Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast op Dude for a one

00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: year roubid deal with a guaranteed bang. Welcome from the

Speaker 1: Chris wa all sorts of issues from the Chris Westling

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: podcast studio. Welcome to Around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas,

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: coming to you from a room filled with some heroes,

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Mark Secli, Greg Rosenthal, and I only now just realized

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Colleen off the hook. I like doing the intro where

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: you kicked the door in really good content, and yet

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: I forgot this time. So congratulations Colleen Wolf to my right,

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: thank you. This is a huge moment for me. I

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: didn't get kicked out of the studio after I set

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: myself up only to have to come back in and

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: do a whole thing. And uh, it's been it's been

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rough start with the timer

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: going uh right here off the show. You do have

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: an offseason vibe about they'll quite quite great. I feel great.

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: It's the summer. It's summer, Connie, and we are thriving.

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: We're doing a lot of great stuff and having a

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: really good time. And yeah, I wish that the summer

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: never ended. And then the summer when you're saying we

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: is it the Royal We what is It's Colleen and Connie.

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: We're both working in concert. Like there's got ganzas in

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: the mix there as like that was the question in

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: the picture. And John and Blitzen and Dasher and the

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: whole gang. Those are the dogs. What is Gonza's vibe

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: in the current day? So he just got a haircut,

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: so he is feeling great once the barber got a fade?

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Getting ready for vacation? Where is Ghani and Gonza going

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: this summer? We're going to Greece and Cyprus. Really yeah,

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: well that we have a group of like thirty Greeks

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: that are going to Greece, So I'm sure what could

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: go wrong? Really? Nothing? Wow, that sounds like a lot

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: of fun. Right now. You're in the what Mark refers

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: to is the cell, the prison cell, the studio? What's up? Mark?

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: How are you? Why would I? I have never called

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: it that. I am proud of this studio. You do

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: seem strangely nervous though about this particular show. I think

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: we've probably done about podcasts, most of them in person,

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: many where we're kind of flying by the seat of

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: our pants, and yet this one it has you tense

41
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: on June. We will get into why. But I was

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: told minutes before we kicked off the episode that they're

43
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: you know a certain amount of planning goes into these things,

44
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: some more than others, right, and that if um my

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: messaging is usurped by someone before I go and do

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: my turn, which will you'll see how that works, that

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: have come up with something out of thin air. I

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: just got that message now, So now I'm feeling a

49
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: little I knew you because Collie and I come from

50
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: the sort of the family of preparation, maybe over preparation,

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: and so when you're told like just has taken improv classes,

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: So I think Colleen's gonna be okay, and I believe you.

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: Today we are doing the glossary of NFL terms for

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: the off season A through Z. We divted, we divvy

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: it up the alphabet and yes, obviously because we don't

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: talk about what we're going to talk about beforehand. That's

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: for all those bogus TV shows that you watch. Never

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: on this network, of course, but on so many other

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: television shows. They have these pre production meetings and they

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: are just filled with exact, beat by beat takes of

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: what I'm going to talk about here's my take, here's

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: your take, and then there's no there's no mix ups.

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, everything's covered, no snore. We are going live here,

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: and if someone hits on your topic that you have

65
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: later in the alphabet, that's it. You gotta pivot, baby,

66
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: and you've gotta be quick on your feet. So I

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: understand you're a preparation. Guys gonna melt down, and I

68
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: absolutely respect how you go about your process for this program,

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: but only if it doesn't get in the way of

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: his process. Well, that's that's also accurate. Well, I believe

71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: it's very important to let the tugboat take us where

72
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: we need to get. So I mean no disrespect by that,

73
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: but just follow the tug boat and it's gonna be fine.

74
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: I do trust the tug boat. So so far we

75
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: have Colleen going, what is the Royal We is that

76
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: second person? I don't even know what that is? And

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: then uh Dan going third person. This side of the

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: desk is really on the summer. It's a summer of

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: the side of the alright, So we're going a through

80
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: z hopefully and under three hours. That was another source

81
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: of consternation for Mark, the idea that this show might

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: go a little bit long. We're gonna try to keep

83
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: it feel like we're tasting certain pictures that not I

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: just I think we were told by our by Justin,

85
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: our producer, the Grave Digger, that last year when we

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: did this, it did stretch on um to an ordinamate

87
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: amount of minutes. And are we are we concerned with

88
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: maybe tightening it up just a little bit or being

89
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: to keep something, to keep it and we'll pull back

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: the curtain in the tugboats Captain Chamber. And when there

91
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: was initially a new segment on today's episode, I said, no,

92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: let's kill that. I love streamline it a little bit.

93
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: I love what you did. It's tightened the show, dude you.

94
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not coming from a place of critiquing

95
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: you or your leadership. And I'm not critiquing you. I

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: was just stating simply what was happening before we started

97
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: rolling today, A sense of anxiety emanating from you. I mean,

98
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: I it wasn't hidden. I told you, that's not how

99
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: I like to do this particular show. Let's see what happens.

100
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm not critiquing you. Is a lot like no disrespect,

101
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: but because you are you are it is complete critique

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: and disrespect mixed together. It's going to be a great episode.

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: I can feel it. So let's get it going. Grave Digger. Yeah,

104
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: I guess, try to keep us on on task, but

105
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: really don't. Just luck with that. Yeah, let's just roll

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: through it. I'll get us going with the letter A.

107
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: And again this is I know some people like to

108
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: um listen to every episode during the off season, our

109
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: favorite listeners. Some football fans disconnect a little bit and

110
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: then they jump back in people. Yes, um, So if

111
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: you are one of those people and you happen to

112
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: see this in our social media feed, uh and click

113
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: in perfect, perfect decision, because this is going to give

114
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: you a general idea of where we are in the NFL.

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: What you need to know is training camp approaches, just

116
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: the general vibe of what's going on in our league.

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: So let's get into it. It starts with A and

118
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: it starts with a man who's one of my favorite

119
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: players in the history of the NFL and my time

120
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: watching our league. Um, A man that some people call

121
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: fits Magic, but I prefer his original name, the Amish Rifle.

122
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: Remember that Greg would say the real ones. No, I'd

123
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: say that I don't remember that. I put that into

124
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: a number of early NFL dot com story Do we

125
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: have a fitzmagic clip or amish wife Fitzpatrick touchdown my sick, Yes,

126
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: the famous Ryan Fitzpatrick second touchdown catch. I can't say

127
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: enough about the way right stay today. He stayed in

128
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: there taking heat all day with the hits he's taken. Well,

129
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: when you can get we're still play about eleven oh

130
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: seven this morning. I told Graves agger, hey, it'll be

131
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: good to throw to a great like call of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

132
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: Now that's not a big window to dig up the call.

133
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: So the fact that we ended up with Trent Green

134
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: partially on tugboat as well, But yeah, we got it

135
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: one week seventeen nineteen, Brady's last regular season game as

136
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: a Patriot, last second touchdown. Also, that's a fair point.

137
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: It might be the last took us in the shallow water.

138
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: That was the great the last great moment of his

139
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: career that you could have gone. It wasn't well called.

140
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: They didn't even hardly mention the face masks, So I

141
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: was like, that was the player I looked. But the

142
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: call did not resonate with anyone here or probably any

143
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: of the listeners anyway. So Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Amish rival

144
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: fits magic. I mean, he's not Amish if he uses electricity,

145
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: which we know he does, but I get where they're right.

146
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: It was a bit out of Harvard, of course. Played

147
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: for nine teams across seventeen seasons. He announced his retirement

148
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Such a popular player and a productive player

149
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: who seemed to get better in the talent of his career.

150
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Thirty nine years old, he suffered a bad hip injury

151
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: in the second quarter of the Washington Football teams season

152
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: opening loss to the Chargers in September. Had to have surgery. So, unfortunately, Connie,

153
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: that's how his career ended. But it was almost fitting

154
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: because he was kind of a fearless dude. He was

155
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: never the fastest guy, the strongest guy. Uh. He didn't

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: fit the profile of his starting quarterback in our league today,

157
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: and yet he was fearless. Uh. And he was a

158
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch fearless, and he had this

159
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: personality that everyone was attracted to, whether it was his

160
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: teammates or us the media. I always loved him so

161
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: much on Thursday Night football because he constantly gave us

162
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: a good moment, whether it was post game, whether it

163
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: was in the game when I forget what year that was,

164
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: when he came out with the Hawaiian shirt on, unbuttoned

165
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: all the way with his chest hair hanging out, and

166
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: he's like, honey, I'll be home, Like stay up and

167
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: wait for me. He was just the best. It's because

168
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: they were going to bang. That's that's right. They have

169
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: a lot of children, just like there's some people who

170
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: aren't as good reading between the lines. I was trying

171
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: to know you did a nice job to the crude

172
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: manner in which you I was uncomfortable with the whole thing, greag,

173
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: but go on, I love how like for like he was.

174
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: He came in I'll always remember as a Mike Mart's

175
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: greatest show on turf in its later days, like seventh

176
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: round pick and immediately was like a fantasy guy who

177
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: threw a lot of yards in that first season as

178
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: like a seventh round rookie. And you said, you mentioned

179
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Dan how he sort of got better and better throughout

180
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: his career, and that's true. But he did get that

181
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: pay day back in eleven like for the bill when

182
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: he got to when he got the big contract, and

183
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: then he led the league in interceptions that year, like

184
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: it was midway through the year, but he was always

185
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: going for and I think there's a lesson uh there

186
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: for some backups and some maybe like medium talent guys

187
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: that like, especially at quarterback, you're better off playing like

188
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: a Brett five or Ryan Fitzpatrick and going for it

189
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have some highs and then you're gonna

190
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: get contracts based on those highs if you just play

191
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: it safe, which he never did. He led the league

192
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: in yards per attempt in eighteen as a member of

193
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, which is an era. I feel like people

194
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: forget about with Fitzpatrick. Well that but that Bucks period

195
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: I think was a pivot point to you where for me,

196
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is someone who just became more and more

197
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: comfortable in his own skin as his career went and on,

198
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: more enjoyable, more at ease, more filled with joy. I

199
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: thought he got better looking as his career went on,

200
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: Like if you look at him early, he just became

201
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: like he became more and more Ryan Fitzpatrick ESK and

202
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: I yes, I enjoyed the entire journey. Two thousand fifteen

203
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: season with the Jets was also a perfect snapshot into

204
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: his career because he put that team on a magic

205
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: carpet ride to get got them to ten and five

206
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: on the doorstep of the playoffs, and then through three

207
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: interceptions in the last game of the season against a

208
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: bad Bills team to keep the Jets out of the playoffs.

209
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: And like that was kind of him, Like you you

210
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: lived with all those like daring throws he would make

211
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: and when they went well, and when he got hot,

212
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: he would be hot as a pistol and be like,

213
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: this guy is amazing. But then he could like flip

214
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: it and all of a sudden he would be a

215
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: guy that turnovers over and over. Where are we on

216
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: the on the clocks there? Just let me known here

217
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: we're one letter through or so twelve times twenty six.

218
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: That's that county the intro. But we've been on a

219
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Three in twelve minutes. Yeah, so I

220
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: do believe it will be longer than Fitzpatrick deserves the

221
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: respect mark. So well, we're gonna get you out of

222
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: here as soon as possible. But Mr, you enjoyed broadcasting

223
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: with you. But I'm really just under sixty seven minutes. Well, yeah,

224
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm with myself Also I get it, all right, okay Fitzpatrick,

225
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: and I guess this means he's going to Amazon if

226
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: he retired, right or maybe not. Everyone is doing that.

227
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: You've got probably inside information, we don't, but that was good.

228
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: It's it's been mentioned that he's he's playked with Amazon

229
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: and he will be you know, got it? Pivot. This

230
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: came in a great text. It hasn't even been which

231
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: would you like. I'm just playing along and I didn't

232
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: know if Colleen wanted to share more about what she

233
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: had as a scoop potentially scoop just annecting dots. All right, well,

234
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: there you go, and I bet he'll be good. Aheah,

235
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Be is for blitz In. Yeah,

236
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: that's the name of my dog. But also it's what

237
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: the Giants would like to do next season. A lot

238
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: of a departure completely from what they did the previous

239
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: season with Patrick Graham, a more conservative approach he had.

240
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they have the personality to

241
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: pull it off all of the blitz in that they

242
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: want to do, especially without Dabrill Peppers we know, don

243
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: wink Martindale. I don't know what to do with this. Name,

244
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: because do I just call him wink Mark? All right?

245
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: It just feels like maybe to do that's okay if

246
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: that well, Colleen is basically saying she's considering declining, yeah,

247
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: the option, and that's fine. I think that's respectable. It

248
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: is his parents given name. I think, well, if everybody

249
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: else is doing it, I think I have to do it.

250
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: So wink is going to go to work a train

251
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: in camp a lot of different Uh new his vision

252
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: that he has here because last year with the Ravens,

253
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: the secondary was completely ravaged and he couldn't really do

254
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: what he wanted to do. So we'll see if they

255
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: do a lot of blitz in next year, Buddy cavan Thibodeaux.

256
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see if he makes an instant difference

257
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: on this defense. Now, Connie, you famously hate the giants.

258
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean you're a Philadelphia family. You guys are um

259
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: and you're passionate. Uh are you concerned about the giants

260
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: at all? No, they're always on the radar because they're

261
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: right there in the division, but not concerned. But it's

262
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of change, some brash confidence from you, just

263
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: a flat out no, men do not exist in your defense.

264
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: Looks terrible. On paper, it looks like one of the

265
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: worst defense in the league. Yeah, they added Cavan Thibodeau.

266
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: That that's nice. I like when you add a guy

267
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: like Link Martindale though to a defense that doesn't have

268
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: as much talent. It's kind of like college football helps.

269
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: You need a little scheme craziness, Like that's the type

270
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: a team that you want to Wink Martindale. You might

271
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: not want him with the Ravens anymore. They kind of

272
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: didn't after after last year. It was a mutual parting

273
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: of ways, but he was probably getting the boot. But

274
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: I think he's someone that can cook up pressure because

275
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: in the back end, their secondary on paper, I would

276
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: say is among the worst in the NFL. Well, and

277
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,359
Speaker 1: their biggest move at the off season was cutting James Bradberry,

278
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: who weeks later winds up with the Eagles. That's not

279
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: how you operated could see him working though for him,

280
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Like he has a lot of experience wink Martindale and

281
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: cooking up some pressure. He has Tibodo, he has Leonard Williams.

282
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: It's like they're not they're not terrible, but on the

283
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: back end it looks pretty rough. My little behind the

284
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: scenes be behind the scenes. My wife works in the

285
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, and she was speaking to a high ranking

286
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: UH person with a storied um in a storied comedy

287
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: realm of the entertainment business, and they're having a conversation.

288
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: Came up that I worked for this company and we

289
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: do this podcast and she's and the person that my

290
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: wife was conversing with, it was like, Oh, is there

291
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: anybody out there and in the NFL that maybe would

292
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: be interesting on camera? And immediately the one thing my

293
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: wife has listened to on our show was the Cavon

294
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: Thibodeaux interviews because I said, you're going to be interested

295
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: by this guy this a few weeks back, and then

296
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: Emily relaid this to the high ranking entertainment official and

297
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: they're like, WHOA, Okay, I'm putting him on our radar,

298
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: on our list a career builder. Now if they actually

299
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: make that call, I think you should find a way

300
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: to let Cavon Thibodeau know we will. That's where it started,

301
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: because we're we could move from we went from what

302
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: uh not from friends two acquaintances to this is like

303
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: now that's friendship partners potentially commission there too. This is

304
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: a great step before you move on to see about

305
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: the Giants and how bad they were last year. This

306
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: is from Jordan's ronnin Ran from ESPN. The Giants with them.

307
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I know, um be for buddies.

308
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: The Giants were outscored seventy nine nothing in the final

309
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: two minutes of the first half. That's real stuff. They're

310
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna be way more watching on Greg Roman is going

311
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: to make them more. All right for Greg Rosenthal, Brian Dable,

312
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: I always mix up for Bang earlier. They don't look

313
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: like uh see ceremonial. And that's the type of one

314
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: day contract that my guy inconvenient to with Frank Aar

315
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: signed on. Now. Dan had sent me a text about

316
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: a month ago when Gore initially retired. I was in Massachusetts.

317
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: He wanted me to send in like a voicemail message,

318
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: and it was like, no, I don't want him. I mean,

319
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: I'm here, all right. That was a real here's the reveal.

320
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: It's not worth it. It's not going to be that

321
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: great content. Uh And I was like that at some

322
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: point I was sending it. He's probably right, right, That's

323
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. It was just gonna be I was

324
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna be like bang for like NonStop commitment to the

325
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: show issues and Greg's like, now, I'm too busy to

326
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: send it into into it in the mood. Plus, I

327
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: think we could go stitch back many times where we've

328
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: probably half retired, but I don't care. I'm really glad

329
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: that he uh signed back with the forty nine because

330
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: I think him and that team, um, you think of

331
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: them together. And I think back to his rookie season

332
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: when he entered the league coming off of torn a

333
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: c O as a third round pick, and my whole

334
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: thing with that he was a Hall of Famer in

335
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: West and I would argue about this like six years

336
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: ago before he was ever in the top three of

337
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: rushing and now it just seems inevitable he was a

338
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer because his peak was better than people realized.

339
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: He was one of the five best running backs in

340
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: the league immediately he was in All Pro in the

341
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: second season that he was in the league, and he

342
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: is the best running back I've ever seen in my

343
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: entire life at vision, which is just like such an

344
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: important part of a running back, which is he's behind

345
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, he's looking at what it's in

346
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: front of him, and he somehow knows in here. I

347
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: don't know how he does where the hole is going

348
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: to be, seeing steps ahead. Uh. And this was a

349
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: guy people got on him like, oh his wonder Look,

350
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't how. He had a learning disability and he

351
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: was one of the smartest running backs because of that.

352
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: He always knew where the defense was going to be,

353
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: always k exactly where to run. And I'm glad he's

354
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: getting his foot and now he's in the front office

355
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: in San Francis. Yeah, to ruin right now, right now. Though,

356
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned Greg Roman. He was the perfect

357
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: pairing with Greg Roman in that Hardbaugh offense. I mean,

358
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: he was one. He was so fun to watch, highly physical,

359
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: a punisher. Um. I'll never forget one night watching him

360
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: on like a Thursday night football game at Irish Times

361
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: or place, and there was a Seahawks fan in there

362
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: who was they were destroying the Seahawks and this guy

363
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: was just like shouting at the top of his lungs

364
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: because he was alarmed by what the Niners offense was

365
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: doing behind Frank Gore. And I just laughed at that man.

366
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: I giggled at him. I Am always said they didn't

367
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: win that Super Bowl, because people forget he had a

368
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: monster game in the Super Bowl and he is the

369
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: one with a long on that's set up the first

370
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: and goal which ended with that Colin Kaepernick piece that

371
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: will forever call Michael Crabtree not interference, Jimmy Smith forever.

372
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: All right, Mark, are you ready? Yes? D? What letter D? Alright?

373
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: D is for dead presidents just like you have like

374
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: a flash of panic and then you're like, I did

375
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: we get that panic? Side glance for Mark on camera. Okay,

376
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: maybe we can bring that back at some point. I'm

377
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: having a weird day, Okay. D is for dead presidents,

378
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: not aber jfk or George Washington of George Washington even

379
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: existed speculation. But dollars, big bad, green rectangular dollars. D

380
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: is for dropping dollars from the sky. That's what the

381
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: dollars will be doing onto the lawn of Debo the destroyer.

382
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: D is for do it soon, DIAZ for don't f

383
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: this up. DIAZ also for Dan Hands is a truly

384
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: professional broadcaster who I've learned to carry favor with during

385
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: segments of this nature. That was perfect good paybo, keep

386
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: them happy. Yeah, he's he's there, but they expect that

387
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: he will be at the mandatory mini John Lynch basically

388
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: said there is literally no way we're letting him anywhere

389
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: else in San Francisco. You know one thing I've learned

390
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: about John Lynch too, when he's in front of a microphone, uh,

391
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: talking to the media, always the truth all the time.

392
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any chance on another team He's

393
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: not gonna allow debo to going. These guys are professional liars,

394
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: all these dudes. For the most part, it's fair. Remember

395
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: what Pete Carroll said about Russell Wilson like seven days.

396
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: Remember what Mike Rabel said about a Jory's good grave

397
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: during Brabel said that, like, why are you guys making

398
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the j Brown thing a story? It's so obviously not

399
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: a story. Remember grave tickers live Instagram session like seconds

400
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: after he was in his feeling for you, we gave

401
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: him a little past there, all right, E. It's for extension,

402
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: as in the around the NFL agreeing to an extension

403
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: to remain at NFL Media and it's related subsidiaries. Look

404
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: at us. Nobody's going anywhere, but you chose this as

405
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: the song. That's awesome. Turn this up a little bit.

406
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Everybody's got a rise. We definitely have a Price's dog,

407
00:22:50,359 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: billion dollar man. He's staring at the scandal right now.

408
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: I want to be associated with like Brett five has

409
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: been implicated and in stealing money from welfare in the

410
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: state of Mississippi. But it is great moment, This is great.

411
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: It's been such a long ride with the NFL, um, Mark,

412
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: you and I are starting in two thousand ten, Greg

413
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: a couple of years later, the podcast starting up with

414
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: West a year after that, and Um, We've been very fortunate, Um,

415
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: mostly because of a loyal audience that we've built and

416
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: held through the years too to get in a position

417
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: where our conversations with the NFL and other places were

418
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: interesting to us. But at the end of the day,

419
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: it just the NFL came to play and they and

420
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: we felt like this was the best place for us

421
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: moving forward. And I'm really excited, Mark, because like this

422
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: is been a them to us for a long time.

423
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: And the way this the last few months played out stressful,

424
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: some anxiety, some of us more than others. Um. I

425
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: was I was dealing with anxiety behind the scenes about

426
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: how this is all going to play out, But it

427
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: it played out in the end exactly how I think

428
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: it should have for us and for this show. And

429
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: I think the audience will be happy how this all

430
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: plays out as well, I hope so. I mean, the

431
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: audience is a huge part of it. It's been a

432
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: wild journey. And I can think back to UM when

433
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: Dan and I started at the NFL, a different location

434
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: than this one, like a hollowed out sort of death

435
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: star type office that was barely looking like a newsroom

436
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: that Dan and I were working three days a week

437
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: and making essentially what a high school person would be

438
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: making it like a paper boy. Yeah, paper boy essentially,

439
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, throwing papers at someone's driveway in rain or shine.

440
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: And uh, the lockout occurred. And the only reason that

441
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: Dan and I weren't whacked um, because there was a

442
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: lot of people that out let go, was that our

443
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: salaries essentially probably didn't even appear on the payroll, so,

444
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, fortunate. And then Greg arrived in and West

445
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: arrived and Colleen arrived and everyone else. Yeah. I Uh.

446
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes you hear NFL athletes and you know, when they

447
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: sign like a contract, they like that that's often the

448
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: biggest day of their career. It's a big deal to them.

449
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think we need to like deny that

450
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: this is one of the biggest times of our career together,

451
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: Like it really is meaningful that like we've been together

452
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: this long and we really we're close and thinking about

453
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: like what what are we gonna do uh for future?

454
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: And it's like one of those moments, uh you think

455
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: that you just got to appreciate. And you mentioned West

456
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons it's great to be here

457
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: is every show Dan's gonna start it by saying we're

458
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: here in the Chris Wesleyan podcast studio. Now, there was

459
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: a part of me that if we were gonna leave,

460
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: I thought, well, West would actually kind of like that

461
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: that studio is there. And then I don't know if

462
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: he was exactly a loyal company man, but it was.

463
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing. And I'm sure we we all

464
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: thought about this yesterday when we really you know, knew

465
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: that this is what was going to happen. Was you know,

466
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: it is one of the days where you really miss

467
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: West because West came out here, um, and I had

468
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: that relationship with him before Rode a World, and I

469
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: always felt like him and I coming out here together.

470
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: I had been working for the NFL for a year

471
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: before was at least a little bit. I felt responsible,

472
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: like he was taking a chance on this and taking

473
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: a chance on on my word too, and that this

474
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: was all going to work out. And obviously I know

475
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: how like amazingly proud he was about like what we

476
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: did as a podcast, so we all know that that

477
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: came to fruition. But you you wish he would be

478
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: here on a day like this to like really enjoy

479
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: all of it with Kis. And people have different feelings

480
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: about things like this, but you know, I've kind of

481
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: felt like West, wherever he is, UM is aware that

482
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: like this all happened so systematically Um after his passing

483
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: that it changed everything and he would have been very

484
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: proud this for us in for himself, he would have

485
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: been proud. As one of the great things about him

486
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: is I think he appreciated what he did have and

487
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: he was proud of what we had accomplice and he

488
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: would he would be really proud. I think of this

489
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: moment we would finish today, we'd probably go get a

490
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: beer somewhere and talk it out. So yeah, definitely glad,

491
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: congratulations you're here for this too, because you have been

492
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: as big a part of this one of the best

493
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: days for me too, because you thank god you guys

494
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: aren't leaving. I can't deal with any more change selfishly,

495
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: like I can't lose any more people. Nobody is going anywhere,

496
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: And you guys were my first friends when I moved

497
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: across the country and started working here. So this show

498
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: is like so much more to me than just work.

499
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't even feel like work. I would not be

500
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: coming in to do the show during the summer of

501
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: Connie if I didn't actually like being here and sitting

502
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: with you guys and hanging out, because it doesn't feel

503
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: like work ever. And you know that absolutely factored in

504
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: for all of us as well, like the idea that

505
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: we'd be able to keep working with Colleen and Graver

506
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: and everyone behind the glass and Matt Schneider and all

507
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the people behind the scenes that have made this See

508
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: Henry and in the UK, he's leaving us here, but

509
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: he's still in the company and so we're still together

510
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: with him as well, so we're keeping the ship moving. Also,

511
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: just on Friday, got a new company cell phone, and

512
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: so that kind of that steered my decision because it's

513
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: like I have to go turn it back in and

514
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: then another one. Do you keep so? And again, thank you,

515
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you to the listeners, because none of

516
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: this is happening in our lives and our careers. If

517
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: you guys weren't along for the even the lower tier

518
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: ones that skip some of these whatever, they don't hear this,

519
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: that's fine. Whenever you pop in, we'll take it all right.

520
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's what's going on with the show. Good good,

521
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: good news. Let's take a break and continue in our

522
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: three of the Around the NFL Offseason Glass Room. All right,

523
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: let's move, let's roll. Here we go. We got that

524
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: business out of the way. F Colleen, Okay, So I

525
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: wanted to go with French fries, but I just like

526
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out a way to work it in. So

527
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: instead I'm gonna go with fantasy, as in the one

528
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm imagining for Marcus Mariota. Now, I love a redemption story,

529
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: I love a reunion, and this has both with him

530
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: in art with Arthur Smith in Atlanta. After their time

531
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 1: together in Tennessee, they desperately needed to add a wide receiver.

532
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: The Falcons did after losing Calvin Ridley for the year

533
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: and Russell gauge. So they drafted Drake London. That's great.

534
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: They have Kyle Pitts, but guys, the rosters like the

535
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: lightest on talent in the entire league. So this is uh.

536
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: I fear what's to come for them? Another f word,

537
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's going to be I think

538
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: of another word for Falcons fans watching exactly. So it

539
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: is truly just a fantasy. I don't think unveil a

540
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: red helmet throwback uniform. That's early period Dion that makes

541
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: you think of that we can be beautiful. I do

542
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: like him actually, And A. J. Terrell is the one

543
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: that did A J. Terrell, who I really like. It

544
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: was a Pro Bowl quality cornerback. But it does say

545
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: something about the Falcons right now. The A. J. Terrell

546
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: is kind of their guy. They're going to to be

547
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: the face of the franchise. Guy you took one of

548
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna make oh Olamdi you gotta change it, um.

549
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a little concerning. I this is the

550
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: time of year you want to be excited to watch

551
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams surprises. Arthur Smith make this Mariota Uh,

552
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: Drake London Pitts thing, watchable because on paper, Smith essentially

553
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: was part of the reason that Mariotta was bench for

554
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee. So I don't know how long

555
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: the leash will be when you have Desmond Ritter sitting there,

556
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: but Arthur Smith last year, I know, Dan, you disagreed

557
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: a little bit where Greg and I were coming with

558
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons. At times, he coached them up to wins

559
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: they would not have been. That was a three win

560
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: team that they want, Patterson, you want. But that's just

561
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: agree that they were any good. I think, you know,

562
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: maybe we were caught a little bit up in the

563
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: they weren't. They were like the worst they should have

564
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: They easily could have had the number one over I'll pick,

565
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: and they managed to win seven games. That was a

566
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: certain sort of okay. Um, speaking of Seas and their defense,

567
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: we talked about Dion Jones, who was a bit of

568
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: a mystery character. Um, a former star a young star

569
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: for them in their Super Bowl year and what's his deal. Well,

570
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: he's missing the team's offseason workout program after undergoing a

571
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: procedure to fix a shoulder injury. Uh so, well, I

572
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: think they want to dump that salary, right, so that

573
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: is and uh, you know, obviously if he's got shoulder issues,

574
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: never good, especially if you're a tackler of the football.

575
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Let's move on, well the football carrier, sure tackle the football.

576
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: You could jump on a fumble or something, but let's

577
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: keep moving. Greg ge fitting, I know, and you gave

578
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: me the letter G, and I just thought I'm gonna

579
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head here. I'm just going

580
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Greg there it is. Where are the Greg's at these days?

581
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Once a great name and that that would be the

582
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: definition here, like they've always hated the name Gregg, but

583
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: like once a prominent name, a common name, now it's

584
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: fallen totally off the radar, like G is a great

585
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: letter at the very least, like return of the G.

586
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: G unit nothing but a G thing, Like I don't

587
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: even know some of them are famous pop culture references.

588
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: And then you threw in your own nicknames. But I

589
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: also think that's a great nickname. I mean, if nothing else,

590
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: it's a good rap name. Six I'm not a rapper.

591
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: That The point is, unit is such a good nickname,

592
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: G unit, G just G alone is like a nickname.

593
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: Not many letters that works with, but it does. The

594
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: point is we gotta start bringing back the Greg's. We

595
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: have Greg Newsome who's on the Browns, but there's almost

596
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: no Greg's left the Horus. Greg was a great player. Um,

597
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: but I just think after a while I looked, Greg

598
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: is not one of the most the thousand most common

599
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: names right now in the United States. It's not even

600
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: on the list, and so I think it's time to

601
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: start bringing back Greg. Don't you feel like the people

602
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: I've told you how they feel about the concept of

603
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: bringing I mean, if it's not in the top one thousand,

604
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: they've kind of actually not the same way. Pretty much

605
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: my whole life never liked the name. But now when

606
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: I think about the versatility of the like me and

607
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: Greg Williams are kind of the sixtys in the NFL

608
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: sphere with the with the third G on the end.

609
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: We need to we need to pick that up, We

610
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: need to improve on things. I like it. I like

611
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: how it ties into the offseason landscape of the NFL. UM.

612
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: I think I think Greg's fine. I think it's a

613
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 1: fine name. Now, names are cyclical, they fall out right

614
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: of the picture. Mark's not going anywhere. Mark you Well,

615
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: it's like when you know you go to those little

616
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: let's your birth certificate. I want to know that it's

617
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: marked with the safe for sure, the living me of

618
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: the book, Like why would I lie to Edge? Edge

619
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: a little ledge to you. I think it's got a

620
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: French flair to it. Oh that's what old marks of

621
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: French boy. Yeah, well he's really British. I don't know

622
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: he spent his formative British. Colleen is not a very

623
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: popular name. Damnit Check attacked it at one point on Twitter,

624
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: saying it was a weird name. Maybe it's not connected, yeah,

625
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: because it means girl in Gaelic, so it's not very original,

626
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: all right. Would you say that it's not connected to

627
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: the offseason? That's fine. I just wanted to bring it

628
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: back and just just bring it back. I think you're

629
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to do more, though I don't know. Greg

630
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: alson Greg Olsen is a good call that he's right

631
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: now there are Greg's I think that is established. It's

632
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: a tough situation for the grand community right now. So

633
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: dizzy and campaign by who's your worst name? Like who's

634
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: the word? Like for Greg it's Greg Abbott, Like who's

635
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: like the worst Colleen? Who's the worst? Who worst? Justin

636
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about the worst, Dan, Let's get back

637
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: to it. If you are. If you're stumped for your letter,

638
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: you could substitute it with the worst version of your name,

639
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: but that also takes thought. Well, that's I'm just giving

640
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: you options. All right, Let's move on UH to H

641
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: with Mark Cecil. Alright. H is for Hackett first named Nathaniel,

642
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: the rare first year coach who I think will catch

643
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: flak if his team with a new quarterback, do all

644
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: offensive scheme and new defense, if his team doesn't roll

645
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: into the a f C title game on fire. I

646
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: like his cute little crush on Siara, like his past

647
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: exploits as a hip hop instructor. I did everything about

648
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: Mr Hackett's overall vibe, but I am slightly concerned about

649
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: his ability to meet expectations in year one in a hostile,

650
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: rough and tumble a f C West. It's funny you

651
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: used him because I was thinking of using him for

652
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: g Maybe it would have been better for the word garrulous,

653
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: which would be defined and as excessively talkative, especially on

654
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: trivial matters, and that and I don't know if that's

655
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hockett in real life. But I feel like he

656
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: is a guy when he's in front of the microphone.

657
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the way his nerves come out is he just

658
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: keeps talking a little more on things that don't really matter.

659
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely true. Yes, And I love the

660
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: word garrulous. I mean, I think it should be used more.

661
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: I got a really good word coming up to so

662
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: for sharing some like good underrated words like for future letters. Yeah,

663
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: a second, it's a big day for vocabularies everywhere. Yes,

664
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: are we are we? Well? Where are we on the time? Okay?

665
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: That was yes, that was she here because you specifically

666
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: requested I say it on the podcast. A happy birthday

667
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: to Christie Stapleton. She's not even back there right now.

668
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: She went to get a little lunch birthday lunch. We

669
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: did wish her she came in here and we wish Yeah,

670
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: when he's aware. When when we did a show, was

671
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: Mark and I Dan was was gone and I referred

672
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: to like people that just were clearly checked out, not

673
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: paying attention to the show and board by us like

674
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: visibly that was it was Christie. Christie was right, So

675
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: I like her. Randy shows he's behind the glass too.

676
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: He's always paying attention. I consider it more plugged in.

677
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: It's like, if we were better than she would have

678
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: been enthralled. It was our fault, all right, And she

679
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: turns by the way, right now, she's a kid that

680
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: was for me five years away at from taking the

681
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: paper boy job with the NFL, And that didn't happen

682
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: to me until I was thirty six, So it was

683
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: another full decade of lunacy before I think I was

684
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: hosting a golf show. Oh you were, and someone I'm

685
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: not saying who someone got in touch with an official

686
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: on YouTube and put that behind a private wall of

687
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: some kind, so now no one can access. Yeah, did

688
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: you have anything? Did no? Because that requires like a

689
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: lot of effort, way too much effort for me. All Right,

690
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: I and Jay are going to be together. You know why,

691
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Cone Because I got a little peek at your screen

692
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: and we're talking about the same thing. Da. That works

693
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: out because it's the same stuff here. So I then

694
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: this is the word I like in transcendence. That is

695
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: good for those not in the know, you know, those

696
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: who know, No, Greg, you know, you know. It's a

697
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: noun refusal refusal to change one's views or to agree

698
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: about something and Connie, What is Jay like Seattle's off season? Yeah,

699
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: I hate what they did shipping off the star quarterback

700
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: and then they drew lock and ear moths. Gregs, I mean,

701
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: we're wearing things, big things, your hands under the ear,

702
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: the headset. I think that they probably have had the

703
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: worst off season as any team. And I'm with you,

704
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a loaded question considering what's happening this

705
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: off season. But I will say that the refusal to

706
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: change one's views for Pete Carroll, who's seventy one, seventy

707
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: two years old, it's one thing to say, all right,

708
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm done with this Russell Wilson marriage, and and given

709
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: the state of ownership and the sway of having the organization,

710
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: this is my chance to get a clean break. I'm

711
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: actually okay with that. Like, if you think you've seen

712
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: the best of Russell Wilson, you think you could get

713
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: a bounty back form, which they did, maybe not as

714
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: big as some people thought. They would send him to

715
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: Denver start over. But I just don't see the logic. Greg.

716
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: It's the in transcendence of the idea of saying, all right,

717
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: now we're gonna roll with these two just the guys,

718
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: a couple of Jags, and it's like, you're gonna give

719
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: away another year of the team and some expensive players

720
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: in your roster and the remaining prime years of certain guys.

721
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well. Number one, the team building process

722
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: hasn't ended. I'm gonna leave them a possibility that someone

723
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: else will be on their team at some point at quarterback.

724
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: But I would really push back on both of you guys,

725
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: especially Connie saying that they had one of the worst

726
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: off seasons, because I like their off seasonally, Like I

727
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: don't like what they're doing at quarterback, but I think

728
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: if you put Russell Wilson on this team and what

729
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: they've added, I think a lot of people would be

730
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: saying I like this offseason. The two players that they

731
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: added that are veterans in that Russell Wilson trade that

732
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: are going to be starting for them. Shelby Harris and

733
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: Noah are good players at what are now good positions

734
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: for them. You have Will dis Lee as as the

735
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: backup Titan. That's fine. I like their defensive line, like,

736
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: I think they can do somethings Daryl Taylor. They bring

737
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: in Shelby Harris, Uh, they have some young players that

738
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: they like. They bring in Quentin Jefferson, Puna Ford out

739
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: and Robinson uh the secondary things. Okay, I thought then,

740
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: oh so so signing was a great one. Like he

741
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: was the best player on the field in Week eighteen

742
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: in that Chargers Raiders game that was not named Justin Herbert.

743
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: If he hadn't gotten banged up a little bit during

744
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: that game, I think the Chargers might have gone to

745
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I like what they did in the draft.

746
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: I think Kenneth Walker is gonna be good. They draft

747
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: for a running back in the second round with all

748
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: of the other things that they needed to address. When

749
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: you can get running back late, I can live with that. Like,

750
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: I know that's an analytical thing and they had an

751
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: extra pick, But if Kenneth Walker is the beast that

752
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people think he is on that team,

753
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be like like a lot of the

754
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: best running backs in the league our second round picks.

755
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: So like is are the Bengals regretting taking Joe Mixon

756
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: or party that The offensive line I think also has promises.

757
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: What I mean, they did some other things that I

758
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: think gives them a fine but like from a bird's

759
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: eye view, you don't. You're essentially handing in the season.

760
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: If this is what they do at quarterback, you can

761
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: you cannot pitch truelock to us as this we've seen,

762
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: We've seen Drew Luck. We know what he is. I

763
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: mean next yeary with all that, But like teams and

764
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's living in another era, but he's seen like

765
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: teams do okay sometimes with lousy quarterbacks like Mitch Robisk

766
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: he made the playoffs a couple of years ago. They

767
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: could win nine games. But that's why it's a bad offseason,

768
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: because you can make a bunch of moves that make

769
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: the roster better. But when you essentially ignore, you trade

770
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: away a franchise, Hall of Fame level quarterback in his

771
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: prime and then don't have a really a replacement plan

772
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: other than we have a philosophy that we believe will work.

773
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: I struggle to get on board with that, and maybe

774
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: it does work out. But even if like let's say

775
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: everything works out. And also, I know you like Gino

776
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: more than other people, so I'm sure as party Is says, well,

777
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: can maybe work. The high level of Gino would be like,

778
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: you know, he's the twenty third best starter in the

779
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: league like scale, but is okay the whole? Like what's

780
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: the pointing? Like if the best you can do here

781
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: is nine and eight? Maybe, like are you really doing

782
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: what you need to do as an organization or is

783
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: this fully a transition here? And they have a bigger

784
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: plan in mind and they're churning through this year. But

785
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't get the what this leadership is about. There's

786
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: the chance you could get Baker Mayfield. I'm not saying

787
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: he's a top ten quarterback himself, but there's a chance

788
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: that they're not done at quarterback. Was this like an

789
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: either or Russell Wilson or Pete Carroll? Because isn't can't

790
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: you argue that it's a lot easier to replace a

791
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: head coach than it is a top tier quarterback? I

792
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: agree as banging that joum all All last year, And

793
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this is ownership. And there's

794
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: been more reports coming out recently that this team could

795
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: be sold sooner than later. That the Portland Trailblazers, which

796
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Jody allen Uh who took over for for the deceased

797
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: Paul allen Uh, it's supposedly going to be selling and

798
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: they've they're like denying this publicly, but usually when this

799
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: starts coming out, it really felt like ownership didn't want

800
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: to shake things up, and they chose Carol over Russell Wilson,

801
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: which is well, Wilson wanted to You said deceased. That's heavy.

802
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: It's a heavy word use. I mean, it's right. It

803
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: just like came out. Why is that why I just

804
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: was pointing out here? You know, I probably people aren't

805
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: totally onto the late Paul Allen. Yeah, that would have

806
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: been better. Ultimately I'm doing football show at a corner

807
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, it feels pretty physical. All right, let's

808
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: move on. Greig being shaved. I don't. I don't. I

809
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: don't feel shame. I mean, he could try. I don't

810
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 1: feel shame in this choose to feel it in this case.

811
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm not alright, Greg, you are up on k all right,

812
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go undertaker, Greg Rosenthal. I'm gonna go with

813
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: kerfuffle word great word underused, And I think it's going

814
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: to describe a little bit of what might be happening

815
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: behind the scenes between Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. And

816
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, you you're getting on me for sources, you know,

817
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: not really I was just shining the light on a story,

818
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: and I'm just saying there there are other sources out there,

819
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: and some are maybe more reliable than others, but there's

820
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: some there's some buzz going around from a different source

821
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: of of the tension here between Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch,

822
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: and some of it is playing out publicly, and some

823
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: of it is a little more under the radar, Like

824
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan's been hanging around a lot more, which is

825
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: a little strange. And the John Lynch almost went to

826
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: Amazon thing, which seemed like it might have been coming

827
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: from the John Lynch side, not the Amazon side necessarily. Uh,

828
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: they're dead last in cap space. They still have Jimmy

829
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: g there, Nick Bosa in addition to Deebo. Samuel could

830
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: be looking for more money. And I just feel like

831
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: if things don't go well, there's a lot of tension

832
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: and I think there's gonna be a kerfuffle here that

833
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: could play out publicly. Allah, Bill Walsh and and and

834
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: um some of his bosses over these. Kyle Shanahan came

835
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: from that tree, Mike Shanna came from the tree. I mean,

836
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: no one fought more with their owners and their g

837
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: MS than Bill Walsh, like that was happening all the time,

838
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: even during the good times. I don't see Kyle losing

839
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: a power struggle. Me neither me neither well because so

840
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: first of all, I mean, I think you pegged the

841
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: trade Lance situation on John. I don't. There isn't a

842
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: lot of ready to go down that road, like everyone's

843
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: ready to just call that a bust and a mistake.

844
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: It's so early as it doesn't they were maybe on

845
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: different sides, and if it doesn't work out, it's not

846
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it gets pegged on Lynch more than more

847
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: than Shanahan, because I would imagine that Shanahan was as

848
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: high on someone like Mac Jones or a different quarterback altogether.

849
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: And up so far it's not a bust, but the

850
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: development of Trey Lance is going very slowly, and the

851
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: fact that Jimmy g is still hanging around and his

852
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: salary is somewhat insane. It's also not going away. It's

853
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: like a reminder. It's like they're in a marriage basically,

854
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: and they both had their sides and one got their way,

855
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: and like the reminder of that decision is with him

856
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: every single day. Also should just for context, they came,

857
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: you know, within a fourth quarter meltdown of going to

858
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year. So this team has also

859
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of success, which I credit to Kyle

860
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: Shanahan more than anyone else. I mean, he seems to

861
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: be the guy that is the golden child. So anything

862
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: that good happens is because of Kyle, and then you

863
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: can pin everything else on the GM. That's just the

864
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: vibe I feel that it comes, and it's from this

865
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: room and from Twitter. But is that really true? Do

866
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: we really know? I don't know. There's just like Jan's

867
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: obviously a brilliant offensive mind. There's so much uncertainty with

868
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: Trey Lance and then the new there's a lot of

869
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: new faces on this coaching staff too, so you have

870
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: a roster that is otherwise pretty stacked with talent. So

871
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of a weird situation. Let's move on to

872
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: L with Mark Seler. L is for lamar Mr Jackson,

873
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: if You're nasty? Okay, that was dumb, looking to some

874
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: like he's disengaged by the way he did write down,

875
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: Mr Jackson, if you can without acknowledge that it was

876
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 1: very stupid. That is a nineteen eighties song pop pop

877
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: song by Janet Jackson. I believe I assume most would

878
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know. I don't think. Alright, well,

879
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm not twelve, I'm not twenty six years old. Uh

880
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: to you know, looking to some Lamar Jackson like he's

881
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: disengaged by not attending O T A s. But this

882
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: broadcasting vehicle has taken the p o V that O

883
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: T A S don't matter for guys like Lamar and

884
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I agree with that, and we do not

885
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: wish to be tissed tissed by Mr Jackson the way

886
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: he went after Chris Sims this week. Have a nice day,

887
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. We wish you peace and joy right into

888
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: the sun. Yeah, this story is less interesting to me

889
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: than maybe some people. Well I really knocked that out

890
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: of the park. Well no, no, I'm saying. I'm saying

891
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: it's good up. Yeah, Like that's that's I don't need

892
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: like the Chris Sims Lamar Jackson back and forth on Twitter.

893
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: It's just like it's it's nothing, Burger. I mean, it

894
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: really is, Lamar Jackson. We'll see how his contract plays out,

895
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: but he's it's not like he's gonna disappear from the

896
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: team for mandatory minicamp, right, Like, isn't that the only

897
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: thing that we also come out and say, like, I

898
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: can't wait to get back and hang out with you

899
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: all and work with you. So I do like the

900
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: part where the tweets started with quote Lamar wants to

901
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: be Lamar Chris, which I just that right under the

902
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: name Lamar Jackson because that's his Twitter handle. Is just

903
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: fun but just I enjoyed it. Um, So yeah, I

904
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: guess get back to me. If all of a sudden,

905
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: mandatory camp starts. Once mandatory camp, that's that's. That's in

906
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. It depends on the team. It's

907
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: either next week or the week after. The coaches are

908
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: putting on a little more pressure though about it. Greg

909
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: Roman mentioned how of the playbooks knew it would be

910
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: good for him to be here, and so they're they're

911
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: putting on a little Your wide receiver group is new.

912
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to go down that avenue.

913
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: But if he skips mandatory, it's the situation is a

914
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: little strange, uh M. For Mike Trout. Los Angeles Angels

915
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: star Mike Trout is trying to stay out of the

916
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: fantasy football league issue between listen to this. You know,

917
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: we hit this on Monday, and I was just gonna

918
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: let the story go. But you should understand, if you're

919
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: not a baseball fan, Mike Trout is basically the modern

920
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle. That's that's the level of player we're talking about.

921
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: And he's stuck on an Angels team that's bad every year,

922
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: so it's kind of depressed his national viability. Is a

923
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: popular athlete. But I will say this when we find

924
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: out that Tommy Fan tells reporters on Tuesday that Trout

925
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: was the commissioner of this league. Remember the take I

926
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: had on Monday about the slap the kerfuffle. I was like,

927
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: the guy who was wrong, who was in the wrong,

928
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: was the commissioner of that league for not setting the

929
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 1: i R rules strongly and not allowed which allowed people

930
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: to circumvent and get cute. And I've seen it a

931
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: million times in leagues I've been in. So it's on

932
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: Trout to me. Fan told reporters that he is the

933
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: worst commissioner in fantasy sports because he could have prevented

934
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: the dispute by the two outfield is the same thing

935
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: I said, Uh, and then uh, he's at Yankee Stadium

936
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: Trout for a series this week, and they asked them

937
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: about it during a rain delay, and Trout wanted nothing

938
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: to do with it. I ain't talking about boy, I

939
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: don't even know. You know, it's just one of the things. It's, uh,

940
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's competitive. Every love fantasy football. Who doesn't

941
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: um the rule here that I think the lesson here,

942
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: Colleen is commissioners get your ess in order have to.

943
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you are the ones that are leading the

944
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: entire leagues, even if you're the modern Mickey Mant, get

945
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: it together or don't be the commissioner. That's what I did.

946
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: I walked away, stepped down. Yeah, I mean, it's too much.

947
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: It's like the most thankless job there is beyond like

948
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: youth league umpire or referee. That's actually even more thankless.

949
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: And they deserve our our thanks in respect commissioner. That's

950
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: what about in the ancient times when the commissioner actually

951
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: was in charge of like tabulating stats before it became Yes,

952
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: I remember those days. I never did that, but yeah,

953
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: that was not so long ago, although very long ago.

954
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: Like Trout follows me on Twitter, that that strikes me

955
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: as odd. He's a big football fan. Maybe you should. Well,

956
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to brag. I just I'm surprised. How

957
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: many people does he follow? Two thou four? Pretty good? Good?

958
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: Doesn't follow me? Not a fan, you know, he's a

959
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: Philly guy. He is. All right, let's I'm actually more

960
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: suspicious of that than I am. Uh he follows I

961
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: got it? Check it's not. I think it will end

962
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 1: well for you. I think it's gonna be great because

963
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the only one left out here. Does

964
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: he follow you? Alright? Good? Come on the Mickey Mantle,

965
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: Today's Mickey Mantle. That's come on. I'm like, oh, this

966
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: is the most is the result? Not a good result

967
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: for me. I could ask him to switch following me

968
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: and switch you to follow you. He's just like a

969
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: he just he just will do football. He doesn't want

970
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: anything else. You know, when you throw that throwback podcast,

971
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: he's just like you, unfo when he sees my courts

972
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: of thunder, just unfollow us, you know, he just he

973
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: wants a straight football. His Twitter account whatever, not good,

974
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: by the way, it's he'll just put the name of

975
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: the city he's flying to city out And then they

976
00:52:54,920 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: had four emojis of a plane, New York, Texas. This

977
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: is a thing. Oh my gosh, that's funny. Alright. Baseball players,

978
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, not known, not always for their gift with words,

979
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: not always. Uh. I'll throw in one more m on

980
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: a more serious note, and this is a again hat

981
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: let's see these things, especially um. So young former Dallas

982
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Bears running back Mary and Barber has died

983
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty eight, the Cowboys said in

984
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: a statement on Wednesday. At this time, the cause of

985
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: Barber's death is unknown. Police in Frisco, Texas, said in

986
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: a statement that they responded to a welfare concerned Wednesday

987
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: in an apartment they believed to be leased by Barber

988
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: and Um. They found his body. Um thirty eight years old.

989
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: He was drafted in the fourth round the two thousand

990
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: five NFL Draft out of Minnesota. Was a pro bowler.

991
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 1: Um had some really big moments for the Cowboys. Released

992
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys after the two thousand ten season, played

993
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: one year with the Bears. Ah, and we lose him

994
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty eight. Tragic, And then again,

995
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: we've we've had too many of these stories. Any of

996
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: these stories. You don't want to ever have to talk

997
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: about it. But we've talked about three now in the

998
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: space of a month. Um, former players losing their lives

999
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: or current players far too soon. And I mean they

1000
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: were you know, he's dealt with mental health issues and

1001
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: they don't. They haven't as this taping, this closed sort

1002
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: of what happened and all that. But um, you just

1003
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: worry about a lot of these players in their post

1004
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: playing careers. I mean, this is a pattern that we

1005
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: obviously has been established that this game of football can

1006
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: create major issues, uh post rear what a player. I mean,

1007
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, it is is so tragic that we lost

1008
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: them for listeners that weren't around when he was at

1009
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: his best. He had three straight seasons over eleven yards.

1010
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: But his running style was electric. Like I remember talking

1011
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: with West like back in OH A O nine about

1012
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: Mary and Barbara. He really was very similar to Marshawn

1013
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: Lynch before Marshawn Lynch little similar to our friend Maurice

1014
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: Jones Drew. The way that he could run and bounce

1015
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: off people was just so much fun to watch, and

1016
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: he was great in the passing game. He was like

1017
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: a perfect modern back where he was great on the

1018
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: goal line, great on third down, and there was just

1019
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: something about the energy that he ran with that. Yeah,

1020
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: I know he only made one Pro Bowl or whatever,

1021
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: but if you talked to like x NFL players, he

1022
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: was often one of their favorite players. He was kind

1023
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: of one of those if you know, you know guys

1024
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: that just like real players, respected his game in such

1025
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: a way. Uh. He he was just a ball to

1026
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: watch at his he was so gifted, Like fourth most

1027
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in Cowboys franchise history. He had such a

1028
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: specific style greg that you just kind of described there.

1029
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: It's just so tragic that he was so young, thirty

1030
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: eight years old. I mean, it's just a really sad

1031
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: ending to his story. Um. And if you want to

1032
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: watch one clip that tells you so much about what

1033
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: he was running back. He has what's known as the

1034
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: most famous yard run in NFL history. It happened in

1035
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: a game against the Patriots in two thousand seven where

1036
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: they were backed up in their old goal line. Romo

1037
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: hands it off immediately He's in a swarm of trouble. Uh.

1038
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: He escapes through the back of his own end zone,

1039
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: rolls back out, breaks about five different tackles, including Junior

1040
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: say Out. Another player lost way too soon and then

1041
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: ends up getting out of the end zone and getting

1042
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage. It's check it out. It's

1043
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: all over the internet after this sad news. But Marion

1044
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: Barber uh dead at the age of thirty eight. Let's

1045
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: take a break. All right, here we go, We're back.

00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Owners gone wild here, And I mean

1051
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: I I don't because they're they're serious topics, man. I

1052
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: just I think it's the old around the end league

1053
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: UM editor in me that I just feel like, if

1054
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: we're doing this show you we sort of have to

1055
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: cover this stuff, even if they're not fun uh to

1056
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: talk about, and at least just mention what's happening with

1057
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: owners uh in this league has I feel like it's

1058
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: been an especially bad year for owners. David David Tepper,

1059
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: the Panthers owner, is filing for bankruptcy, or at least

1060
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,439
Speaker 1: his real estate UM company is filing for bankruptcy after

1061
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: this story that I've been tracking, and it's it's been

1062
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: interesting to me, and it's very complicated, so I'm not

1063
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: going to go on and on about it. But basically,

1064
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: they started building a facility in rock Hills, South Carolina,

1065
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: and it was half built, and because of an argument

1066
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: with the local government and that he's up building it.

1067
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: So it's like literally sitting there, it's like half build.

1068
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: They had already started it. They've been to the new

1069
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: Team facility, the new Team facility have been undergoing construction

1070
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: for a while and it's just there now. And now

1071
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: there's lawsuits and I'm not gonna speak an opinion on

1072
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: all this stuff, but it definitely, um doesn't look great.

1073
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean if he's look if he was a different

1074
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: owner that's a little more high profile, Like imagine the

1075
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: New York tabloids how much fun they would be having

1076
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: with an owner that started building uh a Team facility

1077
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: and is advertised as the wealthiest owner in the NFL

1078
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: and then stops and then declares bankruptcy. Just like one

1079
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: little note like it's not tied to his the bankruptcy

1080
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: declarations with real estate holding personal to the pant it's

1081
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: not his personal money, and so it actually doesn't affect

1082
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: the Panthers at all. But it's kind of like what

1083
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: a rich guy moved to be able to go do

1084
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: what he did, declared Banker Glaria, financial expert in this

1085
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: room right now. But it's a famous, like super rich

1086
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: guy move to declare bankruptcy and you just think, oh,

1087
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: that must be really bad. But it's like one of

1088
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: his holdings and it doesn't even affect his day to

1089
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: day life on any level. But still it's not Greg,

1090
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: I guess the optics now and well, And meanwhile, they

1091
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: don't have they they've been talking about how their facilities

1092
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: need an upgrade for a long time and not enjoying

1093
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: their training camp set up, and so they're still kind

1094
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: of stuck in nowhere. So we we heard a lot

1095
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: of great things about when they changed ownership, and they've

1096
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: they've had quite a few hiccups in the last a

1097
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: couple of years for the for the Panthers, and then

1098
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: the other ownership story, which again I don't think we

1099
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: need to discuss, but it's pretty compelling, is that the

1100
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: US House Oversight Committee on Oversight and Reform as invited

1101
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, our boss and Dan Snyder to appear at

1102
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: a hitting hearing as part of an investigation ind into

1103
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: the Commander's team workplace conduct. And there's been different talk

1104
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 1: about whether Snyder could lose his job, whether he could

1105
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: be voted. Well, the fact that they're asking Roger Goodell

1106
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: to appear in front of Congress, in front of this

1107
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: um as part of this basically as he's partly responsible

1108
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: for what's happened with everything going on there. I don't know.

1109
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes and if they actually show

1110
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: up and what happens. We just George Stefanopolis. It's like

1111
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: late June, so that's a perfect time for you, right, Yeah,

1112
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: we're locked in. There's no way they could get rid

1113
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: of us. Now, you know, like the outside the courtroom

1114
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: guy that just has to live. Remember like when the

1115
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: lockout was going on and they just had Burp rear,

1116
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: like sleeping outside. This is like a version of that.

1117
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: You'll get that. But you're going to be on the

1118
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: duty of like Snyder Goodell litigation. Constant updates on this show.

1119
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: It never ends with this team. This could be a

1120
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 1: permanent beat this team. There's always a story with this team.

1121
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: If we camp you down there to d C surrounding territories.

1122
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: And I do if if it ends up that an

1123
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: owner is essentially removed because of this whole thing, that

1124
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: is a shifting point in the NFL, because might be

1125
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: on that story Lesly, if you're telling Mark he's got

1126
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: to go DeCamp into the d C Virginia wilderness for

1127
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: a year or two, I feel like you might embrace

1128
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: that right to come out of it with a very

1129
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: boring book about the whole process. It's quickly on a

1130
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: next Alright P is for alright a feeling that Doug

1131
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Peterson no longer needs to feel after taking over a

1132
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: low expectations Jaguars team with a potentially brilliant quarterback in

1133
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and camp reports of Travis E. T n

1134
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: operating as a super juicy X factor. I'm not saying

1135
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: worst the first in the a f C South, but

1136
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: I feel like this team has been aggressively ignored this offseason.

1137
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: And why can't this Jaguars team, I know last year

1138
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: was an absolute disaster. Just to not be in that situation,

1139
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: you'd think they're already five or six wins better. They

1140
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: blew up the Bills a year ago they ended the

1141
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: cult season. There is some talent on both sides of

1142
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Why can't they have a little bit of

1143
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: fun in and why are they being ignored? Well because

1144
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: there the Jaguars and they've had the number one over

1145
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: i'll pick two years in a row, which is a disgrace,

1146
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: So they don't deserve a lot of pub However, I've

1147
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: been like gently tapping the drum on this offseason. Doesn't

1148
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Peterson at the right time for this team? Yes, I

1149
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: think it was a smart, sensible higher Rick. I know, Connie,

1150
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: you are someone who has a nice relationship with Doug Peterson.

1151
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: Peterson's great. Yeah, we we all hung out. He's like,

1152
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's a super He's the perfect head coach

1153
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: to take over for the Jags, especially after what they

1154
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: just came through. I mean, he's a word smith. I

1155
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: think the roster is a lot better. I think that

1156
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: they went into the last two years with the bottom

1157
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: three to five roster. I think that that excuse may

1158
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: be gotten. Like they look legitimately frisky, like in the

1159
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: front seven, and then you kind of go through each

1160
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: position group other than the secondary, they all look like average.

1161
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Like I don't think this is the thirty first best

1162
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: roster on paper. I think they're getting the upgrading coach,

1163
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: and I think the expectations should be higher. And then

1164
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: it should also be said something that brought up a

1165
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks on the show a couple of weeks ago,

1166
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: that they they've spent wildly trying to reconfigure the roster,

1167
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: and they they're putting themselves in a difficult cap situation

1168
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: down the road. So we gotta we gotta see some

1169
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: results this year, and then you need the front office

1170
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: to be smart. And I don't know if we but yes,

1171
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I feel like they are in a much more, much

1172
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: more better situation to be frisky than certainly last year.

1173
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: With that joke of a coach Peterson taking over for

1174
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: urban Meyer reminds me of of what Bill Parcels like

1175
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: to do, Like he didn't want to be the guy

1176
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: taking over for the guy. He wanted to be to

1177
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: the next guy. Not that the Jaggers have had many

1178
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: guys that that succeeded. You want to replace a co type,

1179
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: right or there's some coaches in this off season that

1180
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: are inheriting pretty good situations. There's more immediate pressure if

1181
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: they win six games. I think and Trevor Lawrence plays well,

1182
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: everyone's going to be happy. That's that's the expectations are manageable.

1183
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: Disconnects to yours Mark que for questions or queries on

1184
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: second year quarterbacks south of Quebec. Wow, look at you wait,

1185
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: say say Quebec again, Quebec. You could say Quebec or

1186
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: Quebec I say the real ones as Greg would say. No,

1187
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: it's Quebec. I just like the words smith here. Um.

1188
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: You would think, you know, coming off a big contract extension,

1189
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: would start phoning it in here, but Dan is going

1190
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the extra mile. I'm also not saying that I say

1191
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: it right. I'm just saying that's how I say it.

1192
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into some sort of Canadian clash. Yeah,

1193
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: we could just call her and put her on speakerphone,

1194
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: not let her know that she's one that would be better.

1195
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. I'm gonna call Rachel. Every

1196
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: one should know is from our northern neighbors. Let's see.

1197
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Let's see, hey, Rachel, what's up. Hey, we're taping the

1198
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: podcast right now, and we just brought up um uh,

1199
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: the one of the provinces up there in your native land,

1200
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: um q U e b e c correct pronunciation. We're

1201
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: looking for que you e b e Quebec Quebec. That's

1202
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: how I say it. But what about what about the

1203
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: theory some some have the theory that the real ones

1204
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: call it Quebec. Okay, o back, she's out on the

1205
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: mark side. I think it's pretty clear Quebec Quebec. Case closed.

1206
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Rachel, we'll get together after the show

1207
01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: and I have a conversation. Okay. I think she said

1208
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: you're bold. Thank you, Rachel. Bye. Rage I'm I'm tema

1209
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: hands us on this one. I believe it or not.

1210
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: A third of my family, the chavs Klan, lives in Montreal.

1211
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: No way, ye Quebec. They say Quebec. It's clearly though,

1212
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: that's another Canadian we've just spoken to. Clearly not everyone's

1213
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: on the same page here. Well, I mean if they

1214
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: grew up in the area, so they have that accent

1215
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: they speak, they speak French, so it just it's just

1216
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Quebec to them, you know, just kind like go anchor

1217
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: back to the point that I wasn't saying, look at me,

1218
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying it right, I'm just saying that's how now.

1219
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: But Dan did say the real Ones said it the

1220
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: other day, so you just assumed that out of the gate.

1221
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: Did you repeopline because it was impressive? Oh cute for

1222
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: questions or queries on second year quarterback south of Quebec.

1223
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: It feels like a warm up, like a vocal t

1224
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Lawrence dig into this, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields,

1225
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, Davis Mills. I'm gonna throw him in there.

1226
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: He deserves it is there has to be in the conversation,

1227
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: who do you think who do you most confident in?

1228
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Makes that? Uh, you're too leap. Where are we standing

1229
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: right now? I think mac Jones is the one that

1230
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: makes the most sense because he was by far the

1231
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: most promising, But we can't ignore the Jones, and there's

1232
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: no Josh McDaniels, which I think is notable. That supporting

1233
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: cast is better. Do you still think Greggy that or

1234
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: do you think at all that Mac Jones is the

1235
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 1: guy most likely to have a nice year to jump? Well,

1236
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: the way the question is phrase, I think Trevor Lawrence

1237
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: is the most likely to have the biggest jump because

1238
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: he's coming from the lowest point. Along with Zach Wilson,

1239
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: I would say they were comparable, though I would takes

1240
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: pretty ground up right now as well he is, although

1241
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: I really think Justin Fields was at a higher level

1242
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: for his start, showed more, had better statistically of the metrics.

1243
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: That's fair. So I think Lawrence is the safest bet

1244
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: that way, because I I think mac jones Is ceiling

1245
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: is much higher than people realize. I think he can

1246
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: absolutely the best quarterback in this class this year and

1247
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: have the best career. But this season, in terms of

1248
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: a second year leap, Lawrence, you have a lot to

1249
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: work with. I just even if he's like a little

1250
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: better than league average, that's a monstrous jump from where

1251
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: he was. You'd like to say, yeah, Zach Wilson and

1252
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: you talk about where you were last year and where

1253
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: there's a good environment around him. They did, they did

1254
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: a good job. They've now supported him surrounded Cats got

1255
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: another year in the same offense. If he doesn't take

1256
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: the next significant leap this year, they should be in

1257
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: the market for someone else next year. I feel That's

1258
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: how I feel about that situation. If mac Jones takes

1259
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: a significant leap, I mean he'll be one of the

1260
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: best eight quarterbacks in the league or so and and

1261
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: I think of him a little bit as a poor

1262
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: man's Joe Burrow, and I think they had similar rookie seasons.

1263
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Obviously doesn't have the mobility like he already was like

1264
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: a league average quarterback. So if he makes another jump,

1265
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 1: he's like a top ten quarterback. I kind of wanted

1266
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: to be Davis Mills just so this years crazy. He

1267
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: had never gets talked about, and he was better than

1268
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. You're again if you just look at the

1269
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: terrible team, right, if you look at just the last

1270
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: five games of the season, which is a random sample size,

1271
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: but he was the best rookie quarterback and those five games.

1272
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: By then Mac Jones was taken on a little water

1273
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: and go and had some ups in his downs. And

1274
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: David smells flashed. Man. He doesn't look like like an

1275
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: under talented guy. That's like try hard guy. He looks

1276
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: like like he could have been a first round pick.

1277
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 1: All right, Connie, how much time? What do you have

1278
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: a heart? At one? We have eleven minutes with Connie.

1279
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish this. Here we go quick, rad. That's

1280
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: how Davante Adams is going to look in his Raiders jersey.

1281
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about him with Derek Carr, Josh McDaniels

1282
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: will constantly get him the bar, the ball, and maybe

1283
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: they'll be at the bar. Who knows. But I just

1284
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: think that Adams proving everyone wrong who thinks that he's

1285
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: not going to be as good without Rodgers is so perfect.

1286
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: Like twenty nine is the new twenty one. Everyone's thriving

1287
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: in their thirties now. Probably, Yes, that just blew up

1288
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: one of my later life. I'm gonna go super Bowl

1289
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:17,839
Speaker 1: or bust. That's what Broncos receiver Tim Patrick said about

1290
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: this Denver team on Wednesday. And this is a situation

1291
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: where a new quarterback, a new head coach, a new

1292
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and a team that hasn't had virtually any success.

1293
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Um is super Bowl or bust? That is asking a lot.

1294
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: But if they're they're going to be led by one

1295
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: guy who will take it calmly. It's the coolest guy

1296
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 1: in the room. It's Russell Wilson. Just put my jug

1297
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: on for the first time, goes orange. Let's ride. It's

1298
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: not how he talks green screening it. Well, my boy,

1299
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. Let's ride. There's a difference character.

1300
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: He's playing. Well, it's different in every video. That's the thing.

1301
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: There's the teammates one that was one, there's the but

1302
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: there's the one in bed. But there's also the cr

1303
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: like more in a public place, and that's that has

1304
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: its own. There's press conferences answering questions, which is totally different.

1305
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of different one platforming new slogans,

1306
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: like there's that version the corporate Russ. Uh, can I

1307
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: just hear him again? It's just like it seems like

1308
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: he's he's just acting. Yes, just put on for the

1309
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: first time. Let's ride green screening it. Well, my boy,

1310
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go. Let's ride. Baby. Let me know

1311
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: what we don't he's the coolest guy in the NFL.

1312
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 1: Now what if I what if I had a theory?

1313
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: It's just just isn't it possible at least that he's

1314
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: acting the rest of the time and this is act,

1315
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: this is the real Russ? Which I think. I think

1316
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 1: that like the press conferences, I guess there is more

1317
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: where I would be there for. I'm just definitely a corner.

1318
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of Super Bowler bust. By

1319
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: the way, I agree they could win the Super Bowl

1320
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: or they could be six and eleven. I think they

1321
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 1: have the biggest variants of maybe any team in the NFL.

1322
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: There could be a bust. Is your theory that that's

1323
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: the most authentic Russell Wilson as is true. I think

1324
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: there's a possibility of that, that that's more Russell. I

1325
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: know you don't believe he's been presenting now, but that

1326
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: he's been presenting outward in a predominantly white world at

1327
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: NC State in Wisconsin for a long time. And think

1328
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: also there's the there's theffer complete brain. Like I think

1329
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 1: I've told you this in college, there was a baseball

1330
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: player that lived next to me and I he left

1331
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: for a week and he had plants, and so he

1332
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,560
Speaker 1: asked me to go in and water his plants. And

1333
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: all around the room I mean not kidding, there were

1334
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 1: like a hundred and fifties self motivational phrases put up

1335
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 1: all over the place. And makes me think of Russell Wilson,

1336
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:05,560
Speaker 1: who seems just like slogan after slogan, Yeah, because you

1337
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: want to get on him for being you know, the

1338
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,759
Speaker 1: cornball and all this stuff, and that's I think ultimately

1339
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: what it is. Everybody got cr and we end we

1340
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: can see that it is not his true self, Like

1341
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: we could see that there he's putting something it's not

1342
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 1: mean spirited honestly toward him or or it doesn't mean

1343
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: he's not a good guy, because by all accounts he's,

1344
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, an upstanding citizen and a good dude and

1345
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: a good teammate. It's just it's as a try hard

1346
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: ye I think that, Um, all right, let's where are

1347
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: we at? What was that? Greg? That was letter? Was alright?

1348
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: We're running out of time with Connie now t Mark alright?

1349
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: T is for Ted? Isn't Ted Carriss? Alex Cappa and

1350
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: lay All Collins the completely rebuilt right side of the

1351
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: Bengals oh line, A reconstruction. I don't think that has

1352
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: got enough attention and turns the sexiest team in the

1353
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 1: a f C North into a squad with no overt

1354
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: weakness and an absolute badass flinging touchdown darts to and

1355
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: fro and Joe Burrow. T is talk more about the

1356
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 1: totally unknown ceiling of the a f c's most interesting team.

1357
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: That's right. Remember when I used to say this and

1358
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: would get on the on the TV all the time.

1359
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: This is the most interesting team in the a f C.

1360
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: Stick in a commercial. Did you say it into your

1361
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: this is the most interesting team in the a f C.

1362
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,480
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't have this came is that we're

1363
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: due to take these new ones. So let me get

1364
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 1: one to man. This football action that keeps getting better, Greg,

1365
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I think they'll win. That's the actual things that they say.

1366
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: They always take the most innocuous. Can't be specific about anything.

1367
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: My camera, I'm on the edge of my seat. That's

1368
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: a good one. Talking to the cameras aren't lighting up.

1369
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: There's no the cameras aren't working. It's just a it's

1370
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 1: our own vanity. They just tell us that none of

1371
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: us is actually being recorded. All right. I like that theory. Though.

1372
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I like that theory. They're forget that their interesting. Their

1373
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: big weakness got completely short up. They also that was

1374
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: a magical run. Magic and there are different types of

1375
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: teams that go on magical runs and they're actually sort

1376
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: of better the next they have chance to be better.

1377
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: I'm not taken down the Bengals. They're a team, a

1378
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: fun team. Here we go, moving on. You are we

1379
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 1: at you? Yes? All right? I don't have much here.

1380
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: I was kind of stumped. Here. So I'm just gonna

1381
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: move quickly on usage trends at tight end. Just from

1382
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: rear bar a sharp football. Last season, NFL tight ends

1383
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: pass blocked at their lowest rate since at least aligned

1384
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: inland in line at their lowest rates since at least

1385
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: gained their largest share of league wide receiving arts. It's

1386
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: that did make me think about when we were doing

1387
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: our fantasy wide receiver draft, uh and we had phoebe

1388
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: Uh coming out with Kyle Pitts. Just like, if you're

1389
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 1: a team and I was rooting for a team for

1390
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: so long that was punting on tight end as a receiver,

1391
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: it's just like, no, you're behind the league. These guys

1392
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: are a big, big part of what they're doing. And

1393
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: it's not just it's not good enough anymore, just like

1394
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: oh he's a good blocker, it's not where the league. Yeah,

1395
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: move on, Okay, all right, here we go. I can

1396
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: give you like ten more minutes just in cases if

1397
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: we're going to do it. V is for vacillate, And

1398
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,560
Speaker 1: that's with Brady's relationship with football and retirement. He just

1399
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: keeps vacillating between the two. And the only reason I

1400
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: bring up this tired storyline is because he talked about

1401
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: it again on T n T last night after the match.

1402
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys watched this, but it

1403
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: was fascinating. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and I

1404
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: wanted to watch the interview at least after That's what

1405
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: I mean. I didn't actually watch the math or match.

1406
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't do golf, even though I hosted that golf

1407
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: show from the Internet. Did such a good job with

1408
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: facilitating the whole conversation. It was awesome. It was really

1409
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: cool to have them all together and really revealing. But

1410
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 1: Brady talk about retiring next year, and it's obviously going

1411
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: to be a thing that continues on for the rest

1412
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: of our lives, it feels like. But he was even

1413
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: kind of talking through the process of deciding to come back,

1414
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: and it seemed like he was spinning a little bit

1415
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 1: as he was talking, and so that in and of

1416
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: itself was really really revealing. I thought like he was

1417
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 1: taking us through how he started to sort of panic

1418
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: a little bit when he didn't say this, but you

1419
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,600
Speaker 1: could tell in the way that he was talking about it,

1420
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: like when free agency was about to start, that he

1421
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: needed to make up his mind, and then as soon

1422
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: as he made up his mind one way, he felt

1423
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: like he made the wrong decision. And it was just

1424
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: kind of interesting to see him bring us in. There

1425
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: probably is no definite answer on what's going to happen

1426
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: next year, because I don't think he has a definite now. Yeah. Also,

1427
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 1: I think the football season itself will dictate whether he's

1428
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: any must come back where they win a Super Bowl

1429
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:57,600
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm out, you know he there was

1430
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: a moment that I just saw mentioned on there which

1431
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: I just loved, which is he they asked him about

1432
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: his TV deal and he said like he looked at

1433
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: that as his chance to give back to the game.

1434
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers are fun. You ever get paid so

1435
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: much for giving back? It's just like the perfect I mean,

1436
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 1: there are times when Aaron Rodgers is annoying, but I

1437
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: feel like he would be the perfect guy in a

1438
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 1: group of friends for that to be like to call

1439
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: your friend his bulls. Oh yeah, you're giving back for

1440
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,879
Speaker 1: thirty seven billion dollars a year to talk about football.

1441
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: There was another clip they were sitting in the round

1442
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: and someone what's Josh Allen's the thing he fears most

1443
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: or hates the most. And then Patrick Mahomes like pipe

1444
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 1: vegetables a coin toss he was like and then it

1445
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: happened to me next week I heard Homes was fantastic

1446
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: on that. By the way, he was so good you

1447
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I highly recommend watching it all right, Greg, Okay, I'm

1448
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna go wobbly, And that would be how I would

1449
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: describe the stats of Isaiah Win. Also in w On,

1450
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots first round draft pick from four

1451
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: years ago, who's been up and down. PFF always loves him,

1452
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 1: but the Patriots coaching staff never seems to and he

1453
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: doesn't stay healthy. He's been skipping O, T, A S.

1454
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: And I would put wobbly uh to describe a few

1455
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: different little parts of this Patriots roster. But also Nelson

1456
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Agilars placed on the team. I think this team has

1457
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: some team building to do between now in September. If

1458
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:33,600
Speaker 1: there was a team that I think will look a

1459
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: little different uh than they do right now. I think

1460
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots are high up there. They just seem like

1461
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: they have some big roster holes. They have some guys

1462
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: that don't quite fit. I don't know if Win is

1463
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: gonna be on their team. I don't know if Nelson

1464
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: Agler is gonna be on their team. I think maybe

1465
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: Donte Hide Tower will be back on their team. It

1466
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: just feels like there's a lot of weird spots. But

1467
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: that was gonna be their left tackle of the future,

1468
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: and and there seems to be some issue and they

1469
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: moved Trent Brown over there, and I just think I've

1470
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: been playing there in practice, right. I think about that

1471
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: report where and I, you know, not to harp on you,

1472
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: who's gonna call plays? Like these coaches can probably figure

1473
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: it out. I'm not overly concerned about that. It didn't

1474
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 1: work for the Dolphins, but there were players saying that

1475
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: practices seemed super discombobulated, and they were like, what on

1476
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,719
Speaker 1: earth is going on? So when you look at Mac Jones,

1477
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to be set up to succeed. You've

1478
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:18,680
Speaker 1: lost Josh McDaniels, who I don't know about him as

1479
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: a head coach, but he's a great Oh see. Uh.

1480
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: There's a sense of hubris here where it's like, we're

1481
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: going to run into an NFL season with six coaches

1482
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: on our staff and no clear designation of who does what.

1483
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: Good time. This part of why Mac Jones stood out

1484
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 1: from the rest of the rookies last year is he

1485
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 1: was by far putting the best position of those other quarterbacks.

1486
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 1: So once again the track record again this is Bill Belichick.

1487
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: So I I still side down like this is gonna

1488
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: be all worked out. But yeah, it's notable that things

1489
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: seem so clunky, and they were. They won ten games

1490
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 1: last year. Is the guy right now? He's kind of

1491
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: the offensive I feel like there is and I've been

1492
01:20:57,720 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: guilty of this in the past, but there's sometimes a

1493
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: a rush to throw dirt on the Patriots and then

1494
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: it's like there is too much talent. I agree. I

1495
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: agree with that part. They usually find away. But the

1496
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: roster looks they just have some weird spots in it. Defensively. Offensively,

1497
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: the aglar thing is they actually have enough good receivers.

1498
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't need him. Wobbly x Mark. This is

1499
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: the one that I've just recrafted and rethought about because

1500
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 1: it was Deep six earlier. X is for XO. Well,

1501
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: it's not very good excess for EXO. Hugs and kisses.

1502
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: Kirk and O'Connell sitting in a tree, K I S

1503
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 1: S I n G. First come love, then comes marriage.

1504
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: Seems nice, But what happens when the games start? Are

1505
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 1: we buying this romance? You led us to the end.

1506
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 1: Now you needed a rhyme. There, pretty good. First comes love,

1507
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,640
Speaker 1: then comes to marriage. Then it happened to when the

1508
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: games start, a whole bunch of cabbage. I don't know,

1509
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 1: is it? How about this? First comes probably about that,

1510
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 1: then comes marriage. But what happens when the games start?

1511
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: A broken carriage? There you go, I mean, what happens

1512
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: when you lose grip of the baby carriage? Well, that

1513
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: would be a problem to you know cousin. Cousins mentioned

1514
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: how like this is the first off season where he's

1515
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: had to truly learn a new offense in seven or

1516
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 1: eight years, which I hadn't thought about. He's really been

1517
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: in the same type of system. And it's even then,

1518
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: it's not that far off of where he was with

1519
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh back in Washington and everything like that. It's

1520
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: very ramsesque, right, right, But he at least was saying

1521
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: it felt different. Maybe maybe that's good. Maybe he was

1522
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: too comfortable they'll go seven and ten or ten and

1523
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,560
Speaker 1: seven and nothing in between and will not make it

1524
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: the play. So you could work in disparage. Maybe oh,

1525
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: I like that. I'll keep working on this and maybe

1526
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: po at the very end of the episode. Why for uh,

1527
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: you need to calm down. And I say that in

1528
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: reference to OTA reports on struggles and success. You know,

1529
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: we've talked on this for so we don't need to

1530
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:03,520
Speaker 1: dwell on it. But I don't care. Some some JIBRONI

1531
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: sent me a tweet today just like Zach Wilson went

1532
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: one for five and so I guess you gotta bust

1533
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: on your hands. Anyway. Another reporter that I respect was

1534
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: reporting on an O T A goal line drill last

1535
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: week and the reporters were stationed in the opposite end zone.

1536
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: And if you've ever been and they're playing seven on seven,

1537
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: there's no at field level. You might as well be

1538
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: a submarine, like there's no viewpoint on what And yet

1539
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: you're using that as a reporting and you're writing about anyway.

1540
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: It's not on them. They they're there because football is

1541
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: so effing popular that the it will be consumed by

1542
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: readers and viewers and listeners. So I get that, but

1543
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: just if it don't get too caught up in it,

1544
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: neither good or bad. Like to of for example, UM

1545
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: went in front of the media today and was kind

1546
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 1: of bragging about a bomby through the Tyreek Hills, Like, guys,

1547
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: weren't there for that? You should have seen. It's like,

1548
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: I hope you could throw a bomb to Tyreek Hill

1549
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: in a practice where there's nobody can touch you, like

1550
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: every everybody, just you need to calm down. This is

1551
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: just reps and guys getting ready for a long summer

1552
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: and season to come. That's a good P s A.

1553
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,680
Speaker 1: I think that everyone needs to absorb that, right. I

1554
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: feel like that's a young reporters thing that they put

1555
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: too much on the O t s. Because you want

1556
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: to feel like your time is valuable. You're there and

1557
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: and I used to I used to write these like

1558
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: winners and losers of O t a s like whose

1559
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: stock is up inside? And then you realize, especially now

1560
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: because the practices are different than they were fifteen years

1561
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: ago too. It's not even practice. It's just like teaching

1562
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: sessions that there's nothing nothing. Everything is closing it out

1563
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: with Connie and the letter z Z is for Zamboni.

1564
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Of course. It is machine that's used to clean and

1565
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: clear the ice at a rink. Almost gonna run over

1566
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: by one when I was covering high school high man.

1567
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: That would be right after the game, literally right after

1568
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 1: a game ended. I had to get across the ice

1569
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: into the locker room on sneakers and I was looking

1570
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,600
Speaker 1: at my notepad. I swung the door open, took I

1571
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: was just about to take a step, and the thing

1572
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: from oh my gosh, we would not be yeah, it

1573
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: would be yes. It would not be good. Put it

1574
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: that way. Wow, that's that's a sliding door scenario that

1575
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: I get run over by a Zamboni at age twenty

1576
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 1: three for The Journal News. Death set by Zamboni is

1577
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: probably the worst that I can't think of it because

1578
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 1: ultimately people are counting the days until they can make

1579
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 1: hold on is like super loud to like, it's not

1580
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: like it's a it's not like a vehicle. The stands

1581
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: and you're busy and you're scrambling and you're just okay,

1582
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: So anyway I made it. There is the feeling of

1583
01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: having fresh ice like all to yourself. There's not thing

1584
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: like if you are a skater. I'm sure it's the

1585
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: same thing for like hockey players too. And I feel

1586
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 1: like Maddie Ice right now has a completely clean fresh

1587
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: in Indy and the Colts are going to the playoffs

1588
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 1: after the Zamboni cleared up all of the Wentz mess

1589
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 1: and if Matt Ryan goes down or gets hurt, then

1590
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: Frank Reich has Nick Foles just waiting right there in

1591
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 1: the wings. It's perfect. I talked about this on Monday.

1592
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: This all feels overly pat uh And I get it.

1593
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 1: Nick Foles and Connie and Eagles fans you love that, man,

1594
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: I get it. But like it's like, we got the

1595
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and if that doesn't work out, we got Nick Foles,

1596
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, and we know what happened last time. It's like,

1597
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 1: you still need a lot of things to break right

1598
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: for this team to be better than it was last year.

1599
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: And uh, break Reich, I thought you were. I don't know.

1600
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: I like Matt Ryan, I don't know if this is

1601
01:26:55,960 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: they're going to be that much better? Like who's skeptical

1602
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: on one of those teams? When I went through the

1603
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,560
Speaker 1: projected starters and looked at the whole roster, was like,

1604
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: you know what, I think Chris Ballard's done it again.

1605
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Let's overhype the cults like Michael Pittman obviously, like who

1606
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: else do we like Jonathan Taylor. Unlike in terms of

1607
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: pass catchers, guys that are mean. It's it's a concern

1608
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: that Paris Campbell is your number two or I mean

1609
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 1: number three and Alec Pierce. They love the rookie second

1610
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: round pick, but it's like a rookie vertical second round

1611
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: pick your county on to be your number two. You

1612
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: got a couple of tight ends with mo Ali Cox

1613
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 1: and you drafted Gilanni Woods. But you're right, it's a

1614
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: bad receiver. They might not be done at wide receiver

1615
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 1: because like there's the Odell Beckham situation sitting out there.

1616
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:40,719
Speaker 1: You could add someone still, but Matt Ryan can pretty

1617
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: much put it wherever he wants and then they's they signed. Uh,

1618
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: there's no recovery. Now there is Stefan Gilmer that you

1619
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: know you can got Wight trade. I think i'd forgotten

1620
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: nice little group up front with Quitti Pay who would

1621
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: look pretty good. And Buckner's there. Let's say, yeah, it's

1622
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: pretty really well for that team until they weren't anymore.

1623
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: But you know you need Matt Ryan to still be

1624
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Manageable division. All right, well kind of you've

1625
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: taken over you know, your extensions you're gonna be late.

1626
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: What do you need to do pick up John from

1627
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: his barbershop or waiting outside the barbershop for ninety minutes. No,

1628
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: I have to take the dogs to that appointment. But

1629
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 1: it's like a logistic or they is there an illness

1630
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: or they just just they have to get like blood

1631
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 1: worked up. When you said blitzen blitz, seeing that the

1632
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the show, I thought you were saying blitz

1633
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 1: in your dog who slept in a bed with we

1634
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: still do sleep. I do love how authentically those dogs

1635
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: are your children. Oh my god, they are. They're going

1636
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 1: to give them stickers when they get back from the

1637
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: doctor's bravery when they have surgery. I was sleeping on

1638
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,600
Speaker 1: your couch and like one of your dogs, it was

1639
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: so dark I couldn't tell. Came and licked my nose

1640
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: and then left a little bit later. That was probably

1641
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe so yeah friendly. Thank you, Colleen. You're welcome down

1642
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: for all that you do, for being part of the

1643
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: team both now and tomorrow. Congratulations again, guys. This is

1644
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:21,799
Speaker 1: a huge day, and we celebrated with a bloated ninety

1645
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 1: minute episode of Around the NFL. But now you know

1646
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: what's going on. In our league as we had into

1647
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: the darkest part of the offseason. Thank you again to

1648
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 1: all the listeners. Thank you Chris Wesley, wherever you are

1649
