You know, I thought about like, 34 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: I'm just watching some college football, kind of dozing off. 35 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: I played golf really early in the morning. Maybe I 36 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: had a few cocktails earlier. But then I did work 37 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: out and I was kind of tired. I'm like, do 38 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: I really need to do this. I'm like, I gotta 39 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: do it. You say you're gonna do something, and you 40 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: do it. So we're doing the podcast. Start with Eric Van. 41 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to script your last name. Welcome to Arizona, 42 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: the Big Oven. Love the show, never missed an episode. 43 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: I have a question, uh about your theory on Daniel Jones. 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: He is doing a serviceable jobs, serviceable job, under dable. However, 45 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: throwing five touchdown passes all season won't get it done. 46 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: What can the Giants do to increase that productivity at quarterback? 47 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: Would love to see it down with you for lunch 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: if you have time my treat. I'm in Good Year Arizon. 49 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure where that is. Uh, yeah, you 50 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: never know. We maybe we'll figure something out. I I 51 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: think probably now it doesn't. Let's be real. The Daniel 52 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Jones thing is, it's hard when your quarterback is limited 53 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: as a passer. Let's use Alex Smith as an example. 54 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: Let's say he becomes eighty to nine of what Alex 55 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: Smith became. Best case scenario. Alex never was some dynamic 56 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: passing quarterback. I think the most touchdowns he ever threw 57 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: in a year was like five. I'm guessing off top 58 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: of my head. But even if Daniel Jones hits, he's 59 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: always gonna probably be in like the mid twenties. But 60 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: your talent at wide receiver isn't great. Like to me, 61 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: you have to get more firepower on offense, right, Like 62 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: when you've been good over the years, you've had impact 63 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: wide receivers with ELI. When when I was with the Eagles, 64 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: it was Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz and Steve Smith 65 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: until he got injured. And that's kind of Victor Cruz 66 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. When I was in college and 67 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: you guys want a super Bowl, it was Plexico and 68 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: I think you have Jeremy Shocky. Uh, you know you 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: gotta have you gotta have weapons. So to me, part 70 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: of the way to get the most out of you know, 71 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: a non super dynamic talent is to put good weapons 72 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,119 Speaker 1: around him. So I think I give them props. They 73 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: use their first two picks on on the trenches, right, 74 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: a pass rusher and an offensive lineman. So I can 75 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: never go against that philosophy because I think when all 76 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: else fails, taken a lineman, take a defensive lineman. A 77 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: lineman aren't always sexy, right. Everyone wants a wide receiver. 78 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: Everyone wants to tight end lineman, d lineman or more 79 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: sexy because they sacked the quarterback. So like you draft Cavan, 80 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: that's a sexier pick, but you gotta eventually draft wide 81 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: receivers and tight ends. And if you look at what 82 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: they did in Buffalo, like those two guys were part 83 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: of trading four Stephen Dix. Those guys were there when 84 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis was drafted, right, So they they've invested picks 85 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: and hit on picks when they were in Buffalo for 86 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: skill guys, which I think is very, very important. Mail bag, 87 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: say Hackett and Brandon Staley are axed, even if he 88 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: can't pronounce Goodell. We know the Broncos new owner is 89 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: more high level than Dean Spanos, but does that matter 90 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: a Sean Payton Herbert and less money versus Russell Wilson 91 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: and Walmore Air, I'll hang up and listen. Well, it's weird, 92 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: like obviously money matters. But Sean Payton is filthy rich, 93 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: I mean filthy rich. He probably made a hundred million 94 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: dollars the last six or seven years. But John Payton 95 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: has made a ton of money. Now you can't like 96 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: his going rate is fifteen to twenty million dollars a year, 97 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: But like Dean Spanos, if you would give me twelve 98 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: thirteen and give me more money to pay assistance. I'm sorry, 99 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm just not messing with Russell Wilson one weirdo to 100 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: declining asset Justice Herbert is a rocket ship. Now. I've 101 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: said over and over, even if they win nine or 102 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: ten games, I just I don't see Dean Spano's doing it. 103 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: I I just don't he He loves his frugality too much. 104 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's it means a lot to him, though 105 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: it's to move. I think if he fired Brandon Staley 106 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: and was willing to, like I think for Sean Payton, 107 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: it's less about making like a hundred million dollar contract 108 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: and more are we invested into the team, And I'm 109 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: not talking to players like do I have top dollar 110 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: to get my coordinators, to get coaches to do everything 111 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I want to do? And if he said yes, it 112 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: would be a no brainer. It would be one of 113 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: the best jobs in the league, because, like you know, 114 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 1: most people say jobs with quarterbacks do not come open. 115 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: Looking back, when the Packers came open, it was pretty unique, 116 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: and let's face it, we were wrong. Most people thought 117 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was kind of shot. Turns out a couple 118 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: of m vps later, that was an elite job for 119 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. Now is Matt Lafleur an elite coach? You know, 120 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm stupid enough. I might put some money on them 121 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: against the Bills, but they're not having a great season. 122 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: Not totally his fault, but thoughts on NFL putting the 123 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Jags Bronco game exclusively on ESPN Ocho kidding ESPN Plus. 124 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: I completely agree with your take on Amazon Prime. Most 125 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: people have that and the and the value that comes 126 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: with it. But ESPN Plus is hot garbage and only 127 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: broadcast other bullshit than no one cares about. And I'm 128 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: in no rush to give the Mouse any more of 129 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: my money that they already get. I think he means 130 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse and Disney. Am I wrong to think that 131 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: this will be a ratings bomb by NFL standards? Two 132 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: bad teams early in the morning on a platform that 133 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: most people don't have or really want, seems like the 134 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: perfect recipe. Well, here's where I will support this move. 135 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: I supported the freak out of Amazon Prime, saying if 136 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: you don't have Amazon Prime in two two, like I, 137 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: I can't relate to you, and I don't claim to 138 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: be some just like is to lead ust here, like 139 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: we're all getting Amazon packages delivered all the time, and 140 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Prime that comes with it obviously gives you free delivery. 141 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: So I just do not know anyone, including my seven 142 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: year old mother to twenty year old kids in college, 143 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: not messing with Amazon. So if you're not missed the Amazon, 144 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: I went on record like most people think you're a 145 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: complete whack job. Now this ESPN Plus thing, Like I 146 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: have ESPN Plus and you go, well, why do you 147 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: have ESPN Plus? John, Well, because I like watching the 148 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: PGA Tour, and I gamble on Golf, and I like 149 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: watching guys I gamble on on Thursday and Friday. And 150 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: because Golf, unlike the NFL, most of their events aren't 151 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: on TV all the time like they are Saturday Sunday, 152 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: and even during the week, it's only a couple of 153 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: hours on Golf Channel. I like watching when I want 154 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: to watch in ESPN Plus. Uh provided that for me. 155 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: And obviously, if you listen to this and you like 156 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: fighting UFC, they have a deal with them, so you 157 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: have it. But this is about getting more and more 158 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: people to sign up. So ESPN and Disney pay a 159 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: lot of money right for Monday night football, and part 160 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: of that deal, I would imagine was one off this 161 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: year to do a game to basically force people to 162 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: attempt to help their business out part of being a 163 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: good business partner. And listen, I'm learning this as as 164 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: I age is. There's a give and take with stuff. Right. 165 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: Does ESPN or excuse me, does the NFL ideally want 166 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: this game behind a paywall? Probably not. But when ESPN 167 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: paid for the Monday Night football package, I don't have 168 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: the numbers in front of me, but I can't imagine 169 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: it was a decent chunk of change and they paid 170 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: more money right to also get in the Super Bowl rotation, 171 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: a big reason Joe Buck and Troy Aikman went to 172 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: the network like, hey, you know, we're trying to improve 173 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: our overall business as well. So this is an idea 174 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure approached by ESPN, not the NFL, and I 175 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: understand it. And if you're the NFL, like yeah, whatever, 176 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: like half the country and and I know by statistics, 177 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: I know more people technically live I think on the 178 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: East Coast and the West coast, but listen, I live 179 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: out here, so I represent us. I don't really watch much, 180 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: if ever, of the Sunday morning game. Typically it's a 181 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: bad game and for us on the West Coast, it 182 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: starts at six thirty am. Now I'm not I wouldn't 183 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: say I'm Kobe Bryant or Tiger Woods here getting up 184 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: at four o'clock seven days a week. But I get 185 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: up relatively early. But on Sunday, like, I'm not getting 186 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: up at six o'clock to watch two teams I don't 187 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: really care about. So most of the time I start 188 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: that game around halftime, and usually I go to the 189 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: gym and just kind of have it on in the background. 190 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: So you could argue that game in general is somewhat 191 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: of a throwaway right to the overall consumer. Now maybe 192 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: if you're listening to this you disagree with me, that's fine. 193 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: I just think this is this is the game to 194 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: do that move, And I think if you're the NFL, 195 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: you give in on this game for this move. As 196 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: a Broncos fan, I'll give Russell Wilson credit for one thing, 197 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: real elevancy. It would be absolutely be dice for some 198 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: more positive storylines. But the fact you spent ten to 199 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: every podcast this season talking about the Broncos is a 200 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: good thing. Is it the numerous primetime games that has 201 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: you talking about the Broncos or did Wilson kick your 202 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: dog or something? Well, I think it's pretty basic. Russell 203 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: Wilson is one of the biggest stars in the NFL. 204 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: He was a part of one of the biggest trades 205 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's also directly correlated with one of 206 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: the more famous coaches in the NFL, Pete Carroll, and 207 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: an entire franchise in Seattle. So when you get a divorce, 208 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: when two famous people get a divorce, like part of 209 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: tracking how they go their separate ways is part of 210 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: the conversation, especially in sports, when you leave a franchise 211 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: and force your way out as he did. He forced 212 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: them to trade him. When you make that move, we 213 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: judge what happens, and then when it gets really weird, 214 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: as it has, we're gonna talk about it. And now 215 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: I've always um that Russell was a weird guy. So 216 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: he's interesting to talk about because most quarterbacks, like what 217 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: am I really going to say about justin Herbert, right, 218 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: we're like Lamar Jackson win or like ultimately we just 219 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: talked about the game. Like with Russell, there is a 220 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: curveball element to his story and it's him the person. 221 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: That's why do we talk so much about Kyler Murray. 222 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't give a ship about the Arizona Cardinals, but 223 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: he's interesting. He just is. They made him put a 224 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: close in his contract to not play video games. That's unprecedented. 225 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: You know, if if he had been a normal guy 226 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: and that never came up, we wouldn't talk about Kyler 227 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: as much beside the player. Why do we talk so 228 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: much lately about Tom Brady? He literally just got divorced 229 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: from Giselle. So part of this conversation, like, ultimately, the 230 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: NFL is a television show and their most famous actors 231 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: are the quarterbacks, and the most famous, you know, the 232 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: majority of those quarterbacks kind of have some weird things 233 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: going on. Rogers, Brady, Kyler Russell. You know, they're just 234 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: they make more interesting stories than just Kirk Cousins through 235 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: for four touchdowns. Like, yeah, that's not like that bores me. Uh. 236 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't, because I'm going to uh, actually, 237 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna If you're listening to this 238 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday, bet On the Arizona Cardinals, listen to your 239 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: podcast right now about the Chiefs, And I wanted to 240 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: let you know that McCole Hardeman is their fast man 241 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: down field. Please do not respect the jet I think 242 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: because I said that the Chiefs have no deep threat. Yeah, 243 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: I mean I Artaman is a role role player, you know. 244 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: I I when I when I was talking about the 245 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: Chiefs change in offensive philosophy. Obviously Hardeman has elite speed. 246 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: I would say more with the ball in his hand, 247 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: but like compared to what they were with Tyreek Kill 248 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: that that was my point. I hear you're what you're 249 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: saying about Brady retiring off of bad here. But at 250 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: this point he's lost every everything outside of football, So 251 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: he's playing at this caliber. Why would he quit, especially 252 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: now that he's put all the stock in the sport. 253 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: It seems like a double loss if he retires after 254 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: this season and loses his fan I still think he's 255 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: playing very well. Why not go to a team where 256 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: he's a chance to win a ring? Although I don't 257 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: know who that would be, Dolphins, Niners. Here's my thing 258 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. First, on his family. I got this 259 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: argue with my girlfriend last night. Why do we assume 260 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: that they were a happy couple. Why do we assume 261 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: that he was a bad guy to Geelle, I'm not 262 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: saying you are that he just everything over football and 263 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: he was a bad family man. What if he just 264 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: didn't like her that much anymore? What if she just 265 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: didn't like him that much anymore? Guess what, that happens 266 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: a lot. We just stopped liking each other. And this 267 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: notion that he lost his fam No, he lost his wife, 268 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: which maybe he wanted to lose. And again, I know, 269 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be like aggressive or abrasive in 270 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: this conversation, but I just kind of see that out there, 271 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: and maybe it's a conversation a lot of us have 272 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: with our moms or with our girlfriends, Like he lost 273 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: his family. No, he's divorcing his wife. He no longer 274 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: has to sleep in the same bed as Giselle. Which 275 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: let's put on the percentages. I would say above fifty 276 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: chance he wanted he didn't lose his kids, right, I mean, 277 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: the way the rules work, especially with a guy like him, 278 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: like he hadn't fifty fifty. She ain't getting any more 279 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: time than him. So no, you could argue that she 280 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: lost her husband. You know, I just think this notion 281 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: that they were like happily ever after, and maybe they were, 282 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Tom never met the guy, But I 283 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: would lean to say, and you know, I have a 284 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: few birdies that might run in some circles that I don't. 285 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: I I think it's maybe he's relieved, Like what if 286 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: there's a chance and he's never gonna say this because 287 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: his wife's such a public figure and listen, that's this 288 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: asshole thing to do. But what if he's relieved Because 289 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: most divorced people, I know, the moment divorce ends, that's 290 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: what I would say, they're relieved that they don't have 291 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: to deal with her anymore. And a lot of times 292 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: it goes the other way too, she doesn't have to 293 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: deal with him, but not because they lose their family, 294 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: that their kids aren't going anywhere. I don't know. It 295 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: just maybe maybe she's dragging him down, like he's gonna 296 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: come back at forty six years old. Forty six years 297 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: old now, like I said, I still think he can 298 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: play at a pretty high level. But it does just 299 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: kind of feel over at this point, would be my take. 300 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: It feels just kind of over. I just I've gotten 301 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: so many arguments, and again I'm not trying to come 302 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: at you with your question, but like you know, he 303 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: gave up his family. Did he Are you sure he did? No, 304 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: he just he got a divorce. You know, you think 305 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: he's like not gonna You think his kids like, you 306 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: think his boys like, yeah, I want to go hang 307 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: out with mom, not not Tom. I think they want 308 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: to kick it with her dad. And I'm pretty sure 309 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: by all accounts that seem like he was a good dad. 310 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: Football season is underway, so now is the perfect time 311 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: to download fan Duel, America's number one sports book because 312 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: right now, new customers get a no sweat first bet 313 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: up to one thousand dollars.

How did 343 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: you do? Little over Price? Really nice course, but the 344 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: prices in Near Zona in the winter, it's like Jesus Christ, 345 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: like three to four er dollars to play golf. I mean, 346 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: this isn't a guest or pebble beach. Oh my god. Um, 347 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: I would say three other teams. You know, the NFC 348 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: is hard, right, Like I'm not. I'm recording this before 349 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: the Niner game. It's hard to put the Niners in 350 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: the Rams in there, the Bucks and the Packers, you 351 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: gotta take take them out. The Cowboys like I just 352 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: I saw them play a playoff game last year at 353 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: home against the Niners and get their ask kicks. So 354 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to put them. But their defense actually is 355 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: playing pretty well. Uh you know, I said, like, I 356 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: guess if the Ravens figure some stuff out in their 357 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: defense got better that they could be. They could be tough. 358 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to go on the road to 359 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: play Kansas City or Buffalo. So it's hard for me 360 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: to pick the Ravens to beat one of those two 361 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: teams on the road. I I would just who would 362 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: you pick to win the Super Bowl. I'd say Bills 363 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: are jeeves, you know, because even the Eagles, like I 364 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: like their team a lot. But do you see Jalen 365 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: Hurts beating Patrick Mahomes or Jalen or Josh Allen hard dude, question, 366 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: do you think McVeigh would retire at the end of 367 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: the season if the Rams can't get back on track? 368 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: Same with Aaron Donald. Can't see them wanting to come 369 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: back to a team that ends up going six and 370 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: eleven or seven in ten. And here's the thing, Like, 371 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: let's say they did go seven and ten or six 372 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: and eleven. Dan Campbell and the Lions have their pick. 373 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: So if they had like the tenth pick, can you 374 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: imagine if the Lions have like the first and the 375 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: tenth pick, they stand just gave him all a shipload 376 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: of money. And like I say it all the time 377 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: about Sean Payton, like money isn't everything when choosing a job, 378 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: but when you're at the job and you're getting paid 379 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: an astronomical amount of funds, right, I mean, I would 380 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: guess Sean McVeigh makes about fifteen million dollars a year. 381 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: Even I think he said in that in the Ringer 382 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: piece that I think uh Or knows wicker Sham's piece 383 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: he never envisioned early on in his life, like it 384 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: would be this good. Like he is making so much 385 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: money even with the California crazy text And Aaron Donald 386 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: just got guaranteed like twenty million dollars a year for 387 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: the next three years. So if Aaron, unless your body 388 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: gives up on you, like bro, You're never gonna make 389 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: this much after you're done playing in unless you invest 390 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: in the next Facebook or something like, you only got 391 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: a couple more years to make to rack up sixty 392 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: million dollars. I'd be stunned. Now. It wouldn't shock me 393 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: if it both floated out that they'd be interested in retiring. 394 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: But I just think they make a lot of money 395 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: and they do still get to play so Fi Stadium, 396 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: Like I I, I can't see it. Do you think 397 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: we're finally seeing the success that Daniel Jones because he 398 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: has the first year in a while that he has 399 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: a star running back uh and actually being productive. I 400 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: feel like Jones was successful or successful because he has 401 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: asked to do too much, with Barkley awfully getting too 402 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: often getting hurt. This allows other teams to not worry 403 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: about scheme for the running game, and they know the 404 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: Giants offense had to run through Daniel Jones. I always 405 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: thought he was very talented, just didn't have the right 406 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: pieces around him to stay healthy. Look at his receiving corps, 407 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: also always getting injured. Obviously day ball is changing things 408 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: as well, look what he did with Josh Allen. But 409 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: I think it is more than just the code. Well 410 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: I've said this before. My buddy that does that area 411 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: that when Daniel Jones got drafted was a big fan. 412 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people around the league 413 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones because at the time he came out, 414 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: Alex Smith's career just kind of ended, and I thought, 415 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in the league thought 416 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: that was his comp high level guy. People like him, 417 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: kind of nerdy in terms of like really smart, very intellectual, 418 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: not the most physically gifted, but a really good athlete. 419 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: Not that when I say physically gifted, like doesn't throw 420 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: the ball, you know, like Rogers or anything. But he's tall. Uh. 421 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: He just had a lot to like. Now six overall, 422 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: a lot to like, probably not, but Alex Smith once 423 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: upon a time went number one overall and went on 424 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: to have like a seven years in the in his 425 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: career that were pretty high level with hardball and then 426 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: coach read So I think a lot of people viewed 427 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: that as the comp But to make Alex Smith good, 428 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: and I know we talked about him earlier, is you 429 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: have to surround him, like ultimately you have to surround 430 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: any quarterback like Josh Allen plays with Stefon Dix and 431 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis Now and Dawson Knox and a good offensive line. 432 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: Mahomes has had Kelsey and Tyreek Hill and then they 433 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: get him Juju and they get him to Jaco and 434 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: they like, you got it that you can't Tom Brady, 435 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: you know, Wes Welker, Julian Adelman, growk Right, Brady Moss, 436 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: like you need help, Dean Lewis, He's had running backs 437 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: like you need help. But like some guys can elevate others, 438 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: the majority of guys need good talent around him and 439 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: good coaching. And that's where I think that Daniel Jones 440 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: really benefits. I think he's got really really good coaching 441 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: and for the first year he got Sa Kuon Barkley 442 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: and Sae Kwan looks like a bowler. Regarding the Browns. 443 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: I've personally been very uncomfortable and opposed to the Watson move. 444 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: Looking solely from a football perspective, the brown seems screwed. 445 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: They're in a wind now window based on contracts, but 446 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: are nowhere near it. If you were the GM, what 447 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: do you what do you do to make the most 448 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: of the situation. Well, that's where I pushed back, like 449 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: your two and whatever? Two and five right a bigger? 450 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Jacoby is blown multiple games, so your star quarterback? 451 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: Who with it? I'm with you. I would not have 452 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: made the trade. But if you just had Deshaun Watson 453 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: healthy playing, you'd be above five hundred. You'd be a 454 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: playoff team. Now would you be a powerhouse like the 455 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs of the Bills? You know, probably not, but you 456 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: would be a tan of Levin win Lock. It's why 457 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: I like, I don't talk about the Browns that much. 458 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: Like what am I supposed to say? How do I 459 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: even judge them? I don't fans ship on Stefanski and 460 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't watch every single snap of every Browns game, 461 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: So I get it, Like you can be critical of 462 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: coaches in games, but he's coaching with his backup quarterback 463 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: every single week. Now, if it's like, well, he doesn't 464 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: run the ball enough with Chubb, Yeah, I guess we 465 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: can nitpick him, but it's tough, man. I I think 466 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: a lot of coaches in his position with Jacobe b 467 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: said specifically, would be in trouble. Now if you want 468 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: to crush them, like, should they have just traded for 469 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and had Jimmy Garoppolo play this season and 470 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: then when de Sean came back, they could have been 471 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: five instead of Jacoby because they were pretty they were 472 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: too loyal to Jacoby. I'd agree with that, but also 473 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: the the owner forced this trade on. Hey, brother, appreciate 474 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: the pod low key big fan base over here in 475 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: small town Florence, Oregan, do you think Dallas truly has 476 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: a chance to make a run even with our premier 477 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: defense when Dac is our heel? Uh? Yeah? I mean 478 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: I if you have a great defense, you have a 479 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: chance to win playoff games. The forty Niners won multiple 480 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: playoff games last year with Jimmy Garoppolo, and Dac is 481 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: a better player than Jimmy Garoppolo. But why they win 482 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: They ran the ball with Deebo Samuel and they played 483 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: awesome defense. If you play awesome defense, you have a 484 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: chance in any big game. If you're you know you, 485 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: if you're a playoff team and having to lead defense, 486 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: you can win any playoff game for sure. But the 487 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: reason like the Cowboys lost that playoff game was one, 488 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: they just came out flat and two they had a 489 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: million penalties. So I think it's gonna be on McCarthy 490 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: like are they more buttoned up in the big games? 491 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: And that? To me? He I was gonna like, there, 492 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: you guys are going to the playoffs? To me, can 493 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: you compete? What's it gonna look like when you play 494 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: the Eagles with dak Uh? You know, how do you 495 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: take advantage? Like the more and more pressure grows, how 496 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: you play in these big games matter, and right you 497 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: get the Eagles at home, So I think you're right 498 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: in the mix. I'm a Vikings fan from Idah. I 499 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: was curious if there's any trades that we could make 500 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: that really makes us serious contenders. Aside from quarterback, I 501 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: don't know where we could make drastic upgrades. We have 502 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: decent ed rushers and I don't know that any other 503 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: defensive position would make a huge difference. And the offense 504 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: still hasn't quite hitted stride, but we're talking, we're stacking wins, 505 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: which I know is crucial. Would you make a move 506 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: like signing O B G O B J to give 507 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: that UH some national recognition as a top team. I 508 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 1: think he missed DBS. Why I would not pick you 509 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: guys as a serious contenders because I don't think your 510 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: corners are good enough and in the league that you 511 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: gotta like think about the teams you're gonna have to play, Eagles, A. J. Brown, 512 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Deavonte Smith. I guess that would be the team. You know, 513 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: you can win your division without the DBS, you know, 514 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: and actually the NFC is pretty shitty. I'm just thinking 515 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: off on the top of my head. It's not like 516 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: you're playing Lamar Mahomes and UH and Josh Allen. So yeah, 517 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean I do I think you can win. Maybe 518 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: maybe you could get to the NFC Championship game. But 519 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: the thing is in the NFL playoffs now, if you're 520 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: not the number one seed, you do have to play 521 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: multiple games. So do I see Kirk Cousins winning multiple 522 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: playoff games? That's where I'd have to pump the brakes. 523 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: Could you win a playoff game for sure. And I 524 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: would say if the Vikings make the playoffs and win 525 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: a playoff game, especially if it's a home playoff game, 526 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: that is a massive success. That's a very very successful season. 527 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: If you like had a home playoff game you beat 528 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: like the Rams and then you'll lost in the second 529 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: round of the Cowboys or something, that's a fantastic here. Okay, 530 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: last question, the interception Mac Jones through to Brisker actually 531 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: hit the skycam wire mid pass and nobody mentioned it. 532 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: Is that reviewable? Shouldn't that be the kind of dead 533 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: ball replay, kind of like when it hits Jared Jerry's 534 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: Giant TV. I can't even speak. I would say, yeah, 535 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: I do think it's reviewable if people had seen it 536 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: hit the wire. I think it was hard to see 537 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: the wires because at least from watching it on TV, 538 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: which I would imagine people listening did that money they 539 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: weren't at the game. It was very dreary, foggy, rainy. 540 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if it was just hard to see if 541 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: that's a sunny game and you could see or even 542 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: even I know it's a night game, If that's a 543 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: normal night game and it's clear skies. I wonder if 544 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: it would have been clear, and yes, you would replay 545 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: the down. You don't you know, if it hits the wire, 546 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: you getta you getta redo. So uh yeah, I've never 547 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: seen that before. I guess it's probably hit the wire 548 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: on a punt, but I've never seen a pass at 549 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: the wire. My question was, why would the wire be 550 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: down the field the way the offense is going right 551 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: that That to me seems dumb. I wonder if the 552 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: wire guy screwed up, must have Well, I think that'll 553 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: call it the podcast. I got Illinois and big Brett 554 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: Bilma is about to be seven and one. That guy 555 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: can coach man he is. Some guys are just made 556 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: for regions, right, Like you watch some of the guys 557 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: in the South, Like Kirby Smart just made his coach 558 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: in the South. I know he's at Georgia. They never 559 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: gonna leave, but like he could have coached obviously Alabama, 560 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: l s U, Georgia, Florida, like he belongs down there. 561 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: Then there's Bret Bielma, who kicked as ad Wisconsin. Then 562 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: he went to Arkansas and it just never felt right. 563 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: Now you could argue Arkansas is a hard job. To 564 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: win at it is, but it was just it didn't 565 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: go right. But then he goes to Illinois, who was 566 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: I'd say a pretty big un to achiever in my 567 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: life another seven and one. I look at their schedule today. 568 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, beside Michigan, they don't play Ohio State in 569 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: the regular season, it's not inconceivable that they go ten 570 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: and two Illinois about to go ten and two. Biel 571 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: muck and coach man. He really can. And some guys 572 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: just belong in certain regions, and Brett bielamit to me 573 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: just belongs in the Midwest. It just it just fits. 574 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: And he's kicking ass and taking names. Audios, have a 575 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: good I guess, have a good Sunday, and we'll talk soon. 576 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: The volume
