just think that there that's the quarterback room, and 641 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you're adding to Shawn Watson to that 642 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: is happening. Who knows, but would you would you do 643 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: you think they're a candidate? I don't. It was that 644 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: the Jake Brisket sign. It, by the way, enough for 645 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: this slander on Jake Brisket, nice quarterback last time he 646 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: was truly a second. Tell me, tell me where I'm wrong, 647 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: Jake Brisket, slice me off a piece of that Jake Brisket. 648 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: I would have been happy to see him. And you know, 649 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: do you know exactly what I'm saying? Though? When I 650 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: say Jake Brisket is Jake Brisket, do you understand what 651 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not saying he's a bad guy or 652 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: a bad player, No, I know that, But the the 653 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: the Brisket Homer's out there would point to that first 654 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: half of his season with Indianapolis before he heard his shoulder, 655 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: and things were looking pretty good and then he he 656 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: stinks with the bomb shoulder and then he gets replaces. 657 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: But you're not intrigued to yank to uh or doesn't 658 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: I agree with your point. I agree with your point. 659 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: I do think if they had any chance to get 660 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson, they would sell to a down the river. 661 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: That's what I think. I think you're right about that. Um. 662 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: In other news, the Bills parted ways with John Brown 663 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: last week. They replace him with Emmanuel Sanders. This guy's 664 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: starting to pile up some freaking frequent uh freaking frequent 665 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: flyer miles. Uh here Manny Sanders. Um, it is a 666 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: one year, six billion dollar contract. Nice value. Sanders a 667 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: little up there now, a little long in the tooth 668 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: at thirty four years old, but he has always been 669 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: a nice consistent number two, number three type guy, and um, 670 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: maybe he gives them somebody is a little bit more 671 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: durable and can you know, make some plays with Josh 672 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: Ellen good spot for him, like if you're if you're 673 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: into him as a fantasy guy or whatever. Because you 674 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: didn't do great in New Orleans, you are mentioning frequent 675 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: flyer meyer miles gets me thinking, like I've been racking 676 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: up these frequent flyer miles on my credit card this 677 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: last year. Like what it just feels worthless. I guess 678 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: someday in theory, I'll I'll use them, but it's just 679 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: like a currency that doesn't matter anymore. You will get 680 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: on an airpange and again at some point I would 681 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: imagine that here's that wide receiver room. As Greg ponders 682 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 1: air flight in the future, Emmanuel Sanders joined Stefon Diggs. 683 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: He's the true number one Colt Beasley who had that 684 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: big breakout season last year. Uh and you had you 685 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: have second year man Gabriel Davis as well. Uh So 686 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: Sanders slides in there. He should Yeah, he should play 687 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: plenty there. It's a nice group. Uh. Speaking of John Brown, 688 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: he lands on his feet with the Las Vegas Raiders, 689 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: and he replaces Nelson Agre who went to the pay atriots. 690 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: Um and Greg helped me out with this. I don't 691 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: remember exactly, Um, what are signed for, so maybe it's 692 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: just but they never they never said what the guarantees. 693 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 1: It might be a one year deal, but they never. 694 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: They haven't said that one yet. And and John, Yeah, 695 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't see what the figures are for John Brown here, um, 696 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: but it's one of your classic up to five point 697 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: five millions from what I just thought, you know was 698 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: a guy they probably should have tried harder to keep around, 699 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: considering he had such a good rapport with Derek Carr 700 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: and and and had really busted out last year. John Brown, 701 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: we talked about him last week, A long time West favorite, 702 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: a guy who can make plenty of plays, but maybe 703 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: a bit of a durability concern there. I thought Algalar 704 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: was a good fit in Las Vegas, good value though. 705 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: I agree with you, but I like this movie just 706 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: because I like John Brown. And and I'd rather have 707 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: John Brown and Marvin Jones who got a lot more money, 708 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: or a J. Green who got a lot more money. 709 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 1: I think he he'll matter like we do the winners, 710 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,720 Speaker 1: and I do the winners and losers on the website, 711 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: and it's like, yesterday, Derek Carr is a loser because 712 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: they lost Rodney Hudson and they're losing, agil losing. And 713 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: then it's like today, well, actually, Incognitos coming back and 714 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: you've got John Brown, which I'm fine with, the John 715 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: Brown Fragilar trade. That seems close enough. It's like, okay 716 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: that maybe today Derek Carr is a winner. This is 717 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: John Brown deal is the kind of deal that I 718 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: think the Patriots would have made. They weren't like cracking 719 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: open piggy banks this this offseason, I agree. Which nobody 720 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: has those anymore. And that's a stupid reference. My kid does. Okay, 721 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: you might be surprised to learn Mark that, Bob, my 722 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: kids have a Godzilla piggy bank. No, I mean, well, 723 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: that's not a piggy bank by nature. It's not that 724 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: it needs to be shaped like a okay, but I'm 725 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: just saying that if adults used to have them for 726 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: some reason, they don't anymore. I guess it has to 727 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: be the shaped as a pig that qualifies the piggy bank. 728 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,919 Speaker 1: I always thought that was more just like any type 729 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: of little kids like bank holder things just called a 730 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: piggy bank. Is that how deep your vegetarianism goes? You 731 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: would not even support a piggy bank inside your house, Mark, No, 732 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: I would. I mean, my children have little cups with 733 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: a hole in the top to put coins in. But 734 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't call I don't walk around calling that a 735 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: piggy bank. All right, you know, Mark, I this has 736 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the banks. Yes, Greg, I ate 737 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: something I ordered something to pick up the other week 738 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: called that was yak chili. And whenever I eat some 739 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: a little left of center, like eating some yak, I 740 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: think of you because you always make fun of that. 741 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: I eat like that that like us mediators eat terrible things. 742 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: And you know that this yak was damn delicious. Well, 743 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: I think of you when I think about things like that. 744 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: But I actually it reminds me. I had a dream 745 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: last night that I ate um, like multiple strips of 746 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: like crispy bacon. How was it? Is it a nightmare? 747 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: You liked it? No? I think it was because I 748 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: used to It was fine, but I don't remember how 749 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 1: it tasted in the dream. It wasn't that that sensory 750 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: part of it didn't click in remember that realizing I 751 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: did it. There was a night years ago Mark, you 752 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: and I were out, Um, I'm guessing we were at 753 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: the cozy near the office, and then we were gonna 754 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: grab some food before going back to our respective homes 755 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: and and and you know, letting our wives know we 756 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: were still alive. And uh so I got a like 757 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: a meat burrito of some kind, and then you got 758 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: like a vegetarian one. And then do you remember this? 759 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: Do you remember this? Yeah? I was like, yeah, like 760 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: the meat somehow that was depositive. Some of them ended 761 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: up in Mark's burrito and Mark Mark took a bite, 762 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: and then flash forward like twenty seconds later, Mark is 763 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: in a bush yakking it out, speaking to Yeah. They 764 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: snug some sort of like like weird piece of pork 765 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: or something in there, and it was yeah, it was 766 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: not good, a weird piece of pork, all right. Moving on, 767 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: the Washington football team signed quarterback William Jackson, formerly of 768 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: the Bengals, three years, forty two million. Good to be 769 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: a cornerback. Uh he gets twenty six million guaranteed. The 770 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: former first round pick in two thousand and sixteen, Bengals 771 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: choose to let him head out the door and Washington 772 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: Shore it's up their secondary. So you can kind of 773 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: you can tell how what positions are hard to find 774 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: because there are there are no good cornerbacks left on 775 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: the market. There weren't that many. There weren't any to 776 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: begin with. Practically, Shack Griffin went to Jacksonville, William Jackson 777 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: there and there's no there's not really any offensive lineman left, 778 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: like the top twenty five is pretty decimated. Other than 779 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: the receivers. Well, you do have a bunch of big 780 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: name receivers still out there that we're waiting on. I 781 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: was gonna, I was gonna hit um who's left in 782 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: a second. Let's do eight o'clock to light sure? Is 783 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 1: this drop okay with you? More? Yeah? This is pleasant. 784 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: The Colts bring back Marlon Mack. Of course he blew 785 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: as Achilles last September, but he's coming back to India. 786 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: I love Marlon Mack. Nice backfield there, Taylor Phines mac 787 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is the number one overall pick or he's 788 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: about to be for the Jacksonville's Jaguars. And now there's 789 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: a report out there that they're taking calls on Gardner. 790 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: Means you what kind of market should meets you? How 791 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: about meets you? To Denver Sizzler. I love Gardner Minshew, 792 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: but I don't know if you. I don't understand why 793 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: people would be calling as a starter. That surprises me. 794 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: The line straight for Michael Brocker's and son Jamal Williams 795 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: little salary dump. The RAM said it was confusing how 796 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: they got under the salary cap. This was this was 797 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: kind of part of it. This was a just total 798 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: salary dumb They basically gave up nothing to get him 799 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: good good player. Right. But this is incredibly juicy because 800 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: Brocker's um went on record after the Rams acquired Stafford 801 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: and called him a level up from golf, and he's 802 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: been shifted in Detroit where he's back with level down. 803 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: God good, good, hang off outers the Browns. They take 804 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: a shot on Tack McKinley, who was a disaster for 805 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: the Falcons. How you feel about this one, Mark, I 806 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: mean I kind of see like who knows, like they 807 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: didn't pay him much. He seems like a replacement for 808 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: Adrian Clade worn, not like their guy across from miles 809 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: Here they play like up four to five as a 810 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: base so maybe seed be time to keep finding edge dudes. 811 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: Al Right, the Chiefs say goodbye to Super Bowl hero 812 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: Damian Williams, who opted out least year. You know, this 813 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: gets me thinking, like because the c J. Mosley trade 814 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: rumors around the Jets, everybody was so it was so 815 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: big and everyone to say and report it as is 816 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: his right. He is opting out of the season because 817 00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen. And I'm not making light of COVID 818 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: night teen or what anyone's personal situations were. But yes, 819 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: perhaps this is right, but it is maybe not in 820 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: your best football interests to disappear for a year, and 821 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: that might be the case for Damian world opt out revenge. 822 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: The last time we talked Damian Williams, I remember is 823 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,879 Speaker 1: that the Super Bowl, A hearty debate with with our 824 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: friend west Um where he thought Damian Williams maybe deserve 825 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: that m v p M. I kind of enjoyed that 826 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: because I got sandwiches on that one. West was all 827 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: fired up. I remember that. Also, Oh my old friend 828 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller fourteen time making the leap uh nominee on 829 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: the older round the NFL blog days. Uh. He is 830 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: back in the league. According to Greg's notes, Washington. I 831 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 1: don't know. I saw Lamar Miller. I was like, Wow, 832 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: first day signing Lamar Miller, let's get danz Old buddy 833 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: into the show. No, that's good. I just just throw 834 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: throw a W A S in there next time. Not 835 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: really headline news on any website. People have no idea 836 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: what happening. But Greg very nicely, you know, we'll take turning. 837 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 1: But Greg has been great this week about sending out 838 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: here's like the eighteen or nineteen headspinning things that happened. 839 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: But sometimes Gregg's sentences are very complete and you know 840 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: exactly what happens. But there are times when it's hard 841 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: to decipher, and I think Dan you ran into some 842 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: of that. Typically I have more in the way of 843 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: preparation time. This week obviously has been very busy for me. 844 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: Um so I was kind of flying blind there off 845 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: Greg's notes and it got it got me there. I 846 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: didn't know where Lamar Miller ended up. I didn't have 847 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 1: a chance to look that up, but but I did 848 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: give you the information you really needed, which was marks 849 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: Greg's notes or Dan's buddy Lamar Miller back in the league. Yeah, 850 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: that was that was what was key. I mean I 851 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna make a big here. Uh. Speaking 852 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: of big splash, there are big splashes uh still to come. Um, 853 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up your old boll Well it's not 854 00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,720 Speaker 1: it's from your old boss's website, Mike Florio. Uh. Sharene 855 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: Williams wrote the top twenty five remaining free agents, Greg, 856 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: is that on your radar a little bit? You right? 857 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: The top one oh one?

There was a 882 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: couple of others that seemed curious. Um, but I also 883 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 1: have Clowney right now is the second highest, which maybe 884 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't like Curtis Samuel. I did I hear 885 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel in there? Uh, he's on the list. I 886 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: didn't mention that's a spicy one. Um. There it is best. 887 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 1: All right, here's Greg's best radiance available, since he's clearly 888 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 1: angling to get this listed. No, I mean you basically 889 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 1: just set him off, throwing at Dorry Jackson, Malcolm Butler, like, 890 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 1: there's some other names, and you said, you said my 891 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: top one, so you have, but you have. We were 892 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,760 Speaker 1: talking about this yesterday. Clowney is your your second best 893 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 1: available option left now I just can't get on board 894 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: with that. At what point does this guy not get 895 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt you have Golladay, Clowney, will Fuller, 896 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,760 Speaker 1: Samuel Juju, Mitchell Schwartz, justin Houston. Interesting there, Hassan Reddick, 897 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, Carlos Dune up at Dorry Jackson, David Andrews, 898 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Harris, and then well, who would you put above 899 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: Clowney or how many? I wouldn't put too many of those? 900 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: Maybe some of those. Here's the thing. I like him. 901 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: Maybe I overrate him this year because I was sort 902 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: of anticipating, like I like the idea of buying low 903 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: on him, and whatever he's played, he's still productive. Not 904 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: last year, but that's he's still twenty eight. Uh, you're 905 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 1: gonna get I'm gonna get him, get him at a discount. Man, 906 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,879 Speaker 1: Doin's got to do something here. The Dolphins will sign 907 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: one of these receivers. But That's been one of my 908 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 1: surprises early is in terms of quiet teams that the 909 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: Dolphins haven't really done much. But I wouldn't surprise me 910 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 1: if they signed David Andrews the Patriots Center. They've been 911 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: rumored too, and I think they will sign one of 912 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: these receivers, whether it's Gola Day or maybe Fuller. Buller 913 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: was really good last year, and I know he had 914 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: a ton of injury issues before last year, and of 915 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: course the season ended on a p D suspension that 916 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: actually carries over one game into Those are all obviously 917 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 1: red flags, but he's a good bye logo on sign 918 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: him on a short term deal. He'd fit in Miami, 919 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: He's fit almost anywhere, but put him in New England. 920 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 1: They they should sign one more receiver. I think. Um, 921 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: all right, that's it for today's show. We have one 922 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 1: more show this week on the podcast side of things, 923 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 1: and then we have the television show Around the NFL 924 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: broadcast on NFL Network on Friday afternoons, and make sure 925 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: to set your DVRs for that in those overseas. I 926 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,479 Speaker 1: believe you can access it via the game Pass app. 927 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: I believe. I don't know. I hope so I seem 928 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,240 Speaker 1: we We do get a lot of tweets from people 929 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 1: overseas with a with a nice frosty beverage watching our program, 930 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: so I guess there is access to it on some level. 931 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,280 Speaker 1: There must be all right, good And speaking of overseas listeners, 932 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 1: happy St Patrick's day, irish out there. And speaking of 933 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: other you know another overseas listener that has some power 934 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 1: out there? How about our old bosses at Sky Sports. 935 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: I know they have a Sky Sports NFL channel, So 936 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 1: if you are listening, you know, Mace, whoever it is, Uh, 937 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: let's get the around the NFL broadcast on that channel. 938 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,800 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? That's way over our heads. 939 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 1: But it's award winning content that they can just take 940 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 1: and PLoP right on their on their own at work 941 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: and delight many. So what are what are we doing here? 942 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,439 Speaker 1: I mean what awards did you win? Oh, the two 943 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 1: thousand and thirteen Best New Podcast Award exactly Apple. And 944 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: also we did win a Stitcher that a former producer 945 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: had shipped directly to apartment, So that happened, Erica that 946 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: by the way, And Kate, I don't know if you're 947 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: picking up what Greg's putting down there, but that would 948 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: be something that would probably fall under the producers tasks. Oh, 949 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 1: the guys just had a good idea. Wait, this guy 950 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:39,800 Speaker 1: sports thing. It would be unfortunately, I think that's good. 951 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: Ricky is the producer. Can you connects with the producer 952 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: over there? Mace, Hey, the guys had kind of a 953 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: fun idea. I don't know if you caught it on 954 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: the show. I bet the listeners overseas would love to 955 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: see the guys. Is that something that could happen? And 956 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,280 Speaker 1: that's just that's how a producer gets starts the ball rolling. 957 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,720 Speaker 1: But this feels like it's these are some shadowy league 958 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 1: figures at the highest levels, the type that who are 959 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,879 Speaker 1: making these decisions that we're that we don't even are 960 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: in contact with. I mean, we we largely circumvented then 961 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,799 Speaker 1: to even beyond sky. So why don't we just go 962 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 1: a step further and give them our television show without 963 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 1: a learning them. That will go over fine. I would say, 964 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 1: if you send it sent a pirated version of our 965 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: program uh to United Kingdom and other territories, it will 966 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,240 Speaker 1: be a good test about on a lot of levels, 967 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: like where we stand with the company. I mean, I 968 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: don't have too many questions about where we stand. But alright, good, alright, 969 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: good stuff. Keep tuning in, we'll keep turning out the content. 970 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,280 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening.
