1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast would happily trade the Boss

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: for Lindsay roose Welcome to another edition of the Around

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. I'm Greg Rosenthal, joined by a couple

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: of heroes, Mark Sessler and Chris Westling. Hey, Greg, so

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: Dan Hands is normally hosting the show, and uh, we'll

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: host every single show, um forever once they trade me

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: for Lindsay Rhodes. Apparently he's not. He's feeling a little

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: under the weather. Uh. You know, he was here at

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: work today. He tried to battle through it. We sent

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: him home. It's you know, free agencies coming down and

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: we can we can run this ship. He came in,

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: he pumped out a post. You know, his hair looks

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: good as always. But one thing that West that you

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: and I have noticed today is that the Boss he's

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: got some nice hair. What do you where you? I

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: don't know. It was all scraggly, you know, but apparently

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: at some point this week you squeaked in and you

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: got a hair cut in the makeup room, which is

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: an unheard of action for low level talent of oriolk. Well,

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: I believe what happened here is that Greg is leaving

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: us behind. This is a power move where he said

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: he's important enough to go into the makeup room and

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: just demand a haircut. They give you free haircuts if

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: you're like if you're Lindsay Rhodes, or if you're someone

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: high up on the food chain. But we did not

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: know that we were able to have that service. Probably

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: we aren't. You are. I'm gonna grow my hair out

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: just so I can avail. That was the thing. My

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: hair looked terrible, and uh, the stylists there. You know,

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: he just thought he needed that. He thought I needed

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: some help, so he offered. So I'm not gonna say

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: no to a free haircut. Oh he he set this

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: in motion. Yeah, pretty much. I mean he offered. You know,

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna, you know, talk about it. But Michael

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Fabriano came over to our to our cubes today. He

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: brought it up that I was in the in the

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: hair chair. I don't think that's a bad move. I

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: just saved an hour of my life. I got two kids, Like, yeah,

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: that's more time I can go home or do work

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. Titia Diva move, complete Diva move. But I

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: think you could with a haircut. I know it was

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: a great haircut. By the way, it was awesome. I

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: actually did feel awesome leaving that being like, I can't

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: believe I just got a haircut at work. This is outstanding.

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: How you saved some dough and it saves time. Do

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: it work. You can play hoops, which we actually have

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: a hoop out here. You can want to shoot some

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: hoops sometimes. I think getting a haircut might might be

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: top of the list. Next time we need a fitness center,

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: little massage center. Speak for yourself. So it has been

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: a big week for me of course with the haircut.

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: Also got a big show coming up today. We got

53
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: a lot of news, not quite as much news as

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: the last for power packed free agency shows, and that's good.

55
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: So we can talk. We're generally what teams got better

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: in free agency and what team's got playing this. I

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: know Dan, if he was here, shout out to Dan,

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: he would be screaming some throwing of easy music for you. Well,

59
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: I like how you're throwing a shout out to Dan

60
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: one right before the show. You've just realized that he

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: was not joining, and t D said he could kick

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: back and relax, that there would be less pressure on

63
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: on TD today and spread his wings he said, Oh

64
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's not right. We're not you know, Dan's

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Dan is a good guy, but sometimes, you know, I

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: just need to kick back. You know. He gets these

67
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: messaging me so much sometimes, but we're not celebrating that

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: at all. West looks angry right now. I'm not angry

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, I don't not more of a pensive look. Okay,

70
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I thought you were. You were standing up for our

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: fearless host, who we do hope feels better. I think

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: he's been he's been swallowing up so much of this

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: jets hype garbage for the last week that he, you know,

74
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good. You know what I'm saying, it's toxified

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: the body. You're saying, I am all right, uh t d.

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Let's do a little news. That's my name, don't wear

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: it out John Travolta, Yes it is. Greg totally messed

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: that up, you know, because I sent an email to Dan.

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, make sure you say Greg. Come on, man,

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: you want to do it again. Now you're upset it's

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: not here. What did you say? You just said, make

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: sure you say your name and the news I said

83
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: at the very last part of it. Again, let's do

84
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: some news TV. That's my name. Don't wear it out.

85
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: A good producer would know. The first time around was great,

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: it was fine. Everyone got it. Now you just wasted

87
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: the whole minute already. All right, Let's start with the

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: most surprising news of the last few days, and that

89
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: was Monday night when we learned Chris Borland retiring from

90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: the NFL linebacker who led the league in tackles for

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: the weeks that he was starting. You know, he wasn't

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup early his rookie season. He missed

93
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: the last couple of games with an ankle injury, but

94
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: in between when he was starting, he was the league

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: leader and tackles by a wide margin. And he's decided

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: to retire h ventially over future health uh concerns. You know,

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of research into brain injuries and

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: he just decided for him, it was the right choice

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: to step away for them the game at twenty four.

100
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of conversation about this last couple

101
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: of days. Mark Sessler, what was your first reaction, man,

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I was home. It was like what

103
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: evening on the West Coast. Not a whole lot happening

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter than that thing dropped. And I mean I

105
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: think we all of us with with Borland last year.

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: It was around that Rams game weeks six or weeks

107
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: seven when he had started to seemore snaps where when

108
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: we checked him out on game rewind, Wow, he just

109
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: was a different kind of player and a forceful one.

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: And also everyone all that ever said him he loves football.

111
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: Football was his life. So to make this decision from him,

112
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: especially not some fringe guy, but someone who really looked

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: like he had an extremely bright future, it's yeah, it's

114
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: a discussion piece based on that alone. Well, he's a

115
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: player with his physical limitations. He knew that his playing

116
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: style was going to be more conducive to health concerns.

117
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: He had to play at a higher level. He had

118
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: to be more more physical than most people. That was

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: what to find him was how physical he was. And

120
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: that really struck me because if you read the article

121
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: on ESPN, which was really well done, that he started

122
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: having concerns in training camp when he thought he might

123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: have fought through a concussion or some sort of head injury.

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Wasn't sure because he wanted to make the team. He

125
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to report it, and yet he was having

126
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: these concerns. He wrote a letter to his parents that

127
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't think he's gonna be long for the NFL.

128
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: That was before the season, and yet he went out there.

129
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: When he was on the field, you would have never

130
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: guessed that it wasn't like a guy that that played

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: with any caution that he played with total abandoned for

132
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: the year he was out there. Yeah, And I think

133
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: one of the dichotomies of football is that since it

134
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: started as oversized cool miners and psycho passed in the

135
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties and thirties, it's been it's been the fringes

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: of society and and for most of the time the

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: football has happened, it hasn't been little kids eating twinkies

138
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and riding their mom's minivan who grew up to be

139
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: outside of quarterbacks, really who grew up to be football players.

140
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: It's been players who need it, who need that opportunity

141
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: for the money. And I think Borland is an example

142
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: of somebody who has options. It also reminds me a

143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: little bit of the nineteen sixties and seventies. There were

144
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot of players that we're backing out of the

145
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: NFL at younger ages, not because of concussion, but more

146
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: because they didn't agree with the social ramifications. George Sour

147
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: of the Jets, Dave Megsie right there there was a

148
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: number who you know, kind of coming out of the

149
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: sixties that were really anti establishment, kind of against what

150
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: the NFL stood for. And this is this is different,

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: This is more of a health concern. But it it

152
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: it struck me, It reminded me a little bit of

153
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: that that go ahead, No, I just I also from

154
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: another angle, the I kind of cannot stand Twitter and

155
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: what happened with this issue on Twitter over the next

156
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: twelve twenty four hours is a classic reason because people

157
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: wanting to overly praise him and overly judge him where

158
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: it's like, look, he made his decision, that's sort of

159
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: the start and the end of it, and wanting to

160
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: link it to the other young retirements that have happened,

161
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: when really those situations were each completely different, right, And

162
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: what else is there to say other than more power

163
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: to them? What what else can you say? Then? That

164
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: I damage that was pointing is that is what else

165
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: can you say other than you respect that decision? More

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: power to him? And there's room for nuance in this story.

167
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: But Twitter isn't the place to get that. Twitter is

168
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: the place to get affirmation for your own opinions. And

169
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: I think to me, the interesting part of these discussions

170
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: is there is there is another side of it that

171
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Pete gent If you've read North Dallas forty, one of

172
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: the greatest football books, he talks about in the beginning,

173
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the the cality of the game and that how alive

174
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: he felt, that he felt more in one Sunday than

175
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: he felt later on in entire years. So how do

176
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: you put a price on that? And what is worth it?

177
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a question. It's it's the most interesting

178
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: question about this whole dilemma. Well, it's a question every

179
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: NFL player has to make. And the reality is there's

180
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: probably a lot of Crisp Borland's out there, but they

181
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: take themselves out of the mix well before they get

182
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Yeah, total, Because I mean, it is

183
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: a tough decision to decide to play football is no joke.

184
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: That's why we're writing about it. I mean that's why. Well,

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I guess there's a lot of there, there's a lot

186
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: of reasons why. No. What I mean is that we're

187
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: not playing it that the it takes a certain type

188
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: of person, and and you brought it up the background too.

189
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: I think another great book about football is is Bringing

190
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: down the House. They have the name right, um about

191
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the through nineties Eagles bringing the heat, Bringing the Heat.

192
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean it is Mark Bowden, I us I just

193
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: stand we're here. He would know we are nerd ing

194
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: out big by the way, and I just uh mentioned

195
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: a Queen Latifa movie and I think instead of instead

196
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: of the book, I meant, but they talked about what

197
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: they called the sluice and it was like the amount

198
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: of people that start out playing football in seventh grade

199
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: and how that just keeps getting whittled down, whittled down,

200
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: and just what a lottery and what a miracle it

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: is to somehow make it to the NFL from all

202
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: those people battling. And it's amazing to see a guy

203
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: who at this point hasn't been injured in the NFL

204
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: to make that decision about his health. I think, like,

205
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and it's this is one thing people didn't talk about,

206
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: and Chris just mentioned it. I mean, he has other

207
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: options and when it's not just the physical sensation of

208
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: Sundays like you mentioned in that book. But it's the

209
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: adulation that comes along with being on the field and

210
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: hoisted up to walk away from all that and money

211
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: and everything else. That's why it's completely an outlier type

212
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: move on his part. At this point, he's got other options. Yeah,

213
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: at this point he says he wants to get into

214
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: sports management, which is interesting. I mean I take that

215
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: to mean being an agent or something like that, maybe

216
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: going back to school. Quickly, let's hit on the forty

217
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: Niners aspect of this. That they lose another inside linebacker

218
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: just after they lose Patrick Willis. It's been kind of

219
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: a disastrous offseason for them. We'll get to that later.

220
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Are you worried about the middle of their defense? Absolutely?

221
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean Patrick Willis was six time All Pro. Navarro

222
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Bowman hasn't played since he shredded his knee. He's a

223
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: giant question mark. Chris Borland was in the Rookie of

224
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: the Year race despite playing only half the season. Those

225
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: are three, I mean three of you could say, top

226
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: ten inside linebackers in the NFL. Yeah, and they were diverse,

227
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: and then you you know, they wanted to trade away

228
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: because they were so deep at one point, or maybe

229
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: they didn't like this guy, Michael Wilhoyt, but he's not

230
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: going to get traded at this point. He's got to

231
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: stay right there and probably starts opposite of Bowman next

232
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: season unless they go and get someone the one thing

233
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: player from what at least they think he's not a

234
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: bad player. They know he's like, he's a decent But

235
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: you're going from right the best of the best to

236
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: a decent starter. They have done. I mean, Balkie found

237
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: Borland in the third round in the Niners. The year

238
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: before he was the GM found Bowman in the third round.

239
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: So they know what they want and they've done a

240
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: good job landing these guys without having to burn the

241
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: highest possible pick. But now this team has a lot

242
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: of needs suddenly, and you're drafting for need over the

243
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: best player available potentially right and they've lost a lot

244
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: of people at the middle of their defense. Ray McDonald

245
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: is gone now, Justin Smith is probably gonna go, although

246
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: we don't know that for sure right now, and then

247
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: the two inside linebackers. So it's been a rough off

248
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: season for the forty Niners. Could it be a rough

249
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: off season for Philip Rivers fans in San Diego? This

250
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: dropped yesterday and to me it was the most interesting

251
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: and surprising news of the week. Philip Rivers said that

252
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers couldn't do anything between now and the season

253
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: to make him sign a new contract, that he plans

254
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: to play the season out and see what happens. That

255
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: it kind of blew my mind, Like, really paying you

256
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars two million dollars a year, that

257
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't that wouldn't do it for you. Could Philip Rivers

258
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: be an ex Charger by the end of May draft

259
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: As part of that article in the U T San

260
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Diego by Kevin A. Cy a really good article. Uh,

261
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: there are rumors flying, he said, rampant speculation brewing that

262
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers are into Marcus Mariota. And to me, if

263
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: you want to get into some Dot connecting, who number

264
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: two pick overall is the Titans. They have a chance

265
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: of getting Mariota. They also have kem wizzen Hunt, who

266
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: was the play color during Philip rivers two thousand thirteen

267
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: comeback Player of the Year. And Nashville isn't far from

268
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: where Philip Rivers grew up. He apparently the gist at

269
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: that article was Philip Rivers really likes the South and

270
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: isn't crazy about l A. Boy. Problem is you're then

271
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. Well, there's a lot

272
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: of dot connecting. It's not just by us, you know.

273
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: I talked to someone in the NFL media news group

274
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: this morning and this conversation had been out there and

275
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: the move to Los Angeles for the Chargers, the potential

276
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: move to Los Angeles is kind of hovering over things

277
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: and rivers and a C even made it clear that

278
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, they might not be a big fan if

279
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: if they moved to Los Angeles, might not be right.

280
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: That he wants to see where the franchise is in

281
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: a year in terms of the roster and like literally

282
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: where will they be? That that could be a factor.

283
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Shocking that a man with a giant collection of Bolo

284
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: ties might not see himself fitting in in l A.

285
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: L A accepts all types, but I think he's he

286
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: wants to go somewhere. San Diego, by the way, is

287
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: not you know, Bumpkinville out in the hill. There are

288
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: a passel of country music songs from the outlaw country

289
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: days until recently of men bemoaning l A. What about

290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Bigfoot West you guys have been there. That's like a

291
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: country far. That is not a country part. That's a

292
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: hipster haven. It's the closest thing I could like peel

293
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: off the fake wood and see what it was. A

294
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: country bar. So Ken wizzen huts there. And you know

295
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: the talk in Tennessee, the talk you know around this

296
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Rivers thing is that Ken wizzen Hunt would move heaven

297
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: and earth to go get Philip Rivers. And it makes

298
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: all the sense, right, makes all the sense in the world.

299
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: Ken wizzen Hunt knows another two and fourteen and his

300
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: head coaching career in the NFL could be over for good.

301
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: He knows Rivers is legit, and he's got that number

302
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: to pick. Mark. You have had a Sessler about Drew

303
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: Brees getting traded this offseason. Could it be that your

304
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: Sessler radar is you know, just a little off maybe

305
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: and instead of an ex Chargers quarterback, it's the current

306
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: charge that's possible. I mean maybe, I you know, the

307
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: roots of the organization he was once with is where

308
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: this is actually fine tuned. Maybe it's Rivers. I mean

309
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: the Titans, if they were not interested in Mariota at

310
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: the combine, the other thing they were saying with all

311
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: their pretty built words about wanting a quarterback is that

312
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: we will sell this pick. And if you're Ken wizzen

313
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: Hunt and you're on your last legs, potentially you have

314
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: to come to grips with the fact that, yes, you've

315
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: done a nice job with top ten veteran quarterbacks, the

316
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Kurt Warners, the big Bends, the Philip Rivers of the world,

317
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: but you have done nothing with young quarterbacks. Do you

318
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: want to hear what is left in Tennessee on Marcus Mariota.

319
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: You've done great with Hall of Fame quarterbacks, you know

320
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: you're not so good with basically every everyone else. Kurt

321
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: and Jerkers, I love this. By the way, you're putting

322
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Mariota into the mix now as a potential trade on

323
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: draft day, Philip Rivers as a potential trade that Chargers.

324
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, it could make like Dan hands Us believe

325
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: that the Titans are a real NFL team and shut

326
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: him up. I mean, it'd be this is great. I'm

327
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: just saying to be a little intrigue. It sounds and

328
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: after what happened last week, why would anything like this

329
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: Shaka right, I guess that's what I mean. Is It

330
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: felt like the NFL offseason was quiet down and I

331
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: really like this And on some level, I don't know

332
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: why the Chargers would really do it, well if they

333
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: really love Mariota, Like the article says, I don't think

334
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: you can talk about this story without also mentioning the

335
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Chargers have if they want Philip Rivers there, he's going

336
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: to stay there because of course they have the franchise

337
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: tag to hit with him next year, right, And I

338
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: didn't even clarify he's under contract this year, that's the

339
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: last year of his contract. And then you mentioned the

340
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: franchise tag, which they would happily give him a one year,

341
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar contract. I don't think they would mind

342
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: doing it. Wouldn't be the last guy that was forced

343
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: to move to l A for his job. We've got

344
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: two in this room. I'm happily here, but you guys, man,

345
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: we had to drag you here into Los Angeles. It's

346
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: an accurate state. I've totally enjoyed it, though I'm embracing it.

347
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I like living in l A. But you're right, I

348
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: was more or less. I am here, I am slowly

349
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: seeing the light. I am enjoying all TD. Did you

350
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: choose to live in Los Angeles, actually move into l A.

351
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: I moved from the job. Okay, like a week after

352
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: I moved. Yeah, that's basically what I did. But I

353
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: tried to do the job from New York for you here,

354
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: and then they weren't that big. I tried to stay

355
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: in Georgia and Greg told me to that was that

356
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: was that was never going to be an option. Another

357
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: uh guy being forced to move somewhere. I guess he

358
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: he made the choice. Charles Clay, He's moving from Miami

359
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: to Buffalo or Charles Clay. Yeah, chucky. He signed an

360
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: offer sheet with the Bills. They made it heavily frontloaded

361
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: twenty four and a half million over the first two years,

362
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: so it is unlikely the Dolphins will match it. Most

363
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: likely he will be Buffalo Bill by the end of

364
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: the week. They have Sunday until Sunday to match it,

365
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: and because of the rules of the transition tag, the

366
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins get nothing in return for him. Well, the Bill

367
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: structured this so it would hurt the Dolphins in two

368
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen when Sue has a monster cap figure,

369
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: which was smart of the Bills because the Dolphins don't

370
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: think that Clay is worth that kind of money. I mean,

371
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: I think if you're Miami and you just signed Jordan

372
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: Cameron too, you you have to look at bringing Clay

373
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: on again. It's maybe more of a luxury than a necessity. Man.

374
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: The money is kind of crazy for what he is.

375
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: But Buffalo, man, they must have fallen in love with him.

376
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: I Clay has got some excellent pr operatives in his

377
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: camp because he got into that NFL Top one Players

378
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: of last season and some people thought that was you know,

379
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: he's a good thing. He's a nice player, but is

380
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: he you know some of the people that were left

381
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: out of that in favor of him. Well, he got

382
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: He got the same guarantee as Jimmy Graham did after

383
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: holding out. I mean he got right, he got twenty

384
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: million dollars guarantee. That's what Jimmy Graham got. He got

385
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: about the same as Julius Thomas, who who made it

386
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: to free agency. It's the Buffalo tax you're talking. And

387
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: I know that the total deal is only worth a

388
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: little less than eight million dollars a year, but for

389
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: the next two years he's making twelve and a half

390
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: a year. That's quarterback money. That is way more than

391
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: Gronk or Jimmy Graham. That's like almost Calvin Johnson money

392
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: for the next two years, and you hope that he

393
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: stays healthy for the whole five years. But if he

394
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: stinks or if he gets hurt, uh, next year, you

395
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: have just paid Charles Clay quarterback money for two years

396
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: when he might be your fourth leading receiver on a

397
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: team with no quarterback. Because it's not a scratch for

398
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: a guy who plays a position that doesn't exist in

399
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: the NFL anymore. Sammy Watkins is probably gonna catch more

400
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: than him. Percy Harvin I would take over him, and

401
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: Lashawn mccoil probably have more catches than him. It's crazy.

402
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: But if you're a Bills fan, as much as they're

403
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money going for it, I kind

404
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: of like that. How you know, part of you has

405
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: to like that they have a big league owner that's

406
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: going to spend a lot and maybe they'll make some

407
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: big mistakes, but you would rather that than than the alternative.

408
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills are getting aggressive. Well, if the

409
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: Bills hadn't traded away their first round pick, maybe they

410
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: could have made a run at Philip Rivers. You can

411
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: put that team into the a f c's contention if

412
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: you had him to the mix. N I like that. UH.

413
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: One team that UH will not be in contention for

414
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: anything other than perhaps the number one overall pick next

415
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: year is the Oakland Raiders. They signed Trent Richardson to

416
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: a two year contract worth a surprising amount of money.

417
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: I think even the agent of Trent Richardson, I'll just say,

418
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: was surprised about how much money he could extract for

419
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson. Your thoughts, Chris Wesley. They finally found somebody

420
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: willing to take their money. Oh, nobody else was gonna

421
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: give Tray What about Nate Allen? As some of these

422
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: Raiders deals are crazy that that have come out. When

423
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: the money comes out, they they have been overpaying. They've

424
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: been paying. There's been a Buffalo tax this offseason and

425
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: in Oakland tax to get their players there. They've been

426
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: paying a lot. Mark is making a face. Well, it's

427
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: like you shouldn't have to tax someone to live in

428
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: northern California. But when you've got the Raiders situation, that's

429
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: a nice little cut out. It's a difference. It's like

430
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Curtis Lofton also got a lot of money. It's like

431
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: no one else has given Curtis Lofton that kind of money.

432
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: This is sort of the Raiders have had this coming

433
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: to them because I remember growing up in the nineties

434
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: when there was a Cincinnati tax. Nobody wanted to go

435
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: play for the Bengals, so guys like Warren Sap would

436
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: use the Bengal's interest to go drive up the price.

437
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: Didn't sign with the Raiders. Shoes on the other foot,

438
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: mal Raiders, Well, the Raiders. I don't know about the

439
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: guaranteed money. He might not even make the team. I

440
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: mean Latavius Murray and Roy Hallou are much better players,

441
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: so I don't expect Trent Richardson, you think to be

442
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: a big impact. Well, he's getting paid better. He's getting

443
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: paid around for over six career carries for Trent richards

444
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: and he has four four four runs over twenty yards

445
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: in six hundreds some carries. Latavias Murray had eighty two

446
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: carries last year and had four runs over twenty yards. Wow,

447
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: they mean Davias Murray had more yards and one carry

448
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: I think last year than Trent Richardson has ever had

449
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: in his career. There was so much heat about them

450
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: going out and redoing their entire backfield, and Murray probably

451
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: is the best guy they've had last year. This year

452
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: already they didn't have to do all that work. But

453
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: one thing about this self scouting in Oakland. You go

454
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: out and get mg D last year, you throw money

455
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: at him, he's throw money at Darren McFadden. And now

456
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: you've added Hulu is fine, He's that's that's not a

457
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: bad edition. But Trent Richardson, it's like, who is scouting

458
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: running backs inside this organization? And from what year are

459
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: they were watching videotape? I do like it's the same

460
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: person who was watching all of Matt Shops videotape last

461
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: year and decided this would be a good trade target.

462
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: I do like, though, that there is something about the

463
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Raiders that is stuck since Al Davis is passing, that

464
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: they're still kind of making moves that Al Davis would make.

465
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: Isn't Trent Richardson and now Davis move? Isn't Malcolm Smith

466
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: and Al Davis move signing the big names that kind

467
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: of failed else where the Super Bowl m VPS. Al

468
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: Davis was all about speed, and Trent Richardson's the slowest

469
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: running back I've ever seen. That's a fair point. I think.

470
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: I feel like Richardson has just not been healthy and

471
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: he may never be healthy again to the point of

472
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: where where he was drafted. I mean, he's he's also

473
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: too heavy. And what about Oakland and their offensive line

474
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: and what we've seen from them is going to be

475
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Everyone's called the Cults the best fit ever for him. Well,

476
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: I think so right. He said that he wasn't treated right,

477
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: and someone pointed out that it was a bad marriage.

478
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: And someone pointed out, like the essentially, the Cults are

479
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: a great catch there. They are great looking, they they're smart,

480
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: there's everything you would want in a in a marriage.

481
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: Would be the Colts for a running back. Erson was

482
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: out philandering, he was a bad husband. Was was the idea.

483
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: I forget whoever's tweet, this was Mark's. Mark's right. The

484
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: weight issues. Maybe hasn't been healthy, but you have to

485
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: wonder about his mental whatever. He's delusional. He he comes

486
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: up to Jack del Rio and says, oh, he said today, Well,

487
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: you know what, Jack del Rio really gave me an

488
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: epiphany by asking what if I'm out of football? That

489
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: thought never entered his mind until Jack del Rio. No,

490
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: I don't think so. He's been the laughing stock of

491
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, right, but he still probably sees himself as

492
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: a as a star. That's a total lack of self

493
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: awareness as well. And he's twenty four. So that's what

494
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: happens with that age. I mean, you know, maybe with

495
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars. Yeah, when you've been told

496
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: old up until two years, Russell has issue. Well, Russell

497
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Wilson's a complete He's completely unusual. Yeah, and that's twenty

498
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: four yards ahead of others. You know, I know West,

499
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: you were out there searching, searching for the media life

500
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: at I was. I had just left the post office

501
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: for the law firm. I was living in a commune

502
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: in Bolt, not a commune, but it was a farmhouse

503
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: with about twelve people. And so you know where was

504
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: my head at. My parents probably thought I was like

505
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: in between jobs. I had left l A after working

506
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: in TV for a while, and I was I was

507
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: teaching tennis for six months. You sound like far the

508
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: most productive of the group. Well that it wasn't what

509
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: didn't pay very well, I'll tell you that. Um you

510
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 1: know who is getting paid? Well, how about that Greg Hardy?

511
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: Who would have thought he would have gotten so much money,

512
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a Dallas cowboy. What could go wrong?

513
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: Greg Hardy Dallas? I mean this is I like it?

514
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: Why do you like it? Because I think the contracts smart.

515
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: If he comes in and he plays, and he's on

516
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: the field a bunch and he produces, he gets paid

517
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: a ton. And if he doesn't, you know, if there's

518
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: any more off the field issues, he doesn't get paid

519
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: much at all. So the details here were he could

520
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: make up to million in and with all if he

521
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: hits all his incentives, but nine to ten million dollars

522
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: were in per game roster bonuses. So this saves the

523
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys from paying Greg Hardy when he inevitably we think,

524
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: gets suspended. So he'll only end up making you know,

525
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: at most ten games, you would think of this salary.

526
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: Although we're talking about things we don't really know. We

527
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna get suspended six games, we

528
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna get suspended twelve games. And

529
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: so that Cowboys built it in. I was really surprised

530
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: that he even got this much money. I think they

531
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: were bidding against themselves. I don't think anyone was gonna

532
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: pay Greg hardy this kind of money. Uh, coming off

533
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: the year he had with that all said, I it's

534
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: a it's a gamble. I think that's probably worth taking.

535
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: He's a great pass rusher and and they'll have him motivated.

536
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: I thought of everyone who made it to the open more.

537
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Get this does not include guys got the franchise tag.

538
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: From a pure football standpoint, only Sue and Darrelle Revas

539
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: would be ranked ahead of Heart. Yeah. I mean, you'd

540
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: be right up there. If you take that stuff away,

541
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: he'd be right. What's funny you say that? Now, I'm

542
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: the one that had him sixth overall in our original rankings,

543
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: and you had him like seventeen. And I couch that

544
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: by saying this isn't based on talent. A learned that

545
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: when you're when you're purchasing free agents, you have to

546
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: factor in suspensions and public image. Is there anything, though,

547
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: about the fact that if he does get suspended six games,

548
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: that you're putting on a on the field. Suddenly a

549
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: guy that hasn't played in twenty two straight games. All right,

550
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: that's a big That's why it's a bigger risk. You're right,

551
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: But it's also not an old guy. He's not an

552
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: injured player. But you're right, you would think it's going

553
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: to take him a while to get back up to speed.

554
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: But we talked about that. They didn't have a pass

555
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: rush at all last year, and now they add Greg

556
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: Hardy and he's not a pass rusher. But they also

557
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 1: hope to add Shawn Lee to their front seven. So

558
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: in theory, you're getting two of the best defensive players

559
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: in the league from two thousand thirteen, still pretty young.

560
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: How about putting Shawn Lee on a game by game contract.

561
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: This has got West thinking by my great player point, Well,

562
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: they also lost their entire linebacker corps right last year,

563
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: Bruce Carter, Justin Durant who Blanda McLean. Orlando McLean is

564
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: a free agent. I think they'll probably bring him back.

565
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: This also is a reminder, by the way, everyone said, oh,

566
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: they can't pay anyone. You couldn't get Adrian Peterson. I

567
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: mean they're paying Greg Hardy lot. You can always find

568
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: a way. UH. The Ravens found a way to get

569
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: rid of another player who got in trouble with the law.

570
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I believe this is the third UH player today. It

571
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: was arrested in the offseason that they have released that

572
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: player is Bernard Pierce UH, their backup running back UH

573
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: during their Super Bowl run too Ray Rice, and now

574
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: of course both players are off the team. He had

575
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: a d uy after going out on St. Patrick's Day,

576
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: and he is quickly off the roster. Poor guy knew

577
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: what was coming too. Why is that? According to the

578
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: arrest report, yeah, what did he say? Well, tell the

579
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: listener told the officers when they arrested him, you know,

580
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: the last guy on this team to get arrested. They

581
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: released him the next day and he's like, I know,

582
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: you guys don't care. Are just letting you know. That's

583
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: how it's been in my face, and that like clockwork.

584
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: I remember at that being at that's Super Bowl with you,

585
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Greg and Pierce in that game. I thought I was like,

586
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, even if Rice slows down, they suddenly have

587
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: the next guy right in here. He's an interesting running back.

588
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: And then two years later they're completely refurbished in the backfield.

589
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: Not to be cynical, but if I if he played

590
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: better last season, I don't know if he's definitely cut

591
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: in this situation. He was a disappointing player last season,

592
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: really the last two seasons ever since Dan ranked him

593
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: very high on his off season running back rankings. A

594
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: couple that is unfair coming off that super Bowl. That

595
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: is unfair. I've got to stick up for Dan. That

596
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: is not you know, that's an age year old post.

597
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: He's not here and you're trying to bury him. Well,

598
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: everyone that listens to you know, we've got a couple

599
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: of listeners. By the way, thank you to our listeners.

Speaker 1: It's been working. It's been great. There were twenty seven thousand,

612
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: seven hundred downloads from Chili, the city, I mean the country, wait, really, Yeah,

613
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: how do you know that? I dug into the Hits

614
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know what's going on down in South America,

615
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: but something caught fire and then there were a lot

616
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: of people listening. It is crazy. You can break it

617
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: down by country and it's wild the different countries. There's

618
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: always like four people and like Togo, is that a place? Yes,

619
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: it is, Yeah, It's there's always like, right, we love you,

620
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 1: four guys. They're just hanging out. They talk, they meet up,

621
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: they talk out of the coffee shop. They're all. There's

622
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: a lot of countries I never heard of that, Yeah,

623
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: to go to Togo. Let's let's move on to a

624
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: couple of final quick news items that will get through

625
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: quickly before we go to our free agency wrap ups. Uh, Mark,

626
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: you're gotta be going to Phoenix in a few days.

627
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: Con Roars also going with you. One of the topics

628
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: in Phoenix will be all the rule proposals. You wrote

629
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: up an article today on some of the rule proposals.

630
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: I found it most interesting that the Cults proposed a

631
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: nine point possession, so you could score a touchdown and

632
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: then if you go for two and you get it,

633
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: you could kick What would have basically be a fifty

634
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: yard field goal to get one more point, and that

635
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: would be the nine point possession. I love it will

636
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: never pass. But I like how creative they were that

637
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: they just like made up something. It sounds like like

638
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: someone was drinking a lot. Well, that sounds like a

639
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: good team. The notes it's gonna be down by thirty

640
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: something points to the Patriots in the playoffs, and he

641
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: used to get back in Thanks for making that joke,

642
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: so I didn't have to. That's great. That one will

643
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: never pass. That was insane. What you just said is

644
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. Uh.

645
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: The more substantive ones were about instant replay and challenges

646
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: and everyone wants to get rid of or wants to

647
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: add to what you can challenge to pay treats. Would

648
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: like to challenge everything. Literally, they said that you could

649
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: challenge everything. Not the Lions made it more specific. They'd

650
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: like to just challenge any penalty. Shouldn't the Patriots should

651
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: just admit what they're doing. They should. We want to

652
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: make a football game twelve hours long, right, and that's

653
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: why that's part of the reason why I'll never pass.

654
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: They could expand it to things like personal foul pill

655
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: and penalties, um, things like that. Were there any other

656
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: big takeaways you had? I think the takeaway was that

657
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of sexy potential rule changes. But

658
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: they also said, which annoys me to no end, that

659
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: the whole discussion, there's no there's gonna be no new

660
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: rule about what it catches. They're gonna sit around and

661
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: have a conversation about the language in the rule book

662
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: about what it catches to what west just make it

663
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: three times smurkier. Yeah, they don't want to. They don't

664
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: want to go to the root cause of the problem,

665
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: which is that it's the most confusing role in all

666
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: of sports. They just want to clarify the language. Shadowy League.

667
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: It's entirely confusing. It's a lame role, and nobody knows

668
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: what a catch is, including your referees, including your coaches,

669
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: including your players, including you. But if you're at the

670
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: built More in Phoenix, and you've got some time to kill,

671
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: why not sit around and just talk about it and

672
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: do nothing about it. Patriots also proposing to move the

673
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: extra point back again. I like that they're not giving

674
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: up on this and putting cameras on all sidelines and

675
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: in the end zone and everything, which I think should

676
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: pass one of these years. But you're a huge lobbyist

677
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: for that. Well, it's insane. The most um wealthy and

678
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: influential sports league in the country by far, and we

679
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: can't have cameras set up at the goal line at

680
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: every stadium. I mean that, it seems like a very

681
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: small thing to ask for. Oh. One other one, they

682
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: want to have coaches no longer use the red challenge

683
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: flag and if they would call a time out, it's

684
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: called time out instead and they get the time out back.

685
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: I like that getting more red flag from Chris Westling.

686
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: That helps, uh, Lovey Smith, Marvin leew Is, Andy Reid

687
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: helps a few of these coaches. I don't know it

688
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: makes It puts a little more pressure on taking those

689
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: time outs. Ultimately, why is it hard for them to

690
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: fish around in their pocket for the red flag? But yeah,

691
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm probably wrong about this. Gregg's right. They could lose

692
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: the time out automatically instead of through the machinations of

693
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: the rule. Right, it'll punish them more. So maybe it'll

694
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: stop them from doing it, and maybe we would miss

695
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: out on Bill Belichick fishing into his sock for that

696
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: the flag like he does. It's one of my favorite moments.

697
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh crank through these last few ones.

698
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: Bradley Fletcher is going to the Patriots. Chris, you wanted

699
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: to talk about this, Well, he had he lost his

700
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: confidence and in Philly last year to the point where

701
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: he was getting burned on a regular basis and was

702
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: basically a laughing stock. And no doubt in my mind,

703
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots will turn him into a Pro Bowl cornerback,

704
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: I hope, so that would be awesome. Stevie Johnson is

705
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: going to the San Diego Chargers. Well, we kind of

706
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna join Bradley Fletcher and go to

707
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. But he's chosen to maybe be quarterbacked by

708
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: a team without Philip Rivers. It's got to be attractive.

709
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: I guess you must wish they released that article beforehand.

710
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they were holding off. I would have liked to

711
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: see Stevie Johnson in New England bigger role. I mean,

712
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: it's they don't they need wide receivers, that's for sure.

713
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: Malcolm Floyd, Keenan Allen, Stevie Johnson, you know they they're

714
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: running backs are weird green Gates. It's a lot of

715
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: like okay receivers after Keenan Allen, but not great receivers.

716
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: And let's let's finish on a big note. Michael Crabtree

717
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: still looking for work? Are you surprised? Chris Wesselen not

718
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: surprised at all. Visiting Miami though, who Mike Tannenbaum apparently

719
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: is a big fan of him. Is that a concession

720
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: that they won't be matching the Charles clayoff. I think

721
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: Jordan's signing Jordan Cameron was that concession, and I if

722
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: I was the Dolphins, I now like that Jordan Cameron

723
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: move better because they're giving Jordan Cameron less money than

724
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: they would have had to give Charles Clay. I'd take that.

725
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: I would take my chances. I would rather have a

726
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: healthy Jordan Cameron definitely over Clay. But that's the thing.

727
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: You don't know if Jordan Cameron will stay healthy. I

728
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: guess all this business about the forty niners to combine

729
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: saying no, we want Michael Crabtree back, Well, okay, you've

730
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: had a nice month to sit on that, right. They

731
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: don't want him back too much. I guess that was

732
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: just hot air well, Matt Mayoko of the CSM berre

733
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: he has said that if of all the teams on

734
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: Mike Michael Crabtree's wish list of r he doesn't want

735
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: to go back there at all. I would want to

736
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: go to Miami too. It sounds like fun if we

737
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: have to leave here, all right, let's talk about who

738
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: got better in free agency. That was a power packed news,

739
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: but we still have some time to talk about which

740
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: teams we think got better in free agency over the

741
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: last I guess it's only been a week, but really

742
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: even the pre free agency period, everything that's happened, it's

743
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: really the most uh interesting, busy time of team building

744
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: in the whole year, I think, over the last ten days.

745
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: So let's start with Mark Sessler. I'm gonna go Seahawks,

746
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's not overly complex. I mean, you're a

747
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,959
Speaker 1: team that already was arguably the best most talented team

748
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: in football, certainly in the NFC, and you've added Jimmy

749
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: Graham to the mix, addressing your biggest need, the passing game,

750
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: which had issues down the stretch. You've you haven't just

751
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: drafted someone that you hope will work. You've got a

752
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: home run total playmaker here. He'll make Russell Wilson that

753
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: much better. You lose Max Unger in the deal that

754
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: they definitely gonna need to find some depth along the line.

755
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: But other than that, this just makes Seattle Heads and

756
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: Tails the best team in that division, probably the conference.

757
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing because Seattle hasn't really done anything else. Ye

758
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: one very simple move and that that one move. It's

759
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: such a home run, and I agree with you that

760
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: they feel like one of the better teams. Do you

761
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: think they're by far the favorites in the NFC or

762
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: just I don't a little bit ahead of the right.

763
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: It's a little early to talk about. We grade all

764
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: this free agency by who across who acquires new players.

765
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: I think the Packers won free agency. They resigned their

766
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: own guys. Mark made this point earlier. I've seen this

767
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: uh pointed out in several places that Julius Pepper is

768
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: the only player on the entire roster right now who

769
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: has ever played it down for another team other than

770
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: the Packers. They they do it the right way. They

771
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: they build through the draft, They signed their own, they

772
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: extend their own. They they kept Randall Cobb, they kept

773
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Brian Balaga, and this is a team that controlled the

774
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game for three and a half quarters. To me,

775
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: they're right there with the Seahawks. Well that you just

776
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: gave away your team that got better in free agency?

777
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: There it is. They're one of them. Yeah, I mean

778
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: the best teams in free agency are the teams that

779
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: don't even need it. And Green Bay it's a huge

780
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: thumb up, thumb to the nose to everyone else. It says,

781
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: we're not even gonna use this. What's there's three ways

782
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: to get better? Ring going to touch the side because

783
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: there were they build completely in house, and I think that,

784
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, bad teams that don't have a quarterback have

785
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: to desperately go out and find these other shiny parts

786
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: and it's a terrible cycle to be in. We've seen

787
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 1: that with the same team's year after year in Green Bay.

788
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: When you have a good quarterback, since you can build differently,

789
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: I think they have the deepest roster in the NFL.

790
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: Just it's crazy that they don't have any free agents.

791
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: That they're part of it right. The Packer Report uh

792
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: dot com. I believe their Twitter account was the first

793
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: to uncover that Julius Peppers is currently the only member

794
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: of the roster that's ever played for any other team.

795
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that wild? TV something West about twelve seconds ago?

796
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: But when you can get that, that's why he was

797
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: spurring it. I was trying to organize and see what

798
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: was going on. You know, I I understand David, when

799
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: you're out there, I feel your pain. Sometimes you missed

800
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: the point that I like Wes's angle better because he

801
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: gave me credit for that when it definitely did not

802
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: come for me so good on NFL. Now this morning,

803
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a five minute time out. You guys

804
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: just take over the show. I've been suspended. I when

805
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: I had the Colts as a winner, they we said

806
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: over and over again in November and December that this

807
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: was an offense that is the most explosive in the

808
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: league when it's not being held hostage by Trent Richardson

809
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: and and an injury ravage Reggie Wayne. So they upgraded.

810
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Frank Gore is the opposite of Trent Richardson.

811
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: He's extremely reliable, and and Richardson was not reliable. And

812
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne just his body broke down. It's not his fault.

813
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: But Andre Johnson caught eighty five passes last year, closed

814
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: out the season in season finale with a ten catch

815
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: winner in thirty four yard game. Proven he's still plenty

816
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: left in the tank, preach If he can catch eighty

817
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: five passes from what Mallet and Fitzpatrick and Savage, he

818
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: don't forgets case Keenum catch a hundred from from Andrew

819
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: luck Well, I mean and then so we were just

820
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: glowing over Ted Thompson and the Cults are a different

821
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: grieg since a totally different type of team, A wheeler

822
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: and dealer. He wants to sign people. There are other

823
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: ways to get it done too, and the Cults feel

824
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: like one of those. Let's get over the top. We

825
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: want to challenge the Patriots. We have our sites set

826
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: on them. You go at Frank Gore, Andre Johnson, you

827
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: think they're good enough to get there? I don't know. Well,

828
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: I hope you haven't already one of you evs and

829
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: already made this point. But the Colts last year, whereas

830
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: the Packers led the league and having the most draft

831
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: to players on their team, the Colts led the league

832
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: and having the most free agents on their team. And

833
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 1: that was last year. That was before they signed Todd

834
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: Harriman's who's gonna start for them, Kendall Langford, who will

835
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: play for them? You mentioned Don Johnson, Trent Trent Cole

836
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: is a good signing for them. They bring back Mike Adams,

837
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: as he said, like that, I like, you can't really

838
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: fault they have to do some things in free agency.

839
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kendall Langford, Trent cool and the

840
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: return of Robert Mathis will stop Legarrett Blunt in the playoffs.

841
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: But but I like what they've done on offense. I

842
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: like thinking that teams would have to strategize just to

843
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: stop Lagarrett Blunt. Team certainly has. He only has one

844
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: good game every year. Uh, my winner, one of my winners,

845
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: but I guess it's the my main winner. I'm gonna

846
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: give it to the Buffalo Bills. Now. I didn't love

847
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: the money that they gave to Charles Clay. I don't

848
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: love the Buffalo tax that they had to give to

849
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy or Matt Castle for that matter. But I

850
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: do think Matt Castle is a significant upgrade me J. Manuel,

851
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: even though West disagrees, I do think Lashawn McCoy has

852
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: a significant upgrade from C. J. Spiller, which no one's

853
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: going to disagree about. And I do think overall they've

854
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: made their team much better with Percy Harvin and Charles Clay.

855
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: So even if the money is a little crazy, like

856
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: they had the cap room and this is a much

857
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: better team right now than they were a month ago,

858
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: and they were already pretty good there at day dress team. Yeah.

859
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: You also, I mean it's hard to always come back

860
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: to this point. It's probably one reason that I almost

861
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: went Jets here, but I have to leave the Jets

862
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: off the list. I mean, it's some nice they were aggressive,

863
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: like the Bills, well because you don't have a quarterback.

864
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: Dan was offended. He saw our show rundown and he said,

865
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: typical that we left the Jets. Well, they've gotten a

866
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of attention on this show, and I think that

867
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: we I think that they, at least unlike during the

868
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: Glacier phase, went out and said we're gonna go bring

869
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: back players. That mean somebody the organization into our fans

870
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: and we're gonna throw a lot of money. Now that's

871
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: gotta work. Yeah, but they brought in one big difference maker.

872
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 1: I guess too. You gotta give Marshall a difference maker.

873
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: He's a difference maker two, So they had to buffalo

874
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: to me brought in difference makers. I mean they Harvin

875
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: is a difference maker, Clay is a good edition, Hughes

876
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: was a big resigning McCoy's obviously. I mean these are

877
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: what does it mean like if you are let's say

878
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: it is Matt Castle for eleven games and E J.

879
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 1: Manual for five, what is the difference? How many more

880
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: games do this? Does this team winnings? You the prettiest

881
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: eight and eight team in the league. They're basically the

882
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: Rams in the NFC. Their defense at least has the

883
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: potential to be good enough, and with all those weapons

884
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: around him that I don't know, you can win. Some

885
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks have had eleven and twelve win season, and

886
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: this was a team I think was naturally going to

887
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: fall off of what they did last year. So I

888
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: think what these moves are doing, if nothing else, is

889
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: kind of preventing that from happening, because it was gonna

890
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: be tough to go nine and seven with that type

891
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: of quarterback play. Again, who goes second place behind the

892
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: twelve and four Patriots next year? One of these years

893
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna end. So, uh, those were our best. Those

894
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: were teams that who got better in free agency? The Colts,

895
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: the Packers, the Bills, and the Seahawks. But who got

896
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: worse in free agency? Let's start with Mr Westling. You know,

897
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: there are a lot of obvious answers here, but one

898
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: that kind of is flowing behind been below the radar,

899
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: A team that in this may have been led by

900
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: Damnaschick tramping through, tramping through the newsroom every day after

901
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: the season. Who's gonna give the Patriots the hardest game

902
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: in the FC this year? He thought it would be

903
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers, that they would be they would be the

904
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: biggest contender. Tell you're about to say the Texans, because

905
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: he's a Damnaschek is a huge Texans guy. Now, well,

906
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: anyway of late, I don't get that. Sorry, I don't

907
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't get the Texans thing. Yeah, I don't get

908
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: the text things. Sorry. Your point, well, they had a

909
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: lot of needs. They we thought they might fix the

910
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. They lose troop Troy Polamalo. They don't really

911
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: fix safety, they don't fix cornerback. They don't do anything there.

912
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: Jason World's not only leaves he retired. They don't want

913
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: James Harrison back, even though James Harrison was the best

914
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: defensive player on the field for them in many of

915
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: their second half games. I don't see how they've gotten

916
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: better at all. I think they've gotten worse with all

917
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: the losses they've had on defense. I mean, they but

918
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of in a Packers Packers this way. Unfortunately,

919
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: they lost more people than the Packers. The Steelers are

920
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: never big free agent operatives. They just aren't the differences.

921
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: They don't manage their cap well and they have to

922
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: let some of their good young players walk away over

923
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and Ted Thompson would not

924
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 1: let that happen. That so at some first round draft

925
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: picks haven't panned out like they used to paying out.

926
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: You're still waiting for Brillian Shays here and Jarvis Jones.

927
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: You don't know what they are right now. They're they're

928
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 1: a team. I agree that should be great, and then

929
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: you look at like the cap numbers, and then you

930
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: start realizing why things can get a little crazy When

931
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 1: Lamar Woodley is on their cap this year for nine

932
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: eight and a half million dollars. He's been on two

933
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: teams since and you have Cortes Allen at seven million

934
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: cap pit, Cameron Hayward at seven. You know guys that

935
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: aren't great great players when they're that high up, then

936
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: you get into problems. I mean, you think the whole

937
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: division is kind of like what's I started thinking about.

938
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: The Ravens lose Tory Smith and Burnell McPhee. They usually draft, well,

939
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be at least nine and seven or ten

940
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: and six. They usually are. The Bengals, I mean we

941
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: say this every year. We thought they might go out

942
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: and get a quarterback to challenge Andy Dalton after another

943
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: embarrassing first round playoff loss, and they said shortly thereafter,

944
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that. I don't care what else

945
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: they do with the roster. Yeah, they were not. Otherwise,

946
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: they're not a winner. If they If they they did

947
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: bring back Mike Nugent, well there you go. The Browns.

948
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: They lose Kyle Shanahan, Josh Gordon their quarterbacks in rehab.

949
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: They signed Josh McCown, who was underwhelming to Mark and

950
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: other Browns fans. Jordan Cameron's gone, Jibbal Shard's gone. I mean,

951
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: the Browns aren't a better team, not at all. They

952
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: probably us more talent than than some of these other

953
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: teams in the division, honestly, when they can't afford to

954
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: on any level. That's a good point. Well, they did

955
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: add Germon Williams and Randy Starks. We like those moves,

956
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: but a lot of money. Overall, they've they've lost more talent.

957
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: You're right, the whole division very quiet, was really an

958
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: interesting fun division. Maybe we go back to when the

959
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: a f C Central winner was eight and eight. I

960
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: like that, who is your who is your loser? Here?

961
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: Let's talk about a team that's not going to be

962
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: eight and eighth this year, and that's the forty Niners.

963
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: They might be three and thirteen because yes, you signed

964
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: Tori Smith and I don't know why he decided to

965
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: go there, but I mean we talked about it. Chris

966
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: Borland came out of nowhere. That's a disaster. Patrick Willis

967
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: has gone, Frank Gore has gone. Whether you like Michael

968
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: Crabtree or not, he's out the door. I mean, Justin

969
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: Smith probably won't be back. Your core, the core of

970
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: your defense, the heart of it right up the gut

971
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: is completely shredded and gone. That was what the Niners

972
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: were under Hardball and when they were on offense. They

973
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: were running the ball with Gore and really at this

974
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: point you got to turn to a second year running

975
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: back and Reggie Bush unless they don't, unless they go

976
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: out other people to anchor what is what they say

977
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: Jim tom Sewell says wants to be a run heavy

978
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: team again. I just I don't see it. I think

979
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot. This is another team that comes go

980
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: out in draft for need Well. They brought back Plaine

981
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,720
Speaker 1: Gabbert again. You know, he's it's if it's not Mike Nugent,

982
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: it's playing Gabbert. He's killing us with his comebacks. I

983
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't have a wonderful I'm just

984
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: saying that one kind of flew under the radar. Yes

985
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: it did, and he might play. I mean that's scary.

986
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: You know. You know how who is running their offense too.

987
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: It's it's a guy that was the third the guy

988
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: that Jim Harbaugh thought was the third or fourth best

989
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: coach offensive coach they had. You know, he wasn't the

990
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh, who's a great offensive mine.

991
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: He was the next in command after Greg Roman, who

992
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: also has gone. So it's just we that whole thing.

993
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: To me, that's my biggest concern with them, on top

994
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: of all the players they are. It feels like a

995
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: pond in late summer that the waters not fresh. It's

996
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: just old smelly water. Come on, you gotta get to

997
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: get some rainwater in there and clean this place out.

998
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: If the forty Niners want to use that in any

999
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: marketing brochures like feel free, Oh we're old smelly water.

1000
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: I do, I do? Can. I can already see myself

1001
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: in a future podcast in August talking about the forty Niners,

1002
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: Like I was talking about the Cowboys going into last year,

1003
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: will be five and one. Tom Seula is like a

1004
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: local here. I kept like trying to say, a lot

1005
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: of you guys had the Cowboys as the worst five

1006
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: teams in the league, and I kept just saying, they'll

1007
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: probably seven and nine. They have a good quarterback, they

1008
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: have Tony Roman. I do kind of think maybe everyone's

1009
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna end up slamming the forty Niners as this total

1010
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: disaster so much, where you know, they still have a

1011
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of talented guys in the team, they have Kaepernick,

1012
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: and maybe they'll be a little more like a seven

1013
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: and nine type of team. It's wise words from our supervisor. Uh,

1014
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: my team that was got worse over the last week,

1015
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: and this could get me in trouble with on particular

1016
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: shadowy League figure. It was the Denver Broncos. And I'm

1017
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the facts, and here are the facts.

1018
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: They have resigned Virgil Green and signed Owen Daniels to

1019
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: replace Julius Thomas. That's a big time loss. They have

1020
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: signed Shelley Smith two replace Orlando Franklin. That's a big loss.

1021
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: She'll be good. They have lost Terrence Knighton, they have

1022
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: lost Raheem More and they to sign to pick up

1023
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: a safety to replace anymore. They picked up Darian Stewart,

1024
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: who the Ravens had no use for whatsoever. So you

1025
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: just kind of look at the players that have gone

1026
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: out the door and you look at the players that

1027
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: have come in, and it has been really a very

1028
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: good offseason for the practice. Well I don't I think

1029
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: their entire future depends on which Peyton Manning shows up.

1030
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't really even care about those moves. Julius Thomas

1031
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: is the big one, But I don't care about you West. No,

1032
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Julius Thomas Moore isn't a huge loss, pot

1033
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: Roast wasn't a natural fit for wave fields. There are

1034
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: four of our top thirty players on our hundred and

1035
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: one free agent list. Look at that number twenty sixteen

1036
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: nine number three that Julius Thomas is the one that

1037
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: really stinks because their offense sung when he was in there.

1038
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: But I still think it all depends on which Peyton

1039
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: Manning shows up and can Peyton Manning effectively roll out

1040
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: twenty five times a game. They're not gonna ask them

1041
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: to do that, but I mean, there it's a whole

1042
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: new offense or it's some cobbled version of Kubiak's offense,

1043
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: and what Peyton Manning's lobbying for that is. That's one argument,

1044
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: though I think that they could be better. I'll take

1045
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak over Adam Gaze. I'm a Gary I'm a

1046
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak fan. I think success everywhere he's gone has

1047
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: offense will travel that. You know that's a good thing.

1048
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: But well, I take him over Adam Gays and Jay Cutler. Right. Uh,

1049
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,959
Speaker 1: But you know, not a lot of teams lost four

1050
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: quality starters. So those are teams that got worse than that.

1051
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: We have the Cowboys who got worse I was gonna say,

1052
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: do we have any others? I know they just signed

1053
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: Greg Hardy, but you they built their entire attack list.

1054
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: You're on DeMarco Murray the offensive player of the year,

1055
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: and look, I know you're gonna make fun of me.

1056
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: It would not surprise me if Darren. If Darren McFadden

1057
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: does well in Dallas. Because of his running style, he's

1058
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: always been more dependent than other running backs on his

1059
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: offensive line. He needs a big holder run through, and

1060
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: I think Jerry and Stephen Jones probably think, hey, we

1061
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: turned DeMarco Murray's career around, we can do the same

1062
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: thing for Darren McFadden. But that's a huge, huge gamble too.

1063
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: You know, when your whole foundation was DeMarco Murray list.

1064
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a fair prediction for McFadden,

1065
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: and they certainly liked him for specific reasons. But it

1066
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: also feels like a team that is going to have

1067
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: to go out and draft a starting running back unless

1068
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: they make a move here or some sort of a trade,

1069
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: and that doesn't Trent Richardson tell us that the last

1070
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: time they talked about, listen, this running back coming up

1071
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: through the draft, this is a guaranteed no issue going

1072
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: to be a total stud. We don't know anything. No

1073
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: one knows that for sure. Yeah, it's a lot of

1074
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: risks for you for a run based offense. They did

1075
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: they I guess they're getting Sean Lee back to play

1076
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: running back. Well, I'm just saying that's one big talented

1077
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: player coming out of there. I think they can I

1078
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,959
Speaker 1: think they can draft a running back. I mean, Jerry

1079
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: they can draft. Sure, they can draft him. But it's

1080
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: like a lot actually, outside of DeMarco Murray they've made

1081
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: They've had some big misses when they've drafted running back.

1082
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: The best running back in the draft is coming off

1083
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: in a cl No one mentioned the Eagles here as

1084
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: a team that got worse. So, uh, is it safe

1085
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: to say we're not buying? And I think if Dan

1086
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: was here, he might have picked the Eagles in fairness,

1087
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: But is it fair to say we're not buying all

1088
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: the doom and gloom about chip Kelly's crazy month. Well,

1089
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're better or worse. I've been

1090
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: taking a weight and see attitude towards what they're doing.

1091
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: If Sam Bradford is who Chip Kelly thinks he is,

1092
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: or who he thinks he can turn them into. Then

1093
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: they're better, but they could be. They could be much

1094
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: worse next year. I'm with you because, if anything, Chip

1095
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: Kelly certainly feels like people saying he has no plan.

1096
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: Why think he very much is determined to do something

1097
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: his way, And I'm I don't want to judge it

1098
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: right now. I mean a lot of they brought an

1099
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: imported a lot of injury risk type guys. Let a

1100
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: lot of talent go. But who knows that's a team

1101
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: that could still in eleven games. Yeah, I think it's interesting.

1102
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: I think they have brought in a lot of talent

1103
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: that his moves have been bold and a little crazy.

1104
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure they're worse. It wouldn't surprise me

1105
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: if they're better. I want to see how this team

1106
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: comes together. When I didn't make the playoffs last year.

1107
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: They could be better than that, right, I want to

1108
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: see how Sam Bradford looks in their offense. So it's like,

1109
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: if you look at their moves one by one, I

1110
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: don't think any one of them is crazy, but when

1111
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: you kind of add it all up, it's just it's

1112
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: a lot of moves. Uh. No Patriots on this list either,

1113
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: You guys. Just they're going to be twelve and four.

1114
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 1: I know, but they lost they lost Derrell Reeves. Yeah,

1115
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 1: but they've been twelve and four hundred times. Yeah, bringing

1116
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: the old medieval music. What are you doing? You're trying

1117
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: to convince us to rip on your team. No, I'm

1118
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: just asking the question. He's got his legs up on

1119
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: the table. Now. The throne of this is great. You

1120
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: know what. The throne of ease is. The throne of

1121
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: eas is. I don't care if they go nine and seven.

1122
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,919
Speaker 1: I'm serious, day Won I'm happy. It has been great.

1123
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: It's been the best fourteen years you could ever ask for.

1124
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: If it's over, I'm cool with that. Who's managed the

1125
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: salary cap better than the Patriots since Bill Belichick got there? No,

1126
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:27,959
Speaker 1: not a team in the league, so it doesn't bother

1127
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: me what they've done. I like what you're saying. All right, Uh,

1128
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be it for today's show. We got It's

1129
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: not a lot of stuff. I've been waiting for this

1130
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: since the topic has been a long show here. I

1131
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: know you. You've shown you you've shown to be an

1132
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: expert in this field. So I want you to tell

1133
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: me what what do these five things have in common?

1134
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: Last Holiday? Just right, beauty shop here, spray taxi? What

1135
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: are those five things? What do they all have in common? There?

1136
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: Movies cluing l tie from being a tie because it

1137
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: was pretty surprising. How you you know you knew bringing

1138
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: out the House of que movie. Yeah, now I could

1139
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: have gotten that. The first few is where you'll see

1140
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: Last Holiday. I never heard of anything taxi. Uh there

1141
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: was the movie with Jimmy Fallon that quickly ended his

1142
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: movie career. Was it was that taxi? That was it?

1143
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: He would have never thought that he would have bounced back. That.

1144
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: That's strong as he has percifully ended his movie career. Well,

1145
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: that is a strong note to finish on Queen Latifa's

1146
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: I am dB page. Next week we're gonna talk about
