And that's 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: the game plan. Today. We will talk about some thoughts 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz that viral picture of him practicing looking 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: for a job, a take that I might have to 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: roll back already, and we haven't even got to week one, 27 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: and just some other stuff. The Hall of Fame game 28 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: rated pretty well. The Packers refused to stream Jordan Love's 29 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: first live practice in front of all the fans at Lambeau, 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: And we'll do a little mailbag at John Middlecoff. I'll 31 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: probably do a big mail bag on Wednesday for Thursday, 32 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: cause I'm going to Tahoe this weekend. It's it's just 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: you need to get out of the heat for a minute, 34 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: and so we're flying back see my mom on Wednesday 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and then fire up the Tahoe.

I wanted to start 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz and there was a viral video. Actually 68 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: wasn't a video. I just saw the picture with him. 69 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: He's currently a free agent, he does not have a job, 70 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: and all you got to do is pull up some 71 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: depth charts in the National Football League and realize they're 72 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: not sixty four quarterbacks better than Carson Wentz. But this 73 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: picture of the went viral for a guy that's currently unemployed. 74 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: He had Colt shorts on, he had a commander's practice 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: jersey on, and he had an eagle's helmet on, and 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: it really, honestly was kind of sad. It was like 77 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy whose career I don't want 78 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: to say officially over because injuries can happen, but it's 79 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: definitely not trending in the right direction. It's much closer 80 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: to being over than him resurrecting it and playing five 81 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: more years in the league. And I think he represents 82 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: something you know in most positions. It doesn't necessarily matter 83 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: if you're good enough, how great of a teammate you are, 84 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: how much coach is always like you. Obviously that impacts you, 85 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: and people want to work with or coach people or 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: play with people that you're just gonna like. But when 87 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: you have the amount of people that play football, that's impossible. 88 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: And when you get the highest level, when you're so elite, 89 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's why we've seen in the history 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: of the league guy get in trouble with the law. 91 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: Guys obviously have a lot of issues internally and get 92 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: chance after chance after chance. Antonio Brown is a great example. 93 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: If Antonio Brown, for six seven years with the Steelers 94 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: had average forty catches and not ninety or one hundred 95 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: and fourteen touchdowns a year, he would not have got 96 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: the rope in which he got once he turned crazy. 97 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: He got that rope because of a great the great 98 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: resume that he put together. And Carson Wentz is a 99 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: good example of there's nothing you could really put your 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: finger on tangibly, like does it get arrested right, never 101 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: had an issue where he blew up on a teammate 102 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: that was public, right, where there was a camera on, 103 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: But there's just a lot of smoke about him, you know. 104 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't quite resonate with the guys. Can be hard 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: to coach because you look two years ago. He was 106 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns and seven interceptions for the Colts on 107 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: the year that where it unraveled at the end of 108 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: the season and Earth lost his shit and said you 109 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: got to trade him. They ended up moving him to Commanders, 110 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: which was kind of crazy for multiple third rounders, and 111 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: they transitioned to Matt Ryan and it was a debacle 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: for everyone involved. By the end of the season, Matt 113 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: Ryan was benched and Heineke was playing over Carson Wentz. 114 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: But I think Carson represents something that at the quarterback position, 115 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: our standards are really really high, and when you're starting quarterback, 116 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: the first and foremost the number one thing you have 117 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: to do is play well. Right. I saw a video 118 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: I was watching an NFL network, I think the first 119 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: weekend when Pads came on and they were at Latrobe 120 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: but interviewing Mike Tomlin, and I forget the exact reporter, 121 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: and they asked Mike Tomlin, what's the most important thing 122 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: for Kenny Pickett to do this upcoming season, and I 123 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: mean kind of tongue in cheek, kind of kidding, but 124 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: also kind of serious. Be good, play well, And he 125 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: just kind of stared at her, and then he went on, 126 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, being a good teammate, understanding the offense, adapting 127 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: week to week a as people adjust to him. Obviously 128 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: there are nuances to the position, but the most basic 129 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: part of playing any position in the league, definitely quarterback, 130 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: is just playing well. And that is stuff like reading defenses, 131 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: understanding what to do in your own offense, Knowing what 132 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: your player strengths and weaknesses are, how to get them 133 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: the ball, calls to the line of scrimmage, dealing with 134 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: your offensive lineman. That all the stuff that makes that 135 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: position arguably the hardest thing to do in all of sports. 136 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: And then there's all the intangible stuff, right, how hard 137 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: can you get coached? That was like, really what set 138 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: Brady apart? Right, All the stories about Tom Brady always, 139 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: whether it was Matt Castle or Julian Edelmann or who 140 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: any player saying it. The first day they ever got 141 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: to New England, they'd look and in the first practice 142 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: or the first training camp, they'd go God. By the 143 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: second practice, Belichick is just undressing Brady, and he could 144 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: take it well. If you could scream at Brady and 145 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: coach Brady's ass up. Everyone in the room was on 146 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: pins and needles, right. We were all walking on a 147 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: big shells because we all knew we could take it well. 148 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: One of the biggest knocks on Carson Wentz is he's 149 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: not that coachable, which is not idea when you're talking 150 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: about a quarterback. And another big knock on him is 151 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: and this happened when Jalen the moment he got benched 152 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts, his career just completely unraveled and it 153 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: has never been the same. And honestly, a lot of 154 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: people in the league don't take him that seriously anymore 155 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: because and I heard Jason Kelsey say this on his podcast, 156 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: or maybe he said this on another podcast, but I've 157 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: listened to a million podcasts with Jason Kelcey somehow is 158 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: that if he could have a duo over with Carson Wentz, 159 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 1: he would have worked harder to get him to resonate 160 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: more and just work harder to have better relationships with 161 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: guys on the team. And my pushback, if Jason Kelsey 162 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: was sitting in here right now, is I don't think 163 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: he can fake that. I think he kind of had 164 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: that or you don't. And obviously Jalen has that in space. 165 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: It's why he's having a lot of success in Philadelphia. 166 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: Is the guys on the team swear by it. Same 167 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: thing with Burrow, same thing with Mahomes, same thing with Herbert, 168 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: same thing forever in Baltimore with Lamar. The players have 169 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: to really respect you, and obviously the coaches do. But 170 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: if the players really do, the coaches will figure it out. 171 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: But when the coaches kind of turn on you and 172 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: the players turn on you, you see a guy who 173 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: is clearly better than the majority of backup quarterbacks in 174 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: the NFL right now. But who wants to deal with that? 175 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Because most backup quarterbacks, you know what they have going 176 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: for them, the coach likes them, and they get along 177 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: very well with their teammates. It's not because, well, we 178 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: might really have something in this thirty two year old 179 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: guy that's thrown one regular season snap in the last decade. 180 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: No one thinks that. Most people think if the starting 181 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: quarterback goes down, especially on good teams, you're screwed, because 182 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: you typically are. But a guy like Carson Wentz, who 183 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: has played and it has a ton of reps starting 184 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: games in the league, should be a valued guy. But 185 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: he's kind of toxic right now. The entire league is 186 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: telling you what they think of them. They don't want them. Clearly, 187 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be very expensive. So when I saw that 188 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: picture go viral, it just kind of symbolized how important 189 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: it is at that position to get along with guys, 190 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: to let people coach you up. Hell, I try to 191 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: think about it. Am I courteous enough with the guys 192 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: I work with. Am I doing a good enough job 193 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: of communicating? We all, as we age, think about these things. 194 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: The problem is in pro sports is, let's just in theory. 195 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: Say Carson has matured a lot, it might be too late. 196 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Most of us, like can figure that out through our thirties, 197 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: and then by the time we get to our forties, 198 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: we're like, God, if I was in a position of 199 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: management or I know how to communicate better. It's something 200 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: we can always kind of grow on. It's something that 201 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: we can always learn from our previous actions and get 202 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: better at as we age. It's something just a natural 203 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: maturity to us as life goes. The problem is in 204 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: pro sports, you have a finite period of time, and 205 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz his time. It wouldn't shock me if he 206 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: plays this year, But it also wouldn't shock me at 207 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: all if he does not get an opportunity, if no 208 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: one wants to deal with them, and it all gets 209 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: back to for a while, it was just perception perception. 210 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: I had heard stories like I don't know if this 211 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: was when Foles there, or maybe it was when I 212 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: think it was when Nick Foles was there, that he 213 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: walked off the field and like walked right by Jeffrey 214 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Luriy as he stuck out his hand to shake Carson 215 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: Wentz's hand. I think it was after a victory and 216 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: Carson was I'm pretty sure it was injured, or maybe 217 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: it was backing up at the time. I forget. It's 218 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: kind of muddied, and those stories just kind of grow 219 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: on each other. And clearly the Eagles couldn't have got 220 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: rid of him fast enough. The Colts ersay had enough 221 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: of them, and Washington benched him by the middle of 222 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: the season. So you're looking at a guy who was 223 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: once a really high pick and early on in his 224 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: career looked like he was a rocket ship, and ultimately 225 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: is undoing. He's not the most accurate player, he's no 226 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: longer as athletic as he won was, but he's still 227 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: a capable NFL quarterback. But no one wants to touch him, 228 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: no one wants any part of them. And I think 229 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: it all gets back to intangible stuff. Coaches don't like him. 230 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: You know who I talk about like rumors, you know, 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: like high school or any sort of industry where people talk. 232 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: No one talks more in coaches. I mean, just google 233 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: some of these guys' resumes. There's like two degrees of 234 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: separation of literally every coach in the NFL and college. 235 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: They all know each other, and if they don't know 236 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: each other, they know someone who knows that guy. So 237 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: the word on this guy isn't just out. It's not good. 238 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: And it's honestly kind of sad when you see that picture, 239 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: as like this dude's career feels over. Speaking of his 240 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: former team, the Commanders, I made a prediction a while 241 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: back that I thought they had a chance to be 242 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: one of the surprise teams of definitely the NFL, but 243 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: of the NFC. You know, the NFC is wide open. 244 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: I hope the Giants could kind of take a step back. 245 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: They were a team that definitely overachieved last year, benefited 246 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: a lot from a really good coach, won a lot 247 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: of low scoring tight ball games, and sometimes that can 248 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: flip year to years. Why a lot of people are 249 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: off the Minnesota Viking scent is because they won all 250 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: the one score games. And if that just flips a 251 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: little bit, that thirteen wins can go to eight or 252 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: nine really quick, and then you know, I've been following 253 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: a lot of these training camps very closely. It's what 254 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: I do for a living. Clearly, if Darren Waller is healthy, 255 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: he is a big time player. I mean, at one 256 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: point in time he was considered like Kelsey, Kittle and Waller, 257 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: and then he got banged up and he just kind 258 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: of out of sight, out of mind. The Raiders paid him, 259 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and then he got injured again and they traded him 260 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: to the Giants, and Wink Martindale's just seeing his praises 261 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: in practice because they can't cover the guy. And if 262 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: he is healthy, that is a major major addition to 263 00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: the operation. And then this rookie wide receiver Hyatt from Tennessee. Now, 264 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to overreact to young players until they 265 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: prove themselves, you know, in pro games, right And I'm 266 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: not talking the preseason. I'm talking regular season games, week 267 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: in week out, handling game plans, handling adjustments, handling the 268 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: length of the season. But this dude's breaking speed records 269 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: right now. He runs like twenty five miles an hour. 270 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: So one issue I had with their squad is, you know, 271 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: with Sa Kwon Daniel Jones, what else are they working with? Well, 272 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: if you had Waller and just a speed element, that 273 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: they should, assuming these guys can stay healthy, should be 274 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: much more explosive. And I know the grittiness and the 275 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: toughness of their operation. They got a really good day 276 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: ball in Wink Martindale. Maybe I'm kind of back on 277 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: the giant set. And I've seen Ron Rivera now say 278 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: this multiple times. I've seen Jacoby Brissette play. I've seen 279 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: it for years. He's just not very good. He's not 280 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: very good, And unlike Carson Wentz, he's a guy everyone loves, 281 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: people want him in the building. He's an awesome backup quarterback, 282 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: does all the right things, great teammate, great preparer, I think, 283 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: good practice player. Problem is, once the games come, he 284 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: just throws it to the other team. But clearly you 285 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: could do a lot worse as a backup. But I 286 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: think sometimes that intangible stuff makes coaches like you more 287 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: and forget about like, no, we've seen this guy play 288 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: for a long period of time, and you will lose 289 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: if this guy has to start over and over. But 290 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: I saw Ron say this a couple of weeks ago. 291 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: He's like, don't sleep on Jacoby Brissett. Saw him say 292 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: this yesterday that Jacoby Brissett needs more reps and he 293 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: got reps with the Ones. Now Sam how is projected 294 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: to be their starter. But I can tell you if 295 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: things go a little sideways, it wouldn't shock me if 296 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera goes to the bullpen to Jacoby Brissett. And 297 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: if that's the case one maybe I got a little 298 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: over excited on Sam Howe. I got to see it 299 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: before I believe it. And if they're talking up Jacoby 300 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Brissette as they are, that makes me pretty nervous. So 301 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to pivot away from thinking Washington it could 302 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: surprise some people. I think they're talented enough that they're 303 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: gonna be in that seven to kind of nine range 304 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: unless their quarterback is a complete and utter embarrassment, but 305 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: the Giants should be better than them, So Jacoby is 306 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: just your classic. This happens a lot in football because 307 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: we're all human beings, right, So when you're around someone 308 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: super high character, super hard worker, you're just gonna like 309 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: being around the guy. You're gonna like working next to 310 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: the guy. And in most of our professions, that guy 311 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: can be very productive in pro sports. What makes it very, 312 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: very difficult is like, ultimately, that guy has to complete passes, 313 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: that guy has to not turn the ball over, that 314 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: guy has to lead scoring drives. So like all the 315 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: intangible stuff that you love goes a little out the 316 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: window once the game starts and the ball snapped and 317 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: it's like he missed that coverage and threw it right 318 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: to the safety. And that's what Jacoby Brissette has done 319 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: over and over and over again whenever I've watched him play, 320 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: and last year was on full display when he had 321 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: to be the starter with Deshaun Wattson suspended. It was 322 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: like he just killed them in big spots. I remember 323 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: vividly a red zone turnover the Browns were driving. It's like, oh, 324 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: and that's just Jacoby brissat And if that guy has 325 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: to play, which I would bet on the guy ultimately 326 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: playing for Washington. It's going to be very, very difficult 327 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: for them to win games. And I was thinking about this. 328 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: You know, we've all seen bits and pieces of the 329 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Quarterback documentary. We've all anyone that falls the NFL, And 330 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: obviously if you're listening to this, you definitely do the 331 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: number one story typically at your campus, how your quarterback's 332 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: doing and what's going on with your quarterback. Your quarterback 333 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: talks a lot. We've talked at nauseum how difficult the 334 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: position to play is, right, It's arguably the hardest thing 335 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,239 Speaker 1: to do in all of sports. Everything that comes with it, 336 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint, from a mental capacity standpoint, from 337 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: just an overall physical standpoint. That there's a toughness element 338 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: where you're just getting slammed to the ground to get 339 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: back up, even if it's less violent than it once was. 340 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: Toughness is a huge, huge part of playing quarterback. So 341 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: all the tangible stuff to go on to weekly game plans, 342 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: the practice, the preparing for the game, and then actually 343 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: playing the game, you don't need, you know, we all 344 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: understand how hard it is. And then I was thinking 345 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: about this. I was listening to Pardon My Take and 346 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who I think was broke up with his girlfriend, 347 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: longtime girlfriend from Fresno State. Josh Allen didn't go to 348 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: Freston State. I think she did. I know that just 349 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: because I know people around you know, that world. And 350 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: they recently broke up and he started dating I think, 351 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: like an actress or someone in the Hollywood world. And 352 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: they were talking to him about when TMZ got a 353 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: photo of them kissing, and Jos said, yeah, they were 354 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: somewhere in southern California and TMZ was on a boat. 355 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: They were on a boat taking pictures of them making 356 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: out with his girlfriend. I don't even know if they 357 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: were making out. I think they were just you know, pecking, 358 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: having a good time, enjoying the sun, maybe having a 359 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: mimosa or something. And he was just saying, it was 360 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: a really weird feeling to look out there and seeing 361 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: people take pictures of me with this new girl I'm dating. 362 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: And then I saw a headline today that Aaron Rodgers 363 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: just purchased a nine point five million dollar house. Now 364 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: that he's you know, in the general area. Mon talk, 365 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: I think is what it goes by as the new 366 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: quarterback of the Jets, and I was thinking about, does 367 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: anyone care where Sauce Gardner, who clearly is one of 368 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: the best, if not the best, corner in the league, 369 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: or Quinn Williams, one of the best interior defensive linemen, 370 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: lives or dates. No one gives a shit. Like the 371 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback is not just from a playing standpoint, 372 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: it's twenty four seven, three sixty five. How you lead 373 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: your life. Everyone's constantly watching you. And this goes back 374 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: to Carson Wentz is when things got a little weird 375 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: and he hit some adversity, people didn't like the guy, 376 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: and then he didn't handle those situations very well, and 377 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: people just want no part of them. It's Colin's big 378 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: thing on Baker Mayfield, Well, he's trending toward if he 379 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: doesn't win this job. Almost feels like more people like 380 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: Baker than like Carson Wentz. But some of these guys, 381 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: you just kind of get lost in the shuffle and 382 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: you can't handle all the different variables that are coming 383 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: right because everyone's always looking at you twenty four to 384 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: seven all season long and all year long in the offseason. 385 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: And Rogers is the best example of it, now that 386 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's retired, he's the most famous Hollywood version of 387 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: our quarterback. But the young guys get treated like that. 388 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: Think about Patrick Mahomes, who is having as much success 389 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: early on in his career as any quarterback in like 390 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: the history of the league. Right gets starts winning MVP, 391 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: starts winning titles. It's just the total package. The moment 392 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: he builds this monstrosity of a house with a golf 393 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: course in a football field, it goes viral. Imagine if 394 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: just the guy next to you at work, whether it's 395 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: in a cubicle or an office, just all where he 396 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: lived was just all over the internet. And you can 397 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: say it's a public job. It obviously is. But that 398 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: is a level of pressure that is not easy. And 399 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: all these guys, I give them a lot of respect. 400 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being paid, you know, being Jalen Hurts. 401 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: I saw he just turned twenty five years old. I 402 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: think justin Herbert's similar age, maybe twenty six, twenty seven, 403 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: getting one hundred and eighty one hundred and ninety million 404 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed. You know, Now these guys had already made money, 405 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: some of them have had some endorsement deals. Herbert was 406 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: drafted high. But that's the type money where you never 407 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: have to think about money the rest of your life ever, 408 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: Like you don't even everything in your life beside maybe 409 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: buying an island or whatever, is kind of free. Money 410 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: is no issue, no object for anything you do. Yet 411 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: the work ethic for these guys like I don't expect 412 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: any of them to fall off at all. I expect 413 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: them to keep getting better. I expect Justin Herbert to 414 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: have the best season of his career. I expect Jalen 415 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: to sustain what he's been doing. I expect Lamar to 416 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: bounce back. So I get these guys a lot of respect. 417 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: This is not an easy position to be in. You know, 418 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: this is not something that life football. I guess trained 419 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: you a little bit for it, but no one prepares 420 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: you for two hundred million dollars the weight of the world, 421 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: and everyone's staring at you. Like Aaron Rodgers almost forty 422 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: years old. He's been around the block a few times. 423 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: But these young guys handle it pretty well. Everyone's staring 424 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: at him and you can say, yeah, the what the 425 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: money is for, and it's true, but it still doesn't 426 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: make it easy. And I really respect all these guys, 427 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: the majority of them. And we talked about this last 428 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: week when we talked about the top tier, just the 429 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: high character guys, right, And that's all the top guys, right. 430 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: They're all good people. People really like them. They treat 431 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: people well. All the stories about them on and off 432 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: the field are just really good. And that always hasn't 433 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: been the case when I was a kid. A lot 434 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: more sketchy characters in the league. I think. I think 435 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: the league's in a really, really good spot when it 436 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: comes to the character of the people that are playing 437 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: its most important position at quarterback?

I'm not really watching August baseball. 466 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: There's no other sports on it was I threw it 467 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: on watch Sack Wilson play a little bit. It wasn't 468 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: super locked in, but I watched. Almost six and a 469 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: half million people watched, and I looked it up just 470 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: to put it into context. The Lakers and Warriors, who 471 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: have never played in the Steph Curry era in a 472 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: playoff series, they did for the first time this year, 473 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: and in Game six, the deciding game, it averaged a 474 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: little over seven and a half million people, which was 475 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: a historic number for a second round series. The two 476 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: biggest brands in the NBA, Lebron James, Steph Curry Lakers 477 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: Warriors did under eight million people, so there was less 478 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: than a million and a half difference for the Hall 479 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 1: of Fame game the Hall of Fame game in the NFL. 480 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Like I say this over and over, this is not 481 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: going to last forever. I'm not putting a date on it. 482 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: I'm not putting a year on it. I don't know 483 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: when it's going to end. But the end is not near. 484 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: The end is definitely not in sight. The NFL is 485 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: so freaking popular they can get almost seven million people 486 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: to watch a Hall of Fame game, which is easily 487 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: the worst preseason game of them all. I mean, it's 488 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: it's just a joke. Really, the Hall of Fame game, 489 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: year in, year out, is much more about interviewing the 490 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, the candidates, the guys being inducted, right Barber, 491 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas, whatever. Those guys all get interviewed 492 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: throughout the game. That's to me why I kind of 493 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: pay attention interested to hear what they think, usually wearing 494 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: their gold jacket or like their Hall of Fame polos. 495 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: It's just kind of a cool moment how I looked 496 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: up the lights around. So usually the game is just 497 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: kind of a if it was like a put together 498 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: high school game. But football, man, it's never been more popular. 499 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: And if you can get almost seven million people to 500 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: watch the Hall of Fame game. The other thing that 501 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: jumped out to me, not that this is new, but 502 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: I went to I did CrossFit for the first time 503 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: on Friday, and the guy that convinced me to go, Chris, 504 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: was like, God, Rogers Sherlok's happy, didn't he I'm like, yeah, 505 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: he look like a pig. And shit, Rogers has hasn't 506 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: looked as happy since who knows when, and it's not 507 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: he's backing it up with his actions, with the amount 508 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: of money that he gave back for the salary cap 509 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: and working with his contract with the Jets. But it's 510 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: all over his face, and he's forgot that's thirty ninety. 511 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes his face he can look more like forty eight. 512 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: For all the ayahuasca and the dark rooms and the 513 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: cold tubs or whatever. He's not the youngest looking thirty 514 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: nine year old you've ever seen, but his joy, how 515 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: much funny he's having. The NFL does not need him 516 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: to be great. Like I said on a podcast or 517 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: two ago, Tom Brady's gone. No one cares. Not that 518 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: no one cares, but the league. It will not have 519 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: one rating impact at all. If Rogers has a big 520 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: year and he is a major story, he's always a 521 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: major story. But if he just has Lee's the Jets, 522 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: who are obviously New York enormous fan which I expect, 523 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: I think this could be one of the biggest stories 524 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: in recent memory, and it's gonna have a lot of parallels, 525 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: but on I would say a much bigger scale because 526 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks are not nearly the brand of the 527 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: New York Jets. So if Rogers gets this team to 528 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs, double digit wins, Competing to win the division, 529 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: you could argue would be the number one story in 530 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: the league. And you could see it on his face. 531 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: He thinks they're going to be really good. Every time 532 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: he talks, I really like this team. I really believe 533 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: in this team. And this is not some guy that's 534 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: not Philip Rivers saying that right that most years they're 535 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: struggling to win ten games. Some of his time his 536 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: tenure with the Chargers not great. Year in year out, 537 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: Rogers was on Super Bowl contending teams, teams that you 538 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: could say when the playoffs started, had a chance to 539 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: win it all. Like he knows what a good team 540 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: looks like. He knows what talent looks like. Same with Brady. 541 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: When Brady got to Tampa, you knew that he had 542 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. We had a squad. When you've 543 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: played around other good players, you know what a talented 544 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: team looks like. Right, If you've worked for Apple or Google, 545 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: like you're gonna know innovation, Right, if you've played for 546 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: the Packers for the last fifteen years, you've got a 547 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: pretty good idea what a playoff level team looks like. 548 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: You're not taking just like educated guesses you're like, Yeah, 549 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: that guy's a player, that guy's a player. This guy's 550 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: gonna be good, right. I don't think he's doing that 551 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: just randomly to try to boost up the morale and 552 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: the confidence of his squad. I think he believes it 553 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: because the older you get, you're not into fake it, 554 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: and as we've seen with Rogers, he ain't into like 555 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: you'll just say how it is, and if you just 556 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: go off his body language, you got to be pretty 557 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: bullish on the Jets. And last but not least, I 558 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: understand coaches can be very, very very sensitive to material 559 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: about game plans and their team getting out. It's why 560 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: when you see all the information about your team and 561 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: theviral videos during training camp, whether it's on Twitter or 562 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: Instagram or wherever you look on the internet, that stops 563 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: once the season happens, because the media is not allowed 564 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: into practice starting week one. Actually it starts like the 565 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: last week of training camp. But right now, if you 566 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: go to an NFL practice any of the thirty two teams, 567 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: the entire thing is open, so the media can stand 568 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: there and watch from the first whistle at practice to 569 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: the final huddle up practice and they break for lunch. 570 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: You get to watch the entire thing. The moment the 571 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: season starts, you get fifteen minutes of practice, you don't 572 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: get to watch anything. You definitely don't get to watch 573 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: any group or team drills, right And I think a 574 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: big reason for that is they don't want anyone seeing 575 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: the game plan stuff right now at all these practices. 576 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: If I go to Seattle, if I go to the Giants, 577 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: if I go to the Niners, if I go to whoever, 578 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: for the most part in early August, you are just 579 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: running your place, right. You're running your basic run plays, 580 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: you're running your basic pass plays, and you're building upon 581 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: them every day. And you're using them in different situations, right, 582 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: whether it's red zone, whether it's two minute drill, whether 583 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: it's backed up however, whether it's third and long. You 584 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: just you're fucking with different situations. You're trying to put 585 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: your team in just adverse situations or just normal football 586 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: situations and see how they react, seeing what you have 587 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: to work on. The closer and closer you get to 588 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: the season. The Packers who have a big like live 589 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: scrimmage slash practice at Lambeau which every year looks incredible, 590 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of teams do this right. I saw 591 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles do it the other night, would not stream 592 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: it on their website, and a lot of the Packer 593 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: fans were pissed off. And Mark Murphy, the president, who's 594 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: kind of like the pseudo owner, was like, you know, 595 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: football Operations was very very sensitive to putting that online 596 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: because we've got a new quarterbacks. Like, guys, we know 597 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: your offenses. You guys the LA floor McVeigh shanahan like, 598 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna run the plays that you've been 599 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: running with eron, I promise you are. This notion that 600 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: you're letting out state secrets by streaming the practice online 601 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: is laughable. Here's the other thing. You play the Bears 602 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: Week one. I would bet ten thousand dollars that the 603 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: Bears had a representative in Lambeau that game. They had 604 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: someone there taking notes, just like whoever I think the 605 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: Patriots play the Eagles, right, So when the Eagles had 606 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: their open practice at the link, there was someone from 607 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots or the Patriots paid to be there. So 608 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: this notion that by not streaming it you're keeping things 609 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: in house or hiding it is kind of lappable. The 610 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: reason Jordan Love is going to succeed or fail has 611 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: nothing to do with people being able to watch your 612 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: practice online on August fifth. It doesn't matter one ioed. 613 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 1: I believe that deep into my soul now I get 614 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: where coaches their reaction is always going to be don't 615 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: do it. No right, No, that's always going to be 616 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: a coach's reaction. No. I remember when I worked from 617 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: President State, when we would do a walk through on 618 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,719 Speaker 1: the road, whether it's a Ruckers, Wisconsin, Boise, wherever we 619 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: were playing, Pat Hill would always have me. He'd go 620 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: go check trash cans and hope to find the practice 621 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: script from the other team, and maybe you would gain something. 622 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: And then you'd hear stories over the years that other teams, 623 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: not even that we were playing, but just in general 624 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: college or pro, would leave fake practice scripts in the 625 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: trash can to try to throw you off. So you're 626 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: constantly doing gamesmanship. But when you play a game like 627 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: your core package of plays, you don't game plan all 628 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: those practice plays. You game plan the plays that you 629 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: think are going to work against their scheme. So the Bears, 630 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: you are going to run plays with Jordan Love that 631 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: you think will work against the defense that you fluse 632 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: runs just like your defense will try to run coverages 633 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: and different schemes against their run game, just corral justin 634 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: fields that you think will work against their offense. So 635 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: I think sometimes people can overthink this, get way too 636 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: scared about something that ultimately doesn't matter. But it doesn't 637 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: change the fact the packer just said no and the 638 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: fans were not happy, and you're just gonna have to wait. 639 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: Because I think Jordan Love I've seen people say he's sucked. 640 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: In practice. I have seen people, you know, retweet viral 641 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 1: videos of him thrown between two defenders who aren't even 642 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: putting up their hands, thinking it's like the greatest pass 643 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: since prime Brett Farv. I don't really have a take. 644 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: My expectations aren't high, but I wouldn't go as far 645 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: as I just think he's gonna suck. I've said over 646 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: and over. My bet would simply be it's gonna come 647 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: to an end. You don't typically go Farv Rogers farv 648 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,479 Speaker 1: Rogers two point zero. It usually ends. It's more likely 649 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: to be just an average to below average quarterback than 650 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: some fringe Pro Bowl. So I'm excited to see it. 651 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: It's if he is good. I think one Peyton Manning's 652 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: all over him for the Quarterback Series, it would be 653 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: one of the most intriguing storylines. The other thing with 654 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: Rogers and this happened with the Patriots and Brady is 655 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: anytime you break up. Anyone listening to this who's broken 656 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: up with someone or been dumped? What do you do now? 657 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: With social media? You kind of keep tabs? How are 658 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: they doing? How are they looking? You know, if you're 659 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: a girl, like is he getting fat? Is he losing 660 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: his hair? If you're a guy, like, does the guy 661 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: she's dating or married to make more money than me? 662 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: Is her life better than me? Even though we know 663 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: how fake everything is online, but still it's just it's 664 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: a human reaction. It's no different in football, Like every 665 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: Packer fan is going to be keeping an eye on 666 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: the Jets, and Aaron Rodgers is going to be keeping 667 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: an eye on Jordan Love even if he likes the guy. 668 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: You think Aaron Rodgers wants the Packers to have more 669 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 1: success than him and vice versa. Of course not. So 670 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: that's just we saw it with Brady, and we saw 671 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: with Tampa, and we saw with the Patriots. It was like, 672 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: God Belichick has nothing Cam Newton. Their disaster and Brady 673 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Huge, huge win for the Brady contingent, huge, 674 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: huge l for the Patriots. If the Packers win five 675 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: or six games, even if they are very very equipped 676 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: to take on a young quarterback next year in the draft, 677 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: and the team actually is pretty loaded, and then Jordan Love, 678 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: they won't even own that much money. It's not even 679 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 1: that big a deal. And ultimately Rogers wanted to leave, 680 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: so who even cares. What are they supposed to do 681 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: hold them hostage. They did the right thing, and Rodgers 682 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: goes on to win a bunch of games and be 683 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: in the ANFC Championship. It'll be just, you know, somewhat 684 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,919 Speaker 1: a black mark for the Packers organization. It just will. 685 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: And if it's the opposite, if Rogers missed the playoffs 686 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Jordan Love they're the seventh seed, 687 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: it would be an enormous win for the Packers. It's 688 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: why when you roll it back to back when I 689 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: was in college and they made the pivot from like 690 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: Ted Thompson got rid of Brett Faarr and they went 691 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and it worked. He became a fucking genius. 692 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was it's one of the great moves 693 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: in like NFL history. It really is, like there's some 694 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: of the great moves in NFL history, a little trading 695 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: Montana and getting rid Offar for Rogers and Steve Young, 696 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't get any better than that. But most 697 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: moves are like getting rid of that guy for some 698 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: scrub or some dude that's not good enough, and then 699 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: you're drafting a quarterback the next year, it's like, yeah, 700 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna betch Carson Wentz for Jalen Hurts, Like how 701 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: is this gonna go? Three years later, the dudes on 702 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: a two hundred million dollar contract had you within you know, 703 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: a couple first downs and a pi of winning the 704 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Like that worked out pretty well, pretty good 705 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 1: little transition. So it's just gonna be a talking point 706 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: that I find pretty enjoyable and I'm looking forward to. Okay, 707 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: let's do a little mail bank at John middlecoff is 708 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: the Instagram at John middlecoff is the Instagram fire in 709 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: those dms. Appreciate everyone who has. Let's start with Zach. 710 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 1: I played soccer at Ohio State. Our tickets were free, 711 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: and there were several occasions when we were mid workout 712 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: on the indoor turf field when a football position group 713 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 1: came through and basically kicked us off. Did it bother 714 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: us in the moment, no question. However, in the years 715 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: that followed, all the Olympic sports, soccer included, benefited from 716 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 1: completely new, state of the art facilities, and we know 717 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: where that money came from. Your comments were smart on, 718 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: were spot on, and they shouldn't be triggering to anyone. 719 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: It's just a fact that football foots the bill for 720 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: essentially all of college athletics. I don't know, I mean, 721 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't even trying to trigger anybody. It was just 722 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: just a fact, you know. I mean football, especially at 723 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,479 Speaker 1: the school like Ohio State. I mean, Ohio State's much 724 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: closer to an NFL team than they are your run 725 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: of the mill college team. I would imagine they are. 726 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they're definitely a top two or three program 727 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: in the country, just in terms of revenue, in terms 728 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: of importance, in terms of fan base. They're just they're 729 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: a monster, and you're really a pretty good athlete. I mean, 730 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: playing any sport at a place in Ohio State is very, 731 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: very difficult. But you know, it's just there's a clear 732 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: hierarchy at any school, like you go. I heard Kyle Shanahan. 733 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: I didn't even know this. He started his college career 734 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: because he played at Texas as a walk on and 735 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: eventually I think got a scholarship started at Duke, and 736 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,879 Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, when I showed up the Duke, 737 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: my high school felt more important than their football team. 738 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: They were a basketball school. So like when the guys 739 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: walk around Duke, you know who's kind of paying the bills, 740 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 1: the basketball team. And I just think there's nothing wrong 741 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: with just embracing reality. Like the WNBA should send thank 742 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: you letters every day to the NBA, to the players, 743 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 1: to the Players' Union, to Adam Silver and David Stern. 744 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: They pay for the league. There's you know this. You 745 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: got to know where your bread's buttered. You got to 746 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: know who compensates you, right, You got to know why 747 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: you're in business. Some businesses make money on their own 748 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: in a lot lot of different athletic endeavors. It's subsidized 749 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,959 Speaker 1: by someone else. Football subsidizes itself and everyone else. Okay, 750 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: let's dive into Joe's question question for the pod. I'm 751 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: Aniner fan, never really had faith in Lance, and I 752 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: wish they would have picked fields instead. Anyway, do you 753 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: think it's possible that Donald could resurrect his career with 754 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: the Niners. I've heard you say good things about him 755 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: in the past. I personally feel like this is the 756 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: best situation for him, coming from the Jets and the Panthers. 757 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: Or do you think purty is the way to go? Well. 758 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: I definitely think that any young player, once they get 759 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: with a really talented team and a good offensive coach, 760 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: especially a quarterback, has a chance to resurrect his career 761 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: if it's worth or possible to play well. Not Ever, 762 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 1: some people just can't play for whatever reason. I would 763 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: put Sam Darnald on a guy that. Yeah, if Sam 764 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: Darnald got his opportunities with the Niners, I think he 765 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: would look better than he ever would. My question is this, 766 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm recording this on Monday. Had a fantastic practice. He's 767 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: fully healthy if he stays healthy throughout the season, which 768 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: obviously is a big If he started whatever eight games 769 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: and he got hurt in one and had a devastating injury, 770 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: wasn't all his fault, Kyle. You can't block an all 771 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: pro with a backup tight end, but that's conversation for 772 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: a different day. Purdy's just gonna play and Purdy Kyle 773 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: loves Brock party and they're gonna be good with Brock 774 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: Purty now super Bowl good. Who knows? Can they win 775 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: playoff games? Time will tell, right, you know. I think 776 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,760 Speaker 1: there's still question marks on Purty throughout the entire season. 777 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: It's not like he I mean, he only started basically 778 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: starting in December last year. But I think there's a 779 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: very good chance that if Brock Purty can stay healthy, 780 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: that Sam Donald never really gets to play. And I think, though, 781 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: to me, the biggest question mark on August seventh, how 782 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: the next two and a half weeks play out. Who 783 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: wins the backup quarterback John I'm going I'm betting on 784 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 1: Sam Donald because I think the coach like Sam Darnold 785 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: more than Trey Lance. But if Trey Lance wins that job, 786 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: then that tells you everything you need to know. I 787 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: think that's the number one thing we have to look 788 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: forward to. It's August seventh. Basically, by August twenty fifth, 789 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: I think we'll have a really good idea before the 790 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: final cuts who has won this job. They play the 791 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: Raiders this week in joint practices. Then they have a 792 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: preseason game where Perdy's not gonna play. So Lance and 793 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 1: Sam who gets the first set of reps in that game? 794 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: How do they both look? Because they're gonna be playing 795 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: with backups, the Debos, the Auks, the Kittles, they're not 796 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna be playing in that game. Used check McCaffrey, Like, 797 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna be playing with a lot of random guys. 798 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: So if you do play well, it's gonna be pretty impressive. 799 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: Last night checked the Raiders defense isn't exactly the eighty 800 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: five Bears. So I think preseason games, well, I don't 801 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 1: put much stock into him, like I saw Derek Carr 802 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: is gonna play or Russell Wilson, Like, it doesn't really 803 00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: matter to me how they look. You know, I'm not 804 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: saying that doesn't reflect whether they're playing well or not. 805 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: But whatever, I'll judge them on regular season games. Backups 806 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: though it matters toward coaches, man, it does, especially young players, 807 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,439 Speaker 1: backup position battles, where you are in the depth chart, 808 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: it has a big impact. This college football realignment is 809 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: now just for money and it's minor league. NFL two 810 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: conferences just like the NFL. With all that is going on. 811 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: Should they change the rules to allow college football players 812 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,439 Speaker 1: to leave the NFL earlier than three years. Let those 813 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: guys go make more money at an earlier year now, 814 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: rather than making them stay in college. Why would the 815 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: NFL want that? Though? The NFL, what percent of players 816 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,439 Speaker 1: think in recent memory would be ready to go right 817 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: out of like year one of college football? It's a 818 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,439 Speaker 1: very very small list, it really is. Or even after 819 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,760 Speaker 1: their sophomore year. You're talking the elite of the elite 820 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: of Chase maybe a Saquon right, some of these elite 821 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: O line and D line players. It is not a 822 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: high percentage. Yet a lot of guys would leave. You 823 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: know who doesn't want that? The NFL, the National Football League, 824 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: likes that rule. They don't want to worry about a 825 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: bunch of nineteen and twenty year olds coming in their 826 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: league who aren't ready to go because there's a physical element. 827 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: How often, if you're listening to this, if you're following 828 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: your team's training camp right now, is a second year 829 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 1: player from like LSU or Texas or USC or Oklahoma 830 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: or whoever on your team making a big jump that 831 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 1: did not play much as a rookie, and that guy 832 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: was in college at minimum three years. A lot of 833 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 1: them are four or five. So football is not basketball. 834 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: And even in basketball, I see what the Warriors. They 835 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: got a bunch of random young guys on the team. 836 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: None of them are ready to contribute to real games. 837 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,760 Speaker 1: So these leagues want guys. One thing that football has 838 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: in college is like good coaching. These coaches football make 839 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: a lot of money. A lot of them are pretty good. 840 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 1: A lot of these coaches defensive coordinators, offensive coordinators could 841 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: easily be doing it in the pros as well, so 842 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: they help develop and put these guys in position to 843 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:19,280 Speaker 1: get better. Plus physically, most guys develop a lot nineteen 844 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,720 Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty two years old. Once you're like Jason Kelse. 845 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey probably hasn't got stronger in seven years, but 846 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 1: that period when he was like nineteen to twenty three 847 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: was a big growth period for him as a player. 848 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm just using him as an example. So yeah, I 849 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: don't think that'll change. It is not the NFL's problem, 850 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: slash issue, or honestly even worry about what's going on 851 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: with conference realignment, Like I mean, if it has ramifications 852 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: on the development and the play, then maybe, But as 853 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: of right now. They don't care. That's their problem. Who 854 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: is more responsible for the death of the PAC twelve 855 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 1: for having the backbone, for having no backbone to negotiate 856 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: one huge college TV deal? Well, if I was the 857 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: SEC or, I was Ohio State, in Michigan or USC 858 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 1: or Texas, I would slowly, but surely, if not much 859 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: more quickly, break away from the NCUBA. Why do they 860 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: need the NCUBLEA these leagues negotiate their television deals. It's 861 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: not the NCUBA. The NCAA just tells them the rules. 862 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: Why don't they develop their own rules. Why don't they 863 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: go how about we have one hundred scholarships. Why don't 864 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 1: they just go independent? It feels to me like college 865 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: football has outgrown the nc DOUBLEA. That's what it feels 866 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: like to me now when it speaks to the PAC twelve, 867 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 1: like I said, it was Larry Scott, and I am 868 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: not anti. I'm glad the soccer player hit me like, 869 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm not anti those sports. I have a lot of respect. 870 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 1: You play soccer at Ohio State, at Duke, at North 871 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: Carolina at Texas, or baseball or any of the Olympic sports. Swimming, 872 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: it's hard as shit. My girlfriend that I dated in 873 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: high school through college d one water polo scholarship. It's 874 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: hard a lot of what is just asked upon you 875 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: relative to a normal student. It's not easy by any means. 876 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 1: It just doesn't generate any money, so relative to the money. 877 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: But Larry Scott didn't understand the importance of putting football 878 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,879 Speaker 1: number one, two, three, four and five, and everything else 879 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 1: after benefits everything else after, like your golf programs, your 880 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: swimming programs, or soccer programs benefit when football is kicking 881 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: ass and taking names at a conference level, at a 882 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: university level. And I don't think Larry, who is a 883 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: tennis player, understood that. And he had visions of something 884 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: different and it was awful. Now, one thing I always 885 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 1: heard is Larry Scott's argument was, what wasn't my fault 886 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: that USC hired Sark and hired Clay Helton. He didn't 887 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: hire the coaches right, But his vision as a conference 888 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 1: was a big, big downfall for you know what used 889 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: to be known as the Pac twelve and now people 890 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: are calling the Pack four ak just it's dead. Was 891 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: listening to a pod a couple weeks ago, and you 892 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 1: were talking about when you went bald well, decided yesterday 893 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: to join the Bald Brotherhood hit twenty six this year 894 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: and decided it was time. That was right around the 895 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: time I did it as well. Was it the army 896 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 1: for eight years and deployed three times, so wearing a 897 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,720 Speaker 1: helmet for three years did not do me any favors. 898 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 1: Appreciate your service, Chris Jones. Problem seems bigger than it feels. 899 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: Oh this for mailback. Patty and Kelsey left money on 900 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: the table for more players to be signed. We trade 901 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 1: away Tyreek, which I was good with, but not having 902 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: CJ signed like the Packers. With Rogers and refusing to 903 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: sign players that the team truly meets. Aaron wanted weapons 904 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: and they spent high picks on defense. Same with the Chiefs. 905 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 1: Just feels that eventually Patty will grow tired of the 906 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,360 Speaker 1: front office not getting him a weapons and signing a 907 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: plus players that are on the team after not taking 908 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: all the money he probably deserves to be paid. One 909 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: major issue, or I would say not issue, but difference 910 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: with Mahomes and Rogers is Mahomes just won the Super Bowl, 911 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: like that just happened. You know. Part of Rogers' angst 912 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 1: edginess he was taking a lot of shit because it 913 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,319 Speaker 1: was like, God, this guy can't get out of out 914 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 1: of the championship round. If Rogers, I think he's been 915 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 1: a five conference championship games. Obviously, he's only been to 916 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: the one super Bowl and he won it. If of 917 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: those five conference championship games, right, he would have won 918 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: a couple of them and lost the super Bowl, I 919 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: think we would look at him a lot different, and 920 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 1: I think he would have been He would have thought 921 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 1: of his time in Green Bay a lot different. Like 922 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: just getting to the super Bowl. Peyton Manning did it, 923 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: Elway did it. It's a big deal. You're allowed to 924 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 1: lose it, but when you don't get there, that's a 925 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: big hurdle to cross. And the difference is Mahomes and Andy. 926 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: I would say Andy and Veitch when it comes to 927 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes and how could you blame him? He trusts those 928 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: guys to the nth degree. What they say, they've always 929 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: backed up, and even if they haven't done maybe everything 930 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 1: that he's wanted them to do. He knows how talented 931 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 1: Andy is. And even last year is a good example. 932 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 1: All the guys Beach drafted, how they contributed to a 933 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl team. You know, Rogers started nitpicking, they started 934 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 1: getting rid of older players. It's not like they were 935 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 1: signing guys. The Chiefs are always aggressive to do stuff. 936 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: They tried to sign Trent Williams, they got rid of 937 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: the Honey Badger, but then they got Justin Reid. They're 938 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: always making moves. They trade Tyreek Hill, and it looks 939 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 1: like they've drafted good players with those picks. I think 940 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 1: the Chris Jones thing is, you know, are they comfortable 941 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: with giving him an enormous amount of money in his 942 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 1: third contract? And I think it's a legitimate question to ask. Now, 943 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right. In the short term, intermediate future, 944 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: you got to have Chris Jones if you probably want 945 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl this year. Now, big picture, 946 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: could you entertain trading him because you could probably get 947 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 1: a one into two. Could you go back to back years? 948 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 1: Trading Tyreek Hill and Chris Jones seems like pretty risky, 949 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: but it does feel like they're semi equipped. They were 950 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 1: much more equipped to handle the loss of Tyreek because 951 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: they have Kelsey, the emergence of a Chaco just Mahomes 952 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 1: in general, they would have no chance to really have 953 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: an answer to what Chris Jones provides them, So I 954 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 1: don't know, there aren't always right and wrong answers to this. 955 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: This is also a business. Just because Chris Jones wants 956 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars guaranteed doesn't mean the chiefs are 957 00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: cool with giving him that right, especially when the other 958 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,879 Speaker 1: guys on the team consistently take less money and they've 959 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 1: already paid Chris Jones a lot of money. Now I 960 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 1: get where he's coming from. So these sometimes situations when 961 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: it comes to money can be complicated. Not everything's black 962 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 1: and white. So I think Mahomes's trust in those guys 963 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: is incredibly high, and I think that's what really separates. 964 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 1: I would say, kind of your guys operation is that 965 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,880 Speaker 1: everyone your main two players. You've got three main players, right, Mahomes, Kelsey, 966 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, Well two of the three of them. I 967 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: would imagine like Travis Kelsey would say, I love you 968 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: Tandy Reid, like that's their relationship. Like it's it's not 969 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 1: trust and it's love, it's like it's like a it's 970 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 1: like a family loyalty. Chris is, you know, operating within 971 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 1: the best interest of his own business, and we'll see 972 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: how it plays out. Hope all as well. I remember 973 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: you mentioning Metallica on a show a few months ago. 974 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 1: I think it was about an old the old bassist 975 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 1: Jason Nustad leaving the band, and was wondering if you 976 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 1: are a fan, of course, who fucking doesn't like Metallica? 977 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,880 Speaker 1: If so, even if you are a casual fan, I absolutely, 978 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: one hundred percent recommend that you see them when they 979 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: roll through Phoenix in September. I saw them at the 980 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: Metal Land for two shows over the weekend, and it 981 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: was absolutely bananas. The crowd was eighty k deep each night, 982 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,280 Speaker 1: and the boys absolutely brought it for two plus hours, 983 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 1: and they played entirely separate set lists each night, so 984 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: there were no repeats. I know how much you appreciate athletes, 985 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 1: artists who are masters at their crafts, and these dudes 986 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: have simply never been better. I have nothing but respect 987 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 1: for any artist, whether it be like Metallica, who's been 988 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 1: at it for I mean, what decades. This they started 989 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: in the eighties, the nineties, two thousand, twenty tens, I 990 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,880 Speaker 1: mean this is this is like decade four and a 991 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,040 Speaker 1: half here. I mean, they've been going strong for a while. 992 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: They can just consistently bring it, and it's I can't 993 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: even imagine the feeling of seeing Morgan walling and seeing 994 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,800 Speaker 1: forty thousand people look at him that feeling as a singer, 995 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 1: as a band, as an entertainer right on stage. It'll 996 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: probably be the same as a comedian. Has to be 997 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 1: a high that you know, you hear these players talk 998 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,720 Speaker 1: about it, right, the high of coming out for a game, 999 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: or the high of making a big play in front 1000 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: of whether it's in the you know, college, in front 1001 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,439 Speaker 1: of one hundred thousand people, in the NFL, in front 1002 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: of you know, thirty million people watching and sixty thousand 1003 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,920 Speaker 1: people in the stands. You never get that in business. 1004 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: You know, I've been had some success in the podcast business. 1005 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: You make more money. It doesn't actually do anything for you, right, 1006 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you don't want to do that and 1007 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,320 Speaker 1: it can't help your family or whatever, can't buy a house, 1008 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 1: But it's not like you get highs and lows from that, 1009 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,320 Speaker 1: like you get highs and lows from your craft. Right. Ultimately, Metallica, 1010 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: those these guys have been making millions forever, and most 1011 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: motivational speakers, and you can depend on who you listen too. 1012 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: They can be cheesy or whatever. I would say one 1013 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 1: theme that the most dead on theme of anyone that 1014 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: talks about just human beings and motivating and success for 1015 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: a living is when you follow your passion, it makes 1016 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 1: life so much easier. Like ultimately, Metallica is a good example. Right. 1017 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure they have bad days. I'm sure they have 1018 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 1: days when they're not feeling it, but clearly they love 1019 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,760 Speaker 1: what they do, like love playing music. Now they happen 1020 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: to be elite at it, but like you couldn't at 1021 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: their age, which I would imagine a couple of them 1022 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: are close to sixty. Now, you couldn't be jamming for 1023 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 1: two plus hours and touring because you don't need the 1024 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: money at this point, if you weren't just an addict. 1025 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 1: And I think about this with football coaches like Andy 1026 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: Reid or Belichick or Saban, like these guys love football 1027 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 1: more than you can ever imagine. And anyone listening to 1028 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,879 Speaker 1: this who thinks they love football and listen, I would 1029 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 1: imagine most people listening to this love football. I love football. 1030 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 1: I've seen it firsthand, the love like coach Reid has 1031 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 1: for football. I've never been around Belichick, but I know 1032 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: his kind is so much stronger than what the rest 1033 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: of us have, including ninety nine point nine percent of players. 1034 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 1: It's stupid, and I think it probably speaks for Metallica, 1035 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: it speaks for some of these actors. I just love 1036 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 1: anyone who takes their craft really, really seriously and can 1037 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: continue doing it forever at a really really high level. 1038 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 1: I think it's just I'm a sucker for that. And 1039 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: I remember Metallica. Maybe it was a year ago, it 1040 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 1: might have been two years ago. They played this small, 1041 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: small venue, it might have been less than a thousand 1042 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: people in downtown San Francisco, which obviously is I think, 1043 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of them are from around that area. 1044 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: It's kind of like their home base. And they put 1045 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: tickets on sale like five o'clock they were going to 1046 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: play like eight o'clock. Sold out in a minute whatever, 1047 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: and they played for like three hours in front of 1048 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: a thousand people. And I remember some of the clips 1049 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: going viral of that performance, thinking, these guys are just addicts. Man. 1050 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 1: Music is their crack and their crackheads, and it's just 1051 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 1: I got I think Tom Brady was like that, Peyton 1052 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: Manning was like that. In athletics, a lot of times right, 1053 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 1: your your physical attributes go, like Tom's kind of started 1054 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,439 Speaker 1: to go. Not his arm necessarily, but he's probably never 1055 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 1: been slower. Not that he was ever fast, but he 1056 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: definitely didn't want to get hit. He just he didn't quite. 1057 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 1: Peyton's arm went, Roethlisberger's arm went, Breeze's arm went. A 1058 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: lot of players, you know, receivers and running backs that 1059 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 1: aren't fast, you just lose the speed. Reavis lost his speed. 1060 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 1: He just went in the Hall of Fame. If you're 1061 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 1: lucky enough and your voice stays right as a as 1062 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: a broadcaster, as an artist, like you can do it 1063 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: for a long long time. I think the Rolling Stone 1064 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: still going, you know, on tour. Obviously they're doing they're 1065 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: making money off of it. I remember years ago because 1066 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,480 Speaker 1: all the big artists used to come through when I 1067 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: worked for the Eagles with the Link and Taylor Swift. 1068 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean this was probably twenty ten or twenty eleven. 1069 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: Don Simolenski, who then was like the assistant president. Now 1070 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: he's the president of the Eagles, been the president for 1071 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: a long time. He used to be an early morning 1072 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 1: workout guy. I was not. I just I would go. 1073 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: I would show up at the office, I would sleep 1074 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 1: because you would work so late, basically sleep in. He 1075 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 1: usually had to be at the work like six thirty seven. 1076 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 1: I would just get out of bed. I would drive 1077 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 1: right to the office and I would shower and change 1078 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: there because you had a locker or whatever. And he 1079 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 1: would always be changing after his early morning workout. I 1080 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 1: mean he was leaving work a lot earlier than the scouts. 1081 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: But I would always pick his brain about the business 1082 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: element of the concerts, and he would I remember telling 1083 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 1: me after a Taylor Swift concert, they like cut her 1084 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: a check. I think it was like two or three 1085 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: million dollars. And again, this is over a decade ago. 1086 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what she's getting now. But the 1087 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 1: business behind the amount of money you make on touring 1088 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 1: when you get to Metallica, Taylor Swift. I saw with 1089 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,560 Speaker 1: Morgan Wallan what he's about, Garth Brooks Forever, whoever, right, 1090 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, all the big artists is stupid. It's really 1091 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: where you print your cash. But I also was thinking 1092 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: this when I was at Morgan walland like, there are 1093 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people involved in a tour, right, You're 1094 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 1: touring with several people, they all have bands, so everyone 1095 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 1: needs to get paid. You got people putting up the stuff, 1096 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: taking it down. You have all your managers and agents. 1097 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 1: There's just a lot of moving parts. It is not easy. 1098 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: I remember thinking the second night, because I went back 1099 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 1: to back nights, thinking this is a big operation. It's 1100 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: clearly a lucrative operation. But it's it's fascinating to watch 1101 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: all the people. But I also watched obviously the headliner 1102 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: is the guy making the most, but his bands obviously 1103 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 1: got to get paid. All of his opening acts they 1104 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 1: got to get paid as well as their bands have 1105 00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: to get paid. And then their agents and managers and 1106 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 1: everyone that presents them have their hand in the cookie jar. 1107 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,000 Speaker 1: I just think when you got a tour, especially a 1108 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: relatively big tour with there are a lot of people 1109 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:08,920 Speaker 1: on the tour, He's got a lot of hands in 1110 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: the cookie jar. Now, the bigger the tour is, the 1111 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 1: more cookies in that cookie jar. You've got a lot 1112 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 1: of people reaching in there. I think it's pretty fascinating. 1113 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,440 Speaker 1: I've always been fascinated by the music industry. I think 1114 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,440 Speaker 1: we'll end on that. We'll just keep it rolling. Have 1115 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 1: another podcast tomorrow. Audios. The volume
