22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,320

Speaker 1: like it, and West you're going, You're gonna take a

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: little vacation, right, I'm gonna meet my mom in Longboat Key, Florida.

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm leaving tomorrow night. All right, I'm leaving the country

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: and less than six hours. Who's counting though? So yeah,

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: we have not a lot of news, but we have

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: a lot of odds and ends to get to Sully.

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: What's up, my man? Not too much. How you guys

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: doing today? We're great. How are you? You're busting behind

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: the glass busn't it. Yeah, it's a busy day back here.

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: It is very, very busy day. It's like not busy

33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: at all in the NFL, but it's busy in Sully's world.

34
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, these vacations, it's like everyone's getting the last

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: ones in. We are about two weeks away from inside

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: training camp starting like that's right. August is by far

37
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: the worst month. It's probably the toughest. I would say

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: if the game's actually meant something, it would be different.

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: But you it's not only just that it's so busy. Yeah,

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: it's that the games mean absolutely nothing and you're forced

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: to act like they mean something. It's the highest ratio

42
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: of working hard to like, we have very fun jobs,

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: but they're more fun September to February. It's also really

44
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: hot at a lot of the training camps when you

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: go to cover them, so sometimes it's a little uncomfortable,

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, for the most part,

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about football, so it's not bad. It's not

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: bad at all. I think what you guys are getting to.

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: It's the time of the year where there's the most

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: chefs trying to influence the pot, and then once the

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: season starts, those those guys start to realize that the dish,

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: you know, the dish is gonna get made no matter what,

53
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: and they can kind of pull back. All right, let's

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: get to some odds and ends. Oh, I'm saying odds

55
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: and ends, odds and ends. Hey, everybody tell your friends

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: about odds and damn ends it. That was definitely the

57
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: closest odds and ends. Odds and ends. Hey, everybody tell

58
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: your friends because the time now this is all off it.

59
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Forget it. I don't want you to get it right. No,

60
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. I was actually this morning, like practicing.

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what if I can't remember how

62
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: the song goes? But I'm like, okay, maybe I can

63
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: try some variations. When two characters get together on a

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: long running TV show and ultimately the tension is then

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: ended and it gets worse, you're not getting the song right,

66
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: is the whole key? And there it has no news.

67
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: There's been no new it was that's significant for an

68
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: entire week. So it's just that now. I know. I

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: woke up this morning at seven thirty and started stressing out,

70
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, what are we going to talk

71
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: about today? Let's go through some news and it was nothing.

72
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, Kiko Alonso's looking forward to a

73
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: big year with the Dolphins. I know it's always a

74
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: quiet time of year, but I think this is like

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: the quietest quiet time of year we've ever had, and

76
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I love it. It's fine. Really, yeah, well that's great. Okay,

77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: let's get into uh our first item. Here, USC's Sam Donald,

78
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: who we keep hearing about apparently is no lock for

79
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: the upcoming draft. Several sources close to Donald told our

80
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: own Daniel Jeremiah they wouldn't be surprised if Donald played

81
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: two more seasons at USC as a red shirt sophomore,

82
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: he can declare for the draft as early as eighteen.

83
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: What do you think about this with Rosie? I am delighted,

84
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: first of all, because it ruins all the whole scamp

85
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: for Sam Jets. I don't know Sam's driving that jet,

86
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: turning it back around and landed in l A twelve minutes.

87
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: This is unsettling before it always has been. I think

88
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: maybe it's been the back of my head and probably

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: others that everyone's just assuming this guy, first of all,

90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: that he stays this good which is and is that

91
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: top of a prospect, but that he's definitely going to

92
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: come out. He's just what a red shirt sophomore, so

93
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: that this makes sense? I mean, why is that a

94
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent decision that he's definitely coming. It's not the

95
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: first time on this podcast that we've raised the likelihood

96
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: that Sam Donalds stays in school, and it's an interesting

97
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: conundrum for all those teams gunning for the number one pick,

98
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: the Jets, which are doing it more actively than any

99
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: team I remember since I've been watching football, uh, because

100
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: we saw move the sticks. Daniel Jeremiah reports around Combine

101
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: time that executives and scouts were talking about this guy

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: more than the guys coming out in the two thousand

103
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: and seventeen draft class. And you know, the Spice Rack,

104
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: who I hold in a high regard, says it's Sam

105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: Donald is the real deal and it can't miss prospects.

106
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: So that means a lot. But then you know, land

107
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: zer Line came out with an article today saying, don't

108
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: write off everyone but Sam Donald in the competition to

109
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: be number one, which we see in most years, the

110
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: guy who's the favorite to go number one often doesn't

111
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: go there. And it's it's a lot to put on

112
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: somebody who's only started one year of college football. He's

113
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: living and playing in Los Angeles, and it's like, oh,

114
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna win Theyman Trophy and he's gonna

115
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: be the started quarterback and franchise savior for the New

116
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: York Jets next year. Like this is all fore gone.

117
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: We know the lot gonna happen. A lot can happen

118
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: in the year. Uh last time. This time last year,

119
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Brad Kaya, the Miami quarterback, was being projected as a player.

120
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: He went all the way around in the fifth, sixth

121
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: round and nice light years what are we going to

122
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: do there, but have so much more time to talk

123
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: about it. It's gonna change. Like just look at the

124
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: combine going into the combine to Shaun Kai. There was

125
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback, everybody loved him, and then so

126
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: much change just over the course of those workouts. So

127
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: by DJ, it's you know, coming back from vacation and

128
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: making a little NFL news. Well, he was, he was out,

129
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: he was watching him, he was he was up in

130
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: the opening up in berigin Oregon and watched him and

131
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: he that was supposedly the best workout of any quarterback

132
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: up there's ever ever, ever, any quarterback ever ever. I

133
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: am Donald is that dude? We can talk about Daniel

134
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Jeremiah too because Dan's not here. So that's a nice

135
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: luxury that we have. Shout out to DJ. All right,

136
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: let's move on to Tom Brady. He did he confirm

137
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: Giselle's concussion claims here uh. In an interview with ESPN,

138
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: is Kevin to Gandhi Um for an E sixty he said, quote,

139
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: she's there every day. We go to bed in the

140
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: same bed every night, so I think she knows what.

141
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure she knows. When I'm tired. She knows when

142
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: I get hit. He's releasing a new book. Um, I mean, obviously,

143
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm ho. I I assume that they leap in the

144
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: same bed every night, and I didn't think that they

145
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: were like the couple that was sleeping in separate bedrooms. Yeah,

146
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: but um, it sounds like it's it's a affirmation of it.

147
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Go ahead. This is another story that the entire industry

148
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: has gotten wrong. This is not about whether the Patriots

149
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady are hiding something. It's about what is

150
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: a concussion and what's not. And you can diagnose quarterbacks

151
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: and other players with multiple concussions every single game if

152
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: that's your threshold for a concussion, But the threshold for

153
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: a concussion isn't that in the NFL. Until you come

154
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: up with a working definition for a concussion that everybody

155
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: agrees to, these stories are gonna pop up all the time,

156
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: and that's probably impossible, and that this issue is impossible.

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting just because I feel

158
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: like two or three years ago would have been a

159
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: bigger story that Tom. You know, it actually wasn't that

160
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: big of a story that Tom Brady's wife said that

161
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: he's had concussions in the last few years. You know,

162
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: the greatest player of all time is playing despite unreported concussions,

163
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: and people kind of like dismissed it some some way

164
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: because it was his wife saying it, which is like,

165
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: who would know more than his wife? And then he,

166
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: I mean, he confirmed it here. He's Tom Brady is

167
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: never going to say anything that gets his team or

168
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: himself in trouble. But he confirmed, you know, he confirmed

169
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: it here. I don't know if people were thinking twice

170
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: about it because it was Giselle that was saying. And

171
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just assume that football

172
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: players get concussions when they're playing football. I mean, it's

173
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: not difficult to get a concussion. I'm sure I've had

174
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: a concussion before. Have you guys had a concussion? Like,

175
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: I never been diagnosed with anything, but I I just

176
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: leave it up to the physicians. Yeah, as I had

177
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: a fractured skull, I'm sure he do. We talked about this, well,

178
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: if you had a fractured skull, I'm pretty sure you

179
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: had a concussion. Yeah, Look, you can feel it right

180
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: there if you I didn't, this happen and mine was

181
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: right there too, and it was I looked like the

182
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: elephant man. Yeah, forehead was like two inches out. Me too,

183
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: it looked like there was an egg under my skull.

184
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: This happened during your days as the Flyers ice girls,

185
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: which is true that you were listen. I was in college,

186
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's you've You've come closer to professional

187
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: sports than anyone else. And so I, yes, I was

188
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: a Flyer's ice girl when I was in college because

189
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have a job. And uh, they basically, the

190
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: Flyers hired a bunch of girls who didn't know how

191
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: to skate and then decided that they were going to

192
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: give them lessons to teach them how to skate, and

193
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: they were supposed to like go out and I don't

194
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: do stuff on the ice or whatever. And then they

195
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: realized that this was going to be a major undertaking.

196
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: So my I had a family friend that worked at

197
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: a sports radio station and I used to be a

198
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: competitive figure skater, so she was like, Hey, do you

199
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: want a job with the Flyers. You just have to

200
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: like stand by the zamboni shoot with the ice crew

201
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: and then during the TV time outs, go out and

202
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: scrape up the ice around the nets and like next

203
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: to the bench. And I was like, they're gonna pay

204
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: me to go to every Home Flyers game and just

205
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: like stand at the zamboni shoot. Yeah. Okay, so it

206
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: was awesome, but it definitely I didn't get a concussion

207
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: from that, Thank god. I got it. Uh playing softball

208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: and a girl, her name was Colleen. She had an

209
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: aluminum bat and she practiced swung into my forehead as

210
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: I was walking by. Oh, I think evil Colleen was

211
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: trying to take you out. I know it was awful. Yeah,

212
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I know. I remember this story from last year when

213
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: you were playing softball. Yeah, because I I can't be

214
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, And Dan was like I don't understand.

215
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to be the catcher? And I

216
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: was like, I've had a traumatic incident with a bat

217
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: that closed in my head. I can't do it. Um.

218
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, concussions, how about it everybody? But yeah, getting

219
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: back to like when you when you are thinking about

220
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: the team, team, and to some instance the doctors, like

221
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Gel gets a view that they all don't get, Like

222
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: Tom's job is to be a quarterback, to walk around

223
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: the facility to talk to people, but she's the only

224
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: one that sees him dealing with his kids, making the

225
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: coffee maker getting the milk out of the fridge, and

226
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: as Tom intimated, there she has access to that information

227
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: that nobody else did, right, And it's sort of an

228
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: unsolvable problem. Not that you don't want to try to

229
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: keep getting better, but we are at a point now

230
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: where I think players are have a lot of information

231
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: about concussions. The NFL does a lot to try to

232
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: prevent concussions, a lot of it is on some of

233
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: it is still going to be on the players to

234
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: report their own concussion. And I just thought it's an

235
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: interesting dichotomy of a guy who's releasing a book, the

236
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: TV twelve Method, how to achieve a lifetime of the

237
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: stained peak performance, that he's all about health. Mark Sessler's

238
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: has his recipes and he's going to be doing a

239
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: great piece, uh you know coming up, you know, going

240
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: by his diet and everything. But there is a weird

241
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: dichotomy of someone who could not be more concerned about

242
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: his health that's still willing to take the risks of

243
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: permanent brain damage every time he steps on the field,

244
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: and then maybe exacerbated by not reporting uh concussions while

245
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: he's playing, because what is more risky for long year

246
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: long term health than having concussions, and and you can't,

247
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: like you wouldn't expect for him to give up that

248
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: competitiveness and change who he is as a person. But

249
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: it is a it's a weird dichotomy. I think that's

250
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: simplistic to say not reporting concussions. I don't think he

251
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: knew at the time he was concussed. I don't think

252
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: it's until afterwards where he's like, you know what, when

253
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: I was feeling that way at night, I was probably concussed.

254
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's about reporting it or not

255
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: reporting it. I think it's a very complex, nuanced gray area.

256
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Well that's that, But that's partly not true because at

257
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: that point you go into the team, you report it,

258
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: and it gets reported on the injury report as a concussion,

259
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: and you go into the protocol and he hasn't ever

260
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: done that. So it so at on some level, your bodies,

261
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: your body is a very complex organism. Take it from

262
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: someone who's going through something weird right now, I don't

263
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: ever know what's going on with my body, and I

264
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: could not tell you. The most exacerbating part of what

265
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm going through is not knowing from day to day,

266
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with my own body? And I

267
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: think that Tom Birdie probably did not know. Yeah, I

268
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: really think that it's gonna have to take the science

269
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: catching up to a point where we can just sit

270
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: somebody on a machine and say this is what happened,

271
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: this is when it happened, and then we can go

272
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: from there until until then, it's just this. It's a

273
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: circular version of this conversation. Yea, by the way, West,

274
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? You look good? I can't eat,

275
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: that's the problem. It's it changes from day to day,

276
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: Like I'm down thirty pounds and I have no energy.

277
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Crap pounds in six weeks. Yeah, you know, I'll be

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: honest with you. A month ago, I felt guilty because

279
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: cancer really hadn't affected my quality of life at all,

280
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: and I'm like, cancer is not so bad, you know,

281
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: And now the last three weeks I'm just like, this

282
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: is this is kind of hell. You. Yeah, it's just

283
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: the inability to eat and drink because of the radiation

284
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: swelling my esophagus and radiations over. It ended Monday, thank god.

285
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: But in your chemo treatments are over on Friday. Right

286
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: on Friday, will be my last one, and doctors said,

287
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: don't expect the eating and drinking to get better in

288
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: a week, but in two to three weeks you should

289
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: start to feel pretty normal again. Really, so then at

290
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: that point I'll meet with the surgeon and we'll probably

291
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: decide to have surgery in August, get all that bad

292
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: cancer out of my body and hopefully resume normal quality

293
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: of life. Well, we're glad you're here. We're glad that

294
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: the radiation and the chemo are coming to an end,

295
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and hopefully you're going to be able to eat again soon.

296
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: You know what you're like when you're finally feeling better,

297
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: do you do? You know what you want to eat?

298
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: I have been dreaming of cheeseburger, Yes, I really maybe?

299
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes? Okay? Alright? West West is like the

300
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: toughest guy I know, even before this off, he said

301
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: he he's felt that the last you know, three weeks,

302
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: And for him to say that, no, it has to

303
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: be serious. And yet he was still out there last

304
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: last week, and we have gotten some tweet death out

305
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: there playing softball and being a contributor to a big

306
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Shield blowout victory. I played the first three or four

307
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: innings and then just had no energy. And I heard

308
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: the standing coach because Dan wasn't there, say Greg come

309
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: out of the game. And I said, no, no no, no, Greg,

310
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: stay in the game. West come out of the game.

311
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Then we had a pretty commanding lead, and I said,

312
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: my work is done. I I thought I was gonna

313
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: keel over right there on the field, like just like

314
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: Fate from lack of energy. So yeah, I was happy

315
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: that we won. It was a big game. You're gonna

316
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: have to go through it without me tonight because I

317
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: know I can't make it through tonight. What's the record

318
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: right now? We are five and four, so right on

319
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the borderline of the playoffs. Three games left. Three games?

320
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: Oh man, down the stretch. All right, let's get back

321
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: to some football. Sammy Watkins uh, he believes the draft

322
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: class of will quote change the market. We gotta get

323
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: paid more, Watkins said, Now this is coming after and

324
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: be a free agency. A lot of the players are

325
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: watching these massive contracts that the basketball players are getting

326
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: and they're saying, I mean, our league generates more money,

327
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: it's a more dangerous sport. We should be getting paid

328
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: just like them, if not more. And there's a ton

329
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: of guys coming up for deals, Jenevian Clowney, Khalil Mack,

330
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Taylor, Luana to back Um, the list goes on.

331
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a star studded class

332
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: with a lot of dollar signs. There's football players do

333
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: deserve more money, but there's several issues with this. You're

334
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: paying at least fifty three, oftentimes ninety players in football.

335
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: NBA teams are paying twelve to fifteen players. It's a

336
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: lot different baseball to Baseball has got a much smaller

337
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: roster than football. You can't afford to pay players as

338
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: much money, so that's part of it. And football players

339
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: are never gonna get guaranteed contracts. It's just never gonna

340
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: happen because of the injury risk. If if, if if

341
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: a few players, at least if a quarterback could say

342
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: a group of quarterbacks established the point where I'm gonna

343
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: play for a guarantee contract, which is whatever it is.

344
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Let's say Kirk Cousins wants to do that, and he

345
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: can say that this is coming up, this is for me,

346
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: then maybe somebody else can say I want that Kirk Cousins.

347
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: There's been rumors about that for quarterbacks, especially that Andrew

348
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: luck was going to get a fully guaranteed didn't didn't,

349
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. I think it would be hard to find

350
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: a GM willing to do that because then they face

351
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: fire from all every other GM and owner in the league.

352
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 1: But that's that's where it's got to start. Because not

353
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins. No, probably not what Kirk, but but

354
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: for the argument, like, there's two sides of that argument

355
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: with we can't guarantee players contracts because they're it's so dangerous. Well,

356
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: the the opposite side of that is you should guarantee

357
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: players contracts because they are so dangerous. Well. And the

358
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins thing just stuck out to me just because

359
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: it reminded me how the NBA is has a better

360
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: hot stove than the NFL at this point, maybe they

361
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: always have. The NBA also has a better hot stove

362
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: than regular season somewhereas football's regular season is really good, right,

363
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: and and they do have such a compelling Uh it's

364
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: not about the money being spent, but it just got

365
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: me that, like, you know, it's at the wrong time

366
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: a year for the NBA, but it is there's something

367
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: to it. I mean, there's there if you could somehow

368
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: engineer in a way to have a little more player

369
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: movement or or free up away that there can be

370
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: more trades there has been in the NFL than that

371
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: would be a good thing. The NFL also has historically

372
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: and currently the weakest union of the baseball and basketball.

373
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, baseball has possibly the strongest union in America.

374
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: They get what they want. Basketball has got a fairly

375
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: strong union. It is the NFL always loses to the owners.

376
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: There's like a lot of complety, like real reasons for it,

377
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: but it is always weird, Like George Hill make you know,

378
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: is going to have a better contract than Tom Brady

379
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: or whoever it is. You know, some a million exam

380
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: there's some generic left handed reliever will make more than Tom.

381
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: But but the whole I think we're you're looking at

382
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: Greg is there's a whole genre of an NBA season

383
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: that we don't really get for an NFL play, Like

384
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: there's you can have twenty or thirty NBA guys bet

385
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: on themselves because the BET's less risky. Yeah, it's harder

386
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: for an NFL player to say, oh, you know, I'll

387
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: take some money this year and hope to get it

388
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: next year, Like, if I don't get this money now,

389
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I might never get paid. And players, really good teams

390
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: never let players that they want to keep leave, Like

391
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins is an interesting case because he sort of

392
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: has had to have have struggles and and annoy the

393
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: Bills in some way to even be looking at that

394
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: free agency market next year. And yet if he did

395
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: make it, he probably would make as much money as

396
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Julio Jones or AJ Green because because good players don't

397
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: make it to the free agent market like that, that's true.

398
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: One of the guys from that class, Gabe Jackson, he

399
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: signed a five year extension worth a reported fifty six

400
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: million dollars, So they were just waiting basically to sign

401
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Then came Gabe Jackson, and apparently Car left

402
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: some money on the table bow four Jackson so he

403
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: could get that deal and everything, and everybody is very

404
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: happy in raiders Land, Pro Bowl, Probowl caliber guard in

405
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: his prime on one of the best offensive lines in

406
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, it's a great line. I mean, another

407
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: positive thing about the Raiders there for the past three days,

408
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: in separate news hits said that gave Jackson says that

409
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is the most selfless person he's ever met. Wow,

410
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: that's Gandhi. You've been kind of reshaping some gave Jackson,

411
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: not reshaping Greg. I've said that verbatim three days the

412
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: Gandhi quarterbacks. Are you about to say that again? And

413
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: about is about to run downstairs? And I actually was

414
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: on a news shift the day that Derek Carr signed

415
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: his deal and I reworked David Carr's tweet about buying

416
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: him lunch many times over. They they're still looking for

417
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: a right tackle, but they built a offensive line from scratch.

418
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: Regie mackenzie did mostly with free agents, but with collecchi

419
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: Assemily Donald, Ben Ronald Rodney Hudson and Gabe Jackson in

420
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: the draft now probably the best, maybe the best line.

421
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Do you think it's better than the Cowboys, especially with

422
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: the I mean no, I think a lot of people

423
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: are writing off the Cowboys and they shouldn't just be

424
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: gonna go through the magic of editing. The listeners might

425
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: not even know. Maybe come maybe come back up if

426
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't take long, okay, by I don't know. Like

427
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you could argue have the best left tackle,

428
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: best guard, and best center in the NFL. It's hard

429
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: to beat that. Yeah, it's it's a strong line. I

430
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: mean that's great too for Derek Carr. I love what

431
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: the organization has done to keep them all together. It's

432
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: i mean awesome for their offense. Yeah, you're you're right.

433
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Like now I'm trying to like compare the two lines.

434
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: Do you write the Cowboys have to get the edge

435
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: because they might have the best three guys at three

436
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: separate positions. They do have two question marks this year

437
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: that sort of brings them down. You're gonna have, but

438
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: Collins was a very highly tower. Yeah, who is now

439
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: going to be their right tackle position. He hasn't played

440
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: as could be an upgrade on He could be great

441
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: like he I'm writing about him just briefly as kind

442
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: of a guy who's kind of a key to to

443
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: their team, kind of a guy people have forgotten about.

444
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Like if if he's as good as they once thought,

445
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: and he's ever played tackle at the NFL level, so

446
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: maybe he's gonna be awesome. That's what he played left tackle, Uh,

447
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's a difference maker and they're better,

448
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: like what you know, watch out. But if you know,

449
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: if he ends up being a weak spot, and they've

450
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: got a new left guard. Maybe they won't be quite

451
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: as good as they've been in the past. Where and

452
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: when can we read this piece? This is the post

453
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: type All Stars. I believe it's riding. That's been a

454
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Greg staple going bringing it back. Okay, all right, let's

455
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: talk about some Eagles stuff. So the Eagles they cut

456
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: Doroyle Green Beckham. Uh. They're trying to get that wide

457
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: receiver corps settled. They brought in all Sean Jeffrey obviously,

458
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: and Tori Smith. Matthews is there. They low key they

459
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: fired their wide receiver coach, Greg Lewis hired a new guy.

460
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: I think that might help because they had just one

461
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver last year with more than thirty six catches

462
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: last season. That was abysmal, So d GB not in

463
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: the mix anymore. Greg Lewis was on the receiving end

464
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: of one one of the most amazing last second victories

465
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: in NFL history, on a Brett far pass in the

466
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: back of the end zone, which was spectacular. Look that

467
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: up everywhere Google Far up to Greg Lewis game winner.

468
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: This is more interesting than it is. I kind of

469
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: like that story. I thought what you were gonna say,

470
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: is Greg Lewis, I caught one of the more meaningless

471
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: last minute touchdowns in a very nice catch as well.

472
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: Uh in Super Bowl. That's what I was thinking too. Yeah,

473
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: he cut the touchdown that that cut the lead late

474
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: in that Patriots Eagles game after Donovan mcnabbs, you know,

475
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: seven night. I remember very well probably not going to

476
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: achieve as much as as Greg Lewis despite a lot

477
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: of probably not hype in his career. I don't blame

478
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: them for China trade from though they gave him nothing.

479
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah the Eagles, Yeah, they gave up an offensive um.

480
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: The Eagles also can avoid paying Ryan Matthews and injury

481
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: settlement by waiting until he's medically cleared to release him.

482
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: That stems from the neck injury that he suffered last year.

483
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: So he could be a free agent soon. And I

484
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: don't know what's the best case scenario for him, because

485
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how serious it is. I I threw

486
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: that in there because it's it's just a story I

487
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: almost forgot about at this point that he still rostis.

488
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: That explains why it shows how hardcore, how tough the

489
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: NFL is. To Patrick's point earlier about guaranteed contracts that there.

490
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: They just don't want to pay him money, so they're

491
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna wait till he can pass a test from like

492
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: the you know, life affecting neck injury that he's going

493
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: to have, so that they can pay him less money,

494
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: and he probably won't. Who knows, maybe he won't get

495
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: a job. I mean it's tough to get a job

496
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: as a running back with neck injuries. Yeah, that's neck

497
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: injury is gonna be tough for him. And I'm looking

498
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: through the rosters now, I don't see a team that's

499
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: like so desperate at running back that they would run

500
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: out and sign him. Ravens came to mind. Maybe you're

501
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: not desk. I mean, they can get by. But the

502
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: Giants that they're going to be without Kenneth Dixon earlier

503
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: in the year, maybe they give Ryan Matthews a shot.

504
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: It's weird because I think it was Darren Sprowles who

505
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: was quoted as talking about la Garrett Blunt and Ryan

506
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: Matthews sharing the workload. Yeah, but that's just a good guy.

507
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: I I read that too. I read that as a

508
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: good guy talking about his friend in a respectful way,

509
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: even if he knows that's maybe not likely. You're not

510
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: going to talk about like the guy like he's not there,

511
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: he's still on the team. It's a weird it's a

512
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: weird situation. Okay, uh, not a weird situation. Actually, this

513
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: is a weird situation there. So there was a firework

514
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: that he's really are because a misfired fireworks shell exploded

515
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: at Nissan Stadium, which is the Titan Stadium. Now, I

516
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: mean when I first read this, I was thinking, oh,

517
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: you know you a lot of times on July four

518
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: here like things outside of your house and you're like,

519
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, what was that? And then it turns

520
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: out to be nothing. It was just something that like

521
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: barely miss your house. This blew out concrete and some

522
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: seats in the upper deck. What are we going here?

523
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: I know, why are we allowed? Why is it legal

524
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: to shoot off something that can take out concrete and

525
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: seats in the stadium. Yeah, I think you're saying, what

526
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Why are we talking? A little

527
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: bit of a little bit it occurred to me, but

528
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: I just thought we should have our fourth of July

529
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: NFL disaster story of year. I mean, this isn't ask

530
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: No one was injured. It just her. You know, so

531
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: no one lost any fingers or anything like that. But yeah,

532
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: this comes from a room where nobody watched the fireworks.

533
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: Nobody did anybody see one firework? Seen one? You've seen

534
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: them all? I mean, alright, still go to bed like early,

535
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be ready for it. What other seven century

536
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: technology still exists today? I mean I had to sit

537
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: and just hold my dog for hours on end. He

538
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: was shaking so bad from the fireworks. It's awful. He

539
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: hates July four and New Year's I think the kids,

540
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: it's fun for kids by all means, go have fun

541
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: watching fireworks. Adults who get all geeked up about it.

542
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Calm down. I love fireworks because I love solid Calmed down.

543
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't think fireworks mean you love America. Now it's

544
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: fireworks at at ten o'clock are fine. The two o'clock

545
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: it sounds like a word zone outside my window is

546
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: not okay while they're taking out concrete and seats. My

547
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: brother used to like bring home fireworks from Maryland and

548
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: like you would buy them in bulk and then drive

549
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: home and keep them in the basement, and my parents

550
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: would find them and be like, what the hell is

551
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: this tim and they would try and get rid of

552
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: all the fireworks. Maybe, yeah, maybe maybe I'll change if

553
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: I get older. But yeah, fireworks seem similar to me,

554
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: Like the people that get they love the fireworks celebration,

555
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: but don't have kids, but they're adults. Seemed like the

556
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: same type that, like the adults that go to Disneyland

557
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: but without kids. That's really Oh, we just took a

558
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: shot at our former producer. She's on the borderline. I

559
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: love Sydney. She knows that she's still growing. I still

560
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: think still as a kid here for the Mickey Mouse boys,

561
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it or even like the fourth Yeah,

562
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: that was like we went to the Fourth of July parade,

563
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: I did that, which was that Santa Monica. It's down

564
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: me great. The kids love that. Even that one seems

565
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: a little like I don't know if I would just

566
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: go to that. I just as an adult, you need

567
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: the kids there. I do think if you going to

568
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: have a proper Fourth of July party, it's important to

569
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: have at least one fireworks guy in the mix. You

570
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: know who they are. Would be one guy who knows

571
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: how to handle fireworks, and it's pretty safe around him too.

572
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: He's been doing it his whole life, you know, and

573
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: he gets it. He gets a thrill out of you

574
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: gotta have a fireworks. Tally has like the biggest grin

575
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: on his face right now. Did you set off any fireworks? Yeah,

576
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: we have fireworks. I could look at Sally, I could

577
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: just like look at your profile picture on Twitter or whatever. No,

578
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: you're the fireworks guy, like I just I just know

579
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: you are. Yeah, I like fireworks. They're fun. Finally, and finally,

580
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, he's going to be going into the Hall

581
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: of Fame and he chose his wife as his presenter

582
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame. So, um, maybe we do

583
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: a little who would you choose for this big offer?

584
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: And maybe we should keep spouses and significant others out

585
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: of it, because that feel like okay, I mean I would,

586
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: I guess I know you would go Amica would Why

587
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: did you do that? If you're gonna if you're gonna

588
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: choose a significant other spouse, you have to choose somebody

589
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: else too. Well. I would not my wife. I would

590
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: not choose my wife because the last thing she would

591
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: want to do is like public speaking in front of

592
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people, like she would they hate me

593
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: to ask where, No, seriously, Like, I'm sure that goes

594
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: into the presenting decisions. It's kind of you know, you

595
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: want you want someone to do it that wants that

596
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: wants to do it. She would absolutely not. Wasn't Kurt Warner,

597
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: isn't his wife Ovisually it's a lot of times it's

598
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: a teammate. Oh, yeah, that's true. I didn't really think

599
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: about this question. But I didn't think about it. I

600
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: didn't even see it till now. That's a lot of pressure.

601
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: I would choose someone that nobody knows my husband John. Oh, well,

602
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: this way people could get introduced to him. That's true.

603
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: You guys know John right, John Poe mar twelve. It

604
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: is an American sports writer, was married NFL media broadcaster

605
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: College Wolf. John was as resides in Los Angeles with

606
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: his wife and jew dogs. So there's an option. Well,

607
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: in my head, I'm thinking that it's like somehow a

608
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: work hall of fame. I guess I don't know it

609
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: would it would be cool to like have, like I think,

610
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: write a song for me. And I'm not just saying

611
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: oh that would be good. Right, A celebrity too, Yeah,

612
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I got the Philly involved with Yeah, I love the roots.

613
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: West would be a strong I'm not just saying this

614
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: because you're here. West West would be a pretty I

615
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: think it might be my pick just because Hartly, because

616
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of time together that he's been

617
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: with me on both sides at Rhoda World and here,

618
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: and if it's you know, if we're kind of talking

619
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: about who better better the West words, he's a word smith. Well,

620
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying this either, but several people entered

621
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: my mind and Greg was the first one. Wow, Now

622
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: should I leave the room? Should I leave you alone?

623
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: We want to pick this up here a little bit.

624
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if you should let

625
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: Dan know about those my oldest friend and the Catholic priests.

626
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: That's really that's stiff competition. And the owner of hucka

627
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: Poo's is one of my dearest friends and he's a

628
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: great public speaker. So there would be there would be

629
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: a few people I'd be choosing from, but Greg would

630
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: definitely be right there, right there to the top. Yeah,

631
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: it feels like it's tough to decide. My co host

632
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: of the Rosenthal and justin the project, there you go.

633
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: Anthony would be a strong choice. But I don't think

634
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: I would choose him. He just roast you the whole time,

635
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: seemingly meaningful man, at least what he memorable. Then it

636
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: would be, that would actually be. It could be. It

637
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: could be one of the best speeches ever. He he roast.

638
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: He basically roasted me at my own wedding. So really, yeah,

639
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: more or less? Is there audio of that anywhere? I

640
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope not right there at the Delaware

641
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: I know, damn it, you beat me the joke. It

642
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: was alright, So West, you had an amazing idea in

643
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the night last night for a little

644
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: game for us to play. And you know what that game?

645
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Miss Hello, We've been waiting for you. It's time to

646
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: play the Holiday quarterback game. Whoa yeah, a little holiday

647
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: quarterback game. Nice job, Sully, Little John C game. So

648
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: you thought about this in the middle of the night.

649
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Greg hit me up right before bad saying, you know,

650
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: we we desperately need to come up with a segment

651
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. We got nothing and I was too tired

652
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: to think about It's like feeling like hasn't You're gonna

653
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: have to beat that out? Sully as an eight and

654
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: all day and I'm bugging him at ten PM, like, yeah,

655
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: can you do my job? Can you do our jobs

656
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: for us? With I saw that text and I was

657
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of freshure. I don't know, unsung hero separate.

658
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: I well, I sleep very weird hours now. So I

659
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: woke up about three o'clock in the morning and I

660
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: started watching All or Nothing and I thought, wait, we

661
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: could do all or Nothing as their segment. I was like, no,

662
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: this is Born's come up with something new. And I

663
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: was reading Road a World and one of the Texans

664
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: beat writers had a prediction that Tom Savage will be

665
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback at least until mid season, and I so badly,

666
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: so badly wanted to tear that prediction down. So I

667
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: invented this game. Alright, so Clay Bonne is back just

668
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: in time for the game. So this is how the

669
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: game is gonna work. We're gonna throw out some names,

670
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go around the room and say, will

671
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks last as the starter until this specific holiday?

672
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: So we have a couple of holidays here, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving,

673
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Labor Day, Chris Mis, Christmas, etcetera. All right, you guys, ready,

674
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: there is a possibility some of these starting quarterbacks don't

675
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: even make it the labor Day, which means they lose

676
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: their job in the preseason. Are there any okay? I

677
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: mean you you were the Milton Bradley of the game. Yes,

678
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: Is there anything that Colleen kind of didn't interpret correctly?

679
00:35:52,719 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: Oh no, she's all over this. Okay, So are we

680
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: going by quarterback or are we going by holiday quarterback?

681
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: We're just kind of flushing this out live. Is Claibons

682
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: mic On, Let's get let's get claibon On he Okay, okay,

683
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: so let's start with Oh, Tom Savage, let's start with

684
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: the guy who initiated the idea for this game. Right,

685
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: So this beat writer predicts that he'll make it to

686
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: mid season, And my first thought was, what do you knew?

687
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: Seriously to the job to Bill O'Brien's career. Bill O'Brien

688
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: once benched his starting quarterback three quarters into the season opener.

689
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: It was Brian horder Yer, who is a better quarterback

690
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: than Tom saw. You don't know that, of course we do.

691
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: He couldn't even beat out Brian Hoyer when they played

692
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: for the same team. Also, he can't stay healthy for

693
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: more than a game. At a time. Tom Savage will

694
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: not last past I mean, I'd like to say Columbus Day,

695
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: which is October nine, but we'll go Halloween. There's no

696
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: way he's lasting past Halloween. They'll be injured by Yeah.

697
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: The date that I was putting on our man Tom

698
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: Savage is Veterans Day. Um, because looking at the schedule,

699
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: I could say, all right, so he makes it passed Halloween,

700
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: but not Yeah, because the situation that you're gonna have

701
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: is when do you want your rookie quarterback making his

702
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: first start? And one one spot that it could be

703
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: is right after the game against the Chiefs. They there

704
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: at home against the Browns, so we could go there.

705
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe they win a couple of games.

706
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: Maybe Tom Savage saves his job. Bill comes out during

707
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: the week, he does that thing where he lies about

708
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: which quarterback is going to play, and then DeShawn gets

709
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: to start. So yeah, Veterans Day is my pick. Is

710
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: there anything to some Tom Savage understanding the system better

711
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: than DeShawn because DeShawn is a rookie. Maybe, I mean

712
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: they just need a game manager. They have all the

713
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: pieces on offense, they have a defense, They just need

714
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: somebody to not mess it up, and I don't know

715
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: if Tom Savage can do that because it seems like

716
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to do it in the past.

717
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: Of course it's an advantage. The flying an ointment here

718
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 1: is that Tom Savage isn't a very good football player,

719
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: and he's one of these guys who Greg's gonna tell

720
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: me you can't say that. But he's a lot like

721
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Zach Mettenberger. He moves so deliberately in the pocket, is

722
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: slow to get rid of the ball. He's going to

723
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: be sacked a lot, He's going to be injured a lot.

724
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: The Texans are in a winnable division. They've won the

725
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: Division two in the last three years. They want to

726
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: win now. And the NFL season is episodic. Well then

727
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: maybe is there Every week there is debate on the

728
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: talk radio amongst the fans in the coaching staff. After

729
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: every week they're gonna say we we can't win with

730
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: this guy. At some point, I'm surprised you didn't say

731
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: Columbus day. Then they do. They do have three That's

732
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: when I first said that that they didn't have They

733
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: have three straight home games Week four or five and six,

734
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: and then a bye. So I'm gonna say Halloween because

735
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: that by there at week seven, that's often a time

736
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: you make changes. The only thing about Tom Savage is

737
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: I hear you. I think he did a few nice

738
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: things in his games. He didn't make mistake big mistakes

739
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: in his game. All I'm saying is, let's just watch

740
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: him before we say his career is over. He's barely played,

741
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: he got hurt, uh the couple. We have to do

742
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: that with every player in the league now, or what

743
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,479
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't decide on players too much until

744
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: they play in the right We've seen him play. I've

745
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: seen every throw of Tom Savage's career and there's been

746
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: like sixty seventy of them, and I think he's played fine.

747
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: What's the value of waiting until Zach Mettenberger loses his

748
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: job before saying he's not very good? There's no value,

749
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: and that whatsoever was more than enough for Jimmy Garoppolo

750
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: to be the greatest. Like I think, I think, let's

751
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: just give him a shot. I don't think. I think

752
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: if you really look closely at his games last year,

753
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: he had the one game where we got all excited,

754
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: where he played played pretty well. He had the Bengals

755
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: game where he when he came in and relief. Yeah,

756
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: it's a much different thing. And starting the Bengals game

757
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: where he didn't play well. But he also had the

758
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: Bengals game which was one of the worst starts by

759
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the two thousand six but I think

760
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: it was one of the worst offensive line games and

761
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: he actually made he made his offensive line look way

762
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: worse than they were. He held the ball ouch. One

763
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: thing about Tom that I think I'm on the same

764
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: level as Wester. I just want to see Tom Savage

765
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: make a play like that would be nice, that would

766
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: make me feel better about him. Keeping he made plays

767
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: in that game. He came in and threw a couple

768
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: deep down the field that DeAndre Hopkins plays outside the

769
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: sideline that just weren't being made before. I'm not saying

770
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good. I was just gonna watch him

771
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: significant accuracy accuracy issues going back to college and still

772
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: in the pros. We also don't know if he's real.

773
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: All Right, that's a lot of Tom Savage talk. That's

774
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: enough for one day. Let's move on to Mike Lennon.

775
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon, I'm going I'm going to give Mike Lennon until, uh, Halloween.

776
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: I feel like that, well, wait, yeah, Halloween, I'm giving

777
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: him to Halloween. I feel like John Fox is kind

778
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: of on the hot seat. He needs to make moves,

779
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: and he's not going to have any problem putting Trabiskie

780
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: in earlier. I mean, I think that he could put

781
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: him in earlier than Halloween. I think Mike Glennon doesn't

782
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: last until he doesn't play, doesn't start until after Halloween.

783
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: M hmm. I'd give him till Thanksgiving. They paid him

784
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars. Yeah, but I feel like the front

785
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: office and the coaching staff are not on the same page.

786
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: He's a lot more talented than Tom Savage, in my opinion.

787
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: I think Glennon is ideally a high end backup quarterback,

788
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: but he's better than Tom Savage. The problem is that

789
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and I'd like to see them be patient,

790
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: and it doesn't make sense to me to rush mitch

791
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Ard Bisky. I don't know who's going to be making decisions,

792
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: whether it's John Fox, but they start with Atlanta at

793
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: Tampa versus you know, against the Steelers at Green Bay.

794
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: It's like Vikings Ravens I guess there's no easy games

795
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: for the Bears, But what's the best case scenario before

796
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: they're by In the best case scenario, I would consider

797
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon and the Bears who have overachieved. If there

798
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: are two and six heading into that by let's let's

799
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: get weird. I've got it. I've got it. On Columbus Day,

800
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: which falls on a Monday, which is the Monday Night

801
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: football where they play the Vikings. Why not? Why not? Why?

802
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not have Mr Rubisky make his first

803
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: NFL start on the Monday night football game? Where like it?

804
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: Like he's like you mentioned Greg, I like it Abes

805
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: Bucks at the Packers. I mean, like, what are the

806
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: Bears gonna be playing for here? Come on, I'm rooting

807
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: for Mike Glenning because I think he could be good.

808
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: But you've convinced me that argument makes some sense to me,

809
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to stick it in Columbus's I

810
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: it's the only holiday that we did not get a

811
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: sound drop for, because, let's face it, Columbus Day. Come on,

812
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: what you don't think Columbus Day deserves just saying it's

813
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: not a real holiday. That's kind of like a it's

814
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: like a Valentine's Day or something we can we can

815
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: do better, but from four eighty to fifteen, we can

816
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: probably find somebody that's more deserving over I. I completely

817
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: agree in day or something, sard Thomas Payne day. Let's

818
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, what about Josh McCown. Europe. Oh, it's tough.

819
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: It's tough with McCown because you're thinking, here's here's my

820
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: McCown tinfoil hat. Just I'm just gonna put it on

821
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: because Josh McCown is my duty's down for the cause.

822
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: I think the Jets somehow in a crazy world wind

823
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: up two and two and they realized like, hey, this

824
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: is what this isn't what we want to do. It's

825
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: so Josh McCown, Josh ac count is out of there

826
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: because they're doing too well. Yeah, because because they want

827
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: to get a you know, one of those quote unquote

828
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: looks at the future. And so yeah, Josh McCown loses

829
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: his job by mid August. Not not he doesn't even

830
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: make it to Labor Day. Oh, he has to go.

831
00:43:55,640 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: And it's kind of what's the holiday I'm looking for here? Columbia,

832
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: Joshua Collen is out of there before Halloween. I'm gonna

833
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: go Labor Day. I love the reports that hack him

834
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: and Hackenburg aren't actually that far apart, even though we

835
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: heard that Hackenburg was hitting reporters on the scie fine

836
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: with Eric throws, so it's just not a good scenario there.

837
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: Their their wide receiver corps is abysmal, and I have

838
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: no idea who the starting quarterback is going to pay

839
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: well time honored o t a tradition, which quarterback is

840
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: hitting the reporters. I love that storyline always. I always

841
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: get r G three is throwing it in the backyards.

842
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go even earlier than that Monday. It'll either

843
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: be Monday, September eight or Tuesday. Uh. The nineteen options

844
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: there is it's National Cheeseburger Day on the scene and

845
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: tight we could be celebrating National Cheeseburger Day. Oh my god,

846
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: yes we will be celebrating with West National Cheeseburger Day

847
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: on the same day. Uh that they announced Christian Hackenburg

848
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: is starting the home opener three because McCown maybe he

849
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: got I actually think I don't want to you never

850
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: want to predict an injury. But he has not been

851
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: able to stay on the field. For very long because

852
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: he plays with a very reckless uh style. This begs

853
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: the question, then, at which holiday does Hackenburg get benched

854
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: for petty? The very next one holiday comes that they

855
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: have no holidays, it'll be one of those Instagram holidays.

856
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: National bottle cap Day. Yeah, fun fact. Today is National

857
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: fried Chicken Day. So sweet Greg's favorite food. Yeah, it

858
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: really is, really, Yeah, fri chicken is. I would say

859
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: fried chickens, fred chicken. Mexicans don't forget. These are very

860
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: like general specific that's an eclect dinner, but it sounds sake.

861
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean steak would be up there. But yeah, I

862
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: think your deathbed meal, you know, like you're gonna get

863
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: electrocuted or yeah, what what would that be? That was

864
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: what we were talking about. And I said, ultimately, right now,

865
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: I think it's changed over time, but I think I

866
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: would just go like fried chicken and like a biscuit.

867
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that would be so I think I'd

868
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: have to go to breakfast. And now we're talking a

869
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: nice pair of insulated gloves myself. Okay, okay, okay, let's

870
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: go to Let's talk about the Browns and Cody Kessler.

871
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm giving him until labor day. I feel like I've

872
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 1: given a lot of these guys until but it Deshaun

873
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: Kaiser is going to be the guy that I think

874
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be there. Man, I don't think that

875
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to push him off that long.

876
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 1: And Hugh Jackson we've been hearing about Cody Kessler having

877
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: a hard time, uh like struggle ing with passes, being

878
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: batted down at the line because he's too short and

879
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: he falls under the threshold that Hugh Jackson likes and

880
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that's six to mark. So whatever, either way, I

881
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: think is going to be the guy. Why the question

882
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: to me after he drafted? Yeah, I think code. I

883
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: think Kessler is better than people give him credit for.

884
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: Really I do. I think he's ultimately going to be

885
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: a backup in the NFL, but I think he can play.

886
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: He's got he's got a little quote McCoy in and

887
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: without the concussions. I'll give him to Halloween. I do

888
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see Kaiser this year. But I'm getting

889
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: to Halloween. I had that very same holiday for for

890
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler. For I like the story because, like Alleen mentioned, Mike,

891
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: this isn't the guy that Hugh really wanted on paper,

892
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: But it's it's this relationship that's going to be forged.

893
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler, the the concussion free Colt McCoy is West

894
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: Colt is gonna be out there slinging around and and

895
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: maybe winning the Browns and football games. And told it

896
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: it becomes time to you know, you have to go

897
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: into the mode of let's see what he has and

898
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: get to Shawn in the game, and then that that

899
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: lovable story is going to be crushed under the weight.

900
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: I wrote something that was mildly dismissive of Cody Kessler.

901
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: It was so similar to what you said, that he

902
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: played well, but but like better than people realize that

903
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: maybe his future is as a really good backup. Uh.

904
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: And I got some some real stat based information from

905
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: his agent, a few emails, very polite, and he made

906
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: a very slite Are you being an insider right now? No?

907
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: He I just got the emails breaking news. It was

908
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: not breaking. He made a compelling case of his rookie numbers,

909
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: and he went through the things and it was his

910
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: rookie year, and this, that and the other wasn't a

911
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: great offensive line. If you wanted to make a case

912
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: for Cody Kessler based on stats and some of the

913
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: context around him lesser like you can make it if

914
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: you're in the Cody Cusser. That's what I'm saying. Did

915
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: those numbers from his agent include his high weight and

916
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: Miles prow on sideline throws? That's tough. You've now changed

917
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: my mind. I'm going to give him to Yum Kapoor

918
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 1: because we have that September thirty. If I wish we

919
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: had Prepperace, we have a Hanakah drop. I'm afraid no

920
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: one's gonna make it to Hankah, So let's just play it.

921
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: This is kind of creepy. What was that that a

922
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: horror movie about it's children's singing dradal dradal drado. But

923
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: again yea again, Hans, this would not like this. It

924
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: sounds like something Mark picked out. Really, that's that's from

925
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: the upcoming? Uh? What you were a little like a

926
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: little Jewish troop like comes around the neighborhood singing your songs,

927
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: but really they kill you children, children of their drad Yeah,

928
00:49:53,360 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: when is this year Hanakah starts? I did went decemberwater

929
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: on there. Yeah, I was going to give our next guy,

930
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer Hanakah. But I'm going to give him until Christmas. Yeah, Christmas,

931
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: here's Matt Barkley. Yeah, I don't. I don't really see

932
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: any of the other quarterbacks on the roster, uh starting

933
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: ahead of him, plus him and Channa and they worked

934
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,959
Speaker 1: together for a year in Cleveland. Uh so he knows

935
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: his system a little bit. So now is just a

936
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: little bit of a refresher. And I mean, are the

937
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: forty Niners really looking to do anything this year besides

938
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: wait for Kirk Cousins. Possibly. I believe in Kyle Shanahan.

939
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: But if you look at the splits of Brian Hoyer's

940
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: career first half of the season versus second half, it's

941
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: night and day. He is an above average statistical quarterback

942
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: in the first half of the season and one of

943
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: the worst quarterbacks in the league in the second half

944
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: of the season. I'm going Hanakah the old there we go.

945
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: That sounds about right deep everybody, I think I'm going

946
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: hanaka with a little maybe C J. Bethard action starts

947
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: late in the year. We want to give him a look.

948
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they drafted him, why not? All right? Does

949
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: anyone have any other wild cards they want to throw out? Quarterbacks. Yeah,

950
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: I like the Paxton Lynch Trevor Simeon one. I'm gonna

951
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: say Simeon keeps the job and he takes it until

952
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving when the Broncos are out of the race. In

953
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: the a f C West, I say, trev goes coast

954
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: to coast. I had him at Labor Day that Trev's

955
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna get this job. And so Labor Day, labor days

956
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: the start of September. You well, I'm saying the next

957
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: Labor Day loses his job, loses the opportunity to get

958
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: the job because Trevor is gonna take it at labor

959
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: doing two holidays in there, I feel like, yeah, if Simmy,

960
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: if they struggle, I feel like that the hook would

961
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: be quick. So making it the whole season if he

962
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: got the starting job makes some sort of sense to me,

963
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: because I don't think they'll give him a long leash.

964
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: I think I'll have to stay above five really playing well,

965
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Paxton Lynch winning the job. I don't

966
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: know what that means for day or what, but I

967
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: think that, well, that's not part of the game. Greg.

968
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: I like Simeon better, but I just feel like they

969
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: want to play well, I think as long as it's

970
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: a healthy trove, you know. Yeah, this travel with the

971
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 1: shoulder injury was really bad. Trevor with a shoulder injury

972
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: behind a poorest offensive line and no running game was

973
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: really big. Didn't work out? Do you want to throw

974
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: in any other names? Tyrod Taylor, Jared GoF Is that disrespect?

975
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: I Rod Taylor's New Year's New Year's takes it? I

976
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: think so. Alex trying to get a contract Alex Smith,

977
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: Halloween two hearts started beating Fasten. Yeah, actually no, Sally,

978
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: that's the Halloween two you have to work on, all right, Gang,

979
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: should we wrap up this quarterback game? I'm gonna get

980
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: you on a plane, I know, I gotta go. All right,

981
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: It's been real everybody, fun times, good times. Great to
