27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's doing well on this food Gaza Friday. You

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: had a good week, You got a smile on your face.

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: The weekend is here or right around the corner, or

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: maybe not. Maybe you work weekends and you had a

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: good week growing around. But I just watched the first

32
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: half of the Eagle Patriot game. The Eagles, I mean,

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: don't really play anybody, so there's not much to take

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: away there. Something jumped out to me with the Patriots

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: and their core situation that just has me shaking my head.

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons, I think, are in a pretty unique

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: situation in terms of the pressure on the team for

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: someone that just has a first year head coach, right

39
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: or you know he's coached before, but you know what

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is his first year with the team.

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: I saw Mike Greenberg was on with McAfee and made

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: a comment about Jerry Jones and the Cowboys spending over

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: the last decade. I honestly couldn't believe it when I

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: heard it, but then I did a little digging and

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty eye opening. And it's something I always say,

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: I judge you not by words, but by actions in life.

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: And I think this is something that probably doesn't get

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: talked about enough. And I think there's a narrative with

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and how much money they have and how

50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: much they would spend if a cap didn't exist, And

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's really a giant fugazi because it's

52
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: not actually true by the way they operate. And I'll

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: hit you with a fugazi Friday as well as the

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: middle Cooff mail bag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: fire in those dms, get your questions answered here on

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: the show and uh yeah. The plan next week, I'm

57
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna do something with Colin on Sunday and then I

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: think put it out before we're gonna record before the

59
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: games Sunday night, there's bo Nick starting against the Packers,

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: So Nick Jordan Love Niners play the Saints not quite

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: sure how many starters for the Niners are gonna play,

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: but I would imagine the Saints play their starters a

63
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: little bit, especially because it didn't join practice. So I'll

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: probably do a podcast after that and react to whatever

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: we see in those two games. So yeah, and you

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: guys can keep firing in those dms. We'll do mail

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: bags next week as well, so at John Middlecoff subscribe

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: to the podcast if you listen on Collins. Also, everything

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: we do is up on the YouTube channels to go

70
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: check that out. And yeah, we got We had podcasts

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: all week, so if you missed any, we just go

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: to the feed press play. But before we dive into

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: some football, you know, I got to tell you about

74
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: my friends, my partners, and the official ticketing gap of

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: this podcast Game Time. Been using them for a long

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: time watching these football games. If do you want to

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: go to a football game this fall, Going to an

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: NFL game is fun. Going to a college game is

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: even more fun because of the atmosphere. Obviously, tailgating is

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: just an event. It gives you something to do on

81
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: a Saturday or Sunday. I've been to a lot of

82
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: NFL games over the years, and when you get when

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: you get lucky and you get a good one, I

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: mean you don't even get lucky. Most games in the

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: NFL are relatively close, and there's nothing quite like it. Concerts,

86
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: comedy shows, they have you covered, flash deals, great prices,

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: easy to search, the venue where you want to sit.

94
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the preseason, it's changed dramatically.

95
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: A small percentage of teams play starting players, even though

96
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: they have a new offensive coordinator and new terminology. I'm

97
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: sure I don't have a problem with the Eagles not

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: rolling out Lane Johnson, Jalen Hurt, Saquon AJ Brown, DeVante

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Smith totally get it. Not what Andy Reid or Belichick

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: or some of these other coaches do with veteran players,

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: but that's been their philosophy. I'm not gonna argue against it.

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: So there wasn't much to take away from Philly Kenny Pickett,

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: who I actually think, I mean, he was all over

104
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: the place in this game, playing with backup random linemen,

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: kind of running for his life. I think that's an

106
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: upgrade from what they had last year with Marcus Mariota.

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, your backup quarterback,

108
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: when you're paying your starting quarterback of premium, ideally doesn't

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: factor in much throughout the season. So the Eagle season

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: is gonna go, assuming their defense is gonna be better

111
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: with Fangio, which it will be. How Jalen plays and

112
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: how the offense plays, so we won't know really how

113
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: that is until we get to regular season games and

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: their first one Friday Night in Brazil against the Backers.

115
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: When you look at the Patriots, Jacoby Brissett is thirty

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: one years old. He started forty eight games in his

117
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: career forty eight games, so I mean that's several seasons

118
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: worth of starting. He's also backed up players like Tom Brady,

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: so he's a lot of experience in the regular season

120
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: and in the preseason. And this is a team who

121
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: even they know isn't gonna be that good this year.

122
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: That's why they just traded one of their better players.

123
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: You could argue their most talented player, though he's a

124
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: little older. They got rid of them. Why they're resetting

125
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: their deck. To me, starting Jacoby Brissette and playing him

126
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: in preseason games, especially for three series, is laughable. I mean,

127
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: what are you doing. He does not need the reps.

128
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: It's like, we're getting ready for the season to do

129
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: what win three games? And he looked like Jacoby looked

130
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: through an awful pick in the red zone that hit

131
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the DV Maddox in the hands. I mean, just a

132
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: terrible pick. Got news for you? Jacoby turns the ball over.

133
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: This is a time when you have this project quarterback

134
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: in Drake may who played six snaps in the first

135
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: season game through three passes. How is he not playing

136
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: at minimum a half? Why wouldn't you play him the

137
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: whole game? I don't need to see Bailey's appy play.

138
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: We've seen that the previous couple years. This time of

139
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: the year, for a guy who ideally you don't even

140
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: want to play in the regular season, get him reps,

141
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: let him sink or swim to start to play Jacoby Brissette.

142
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: To me, the Patriots are taking a lot of shit.

143
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people think they don't know what they're doing,

144
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: and that the head coach, and now that the crafts

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: have a very very strong hand in what's going on,

146
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: they're about to get really humbled. And you'd be like John,

147
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: they suck last year with Pelichick. I'm not acting like

148
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: it's been going well, but to roll out Jacoby Brissett

149
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: like he needs these reps, Like I'm sorry, start the

150
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: regular season, just let them roll. But shouldn't this be

151
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: a time to get this young player who is your

152
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: future all the reps humanly possible, because once the regular

153
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: season starts, at least up until you bench Jacoby, which

154
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: feels inevitable, he's not taking any of those first team

155
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: reps deson chance. He's out with the scout team running

156
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the opposing offenses scheme. That's what he'll be doing. That's

157
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: usually in the NFL what backup quarterbacks do. That doesn't

158
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: mean you can't work on your craft and everything, but

159
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: you you are not repping your own offense once you

160
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: go to team periods in the National Football League. So

161
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: and I saw Lewis Riddick tweeted this, like Jacoby's third

162
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: series put Drake may in the game. That's the whole

163
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: point of this. None of this matters. This is all

164
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: irrelevant in terms of score, in terms of individual plays,

165
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: but it does matter for the repetitions for younger players,

166
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: and it does matter for the growth of someone who

167
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: you invested a boatload into. The Giants were willing to

168
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: trade you a bunch other teams were interested in trading up.

169
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: You're like, no, which I support? You? Like this player?

170
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: He plays a position in which you need. They mentioned

171
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: on the broadcast when he scored on a keeper to

172
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: score that you know, obviously not comparing him to Tom Brady,

173
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: but you know one day, when this guy's a starting quarterback,

174
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: it will add an element to their quarterback that they

175
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: haven't really had over twenty five years. A mobile guy. Now,

176
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: there's more to playing quarterback than mobility. But let him

177
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: get out there. Let him rep it out with at

178
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: least like high end guys, even if they're not starters,

179
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: guys that you might see on a potential Sunday down

180
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: the road. Because it is inevitable. Jacoby were sett it's

181
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: gonna get bench this year. I would bet a lot

182
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: of money that that's gonna happen. And I would tend

183
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: to lean with it's gonna happen sooner than later, So

184
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw this guy out without repping much once

185
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: the regular season starts up until that moment, in a

186
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: shitty situation, your offensive line sucks, your team's probably gonna

187
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: have a losing record, and you're not even giving him

188
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: starts in the preseason games. That don't mean shit because

189
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: you want to get what Jacoby a sweat. I don't

190
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: get it. I just do not understand it. And listen,

191
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm out on the Patriots shortened the Patriots, just big picture,

192
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: not that I'm anti Drake may. He showed like ball

193
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: was a little wobbly. It looked like a lot going on.

194
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Of course, I mean he fucking played six snaps a

195
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: week ago. This guy's not used to being on the

196
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: field with other teams in the National Football League, So

197
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Makes no sense to me, and

198
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: I think this shows that you just see an operation

199
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: that feels a little bit over their head. Okay, let's

200
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: talk about the Atlanta Falcons, who are in a really,

201
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: really rare spot. Most times in the NFL. College football

202
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: is different because I can sign a big name coach,

203
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: they get paid a ton, and the expectations are super high.

204
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: Right the moment Brian Kelly goes down as you Lincoln

205
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Riley to USC that type stuff happens Jim Harbaugh in Michigan,

206
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: the big name guys moved the needle, and you expect

207
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: to win, and you expect to win immediately. In the NFL,

208
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: when you take over a job, usually the team's terrible,

209
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: they've lost, and you kind of get an open runway

210
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: year one. If you win, it's all gravy. Remember Andy

211
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Reid took over the Chiefs, they drafted number one, had

212
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: him in the playoffs. Next year. People were like, damn.

213
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: But for the most part, you're not expected to win

214
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: your one. Last year Jonathan Gannon and the Cardinals, everyone

215
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna sucks. Why Dave Ball got so

216
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: much credit. You're like, this team's honey good takes in

217
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But this year, for example the Patriots, if

218
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: Drod Mayo were to win five games, he'd get Coach

219
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: of the Year votes. If he wins two or three games,

220
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: no one with a brain is going he should have

221
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: done more. That team sucks, right, because usually when you

222
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: take over a new team, the team is any good

223
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: Callahan and Tennessee he wins eight to nine or nine

224
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: and eight, you'd be like, that's a pretty good job.

225
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: But that's not the case in Atlanta. And I understand

226
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: position coaches and coordinators ambition to move up. It's very

227
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: lucrative going from the quarterback coach the coordinator doubles your salary.

228
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: And while you're making a lot of money, let's say

229
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred grand is a quarterback coach, it's a lot

230
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: different making one point seventy five million dollars a year.

231
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Just like if you're making two million dollars a defense

232
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Rams, it's a lot different making nine

233
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: million dollars as the head coach. So I get it

234
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: in money and power. Given that you don't have to

235
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: take orders from anybody. You are the boss. You dictate

236
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: everything football wise in your organization. How we play, what

237
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: schemes we run, when we practice, who you want to practice,

238
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: who you want to play. It's it's a lot different.

239
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: You're no longer you know you're the top guy in

240
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: the organization chart when it comes to the football team.

241
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: The GM doesn't dictate the lineup, dictate, doesn't dictate practice,

242
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: doesn't dictate the schemes. That's not the way it works.

243
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know the playbook most of the time.

244
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: So I get guys wanting to do that, and usually

245
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: you get all this money and you get a chance

246
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: to take a deep breath. If the Atlanta Falcons don't

247
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: make the playoffs this year, Raheem Morris head coach, hasn't

248
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: been won in a long time, where he kind of

249
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: flamed out in Tampa. Obviously older, more mature. Now it

250
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: is going to be viewed as a major failure. They

251
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: just traded a third round pick for Matt Judah, which

252
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: is the type of move you do around the trade

253
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: deadline because you think you're a Super Bowl contender. Now,

254
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: they made that trade deadline super Bowl contender move in

255
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the middle of August, which I'm not against, but you

256
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: better be good because that those second day picks are

257
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: pretty valuable. And they also signed Justin Simmons, multiple time

258
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Pro Bowler, former Denver bronco today to like seven and

259
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: a half million dollars. All guarantee. You do those type

260
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: moves when you think you're gonna be good, and I'm

261
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: telling you they think they're gonna be good. The betting markets.

262
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's betting on them to win the division and be

263
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: a playoff team, which is fine, but based on previous history,

264
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: like they've been pretty average the last three years. Last

265
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: year was a big embarrassment, and you might just say, well,

266
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: their quarterback play sucked. Maybe it's just maybe that's it's

267
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: just that deep. It was just their quarterback play. But

268
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: there is tangible pressure on this team to make the

269
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. Anything less, you don't have to win

270
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: the division, but you better be playing a game on

271
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: wild card weekend. If you were not, it just is

272
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: a failure. And that can't usually be said about first

273
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: year head coaching situations, so it's kind of unique. And listen,

274
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: Runnie Morris backed it up with saying, we have a

275
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: massive coaching staff. They're like why, because we're grooming people

276
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: to take over jobs when we win and they get plucked.

277
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Usually people don't talk like that, And I got no

278
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: problem talking to talk if you're walking the walk. But

279
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm interested to watch this team play. They definitely have

280
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: some talent, but we'll see that better come through or

281
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be problems. The other day I was at

282
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: the gym. I look up and they had McAfee on

283
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: and Mike Greenberg was on her and he was random

284
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: raven but it obviously it's just one of the big TVs.

285
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: I didn't hear what he said. Then I get home

286
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: and I scroll on Instagram and I see the clip

287
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: and I watched it, and Greenberg kind of went on

288
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: this rant that about Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys,

289
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: and he said, listen, no one can argue Jerry's fame,

290
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: his impact on the league for marketing, and how powerful

291
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are as a brand, and the size of

292
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: their fan base. But it cannot be argued. It is

293
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: just objectively true. It's a fact that the Cowboys are

294
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: financially cheap when it comes to paying players. I was like, damn,

295
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: he's like, no team over the last eight to ten

296
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: years has spent more actual cash on players than the

297
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Seriously, So this morning I went and I

298
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: googled it and I was reading about it because you know,

299
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: in football, the salary cap one hundred million, two hundred million,

300
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty million. You can spend more actual cash

301
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: than the salary cap. I get front load contracts, I

302
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: can pay you huge signing bonuses and then it goes

303
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: on books as I amortized it over the life of

304
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: the deal, so you can and Jake Rosenberg, who was

305
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: on my podcast, discuss this. If your owner is all in,

306
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: you can manipulate the salary cap with actual money, actual money,

307
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: and turns out the Cowboys don't do that at all.

308
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: From twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen, the league average in

309
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: cash spending over sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen for four seasons

310
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: was seven hundred and four million dollars. The Cowboys were

311
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: dead last with six hundred and thirty four point four

312
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: million dollars over the last three seasons twenty one, twenty two,

313
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: and twenty three, and the Cowboys have been good. Dallas

314
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: was thirtieth in the NFL. The league average was six

315
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven million dollars. The Cowboys spent almost

316
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: eight ninety million dollars less, with five hundred and thirty

317
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: four million. To put it in perspective two teams. They're

318
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: obviously the big rival in the Eagles and a team

319
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: that they've played twice in the playoffs. The Eagles were

320
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: tenth most cash spending at six hundred and fifty five million,

321
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: so spend eighty million dollars more. The Niners were six

322
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four million, seventh in the league. And

323
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: I started thinking, you know, Dabbo takes a lot of

324
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: shit because in his heyday, which wasn't that long ago,

325
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: and Clemson was kicking everybody's ass, transfer portal didn't exist,

326
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: and he had to draft in develop players, and he

327
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: recruited like he was Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, and

328
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: he had teams full of NFL players and they won

329
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: national championships. And then the world changed and the transfer

330
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: portal happened, and you could sign a guy from another

331
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: school who'd already played, and you didn't have to sit out.

332
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: And all the best teams now dabbling that now they

333
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: don't take Deon Sanders forty transfers. But what Ohio State

334
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: this year do? This year they took the starting safety

335
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: from Alabama who look like a future top fifteen pick.

336
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: What did Alabama do a couple of years ago? They

337
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: took this guy, James and Williams from Ohio State because

338
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: he couldn't crack the lineup becausey had so many sweet

339
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And then they just plugged a hole here

340
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: plugged the hole there, and Clemson has fallen behind. And

341
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: I started to think that Jerry. When Jerry became really famous,

342
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: right when he buys a team in eighty nine. Within

343
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: the next less than ten years, he's got three Super

344
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: Bowl rings, he has a household name in sports. He's

345
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: a famous rich guy. There are a lot of rich

346
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: people that you've never heard of. There are a lot

347
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: of people, not a lot, but there are people you know,

348
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: definitely in the nineties that had way more money than

349
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and you couldn't point out of a lineup.

350
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: And I wonder if back in the nineties, and this

351
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: goes back to the rules in the NFL of why

352
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: you need to put money into escrow because way back

353
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: in the day, they wanted to prove that if you

354
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: were going to sign this contract you actually had the money.

355
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: That's a stupid, outdated, archaic practice. We know teams have

356
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: the money now, but Jerry's in this mindset of like,

357
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to rob Peter to pay Paul because

358
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: in the nineties that would have been very, very risky. Obviously,

359
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: the salary cap got created what ninety three to ninety four,

360
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: Jerry hasn't changed his tactics. Obviously, Jerry pays his own guys,

361
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: but he made the comment we're all in, and he's

362
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: taken a lot of shit. Jerry's not all in because

363
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: to compete in this modern day NFL, you can use

364
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: cash to your advantage. The Dallas Cowboys were just valued

365
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: at ten billion dollars. Jerry is worth. I mean, I

366
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: can't even imagine how much cash that guy has in

367
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: the bank, how much money the Cowboys generate on a

368
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: yearly basis, and he's not using it to his advantage.

369
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: Part of having a successful business is reinvesting into that

370
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: business to keep growing it. And I do think it's

371
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: fair after looking at some of these numbers to go.

372
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys have fallen behind, and it's not because

373
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: they don't have the resources. They have the cash. Whether

374
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: it's Jerry's old school mindset or it's just his unwillingness

375
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: to part with some of his money and up upfront

376
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: bonuses to certain players. But that's embarrassing. That should not happen.

377
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: They should be near the top in cash spending forever.

378
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: All we've ever heard. If there was and shit, I'm

379
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: guilty of this. If there was no salary cap, Jerry

380
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: would buy all the players. Then you look at the

381
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: data and you go, yeah, I don't know if that's true.

382
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't I think Jeffrey Lurie would be much more

383
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: inclined to buy the players. The Cleveland Browns and New

384
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: York Jets were one and two over the last three

385
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: years in cash spending. You'd argue those two teams would

386
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: be much more willing to cut enormous amounts of cash

387
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: to players. I don't know if Jerry would because you

388
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: and this is what I think, so many people are

389
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: so phony in politics and living in California for so long,

390
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: like everyone talks a big game. I don't give a

391
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: shit what you say or what you post. I judge

392
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: you on how you act, so you can talk one way.

393
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: If you're living a different way, I think you're a fraud.

394
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: I think you're a complete phony. And Jerry has this

395
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: kind of way that we judge him and look at

396
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: him of like just this gun slinger throwing around his coins.

397
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: He's just paying this guy, paying that guy making shit happen.

398
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Turns out no, he's not really, And a lot of

399
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: other owners are spending way more actual cash. Salary cap

400
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: can be whatever the contracts can be whatever, say it

401
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: all the time. Average per years can be super high.

402
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: Everyone's like average per year, how about this average per you?

403
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. How much money do you

404
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: actually have to pay the player? You can say, hey, John,

405
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: you know it's I hear you're making X per year.

406
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I've actually only received this, so what

407
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: what does that mean? And I get why agents love

408
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: saying that I got my guy twenty seven million a year.

409
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, signing bonus was ten million dollars, and

410
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: the guarantees are not very high. If he does not produce,

411
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: they can cut them after a year. I just thought

412
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: looking at these numbers was pretty crazy. And I don't

413
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: know if Jerry's legitimately actually cheap, which I think is

414
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: fair to say after looking at these numbers. Stuck in

415
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: this old school practice of this mindset, Like when he

416
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: bought the Cowboys, he didn't have much money. Hard to

417
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: say that, because he's got hundreds of millions of dollars

418
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: put into a yacht, so he's not afraid to spend it.

419
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: He flies around a helicopter and I'm pro Jerry Jones,

420
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: but he ain't spending money like these other guys when

421
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: it comes to his team. I saw ESPN fired RG three.

422
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: I found RG three pretty annoying. I also Sam Ponder

423
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: got fired as well. I read she made seven million

424
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: dollars or excuse me, seven figures, so she made over

425
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: a million dollars to host and the NFL show in

426
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: the morning. That seems crazy to me. I mean, who

427
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: is signing these contracts for? And I'm not anti Sam Ponder,

428
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: but like what I thought, RG three was making seven

429
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: figures too. It's like, who is giving out this money?

430
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: These people don't work in jobs to generate revenue. You

431
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: could replace them with someone else and no one would notice.

432
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: Like I get why you pay Tom Brady or Troykman.

433
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: You feel comfortable their name. But for the most part,

434
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: people that call games, they can be replaced. If Penn

435
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: State's playing Michigan, regardless who's calling the game, I mean,

436
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: obviously it can't be terrible. But when it's a guy

437
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: of like RG three's level, like no one cares he's

438
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: calling college football games. He's last whatever three or four years,

439
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: It's like you can replace them with whoever. No one

440
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: would notice. Some of these people running some of these

441
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: operations are fucking morons and last but not at least,

442
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Fugazi Friday. It kind of hit me the other day

443
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: I I don't think there's a service that you can

444
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 1: pay for that I don't pay for from obviously you know,

445
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: YouTube TV, to Netflix, to all the hits, the Amazon Primes,

446
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: Apple TV. But then the paramount plus is the max

447
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: is of the Hulus, the Peacocks. I mean, shit, I

448
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: got it all that there is not a streaming service

449
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: that has content that your boy doesn't have a credit

450
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: card information on file for. And it kind of hit

451
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: me the other day. I was like, laying in bed,

452
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: probably nine to nine thirty, we're looking for something to watch.

453
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, there is never in the history of my life,

454
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: my time on this planet, and I've watched a lot

455
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: of television in my life, a lot of movies, a

456
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of shows, especially at night. I'm like, I can't

457
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: find anything to watch. How can I pay? Who knows?

458
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not doing the books on a monthly

459
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: basis on what I'm paying, but it's my guests would

460
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: be I don't know, three four hundred dollars. Couldn't find

461
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: anything to watch? Now, there is stuff to watch. It's like,

462
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: I don't really want to watch that. I don't really

463
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: want to watch that, And I think back to simpler times.

464
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Let's just go fifteen years ago and listen. Cable was

465
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: screwing us, not necessarily me, because the bundle for me

466
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: made sense. I've watched a lot of sports, both screwing

467
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people that didn't watch sports were getting

468
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: just railroaded. So I have no sympathy for that thing

469
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: just disintegrating. But in two thousand, let's just pick a

470
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: year two thousand and seven, you would just sit on

471
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: your couch or sit at your house on a night

472
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: but there's like no sports on or whatever, and just

473
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: find something to watch. There'd be a movie. They ah,

474
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: they're forty five minutes in a shaw Shank for all.

475
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: Old School is on for damn. I love Sean Connery

476
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: and the Rock and you just watched like forty five

477
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: minutes of it. I've said this before, but like the

478
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: one negative with YouTube TV, who I'm a huge fan

479
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: of and love it a lot, you don't scroll, so

480
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: I would never just see there's some movie play on

481
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: a station, right. I don't run into Shashank anymore if

482
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: I want to watch Shashank, I have to go seek

483
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: it out because YouTube is so genius. It knows like

484
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: the five channels I watch, it's just you know ESPN,

485
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: if a game's on golf channel CNBC, and then during

486
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: football season just the football games or you know, during

487
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: I guess the NBA finals whatever. It just it aggregates

488
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: that for me, I rarely have to go far. In

489
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: Food Network, I don't even have to go that far.

490
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 1: I just see what I'm gonna watch and I click it.

491
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: I never scroll, And I was always old school, like

492
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: I used to like the guide and see what was on.

493
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: But there's not really any need to do that any

494
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: And I think, and obviously when a good show comes out,

495
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: that Presumed Innocence show that was on Apple TV that

496
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: was entertaining. I watched the show last night on Peacock,

497
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: like The Biker Gang. I think how Hardy was in it.

498
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: It was kind of entertaining. I fell asleep halfway through.

499
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't that great really, but it's just like you

500
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: really sometimes got a force like I guess I'll try

501
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: this out. It's like I couldn't have more options. I

502
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: have about seventeen apps on the home screen just provide

503
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: me with unlimited content. Yet when I'm looking, if there's

504
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: not like a super hot or popular television show or

505
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: like some documentary that everyone's talking about, you just keep

506
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: scrolling and I don't really want watch that. I don't

507
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: really want to watch that, you know, scroll that, like,

508
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: how is this possible? How is this possible? And yet

509
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: it is? Okay, Let's do a little Fugazi Friday mailbag

510
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: at John middlecop Instagram. Fire into those dms. Big fan

511
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: of the show, watching on the tube YouTube for a while.

512
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: As a diehard Eagles fan, I feel like we are

513
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: honestly in a bad spot coaching wise. Fangio and Kellen

514
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: Moore both obviously have long term head coaching aspirations, and

515
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: if we have an eight to ten eight out of

516
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: ten season, as in we lose in the divisional or

517
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: NFC title game, I think losing in the NFC title

518
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: game is better than eight out of ten. It's obviously

519
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: not a ten out of ten. If winning the Super

520
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: Bowl is an eleven out of ten, Megan to the

521
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is probably nine and a half. I'd say

522
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: Megan to the NFC Championship Game at minimum is eight

523
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: and a half. Nine as someone who worked there and

524
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: assuming a decent season and not a total collapse, when

525
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: obviously Sirianni would be canned. How do you think the

526
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: best way to handle head coaching position is going forward?

527
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: Do you think we have a standout offense this year

528
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: there's any chance Larry would evaluate Kellen Moore and get

529
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: rid of Sirianni or with Fangio if the defense is elite.

530
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: One thing you said about Fangio having head coaching aspirations, like,

531
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: I think those days are done. I think Fangio and

532
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: head coaching that shit sailed. He got a shot a

533
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: little later in life and it didn't even come remotely

534
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: close to working. That Fangio's never going to be another

535
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL. I feel pretty confidence saying that,

536
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: And I'm a Vic Fangio guy. I think excellent higher

537
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: for you guys, But I don't think you have to

538
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: worry about him. I think the question mark is the

539
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: head coach and the offensive coordinator. And if the offensive

540
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: coordinator has a lot of success with Jalen with the offense,

541
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: they're explosive. Spend a lot of money on these cats.

542
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: It's a pretty natural transition. If they feel comfortable with

543
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: him kind of leading the group right, which they'd have

544
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: to I guess project a little bit, but I would

545
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: say that he would have a strong chance. And I

546
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: was texting with someone the other night, a buddy of mine,

547
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: about hard knocks and maybe I mentioned this also on

548
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: a previous mailbag. But who would I hire? Like if

549
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: I was just needed a coach this offseason, based on

550
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: what we know right now, I think I'd hire Mike Vrabel.

551
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: I'd hire Vrabel over Belichick in the sense of he's

552
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: just way younger and I'm a Belichick supporter, and people

553
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: that act like he's the village idiot now I think

554
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: are complete morons. But it is going to be twenty

555
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: twenty five. The guy got in the league in nineteen

556
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: seventy five, So I would lean Rabel if the hard

557
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: Bob Rose, if Tomlin, Dan Campbell, like, I'm pretty confident

558
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: Vrabel can be a good head coach. Obviously, in a

559
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: perfect world, you know you hired the next McVeigh Shanahan,

560
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, Ben Johnson seems terrified

561
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. How could I hire that guy?

562
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: Play scared? I dare you to take that charger's bet

563
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you'll lose your money. They have zero weapons. I love

564
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: it when someone threatens you, when you publicly say you're

565
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: gonna make a bet, like I dare you to take

566
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: that bet. Like guys, I've been gambling for I don't know,

567
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: almost twenty five years if you count sneak it into

568
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: the Indian casino when I was like fifteen sixteen years old.

569
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: Been gambling on sports now for fifteen plus. You lose bets,

570
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's part of the deal. It's part of

571
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: the fun. Get your juices flown. You don't win them all. Hell,

572
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: you're a legend if you hit like fifty five percent

573
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: of your sports betting. So yeah, I could bet, could

574
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: lose the money, also could win it. It's part of

575
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: why you gamble. I think there's nothing stupider than that one,

576
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: Like I dare you to do that. No, I'm gonna

577
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: do it where I was until Herbert got hurt. Now

578
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: it kind of freaked me out. But like you have

579
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: understand when you gamble, you're not afraid to lose the money.

580
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: Part of gambling. If I didn't want to lose the money,

581
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't gamble it. I know, you're a fan of

582
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: betting on season wins or division winners, I might change

583
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: my tune. I think I'm gonna do it this year.

584
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: I got a couple that I'm looking at. The Bills,

585
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: the Saints, and those Fresno State Bulldogs. Also tempted to

586
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: dabble a little on Oregon to win the Natty. I

587
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: kind of want to have a long term team to

588
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: win the Natty, but I don't know. I haven't decided

589
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: on that one. There seems to be a lot of

590
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: juice in a lot of these odds. Compared to the

591
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: MVPER Comeback Player of the Year, A lot of winners

592
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: of the award never seem very chalky either. Even parlaying

593
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: the team to make the playoffs with the Coach of

594
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: the Year seems like a worthwhile long bet. For example,

595
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson winning Coach of the Year doesn't seem like

596
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: a stretch. Parlay it with the Jags to make the

597
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: playoffs and it would turn fifty dollars into eight grand. Thanks.

598
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: If you ever land in New Zealand, you will love

599
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: to Tasmania. Plenty of top links golf courses here. Yeah,

600
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: with shit love links golf. I do think it's difficult, right,

601
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: Like think about last year who won Coach of the

602
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: Year Stefanski, Well they didn't win the division. Who won

603
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: it the year before. I know what you're saying, and

604
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: I trust me. No one loves a fifty dollars bet

605
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: to win eight grand like your boy. I couldn't bet

606
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: on golf, just like get super aggressive. So I put

607
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars and I did two fifty

608
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: dollars parlays, or actually I think a seventy five dollars,

609
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: a twenty five dollars and a fifty dollars parlay. One

610
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: was nineteen K, one was twelve K, and one was

611
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: a K. I need Maxiholm, but to play well this weekend.

612
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind Tommy Fleetwood winning either or more Kyle

613
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: will Get and Billy Horseell top tens in top twenties.

614
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: But I think it's it sounds a lot easier with

615
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: that strategy than it actually working, because when you just

616
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: look at the last two winners, Stayble and Stefanski, they

617
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't even come close to winning their division. I mean

618
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago the Giants day ball was

619
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: the right choice. How many games did the Eagles. What

620
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: was the difference? What were they nine and eight? Would

621
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles go like, were they fourteen and three that year?

622
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: Talking about five game difference? So I hear you, and

623
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: it sounds great when you say it out loud, and

624
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: it sounds even better. You go to DraftKings and you

625
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: type in the two, You're like, holy shit, fifty to

626
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: win eight g's And then they're like, what's the likelihood

627
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: of this happening? It's just not very high. Multi year listener,

628
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: longtime fan, got a question that might stir up the listeners.

629
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: I go on Twitter and everyone acts this is about CJ.

630
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: Stroud like it's a no brainer. He's throwing five thousand

631
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: yards and fifty tds. Le Let me remind you he

632
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: had twenty three touchdowns last year and five in one game.

633
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: Let's throw in the five to ten percent chance that

634
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: Diggs ruins chemistry. I know we like the player and

635
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: love the coach, but can we damper the expectations for

636
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: this guy? They bolstered the run game with mixing and

637
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: won't have to be in shootouts. How do these outrageous

638
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: predictions make you feel? It's a good question. I I

639
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: think Tank dell is I put his over under on touchdowns,

640
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: assuming he plays seventeen games at like thirty. But I'm

641
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: with you people acting like it's gonna be fifty. The

642
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: other thing is Dimiko has said I've seen him say

643
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: this multiple times. Digs will not ruin our chemistry, AKA

644
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: it gets weird. We will cut him like there is

645
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: no rope here that there is no margin for. Yeah, well,

646
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: just he's having a rough rough week here with the boys.

647
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: That ain't gonna fly. It ain't gonna fly with Demiko,

648
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna fly with Casserio. They took relatively

649
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: low risked situation, but I do not envision them letting

650
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: him cause problems now, it's part of taking him in.

651
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: He gets emotional. I will say this about Diggs. For

652
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: an emotional player that a lot of people think is

653
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, he has been a winning player. He

654
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: was part of winners. He won in Minnesota, he won

655
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo as one of the better players on the team.

656
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: So sometimes you get these guys that have this negative

657
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: kind of just aura as I think the kids are

658
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: saying that this negative reputation and they're from they're just

659
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: losers because they've been around losing and they just that's

660
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: who they are. This guy's kind of a winner. Not

661
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championships, but like, this guy's going to the

662
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: playoffs every single This guy's playing in a ton of

663
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: big games. I went to the Niners Vikings playoff game

664
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: in two thousand and what year was that twenty twenty.

665
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: First drive of the game passed the digs PI digg digs,

666
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: touchdown digs only points they scored all game. It was

667
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: like bang bang boom. It's like, ugh, how are the

668
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: Niners gonn cover this guy? He's I I wouldn't worry

669
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: as much about him because one, I think he's either

670
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: got to shape in it or he shapes out. There's

671
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: no begging him to stay. You know why they don't

672
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: need him? Tank Dell, dudes, the star, Nico Collins like

673
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: six three two twenty baller mail back hot take. Trent

674
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Williams shouldn't be given a new contract. He was a

675
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: liability in the Super Bowl and his age has shown. Uh.

676
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: I will say this, he kind of has the Niners

677
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: by the balls end of the day. They don't need Ayuk.

678
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean they want Ayuk. He helps them. He's a

679
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: really good player. But if push came to shove, they

680
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: could trade him. They can't do that with Trent Williams.

681
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: Even if Trent Williams isn't quite what he once was,

682
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: he is so much better then you can combine all

683
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: their offensive lineman. He's not as good as that guy.

684
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: I just think he's got him in a weird spot now.

685
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's a little older. He had a

686
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: bad game. He also had a lot of great games.

687
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: So you don't judge a man on the one game.

688
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: I think what concerns one. I've heard he's asking for

689
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: a lot of money, as he should. I mean, if

690
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm him, I want like at minimum these next year,

691
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: like two years, sixty million dollars all guaranteed. Whether we

692
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: just add more guaranteed to the money guarantee at all,

693
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: but like that's what I would need. What are they

694
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: gonna say? No, who you gonna play with? Jalen Moore?

695
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? That's where he really has

696
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: him by the balls. So you just say no, and

697
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: then you just hope. This is the hard part for

698
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: the Niners. They could just drive a hard bargain on

699
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: both guys. You know what, Brandon, you gonna play on

700
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollar contract, fifth year option. You know what, Trent,

701
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna play on your twenty million dollar contract. Name

702
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: me a human being behind Leveon Bell in the history

703
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: of the world. Maybe Dave Chappelle, whoever gives up a

704
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: combined thirty four million dollars, it wouldn't happen. But you

705
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: get angry guys who are two of your best players.

706
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: So this is just it's it's a complicated situation. You know,

707
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: it really is a question for the dog Pound. Do

708
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: you think Deshaun Watson has motivation anymore? Would love for

709
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Stefanski to have a legit quarterback in his system. Also,

710
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: if you're ever in Virginia Beach, let's get a round in.

711
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's something special about just people saying, hey,

712
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: if you're ever here, play golf. More than likely I

713
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: might never be there, and if I was, I probably

714
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't remember the DM that I read during the mailbag.

715
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: But there's there's such a community aspect, like, Hey, come

716
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: to Arizon almost play some golf. Hey you're coming to

717
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: I had a guy reach out, Hey, you're gonna be

718
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: in Nashville in a couple of weeks, hit me up.

719
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: Let's play golf. You know, I know, we got a

720
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: bunch of wedding shit to do, but I'm gonna play

721
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: three rounds cause your boys already sneaking one in on Wednesday.

722
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: This is a picture. It's like someone with pebble beach.

723
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: Long time listener, I have a golf mailbag question. Thought

724
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: about hearing your open take about the tour playing more

725
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: link style golf. On the fourth of July, my buddy

726
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: and I played Chambers Bay. That's a course in Seattle area.

727
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: During our round, our caddie was saying that after the

728
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen us opened, the USGA was upset with the

729
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: course and how tough it played. Chamber does not have

730
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: any major PGA events lined up for the next five

731
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: ish years. The tour could easily start playing a tournament

732
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: yearly there and give the fans TV audience a tough

733
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: link style course without super long travel or changing TV times. Plus,

734
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: it's downright gorgeous. He took me some pictures. Looks pretty awesome.

735
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: You know the problem. Let's use football as an example.

736
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: Do you think the Eagles? I was thinking about this

737
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: day in the shower, because whatever happens in the Eagles

738
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: Packers game, we're gonna have, you know, if the Packers

739
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: defense still looks crappy or something's off with Jalen, There're

740
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of takes flying from this podcast here.

741
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: But they're playing in Brazil, So is there a chance

742
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: that it is just really weird for one of the teams,

743
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: one of the players, some jet black whatever, just a

744
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: game in Brazil. But why are they playing in Brazil?

745
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: Because there is a governing body that is chosen by

746
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: the owners, starting with the Roger, who tries to do

747
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: things in the best interests of the business. So you

748
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: have cohesion from the top, even though no one's always

749
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna agree. If I was on the Eagles or I

750
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: was on the Packers, the last thing in the fucking

751
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: world I'd want to do is to play a football

752
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: game in Brazil. I'd be like, this is so stupid.

753
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: Why couldn't we just play it? I don't know in Philadelphia,

754
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: But the league who ultimately is trying to make the

755
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: most money so the owners and the players profit, that's

756
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: all they care about. And you can say sometimes that's

757
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: not the right mindset to have, but it's the one

758
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: they have. Yet in golf, there is no cohesion. You

759
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: have all these independent contractors. Everyone complains, no one wants

760
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: to do this. Everyone bitches and moans about this course

761
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: is too hard. You know, we don't want to travel

762
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: to Europe to play the World Tour live, guys and all.

763
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: It's like we got too many cooks in the kitchen.

764
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: Say what you want about commissioners, and they take a

765
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: lot of heat. There's one guy making a decision. It

766
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: is everyone has a suggestion. It is much harder to

767
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: make a decision, and in golf, no one ever makes

768
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: a decision. Yeah, and all these other entities, you know,

769
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: in team sports, it's like, we're doing this whether it

770
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: works or not, but we're gonna try it out. The

771
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: Ncason Tournament, which everyone's circle jerked on Twitter. You couldn't

772
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: have paid me to watch, but at least they you

773
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna do this. We're all in. Everyone's

774
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: in and goes like, yeah, we'll try this. But then

775
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: now it doesn't really work, and this guy's pissed off,

776
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: and Tiger doesn't want to do this even though he

777
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: doesn't even play anymore and he's forty eight years old.

778
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: It's like, what's going on? They just feel like they're

779
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: lost at sea, and in twenty twenty five, you know

780
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to get lost, cause you get lost,

781
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: might never see again. I will because I love it.

782
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: I was watching it today. But I'm not the minority,

783
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: or I'm not the majority. I'll promise you that much.

784
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Titans fan. Sadly. I know it's early, but

785
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: if Will levis let's just say league average, and the

786
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: Titans end up with drafting the middle of the pack,

787
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: would you look at drafting another quarterback, which this would

788
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: be the third quarterback drafted by us in the first

789
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: three rounds in three years, or would you look at

790
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: drafting more help, whether it would be offense or defense.

791
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: I heard you say it'll be in Nashville at the

792
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: end of August. If you have time, I highly recommend

793
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: playing gay Lord Springs only ten minutes from the airport,

794
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: and it's a beautiful link Style seventy two, Part seventy two.

795
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: I think I'm playing with the guy in business at

796
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: Brentwood Country Club. At least that's the plan of right now.

797
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: I might only have time for one round because I

798
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: got other shit to do. Ideally like to get two in.

799
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: I played there before. Someone DM me their remember there,

800
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: but I played when I went out for a bachelor

801
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: party at a place called Legends. My brother's a member

802
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: at a truon course and made a call and I

803
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: pretended I was Sam and I played there. It was

804
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: a pretty sweet track. The thing with Levis, It's funny. I

805
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: in the game the other night Will Levis will not slide.

806
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: He won't slide, and Vrabel used to drive him nuts.

807
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: Then in the preseason game, he lowered his shoulder against

808
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: this guy named de Winners from TCUs like Drake Greenlaw

809
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: two point zero. Not as good as Drake green Law yet,

810
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: but just runs around tries to kill people. It's like,

811
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: will you are going to get injured slide, bro? Like

812
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: what are you doing that to me? Is the first thing, Like,

813
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: you cannot not slide in the NFL. This is not

814
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: the Mountain West, this hell in the SEC like this

815
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: is all these guys will break your clapical, they will

816
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 1: break your arm. That's my first thing. Second, I don't

817
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: think anyone in the building cares about Malik Willis being

818
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: drafted whatever he was third round a couple of years ago.

819
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: That's irrelevant. They took will Levis in the second run

820
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: this new GM did. But if he's not good enough,

821
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: he's not good enough, and he's gonna get obviously a

822
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: long lease this year. He's gonna be the full time starter.

823
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: They've added offensive weapons. How good are you or do

824
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: you show any progress? Do you have any you know future?

825
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: Like is it something to keep developing and keep working with?

826
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: But to me, if he's average, I think he'd be

827
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: done because this new coaching staff has zero connection to him.

828
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: Zero love the pod and watch every night to know

829
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: if certain, if you could have kept one team in

830
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 1: a certain location, who would you have chosen? Chargers, San Diego, Raiders,

831
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: Oakland Rams and Saint Louis. To me, it's a no brainer.

832
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: You needed a team in La the stadium suite hosting

833
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Saint Louis stole the Rams from Los Angeles.

834
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: That wasn't your team, Lois. Los Angeles got their team back,

835
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 1: so I'm putting the Rams in Los Angeles. Oakland couldn't

836
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: function any longer. They're the only team in my lifetime

837
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: who has lost three teams in like under five years.

838
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: And you can bitch and moan and give me all

839
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: these different reasons for every team I don't give a

840
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: shit if it was one team, I'd hear you all

841
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: three teams next year. A place when I you know,

842
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: was in radio. The Warriors played there, the A's played there,

843
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders played there, and in twenty twenty five, none

844
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: of them will exist. The in and out down the

845
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: Street had to shut down. Why it's one of the

846
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: best businesses in all of California, because you get robbed NonStop.

847
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: That area is so shitty they had to go and

848
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: it's just it's not feasible. I would say Oakland, California,

849
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: would be one of the last places that have had

850
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: major sports teams that you would ever put a sports

851
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: team in in twenty twenty five. So I feel like

852
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders in Vegas is a no brainer. Vegas is

853
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: a booming and that stadium is awesome. It changed their franchise.

854
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: Obviously they lost, you know, the home crowd, but financially

855
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't function there and you couldn't function in the

856
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: area in which they were functioning. That Strip sixty six

857
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: in Hagenberger is just awful. I mean, it is an

858
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: absolute dump. So to me, it'd be the Chargers of

859
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: San Diego. But I don't think that that you know

860
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: people go, well, they ever go back. They're never going back.

861
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: They just spend hundreds of millions of dollars on this

862
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: new facility in southern California. They pay a dollar rent

863
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: with Kronkey. They're just never going back. First time, Mailbager,

864
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: you said you like the Saints to make the playoffs

865
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: this year, but are not a fan of Dennis Allen

866
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: or Derek Carr. Point at this point in time is

867
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: your career? What you're reasoning and trusting the Saints when

868
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: the two most important pieces of a franchise are a

869
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: big question mark. Well, Derek didn't play well. The first

870
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: half of last season. He played really really bad, And

871
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: the last half of the season, the last like five games,

872
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: he was really good. Well, this year he has an

873
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who's a real offensive coordinator and going to

874
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: run an offense that quarterbacks thrive in. In Clint Kobiek,

875
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't like Dennis Allen a relative to like the

876
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: top head coaches. But he is a good defensive coordinator

877
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: and they went nine to eight last year. Their defense

878
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: is going to be solid. Their offense was an embarrassment. Well,

879
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: if their offense isn't an embarrassment, and they're good on

880
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: defense because Dennis is a good defensive coordinator. Couldn't they

881
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: be a ten to eleven win team. I just think

882
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: it's possible. Now. Part of the reason I like the

883
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: bet is the value. You can just get good odds,

884
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: Like there aren't good odds on the Atlanta Falcons winning

885
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: the division, and on paper you're like, ah, this team's

886
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: way better. It's true, but you just don't get very

887
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: good odds. I like the Saints simply because they went

888
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: nine to eight last year. They were literally a game

889
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: away from being in the playoffs, and the odds are

890
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: like they're more like a six to seven win team.

891
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: And to me, it's just Derek. You can't rely on

892
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: Derek to play like Tom Brady. If you're going to

893
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: try to have him throw forty times a game and

894
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: just pick you apart and carry you. That's not a

895
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: winning formula throughout a season. If you hit play action,

896
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: you get him on the move, you run the ball,

897
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: which this system is going to do, it will work

898
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: like he can be a top fifteen quarterback. So to me,

899
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: it's more of a value proposition than I like love

900
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: the team. A lot of people say that there are

901
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: two ways to build a Super Bowl contending team, the

902
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: young quarterback on his rookie contract with the stack team,

903
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: or a great defense with good quarterback play. What's your

904
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on good quarterbacks like to a Dac and Cousins.

905
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: Then draft high end wide receiver and keep the offense

906
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: young and fresh. Never pay a running back because it's

907
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: more common than not after four years, you let them

908
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 1: walk with college producing consistently good skilled positions and seems

909
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: like you can get them all the way into the

910
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: third round. If you stuck to the plan, you'd never

911
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: get the awkwardness that forty nine ers are dealing with,

912
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: or the risk of paying a running back and getting

913
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: injured quickly after paying him a high contract. Well, here's

914
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: the problem with what you just said is you assume

915
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: you hit on draft picks. So it's like, just let

916
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: him go and draft a guy. Okay, Well draft a

917
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: guy like the Niners. Did I think they were like, Okay,

918
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: you might not sign this contract. Let's draft this dude

919
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: in the first round, Ricky Piersoll from Florida. Then he's

920
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: been hurt in OTA's in training game. So I'm supposed

921
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: to play real games when I don't even know this

922
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 1: guy can stay healthy. I'm just using the Niners example

923
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: because I just know like the detail of their they

924
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: drafted a running back really high, already injured. So you

925
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: can be like, oh, just let this guy walk. Draft

926
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: these guys. Teams do that all the time. Just draft

927
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: this guy, Okay, I hear you. Well, okay, we'll just

928
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: draft this guy in the third round. Well draft this

929
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: guy in the second round. Well does that guy Bobby

930
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: Wagner or Fred Warner or does that guy just turn

931
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: into a special teamers, average practice squad guy. Because when

932
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: you draft him, you're like, I really like him, hell yeah,

933
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden the games start and

934
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: you're like, this guy's not very good. I mean, it

935
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: happens all the time. That's why teams, once you have

936
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: a player who is good, usually pays them because there

937
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: is no guarantee. And I love the draft as much

938
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: as anyone, but just because you got I give you

939
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: three second round picks. If I gave you three second

940
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: round picks, whoever your team is, you play this season out,

941
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: you go like, shit, we got a couple guys we

942
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: don't we don't want to pay a running back let

943
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: him walk. Let's say we got Saquon and we got

944
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: some corner, let them walk, and we'll draft a corner

945
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 1: and a running back in the second round. What if

946
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: that guy's not any good. You're gonna think he's good

947
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: when you draft him, but then you actually have to

948
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: play in the NFL. So it's it's it's it's more

949
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: complicated than it sounds. It's so easy to talk, like

950
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: in theory, every professor thinks they're a genius on the

951
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 1: board in the classroom, it's like yeah. In reality, like yeah,

952
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: in theory, the supply demand, uh, you know, inflation all.

953
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: Then there's the real world, like no one's buying our products. Like,

954
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do? We did all, took

955
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: all the steps, followed all the textbooks. It ain't working. Hey,

956
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: let this guy walk. Use your second round pick on

957
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: a on a linebacker fill his role. Okay, we'll draft

958
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: this dude from Florida State or from Texas or wherever.

959
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: Then midway through training camp you're like, uh, you can't

960
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: really understand our defense. He doesn't know where he's going.

961
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: But hey, he was dominating against Oklahoma and Nole Miss.

962
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's more difficult than that. Now, I hear

963
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: what you're saying. It's why it's hard. I would say,

964
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: in football, just like any business, to have like heart

965
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: set rules like no matter what, we will let this

966
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: guy go, no matter what, we won't pay this position.

967
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: And then you get Christian McCaffrey, or you get Alvin Kamara,

968
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: or you get whatever you name the position. Most teams,

969
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: like I don't love paying middle linebackers. I hear that

970
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: all the time. Well, have you ever played with Roquan

971
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: Smith on your defense? You had Fred Warner or Luke

972
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: Keigley on your defense, because put those guys in your defense,

973
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: see like, yeah, I just we'll let that guy walk.

974
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: We'll just draft a guy. It's just not gonna happen.

975
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: So I hear what you're saying, and I do understand

976
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: because it's easy to goo. Well, you haven't been winning

977
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: shit with Ceedee Lamb anyway, and Jared'd be like, well,

978
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: we're winning twelve regular season games, we can't win any

979
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: playoff games. But okay, so let's get rid of CD

980
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: because we haven't got over the hump. I'm just giving

981
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: a hypothetical trade them right now. Have some team give

982
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: you a couple ones. I mean, are you winning eight

983
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: games in the regular season. We don't wuldn't even give

984
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: ourselves a chance. You're like, well, use those picks, and

985
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: you're just trying to draft another wide receiver. That's the thing.

986
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, let's say the forty nine Ers trade

987
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: brand Iyuke this weekend. They just trade them, they would

988
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: need another wide receiver in the draft. Next year, they

989
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: would draft another guy who they'd be hoping to be

990
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk. No different if you trade CD Lamb, I

991
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: know they're not going to or Jamar Chase or anything.

992
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: You just be trying to find another guy like that,

993
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: and there's no guarantee you can. So even if you

994
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 1: draft another ye receiver who knows the volume mhm
