Absolutely listen to that did 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: some scouting, I wouldn't blame. I listened, of course to 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: Colleen's new Odds and Ends drop That was a check in. 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: Moved to the twenty five minute mark Mark saw that 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: and heard the beginning of the show.

What a production of UM and you 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: Mark the West Hollywood Iron Eagle story at the bar 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: that brought back a lot of memories of the years. 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: There's more times that I could count as Mark going 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: around talking to people at a bar. And one thing, 18 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if we've ever talked about it, but 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: like when I'm around for these I kind of served 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: kind of like how the Secret Services job is just 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: to stand around and just always have your eyes out. 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: It's like, that's what I'll do in those sitters, Like, 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: all right, where's the bouncer? All right? Is the bartender 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: looking at him? There's some meat head given Marcus stink? 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: I like, are these talking? This has not been This 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: has not been happening quite a while. I feel like 27 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the one thing I've thought about this podcast of late 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: where Greg especially is a painting me as someone that 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: is out on the town like seven nights a week, 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: which couldn't be farther from I don't think it's a negative. 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: It's not a judge from you. It's a little bit 32 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: You've been a little bit of a judgment from Greg, 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: but not from these guys. I think it makes you 34 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: the most entertaining. Uh. It's also drinker I've ever been around. 35 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: But I don't believe this theory that you have that 36 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. I mean, it hasn't happened as far 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: as I know since I've been diagnosed with cancer, because 38 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: I haven't been out with you in these city suations. 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: But it was definitely happening around this time last year. 40 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: You need someone with you to help set you off 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: and put you into that world and when West got 42 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: taken out of the mix, A big, big player in 43 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: that arena was removed from the equation. Yeah, I feel 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: like on average it's probably one to three, maybe two 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: to four times a year we'll get the wa that 46 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: I think is very fair. Well, we have some we 47 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: have to make up for lost time. Um, but yeah, 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: you have to ever be ever vigilant to make sure 49 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: because you're when you're locked in and doing your round. Mark, Um, 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: you don't know how other people are going to react 51 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: to it, because it is that is fair randomness that 52 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: is unmatched in the bar scene Angels. That's true, but 53 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: I would you know, a lot of drunks get chesty 54 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: and aggressive Marks. Marks is just I'm saying when people 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: get drunk. But Mark's thing is just plain. That was 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: a huge difference that where you phrase that. I will 57 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: think about that for the next months. Thank you. I 58 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: did not mean to phrase it that way, but I 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: was defending you saying you're you're just after silliness in 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: a good time that I would agree with that. I 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: agree with that. Um, all right, good show though, guys, 62 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: you did nice, nice work. I'm happy to be back 63 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: because we've got a lot to talk about today, Uh, 64 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: some news going on a big franchise tag landed, uh 65 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: this week and um, some new GM is in place, 66 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: a new old GM, Greg, And I know you have 67 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: you have takes because on Twitter, the old Greg Rosenthal 68 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: was all fired up as you're enough. I don't need 69 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: him back and not um a double banger alert. Mark 70 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Cecili Greg Rosenthal teamed up for their fun free agency 71 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: fits in the a f C, which Mark wrote, the NFC, 72 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: which Greg wrote, I don't do the NFC. I don't 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: touch that conference when I have the choice, and um, 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the some of that heat early on 75 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: in the show is Greg was implying that Marked took 76 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: all the good players. Let's talk about that. Let's get 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: that out. Yeah. Well Greg had other comments about this 78 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: column a few days ago that might have been a 79 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: little more heat. I don't I don't think. I don't 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: think Mark would totally discri I don't know if it's 81 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: a double banger, maybe it adds up to one banger. 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: Probably it's probably two and a half bangers. So so 83 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: get to NFL dot com. Yeah, rush over there, and 84 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: if you hear from my voice, I missed the show obviously, 85 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: I had family in town, my sister and her husband, 86 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: and they have two children all in the house. So 87 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: there was a seven year old, a five year old, 88 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: a three year old and a one year old. Uh 89 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: them had a cold little seas back and result. Yeah, 90 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: so Greg, if you want to get going on that, 91 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: go fund me. So it sounds like a fun vacation. Yeah, 92 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: it was a staycation. I do think we should literally 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: start a Dan Hansis oriented go fund me for your cold, 94 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: just to see what might come in. Don't do it, 95 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: Nobody do it, Nobody do it. Uh. West is back. 96 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: Went on a nice little trip West. How was your weekend? 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: It was glorious. It was a great three days in Hawaii, 98 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: and and I want to go back. It's a great 99 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: it's a great place to go. A long weekend is 100 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: a great idea, but it's a type of place where 101 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: you I was talking to the paramore about this, give 102 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: me seven ten days and in the Opacific deep my 103 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: energy was gone by monday. But that's a I think 104 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: a cancer specific thing. So once I'm healthy, yeah, give 105 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: me give me seven to ten, give me a lifetime 106 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: in a while. By you know, three hours into the trip, 107 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: I was scheming ways to move there. Um, all right, 108 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: so there you go. That's today's show. Let's before we 109 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: do anything, let's get into the news and um, maybe 110 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: for the last time, our producer and will get to 111 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: that at the end of the show. Maybe Lindsay fault on. Uh, 112 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: let's do this thing. Sweet Norway coming to the line, 113 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: making the play sweet Jesse, Jesse Digg history. They said 114 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: zolac to South Korea. Well, I like it, they said 115 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: to US Olympic history, and I feel I feel unfortunate 116 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: that I'm guessing no one knows what that sport was. 117 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: Even listening in this room, I have no idea. I 118 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: would have guessed potentially hockey, but I thought the hockey, 119 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: don't jes Diggins? What was it? It was women's skiing. 120 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Good for her? And then I thought I was a man. 121 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: Jesse Diggins the first time they won the gold medal 122 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: in the sport excellent. I love I love the enthusiasm though, 123 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: very fire regular Kevin Harland for the Olympics. Yeah, it's 124 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: good to have that heat. All right, let's start with 125 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. They've made a decision. Jarvis Landry, he's 126 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: coming back. Well, he might not come back. But he 127 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: is under the franchise tag the team and now that 128 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: they are putting their tag on the receiver. Rap Sheet 129 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: reported the tag will pay Landry approximately sixteen million and 130 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: is non exclusive, meaning uh, he's able to negotiate with 131 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: other teams, but it would cost an outside suit or 132 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: two first round picks for the right sign of that 133 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: ain't happening. But Greg, your thoughts on this move. I 134 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: I know, I know this podcast group, and nobody seems 135 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: to believe that Jarvis Landry is a superstar. H You're 136 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: surprised that the Dolphins put this slap his tag on him? No, 137 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: because I think allowing quality starters in the prime of 138 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: their career to reach free agency at this point is 139 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: just bad managing of your team. It just shouldn't happen 140 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: at this point. You should be able to manage your 141 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: cap to keep basically every quality player that you want 142 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: to keep. I would assume you'd want to keep a 143 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: player like Jarvis Landry. They might not be able to 144 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: figure out a long term deal with him, and that's 145 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 1: why now we're already starting to hear that he could 146 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: be a potential trade target for other teams. That Ian 147 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: Rappaport on Tuesday. Thursday's Up to the Minute floated some 148 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: of those teams. I believe he put the Panthers were 149 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: one of them. The Bears could be one, Titans the Titans. 150 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: So so we'll see if Jarvis Landry actually ends up there, 151 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: but I think they'd be okay keeping him under the 152 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: one year tag if none of that works. I just 153 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: find it interesting because the sense that I got from 154 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: Miami was that they were pretty hot and cold on 155 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: the Jarvis Landry experience, beyond even just the playing field, 156 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: and they immediately turn around and tag them and it 157 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: does scream trade to me and you, Greg, we were 158 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: about the first day. Is weird if I just think 159 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: it's a little strange, and like we we were talking 160 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: offline about how the or online. I hate that coming 161 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: we were online. We were not offline. We were on 162 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: our chat client but so was online. But we but 163 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: we were saying that the the NFL doesn't really want 164 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: teams to tag and trade. It's not something they look 165 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: favorably upon. In theory. It's what a rule, but it's 166 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: a rule not enforced with no consequence is which seems 167 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: totally inane to me. It must be February or March. 168 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: If the Dolphins are over over extending themselves with no 169 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: direction and no plan. I hate this move, and they 170 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: showed no interest whatsoever in extending him and working at 171 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: a long term deal. So you sent his value at 172 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars. You send him a message that you 173 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: think he's worth top five wide receiver money if you 174 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: have the franchise tag and you're gonna bring him back 175 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: to run your slot receivers centric bubble screen offense. Again, 176 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: that goes nowhere in the NFL. I don't like this move. 177 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: Unless the intention is to trade, you probably aren't bringing 178 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: him back from the sound of it. Remember they're the team. 179 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: They love putting tags on guys that they don't keep. 180 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: Olivia Vernon got a tag, they took it away, Charles 181 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Clay got a transition tag. Both of them were transition 182 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: tags he wound up in Buffalo. So I think they 183 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: look at it as a tool, and if I were them, 184 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: I'd be fine paying him sixteen million dollars. My guests, 185 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: and from reading between the lines, is that his initial 186 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: thought of what he's worth is something that they're just 187 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: not gonna do because it's a three four year commitment 188 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: to make him one of the highest paid receivers in 189 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: the league. But that's a lot different than just paying 190 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: a guy to play well for one year. It's I mean, 191 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: it's it's a little different to find somebody who's willing 192 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: to pay seven million dollars per a tight end in 193 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: sixteen million for a slot receiver. I do wonder the 194 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: Ravens last offseason inquired about trading for him. Yet if 195 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: you look at their cap space right now, and there's 196 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: probably some people they're gonna move, but they've got bottom 197 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: seven cap space at the moment. I think the one 198 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: problem with trading him or trading for him is that 199 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: you you already set his value at sixteen million a year. Tough, 200 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. That's for one year though, that's 201 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: not I don't think he's necessarily gonna make that, or 202 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: would expect to make that on a long I think 203 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: he expects to make that. Moving on, here's somebody that's 204 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna make more than that. Wait, let's hit let's hit 205 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: a little breaking news. I just figure it's Dolphins news, 206 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: so let's break this out. Report is out there not 207 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: a huge surprice from the Miami Herald Julius Thomas and 208 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: Lawrence Timmins will be released by the Miami Doll Ofphins. 209 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: This will open up some cap space in Miami to 210 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: either keep Jarvis Landry or make some other moves. There's 211 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: another part of that report that in Dominican Sue could 212 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: be a post June first release. He is scheduled to 213 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: have the third highest cap hit in the NFL, behind 214 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: Garoppolo and Stafford this year, twenty six point one million. 215 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: That's incredible. Well, that's the thing, all these cap space 216 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: figures where so many teams have a ton of cap space. 217 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: That's even before most teams make all these cuts. So 218 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: in the end of Dolphins, if they wanted to keep 219 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landy for instance, should have plenty. By the way, 220 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: the post Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas come back to us, 221 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: he got Peyton Manning, got a lot of people paid 222 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: Julius Thomas near the top of the list. Was that 223 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: breaking newsworthy? That's the question I think when I think, 224 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: when you're on the Dolphins, can say, is oh one 225 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: other bit of Dolphins news? When you throw out the break, 226 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: you're expecting something big. I think it was appropriate placement, 227 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: whether or not it was breaking They were the types 228 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: of players when they actually signed those contracts that we 229 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: would have you know, had second or third in the 230 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: news like that actually mattered. But now that didn't deserve 231 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: a place in the show. Absolutely did it deserve the drop. 232 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: You don't appreciate Greg's debate incrementally lowering the standard for 233 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: breaking news. Do you want to I don't like the 234 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: phrasing there is a little harsh, but just I wanted 235 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: to kind of put it out there for debate. Okay, 236 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: let the listeners decide. Please, way in tweeter Greg with 237 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: your comments there not the rest of us anyway. Moving 238 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: on Drew Brees. He is scheduled to be a free agent. 239 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, almost everybody expects a 240 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: deal with the Saints. To everybody, even Greg who's saying 241 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: maybe there could be some some issues and some you know, posturing. 242 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: Everyone believes Drew Brees ends up with the Saints and 243 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: continues his career and then likely ends his career there well. 244 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: Breezes representatives are expected to meet with the Saints at 245 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: the scouting combine to quote try to hammer out what 246 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: is potentially a short term deal. Rap sheet reported Wednesday, 247 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: NFL Total access. Rappaport expects the sides to find common 248 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: ground on a deal that will fall between twenty and 249 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: million annually. Chris Westling your thoughts, I think it's it's 250 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: noteworthy not only that rap sheet said so nonchalantly he 251 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: is going to be the Saints quarterback, that he's not 252 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: going to the market, that they will work something out. 253 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: So also noteworthy that Breeze, who has been, you know, 254 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: a vocal representative of the players union, is not trying 255 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: to break the bank, to use rap sheets phrase, or 256 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: he's not expected to break the bank. I know that's surprising. 257 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: I guess I'd believe it when I see it. But 258 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: if he's taken between twenty and twenty five, he's dramatically underpaid, 259 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: because anyone representing a quarterback right now is wants to 260 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: wait to see what Kirk Cousins make. And true to me, 261 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is worth more, at least for one season 262 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: even than Kirk Cousins. But did not look like a 263 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: guy who declined at all despite his age last season 264 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: to me. But he is a guy that cap did 265 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: not have a problem capsizing aspects of their cap for years. Yeah, 266 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: so maybe at this point in his age, What are 267 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: you asking for? You can has have some phony six year, 268 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: five year deal that no one's gonna buy into. I mean, 269 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: he's still gonna get paid almost twice as much as 270 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: Brady even if he gets five million. That's a little 271 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: misleading though, because Brady got so much upfront money. He's 272 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: been getting right around that same money against against tom Right, 273 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: Tommy's been doing fine. I think the whole narrative of 274 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: guys like hurting their cap because they took a huge 275 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: So I don't I think that's what about what about 276 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: four years ago when he did? Though? I don't mean now, 277 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: but that's all the Saints fault because they spent so 278 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: much money on terrible other players. The money that they 279 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: spent on Drew Brees was great money while spent, and 280 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: he would have been worth a lot more if they 281 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: wanted to get how many yachts DNN go get a 282 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring Moving on, Marty Hernie is the Panthers 283 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: General manager officially. The team announced Wednesday that Hernie will 284 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: be their full time guy. He had been been the 285 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: intern GM since Caroline canned Dave Yetelman. Last summer. Hernie 286 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: was the GM and in Carolina from O two to 287 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve, and of course, Hernie was cleared 288 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: by the NFL last week after an investigation found he 289 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: did not violate the league's Personal conduct policy UH in 290 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: regard to a situation harassment accusation made against him by 291 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: his ex wife say you just hand on your water there. 292 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: That was impressive while while talking. Yeah, yeah, well you know, 293 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm ill, I'm under the weather. I'm just 294 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: fighting through this show right now. That was and you 295 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: abirable massive juggling potential warrior is a warrior, a warrior warrior. Anyway, Greg, 296 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: you are a little you weren't expecting more Marty Hernie 297 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: in your life, and yet here he is sand sandwidg 298 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: ing the Dave Gettleman era as it were. I mean, 299 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: this is the guy who gave Jake Delone an extension 300 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: after the worst playoff performance I've ever seen in a 301 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: big spot, and it was clear that his arm was done, 302 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: and then had another couple of years of regrettable of 303 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: some regrettable moves after that. It I it would be 304 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: like Sashi Brown getting hired by the Browns in five years, 305 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: would be like the Browns hiring George WII getting a 306 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: job like I would have never I just would have 307 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: never guessed that he would be a guy that comes back. 308 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: And maybe they're just doing it because they don't really 309 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: have an owner right now and it's kind of just 310 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: a band aid solution. Item is like a super interim GM. Now, 311 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean he's a permanent he's a He's the permanent 312 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: guy they needed a GM. Would it be like getting 313 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: back together with someone that you dated in like two 314 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: thousand three, Yeah, it's like it's like it would be 315 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: that odd and that's strange and that hard to explain 316 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: in a relationship that ended really poorly and she's clearly 317 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: not marriage material. Well, that's how relationships work a lot 318 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: to Like, you go through the relationship and then you 319 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: break up, and then as time passes you a lot 320 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: of times tend to remember the better aspect. You forget 321 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: the harsh chaos that was brought when you forget that 322 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: John Beeson contract, right exactly, You forget the bad stuff. 323 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: You remember the good stuff. And that's where we're at. 324 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: You just don't see it in the NFL, I mean 325 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: at outside of like sort of journeyman players that might 326 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: circle back to the team that drafted them. A second time, 327 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: Like bringing back a general manager the second time is hard. 328 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: It's a hard, weird headspace on a team that is 329 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: in a super awkward spot. I was almost maybe good 330 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: for Ron Rivera. He's the only consistent thing they have 331 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: until maybe a new owner comes in and sweeps everything 332 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: else away for the eighth time. It's good news for 333 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: free agents. And I'm trying to think of guys that 334 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: are anybody who wants to be over because like I 335 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: can see them being very active this year, trying to 336 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: get a winning season. Uh, like maybe a Sammy Watkins 337 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: type if he gets the free agency, you know, he 338 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: I think her Ne will spend some money. Does a 339 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: new owner come in though, and just say bye bye 340 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: her knee? Part two? Not immediately, I wouldn't think, But 341 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: you figure you get kind of exciting if that did happen, 342 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: do you know? By the way, Mark even you like 343 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: you're remember you have the woman that ruined your life 344 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: and you're living in the desert in Arizona, homeless in 345 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: like a van A strong, strong way to put that. 346 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: It was I played a part and she hit pause 347 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: on your life. Basically, yes I played a partner. But yes, um, 348 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: we've had conversations where you look back with some positives 349 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: toward that situation as well. There are a few, not 350 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: an exceedingly long bullet list bullet point list, but yeah, 351 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: some so exactly. Moving on a shan jeff Jeffrey went 352 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: under the knife, alshon Jeffreys season long heroics in Philadelphia 353 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: came with a cost. Little Mark Sessler out lead right there. 354 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: Well you're reading, you're reading some copy from a copy, 355 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: little cessler copy. I'm looking at your head shot. Mark, 356 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: I have been talking with the photo department. Um, I've 357 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: been working on the peloton bike. I've been trying to 358 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: watch what I eat. I'm trying to drop to twenty pounds, 359 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: get my new photo taken to be used on the website. 360 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: That way when the new season comes and all that 361 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: progress is lost, and to go the other way. Well, 362 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: the photo th stays where it is. Um, now that 363 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: I think you need a new photo, Mark, But this 364 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: is a very old photo head shot because I could 365 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: see you're wearing your tan blazer which has been out 366 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: of out of rotation, hasn't been in my possession and 367 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: from like six or seven years ago. But to Mark's credit, 368 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. He might look better now than he 369 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: did in that picture. I don't think you really look 370 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: I think I definitely look better now. Well in that picture, 371 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, doubt how different. But that head shot is 372 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: an odd head shot. Um. I blame myself for looking 373 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: odd in it. Um it's an odd head shot. It 374 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: is not complimentary. But back to the point. Everyone, you know, 375 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: if you want to get updated head shots, if you 376 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: want to do what I'm doing, maybe we could have 377 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: a fun like head shot day here at the office, 378 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: like the idea then, But byyway, al Sean Jeffrey, seasoned 379 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: long rogues in Philadelphia, came with a cost. Mark, Well, 380 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: let's sign you up for an afternoon news shift and 381 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: see how that. How you like that? Go ahead? I 382 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: said you up? It did? I mean he listened, He 383 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: got hurt. He got actually kind of forgot about this 384 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: that he got hurt in last training camp towards his 385 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: rotator cuff, which doesn't sound like a lot of fun. 386 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 1: In August of this season, you're saying, yeah, like this 387 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: in his first training camp with the Eagles, played through 388 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: it to the point where they gave thought enough to 389 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: give him a four year extension. Did an excellent job 390 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: in the play in the playoffs helped to win a 391 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: Super Bowl thirty four yard touchdown in the Super Bowl, 392 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: and I mean, I don't know that's I guess it 393 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: must not have been a super serious version of a 394 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: rotator cup injury. I'm not a doctor, but it's like, 395 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: that's to me seems like something that would be hard 396 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: to play through as a receiver where you're extending your 397 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: arms painful. Good for him, I had like microscopic tears 398 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago in my rotator cuff and 399 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: it couldn't sleep for a while. I don't know how 400 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: he played a full season. One thing I enjoyed with 401 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week I'll remember is alshon Jeffrey's transition into 402 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: this kind of I don't give a you know what attitude, 403 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: and I think his his I heard from I think 404 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: it was from some of his teammates that were saying 405 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: they were like watching some of his interview was on 406 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: the team bus and just like crap cracking up because 407 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: he just it was like as he was just like 408 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't care anymore, I want to say what I want, 409 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: And he was trash talking a lot leading up to 410 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: the game. He was certainly doing it after the game. 411 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: Gained a lot of respect for like throughout the playoffs 412 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: in terms of being a game changing wide receiver. We 413 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: knew that he had done at big seasons before, but 414 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: the guy's a star, and I wonder, you know, the 415 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: Bears now they have a young franchise quarterback. Maybe they 416 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: should have kept aushon around. He guaranteed the Bears a 417 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl victory and they I I blame them for 418 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: letting him get out the door. Yeah, that's true. Moving on, 419 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: the Cults have made an official with Adam van a 420 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: Thieri another sense the lead. I mean, you know what, honestly, 421 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: at this point, we're six seven years at deep ended 422 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: this journey. You've written this story four or five hundred times. 423 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: There's only so many ways to to get into these things. 424 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that if Sierry's return comes as little surprised. 425 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: He told reporters late last season he planned to advance 426 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: to his twenty three NFL campaign. And that's where we are. 427 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: Because the Colts, uh this from rap sheet rap sheet 428 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: busy this week, Uh, they have reached an agreement on 429 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: a one year deal, according to a source informed of 430 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: the deal. The Colts later confirmed the extension and Venetaria 431 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: is in line for a record breaking season. UH He 432 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: is fifty seven points behind Morton Anderson for the all 433 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: time UH points lead in the NFL. I think he's 434 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: a guy of vinitaria has been talked about for you, 435 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: Oh he's a Hall of fame or what he did 436 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,239 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. And but if you get get this 437 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: little record on top of it, not a little one, 438 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: how bad would the how bad would the cults on 439 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: offense need to be for him not to get this? 440 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: If he played sixteen games, it would be another type 441 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: of record and we would be watching the worst NFL 442 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: offense of our lifetime. I think he had over let 443 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: to stay healthy, which all right, but if a problem 444 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: for if he stays healthy, he's going to get this thing. 445 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: I think he had like a hundred and twenties something 446 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: points last year and he needs fifty seven. So barring 447 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: in three or a really bad cults here, you're right, 448 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: mark you, Martin Anderson. You just made the Hall of 449 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: Fame shine off immediately like four fifteen months, acme off 450 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: the old top one on one list before it even starts. 451 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: Where where I had him in like the seven years 452 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: or eighties just because of lack of depth of decent players. 453 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: It's like, at least we've been been terry. Hey, here's 454 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: your kicker. You need a kicker Chargers for instance, Here 455 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: you go something that can help your team. That's fair? 456 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: Should I mention, by the way, I should mention that 457 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: it's that time of year again, the scientists down to 458 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: the lab old hanging out in the kitchen. What can 459 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: come down if he wants? Greg doesn't like it, but 460 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: I can I have access? Um, they're cooking up their 461 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: top one on one list? Do we have Is it 462 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: one oh one this year? Yes? You gotta brand this right, um, 463 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: because it has one o one. But if we stay 464 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: one on one, I think that that could really take 465 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: it to the next level. It's a big highway, you know, 466 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: around here in Los Angeles, big one, one of the biggest. 467 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: That one oh one needs to have some sex appeal, 468 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: though it's been Michael Vick, as we mentioned in the 469 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: last show like four times. Yeah, probably not that well. 470 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to be Jay Cutler peaked behind the curtain 471 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: right around and West. The media was like, I wouldn't 472 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: sign Jake coulor different teams. I wouldn't take Jake Cutler 473 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: if he agreed to pay to play for me, I 474 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: don't want him on culer. If any NFL team wants 475 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: a roster, color is a perfect one on but he 476 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: the exercise he nailed by making it someone you can 477 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: cling onto. What do you got at one oh one? 478 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: Are you not? Frank? And I got? That was generous? 479 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: Oh little shot of Gregg right back Greg? One thing 480 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: about Actually I think I had him in the night. 481 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: If the coach draft sa Kwon Barkley, they will have 482 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: someone on their roster who wasn't born when then Terry 483 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: started his career. That's awesome, it's pretty well. Um yeah, 484 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: So the top one oh one free agence list by 485 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: the Scientists should be going live either end of this 486 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: week or early next week, and we will talk about 487 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: it on Monday's show.

I could type 498 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: that in my sleep at this NFL Network considering report 499 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: in my sleep, or I could be heavily drugged up 500 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: and right and type that out in four seconds. Expected 501 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: to be available through a trade as the Broncos look 502 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: to make big changes in their quarterback room, some smart 503 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: team will pick up Trevor Simeon for peanuts while someone 504 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: else pays Mike Glennon money for a J mccaren. I 505 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: was looking at the outside of the quarterbacks that are 506 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: set to hit free agency, the list of ingrained backups 507 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: right now, and Trevor Simeon, for all the hate on 508 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: him last season, the better aspects of Trevor Simeon. I 509 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: looked at potentially Jacoby Brissette if you really love him, 510 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: or Nick Foles. Is the only two guys that I 511 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: can think of right now as backups that I would 512 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: want over Simeon. It wouldn't shock me at allf Simeon 513 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: went case Keenum on the league one year bill bills. 514 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: People have guests as impossible destination. Did he had some 515 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: crossover with Mike McCoy, So maybe Arizona could make some sense, 516 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: And you're right, I can. I could imagine at this 517 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: point they would just take like a sixth round pick 518 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: for Trevor Simon and yeah, he's gonna need to be 519 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: surrounded with the kind of stuff that Keenum was surrounded with, 520 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: especially a solid offensive line. But I think he can play. 521 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: And it's it's always ego probably tied into keeping Paxton Lynch. 522 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: But are they letting the better quarterback out the door? 523 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: Because everything we've seen from Paxiston Lynch, I understand that 524 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: maybe the potential there. It has been a wild hot 525 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: mess on the field. If you're gonna draft a quarterback 526 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: in the first round, but you already say, so, what 527 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: do you think I think they're assuming Paxton that they 528 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 1: may be in a future world. Let's see if Paxson 529 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: Lynch ever develops. He doesn't have much value at this 530 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: point anyways, and that he's going to be the backup 531 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: to whoever. They hopefully in their minds sign in free agency. 532 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. As you heard earlier 533 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: in the show, Mark and Greg combined to write half 534 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: a banger, two posts that equaled half a banger. That 535 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: would be a banger each half a banger each. We 536 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: each from half a banger. I mean, that's that's a 537 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: slight to say that we wrote a quarter of a bank. 538 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: I misunderstood. So you each wrote a half banger, it 539 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: equaled a full banger in theory the reader will decide 540 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: that where being maybe even being generous. But that's how 541 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: we're touting it. The headline writers not their best day, 542 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: Free Agency fund Comma a f C colon, and then 543 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: write your piece free Agency fund Comma NFC Holing take 544 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: we take it up with some people down involved with 545 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: the headline. You just send the crack some skulls downstairs 546 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: about the copy. You gotta sell it, baby, to make 547 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,239 Speaker 1: it sizzle. All right, Mark will start, We'll start with 548 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: you in the A f C. We could jump around 549 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: right whatever, because all of them, I don't think we 550 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: need you know every single one. Yeah, So I'll start 551 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: on the phone. Let's go through all thirty two, please 552 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: do not. I'll start Andrew Nora, Well, now i'll start 553 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: with you, Mark anywhere you want to go? Which one 554 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: to you? As you were writing it, you, you know, 555 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: got a little hot in the pants. You said, oh, 556 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: this is a good one. I don't know if any 557 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: of them gave me that sensation um at the time, 558 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: but I will say that I thought of you when 559 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: I think people would have said, oh, of course he's 560 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: going to give Kirk Cousins to the Browns and write 561 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: some flowery paragraph how they haven't had a quarterback since 562 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: Bernie cos are f that I gave him to the Jets. Baby? Yeah. 563 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: When Dan asked if any of them made you feel 564 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: hot in the pants, you immediately said, well, what have 565 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: them made me think of you? Dad? That was sentenced later. 566 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: That was a sentence to two after that. I I 567 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: think the Jets make a lot of sense. They really seem. 568 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: Unless all of this is just for some reason, you're 569 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: putting up a smoke screen for no reason. They've got 570 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: the money, they've got the need. Mike mccagnet, I think 571 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: if he doesn't make a big splash in the quarterback scenario, 572 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: this year is gone. The guy is gone. You've already 573 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: drafted two quarterbacks, and if you draft a third and 574 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: he flames out, you're in deep trouble. So you go 575 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: after Kirk Cousins. I think it's a fit, barring the 576 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: fact that Kirk Cousins, as some people in this room believe, 577 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: would never want to go there, speaking of Mark Copy, 578 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: this move has to happen because this fan base deserves 579 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: a dose of human joy before mysterious interstellar object two 580 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: thousand seventeen VR twelve takes out Earth. And there is 581 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: a massive object. I've been been doing some research another one. 582 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: It seems like every two weeks there's some objects heading 583 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: towards Earth. This is the latest object that could wipe 584 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: out humanity. So you didn't You didn't give the quarterback 585 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: to the Browns like everyone expected, but you did end 586 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: the planet. Well I know, no, no, I what my 587 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: point was. I think it will pass by, is everybody. 588 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: I think most of these are probably fake. It's just like, quick, 589 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: get your priorities in order. A big rock is maybe 590 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: coming by, but it's like never hits, never happens. We 591 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: keep going on doing the same priority That's the last 592 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. The Jets they deserve. If you say 593 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: this about the Browns, it's still to the Jets. I 594 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,239 Speaker 1: mean you got to go back to early childhood when 595 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: the Jets actually had a quarterback of note, um you, 596 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 1: and it would be very Jets. If they won this 597 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: like big time quarterback sweepsteaks and then the world ended, 598 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: it would be very Jets. But like I think it 599 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Was just like sevent best 600 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: quarterback that maybe take it. I'll take it, I will 601 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: take it. Um No. But I think this is why 602 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: it makes it. Verse of all, they're definitely gonna go 603 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: after him hard. I think if your management, which I 604 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: guess is Christopher Johnson a very good ownership set up 605 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: for the Jets, not Woody right now, who's in England 606 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: or France or something. Um, definitely you believe, even Mike mccagnan, 607 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: But maybe you don't believe. Maybe the Christian Hackenburg thing 608 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: spooked you in terms of quarterback acquisition at this point, 609 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: so you don't trust your GM a little bit to 610 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: nail the quarterback pick, but hand out a ton of 611 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: money and then let Big Mac do better work with 612 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: non quarterback positions in the draft, which he has had 613 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: some success in the draft in his and to his credit, 614 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: he took a ton of abuse last offseason by releasing 615 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: guys like Darrell Reeves and a bunch of other people 616 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: that went on to do very little around the league 617 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: to create this cap space. Yeah, if you're if you're 618 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Though Jeremy Bates have some history, I guess 619 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: that it could make some sense. Not much of an 620 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: offensive line, certainly, not a history of success or great ownership. 621 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: I just feel like he's gonna be able to get paid. 622 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: If you're him, Why would you make that choice unless 623 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: it's unless it's just so much more money than the 624 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: other teams, And right, maybe that's why you make that choice. Alright, 625 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: throw out another one, Greg. Let's start with a guy 626 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: that was in the news again from rap Sheet Today, 627 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson, who he believes will not get tagged by 628 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I threw him over to Atlanta running a 629 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: similar style defense to the Seahawks, and UH team that's 630 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: gonna want to replace Don Terry po and loves to 631 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: make big splash, make bold moves in free agency. And 632 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 1: to me, put Sheldon Richardson next to Grady Jarrett and 633 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: that's uh, that's a defensive tackle duo that you're cooking 634 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: with gas Thomas Dimitroff. Their GM has a very rigorous 635 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: policy on character. You know that's a fair point. I'm 636 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: not sure. Yeah, I'm sure you might not look at 637 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: it as a fun free agency fit, but you do, 638 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: so he would be cool with, like, although he did 639 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: keep bringing back, you know, guys who keep failing drug 640 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: suspensions and stuff. Yeah, I was gonna say there was 641 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: that one time Sheldon Richardson drove like a hundred thirty 642 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: with a kid in the backseat, But like, maybe he'd 643 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: overlook that. I don't know. In this case, if Richardson 644 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: does get it's funny how hard it is to really 645 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: ruin your free agency value. And who knows, maybe we'll 646 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: be wrong, but despite everything over the last few years 647 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: with him off the field and even on the field 648 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: where he's been vaguely disappointing, I would expect him to 649 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: make a ridiculous amount of money if he makes it 650 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: to free The only thing, though, is with not many 651 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: good players do with the rap sheet report. I mean, 652 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: if you're not going to tag him, and they that 653 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Seahawks team hasn't taged someone since two thousand and it 654 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: was a kicker. So maybe that's not how they like 655 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: to do business. But you must feel pretty confident with 656 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: both sides saying they want to make it happen, that 657 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: our negotiations already happening. A deal could be coming soon. 658 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: Like you're gonna lose Shellon, Richardson, you might lose Clive, 659 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: you might lose Uh, you might lose cam Chancellor. Michael 660 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: Bennett could be gone potentially, Like what what is the 661 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: state of this defense if you let keep letting these 662 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: guys go. Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman are two guys 663 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: who people think could be available in the potential trade. 664 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean you would Richardson would be a guy in 665 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: theory because he's younger that that you would build around. Yeah, 666 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: I think the deterioration of well, the exodus of star 667 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: players in Seattle's defense is one of the stories in 668 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: the off season. Right. See, if it's and we don't 669 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: really know how many people it's gonna be April we 670 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: expect to get cut. Hasn't happened, you know, none of 671 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: these moves have actually happened yet. The Earl Thomas thing 672 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: has been very quiet, but I think there's a and 673 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned it a little on the last one I 674 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: wrote about. I think there's an expectation from a lot 675 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: of people in the NFL and insiders like e and 676 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a ton of trades and the 677 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: Seahawks would be a team you would look to as 678 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: has been one of the teams that would be doing that. 679 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: Here's an interesting one, uh Mark's list, Um Malcolm Butler, 680 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: you know he's leaving UH New England, and they're gonna 681 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: have avoid there. And they just got embarrassed in the 682 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl their defense, so I would not be spreads 683 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: at off. They try to make a big splash and 684 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: add more heat to their secondary. Have Kyle Fuller, who 685 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: finished his season very well with the Bears, getting a 686 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: deal uh with the Patriots to help shore up their 687 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: defensive backfield like like that. You'd see it at a 688 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: pricey secondary there. Yeah, not that. How much money should 689 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: any of them be getting after the Super Bowl we 690 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: witnessed is going to get paid? Yeah, if he doesn't 691 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: get the franchise tag. And I think I think there's 692 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: a decent chance just because they have so much cap 693 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: room and if they truly want to keep him around. 694 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: It's got to be an option. At least. I think 695 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid because there's only so many above 696 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: average starting cornerbacks available. Malcolm Butler certainly would be one. 697 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: I used him, I used, I reused Malcolm Butler, though, 698 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: where did you put him? I gave him to Detroit Game, 699 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: the old Matt Patricia, Bob Quinn, they know him, they've 700 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: seen him, they've seen him be a top ten type 701 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: of quarterback in two thousand fifteen, two thousand and sixteen. 702 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: That he might be a by low candidate. We'll see 703 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: because of everything that's happened. He had kind of a 704 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: down year in the way that it ended. Maybe he's 705 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 1: not gonna get paid. Alcolm Butler and that Patricia cool Well, 706 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: that was the question. We we had a network hit 707 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: that got deep six due to other programming, but that 708 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: was my my question at that was, like Tricia, who 709 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: just had Malcolm Butler, had to deal with Malcolm Butler 710 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: bean bench during the Super Bowl, So that was was 711 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: that a Belichick decision and Patricia had to just sit 712 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,280 Speaker 1: there and have egg on this. I mean, even everyone's 713 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: assuming that the Patriots. I think the way the Patriots 714 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: run they'd probably take Malcolm Butler back at the right price. 715 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: There there, you know. And I don't know if they 716 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: believe that whatever he did, it was a decision that 717 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: they made and they clearly didn't appreciate what was going on. 718 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: But they're kind of a bottom line value type of team, 719 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: and I believe if if the price was right, I 720 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: would hope that they would still want Butler. I desperately 721 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: want the Lines to become an interesting team. Yes, step one, 722 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: bring Malcolm Butler. In step two, when the Dolphins cut 723 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: and Dominican sue, bring him back. We're cooking a lot 724 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: of cooking with gas talk, a lot of that hot 725 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: new phrase. I like you to cook it with a 726 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: green egg, Oh with a green egg, smoking, smoking with 727 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: the green egg. We're cooking with charcoal. You know what 728 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: I miss? I love the charcoal I miss. And Dominican 729 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: zoo like committed misdemeanors on Thanksgiving. Bring it back, you 730 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: get him back in Detroit. Let's have some fun again. 731 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: Let's get filthy. Nat Shaw may not agree with you, 732 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: but I've got a fit that I like here on 733 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: Mark's list. It's not gonna be up in neon lights 734 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: like headlining the article, But Nate Solder following that New 735 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: England to Houston pipeline after the Texans traded Dwayne Brown, 736 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: they have a massive whole left tackle and if they 737 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: want to pave the way for a Deshaun Watson bounce 738 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: back season after the a c L surgery, you're gonna 739 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: need better pass protection. Nate Solder makes sense for them. 740 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: He already played under Bill O'Brien. As Mark pointed out 741 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: the article, it's a fit that makes sense. They also 742 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: potentially need a guard, another guard, and another table, so 743 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: you gotta start somewhere. Soldier could make an insane amount 744 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: of money because there are literally no other starting tackles 745 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: available starting Matt Khalil can get a liven there's not 746 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: another one, and here's a guy with a great pedigree. 747 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: He's gonna hate retiring for it that way, how the cap, 748 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: but he might have to make a decision. He took 749 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: a below market deal to stay in New England last 750 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: time around. It was believed that was partly due, unfortunately 751 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: to his um child, who has I believe a rare 752 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: form of cancer. He's still battling with it. You know, 753 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: he's in the Boston area. It's not something you almost 754 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: want to speculate about, but you know you have to. 755 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: It's a big decision to up and leave, bring your 756 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: family to a whole new place again. I think there's 757 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: some thought that that might be an influence on him 758 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: just staying in New England. Well, that's a different situation entirely. 759 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 1: I I think they make a lot of sense, even 760 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: though he is turning thirty and you know, offensive lineman, 761 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: big dudes like that may not age well. Although Andrew 762 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: Witworth is in an exception right there. Who knows, maybe 763 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: Soldier plays well in his thirties. Um, the Texans could 764 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: be I feel like that this has come up a 765 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: couple of times the last few years. I feel like 766 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: they're an a f C sleeper team next year if 767 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,720 Speaker 1: they have a nice free agency, have a nice draft class, 768 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: and things fall the right way. So go get a 769 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: left tackle Thomas And remember how they just in our 770 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: lobby were playing that Patriots Texans game where Houston nearly 771 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: nipped New England and took that thing, And they were 772 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: one of the one of the few AFC teams that 773 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 1: I thought, despite their record at the time, that they 774 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: could overtake New England if they met him in the playoffs. 775 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: They were that exciting with the Shawn Watson and so 776 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: forgettable because of the disaster that occurred after. Yeah, they 777 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: need they have a lot of work to do on 778 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, really, but with Watson, you 779 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: feel like anything's possible all throughout a quarterback. Uh yeah, 780 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: not quite like Deshaun Watson, but I think could get 781 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: the home crowd excited potentially in Arizona. That's where I 782 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 1: put Teddy Bridgewater. It's a total risk. No one knows 783 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: if what he's gonna be like, and only the Vikings 784 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: really know how he looked in practice last year, but 785 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: that felt like maybe it would be a good fit 786 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: for him and for them just as a one year tryout. 787 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: Let's let's see what this guy looks like. They're kind 788 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: of starting from scratch at quarterback, and it seems like 789 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: maybe maybe get a guy like Bridgewater. You draft someone 790 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: and you see what happened. What about because they talked 791 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: to that they have no quarterback stalls, so you get 792 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: him and maybe you make a move for someone like 793 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: a Josh Allen where like you can. Josh Allen is 794 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: probably not a week one starter. Although I feel like 795 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: with every one of these guys are starting by week five, 796 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: and I'm done with that narrative. But like you could, 797 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: you could, you may have Teddy for even as a 798 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: season or more and start him, and then you bring 799 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and down the road. Going back to the 800 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald thing, I really think they're gonna want to 801 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: have a guy they could plug in as a veteran 802 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: that could make some noise. Potentially, Bridgewater makes sense as 803 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: like a boom or bus feels strong because they're not 804 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: gonna give him a ton of money. But uh, Greg, 805 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: you even wrote in the piece that you think he 806 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 1: has the highest ceiling of any free agent quarterback available, 807 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: which led to some scientists heat downstairs. I disagree, But 808 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: why did why do you? As as did the editor, 809 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: as did west Um. I I think Teddy Bridgewater showed 810 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: in his first two seasons a trajectory of a really 811 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: strong starting quarterback, not unlike the trajectory that we've seen 812 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: from a lot of talented young quarterbacks to the last 813 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: couple of years and their first two seasons. Mariota Winston. Similarly, 814 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: I think he's underrated in terms of his deep ball, 815 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: certainly underrated in terms of what he added with his athleticism. 816 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: Now is that guy coming back? I don't know, but 817 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: no one knows. I'm not saying it's going to happen. 818 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: I think it's in the realm of visability that he 819 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: gets a long term deal at some point in his career. 820 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: That's great, and that he does re establish himself as 821 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I'm not going to put a limit on 822 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: him that that's not possible. And I think he's shown 823 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: enough tape and intelligence and everything you know about him 824 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: that he does have a chance to be a top 825 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: ten What what about the idea, how do we know 826 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't have aage? How about the idea that the 827 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: Vikings I guess we don't know for sure, but seemed 828 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: to be okay with him leaving the building. Who got 829 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: him in the past year. That will be telling. We'll see, 830 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: We'll see we lost Greg. Greg. Greg's coming was he 831 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: wanted to see what will happen, So we'll see what 832 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: they think. By the way, how about how about Dolphins 833 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: fans remember, you know, them deciding not to chase after 834 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: Drew Brees because of his injury two and forty years ago. 835 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: How did that turn out? Just alright about that. By 836 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 1: the way, Well, now I'm wearing a good to your headset. Now. See, 837 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: I thought I don't like what Greg saying. Just hit him. 838 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: I thought we were going to just cut that part 839 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: of the show out, but now it's just in. Now 840 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: take take the inverse of everything Greg said about Teddy Bridgewater, 841 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: and that's what I believe. You're an act opposite. You're 842 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: not buying Bridgewaters arc. Well, Greg's in denial about Teddy 843 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,479 Speaker 1: Bridgewater's arm strength, first of all. And I think he's 844 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 1: probably the biggest injury risk I've seen at quarterback in 845 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: the past. I don't know, ten years, fifteen years, but 846 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna be baked into his contract. I'm not saying 847 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: that you have to pay him twenty million dollars a 848 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: year by injury risk. I mean that really limits his ceiling. 849 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any chance he's coming back anywhere 850 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: close to what he was before that. And how how 851 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: do we know? This is something that there's no certainty 852 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 1: to me at all about. I mean, there's no certainty 853 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: in any predictions like this, but this one is specially 854 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 1: one is one thing we know is that injuries of 855 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: that caliber lead to more leg injuries because of overcompensation. 856 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: Who would you pour money into him? Teddy Bridgewater a 857 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: case Keenum Sam Bradford? Wow? So what speak on that? 858 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: Because I feel like, uh, no one's talked about Bradford 859 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: this offseason at all as an interesting pickup and he 860 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: might be a guy that ends up in Arizona. I 861 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: think Arizona is a place where I could see a 862 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: former Vikings quarterback. I don't know which one it's gonna be, 863 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 1: but it feels like one of them could be there 864 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: another major knee issue. So what why? Why would you 865 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: spend on Bradford after a season where his knees were 866 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: so mysterious that he like could move around, but they 867 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: just refused to play him. Well, First of all, he 868 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,919 Speaker 1: came back and was immediately inserted above Bridgewater, which tells 869 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: me that his knee is fine right now or or 870 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: good enough to play. Second of all, as well as 871 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: Keenum played last year, the best game played by a 872 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback was Sam Bradford in Week one against the Saints. 873 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: And that's on top of a two thousand sixteen season 874 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: in which he led the NFL and completion rate and 875 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: was statistically the best downfield passer in the league or 876 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: the most efficient downfield passer in the league. I think 877 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: he showed true advancement as a player in those two 878 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: years in Minnesota, and it might be a small sample size, 879 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: but it showed me enough that I'd rather take a 880 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: chance on him much rather take a chance on him 881 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: than Bridgewall. It's tough because his last time you saw 882 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: him on the field was so depressing and horrible, and 883 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: they thought he was ready to be He thought he 884 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: was ready to play again then I think that was 885 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 1: Week five or six when they finally shut him down 886 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: after that, But you're right, maybe he comes and has 887 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: another healthy year and that'd be worth a lot. I mean, 888 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: John d Filippo, their new OC, worked with Bradford before 889 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 1: he was traded away from Philadelphia to Minnesota. That's either 890 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: gonna be good for him or not good. I think 891 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: would be good. Um. One other move I wanted to 892 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: throw out there is Sebastian Janikowski was a free agencys 893 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 1: on to tap. I love that. I love kicker talk, 894 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,720 Speaker 1: you know. I love the Bucks hard knock season. It's 895 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: that team is being blown up by the way that 896 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: so many people, myself included really came to adore a 897 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: lot of guys on the team. Chris Baker out of 898 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: there as we know, Doug Martin Gun you have the 899 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: disaster at Kicker with Robbie Iguyo and then Nick Folk. Uh, 900 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 1: you get Seabas in there, some stability, and you get 901 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,280 Speaker 1: a name brand a Kicker, which doesn't happen too often. Darren, 902 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: that franchise is in a weird spot right now because 903 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: they're interesting for what they're kind of in a transition phase. 904 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: But they were so hard to watch last year. They 905 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: were one of the most difficult teams to watch. But 906 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: I kind of want to see what they do to 907 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: turn that team around. Check out both pieces. Two half 908 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: bangers that equal to banger, which if for no other reason, 909 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 1: if you're just yes, that's the half bangers. Oh those 910 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 1: are the bangers. Hell yeah, uh, if for no other reason, 911 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: if you've ever wondered what a half banger reads like, 912 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: well read either of those bangers. There you go. What 913 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: if they both wrote bangers and it makes it a 914 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: double banger. That's well scouting telling say someone wrote three 915 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: quarters of a banger, one wrote a quarter. Maybe I 916 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: wrote the quarter. I'm just saying how do we know 917 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: it splits down the middle. That's that's assuming things. I 918 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: think we I think we maximized what we could do 919 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: with this piece. You know, it's ultimately just kind of 920 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: throwing some darts against the board. It was kind of 921 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: like um, you know, and you know in figure skating 922 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: and got to bring it back to the Olympics. It's 923 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: like some of them, they only have a total potential 924 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: score that can get them into sixth, you know what 925 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Like even if they're perfect, they don't. This 926 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: is like that article. The total potential score can only 927 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: get you, you know, just off the metal stand. There 928 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,919 Speaker 1: you go, clicks disappearing by the minute. Uh So we'll 929 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: be back tomorrow Friday. So short turnaround for our next show. 930 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: We are taking questions for the mail bag, So hit 931 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,399 Speaker 1: us up the around the NFL our handles you can 932 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: ken as well, but also the around the NFL Twitter handle. 933 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 1: Just use the hashtag a t N mail bag and 934 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: we will hopefully get to your question. If it's worth 935 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: a damn. You could be asking a terrible question, that's 936 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,280 Speaker 1: up to you. Here's an example of a terrible question. 937 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: If the four heroes were stuck on an island, who 938 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 1: would like be killed first? We don't want that would 939 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: be the lone survivor who keeps asking these questions. It's 940 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: just strange that the human mind is wired in such 941 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: a way that that question has occurred to four hundred 942 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: and fifty different TWI why why is that the one 943 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: question every They always want to pit us against each other, 944 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: that's what it's about. But it's always the island, it's 945 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: always who would survive. It's just it's always some type 946 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 1: of dystopian healthscape where we have to murder each other. Well, 947 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: we're not going to answer that question ever, so just 948 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: stop asking it. But anything else is fair game. You 949 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: have to decide who would taste the best, and that's 950 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,399 Speaker 1: a disgusting proposition. Yeah, you would have to go back 951 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: to meet that's disgusting. I imagine no matter who the 952 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,280 Speaker 1: body is. Well, Mark has tattooed, so he would taste 953 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: inkytos to have, like, what are you talking about? Like 954 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: one miniature, tiny tattoo on my shoulder. If I were 955 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: one thing from today's shows that Mark would taste inky, 956 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I would I like that. I like 957 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: that because then I would not be on the radar 958 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: to be killed by you on set Island. Well, now 959 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: we've answered. I'm borderline gaunt, so I don't think anybody 960 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: wants to be eating me. It is for Dan and Greg. Yeah, 961 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: and no one's gonna eat Greg, so nobody's just gonna 962 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: be feasting on my body. We'll layoff. I'm on the 963 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: peloton eating the fat guy. That's what that's happens. Are 964 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: you happy, listeners?
