1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing? 2 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I got a migraine that 3 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: I don't get very often, but I was basically bedridden 4 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: all afternoon on Wednesday and I was unable to do 5 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: the podcast. So I was like, you know what, we 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: had a little less content this week. Let's put out 7 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: a weekend mail bag at John middlecoff is the Instagram 8 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: at John middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms. 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little weekend mailbag. So I rattled 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: off about probably about thirty minutes worth of worth of stuff, 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: and that will be the game plan today.

I'm gonna try to go rapid fire. 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: So this is not gonna be too long. If the 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Bill Sunday, is it on the board? 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: They win out the rest of the season. I know 34 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: the Colts are good and the Broncos are ahead of 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: us in the standings, but I feel like bo Nick 36 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: is gonna let them down once December and January come around. 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: Also of the podcast, watch it every day. I appreciate you. 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: I would say winning out like it's the NFL. Are 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: they gonna win out and go fourteen and three? That 40 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: seems a little little unrealistic because in the NFL, like 41 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: I would say, they lose one of those Broncos games, 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: which would probably be the one in Arrowhead, which is 43 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: very understandable. You can have an excellent you can go 44 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: twelve and five and lose a couple of division games. 45 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: You know, division games are really hard. I guess the 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs have already lost the Chargers. They're not going to 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: lose the Raiders, but I could see them split in 48 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: the division, so I could see them losing one of 49 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: the Broncos games. Yeah. To me, the Chiefs feel like 50 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: twelve and five now. They got it rolling and they 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: have a higher ceiling than I think they've had in 52 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: years because the offense is much better, even though they've 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: been going to the playoffs. Big Ravens fan here love 54 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: the show. Keep it up. I just need to understand something. 55 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: How is the media saying Drake May is the new 56 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Patriots? Uh? And the Patriots are 57 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: back when they clearly see their schedule has been a joke. 58 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: I know they beat the Bills, but that was one game. 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: Do you actually think they could be better that he 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: could be better than Alan? Uh? No? I mean, Josh 61 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: is one of the more dominant players we've seen in 62 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: the NFL in a long time. Uh. But you know, 63 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: sometimes I think we're very hesitant. You use Rock Purdy 64 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: as an example. He became a really good player, but 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: he was a seventh round pick, so you had to 66 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: like fight to get your respect. Jordan Love, same thing, right, 67 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Dak Prescott Forever. Russell Wilson took him 68 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: years for people to be like, oh, yeah, he's really good. 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: When you're it's the opposite. When you're drafted really high. 70 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: It's like one good pass from Kayleb Williams, Oh he's 71 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: the next great thing. It's like, let's see if he 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: can play the position. When you're drafted high and you 73 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: start making plays, we annoint you pretty quickly. Now he's 74 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: having an excellent year. Now, i'd get they're playing bad teams. 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't exactly have you know, Gronkowski and Edelman running around. 76 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: I would say his weapons aren't great. But there was 77 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: a lot of hype on this kid. I mean, once 78 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: upon a time, Nick Saban offered him five million dollars 79 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: to be their quarterback. Think about that, and it wouldn't 80 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: have been wrong. I remember it was a big deal. 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: When he's like, yeah, I chose to say it. North Carolina, 82 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: and he's got a chance to be really really good. 83 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: Unless you're Ryan Poles, you thought he sucks again. I'm 84 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: not making that up. He said that in the draft meeting. 85 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Do teams have in house financial advisors to help rookies 86 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: make responsible financial decisions. It seems common for young athletes 87 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: to blow through millions of dollars without considering that what 88 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: they won't earn that the salary for the rest of 89 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: their lives. I think teams, it probably varies a little 90 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: team to team. I mean most teams have some sort 91 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: of developmental guy, typically former player, like high level guy. 92 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: I would say, like, this is gonna sound a little 93 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: cold hearted, but that's not necessarily the NFL's problem, right, 94 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they can hold your hand, but eventually, like 95 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: you got to make the decisions. I would put the 96 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: onus more on the agent, right, I'm paying you so 97 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: you figure it out now. Ultimately I will help you out, 98 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, provide things like real estate agents, help you 99 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: get a lay of the land, obviously, help you around 100 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: land other business deals when you're a good player with 101 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: our partners. But am I worried about what you do 102 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: with that money? As long as it's legal no, not really. 103 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: So if you want to buy five Lamborghinis or invest 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,559 Speaker 1: it all into one of middle cuff stocks, that's ripping. 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: That's kind of your decision. That to me should be 106 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: the number one push for an agent is, hey, I 107 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: got multiple financial advisors who are here to support you. 108 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: I'm CIA, i am David Mulgedta, I'm whoever. I have 109 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: this infrastructure here to take care of you. The team's 110 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: just the one paying you, and they're the ones that 111 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna get the money from. So I not saying 112 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: the teams don't care, but like that's not really theirs, 113 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: the least of their worries. If you are financially stable 114 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: when you're forty years old, the agent who you were 115 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: literally paying should be all over that to help you out. 116 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: That's that would be my thought. I also think the 117 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: reality I've never been super rich when I was, you know, 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: multi millionaire of twenty three years old. But you're just 119 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: wore men. We're gonna make them decisions. We're gonna buy 120 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: dumb shit. I probably buy dumb things. You buy dumb 121 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: things that if we were the other person would be like, wait, 122 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: you're spending money on that. It's part of life. A 123 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: big Listener mail back question, what do you think the 124 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: Vikings will do with Kevin O'Connell. Obviously, he recently signed 125 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: an extension, but numerous reports saying he's losing a locker 126 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: room over how he handled the WinCE injury and how 127 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: they've been babying AJ McCarthy. Vikings haven't won a playoff 128 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: game since twenty nineteen, which was before O'Connell was hired. 129 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: I believe, not saying it's all on him, but this 130 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: is a results based business. I haven't been deep on 131 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings reddit boards or their local podcasts or radio 132 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: shows to hear that I have not seen anything. I'll 133 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: take your word at it. There have been in listen. 134 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: This is part of football when things get ugly. Losing 135 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: the locker room, I mean, I think a lot of 136 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: people are wondering, and rightfully so. Like the JJ McCarthy 137 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 1: thing seems a little sketchy. It's like he rolls ankle. 138 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: Do he heard his hamstring? What the fuck's is injury? 139 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: He's healthy enough where you can put him in pads 140 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: on game day if there's an emergency, but you can't 141 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: start him. The whole situation has been red flagged. And 142 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: when you start babing a player on a good team, 143 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: I know they're technically not good right now, but a 144 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: team that is guys have won and knows what, but 145 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: winning a lot of games look like it can start resentment, 146 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: and I think he's got to be very careful about it. 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: The best coaches will pivot off. Okay, you like this 148 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: guy two years ago in the draft, well three years 149 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: later and he can't play, And if that's the case, 150 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: then he can't play, then you gotta pivot. And if 151 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: you do pivot, players will respect you. I saw Kyle 152 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: Shanahan pivots so fast your head would spend. He wanted 153 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: to like him. Turns out he wasn't good and they pivoted. 154 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Now part of pivoting is you got to have another option. 155 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: But so it's like he had purity to turn to. 156 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: But you could not let a misdraft pick on a 157 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: quarterback sink the ship because if you do, everyone will 158 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: be fired. Now, Kevin O'Connell now is really rich signing 159 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: the extension. He's probably making my guess would be twelve 160 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: thirteen to fourteen million dollars a year. But so it's 161 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, whether he's fired or not. Like, 162 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: it's not like it's gonna change the course of his 163 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: just life with his family, Like they're set for life. 164 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what you call generational wealth. It's funny, 165 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: you know on the internet sometimes generational wealth. Well, it's 166 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: like you got to earn seven hundred million dollars Like No, 167 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you guys are a little inflated 168 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: on some of your numbers. So I think Kevin O'Connell 169 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: is going to be under a lot of pressure if 170 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: this year keeps going south. What are we doing next year? 171 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: And a were we gonna have a loyalty to this guy 172 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: if he does not play well, because if you do, 173 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: then this thing's gonna get really ugly, really fast. If 174 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: he will be like the guy that drafted him once 175 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: upon a time. Listen, you can talk a lot of 176 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: shit about Belichick, not the greatest drafter, especially down the 177 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: stretch these last four or five years, but he would 178 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: make cold blooded decisions, and this is a cold blooded league. 179 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: You get too emotional about players. I mean, Andy retraded 180 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in the peak of his powers. See audios 181 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: will go a different direction. You've got to be willing 182 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: to do that shit, and if you're not, you will 183 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: lose your locker room in games. So I just something 184 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. This year, he'll get a 185 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: little bit of a pass rightfully, so they the quarterback situation, 186 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: which might have been his doing. But regardless it happens, 187 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: how are they gonna pivot next year? I want to 188 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: hear your preference on your favorite commentators. Would love to 189 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: hear your thoughts for football and other sports. Personally, I'm 190 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: a big collins Worth guy. I look for a couple 191 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: of things. One, I like Chris because he enjoys football 192 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: and you could feel his excitement. Some people might say 193 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: he's a little cheesy, a little over the top, Like 194 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: I admire that. My go to type commentator would be 195 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: like Aikman when he's kind of on edge talking some shit, 196 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: Like that's kind of what I like. You know, maybe 197 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: I lean a little more negative, like I have nothing 198 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: against Tony Romo and every once in a while when 199 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: I have you know, now, with these four boxes, sometimes 200 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: you're not always listening to the top game, but when 201 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: you listen to Romo and Nance, like NaN's a big 202 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: part of my life. I watch a lot of PGA 203 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Tour golf. So I've spent a lot of hours over 204 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: the last twenty years watching Jim nance So I like 205 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: hanging out with Jim Lance Jim Nantz. I do think 206 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: the Romo thing is just can be a little over 207 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: the top of times, but I also watch it like 208 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: it's an easy hang, whether it's cheesy or not. And 209 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, collins Worth is better than Romo, 210 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: but I think those are easy. I think a lot 211 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: of like the second and third tier broadcast can be 212 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: really horrendous. I mean, I'm not gonna name names, but 213 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: if you just start getting anyone that has a team 214 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: that's not very good, when you're watching the lower rung 215 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: like fifth games from CBS or Fox, You're like, oh 216 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: my god, this is pretty bad. Uh. So I would 217 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: say I would say Aikman's my favorite. I was watching 218 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: the World Series. It might have been the Gummy I 219 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: was on, but I was thinking John Smoltz is good. 220 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: I saw Daniel Jeremiah tweet this out maybe like a 221 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, just saying how impressed he was 222 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: like John Smoltz's knowledge of baseball. I was like, God, 223 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: this guy, if he was a football announ He'd be 224 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: heralded as the top guy for sure. I mean, the 225 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: guy knows baseball, like the intricacies of the different moments 226 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: and what you should do, what you shouldn't do. It's 227 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: like for a guy that plays golf seven days a week. 228 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: This guy's dialed. I think he's I think he's excellent. 229 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: Trying to think basketball. I always liked Van Gundy, not 230 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: stand Jeff who's fired who got fired from TV and 231 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: is now I think the Clippers assistant coach. But I 232 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: was a big Jeff fan. Gundy guy, Uh yeah, I 233 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: would say that's my list is relatively short of people 234 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: I would quote unquote good. I'm also like most most 235 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: of you probably, I've watched so many games that I 236 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: get numbed to a lot of the commenters. I don't 237 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: even really pay attention. If anything, I'm just listening for 238 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: nuggets that I can use in the podcast, like stats 239 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: they might spit out. I actually like the college game. Yeah, 240 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: I think I think Herbstreet's really good. Jay Billis has 241 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: been good for a long time. I think Clatt's good. 242 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: I like Yeah, I like actually a lot of the 243 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: college quarterbacks. McElroy definitely like Jesse Palmer, I'll always enjoy 244 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: I feel like I've watched a lot of Jesse Palmer games. 245 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: I feel like college has better ones than the NFL. Yeah, 246 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: I feel actually pretty confident. I feel like college has 247 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: better broadcast than the NFL. Not in terms of like 248 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: maybe the graphics or whatever. I'm just mean actual people 249 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: in the chair. They just feel a little and maybe 250 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: there's a little less pressure so they can just be normal. 251 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I have to do a 252 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: research project on that. How can you take sports gambling seriously? 253 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: After the new NBA scandal came out, The NFL has 254 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: so many miscalls and so many questionable penalties on a 255 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: weekly basis. Plus what happens one week means nothing the 256 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: next week. It's called gambling. The difference between basketball and football, 257 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot about this is there's always 258 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: been a human element with the referees. The broadcasts are 259 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: so good with the cameras. Now that we see a 260 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: lot of these things like historically, when a ball hit 261 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: two people diving for it, it was clear who the 262 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: ball went out of went out on right in basketball, 263 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: for example, forever in the NBA, in college, in high 264 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: school pick up basketball. Now at the slow mold replays 265 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: like I went off the tip of the singer, we 266 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: just know more information. It's impossible to rig NFL games now. 267 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: Like you said, an official can miss a call, It's 268 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: hard to be an official now. I've always said, like, 269 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: if you missed serious calls, you should be fired. They 270 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: never are. And maybe you can say, well, John, they're 271 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: in on it. I would say, yeah. Part of not 272 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: knowing what's gonna happen week to week is what makes 273 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: the game so interesting to gamble on. Where in basketball, 274 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: like you know the bad teams, like they're gonna get 275 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: rounded week in, week out, And Chauncey Billips was literally 276 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: throwing games. I heard someone say this the other day, like, 277 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: isn't it crazy that we thought it was a bigger 278 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: deal for Chauncey Billups to screw over people in a 279 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: poker game than it was for him to tell someone 280 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to manipulate the outcome of this NBA game. 281 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: That was the bigger headline tells you everything you need 282 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: to know. I think the NBA is easier to rig. 283 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: I think it's harder to rig in the NFL. I 284 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: also think it would have come out. I think it's 285 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: just too big, too much money. People would have talked, 286 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: maybe I'm naive lifelong Browns fan. And we have two 287 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: first round picks, we are expected to pair them and 288 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: take a quarterback. But with our O line literally having 289 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: nobody coming back and no wide receivers, Judy is a 290 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: two at best. You almost can't evaluate a quarterback. Dylan 291 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: is short and looks blah. If Sanders plays for us, 292 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: he has no chance. Stefanski has a bad track record. 293 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: Watson looked terrible, but how much do you blame him 294 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: or the organization? He didn't want to play for us, 295 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: but he took the bag like Miles. My thoughts is 296 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: that Watson when he comes back, might be our best 297 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: quarterback and we need to draft an OT, a wide 298 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: receiver and an OT. If we bring a rookie quarterback 299 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: into this mess, he will just look awful. Do you 300 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: think this puts? Uh? Do you think put best hope? 301 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: The team's best hope is to build a team around 302 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: Watson and start him next year. You can never start 303 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson again. Uh, that that ship hasn't just sailed. 304 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: You could never roll him out his his career with 305 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns is done. You just you can never 306 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: do that to the fans. Uh. I do think I'm 307 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: with you, you know, And I've been saying this for 308 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: a while. In Stefanski. It's like, everyone tells me how 309 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: great of a coach he is, but I watched him 310 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: do with these off these backup random quarterbacks, and the 311 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: offense looks worse and worse by the week. Now you 312 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: can say, well, is offensive line is terrible. I've seen 313 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: a lot of teams with bad teams figure out ways 314 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: to manipulate points. I do think the organization is fed up. 315 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the owner's nuts. They were given the out 316 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: with Miles Garrett. He said, trade me. He's thirty years old. 317 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: You could trade him for like two ones and two 318 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: twos and reset your franchise. And they refuse to do it. 319 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: And I just have a hard time believing the GM 320 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't have traded them. But I don't know. I do 321 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: confidently believe that Watson will never play for you again, 322 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: and you can't, can't. You can't play them anymore. I'm 323 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: a lifelong Buckeye fan, born and raised in Columbus, and 324 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: have been intending games with my dad since I was four. 325 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: As you stated, you are a lifelong Ohio State hater. Well, 326 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: I certainly can understand and have run into many with 327 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: similar feelings. I am curious what do people truly hate 328 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: about Ohio State. I'm in the cult through and through, 329 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: so I can't quite see the forest or the trees. Well, 330 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: I think typically people like don't hate Minnesota football, Jaguar football, 331 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks, right the Chicago White Sox. Who do 332 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: people typically hate? The Yankees, the Dodgers, the Chiefs right now, 333 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots forever Duke basketball. Part of what makes sports 334 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: fun is like, I don't have any tangible reason to 335 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: hate Ohio State. I kind of do, I guess with 336 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: the Lakers as a kid, But you know, it's like 337 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings, who I was a fan of at 338 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: the time, have been the worst run franchise probably in 339 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: all of American sports for twenty years. The Lakers impact 340 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: them zero, But I have this irrational hate towards the franchise. 341 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: When I see it, I just cringe. I don't really 342 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: have a reason. I really don't, especially now that they're 343 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: bought by this new owner and Luca's on the team. 344 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: I would say the same thing for Ohio State football. Like, listen, 345 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: I want to act like Ryan Day's some scrub, but 346 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: his resume speaks for itself. He's doing a good job. 347 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia higher looks good. I mean that's undisputable. Like 348 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of worked out. Brian Hartline elevated offensive coordinator 349 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: working out pretty well. There. They are the cream of 350 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: the crop in college sports. And Listen, I didn't grow 351 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: up going to USC football games in their prime. I 352 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: went to Cal football program sucked in the nineties, wasn't 353 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: any good, didn't get good Untiljeff Tedford showed up there. 354 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: So my point is like I've always I like some favorites, 355 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: Like I've always been a fan of Duke basketball, But 356 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: I also liked the Red Sox with Ortiz and Manny 357 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: before they could beat the Yankees because I was kind 358 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: of rooted for them because they were the underdog. So 359 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: I kind of pick and choose. I don't know, I 360 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: just don't like Ohio State football. I feel like I 361 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: like a lot of the guys that played there, right, 362 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: Like reading all about man Gold last year, it's like 363 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: this is the type. Gotten is my type. Guy Dustin Fox, 364 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: he used to go on his radio show All the 365 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Time former player in the mid two thousands. With those 366 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: guys aj Hawk, they seem like I got a cool crew, 367 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: Like I never watched Cam Hayward. I ever watched Ohio 368 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: State guy, especially ones that go on to do other 369 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: things and not go eh, guy's really impressive. I just 370 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: don't root for the team. I'm just rooting for you 371 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: guys to lose. I need someone to root against. And 372 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: the power of sports. And this goes back to Howard 373 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: Stern when they asked him like, well, how long do 374 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: they do his fans listen? And then he said like 375 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: an hour? He said, well, how long do the people 376 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: that hate him listen? He said, that's where he gained 377 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: such a big market share. They listen for double the 378 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: amount of time. And that's the strong part about the Yankees, 379 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: about Ohio State football, about dupe basketball, is the haters 380 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: pay attention. And that's that's the most powerful part of 381 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: the Ohio State brand, besides being the elite brand. Is 382 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: the haters just have a strong of an emotional connection. 383 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: I have no reason to hate him, I just kind 384 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: of do. I don't know why. I don't really like 385 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: Notre Dame football either, though, Marcus Freeman's kind of grown 386 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: on me. I don't know, some people you just don't like. 387 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we need to get back to 388 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: that part of society. You don't need to like everybody, 389 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: or you don't need to pretend to like everybody, because 390 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: clearly humans don't like everybody. We need to get back 391 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: to that world where it's like, I just don't like 392 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: this guy.

I'm not really Bears fan, 417 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: but I've become a huge NFL fan. Do you think 418 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson would really consider benching him this year for 419 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: badget if he keeps playing like this? Do you think 420 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: the front office would doing so? I think the only 421 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: way you ever bench him in twenty twenty five if 422 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: you know he's done with the Bears cause there's no 423 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: benching Caleb Williams in twenty twenty five, in November December 424 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: and ever coming back from it. The only way I 425 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: guess you get away with it is like the last 426 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: game of the season and you have six wins, it's like, 427 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: let's get Tyson badge at the game, maybe a showcase game. 428 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: Totally get that. But if you're benching him with several 429 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: games left, I mean that, there's just no returning from that. 430 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: I love it when people say, too, it's like, these 431 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: are the times no one has any patients. Well, yeah, 432 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot more money on the line. Now, this 433 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: isn't nineteen ninety six where it's like, oh yeah, salary 434 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: caps forty million salary caps is gonna be four hundred 435 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: million dollars in a couple of years. These media deals 436 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: are huge. The amount of money between winning and losing 437 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: for an individual franchise is immense. I can't believe it 438 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: didn't have any patients for Brian Kelly because they can't 439 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: afford to keep losing. So if they didn't pay him 440 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars to clean out his office, they were 441 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna lose another one hundred million dollars. So they had 442 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: a choice either draw a line in the sand or 443 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: keep dealing with the people who are always on the 444 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: fence of like just let it play out. It's like, well, 445 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: we can't let this play out because we're gonna go 446 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: seven and five and fucking no one's gonna show up 447 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have problems. And if you want the 448 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: softball girls to have fucking cleats on their shoes, we 449 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: gotta win a football, you know. So I just think 450 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: that that's one that's becoming a pet peeve of mine. 451 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: It's like everyone's just impatient. Yeah, society's a little less patient. 452 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to twenty twenty five in America. Time ain't on 453 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: our side, even though it's going the same pace as 454 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: always gone. It's just we live in different times. So yeah, 455 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: there's way less patience for most things. It's kind of 456 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: the way the world works, which I don't mind. I'm 457 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: pretty impatient. Individual are the Bills the most overrated team 458 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're five wins were against teams with 459 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: a combined record of ten and twenty nine. Now, the 460 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: four and four Panthers are the best team. They've beat 461 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: truth against the teams the defense looked like a JV 462 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: squad out there, and outside of James Cook, Josh is 463 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: rounded by plumbers. I don't doubt he can single handily 464 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: carry a team to wins, but for people to say 465 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: that they are contenders, it's crazy to me. I think 466 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: this week against the Chiefs, in week eleven against the 467 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: Bucks is the barometer. Yeah, I agree, I'm a little nervous. 468 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: I was rooting for them to finally get to a 469 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: super Bowl and win a super Bowl. But this is 470 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: a massive game and at the end of the day, 471 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: they're going to get judged off the playoffs. You know. 472 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: I say it's a massive game, but it's like it's 473 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: a massive game actually, assuming that the Patriots keep winning, 474 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: you got ahold serve at the end of the day, 475 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: they beat the Chiefs in the regular season, hasn't amount 476 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: of shit when it mattered in January. I want to 477 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: ask you a question for your podcast. Well you've picked 478 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: the right spot, Eric, Will we start seeing the era 479 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: of the number one wide receivers go away in the NFL. 480 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: We see how well Green Bay does with no true 481 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: number one, spreading the ball to four to six guys. 482 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: We saw how aj Brown wasn't on the field. For Philly, 483 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: the need to always force feed the ball allowed the 484 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: team to be more open. The same could be said 485 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys with desim ceed Lamb. I think it's 486 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: difficult because the whole point of a draft, and typically 487 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: most of these guys get drafted by the team Jamar Chase, 488 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamb is to nail picks, and when 489 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: you draft a guy like that, you've nailed the pick. 490 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: I do think that they're their representation, Like why do 491 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: they make so much more than tight ends and running backs? 492 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: We've seen Saquan and Christian McCaffrey two of the last 493 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: three years, be the best player in the league on offense. 494 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: Who's the best player in the league this year on offense? 495 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. It doesn't mean that Justin Jefferson and Jamar 496 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: Chase aren't awesome players, but we see Justin Jefferson with 497 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: no quarterback, Like, what can he do? Why does that 498 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: guy make thirty five million dollars but Jonathan Taylor only 499 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: makes eighteen or whatever. The top tight end is in 500 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: his prime gets nineteen million or twenty million. How does 501 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: that work? So it's like, I just think the money's 502 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: out of whack if they were making the same amount 503 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: as the other guys. That's the one thing I will 504 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: give the NBA. It's like you're not judged on position 505 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: in the NBA, point guard, shooting guard, wing, power, forward guy, bank, center, 506 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: like you're either MAX player or not. And I think 507 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: we need to kind of get back to that. Now. 508 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: You could argue they give out too many max salaries, 509 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: and there's some truth to that, But a lot of 510 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: NFL teams seem to have a glaring weakness, but we 511 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: rarely see player movement in trades to address those weaknesses. 512 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: The Chiefs clearly need a running back only real weakness 513 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: and have draft capital. See I'd push back there. I 514 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: kind of like their running back unit. I think the 515 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: rookie's been good, and I think Pajaco and Hunt have 516 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: been pretty good this season. Like I would say their 517 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: need would be more I that they would trade for, 518 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: like a defensive guy. I'm looking at they're running you 519 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: got homes. Give him four touchdowns on the ground. Kareem 520 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: Hunt is giving four touchdowns on the ground. Put Jaco's 521 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: averaging over four yards of carry give him a touchdown. Yeah, man, 522 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that's really been a huge issue. The 523 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: Steelers have draft capital and could use either wide receiver 524 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: or some defensive help. I go on and on, but 525 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: it seems like they're reluctant. I could this wasn't even 526 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs really. I figure the salary cap may 527 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: play a part, But in your experience as a scout, 528 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: are there other factors that play into this? I would 529 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: say that teams, you know, GMS value like second and 530 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: third round picks. So let's say I got a good player. 531 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: Let's say let's let's use a crazy example. Let's say 532 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: the Falcons just lose this weekend and they're like three 533 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: and five and they're in shambles, and let's say the 534 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs called and said, hey, what would it take for 535 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: us to get Bejon Robbins And they went, uh A 536 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: one in two two's. It's like, if you imagine if 537 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: you just put b Jon Robinson on the Chiefs for 538 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: the next obviously for the next couple of years, you'd 539 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: be like, da'd be Jesus to go with that group. Now, 540 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna do it, and maybe the 541 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: chief the Rams, I mean you picked the team, like, hey, 542 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: we'll give you your first round pick back, So I 543 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: think part of it is that teams just get reluctant 544 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: to pull the trigger with the picks. I think it's 545 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: less about the cap because you can manipulate that and 546 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: teams can pick up money. But I think a lot 547 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: of it comes down to, like, like, listen, I remember 548 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: when the forty nine ers trade for Christian McCaffrey. I 549 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,239 Speaker 1: thought it was crazy. I'm like, you're gonna give up 550 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: your second, your third, and your fourth round pick for 551 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. And obviously he's been one of the best 552 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: players in the league when he's on the field for them. 553 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: Since he's they made that trade, it has been he's 554 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: an incredible player, right, But I bet most gms that 555 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: might have been interested in Christian McCaffrey would be like, 556 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: under no circumstances, am I paying that much money? You know, 557 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: and that much money meaning the draft picks, Because that 558 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: is money those picks equal between my second and third 559 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: round pick. I should get at minimum one of those 560 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: guys should be an immediate starter for me who's making 561 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: no money, So it's a huge advantage. I just think 562 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: a lot of teams talk themselves out of picks and 563 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: someone DM me the other day about AJ Brown if 564 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: he got traded the dead cap acceleration. Obviously it's more 565 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: complicated to trade, you know, any player like AJ Brown, 566 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: Max Crosby, Miles Garrett. These guys just got huge new 567 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: contracts and it fucks with your cap. But I think 568 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: a lot of guys don't get traded just because teams 569 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: aren't willing to pay for it in the season. I 570 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: think it's easier in the offseason to make huge moves. 571 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: A huge fan of the Pod, what's your read on 572 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: quote old Howie versus quote new Howie? Fore the year's 573 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: Eagle fans couldn't stand him, the bad drafts, the power struggles, 574 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: be overthinking, but now he's basically the most trusted GM 575 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: in football. What do you think actually changed? Did he 576 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: evolve his Italian evaluator, get better people around him, or 577 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: just learn from past mistakes? And do you think this 578 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: version of how he is here to stay or could 579 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: we eventually see flashes of the old version creep back in? Also, 580 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: what do you think of the Eagles dream team era failed? 581 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: I think that time, you know, Coach Reid had been 582 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: there a long time. We're really trying to get over 583 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: the hump, and you just kind of start mixing desperation 584 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: with a lot of cooks in the kitchen. You know, 585 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: Joe Banner was heavily involved. You know when I was there, 586 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: Joe Banner, I guess he got kicked out the last year, 587 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 1: but like he played a big role, So I wouldn't 588 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: say how he had the juice by any means that 589 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: he had now and then I wasn't there for Chip, 590 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: but obviously, you know, Chip would be like, yeah, we're 591 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: not drafting Devonte Adams, Like what do you mean. They're like, ah, 592 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: he's not good enough. We'll take the Matthews kid out 593 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: of Vanderbilt. So it's like the coach had more juice 594 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: even when he wasn't the quote unquote GM because you're 595 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: not gonna draft players that your coach wants no part of. 596 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, DeVante Adams slow, It's like, no, actually, he's 597 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: one of the best players in this draft. And this 598 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: is the thing that doesn't come out till usually after 599 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: situations are blown up. It's like, yeah, the scouting staff 600 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: didn't agree with anything he was doing. It's like some 601 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: of these stories that come out about the Patriots draft, like, yeah, 602 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: none of the scouts wanted to do it. Bill just 603 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: did it. Bill just wanted to draft this guy in 604 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: the first round. It's like the dude the Patriots just 605 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: traded to the forty nine Ers, the pass rusher who 606 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: was a second round pick. A couple years ago. I 607 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: saw Albert Breer this clip on local Boston radio, was like, yeah, 608 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: Bill wanted to take him in the first round. It's 609 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: like sometimes these coaches don't listen to anybody. So once 610 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: how he came back in charge in whatever twenty seventeen, 611 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: like from Doug to from Doug to Sirianni, Like he's 612 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: just gotten more juice than any GM in the league has. 613 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: So it's like if scouting staffs had more juice, I 614 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: think you would see different personnel moves where it's like 615 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan doesn't want to do something, the personnel staff 616 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: has no say he's going to do it. I mean 617 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: coaches just, I mean typically have a lot of juice, 618 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: and when you're on a winning team, typically the coach 619 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: has all the juice. That's why I give credit to Siriani. 620 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: He just kind of knows where he's breas buttered. So 621 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: I would say that's he just has more control over 622 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: the last you know, seven eight years than he ever 623 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: had early on in his career. He also got the job. 624 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: I mean when I got hired, I think he was 625 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: like thirty five years old because I was twenty four 626 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: to twenty five. I remember thinking, like, he's actually closer 627 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: to my age than he is a lot of these 628 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: guys working in the league. It was actually kind of inspirational. 629 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: It was like, God, they just hired this thirty five 630 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: year old GM longtime Lions fan. MVP question, How is 631 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor not in the top five of the MVP discussion? 632 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: He is currently on pace for eighteen hundred yards and 633 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns, very similar to LT for the Chargers 634 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: and his MVP season. Yeah, man, I mean you can 635 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: go on and all, and I just think the running backs. 636 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: I've heard a couple of people break this down, they 637 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: just have no shot. I mean, they probably hasn't run 638 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: for twenty five hundred yards. I mean seriously, like Saquon 639 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: couldn't have been there. I just think what Saquan McCaffrey, 640 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: what Jonathan Taylor is doing, we might as well just 641 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 1: rename it the quarterback MVP because it feels very, very 642 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: unlikely that you're ever going to see a Barry Sanders, 643 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: Marshall fallk Lt Adrian Peterson. The one year quarterbacks are 644 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: just gonna win it. I don't have a great answer 645 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: besides that that just feels like the the standard practice 646 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: moving forward. Fair. Not huge fan of the show. Got 647 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: a broader NFL question for you, w end on this, 648 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: Why does California get to host back to back Super Bowls? 649 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: Traveling to California and paying for the super Bowl experience 650 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: is way more expensive than for fans than the other venues. 651 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: Doesn't seem fair considering that most of the country is 652 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: on the East Coast and thus easier travel and down 653 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: here in the South, we really love our football, and 654 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: I would say more than California. Heck, the Rams won 655 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and they feel like an afterthought in LA. 656 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: We have great stadiums in Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, 657 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: but seems like we get passed up. I mean those 658 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 1: all those places get it right. I mean New Orleans 659 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: gets it. I was just there last year. Miami's got 660 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: it multiple times in the last five years, six years, 661 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: Arizona gets it. On loop. You could argue the Bay 662 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: Area like the Bay Area. If you told me they 663 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 1: never get another super Bowl, like, I wouldn't complain, right, 664 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not an ideal setup like New Orleans 665 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: or even in Scottsdale is a much better venue I 666 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: think for a super Bowl than San Francisco. But like 667 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: their franchise has a lot of juice, you know. I 668 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: mean they have a lot of poll and they I 669 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: mean the last time San Francisco had it was ten 670 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: years ago, so it's not like they get that off. 671 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: So in LA is always gonna get it. Warm weather. 672 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: Place in la is not just one of the biggest 673 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: cities in America, it's a place that's hosted this event 674 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: many times. And it's also their franchise has a lot 675 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: of juice. So if you told me that the super 676 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: Bowl was just stayed three places Arizona, New Orleans, and Miami, 677 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would complain. If you just said 678 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: it's only Miami or only New Orleans, I don't think 679 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: anyone can plain either. But they're always rotating, and these 680 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: places that are going to build these domes like Tennessee 681 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: Nashville will get it even though it's cold there. But 682 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 1: if they build a dome stadium or one that has 683 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: a retractable roof. They will get one, you know, the Cowboys. 684 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I listen, I mean, are random people flying 685 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl experience. I love the NFL, but 686 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: like I wouldn't exactly call that like Disneyland or anything. 687 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: But I hear you. I mean, I don't know. I 688 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: think it has a lot to do with the poll 689 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: and you can only have super Bowls in nicer climate areas. So, 690 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean when I went to the I was at 691 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: that game Panthers Denver in Levi Stadium whatever, ten years ago. 692 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: I was sweating. I wore pants and like a button up, 693 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: short sleeved shirt and I remember being hot. It's so, 694 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean, weather plays a part the volume
