1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody, John middlecop that's

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: me three and our podcast. That's the show. We are

3
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: brought to you by my friends at Zone Pouches. Hopefully

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: everyone is doing well. We've had had a lot of

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: stuff going on, obviously, Colin on Sunday Chiefs Reaction Sunday

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Night as a podcast, Eagles Reaction Monday Night as a podcast.

7
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: Today will be a big mail bag at John Middlecoff

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: at John middlecoff Is the Instagram, as well as reacting

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: to Philip Rivers, who is forty four I'd say coming

10
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: out of retirement. He's really coming off the sideline in

11
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: high school where he's been coaching. Turns out he's been

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: running Shane Stiken's offense. So some quick thoughts there as

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: well as the mail bag, and that will be the

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: game today. I'm recording this Tuesday afternoon. And yeah, so

15
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: you guys know the drill. If you listen on Collin Speed,

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe, subscribe to that YouTube channel. We

17
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: appreciate all you guys. But before we dive into Philip Rivers,

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta tell you about my friends. You know,

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about my partners and their game

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Time because they're the best ticketing app that you've ever seen.

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: I've been a user of game Time now for I've

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: been going on three plus years, and they have the

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: easiest interface you will ever see. So if you want

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: to go to an NFL game, just download that app

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: and you can find tickets for as low as one

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. You can find flash deals. The price you

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: see when you purchase a ticket is the price you

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: pay at check out. How often on some of these

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: sites do you know, purchase a ticket and then you're

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: checking out and they hit you with seven fees? It's ridiculous.

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: Not a game Time because they want you to take

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the guest work out of buying tickets with game Time.

33

Speaker 1: day last minute to take as lowest price guarantee. Philip Rivers. Honestly,

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: this story is one of those that just makes you smile,

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: partly because it's so ridiculous, partly because it's Philip Rivers

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: who I've been banging the table forever, and I get it.

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: He's got twenty five kids and he loves coaching high

42
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: school ball. Turns out he's running Shane Stiken's offense and

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: they talk every week, which makes sense. A couple of

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: just football junkies. But I think we see Drew Brees

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: on television, we see Tom Brady on television. Philip Rivers

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: would have been a stud. He would have been, you know,

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a mixture of like a Madden meets Gruden with a

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: with no swear words. Obviously Madden didn't cuss. Gruden didn't

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: either on TV, though you could tell he always wanted to.

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: So I've missed Philip Rivers in my life. There are

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: certain athletes that whenever they come back in your life,

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: like we've been very lucky, right, We've had Charles Barkley

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: in my life, my entire life. When I was a kid,

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: he played, He played in the NBA, and then he

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: immediately went into in the television and we just get

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: to consume him and he makes me smile. It's one

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: of Charles's best characteristics. So many people want to be

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: like him. It's like bro, he makes you laugh. That

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: is his key like that is what he brings the

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: table beside just whatever else he's you know, talking hoops

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: or being a dude, and just he's fun. And John

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: Madden was fun. Philip Rivers is fun. And I've you know,

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: back when I was around the Raiders and doing radio,

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: going to all those Charger Raider games at the Coliseum

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: up in Oakland. You know, I've seen him have great games.

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: I've seen him shit the bed and have terrible games.

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: I think the last game ever in the Coliseum was

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, and Rivers I think ended the game

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: on an interception to Charles Woodson. If I could be

70
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: remembering this incorrectly, but it kind of feels in that world.

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: But I think this also shows one of my first

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: football reactions is is this safe? Like, if Philip Rivers

73
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: ends up their starting quarterback moving forward, is this safe?

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't played in the NFL in years. He obviously

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: was never a great athlete to begin with. He does

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: not have a great arm. And you look at their schedule.

77
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: They get Seattle this week at Seattle, not an ideal

78
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: landing spot. Elite team, speed pass rush dbs and linebackers

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: that can blitz against an elite defensive coach. That is

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: not an easy landing spot in theory. Because the Niners

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: have a bunch of injuries, that's a little bit easier

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: of a team. But I don't care who plays for

83
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the Niners. They have a standard and they are looking

84
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: to hit people and hit people hard. The Jags clearly

85
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: have a good pass rush, and the Texans are probably

86
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: as ferocious of a defense as they're in the NFL.

87
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: So two of the four of these opponents, I mean

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: big time defenses, The Jags pretty good and the forty

89
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: nine ers have one of the best, if not you know,

90
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: a top two or three defensive coordinator in the league.

91
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Is he safe out there? Right? He cannot run, he

92
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: can't get away. There is just if I don't care

93
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: what you do in life. If you and this is

94
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: where I disagreed with Colin years ago, his whole thing.

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: When John Gruden came back, He's like, you can't leave

96
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: an industry for a decade and come back and know

97
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Not in the business, it's really competitive, right,

98
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: You couldn't just leave the media landscape in twenty fifteen

99
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: and come back in twenty twenty five and have a

100
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: shot people be running circles around you. Right in Wall Street.

101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: You couldn't just disappear and come back. There is a

102
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: massive curve because of the speed in which things change. Now, well,

103
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: football is the same thing, and I get it. You know,

104
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: Philip would say, hey, it's still you know, ten yards

105
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to get a first down. The concepts, you know from

106
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: the offense haven't necessarily changed. And as they have. I've

107
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: known about him because I talked to the coach. But like,

108
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: you're not used to the speed and Collins all things,

109
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: John Gruden, this isn't gonna work. I was like, I

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: think it will, but I kind of bought the kool

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: aid and I was wrong. It was not working. And

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: I do believe that Rivers. You know, they went through

113
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: that stretch with when Luck retired of having to get

114
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, older veteran quarterbacks, and they

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: multiple of the guys had something in common. They were washed.

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: They were older players whose prime was well behind them,

117
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: and arm strength wise, Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers never

118
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: had great arms to begin with, but by the time

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: they played for the Colts, their arms were diminishing. Now,

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: River's numbers actually weren't terrible when he was in Indianapolis.

121
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: But it just shows you how desperate this team is.

122
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: And sometimes listen like the old adages like never make

123
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: big decisions out of desperation. That's all well and good

124
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: until you don't have a choice and you're in a

125
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: desperate mode and you have to pull the trigger and

126
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: make a decision. And that's where they're at. But I

127
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: do think when it comes to Indy Is, I do

128
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: give them. I do respect the fact that they did

129
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: this and they didn't roll out some like random Desmond

130
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Ritter type, some random guy on a practice squad. Right.

131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: They're in this predicament because they've had major injuries. Daniel

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Jones is a broken leg and a torn achilles. That's

133
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: not funny, even though it is like usually when a

134
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: guy's a major injuries. I tell my acl this guy's

135
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: a broken leg and a torn achilles on two different legs.

136
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. It's almost like a skiing accident when

137
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: a guy slams into a rock or something. But I

138
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: don't know, man, this is a fun story. I hope

139
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: he plays against the forty nine ers. That would be

140
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: really entertaining. I kind of hope he doesn't play against Seattle,

141
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: because I think that could be really ugly. But they

142
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: might not have a choice. And I mean clearly they

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: don't have a choice when they signed him. And I

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: said this on Monday night, and I believe this more.

145
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Do you know who's very jealous right now? Do you

146
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: know jealous Tom Brady is? Do you know jealous Paid

147
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Manning is? Do you know jealous Drew Brees is? Not

148
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: that they would want to play in a game, because

149
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: they would. They are no dummies, they know, like I

150
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: would get killed. I can't move. But like just getting

151
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: that call, like Philip, you want to come work out

152
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: for us? Like that had to get his juices going.

153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's like one last ride, cowboy. I remember

154
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the famous story Tim Flannery, who was Bruce Bochie's third

155
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: base coach in San Diego. When Bruce Bochie got the

156
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: job with San Francisco, I think in like you know,

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: the late two thousands, he called Tim Flannery, who I

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: think he had fired in San Diego and said, you

159
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: know what, cowboy, we got one last ride in US

160
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: and they won three World Series. And just just that

161
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: call of like someone believes in me. I don't I

162
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: don't care what you do, but as an athlete, you know,

163
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: as a if you're Philip Rivers, you would say, I'm

164
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: a has been I don't have it anymore, but maybe

165
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: I do, you know. Let's see, are you sure I don't? Am? I? Am?

166
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,320

195
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: the mail bag. We will start with Dominic with the

196
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Bills glaring problem at wide receiver and pass rushers. I'm

197
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: assuming they will be picking up one this off season.

198
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: What do you think is more vital for the Bills,

199
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: and who do you think would be the best fit

200
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: for the Bills, whether that be a trade or a

201
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: draft in the off season. The line of scrimmage to

202
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the if I'm Buffalo is what I invest in. Like

203
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: I Shakir was a mid round pick, right Cook was

204
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: not a first round pick. Kincaid was, but I mean

205
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't exactly lit the world on fire. Keon Coleman,

206
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: we drafted really high and that's been very up and down.

207
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm investing in Lineman, so I wouldn't get ahead of ourselves, Like,

208
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: let's just they have an enormous game. I mean, one

209
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: of the biggest NFL games of the year is this

210
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: weekend in New England, New England versus Buffalo. Like I

211
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: would spend less time worrying about like who we're going

212
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: to get in the draft and in free agency. I mean,

213
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: who even knows who's gonna become available. Older guys get cut,

214
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: older guys are on the trade deadline, or I mean

215
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: on the trade block is you know, coaches get fired,

216
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: so you just there's so much unknown on December ninth.

217
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: But if I'm a Bills fan, the only thing I'm

218
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: worrying about is can we beat the Patriots. Look, we're

219
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: favored in that game, but do I feel great about it?

220
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I actually kind of think the

221
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: play is New England just coming off of bye. You

222
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: know that game against Buffalo is in major trouble against Cincinnati,

223
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: now you would say, Burrow, you know it's kind of

224
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's killer. But their defense has major, major question marks,

225
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: and the easiest way to make a defense better is

226
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: to have awesome defensive linemen. So I would I would

227
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: worry less about the offseason and kind of enjoy the ride.

228
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: Like you're playing. You've had this run with Josh Allen,

229
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: who just had a massive game against Cincinnati. Your defense

230
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: came through a two enormous plays that saved the season.

231
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: Part of saving the season now is like, well you

232
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: can take advantage of it if you lose the Patriots.

233
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: It was almost like, well that kind of that kind

234
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: of was a tease. Ryan. Do you think we'll see

235
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: more larger foot programs offer their top prospect college tuition

236
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: in cash to pay for college rather than give them

237
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: cash and a scholarship, so they can leverage the limited

238
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: amounts of scholarships to those who they don't have to

239
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: give cash to. That way, they can't get around their

240
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: limited scholarships due to Title nine. Well, if you run

241
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: a you know, Ohio State or Alabama, they get eighty

242
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: five scholarships. So scholarships don't really matter. I would say,

243
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: like they're not being talked about in the conversation of

244
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: landing a player, because if I'm gonna give a guy

245
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: five hundred grand his tuition of forty grand a year,

246
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm also covering his housing costs, you know, his meals

247
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: with the team, Like the scholarship is part of the deal.

248
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I think the scholarship now

249
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: is viewed as such an irrelevant piece of the puzzle

250
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: that it's all about the nil and that's just part

251
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: of the package. I'm pretty sure. I don't know the

252
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: details of this, but I don't think walk ons exist anymore.

253
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: So everyone on the team technically has to be on

254
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: scholarship or that's gonna happen very soon with the revenue

255
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: sharing agreement. So I hear what you're saying, but I

256
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: think the way it's going to work moving forward with

257
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: the quote unquote revenue share is not even a possibility

258
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: if you're on the team, you're technically a scholarship player,

259
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: and you're on revenue share. Where do you think CJ.

260
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Stroud ranks amongst quarterbacks? He has shown signs of incredible talent,

261
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: but has been inconsistent since his rookie season. Also, I

262
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: think detections should extend him. But it's tough to say

263
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: what the price would be. Sometimes you can watch a

264
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: guy and I don't even know what his numbers were

265
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, but like, that was an impressive game.

266
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: He missed a couple, but he made some big time

267
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: plays and to me, moments like that against a team

268
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: like that, who's backs against the wall on the road,

269
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: there's a small limited guys that don't. They can't function

270
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: in that environment, and he can, Like I know, like

271
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: you said, he's been up and down the last couple

272
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: of years because of the offensive line. Obviously got injured

273
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: this year. I was impressed, Like, to me, he's a

274
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: guy that you should like. At worst, he could have

275
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: a Dak Prescott like career. It's on Casario, it's on

276
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Demico Ryans to basically build this thing up and you know,

277
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: protect him. But he's I was really impressed, Like, honestly,

278
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: I thought he outplayed Patrick or every bit as good

279
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: as him in that game. So I think CJ's pretty

280
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: good ranking. You know, I don't have him like with

281
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: Josh or Joe Burrow, but I think he's he should

282
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: be a consistent top ten quarterback for the next ten years.

283
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: What had the scouts NFL personnel said about Mendoza recently.

284
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: I remember a few months ago, they weren't saying he

285
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: they were saying he wouldn't even be a top ten pick.

286
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Did he did? He need to prove it. He's still

287
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the same six or five good arm kid who beat

288
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: Oregon a few months ago. I think when he beat Oregon,

289
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: the buzz grew. I think when he beat Oregon that's

290
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: when it kind of changed a little bit. I think

291
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: that was I'm real, guys, and that was a moment

292
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: that I do think he kind of went from interesting

293
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: prospect to like, this is a real, real prospect. And

294
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: then that game against Ohio State was just you know,

295
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: some of those throws, some of those plays he made,

296
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the toughness he showed getting hit. I would be hard

297
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: pressed to probably meet many people in the NFL. They

298
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: don't view him as a top again, like I understand

299
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: people going I wouldn't take him number one overall, but

300
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: if you take him twelve overall, what the fuck's the difference?

301
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: If he's the number one quarterback and you need a quarterback.

302
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: This is the argument from NFL personnel people. It's like,

303
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: you take the guy at four that you would take

304
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: at twelve, right if he if he's your best option, right,

305
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: if you're picking between three or four guys, okay, but

306
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: if he's if the other quarterbacks are not first round

307
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and you need a quarterback, Like, if someone's gonna

308
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: take him at seven, then you can take him in two,

309
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: and my gut, again, things can change. This is a

310
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: fluid business. Injuries, poor play against better opponents. I would say,

311
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: as of December ninth, I would bet on him being

312
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. Like you said,

313
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: six five, two hundred and thirty pounds, big arm, high

314
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: character kid, you know, good family, kind of goofy like

315
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: cousins luck, which is actually a plus. You don't have

316
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: to worry about him screwing around, get in trouble. I

317
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: love people being like, yeah, he's kind of goofy. He

318
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of Kirk Cousins, you don't think

319
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: teams like that, like his teammates clearly like him. So

320
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: would I rather have like, you know, kind of goofy

321
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: dude and just kind of nerdy like Luck Cousins, or

322
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: do this party and drinking all the time? That also

323
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: his teammates like now. Granted, most of these guys in

324
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: the NFL in twenty twenty five are pretty focused cats,

325
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: but I think that's a that's working in his favor.

326
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Do you think the Giants can easily become the standard

327
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: in the NFC East? Well, did my producer Shane write this?

328
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: I think we got to pump the brakes here a

329
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: little bit standard in the NFC East. They are currently

330
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: what's the Giants record? Oh, they're two and eleven. So

331
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: last year they drafted abdual Carter third. Overall, let's just

332
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: let's walk before we run, let's get a real coach,

333
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: let's get some better players, let's keep elevating the guys

334
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: we got, and just try to become an eight win team.

335
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: So I do think the standard to be the standard

336
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. Listen, Phillies and Shambles, they are

337
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: what do they have a I guess, they only have

338
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: one less loss than the Cowboys, but the Cowboys have

339
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: two less wins, so they would have to lose another game.

340
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: And even if the Cowboys win out. So if the

341
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys won out ten six and one, and if the

342
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: Eagles won out at eight, they'd have twelve, they'd have

343
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: to lose two of their last four. Probably pretty unlikely.

344
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: I would say the Eagles, they've won the division what

345
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: two of the last three years, They're probably gonna win

346
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: it again. I think, listen, we can make fun of

347
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: them all we want. They're pretty clearly the standard. I

348
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: have a Jordan Love MVP ticket at four thousand to one,

349
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: so or I guess plus yeah, four thousand and one,

350
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: so basically forty to one. So if you bet one

351
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, you win four K. If you bet one

352
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: thousand and you win forty be a nice hit if

353
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: you did. Would you cash it out now or let

354
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: it ride? I can double up with a cash out now.

355
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: This weekend's kind of tricky because he could throw three

356
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns in Denver they win in Denver, that cash out

357
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: could double. From where you're at, he throws for one

358
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards a couple of picks, they lose,

359
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of comes back to earth. Now, he could vault

360
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: back up in a week against the Bears, but this

361
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: is kind of a pivotal point for him, right, So

362
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: if I we'll bring up the Packers' schedule, if we

363
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: assume he plays well in this game, he could really

364
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: drive it home. The next couple weeks they go to Chicago,

365
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: he plays well, they win it. I think he'd be

366
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: right there. Then the Ravens and Vikings, he can kind

367
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: of hammer it home toward the end. Plays bad this week, though,

368
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: I think it would be a little unlikely that he

369
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: wins it. So if you want to take the logic

370
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: of you never go broke taking a profit, I think

371
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: you can't be mad at yourself for cashing out. Now.

372
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't know your financial situation, but I'm just gonna

373
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: let's just assume you put one hundred dollars on him,

374
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: so you have the opportunity and one hundred dollars into

375
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: forty thousand, the enjoyment and the fun. Now, if you

376
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: need the two hundred dollars, I get it. If you,

377
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can even get for two

378
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and twenty twenty five and that buys you

379
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: like a sandwich and bag of chips, and like, you know,

380
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: a quarter tank of gas. But if you need that

381
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars today, then cash out. But if you don't,

382
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: and one hundred dollars is something that you can handle losing,

383
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: it makes the last month of the season really fun.

384
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: I say. Sometimes, like when I do some of these

385
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: like one hundred dollars parlays, you know that pay I

386
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: don't know, thirty to one that would win three grand.

387
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Even if I don't win, the enjoyment I got out

388
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: of that game was worth one hundred dollars of entertainment.

389
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: Like nothing this what do I get for entertainment anymore? Right?

390
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: Like when I bet on these PGA Tour events and

391
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: I get a guy thirty to one or forty to one,

392
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: and I put fifty dollars on him if he's in

393
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: the mix on Sunday. Even if I don't get my

394
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: money back, that fifty dollars has me glued to the

395
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: couch in the middle of May when there's nothing else

396
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: going on, and that entertainment's worth it for me. So

397
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: I personally, again, assuming it's not a large amount of money,

398
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: or amount of money relative that's going to impact you.

399
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: I'd let it ride for the enjoyment. I'm a second

400
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: gen Lions fan and I rep hard, go to games,

401
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: buy swag. Heck, my friends made me a Lion's cake

402
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: for my fortieth Check my g and you'll see the

403
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: Lions logos everywhere. I was never into college football, but

404
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: I now, because of college football playoff, have a lot

405
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: of love to give. But I need a team. I

406
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: want one I can grow with, but not a current

407
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: front runner because I hate bandwagoners. I'm open to being

408
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm open to being open any suggestions. Until I read

409
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: the part about front runner, my first response was just

410
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: you're already Detroit guy. Just go with Michigan. Now. You know,

411
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: Michigan is down a little bit relative to what they

412
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: were a couple of years ago, but they're not going anywhere.

413
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: That would be my first response. It's an easy carryover.

414
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: You get Michigan alliance, right, it's like a Browns fan,

415
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State right, Niner fan, cow fan, you know, Cowboy fan,

416
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: Texas fan. It's an easy transit. Now, if you want

417
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: to go a little off the beaten path, I think

418
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: you still need to root for a team that has

419
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: a chance to get in the playoffs, right, You wouldn't

420
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: want to just be a fan of like Mississippi State

421
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: to be counterculture and have them never make the playoffs.

422
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: That would suck. So you need more of a team

423
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: in like the fifteen to thirty range, and I think

424
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: the team would be I think it would be a couple.

425
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: If you want to bet on the changing landscape of

426
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: the sport, I think Vanderbilt would be pretty cool. Their

427
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: head coach Clark Lee, who had an awesome comment today

428
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: about like, yeah, this program plays football. They was asked

429
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: if they were gonna opt out of the bowl game.

430
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: He's like, no, We're a football program. We played football.

431
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if Pete Leavauqua says one more fucking thing,

432
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna puke in my mouth. But respect to Clark Lee,

433
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: I think Vanderbilt the ever changing world with nil could

434
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: really benefit them. I think they just landed the number

435
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: one quarterback in the country to replace. You know, if

436
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Fernando Diego Pavia would have won the

437
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. And I'm a sucker for this program. Now

438
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a new coach in the next year

439
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: or two because Whittingham's gonna retire. I do think Utah

440
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: is a team that you can just kind of be

441
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: proud of. They're usually good on defense, they're usually pound

442
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: the ball running it, and if they get a decent

443
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: quarterback like they can be a top ten team. They

444
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: went ten to two this year. Their two losses were

445
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: to Tech and BYU and Tech. They got worked, but

446
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: be I use it was a close game. It was

447
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: a fun game on Saturday night. I would go with

448
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: Vandy or Utah if you want to go no on

449
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: like Notre Dame, Oklahoma Oregon types. I think those two

450
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: would be cool. And on a yearly basis, Utah I

451
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: think you have a better chance on a yearly basis

452
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Vandy would be fun if it

453
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: does turn around. Question for the mailbag, what do you

454
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: think people talk about coaches being good at making halftime adjustments.

455
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: I heard someone ask Ben Johnson after the game on

456
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: Sunday about how he managed to make his halftime adjustments,

457
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: and he responded by saying he didn't make any at all.

458
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Is this normal thing or misunderstood? I think where all

459
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: these guys have always pushed back on that is you're

460
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: making adjustments based on every play, every series. So just

461
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: because you come in at half, you have been making

462
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: adjustments throughout the first In the second quarter, right the

463
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: first couple series, you guys are kind of feeling each

464
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: other out. By the time you've each had three or

465
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: four possession and it's seven minutes left in the second quarter,

466
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: like you're on the headsets, You're like, hey, let's scrap this.

467
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: This was a game plan play there, let's take this away.

468
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: Let's keep running this because clearly they're buying into it

469
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: and we can hit him with the counter. So I

470
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: think when like Brady and Peyton Manning and those guys

471
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: always say like halftime adjustments don't exist because you adjust

472
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: every single snap, you adjust every single series. So halftimes

473
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: more about like everyone gather yourself, maybe like a big

474
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: picture message and maybe like you could be a little

475
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: calmer and do specific adjustments that you were already talking

476
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: about out on the field. But I think a quote

477
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: unquote adjustment in football in the NFL in college is

478
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: like a fluid thing throughout the game after the first

479
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: series or two. So I don't think he's acting like

480
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: they don't adjust. They just don't adjust, like they don't

481
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: talk about they just run the game plan and they

482
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: go into halftime and they either throw away the game

483
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: plan or adjust the game plan. Where I think he

484
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: would tell you is like it's just a constant thing,

485
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: start to finish in the game. In theory, I feel

486
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: like the conversation around CJ is always he's been a

487
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: shell of himself since the rookie year. Since I'm a

488
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: Texans fan, I watch every snap and give my biased opinion,

489
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: but he's extremely accurate and the Chiefs game shows he

490
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: has a lot of playmaking ability. When Caleb Williams has

491
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: one good half against the Packers, the narratives look how

492
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: talented he is, And the narrative around CJ is when

493
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: will we see rookie CJ again? Just curious your thoughts.

494
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: I think Chief's game was a pretty big moment for

495
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: the guy I think he was. That was impressive, That

496
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, let's win this division, baby, let's do it.

497
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: I have a parlay, a pretty aggressive one with Houston,

498
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: with Denver, who's going to do it? With the Packers

499
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: who still can do it? With Seattle which was five

500
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: to one, that still can do it, And my parlays

501
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: to win the division was Houston, Denver, Green Bay, Tampa,

502
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: Seattle fifty dollars to pay ten k. Also have one

503
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: I made middle of the season with Denver, New England,

504
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Seattle and Pittsburgh. That's one hundred bucks to pay seven k.

505
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: So let's see. I'm a Houston Texans fan and I

506
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: have Denver Green Bay eighty three to one with a

507
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: hundred bucks to pay eighty four hundred dollars to make

508
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So that's who I'm rooting for right now.

509
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: That's who I'm rooting for. In Houston. I was dead.

510
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: We were all dead until we're not. Now. We're gonna

511
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: need Jacksonville to lose a game, and you look at

512
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: our schedule, they might not. Do you think the College

513
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: Football Committee are having nightmares of Tulane and James Madison

514
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: actually winning. No, I think that's I would say they have. No,

515
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: They're not worried those teams are both getting their ass

516
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: kicked in the first round. I'm a Ravens fan, so

517
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: I need your opinion. We love to put blame on Lamar,

518
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: We love to put it on the players. We love

519
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: to blame the coordinators. When are we gonna hold John

520
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Harbaugh accountable. I know he's a good coach, but we

521
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: are very, very poorly coached team, and it starts with him,

522
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: like nobody ever calls him out. I feel like we

523
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: could bring in a Brian Flores or Clint Kobiak and

524
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: they'll turn the team completely around. Plus that a line

525
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: of ours is very bad, but he keeps saying they're

526
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: doing a good job. I mean, it's I think with

527
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: drys fans nuts and I see it because I'm pretty

528
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: in deep with Niner blogs and stuff falling on social

529
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: media is when everyone agrees like the O line's terrible,

530
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: or like a couple offensive linemen are bad. I remember

531
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: everyone thought the forty nine Ers center sucked the last

532
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: couple of years, and then their own line coach said

533
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: he was like one of their highest graded guys in

534
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: the league. It's like, are we are we all idiots?

535
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: In The answer is sometimes yes and sometimes like they

536
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: can be biased, I think they also need to build

537
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: up their players. They're in the business of like making

538
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: these guys believe they're actually better than they are. But

539
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: if John misses the playoffs, it's it'll get louder, It'll

540
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: get louder for sure. I think you know the reason

541
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: Tomlin's under more. He hasn't won a playoff game in

542
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: ten years. John Harbaugh was in the AFC Championship Game

543
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: two years ago, hosting it. He's been the number one

544
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: seed multiple times on the last couple of years, so

545
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: I think that that's why he gets treated a little

546
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: bit differently. Giants have the number one overall pick currently.

547
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: If that stands, do you think they trade back and

548
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: get a haul. I think they would definitely trade out

549
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: of it now a hall. You know, it depends how

550
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: many people are bidding for it, but it would at

551
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: this point in time. If you're a Giants fan, you

552
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: might as well who's out and get that number one pick,

553
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: because if Fernando comes out, let's see right now, if

554
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: you go to the league standing, they would be one,

555
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: the Titans being two, which is good for you too,

556
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: Like you want the Titans to keep losing. So teams

557
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: like the Raiders, the Browns, the Cardinals, the Jets getting

558
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: a bidding war. I think the best case scenario I

559
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: see with my wife in real estate, you get a

560
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: couple of people that want the house and that house goes.

561
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: I was on the market for a million, all of

562
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: a sudden it sells for one point two and he

563
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: just takes two. Baby, But if you just get one,

564
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: luckily there's not just one, and you're just better off

565
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: at this point losing out. Assuming that Fernando is viewed

566
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: as the number one or or Dante more, I think

567
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: the best case scenario for the Giants is only one

568
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 1: of those two guys comes out, and so it's just

569
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: them versus a group of guys that aren't even viewed

570
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: as first round picks. So if you want to get

571
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you got to come up and get him.

572
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: If there's multiple guys, then the it's like multiple homes

573
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: on the block. The negotiating power isn't quite the same.

574
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: I think that's what you got a roof for. If

575
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: you're a Giants fan, only one quote unquote star quarterback

576
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: comes out. Pretty sure, Fernando doesn't have a choice. But

577
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: let me what's his eligibility. I just I don't know why,

578
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: I've just been talking about him like a senior. But

579
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: so he's his first year at Cal, he red shirted.

580
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, technically he could come back to Indiana twenty two.

581
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: He red shirted twenty three, played twenty four. Obviously he's

582
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: full time starter at col and then this year got

583
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: his numbers. He has more touchdowns this year at Indiana

584
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: thirty three than he did the last two years combined

585
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: to started at Cow twenty. Now, granted he only played

586
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: he started nineteen games. He's played thirteen this year. But

587
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: I would say, like I said, I would say Fernando

588
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: is going to be the top pick in the draft.

589
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: With Jalen Hurts regressing, it seems like every game how

590
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: long until the Eagles move on to Tanner McKee. Clearly

591
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: they like McKee and he's shown some flashes during preseason games.

592
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: There's one little problem when it comes to Jalen Hurts,

593
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: and it's called this thing called a contract. Now, I'm

594
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: not trying to bury him off a weird season in

595
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: these weird games, but Jalen Hurts is what you would

596
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: call in the mob, a made man. He's basically these

597
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: next couple of years, he's going to be on the team.

598
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: So I would say, under no circumstance, even if they

599
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: lose out and he keeps playing shitty, he's on the team.

600
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty six. He is one hundred percent the

601
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: quarterback at least next year. Now, Philly their cutthroat as

602
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: any organization, and how he proved it with Carson Wentz. Now,

603
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: this guy won you the super Bowl, right, I mean

604
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: he didn't just win the Super Bowl, but he was

605
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. You know, it was easier on the

606
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: Wents thing. It's like, well, he didn't even win it

607
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: folds did. I do think he's a little bit of

608
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: a made man, at least for sure twenty six, especially

609
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: because what are they gonna do this? They're gonna get

610
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: rid of a J. Brown this offseason, so they'll they'll

611
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: get rid of a J. Brown. They'll probably draft a

612
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: guy high and kind of give him a new look offense.

613
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: They'll probably try to improve the offensive line for sure. Actually,

614
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: they're probably more likely draft offensive lineman. Well, I guess

615
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: they could sign him in free agency, but they're expensive

616
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think. I don't know how much money

617
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna have. Tanner McKee. What year is he in? Three?

618
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: So he is? He was drafted in twenty three, so

619
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: this his third year in the league. I mean, he'll

620
00:34:54,680 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: be on the team next year. Who are the dark

621
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: horse super Bowl contenders? I got the Texans of the Niners.

622
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Texans case easy defense against mediogre AFC. The Niners case

623
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: would be having the best coaching staff in the Shanahan era.

624
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: He's had some great ones, but Kyle finally gave up

625
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: and decided specially the teams matter Kyle and Sala, and

626
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Kyle frequently start drives in favorable positions. I do think

627
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: from a personnel staff or standpoint, it would be really

628
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: difficult if they're a wild card team to win three

629
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: games with that defense. Their margin for ERA on offense

630
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: would be slim to none. They'd have to be the

631
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: best offense in the playoffs to have a chance to

632
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: make a Super Bowl run because defensively, like listen, they

633
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: play really hard and they're well schemed, they do not

634
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: have the bodies. Their best pass rusher by a mile

635
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: is is Hough, who is a situational pass rusher that

636
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: they're having to play a lot more. Who's a good

637
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher. I mean he'd be really good if they

638
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: had Bosa and Michael Williams. I mean he'd be good

639
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: for like a sack of game. But now it's like

640
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: you just kind of know if you can just kind

641
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: of double team him who else is beating you. They

642
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: What both those two teams have is you'd want no

643
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: part of either one in a playoff game, and you

644
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: would want no part of either one in that first

645
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: round because in that first round, let's face it, like

646
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: you just won your division, unless you're the Bucks or

647
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Like if they're the three seed and you're

648
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: the Eagles and you're like eleven and six and you're

649
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: playing the forty nine Ers who are twelve and five,

650
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, they got some issues, but they ain't

651
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna be scared of playing you, and all the pressure

652
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: is going to be on you, and that crowd will

653
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: turn on you. If you're the Texans and you're playing

654
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots and Broncos and some order probably

655
00:36:53,719 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: one two, then they don't probably be the Jags or

656
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: the Texans. I guess it could just be Texans Jacks.

657
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: If you're the Jags, you don't want you. You'd rather

658
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: play the Chargers than the than the Texans in that game.

659
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I think, how fucked are the Colts? I heard they're

660
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: trying to call Philip Rivers. At what point you might

661
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: as well try Nikole Jokic to be your quarterback. Where

662
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 1: do the Colts go from here? Yeah, man, they're in trouble.

663
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the just you just find yourself in some

664
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: of these situations once upon a time where you just

665
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: have some injuries. I mean, there's a famous story I

666
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: think in like two thousand and two that Donovan McNabb

667
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: got hurt and Andy Reid called Trey aigman and he

668
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: was calling games and he thought about it, but he

669
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: ended up saying no. But sometimes you find yourselves in

670
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: these situations where you're just completely desperate. And if you

671
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: were five and eight, you would just sign some dude

672
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: off practice squad and you wouldn't even care. But when

673
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: you're eight and five, you're like, if we can just

674
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: get to ten and seven, you know, we can be

675
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. We could still win this division, right,

676
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: And that's what they're thinking. And the answer is, actually,

677
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: you can't. You guys are too close to the sun.

678
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: My mother could tell you you're screwed. It sucks, but

679
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: you're screwed. But that's not how you think when you're

680
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: in a team, when you're in the environment, you can't

681
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: tell your players that it just sucks. If you're them,

682
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: I don't really care I'm rooting for Houston. I have

683
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: a question, with honestly no agenda at all, four to bag,

684
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 1: if you could to informally pull some of your NFL

685
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: exec connections. I think that would be wonderful. This guy

686
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: wants me to grind out here, start sending some text messages.

687
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: If this past year's NFL draft was conducted all over again,

688
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: in which round do most people feel Shadore would be

689
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: selected this time around? Sincerely curious? I would say watching

690
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: him play, he shouldn't have been a fifth rounder one

691
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: to begin with, right, but he did that to himself

692
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: by saying, do not draft me. All these the Ravens

693
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: and the he go these teams were gonna draft him

694
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, he said, no, I think one

695
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: if you redo it, he goes on the second day,

696
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: where on the second day it's hard to get you know,

697
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: if I pulled these guys, A huge part of the

698
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: draft is like what's happening leading up to the draft.

699
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: So if you know now, he'd just be cool with

700
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: coming to your team. Yeah, I mean, I think he

701
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: could go somewhere between like middle of the second round

702
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: and middle of the third round, depending on your quarterback needs. Uh,

703
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: depending on who your quarterback is, right, if you if

704
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: you have an established starter, you know, it's you got

705
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: to feel, you know, like the Chiefs, they wouldn't waste

706
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: to pick, but like you don't have to if you

707
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: take him in the second round. But that was the

708
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: whole thing. Shed Or didn't want to go to Lamar

709
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: Jackson because he would never play, even though ironically he

710
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: would have because Lamar missed games this year, so he

711
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: should have gone last year based on the talent. I

712
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: thought on the second day, Dylan Gabriel going in the

713
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: third round is insane. So you know, historically we've seen

714
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Russell Wilson went in the third round.

715
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott went in the fourth. But part of the

716
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: reason he fell he's got a DUI right before the draft.

717
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 1: Cousins the fourth. Now it's almost like saying, well, yeah,

718
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: that home used to cost four hundred grand, it costs

719
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars. Now there's quarterback inflation. It's

720
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: like the Dak Prescott's, the Cousins, those guys would never

721
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: go that late now, right, they would go somewhere between

722
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: pick twenty and fifty. That's probably where Shidor goes. It's

723
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: like you're an investment banking, high finance guy meets cooler

724
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: version of Mike Mayock. That's quite the fucking compliment. I

725
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: like that question for you, though, What was the moment

726
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: you realized you weren't scouting, you weren't for the scouting

727
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: personnel game, and why did you decide to stick it

728
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: out and stay in the sports media space given all

729
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: the adversity from the sector and the sport in the

730
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: media industry. I uh, you know, I got relieved in

731
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: my duties. My contract ended. It just didn't get extended

732
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: by the Eagles in twenty thirteen after the draft, So

733
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: that's like, you know, may one. I started doing radio

734
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: stuff by that summer and into the fall. And when

735
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: I started doing that, you know, in football, I could

736
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: love a guy and we could sign them, but it's

737
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: not like I get a bonus off that you get like,

738
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: good job and you just move on, right, And part

739
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: of it was you get in the radio, You're like, God,

740
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing some shows like we're rating really well, getting

741
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: a lot of positive feedback, and it kind of hit

742
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: me that I control my own destiny doing this right,

743
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: Like even at the time, I didn't have a radio

744
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: show or whatever. I was going on as a guest,

745
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: but I remember the boss who had come from ESPN,

746
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: was like, your segment's rate really well, and it's like

747
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: I had control. Now again, I didn't control the ratings,

748
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: but luckily people enjoyed listening to me part of it.

749
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: They probably never I was kind of a unique voice

750
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: at the time, and I was unique because I was

751
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: from you know, I was doing local Bayry radio, Like

752
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm from northern California, so it's like I grew up

753
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: rooting for these teams. It was. It was a pretty

754
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: easy landing spot for me in terms of the knowledge

755
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: of what I was talking about. And I just remember thinking,

756
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: like I control my own destiny here. It's almost like

757
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: when you hear an entrepreneur guy who'd worked at a

758
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: corporate job and goes The thing I wanted was no

759
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: longer I want to do control. I wanted to have

760
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: control of where I went win or loose. And once

761
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: I started doing this, I realized, like, as you do

762
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: it longer, like anything, there are things out of your control.

763
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: But I control way more of doing this than I

764
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: did as the scouting world, right, I mean a huge

765
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: part of say this all the time, Tim Skipper is

766
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: I've been around Andy freaking Read. He is one of

767
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: the best coaches I've ever been around. He big time

768
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: and he just had He just took the cow Paly job.

769
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: And you see some of these guys that end up

770
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: in like Auburn or Urban. You know Ryan Day at

771
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State. It's all about getting hitched with the right guy.

772
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, when his career was taken off,

773
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: he got on with Jim mcawain. Jim mcawayan went to Florida.

774
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: He was Jim mcawaan's assistant head coach at Florida. They

775
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: were making the SEC championship game and they got fired.

776
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: I mean he was if it had gone a little

777
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: bit better, maybe he's an SEC head coach. So much

778
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: stuff as coaching or scouting. They're probably great scouts on

779
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, on the Raiders wherever. But in this business,

780
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm essentially a salesman for myself. I'm selling John Middlecoff's

781
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: the products. It's impossible to get any easier than go well,

782
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: do I believe in what I'm selling. I'm literally selling

783
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: my own body, not technically my body, you know, unless

784
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: for the right price, but just like me, and it

785
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: hit me kind of early on doing that that I

786
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: was like, God, I'm pretty good at this. And I

787
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: remember the feedback it really kind of clicked in. They're like, god,

788
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of in the driver's seat. I'm no longer

789
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: in the backseat, right, you know, you see what the

790
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: eagles like guy gets fired all of a sudden, chip

791
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: comes in a bunch of new people that you don't

792
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: really know, and it's like where are you in? Are

793
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: you out? It's like, if I do a good job

794
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: doing this, and you know, over the years, I feel

795
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: like I've got a pretty good idea of what I'm doing,

796
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm in complete control of what happens to you know,

797
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: for the consumer to enjoy it or not right. And

798
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: then you just get with the right people, the right

799
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: infrastructure or the sales, the financial aspect, the distribution aspect.

800
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: Obviously you got to be smart about that, and I've

801
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: been lucky. The relationship with Colin is definitely in this

802
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: career of mine is the most important thing that's ever

803
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: happened to me. Why I would say that's too. The

804
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: guy that officiated my wedding, guy Haveberman, got me into

805
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: the business in the Bay Area, had me on. He's

806
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: the reason that it took off. Then we had a

807
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: radio show and we did a podcast without that starting point,

808
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: who knows, who knows? I mean that was it all

809
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: got started there, and that was integral. It doesn't exist

810
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: without me getting my foot in the door. And I

811
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: got my foot in the door because of him. And

812
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: then we had a radio show that did well, but

813
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: then that thing got canceled. Won't start pissing people off, Well,

814
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: somehow I pissed people off, even though he was kind

815
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: of saying the same things too. But you know, he's

816
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: probably a little nicer about it. And the Raiders held

817
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: it against me more. But it is what it is,

818
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: all in good fun, well not really at the time.

819
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: I was pissed, but so were they doing a the

820
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: one thing in the radio business or any of Like

821
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: I see this with ESPN where you know the the

822
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: analysts they get they love to push back, like the

823
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: SEC is not telling us what to say when you're

824
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: in business with someone, regardless at that level. No different

825
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: with radio and business with the Yankees or the Lakers,

826
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: even if you're paying the Yankees or the Lakers to

827
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: have their product. What they say really matters because they're

828
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 1: really important to your business model. And there are one

829
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: pressures of like you know they in this in this

830
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: line of work, they always say, don't get personal. Well,

831
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: that's kind of entertaining to do that. You know, now,

832
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: if you're just getting personal twenty four seven, three sixty five,

833
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: you don't even know the guy. It's like you're kind

834
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: of a douche. Like I often say, like, if I

835
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: don't know the guy, this isn't personal. I don't know

836
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: the human. But I can also just I don't have

837
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: to know you, do not like you or think you stink, right,

838
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 1: But you got to be very careful when you're in business.

839
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: And I saw it forever with the big radio station

840
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. They had the canb Are, they

841
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: had the San Franco Giants, and the giants got very

842
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: very They get very sensitive about what you say. It's like, guys,

843
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: you've lost twenty twenty the last twenty five games, what

844
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? Three a fucking party? Send

845
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: you guys cookies. I mean, it's it's it's a very

846
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: difficult business to do if you are connected with leagues,

847
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: because like what if you truly believe you're sitting up

848
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: there like I don't think Alabama's that good. Like what

849
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: if you believe that, but you're in business with the SEC,

850
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: like they're not gonna watch you to say that. It's like, yeah,

851
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: I think I think Bama sucks. I don't think Bama

852
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: is the top fifteen team right now. I don't know

853
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: if you're hearing many people say that, but there has

854
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: to be some people that believe that, right No. Different

855
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: at Fox, like they take care of the Big Ten,

856
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't you never hear any negative Ryan Day stuff.

857
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: It's like it's why they kind of get very sensitive

858
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: with Portnoy. Now portan NOI i'd argue. I mean it's

859
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: like even my wife says, God, he's always talking about

860
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and like it's kind of this thing. But

861
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: I do get if you're Fox, like Ohio State, if

862
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: they had to choose the entire Big Ten, right, all

863
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: the teams, not Ohio State or just Ohio State and

864
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: lose all the teams, they would choose Ohio State. That's

865
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: how powerful that brand is. In Michigan and Oregon and

866
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: USC are huge, but Ohio State is that powerful that

867
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: they're essentially like a big NFL team, and you know,

868
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: you just gotta be careful what you say. Now, I

869
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: do believe that like Klatt likes these guys and stuff,

870
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: but you know, I've heard him be really negative on

871
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: the SEC like he's not. He wouldn't throw those type

872
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: flames at Lincoln Riley. He wouldn't throw those type flames

873
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: that you know, Matt rule. You know, it's just part

874
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: of the thing. And one thing I realized in getting

875
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: in the podcast business, like I can say whatever I

876
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 1: want about teams. Again, I'm just saying what I think anyway.

877
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: But if we had a partnership with you know, Major

878
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,959
Speaker 1: League Baseball and Rob Manfred, we would it would be hard,

879
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: right and I don't even talk baseball, But my point

880
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: is you just wouldn't just be shitting on them constantly.

881
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: They would be pissed. That happened with ESPN. That was

882
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: the issue at the end with ESPN of like you

883
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: guys don't even talk about us, and when you do,

884
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: it's like negative. So I think these things get very complicated,

885
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: and it's easiest to just be kind of independent and

886
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: say whatever you want because it's easy to be authentic.

887
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: And that's what resonates with the most people. I don't

888
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: know why that was so long winded and why I

889
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: talked about it for so long, but I appreciate my

890
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: You guys. Listen to my Ted Talk audios. The volume
