Mike Silver, the longtime 52 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: reporter slash writer wrote for Sports Illustrated in its heyday, 53 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: just put out a new book on kind of the 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Shanahan Clan. I actually just hit me, like, I think 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to read a couple of books this July. 56 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: That's a goal of mine. Let's read two books this July. 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Not listen. I do a lot of audio books, but like, 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: sit there and read no phone, just enjoy the book, 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: even if it's on MyPad. Just let's do. And that's 60 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: one of them. I need to download it later tonight 61 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: for the holiday. And Mike Silver, who's pretty dialed in 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: through something out last week that Tom Brady was the 63 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: driving force in making sure the Raiders were not interested 64 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: in it, were signed or went down the path of 65 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, and obviously they didn't. They Actually he goes 66 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: to Seattle that they get Geno Smith that Pete Carroll, 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, had a history with, and it kind of 68 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: hit me. I'm sure some of you listening are with 69 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: the company work somewhere where you started as a young intern, 70 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: started out of college, and if you're my age, maybe 71 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: you've been there fifteen twenty thirty years. However long that's 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Obviously, you know, anytime you work your way up, 73 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: but usually when you enter a company at twenty two, 74 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four years old, if you're young, they 75 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: kind of look at you a little differently. It's like 76 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: sometimes I think that my parents' friends that you know 77 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: as you get older, you know, you saw me in 78 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: junior high and high school doing the dumbest shit, and 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: now I was like, you're married, you have a house, 80 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: you have a career. It's like, I can only imagine 81 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: one day when I'll look at like my kids friends 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: and then they're grown up and they're big. It's like, 83 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: how do you take them seriously. Maybe it's just as 84 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: time goes on, you just become kind of numb to it. 85 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: But I do understand from Tom Brady's perspective, like he 86 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: had a front row seat of the ugliness and now 87 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: a huge part of that clearly was the Jets, but 88 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: of the Sam Donald experience. And maybe it's hard for 89 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady to look at Sam Donald regardless of what 90 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: happened last year, and take him seriously, and that there's 91 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: an element of that, like a lot of you that 92 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: you know started a company then go somewhere else because 93 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: you want to be taken seriously, right, And sometimes that 94 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: helps that when you go somewhere else and they don't 95 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: look at you like, oh, I remember when he was 96 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: just an intern, right. And I also wonder if Tom 97 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: Brady who Kevin O'Connell was drafted to the Patriots, like 98 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: that's where he started his career. The relationship with Tom 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: and Kevin is probably kind of unique where it's not 100 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: just like football conversations, like these guys are friends and 101 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: they can have an honest conversation about the experience of 102 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Now, I'll never defend Sam 103 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: Darnold in that last game against Detroit, he did not 104 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: play well. There is no excuses for that performance. I 105 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: do think the playoff game is partly on the coach. 106 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: The coach did a really poor job when the offensive 107 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: line was getting smoked and he just refused to run 108 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 1: the ball. It was just I'm gonna pass, We're gonna 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: go down my way. And I think sometimes in football, 110 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady knows this better than any anyone, is like, 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: we don't have a style. Well, pass if it's working, 112 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: we'll run it. If it's working, well, do whatever it 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: takes to move the ball, get first down. In score points. 114 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: We have no quote unquote offensive philosophy beside to try 115 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: to score more points than the other team. We will 116 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: do whatever is working. That's not normal. What Belichick and 117 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was used to philosophically is basically abnormal to 118 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: everyone else in the NFL. Sean mcvaigh has a certain 119 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: style in which he likes to play. Same with Kyle shanahan, 120 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: same with Kevin O'Connell, same with Andy Reid, same with 121 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Jim Harball. And they kind of win or lose playing 122 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: that style. Bill Belichick, you know, his operation offensively and 123 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: defensively had none. They did whatever it took to win 124 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: that individual game, and it's you know, wild go down 125 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: is one of the greatest coaches, is not the greatest 126 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: coach of all time, but I do think Tom Brady. Listen, 127 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, we talk about this in scouting all the time, 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: and it's discussed a lot now because so many people 129 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: discuss the different the way people view, you know, biases 130 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to viewing players, and previous experiences when 131 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: it comes to building teams, and listen, we're all a 132 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: product of the way we've been taught in our experiences. 133 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: And Tom Brady had a front row seat for the 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: ugly of Sam Darnold. And you know, he goes to Seattle. 135 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: I think he's turned the corner. I expect him to 136 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: be a solid player, but I do understand where Tom 137 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: Brady's coming from. You also don't tie yourself to a 138 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: younger player. You did trade a third round pick for Gino, 139 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: but if in a couple of years it doesn't work, 140 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: you're still in the mix, like of looking to draft 141 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and it doesn't change anything. Though. I don't 142 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: think Seattle, who just drafted a quarterback in the third 143 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: round really viewed it that way. Either. It's not like 144 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: we're signing up for this guy and he's our quarterback 145 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: for the next five years. But listen, one thing that's 146 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: going to be clear is John Spytech has been in 147 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: the scouting profession a front row seat for guys that 148 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: know what they were doing for twenty plus years. Obviously, 149 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll as a head coach has specific philosophies with operation. 150 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see Tom Brady's influence 151 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: when it comes moving forward, because what if they get 152 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: to the point Sam darnlds is an easy one if 153 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: your spike se clear, I'm not going to battle Tom 154 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: on this, even if I liked him. Whatever, cool, We'll 155 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: just go with Geno. Pete will be happy. It's but 156 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: what if we get to a point in like a 157 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: year where it's like Tom, I like this guy. I've 158 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: been scouting quarterbacks for a while. I understand you're the 159 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: greatest player of all time, but like, this is my profession. 160 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: I've had a front row seat, Like I got a 161 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: pretty good idea what works and what doesn't you know? 162 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: I've scouted every player in this league for a long 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: long time, and what Tom disagrees, and it's gonna be 164 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: fascinating to watch how that plays out over time. Because listen, Gino, 165 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: if you're John spy Tech, this year, to me, the 166 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: number one goal of your scouting department is we are 167 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: we are all in on looking at all these quarterbacks. 168 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: We're evaluating every single guy that's gonna get drafted, let alone, 169 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: all the guys are gonna be top you know, one 170 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: hundred prospects. All my scouts are gonna see him in person. 171 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: If I'm spy Tech, I would like to find ways 172 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: to see a handful of them in person over the 173 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: course of the year, so that they are going to 174 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: be scouting quarterbacks very, very heavily. You know it's Tom, 175 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: so I don't know. It'd be fascinating to watch it 176 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: play out. George Kittle had a comment on the bus 177 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: that I thought was pretty interesting and like most teams, 178 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: and you see this during hard knocks, right when a 179 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: rookie's introducing himself, and most teams have certain requirements what 180 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: your school is, where you're from, what your signing bonus is, 181 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: and Kittle said that the forty nine ers, when rookies 182 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: during OTA's introduced themselves to the team they added what 183 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: you made during NIL, and he said it was the 184 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: most eye opening experience he's ever had because he'd get 185 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: a guy that's an undrafted free agent that would like, 186 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: come up. My signing bonus is thirty thousand dollars. Last 187 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: year in NIL, I made seven hundred thousand dollars. George 188 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: is thinking, like, you made a bad decision. And listen, 189 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: the numbers that are thrown out there at seem like 190 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: a little crazy. Knowing people in the business. Obviously it's 191 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: been well reported. Now I feel pretty comfortable, like some 192 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: of the seven figure deals clearly are going to the quarterbacks, 193 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: but like good players at big programs, starting players were 194 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: making anywhere between half a million dollars to you know, 195 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: seven to eight hundred thousand dollars, and some of these 196 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: guys historically, if I was going to be a fourth 197 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: or fifth round pick, maybe I just didn't like school. 198 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: I don't blame them. I did not like school. I 199 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: thought about that today, Actually, how did I How could 200 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: someone who hated school as much as me somehow have 201 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: multiple degrees from a higher institution of learning, Like, it's 202 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Now, I cheated in high school. I hated school. 203 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: Because it was just so boring to me. Looking back, 204 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: there were some classes in college that would probably somewhat 205 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: interest me now, but I just remember sitting in class 206 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: and thinking, what a waste of time this all is, 207 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: Like this is so how is any of this gonna 208 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: help me? Like going to I remember taking chemistry in college. 209 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck is this gonna do for 210 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: me in five years in the real world? And the 211 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: answer was absolutely nothing, but I had to take it. 212 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: The point is a lot of athletes think like that. 213 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: Don't blame them, because if you're starting for the University 214 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: of Texas, for the University Alabama, for the University of Ohio, 215 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: State Oregon, whatever, a top thirty forty program, how could 216 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: you not think I'm gonna be in the NFL. Don't 217 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: blame them at all. And most of them are at 218 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: least going to get a shot, right if you're a starter, 219 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: several year starter in Division I college, especially the top programs, 220 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: probably at worst going to be an undrafted free agent 221 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: and just get an opportunity in a training camp. Even 222 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: if you get washed out pretty quick, you're gonna get 223 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: your shot. And a lot of guys would be like, listen, 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a first round pick, but I 225 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: got a year of eligibility left. But I despise school 226 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm leaving Nowadays, I've talked to more and more people that, 227 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: which is crazy to me now. Granted I graduate way 228 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: to college in eight I mean, the internet was big then, 229 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: but nowhere near what it is now. A lot of 230 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: these kids don't even go to actual tent like actual classes. 231 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: They take online classes. A ton of athletes never enter 232 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: the actual classroom of a college. I saw was a 233 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: Kanka Nipple, the Duke player that was just drafted, I 234 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: think fourth overall in the NBA draft, said one reason 235 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: that he chose Duke. I think it was concoc nimple. 236 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: It could have been someone else, but I was pretty 237 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: sure talking about Duke, like they actually the kids actually 238 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: went to class, you would actually interact where all these 239 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: other programs. One of their recruiting pitches was like, hey, 240 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: come here for a year or two, we'll pay a 241 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: lot of money before you go to the NBA, and 242 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: you will never actually have to go to a classroom. 243 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: Like that is fucking That wasn't even an option ten 244 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: years ago, let alone twenty years ago. And I do 245 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: think that more and more. And this is where the 246 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: draft was viewed as pretty bad the last couple of years. 247 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: After the first couple of rounds, especially last year, people 248 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: were like, after the fourth round, this thing is doesn't 249 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: feel as deep. Why would any guy on the fence 250 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: not go back to school. It's like, even if I 251 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: hate classes, I don't actually have to go to one. 252 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: And let's face it, you think I'm the guy actually 253 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: logging into the classroom. Of course not. And I'm making 254 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: six seven, eight hundred thousand dollars. Do you know how 255 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: much money that is just in general, let alone being 256 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: and listen, I'm pro these guys making coin. I've said 257 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: this to countless people. I mean, I saw it's one 258 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: thing like Cooper Flagg and reports are all over the place. 259 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: I saw something that he might have made twenty eight 260 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: million dollars his first year or just his nine months 261 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: at Duke, if that is true, Like, I can't even 262 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: imagine going from He didn't as necessarily go from nothing 263 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: because the companies were already trying to buy him. But 264 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: even if he's on retainer for hundreds of thousand dollars, 265 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: going from that to twenty eight million dollars. Again, if 266 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: that's true, let's not even use him. He's a bad examp. 267 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: Let's just use a starting quarterback, some guy in college 268 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: like cam Ward who was making decent money and then 269 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Miami gives him two or three 270 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: million dollars. Like, what could you possibly do with that money? 271 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: You're twenty three, You're just You're going to practice eating, 272 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: hanging out of your teammates the whole time. I don't 273 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: even know. I can't even fathom having that much there. 274 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: But I do know this more and more as these 275 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: kids see these examples of these guys that get drafted 276 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: either in the mid grounds or don't get drafted, and 277 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: basically their career might be over in a year and 278 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: only get fifty thousand, seventy five thousand, and thirty thousand 279 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: signing bonus. It's like I could have just come back 280 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: for one more year of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, 281 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: even if I'm an impressive guy and I'm going to 282 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: have a very lucrative career non football in my life. 283 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what the starting salaries are in most industries, 284 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: but they aren't sniffing seven hundred thousand dollars, So you 285 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: do have to wonder the ramifications moving forward only gonna 286 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: help out and make college football better because better players 287 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: are gonna stay now.

Now granted it was you know, 328 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: you know, Netflix. It wasn't like I had been thinking 329 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: about it. It had kind of popped up on the 330 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: Netflix when we were looking around, you know, right around 331 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: probably I think we had just had dinner, so it 332 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: was early. We had an early dinner on Friday, So 333 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: let's just let's just throw this one. See what it's 334 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: all about. And I didn't make it through the whole thing. 335 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: She uh, let's just say she was the driving force 336 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 1: of like, yeah, let's watch something else after about halfway 337 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: through episode two. And I had two big takeaways from 338 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: the documentary. One somewhat of a troubled soul and listen, 339 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: there are elements to all of us that we all 340 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: have issues. One thing I see a lot from my 341 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: generation is like the trauma we all had it. So, yeah, 342 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: being a parent's hard. Most parents try their hardest. There's 343 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: no handbook to do any of this for the most part, 344 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: like you could find an example in most human beings 345 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: if it's not like specific things, right, I'm just talking 346 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: most people's childhood, like the trauma we had to endure 347 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: of our parents, Like oh my god, it's like, yeah, 348 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: some people just kind of grow out of phases or 349 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: can figure things out for like, yeah, holding on to 350 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: this anger and this chip on my shoulder is something 351 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: that's not going to be that healthy or be able 352 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: to balance it. And there is a chip on Aaron 353 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: rodgers shoulder that you feel and listen only you know, 354 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: just like only I know what it was like to 355 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: grow up in my home, what it was like to 356 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: grow up in his home. And obviously no like laws 357 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: were broken or anything. It's like, yeah, it's like probably disagreed, 358 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: probably agreed with some things your parents force you to 359 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: do as a kid, and like still be harboring this 360 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: energy toward like his childhood. You kind of feel it, 361 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: like watching it, like there's this it's like he's this 362 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: troubled soul who really likes himself some Aaron Rodgers and 363 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: it was like Jesus and I My takeaway watching this 364 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: was like I just have a hard time seeing Tom 365 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: where Peyton kind of act like this, and a huge 366 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: element of it is, you know, part of this was shot. 367 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: It's he's single, no family, no kids, obviously, doesn't talk 368 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: to his family. Just feels like he's kind of a 369 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: lost soul with no family to lean on. And I 370 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: do think as you age, right, as you get older, 371 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: especially if you have the amount of disposable income which 372 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: you have in Aaron Rodgers situation, they have no nothing 373 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: to lean on like family. When you are someone that 374 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: is famous as him. 375 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 2: Is. 376 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: Potentially the only part of your circle that really can 377 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: keep some humility in your life. Obviously, your parents, your 378 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, your wife can say things to you 379 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: critically that no one else is saying. And obviously, once 380 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: you put children in that you are living for someone else. 381 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: There's a bigger purpose to your life. And you're just 382 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: watching Aaron Rodgers, You're like, this guy feels kind of 383 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: like a lost soul, a huge ego, who's just a 384 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: lost soul. Now, the one thing I will defend with 385 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: his parents from his perspective is the thing that happened 386 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: with his brother on The Bachelor when they left the 387 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: open seats, Like that is a complete loser move by 388 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: his parents. Even if you weren't happy with your child 389 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: and you weren't speaking to your child, there would be 390 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: a level of respect you would think. I know, I 391 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: would never do this to my future children. My parents 392 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: would never have done this to me. It's like, yeah, 393 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: we're not doing this, Like we can bring cameras into 394 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: the house for my other son dating this girl, But 395 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: to put those two seats you knew exactly what you're doing. 396 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: That's a loser fucking move. And I don't blame Aaron 397 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: from like double middle fingers now the rest of your life. 398 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what else happened. It just feels like 399 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: there's all this negative energy surrounding his family that's forced 400 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: him into the kind of this weird life that I 401 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: see people on the internet right now or making fun of, 402 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: Like do we got a Manti Tale situation going on? 403 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: He's got a wedding ring, no one's seen his wife, 404 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: He's going on solo walks on the beach. I don't 405 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: recommend Enigma. If you'd never watch it, you're not missing much. 406 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: It's just kind of a the football part's kind of cool, 407 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: like I enjoyed, like Mike McCarthy's a big part of it. 408 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: Some of his former coaches are a big part of it. 409 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: But any part outside of football just feels a little weird. 410 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: And this is what I was saying, like about you know, 411 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: people making fun of them for the ayahuasca, for the 412 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: darkness retreats, Like you get made fun of for doing 413 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: that stuff, Like even if there are positive benefits, you know, 414 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: like listen, I don't journal, but clearly watch a lot 415 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: of successful people that like talk about on Instagram like, 416 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: probably journaling's pretty healthy. If I want on a couple 417 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: of my group chats that I'm on text message with 418 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: from friends from college or friends from the NFL, and 419 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: just started throwing out like here are my thoughts that 420 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: I've journaled over the last week, and they made fun 421 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: of me. I'd only have myself to blame. And I 422 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: just think when you've I mean, he's made hundreds of 423 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: millions of dollars. There's like a Lebron element to this. 424 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: What does he get made fun of all the time. 425 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: It's like Lebron lives in his own little world. Well, 426 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: who in Lebron's camp is gonna tell Lebron? No, who's 427 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: gonna tell Lebron, like, hey, that's kind of sounds stupid. 428 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: I just saw today he opted back into his contract. 429 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: He will have made five hundred and eighty million dollars 430 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: in his NBA career. So when you factor in the 431 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: amount of revenue he's generating for everyone in that little circle, 432 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: this is pretty business booman. And the one thing when 433 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: business is booman, you don't want to fuck with the 434 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: cash cow. So I just watched this enigma, thinking, this 435 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: is a bizarre experience. This is not even uncomfortable, but 436 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: there's an element of kind of sadness. There's an element 437 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: you feel for the guy, obviously the family element, but 438 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: it's like there's just like this egotistical factoring in, like 439 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: this resentment toward others. It's just it's a wild experience, 440 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: which yeah, wouldn't recommend. Other than that, I was thinking today, 441 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: like some of these guys I saw Florio put out 442 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: like a hot seat. Obviously every year we know on 443 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: the low end it's five. On the high end, it 444 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: could be like six or seven guys getting fired. That 445 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: some of these guys that are on summer break right now, 446 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: that have you know, one of the best jobs in 447 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: professional sports. You're the head coach of an NFL team. 448 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Even if you're on the low end, you're making seven 449 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: eight million dollars. Think about Major League Baseball managers. Some 450 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: of these guys make like eight hundred thousand dollars. So 451 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: that's like what a running back coach makes with ten 452 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: years experience in the league. So it's an incredibly highly paid, 453 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: highly public, highly you know, you get a lot of 454 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: a lot of power that comes along with it. It's 455 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: a great gig. It's an intense gig. It's a stressful gig, 456 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: but it's one that not many people get the opportunity 457 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: to ever do. Even in the profession. Some of these 458 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: guys know they're screwed. I was thinking about if you're 459 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: Brian Dable, you head to vacation, you think my career, 460 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: my head coaching career at least is depending on Russell 461 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: Wilson throwing touchdowns. If I'm Shane Steiken and listen, I 462 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: one of the you know surprise predictions last week on 463 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: The Herd was Daniel Jones resurrec's his career what if 464 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't? And if you're Shane Stike and you're thinking 465 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, I was known as a genius. 466 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: I helped save like Nick Sirianni's career because they gave 467 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: me the play calling duties. I helped make Jalen Hurts 468 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: a high end player offensively. I was known as a genius. 469 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: Hell two years ago, I was like, this guy won 470 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: nine games of Gardner mint. You now I'm potentially fighting 471 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: for my job and it's tied to Daniel Jones by 472 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: all reports and everyone in Indie. You could see this 473 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: coming from a mile away. He's going to be the 474 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: starting quarterback in Indianapolis. You can put that in sharpy 475 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: right now. Daniel Jones week one starting. That's who you're 476 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: depending on, man. I mean sometimes when your backs against 477 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: the wall, you just hope to get a lifeline. Right. 478 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: It's like you see some of these situations someone's like 479 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: floating that gets found by a coastguard in the water. 480 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: It's like, well, we had my boat capsize, but we 481 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: had this incredible blow up booie thing that I was 482 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: able to sit on. I had a flair. It wasn't easy, 483 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: but given the circumstance, it's saved my life. I don't 484 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: know if that's a situation here could get really really 485 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: ugly and obviously every year, you know, you have situations 486 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: that you didn't see coming. You know, everyone thinks Mike 487 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: McDaniels in major, major trouble. I think that team is 488 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: just not going to be very good. And I think 489 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,959 Speaker 1: said this forever. You know, it's one of those jobs 490 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: like Brian Daball and Schaansdyke and if they were to 491 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: get fired, would be offensive coordinators immediately. Like look at 492 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, who was he was an embarrassing head coach. 493 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: Your boy picked the Saints last year. Shows you what 494 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: an idiot I am. But he'll never be a head 495 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: coach again. But the moment he's available, like three teams 496 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: are trying to hire him as a defensive coordinator and 497 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: he will be a defensive coordinator until he doesn't want 498 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: to work in the NFL. Well, a defensive coordinator like 499 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, he's making like two and a half three 500 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: four million dollars. He has none of the stress of 501 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: being a head coach. He's not in charge of the personnel. 502 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: All he has to do is coach defense and he's 503 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: making millions of dollars. He's making more than probably I 504 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: don't know of the roster and he's a failure as 505 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: a head coach. So Shane Sike and Brian Dable, these guys, 506 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: even Mike McDaniel, I'm sure would get hired to be 507 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator pretty quickly. Being a head coach pretty lucrative. 508 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: It gives you a lot of fame, gives you a 509 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: lot of money, gives you a lot of power. You 510 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: see at the front of the seat, you sit at 511 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: the front of the table, everyone's looking at you. You 512 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: make the hires. You have a huge influence. Even if 513 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: you're not in control of the draft, you have a 514 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: huge influence on the draft because what GM wants to 515 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: give a player to the head coach that doesn't want 516 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: to coach you, So say, you know, whether the front 517 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: offices in charge or not, you kind of have to 518 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: acquiesce a little bit to whoever your coaches are because 519 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: you want them to like the players. Because they don't 520 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: like the players, they can control that guy's trajectory and 521 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's not playing and does you 522 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: no good. 523 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: Blending Vice's signature dynamic storytelling with the high out team 524 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: world of sports, Vice Sports brings an exciting and diverse 525 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: range of programming that goes beyond the game, from action 526 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: pack live events to gripping behind the scenes documentaries to 527 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: hard hitting investigative pieces and in depth profiles of athletes, coaches, teams. 528 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 2: Vice Sports captures the raw energy, drama, and passion that 529 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: makes sports truly unforgettable.

You guys know the drill is your time 538 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: to shine in the offseason. This from Kevin Good question. 539 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: Did you see Big Bens take that he would take 540 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: Prime Rogers over Prime Mahomes? What are your thoughts? You 541 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: know what's funny is on my YouTube like I don't 542 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: even know page homepage, Roethlisberger podcast where he's I don't 543 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: know who his buddy is, young kid. It looks like 544 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: popped up today and I watched for a minute. It 545 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: was like Ben talking about his vacation. But I didn't 546 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: hear him say that. I saw the headline. Listen, you 547 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: could and this is what I noticed in Enigma. You 548 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: could make the argument, in the peak of his powers, 549 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm talking regular season, is as good of a quarterback 550 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: that has ever played. I mean, Aaron was a total package. 551 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: He was smart, he was athletic, He had a huge arm, 552 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: He could make throws from the pocket, he could scramble 553 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: and make throws on the run, meaning he was a playmaker, 554 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: and he was incredibly accurate, and he could play in 555 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: all weather types like he was as good of an 556 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 1: individual player in the regular season that's ever played. Now, 557 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: I think if you wanted a nitpick early on the defense, 558 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: let him down. I do think he let them in 559 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: him down a little bit as he got older. But 560 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: this isn't like, yeah, I would take I think there's 561 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: something special about what Mahomes brings to the table. But like, listen, 562 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: you could argue like anything you wanted in sports, right 563 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: you go, Rogers, Well, you know hit Mike McCarthy was 564 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: as head coach. Don Capers was his defensive coordinator. You 565 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: put twenty six year old Aaron Rodgers with Andy freaking 566 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: Reid and Steve Spagnola and let like that operation, who 567 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: do you like you go? I think it's a fair argument. 568 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: Would Aaron Rodgers just have one super Bowl if in 569 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: the prime of his career, from like ten to fifteen, 570 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: he was on this Chiefs team? Now, would he have 571 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: gone to five to six super Bowls or five of 572 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: six Super Bowls? Yeah? I think you could make the 573 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: argument that you would rather have Mahomes in some of 574 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: these situations. Though Mahomes played a little like Rogers in 575 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 1: some of these big games, right, just don't make a mistake, 576 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: play smart, and his defense got the job done. Now, 577 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: Like listen, I would take Mahomes after watching Enigma. I 578 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: think there's some element of Mahomes that just resonates with 579 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: human beings more than Rogers. But I don't think it's 580 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: the craziest stake. I really don't. I think if you 581 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: put in his prime Aaron Rodgers and you give him 582 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: to Belichick in two thousand and one, or you give 583 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: him to Bill Walsh in nineteen eighty three, like I 584 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: think you're winning a lot of Super Bowls as well. 585 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: But that's not how we play the game, like I 586 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: don't think it's absurd of a take. Is like when 587 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: Darryl Morey used to call James Harden a better offensive 588 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: player than Michael Jordan. It's like, Daryl, you lost us, 589 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: like you lost the argument. And I also understand from 590 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: Big Ben's perspective. Plus, listen, we talked about Brady with 591 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: the bias for Sam Darnold. There's an element here off 592 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: like Ben played against Rogers, so how fucking good he was. 593 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm Big Ben, I'm going to the Hall 594 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: of Fame. I'm one of the best quarter back to 595 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: my generation. And this guy's way better than me. And 596 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: I've won two Super Bowls. I'm not a better player 597 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: in this guy. So I get it when you see 598 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: something like you're not gonna convince me there's anyone better 599 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: at sports talk and what they do than Coward. Why 600 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: I've got a front row seat. I saw it last week. 601 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: I've listened forever, I've podcasted with them, and then I 602 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: saw him work live on television. I'm like, that's that's 603 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: as good as it gets. It's crazy how talented this 604 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: guy is. And you know, I think part of any 605 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: of our experiences are just what we see right, and 606 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: I think there's an element of that with Ben with Aaron. 607 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: You forgot Jalen Hurts in your top ten on your 608 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,719 Speaker 1: last pot. Please tell me that's the name you're missing, 609 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts the top ten quarterback. I would agree. Sometimes 610 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: we're doing this stuff on the fly. H Okay, this 611 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: from Matt. My twin brother and I are having a 612 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: debate on who will be the better team this upcoming season, 613 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: the Broncos or the Raiders. With Peyton bow second year 614 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: in the system, with a better run game and elite defense, 615 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: I think the Broncos are sneaky good and could win 616 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: a playoff game or two. My twin thinks the Raiders 617 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: win a playoff game. That there's no way the Broncos 618 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: at one of the best defense in the league. They 619 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: led the league in sacks. Their offense is gonna be better. 620 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: Their quarterback through twenty nine touchdowns last year. They already 621 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: have an established culture operation. Pete Carroll's never coached these guys. 622 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: Even if they vastly improve, there's no way you could 623 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: objectively pick the Raiders going into this season over the Broncos. Now, 624 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: if you're a Raider fan, I totally get it, but like, 625 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: based on all the evidence we have the roster, you 626 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: would have to take the Broncos, so I would. I 627 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: think it's not inconceivable that the Broncos or the Chargers 628 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: win the division, right, I mean, are the Chiefs gonna 629 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: win it fifteen straight years? They're gonna have one of 630 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: these years where just they win eleven games and someone 631 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: in their division wins thirteen. This might be it. Two questions. 632 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: My partner and I are looking to plan a golf 633 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: spa trip. Do you have any recommendations in Scottsdale? Furthermore, 634 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: how do you see the Jets doing this year? I 635 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: would say two hotels that jump out to me that 636 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: also have golf courses would be the Desert Ridge Hotel. 637 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: It's in North Scottsdale. I stayed there years ago when 638 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: I was kind of looking at trying to buy property here. 639 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: I came out here for like ten days where I 640 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: met my future wife. It's sitting, especially if you have kids. 641 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: It's got like a lazy river. It's it's a cool hotel. 642 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: I think they got twenty seven holes of golf behind it. 643 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas nick Valdo developed it. It's a cool property, 644 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: and then the Phoenician, same type thing. I would imagine both. 645 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: I'm not a big I'm not a big spot d 646 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: A guy. I mean I like a good steam room 647 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: in a sauna, but I've never got a spat Da here. 648 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: But I would imagine both. Have you know the infrastructure 649 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: there for spot A you have to check, but I'd 650 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: say Desert Ridge or the Phoenician. Also, just like I 651 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: said golf, the Jets, I think they're not going to 652 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,439 Speaker 1: be very good if I had to bet, like more 653 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 1: than likely they're selling off some of their parts by 654 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and this is a reset. You know, 655 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: it'll be fascinating. You know, Breis Hall has already been 656 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: on the trading block. I think the sauce thing is 657 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: pretty fascinating. I had a scout in the league that 658 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: told me, not even a scout, I mean he's like 659 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: an assistant GM that said, listen, those first two years 660 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: they let sauce, they weren't calling pis. He got to 661 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: be as physical as he wanted, and when he's tall, 662 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: long corner, he could fucking maul you. Last year, what 663 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: happened they started throwing the flag. Sauce is not a 664 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: four to three. He's not Derek Stingley. So if they 665 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: don't let him maul you at the line, like, he's 666 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: not just going to be able to mirror you in 667 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: the hip pocket. So it's going to be fascinating, you know. 668 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: You know, his first two years like all pro So 669 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: if you're sauce like thinking, give me one hundred million dollars, 670 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: and if you're the Jets, I could not do that. 671 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: I'd have to let it play out a little bit. 672 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: And then if it plays out and not the right 673 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: way and you're not going to give him an extension, 674 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: you know, what's his market? He does fit some specific 675 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: type defenses. You know, I don't know. He's going to 676 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: be a fascinating case study. I think the Jets are 677 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: just not gonna be good, and not because you know, 678 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn's impressive guy, but fields your starting quarterback. A 679 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: lot of just unknown, you know, with just how last 680 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: year went, how these guys are going to bounce back 681 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: or I don't know. I don't have high hopes for 682 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: the kind of the squad. I was listening to the 683 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: New Heights podcast a few days ago where Jason Kelsey 684 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: started comparing the Chiefs rookie Josh Simmons physically to players 685 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: like Jason Peters and Trent Williams. However, do you think 686 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: he truly will be able to be an above average 687 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: left tackle for the Chiefs like Eric Fisher Or do 688 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: you think the Chiefs a line will be good without 689 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: a player like Joe Touty. I didn't listen to the podcast, 690 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: but I obviously, you know, do this for a living. 691 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: I saw the headlines of Jason. One thing's pretty clear 692 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: is Jason I don't know what is you know, if 693 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: he has an official title, but like he watched his 694 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: offensive lineman for Howie and he likes doing it, and 695 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: I would imagine how he's like this guy could be 696 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: there when we draft right because of the injury. And 697 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles probably were interested anytime a guy 698 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: like I mean, look, they took John Campbell, who also 699 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: liked Josh Simmons. The only reason he was there because 700 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: the injury. Josh Simmons, before he got injured, was going 701 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: in the top ten. Now when you compare, you know, 702 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: Jason Peters was a tight end in college. Trent Williams 703 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: went fourth overall. I think both those guys share two 704 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: characteristics of physically there aren't many human beings like either one. 705 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: You know, both guys could be three hundred and fifty 706 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: pounds and they still move around as a foot athlete 707 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: like they're a linebacker. They are elite athletes. They are 708 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: just in this body type that. I mean, a small 709 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: small percentage of human beings are on the planet that 710 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: have six' five the girth to be three hundred and 711 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: forty three hundred fifty pounds and then athletically move like. 712 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: That but both, guys when they're right physically in their, 713 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: Primes trent will see if he's still in. It Obviously 714 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: jason's prime ended years ago or. NONE i, mean they 715 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: were as good as it gets at left. Tackle you. 716 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: Know Josh, SIMMONS i THINK i think the scary thing 717 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: for him would be, that what didn't he tear his? Potella? What, 718 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: yeah that's. Now, listen my dad taurrest potella WHEN i 719 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: was in junior high MAYBE i was in elementary. School 720 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: it would have been mid to late. Nineties there's a 721 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: man in his, fifties So i'm not comparing him to an, 722 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: athlete but it's a very very serious. Injury it's not 723 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: an acl it's not Even achilles it's not Like Tommy 724 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: John like it's some injuries like, that you're never quite the. 725 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: Same AND i think it shows you because most people 726 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: would agree him coming out even more Than Will. Campbell 727 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: this guy physically had the highest. Upside like if anyone 728 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be just a seven Time pro bowler at left, 729 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: tackle it was gonna be this. Guy if he had 730 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: torn HIS, acl not torn his, patella there's no way 731 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: he makes it to The. Chiefs none would never have 732 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: made it that. Far he would have gone probably still 733 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: in the top. Fifteen even if someone's, Like i'm red cheering, 734 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: him it's worth. It but you, know the paateella thing is. 735 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: Scary my dad's kned never was the. Same, honestly when 736 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: he got into his mid to late six he should 737 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: have got a knee. Replacement this guy's how Old's Josh. 738 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: Simmons he's twenty two years, old SO i, mean, obviously 739 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: you know your body recovers. Differently if everything's fine and 740 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: he just comes out of it like a player That 741 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: terris acl breaks the, leg, whatever The chiefs are going 742 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: to have one of the best players in the draft for, 743 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: sure because, physically like this guy was At Ohio state 744 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: for a. Reason it was a big deal when he got. 745 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: INJURED i always like to look at, like you, know 746 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: blue chip guys like, this if you just go To 747 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: Josh simmons', rivals like if you just go to his 748 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: uh what he was like coming out of high.

Dude Rogan ank 817 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: like their whole operation is really really high. Level but 818 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: it still is in terms of. One anytime you get 819 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: pay per, view you have a barrier to entry where 820 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: these other sports are just they're not technically, free right 821 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: because cable box or. Whatever but for the most, part 822 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: like it's it's easy to watch AN nba playoff game 823 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: or AN nfl game or a college football. Game it 824 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 1: is a little more challenging to watch. That AND i 825 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 1: Think Caitlin clark's a good. Example she became a story 826 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: on the main networks before everyone was watching, her but 827 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: then it drove people to. Watch but, like you'd have 828 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: to be pretty passionate to do that and hope that people. 829 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: WOULD a huge part of these television shows is, ratings 830 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: so you do things that you know will. Work so 831 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: Like colin knows that if me and him and he 832 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: was really cool, Too like he did a couple of 833 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: segments where it was a back and forth with. Me 834 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: he didn't have to do, that and we, CHOSE i 835 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: mean he, chose but like you want to do HIS nfl, Segments, like, 836 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: yeah he knows it's gonna. Work you, know IF i 837 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 1: was a former baseball, scout we wouldn't do like my 838 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: five favorite players In Major League, baseball, right we wouldn't do. 839 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: That And fox has Some Major league. Baseball SO i 840 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: think it's a long winded way of saying. ONE i 841 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: think it's still in a weird, way not that, mainstream 842 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: even though it's a very lucrative operation now And Dana 843 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: white's really famous and some of you. KNOW i do 844 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: think If connor was still, involved like you, CAN i 845 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: do golf on this medium one BECAUSE i love, IT 846 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: i follow. IT i, mean Today i'm Watching Max grazerman 847 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: go at it with this dude From South africa And 848 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 1: Jake napp and live on the other. Television but that's not. 849 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: Normal AND i know that WHEN i do go low 850 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: tomorrow that most people probably haven't watched The Rocket Mortgage. 851 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: TOURNAMENT i don't blame you wouldn't watch it either IF 852 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: i had something else to, do so you know. That 853 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: it's a little like that WITH. Ufc but If Tiger 854 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: woods had just played in The Rocket mortgage and won 855 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: The Rocket, mortgage you could talk about it and people 856 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: would follow, along just like If connor McGregor were still 857 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: fighting like someone that, famous you could talk about it 858 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 1: and people would fall. Along it's, why like When Jake 859 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: paul fought if he wanted to Fight Mike, tyson like 860 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,399 Speaker 1: people kind of pay attention in a sport like, that 861 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: the individual. Firepower you need a superstar to. Breakthrough AND 862 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: i don't even know If chuck was quite that he 863 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 1: was close and then they've had you, KNOW i would 864 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 1: Say connor's AND i think Even dana, said, right he's 865 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: the most important fighters it's ever come along in terms 866 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 1: of mainstream popularity and. Fame like golf was around well 867 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: Before Tiger wood showed. Up he changed the sport in 868 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 1: terms OF i love country. Music Without Garth, brooks country 869 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,799 Speaker 1: music doesn't become as mainstream as it became the last 870 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: twenty five. Years change the fucking game for. Everybody open 871 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: the floodgates for guys Like tim, McGraw Kenny, Jesney Jason, 872 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: Eldan Luke bryan to become worth hundreds of millions of. 873 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 1: Dollars before, that it was kind of like redneck honky, 874 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: tonk you, know VERY i would, say a little niche, 875 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 1: music and it no longer. Is you could argue now 876 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: it's the most popular music. Going and a big reason 877 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 1: for that happened WHEN i was a kid With Garth 878 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: brooks in the. Nineties that broke through that whether you 879 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: like country music or you didn't like country, music you 880 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: Followed Garth, brooks AND i think individual sports have elements of. 881 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: That Tiger woods was THAT i would imagine back in 882 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: like the fifties and Say Arnold palmer was like. That 883 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 1: we've seen that in, tennis like you, Know Pete sampras 884 00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: was way better Than Andre. Agassy Andre agassy was the 885 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: more important player in terms of like commercial. Thing SO 886 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: i don't know IF i specifically BECAUSE i don't know 887 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: if there's a specific, Answer LIKE i Think colin could 888 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: probably answer that question like, no it just doesn't. WORK 889 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: i also think you're talking to an audience of, LIKE 890 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: i don't know how many people buy the pay per 891 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: view BECAUSE i love. Sports it's like the majority of 892 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: things THAT i. WATCH i don't order the pay per. 893 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: Views AND i like. FIGHTING i like watching people get 894 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:58,799 Speaker 1: their ass, kids, though there was something one of the 895 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: guys that got. KOed he got knocked. Out dude hit 896 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: him right across the. Face he's out as he hits the. 897 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,359 Speaker 1: GROUND i bet his head hits the canvas also knocks him. 898 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 1: Out he is. OUT i, mean it's it's clear the 899 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 1: guy's done. This dude jumps on, him hammer punches his 900 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: face before the ref could get. THERE i like. VIOLENCE 901 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: i am pro violence felt a little. UNNECESSARY i, was 902 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: Like jesus felt uncomfortable watching in a good, way but 903 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: it was had. Hurt, Okay, Hey, JOHN i think your 904 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: criticisms of The dolphins are reasonable considering they're coming off 905 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 1: an eight nine. Season, however TO a led the league 906 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: in a completion percentage seventy two percent last. YEAR i 907 00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 1: also think they had a pretty good. Draft if THEIR 908 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 1: o line is even, AVERAGE i think they will go 909 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: back to their twenty three. Form they also were missing 910 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: seven starters last. Year ramsey can get them a trade, 911 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,040 Speaker 1: package can, he, though because if he, could he'd be. 912 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: GONE i don't know If jalen get you a trade. 913 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: Package maybe we're all just overlooking a scenario where they 914 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: actually are decent the. Years my guess is nine to. Eight, 915 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: YEAH i Just i'm betting on them to. SUCK i. 916 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: Am i'm with.

Unfair 979 00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 1: he is a better player objectively Than Geno, Smith like 980 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,800 Speaker 1: Even gino's good, games like you, know a lot of 981 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 1: bad games and big Moments gino. Solid like to, Me 982 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 1: gino is your, classic like somewhere between thirteen and, seventeen 983 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: and over the course of the year has good and, 984 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: bad but like serious, limitations but mix up for it with. 985 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 1: Leadership he's got a big, arm so he can make 986 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,320 Speaker 1: some big. Plays but like you never Watched gino like 987 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 1: it's a top seven. Quarterback like you Have baker games 988 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 1: that are like is this one of the best players 989 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,439 Speaker 1: in the. League and him And sam were on the same, 990 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: team now both of them different world to, Go baker 991 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: beat him.

Division you Got, bryce you Got, 1016 00:55:55,560 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 1: penix and some times The. South you know what's, Crazy 1017 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: it happens to me every time you Got, tampa you 1018 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 1: Have New, orleans you Have carolina And.

Bryce and there's 1020 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 1: a Chance tampa wins that division by a couple of. 1021 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 1: Games what If atlanta doesn't, win like goes like eight 1022 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 1: to nine or seven and, ten Is Arthur blank going 1023 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,840 Speaker 1: to fire? Everybody that thing could get, weird and that 1024 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,800 Speaker 1: thing can get weird. Fast But i'm with. YOU i 1025 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: Think baker has established himself as as you, know one 1026 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 1: of the big guns definitely in the in THE. Nfc 1027 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,240 Speaker 1: and that's how Many you're only playing FOUR afc? Games, 1028 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: WELL i guess it flip. Flops maybe you're playing five this. 1029 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,799 Speaker 1: Year but let's just let's just end with. This let's 1030 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: just pull Up tampa. Schedule who they win ten and 1031 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 1: seven last, year so they opened with The, falcons like 1032 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,359 Speaker 1: them to win that game at The, Texans, Jets eagles At, 1033 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks niners At, lions At, Saints patriots At, bills At rams. Schedules, 1034 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 1: actually they got some tough games because they play THE Nfc. 1035 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: West if they could just kind of be around five, 1036 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 1: hundred the last six to seven games get kind of. Easy, Cardinals, Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Dolphins. 1037 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: Panthers so if they can be around like six and, 1038 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: six five and, five they got a stretch here where 1039 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: they could take advantage of. It but they got they 1040 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: got some tough. Games early At houston's not an easy. 1041 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 1: Game That's monday night. Football looks like it might be 1042 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,959 Speaker 1: A monday night football. Doubleheader get The eagles at, home 1043 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 1: have heat on their side At, seattle that's not. Easy 1044 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 1: then you gotta fly all the way home to play 1045 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: The niners the next. Week then you gotta go At, 1046 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: detroit which is A monday night. Game that's a Good 1047 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 1: monday night football. Game to, me where they really got 1048 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 1: to take advantage of is they just got to dominate 1049 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: within their. Division AND i don't see why they, Won't 1050 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 1: LIKE i would, say what they do last year in the, 1051 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: division they went four and. TWO i, MEAN i think 1052 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: if they go four and two, again they're probably maybe 1053 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 1: they're a nine win team this. Year but if they 1054 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,320 Speaker 1: go five and, ONE i, MEAN i don't see how 1055 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 1: they wouldn't, be you, know a ten win. Team the 1056 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,160 Speaker 1: volume
