It was a 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: big injury in basketball. It's not a I don't believe 60 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: it's a season ending injury, although it could be depending 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: on Yeah, but we're gonna start with football because that's 62 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: what pays the bills around these parts, and we like 63 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: to have the lights on all that stuff. So the Raiders, 64 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: which are like a team that used to be good, 65 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: you know, and then they sucked for a generation. They're 66 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: just an embarrassment, just an absolute investment by the Raiders 67 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: that made a move in free agency. You're like, well, Ben, 68 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: there's no one available in free agency. How could they 69 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: have made a move? All good player have already signed. 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: I know, I know. So if you haven't heard about this, 71 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: perhaps not. 72 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: We have learned the Raiders have agreed to a deal 73 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: with not your cousin, not my cousin, Kirk Cousins. Yep, yep, 74 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: that guy. Yeah, man, start up the old U haul. 75 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: There the ex redskin Viking and Falcon quarterback now heading 76 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: to just outside Area fifty one, and he will continue 77 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: his career. This comes just a couple of days after 78 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak had mentioned he wanted an adult to mentor 79 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: the next Raider quarterback of the future, and toda, here 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: we are. So the contract, which has a lot of 81 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: funny money in it's essentially. 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: A one year contract. I know you're very. 83 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: Concerned about the finances of Kirk Cousins. Twenty million dollars 84 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: a minimum salary, minimum salary one point three million from 85 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: Vegas and ten million dollar roster bonus. That's gotta be nice, man. 86 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: They still give out bonuses to some of these places. 87 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: That's great. 88 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: And the rest of the money will be paid out 89 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: by the Falcons. So they'll be paying out the rest 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: there who fired Cousins earlier this offseason. So that is 91 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. 92 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: Is Kirk Cousins in upgrade? We assume he's going to 93 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: be QB one and the starting QB there. So is 94 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins an upgrade from Gino Smith for the Raiders? 95 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 2: So I've got comfort food, Vincent van Gol and cigar 96 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: shop and we will combine all of these things together 97 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: and we're gonna go skinny dipping is what we're gonna 98 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: do that We're not all right? So a all right, listen, 99 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins upgrade all that stuff. It's a more attractive name, 100 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: does that make sense? 101 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: A better name. 102 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: Cousins has had more high water marks. 103 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: In his NFL career. He's got more sizzle, got more 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: of that. 105 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: Gino is more drizzle. Gino's more drizzle. And yet when 106 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: you peel back the label, here's the mind blowing part 107 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: of this rather sticky situation the Raiders find themselves in again, 108 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: when you peel back the label, it's the same product. 109 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: It's just different packaging. That's it. It's the same product. 110 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: And if you do the blind Pepsi challenge. If you 111 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: go back to last season, Cousins in Atlanta, Geno Smith 112 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: in Vegas, Gino Smith had an eighty four point seven 113 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: passer rating. Cousins was eighty four point eight. That's not 114 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 2: a gap. That's a rounding error, is what that is. Well, 115 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: we said, well that's only one year. Who cares about that? 116 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: All right? 117 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: The last three years that's a fair amount of time, right, Well, 118 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: it's a fair amount of time. So Cousins ninety two 119 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: point two passer rating, Gino Smith ninety point four. I 120 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 2: know it's a lot of numbers for you to process 121 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: because we're doing a radio show and you can't look 122 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: at it. 123 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: I got it. It's my hair brain plan. 124 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: But it's essentially am radio versus like a staticy FM station. 125 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: It isn't an upgrade like Tom Brady, what are you doing? 126 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: All right? 127 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: You check the Kirk Cousins thermometer and it's ninety seven 128 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: point nine degrees. That's the average temperature of a human being. 129 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: It's room temperature. Quarterbacking and Cousins is the human equivalent 130 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: of Eh, hey, how's cousin doing it? 131 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: Mah? Really that eh? 132 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 4: Eh? 133 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: All right? 134 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: So it's the NFL's comfort food, safe, bland, forgettable. 135 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: At this point, there was a time when. 136 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: Cousins was actually seen as a solid NFL quarterback. Just 137 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: avoid Monday night football and all that, and then avoid 138 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: the big games, and he's fine on a Saturday or 139 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: on Saturday, a Sunday afternoon at one o'clock when he 140 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: played for the Vikings at noon. And that's it. And 141 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: so it's it's not really progress. You essentially hired the 142 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: doppelganger of Geno Smith to play quarterback for the Raiders. 143 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: It's not really an upgrade. It's copy and paste, roster building. 144 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: It's a costume change. The same movie, same movie, same ending, 145 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: just a different actor, repeating, regurgitating the. 146 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: Lousy script, if you know what I mean. 147 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: Now turning the page, but not far because it is 148 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: the hour of Kirk Cousins. So keeping the rat tat 149 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: tat going. The question now is can you give me 150 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: the word, give me the word that describes Kirk Cousins 151 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: sojourn around the NFL as he started with the Redskins 152 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: and then bounced off the play for the Vikings and 153 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: the Falcons. So now he's going to his fourth NFL team, 154 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: So what is the word for all that. My word, 155 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: our bit bagger is my word. Kirk Cousins is running. 156 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: It's probably he's going to Vegas. He's running in Ocean's 157 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: eleven financial heist in plain daylight. 158 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: It's wild. 159 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: It's a magic carpet right right across the NFL, stopping 160 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: in every big city that has a check book and 161 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: will sign one over to him. All he has is 162 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: a pulse at this point, and it is a generational grift. 163 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: It is It is no only way to say it. 164 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: For Cousins. Think of it like. 165 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: The famous Vincent van Go painting the Starry Night. In 166 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: this case, it's the starry night of money extraction. And 167 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: you look around, You're like, well, Cousins has already stacked 168 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: over three hundred and twenty one million. He's third all time. 169 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: Did you know that Cousins is third all time on 170 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: the money list on field earnings, third all time? And 171 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: you break it down and it's like, whoa, how did 172 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: that happened? And he's closing in. By the end of 173 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: this year, If my malord math is correct, Kirk Cousins 174 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: will pass Tom Brady by and have made more money 175 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: on field than Tom Brady and he will trail only 176 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 2: La Ram quarterback Matthew Stafford for the penthouse of money, money, money, 177 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: And even when the engine sputters, and it often does sputter, 178 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 2: it's a balancing act. You're not winning, Kirk Cousins. When 179 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: the engine sputters, the ATM fortunately still spits out a 180 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: lot of cash, a lot of cash right there. Absolutely 181 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: now why because Cousins, he doesn't sign contracts. He's not 182 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: just your normal Hey, I just don't care how much 183 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 2: I make and all that, and bumbling along. 184 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: And all that. 185 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: No, what he has done, through his agent is install 186 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: escape patches. For example, cousins agent went down to Walgreens 187 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: or CVS and had a pill tossed into the Raiders 188 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 2: deal just in case, j I c just in case, 189 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 2: just in case he overperforms. Cousin goes on an amazing 190 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: run and everything's all great and rosy and all that. 191 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: So then he can either keep the Raiders, can keep 192 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: the contract and pay him a lot more, many more pasos, 193 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: or activate the poison pill, the trapdoor or the fine 194 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: print written in invisible ink. 195 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: And be free, be free. It's a masterclass. 196 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: It's not it really is not a contract. It's a 197 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: treasure map. It is, and it's not even Pinky promises. 198 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: It's beyond that. 199 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is not playing football, He's playing Monopoly. And 200 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: a football game and Monopoly take about the same amount 201 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: of time, and Cousins owns he's like he's in on Boardwalk. 202 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: He's got boardwalk. H all right, last word here, So 203 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: to the Mendoza line, Mendoza line. 204 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: We go a lot of blissful ignorance around the Mendoza line. 205 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: So the question here is what are the Raiders trying 206 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: to communicate here with adding Kirk Cousins, What are they 207 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 2: trying to communicate to Fernando Mendozo. So I'm gonna get 208 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 2: on my soapbox here, so give me a second. I 209 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: get my soapbox here, and my god, So they signed 210 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins the Raiders hours after Fernando Mendoza went out 211 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: and participated in the pro day. Does that seem subtle 212 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: to you, because it doesn't seem subtle to me. So 213 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: you went out there the Bloomington, Indiana rah rah, here 214 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: we go zip the football all over the place, and 215 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: you saw that, and immediately the next. 216 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: Day is like, we got to get this other guy. 217 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: That is a trip to the cigar shop in the 218 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: very back on the right hand side. If your futs 219 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 2: around in the back there, that's where they sell the 220 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: wacky Tobacci in the very back there. And so the 221 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 2: Raiders are essentially screaming from the top of the spear 222 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: in Vegas. They're screaming, you're not that guy, Pal, You're 223 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: not that guy. To Fernando Mendozo. 224 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Number one overall quarterbacks. 225 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: They start, that's the deal. It's plug and play. We've 226 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: talked about this in previous episodes of the show. You 227 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: plug him in, you play them, and that's it. 228 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: It's out of the box. 229 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: No assembly required, all of those things, no assembly required. 230 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: You have to go back a generation to find a 231 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: top pick that did not play right away. 232 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: That's Elijah Manning. And what did that get the Giants? Nothing? 233 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: Eli Manning a five hundred player, just a mediocre quarterback. 234 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 1: In the NFL and a couple. 235 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: Of lucky breaks in the playoffs, but other than that, 236 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: just complete zero. And they sat him. Shouldn't they have 237 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 2: gotten more from Eli Manning than what they got. He 238 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: wasn't very good in the Giants regular season games, but 239 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: they sat him, so he should have been good. 240 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. Or you all tell me if 241 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: you sit these guys they're great. 242 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: When you look at the data, that's not the case, 243 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: all right, And I tell you God, bless the fans, 244 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: all the Raider fans. I am having so much fun. 245 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: You are so stupid. I love all of you. 246 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: You're so dumb. 247 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: And I'm already getting the messages. I did a rant 248 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: about this the other day and I was like, I 249 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: was getting messages. Well, you know, let them sit. That's 250 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: smart football. That's why Tom Brady is so good. 251 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: Let him sit. 252 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: And my rebuttal is capital D delusional, Capital D delusional, 253 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: absolutely delusional. There is no proven advantage to parking Fernando 254 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: Mendoza and say sit down over there, get some hemorrhoids. 255 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: We'll get you some cream, get some You're gonna get 256 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: some hemorrhids. And I believe Cousins is thirty seven. 257 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: I believe. 258 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: So the real issue here, the real issue on this one, 259 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: and everyone's dancing around it, is pedigree. Tom Brady does 260 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: not believe Fernando Mendoza is a true and legitimate number 261 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: one pick. And it's not what he says, it's his 262 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: actions it's his actions that he's not there. And this 263 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: backs up and it's hot take validation that Fernanda Mendoza 264 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: is a mid round talent and the Raiders are gonna 265 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: take him because they have to take him and they 266 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: can't miss out and he could be good and Foamo 267 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: and all that crap, and they've already signed it. 268 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: They gut to start, Kirk Cousins, How embarrassing is this? 269 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: How embarrassing for Fernando Mendoza, Tom Braden, I'm leaving the guy. 270 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: He's unseasoned ground beef. 271 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: You want prime rib you want prime you want a Porterhouse, 272 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: you want a Ribby.
