Speaker 1: seven three DP show. Good morning.

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock or the NBA Sports Network,

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: we'll talk to the new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons,

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: the former Cleveland brown head coach, Kevin Stefanski, Rich Eyesen

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: in an hour from now and also in the final hour,

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold. Raiders and Cardinals

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: still open for business, looking for their head coaches and

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: probably waiting until the end of the Super Bowl to

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: bring in maybe one of these coordinators. Certainly feels like

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: that for the Raiders. And my tip off was when

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: I was watching Tom Brady listening to Tom Brady do

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: the Seattle game. He talked a lot about Clint Kobyak

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: dialing up stuff, and I'm thinking, and then I think

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: at one point said, you know, and my guy, Clint Kubiak,

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: and I'm going I'll be damn. Tom's telling us who

32
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: he's going to hire right here in front of us.

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: But at least he was flirting with him, and then

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: you start to realize that maybe that's who is going

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: to be the next head coach of the Raiders. Who

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: could have saw that coming? I know, I don't think

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: he mentioned the offensive coordinator for the Rams, but all

38
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: I know is Clint Kubiak was dialing up some stuff.

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: And if he's dialing up stuff, or Todd Munkin or

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: Spags is dialing up something, you know. Monkin got the

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns head coaching job.

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Although I don't. It felt like a who did we

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: get okay?

44
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: Because they couldn't take a chance any longer and have

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: more potential candidates, or candidates say I don't want to

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: interview for the job. And I thought Jim Schwartz, their

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, was going to get it just because he

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: would be the only guy who wanted it. He was

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: in the building, and then all of a sudden they

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: announced they're bringing in Todd Munkin and Jim Schwartz, the

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, said, I'm out of here. I mean, imagine

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: that the one good thing about the Browns their defense,

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: and they lose their defensive coordinator.

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm out of here, yes, Pauli.

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Todd Monkin was there in twenty nineteen. He was the

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: Browns oc then he went to Georgia for a few years,

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: Ravens for a few years, and he's back.

58
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens ran a fun offense. They put

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: points on the board.

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: It's not the worst thing for a Browns fan to

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: be like, Hey, we got a guy who might play

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: a fun brand of football, something we haven't seen in

63
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: a long time.

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: But I do I have a quarterback who can play

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: that style of offense. That would be the biggest concern

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: because should Or Sanders is not playing the game the

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: way Lamar Jackson does not even close. Well, you know,

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's probably the only one who does play that way,

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: but you bring him in, they still have to decide

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: if they have a quarterback. Okay, does Kevin Stefanski answer

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: this question? Is should Or Sanders a franchise quarterback? Does

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: he answer that?

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Paulie?

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: No?

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: Because I watched him the other day and he's asked

76
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: about Browns things. He said, I'm all into the Falcons

77
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: about the future and.

78
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: What's going on.

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: Now, come on, yeah, it's all future, It's all about content.

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't he know?

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: I can't waste everybody's time, can't be talking about the Falcons. Well,

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you about Kirk Cousins. What's his

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: future there?

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 6: Yes, Hud, I could see him answering it not to

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 6: be rude, but he won't really say much. I'll say

86
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 6: he could be you know, we'll see what the future

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 6: holds and just kind of leave it generic like that.

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: Mmm.

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Josh Allen had foot surgery, and you know they

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: were bringing in Joe Brady announcing him as the new

91
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: head coach, and all of a sudden, I see Josh

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Allen on crutches and I'm like, wait, what happened here?

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: So he had foot surgery. I don't know to what extent.

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was successful because all surgeries on athletes

95
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: are successful, but he did take blame for Sean McDermott

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: being fired.

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 7: I'd be lying to you if I'm sitting here saying that,

98
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 7: you know, I feel like I had part in it,

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 7: because if we made, if I make one more play

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 7: that game in Denver, We're probably not having this press

101
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 7: conference right now. We're probably not making a change and

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 7: all honestly, it's probably we're probably getting ready to play

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 7: another game. And that's that's the hard part to taken

104
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 7: from my perspective.

105
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: Okay, man, you got in front of the media. I

106
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: appreciate that. Uh fell on his sword, taking some blame there.

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: You have an update on the surgery, Poling.

108
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, according to the bills, Uh it was his fifth

109
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: metatarsal bone that he broke. It was an old injury

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: that he reaggravated in the game, and they had it

111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: cleaned up. They like to use where his like cleaned

112
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: up surgeries. Negative cleaned up is nicer.

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: But it's weird.

114
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: Sean Payton is the one who announced the surgery and

115
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: that he had had prior surgeries on his foot.

116
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: He's gone team by tea. That is a little on

117
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: your business.

118
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's He's the on budsman for all the surgeries here.

119
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Hey, you guys had prior surgeries there? I know all

120
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: about it, Yes, Paul.

121
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: Have you guys ever had one of those walking boots

122
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: after an injury or surgery?

123
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 8: Mm?

124
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: No, No, they're big. Yeah.

125
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: Most of my injuries are from my knees on up,

126
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: I didn't have any. Even being a high flyer. You know,

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: you'd think i'd have maybe some foot issues there. But Marvin,

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: why are you laughing?

129
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to laugh. Okay, sorry, come on, you're

130
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: a dat a flyer. I dated a flyer, yeah, cheerleader. Yeah.

131
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: I lost her to a rugby player.

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are tough, and maybe a basketball player too.

133
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Something got lost in translation.

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 9: I'm glad you don't remember it.

135
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember it.

136
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: I remember it. She tells everybody that we dated. I

137
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: tell everybody that she left me. Yes, do you remember

138
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: how that went down?

139
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 9: Was there a conversation that she is.

140
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: I just remember somebody saying, Oh, your girlfriend's over at

141
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: the rugby house.

142
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: That's never a good time. That's not a good Yeah,

143
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: and I remember it again.

144
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: She had a crush on one of the basketball players too,

145
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: and would always talk about how cute he was.

146
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

147
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: I just I didn't read the room red flag DP.

148
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: You know, I read the room after she left the room,

149
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: and she wasn't coming back like I love you.

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Maybe not keep away from running around soup. Oh, you know,

151
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I was just worried about my jumper. You know, I

152
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: should have worried about her. I hope she's doing well.

153
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: Is that a country song? I was just worried about

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: my jumper. I should have been worried about you.

155
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: That sounds like a country Clint Black, Can.

156
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,640

00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: Tupac and Janet Jackson.

161
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: For the love of the game. Was Kevin Costner? That's

162
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: a Kevin Costner movie?

163
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: Oh?

164
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Was that Baseball? Yeah? Where he's a Detroit Tiger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

165
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: It always bothered me that the title was for love

166
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: of the game, not for the love of the.

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: Game, and that's why I didn't see it. Oh that

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: was it? Yeah truly?

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: Okay?

170
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 10: Uh you confused Kevin Costner and Tupac.

171
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it happens both great lyricists.

172
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: Let's see who will be the first player to score

173
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: sixty in a regular season game?

174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: DraftKings just sent me a list.

175
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: M Lucas the favorite, then SGA, Jannis, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brown,

176
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson, Cooper flag goes for forty nine last night.

177
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Not on that list.

178
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: There's interesting prop bets, and I love the creativity. And

179
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if I have this correct, I remember

180
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: reading it, but the first what will be shown first?

181
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: Alcatraz or the Bay Bridge?

182
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Oh?

183
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: So this is the Super Bowl broadcast? Which landmark will

184
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: be shown first?

185
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Todd, It's got.

186
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 6: To be the bridge. First of all, it's pretty, or

187
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 6: it's a pretty of a look than some old building. Secondly,

188
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 6: I think most people would instantly realize what that is

189
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 6: as opposed to, you know, unless there was some kind

190
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 6: of neon side that's an Alcoraz, which I don't think.

191
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: That or Alcatraz.

192
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 9: I call him Alcoraz. Watch too much of the Australian.

193
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Opening, might show him. Yeah, they could, you know, really weird.

194
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 9: You can win a lot of money on that bed Alcoraz.

195
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: And then you had Djokovic who just advanced to the

196
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: finals of the Australian Open. And then I think Paulie said, hey,

197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: or maybe it was Marvin better Joker, Nicola Jokic or

198
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: Novak Djokovic better joker. So the tennis player basketball player

199
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: pole question? Yeah, yeah, better yoker. Yeah, I would say

200
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: Djokovic because he's probably the greatest tennis player of all

201
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: time and at his age, and he's going to go

202
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: to the final and face Alcarez or Alcatraz.

203
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: Yes, Pauli escape from Alcarez. They've used that in tennis before.

204
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 5: I did.

205
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Not easy to do. Not easy to do either.

206
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 3: Have a couple more prop bets for you, the brgs,

207
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: just since these are very very snarky Seahawks to attempt

208
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: to pass on or inside the Patriots one yard line.

209
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I saw that one. Wow, that one's tough.

210
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: That one callback.

211
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: I saw a breakdown of that final drive by Russell

212
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: Wilson Junior the third against the Patriots, and he was incredible.

213
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: He was I thought he was the best player on

214
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: the field that night. And you know, just big plays.

215
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: And then you had Curse with the catch, and then

216
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: you had Marshawn taking it down to the one and

217
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: a half and he starts to the right side of Russell,

218
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: goes to the left side, and then they throw the

219
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: pass because once he went to the left side, I'm thinking,

220
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: I got this unbelievable, unbelievable view. Marshaun Lynch is running

221
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: right into me in the end zone, right by the goalpost.

222
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: Because I thought, okay, I here it is. And Patriots

223
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: can't do anything about it. They know what's gonna happen.

224
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: They can't do anything about it. And then all of

225
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: a sudden, who's the guy Browner? Marvin, you always.

226
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Mentioned this guy, Brandon Browner, the corner.

227
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: Brandon Browner makes an unbelievable play because he grabs the

228
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: receiver and Evan mccordy, Jason mccordy said, you know, once

229
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: we knew what the play was, you take away the

230
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: guy who was going to set the pick or run

231
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: interference and Browner grabs him. And then that allows Malcolm

232
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: Butler to have a free run at the football.

233
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Like just little things.

234
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: I mean not little things that could get your coach

235
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame, but just little things that

236
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: the Patriots.

237
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the players saw that one coming, not the coach. Yeah,

238
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: he didn't. He was like, damn, I didn't know that.

239
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: Starting to hear more and more that when Armando Selgero,

240
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: who is a voter and he writes for OutKick, and

241
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: he talked about spygate came up and it lasted about

242
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: an hour the conversation about Belichick, and one of the

243
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: voters followed up with me yesterday after the show and

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: he said that once spygate came up and then Belichick's

245
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: record without Tom Brady came up, he said, that's the

246
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: first time I thought that I realized Belichick might not

247
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: get in, He might not get eighty percent of the votes.

248
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: But leading up to that thought, of course he's going

249
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: to get in. How ironic would it be if Robert

250
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: Kraft gets in and Belichick doesn't get in, Because there's

251
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: we don't know who got in of those other you know,

252
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: the other nominees. We know Belichick didn't get in. I

253
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: haven't heard anything about. Somebody said, you know, is Elsie

254
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 2: Greenwood going to get in?

255
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: I go, I hope.

256
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if Kenny Anderson's getting in. Roger Craig,

257
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: but it might be Robert Craft. And he should be

258
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. But does he pay a

259
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: price because he ran the organization that these things happened under.

260
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: I guess you can say his watch.

261
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauline, when you had Sal Powell on the other day,

262
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: he said, I don't look for the negative. I look

263
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: for the positives to make their case for the Hall

264
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: of Fame. Like if you wanted to ding Brady for something,

265
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, who is as first ballot as it gets,

266
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 3: what do you say, Oh, he went nine years without

267
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: winning a Super Bowl. As if that's a negative, you know,

268
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: you could make stuff up, you'd have to create something.

269
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: But it's factually true. But he was in them.

270
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: He was in the AFC title game like six times

271
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: in that stretch.

272
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I you know, Brady was directly involved in

273
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: a cheating scandal, deflate Gate, spygate. You know, we you know,

274
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson said, hey, we tried to do it. Other

275
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: teams have done this, and you know the same thing,

276
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: but we kind of brushed those off, you know, like

277
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: it's no big deal. But it's Belichick and the Patriots. Therefore, somehow,

278
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's more severe. But if you look at

279
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: defleate gate, I mean, that's Tom involved in manipulating a football,

280
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: even though it's a silly rule. Silly rule.

281
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 10: Yes, Marvin, I feel bad for the guys that are

282
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 10: going to get into the Hall of Fame because every

283
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 10: Super Bowl they get to the goal line and they

284
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 10: announce all of the Hall of Famers. They all go

285
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 10: out there and they wave, and it's going to be

286
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 10: one glaring omission, and the play by play guys Colin's

287
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 10: worth intrico, they're going to talk about Belichick not getting

288
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 10: into the Hall of Fame instead of the guys that

289
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 10: actually did get in.

290
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hall of Fame did reach out and say, do

291
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: you guys want to bring your show up here?

292
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: Now we do?

293
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like all right, but this is during the ceremonies.

294
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: They want to know if you want to come out

295
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: there in August not now yes.

296
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 5: Touch.

297
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 9: I just got to note they just voted no.

298
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of fun. Oh they don't want to votes.

299
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: Darn it, darn it.

300
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break. We'll talk to

301
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: the Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski. We'll get to more

302
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: of your phone calls as well on this meet Friday.

323
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Where are your Coach of the Year awards?

324
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 12: You know, one was on my daughter's bedstand for a minute.

325
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 12: She liked it, And that one I think is somewhere

326
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 12: in storage. And then the other one I gave to

327
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 12: my cousin Steve, because the night of that award, I

328
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 12: don't remember that, but I wasn't there, but the person

329
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 12: that announced the award said Steve Stefancy. So my cousin Steve,

330
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 12: who I'm very close with, he has that somewhere in

331
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 12: his home office.

332
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: Does it say Steve Stefanski on it?

333
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 5: Now? The award itself has my own care. Never miss

334
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 5: an opportunity to have a joke like that.

335
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: What do those awards mean to you?

336
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 12: You know, it means a lot to me because that's

337
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 12: those individual awards are such a reflection of the collective.

338
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 5: And I think about those.

339
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 12: You know, one of them was from year one for

340
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 12: us in Cleveland in twenty twenty when I went to

341
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 12: the playoffs, won a playoff game, and just the that

342
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 12: team and those coaches and how we battled. That was

343
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 12: the COVID year and everybody knows how unique all of

344
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 12: that was.

345
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 5: And then the one.

346
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 12: From twenty three was a great reflection on an amazing

347
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 12: group of guys that fought and scratched and clawed our

348
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 12: way to the playoffs behind unbelievable defense, behind multiple quarterbacks.

349
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 5: And that's a credit to the coaching staff.

350
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 12: I know the award says my name, but man, is

351
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 12: that's an award that goes to the coaching staff.

352
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: How do you know you're wired to be a head coach?

353
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 5: Great? I don't know, A good question. I don't.

354
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 12: It's funny. I didn't set out to have this job.

355
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 12: This was not a grand plan. I think fourth grade

356
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 12: I wanted to be an architect, if I remember correctly.

357
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 12: But yeah, these type of things, they just what I

358
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 12: try to do is keep my head down, do the

359
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 12: job I have that's currently in front of me. I

360
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 12: was so blessed along the way to be put in

361
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 12: positions that where I could grow. And I can't tell

362
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 12: you how lucky I was to be at the Vikings,

363
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 12: for instance, for fifteen seasons and to move my way

364
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 12: around that coaching staff. I didn't set out for that.

365
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 12: That wasn't the roadmap, but I found myself in this position.

366
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I've said before, there are certain guys who

367
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: were just meant to be coordinators. When you become a

368
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: head coach, I mean you got to be your answering

369
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: to everybody about everything. You got to be a CEO,

370
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: and you get for they're away from what you really

371
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: love doing and being a coordinator.

372
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very interesting.

373
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 12: You're right, and I loved my time as a position coach.

374
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 12: I love my time as a coordinator. I remember when

375
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 12: I was named a coordinator for the first time. I'm

376
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 12: at practice and I'm walking around during individual periods as

377
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 12: the quarterbacks are working and the tight ends are working.

378
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 5: Over here, and where do I go? Where do I

379
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 5: fit in here?

380
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 12: And then as a head coach, now I'm helping out

381
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 12: the defense or I'm watching special teams. So you're always

382
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 12: trying to navigate where you can help. And certainly as

383
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 12: you get farther, as you get to the coordinator role

384
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 12: or you get to the head coach role, it is

385
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 12: easy to get.

386
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 5: Farther away from that.

387
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 12: So you have to work very hard to get involved

388
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 12: in drills, get involved.

389
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 5: In meetings, be intentional about that is important.

390
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: When you interview with the falcons. How much is you're

391
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: interviewing them or them interviewing you.

392
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 5: It's absolutely both, you know.

393
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 12: I was very fortunate over the last few weeks to

394
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 12: go on some visits to have some zooms with different teams,

395
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 12: and those were fact finding missions for me. I've been

396
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 12: doing this now. I've been in the league for twenty years,

397
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 12: so I.

398
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 5: Know a lot of people. I know a lot of

399
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 5: people I'm talking to. We have mutual friends.

400
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 12: But I'm trying to find out about these buildings and

401
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 12: find out who these people are and what they're about. Obviously,

402
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 12: you make your phone calls and you certainly know who

403
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 12: they are from other people. But then you sit across

404
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 12: from somebody, I think you get a feel for somebody

405
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 12: and you talk about what your values are, what they believe,

406
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 12: and see if there's a mesh.

407
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: There if you will, how do you use Matt ryan.

408
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 12: Man in a lot of ways, and Matt being here

409
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 12: in this role was a huge draw for me that

410
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 12: pulled me to this building. Matt's somebody that I've known

411
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 12: about for a long time. We both grew up in

412
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 12: the Philadelphia area. I've known who Matt is about what

413
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 12: he's about. I know exactly where he is in terms

414
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 12: of how he feels and sees this game, and that

415
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 12: was important to me because Matt's somebody that I'm going

416
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 12: to rely heavily on on a day to day basis,

417
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 12: on a big picture base as a thought partner. You know,

418
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 12: we hired Ian Cunningham last night as our general manager.

419
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 12: So within with myself with Matt, we're gonna put our

420
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 12: heads together as we move forward here.

421
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 5: But having a person like.

422
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 12: Matt that knows this city, that knows what winning is about,

423
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 12: that's such a huge.

424
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: Deal for me.

425
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski the Falcons head coach Kirk Cousins situation, trying

426
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: to understand what happened either yesterday or day before.

427
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: His future with Atlanta is what we'll see.

428
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 12: That's why we hired Ian Cunningham, you know, just got

429
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 12: in last night, so we'll see on all those type

430
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 12: of decisions. Obviously, it's no secret Kirk and I have

431
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 12: a relationship. I think very very highly of the person.

432
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 12: I think very highly of the player. All those type

433
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 12: of decisions are something that Ian we'll get in here

434
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 12: and again we'll put our heads together on all those

435
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 12: type of things. But no secret that, you know, Kirk,

436
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 12: somebody I have a tremendous amount of respect.

437
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: For do you have uniform approval?

438
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: That's not my not my contract.

439
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 12: And I'm I'm one of those guys Dan like whatever

440
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 12: is in the locker I'm wearing.

441
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: So let's go.

442
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: Oh man, those eighty throwbacks public public sentiment here, coach.

443
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I love as you can as you can see,

444
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 12: I love these colors. I love this logo. But I'll

445
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 12: stay in my lane. I'll let those the smart people

446
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 12: make those decisions.

447
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Can we have your old Browns gear?

448
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 5: You could have.

449
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 12: It's given away already though, so you're gonna have to

450
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 12: go find it, fight it from some other people.

451
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: You know.

452
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 5: The hardest thing is what these teams do.

453
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 12: An amazing job of the equipment staff in Cleveland unbelievable,

454
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 12: the equipment staff here unbelievable. But what they do is

455
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 12: they put your name in every article of Clotland.

456
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you gotta be careful.

457
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 12: You don't want that to show up at Goodwill and

458
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 12: someone's pulling out, you know, Kevin Spansky's sweatshirt. So I

459
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 12: try to give those away to some friends and family

460
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 12: in the in the Cleveland area, but sure enough they'll

461
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 12: pull the tag and show you that was my sweatshirt.

462
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: I watch your pressference, your introductory press conference. I know

463
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: you didn't want to talk about the Cleveland Browns, So

464
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: you want to swat this way you can, But was

465
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: it fair to Shador and Dylan to be put in

466
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: a situation like that as rookies.

467
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, that I would tell you I

468
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 12: have zero ill will towards anyone in that building. Dean

469
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 12: Jimmy Haslam treated me unbelievably, treated my family unbelievably, So

470
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 12: I have no ill will.

471
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: Towards all those type of things.

472
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 12: As it relates to decisions like that, It's not fair

473
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 12: for me to comment those two young players. I love

474
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 12: those guys. I loved coaching them. I love their development

475
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 12: as a coach. Why we do this is you take

476
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 12: a player and you try to get a little bit

477
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 12: more out of them, and you try to develop them.

478
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 12: And I want to get this guy better at that

479
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 12: And I think both those guys you can point to

480
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 12: their rookie seasons and say, man, they got better in

481
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 12: these areas. Ultimately, we want to continue to improve in

482
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 12: those guys.

483
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: Both of them will. But I think very highly of

484
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 5: those two young men.

485
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just tough, you know, no matter how old

486
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: you are. To play that position in the NFL, let

487
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: alone to go win there and get you know, thrown

488
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: into that. And I just wondered, you know, you're the

489
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: head coach, and you know you're an offensive minded guy,

490
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: and trying to put them in a position to succeed

491
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: as rookies had to be, you know, one of the

492
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: more challenging things you probably have gone through.

493
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 12: I'm happy to have gone through it. You know, it

494
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 12: was one of those unique things. Trying to find out

495
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 12: ways to structure the offseason, find out ways to make

496
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 12: sure you're bringing them along. You know, developing young quarterbacks

497
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 12: is something that we want to be, you know, want

498
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 12: to be.

499
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: At the forefront of.

500
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 12: So again, love those two young guys and they'll continue

501
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 12: to improve.

502
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: Once again, he's Steve Stefanski. He is the new head coach. Yeah, hey,

503
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: I'll answering.

504
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, coach, and appreciate your time.

505
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, appreciate you guys.

506
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: That's Kevin Stefansk. That's funny, that's fun Give it to

507
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: your buddy named Steve. Yeah, I mean the whole quarterbacking situation,

508
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: that's the tough part of it is you're the coach

509
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: and you're coaching for your job management, ownership gives you

510
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: these two quarterbacks. You get rid of Joe Flacco, which

511
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: I would have kept Flacco as long as I could,

512
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 2: because those two quarterbacks, those rookie quarterbacks.

513
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: They need time.

514
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: They are nowhere near ready to be a franchise quarterback,

515
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: nowhere near. And you could tell that and then all

516
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: of a sudden you kind of modify your offense, your playbook,

517
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: and you know this is an offensive minded guy, and

518
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: there's only so much you can do and should or

519
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: some you know, he showed some signs, but he's really

520
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: not ready to be a starting quarterback in my opinion.

521
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 2: And Dylan Gabriel, but you had to put somebody out there.

522
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 2: That was the problem. You had too many quarterbacks and

523
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: then you didn't have enough.

524
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paulie, I'm really curious about the Falcons quarterback situation

525
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: going forward. Michael Pennix. I think he's got four and

526
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: eight as a starter in two years. Injuries, a couple

527
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 3: nice games here or there, but it feels like they

528
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: have a great roster but not assured in the quarterback provision.

529
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: And you know that Kevin is friends with Kirk Cousins

530
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 2: and working with him in Minnesota. Now granted it at

531
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: age thirty seven. I still think he's a better quarterback

532
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: than Michael Pennix. But I mean, it certainly felt like

533
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: the Falcons were approaching releasing Kirk Cousins. And then I wonder,

534
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: does Kirk could he go back to Minnesota, could he

535
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: go to Pittsburgh? Could he take Matt Ryan's job at CBS?

536
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 2: Their pregame show, so some options there. I just know

537
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: I got Jean Robinson. And when you have that, when

538
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: you go on the field, you know you have one

539
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: guy who is better than probably anybody else on that

540
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: field in most games. You got that guy, that weapon,

541
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 2: and you got a division that you can win. And

542
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: he gets to face Baker Mayfield Junior the third a

543
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 2: couple of times a year.

544
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: Yes, Mark.

545
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 10: And also can he turn Kyle Pitts into the player

546
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 10: that we all thought he was going to be when

547
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 10: he came out of the draft. We thought he was

548
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 10: going to change the tight end position.

549
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: But is Pitt's going to be there next year? I

550
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: think this is his last year contract.

551
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: I think. All right, some phone calls here, Bill and Sarasota. Hi, Bill,

552
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Good morning?

553
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 13: I'm a longtime listener and didn't think I was going

554
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 13: to get through. So you know your question earlier today

555
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 13: about what the NFL needs to look at at Super Bowl. Yeah,

556
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 13: I'm sixty seven, so I've been watching a lot of football.

557
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 13: Raven Sam here down in Sarasota, Florida, when I said,

558
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 13: and watch games with my friends. None of us know

559
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 13: what a pass interference is anymore, none of us, and

560
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 13: it's ruining the game. I don't care what they're charging

561
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 13: me to watch the game, the Sunday ticket, I do

562
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 13: all that stuff, but they are ruining the sport for

563
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 13: me because games are decided by these calls. Every team

564
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 13: has a gripe.

565
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 5: I think the.

566
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 13: NFL needs to figure out they've got the technology, some

567
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 13: kind of format where they do a tutorial, a video

568
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 13: tutorial with rests, and they go through plays and they

569
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 13: break them down and they show us why that was

570
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 13: and why that wasn't past interference. It can be a

571
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 13: pregame show, it could be on ESPN whatever, but we

572
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 13: are lost out here. That's my big riding about the

573
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 13: NFL right now. I don't care what they're charging me.

574
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 13: I don't know what the game is anymore.

575
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: That's fair.

576
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a great idea. If you could get

577
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: a couple of former officials. I'd love to have current

578
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: officials and they could tell you what they look for.

579
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: It's amazing the number of times when I watch slow

580
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: motion and I watch a dB and a wide receiver

581
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: kind of hand to hand combat, but that dB almost

582
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: always trying to turn around to the football and he's

583
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: going to put his hand on one of your arms

584
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: almost always. And you know, as a former defensive back

585
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: told me, if you keep it inside, it's not egregious.

586
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: If I keep my hands in, you're going to get

587
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: away with that. And the offense and defense knows that.

588
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: But I want to know what you see, Like what

589
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: will you call if your head is turned to the

590
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: receiver and you're you're not playing the quarterback, you're playing

591
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: the receiver. They're going to call that every time. But

592
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: if you keep your hands in and there's kind of

593
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: Joscelyn and I can hold your arm down and get

594
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: away with it, I'd just be I'd love to have

595
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: somebody say this is what we allow. I can I

596
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: can put my arm around you. I'd say you go

597
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: across the middle. I can put my arm around you,

598
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: behind you as long as I'm not polling, but I

599
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: can use you to then get in front of the

600
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: football and knock it way.

601
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: But they allowed that.

602
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: So there's certain things where you go, is that past interference?

603
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: Or why isn't that past interference? Or are you kidding me?

604
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: That's past interference? Yeah, Pauline.

605
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: What I think makes it worse for the refs every

606
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 3: year is we have more technology, more cameras, slower, better,

607
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: slow motion, replace instantaneously, and those replays are cut and

608
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: put on social media within seconds of the play, so

609
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: even if you're not watching, you could find it and

610
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: react to it and announce your.

611
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: Fervor about it. My fervor, your ferv I mean it.

612
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: Gets twenty five years ago, there was one replay maybe

613
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: of each play, and it was grainy.

614
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: But then I'm trying to rack my brain of what

615
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: I thought was past interference, and I thought contact like

616
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: just something simple. Now I can put my hands on

617
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: you in certain situations, and trying to understand what they're calling,

618
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: what they're looking for would help us when we're watching,

619
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: because then we'd go, oh, yeah, they're not going to

620
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: call that or that's not past interference. Oh, Michael and

621
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: Fort Wayne, Hey, Mike, what's on your mind today?

622
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 14: Hey, and thanks for taking my call on Happy to

623
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 14: Meet Friday to you and the whole team. Thank you personally,

624
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 14: I'd like to officially submit my nomination to get herb

625
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 14: White on the show. I bet he's got some great

626
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 14: stories and he's a voice that no one's heard. I

627
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 14: can guarantee you that. Secondly, just one thought for you,

628
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 14: and you can let me know if I'm off base.

629
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 14: But as teams scramble to hire a new head coach

630
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,959
Speaker 14: this time of year, coaching trees get mentioned a lot,

631
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 14: and every time I hear it, I roll my eyes

632
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 14: just a little because we all look at the success

633
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 14: of Andy Reid or Nick Saban's assistance, and we say,

634
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 14: look at the tree.

635
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 13: It's because of the tree.

636
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 14: But then Bill Belichick, who is apparently not a Hall

637
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 14: of Famer, well, he's got a tree too, and aside

638
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 14: from Rabel, his tree stinks.

639
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

640
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 14: So it all just seems like a nice little fun

641
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 14: fact and graphic that we like to put on a screen.

642
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 14: But it's just a correlation, not a causation.

643
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Michael.

644
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: Well wait till Mike Tomlin comes up for a Hall

645
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: of Fame discussion. There's no coaching tree there. Sean mcvayh

646
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: or Kyle Shanahan they had a coaching tree. Or Bill

647
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: Walsh or Mike Holmgren, they had a coaching tree.

648
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to know if you can coach, Like, Okay,

649
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: you got some assistants and you developed them and they

650
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: became head coaches. Great, How did you do? That's the

651
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: most important part.

652
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 5: You know.

653
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: If I see Charlie Weiss wasn't a good head coach

654
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: or Romeo Coronell, it doesn't take away from Bill Belichick. It,

655
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: if anything, adds to the fact that he won with them. Like,

656
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: it's not like those guys, they weren't very good as

657
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: a head coach. How were they as coordinators? Not everybody

658
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: needs to be a head coach.

659
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, So you're saying the worst you're coaching tree,

660
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: the better you were as a coach.

661
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: It's actually a good thing. Yeah, Okay, that's the grain.

662
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spin it. We're gonna get Belichick into the

663
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame by next week. You know, I appreciate that. Well,

664
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: take a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back

665

Speaker 1: FSR to listen live. Matt in Ohio, Good morning, Matt.

669
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: What's on your mind today?

670
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 15: Hey, good morning guys.

671
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: How you doing good.

672
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 15: So a couple of weeks ago, I fell and dislocated

673
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 15: my elbow and I haven't been able to do so much,

674
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 15: so I've been kind of sitting around and I thought

675
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 15: of an idea for a shirt and also a product placement.

676
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 15: So the T shirt would say this shirt is sick

677
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 15: sc shut In Crew. On the front of it would

678
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 15: be a picture of Dan with all his surgeries and problems.

679
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 15: On the back of it, you fritzy, and and kind

680
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 15: of a sprinkle the guys in between it, just as

681
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 15: Irony kind of had it. Right after I did this,

682
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 15: I told my wife that we need to go out

683
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 15: and get something because I cannot sleep in bed until

684
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 15: this thing starts to heal. So I picked up a

685
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 15: Z Cliiner, and I thought, maybe you could pick up

686
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 15: z Cliner as a sponsor on the shirt and just

687
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 15: say sponsored by z Cliner.

688
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: Little product placement.

689
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: A lot of thought given then, But Matt has a

690
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: lot of time to just think. Can't move z Cliner,

691
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 2: zero gravity if you want to fall asleep. Seven percent

692
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 2: of adults have a hard time sleeping an event maybe

693
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 2: eight Now with Matt just letting you know, let me.

694
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: See Josh in Texas. Hi, Josh, what's on your mind today?

695
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 8: Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. Kind of nervous

696
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 8: and first time, long time. I just wanted to thank

697
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 8: you guys for what you do. My best friend and

698
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 8: I used to hang out on Friday mornings and watch

699
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 8: the show. We call it Friend Friday. He passed away

700
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 8: back in August. I just wanted to give him a

701
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 8: shout out. His name was Jet. I miss our friend Fridays,

702
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 8: but they definitely live on through you guys. But Dan,

703
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 8: all you guys, I appreciate what you do true professionals.

704
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 8: Been a fan for a long time.

705
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 5: I always enjoy the show.

706
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 8: But I believe you're one of the last true professional journalists.

707
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 8: I saw a post on X last night about the

708
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 8: sports Reporters.

709
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: I always loved that show.

710
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 8: Yeah to ask if you feel like professional journalism is

711
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 8: slowly fading away?

712
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: And then my last thing.

713
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 8: A previous caller put in a vote for someone who

714
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 8: might be worthy to take over when you, unfortunately and

715
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 8: inevitably retire, And I'd like to second a vote for

716
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 8: Ross Tucker and then happy meet Friday and friend Friday boys.

717
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, Johsh thanks for the phone call.

718
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'm worried that you see a lot of newspapers,

719
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: the sports department going away, Washington Post newspaper in Pittsburgh.

720
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 2: But I you know, I was fortunate that I grew

721
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: up in an environment where writing was really important and

722
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: reporting was really important. And we've never wavered off this.

723
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not a hot take guy, but I

724
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: it's not what I was brought up to do. Now

725
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: I know that's the popular thing to do. I just

726
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 2: I want to give you an inform take. A hot

727
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 2: take just feels careless, like you didn't give it any research.

728
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: And you know, if it means I wait an hour,

729
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: or wait a day, or wait a week and then

730
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: give you an opinion, it's because I hope it's an

731
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 2: educated opinion, not off the top of my head, because

732
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: that's not what I was brought up doing. And we'll

733
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: go out the same way I came in. Matt in La, Hi, Matt,

734
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?

735
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 16: Good morning. A little more Belichick talk. I read an

736
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 16: article that said that senior member or veteran players who

737
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 16: have not yet made it into the NFL were lumped

738
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 16: in with coaches. And this person was saying that I

739
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 16: don't know if he was a voter or he spoke

740
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 16: to a voter, and he said that that impacted because

741
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 16: it was I know there were two of the three

742
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 16: I remember, Elsie Greenwood and Roger Craig, and he voted

743
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 16: for them. He said that took his vote away from

744
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 16: Bill Belichick. And then secondly, I was just wondering, is

745
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 16: Fritzie known as the Minister of humor because he's so

746
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 16: well versed in what's not funny?

747
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 15: Wow?

748
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 9: I thought we were gonna be able to go through

749
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 9: the rest of the show.

750
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we're getting all these compliments.

751
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 9: Was going in such a positive direction?

752
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get that zinger in.

753
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 2: I don't want voters to try to change the rules midstream.

754
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: If you say, oh, you know what, I'm not going

755
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: to vote for Belichick, he'll get in. Let me get

756
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: these other guys in. Okay, that's a great gesture on

757
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: your part, but vote yes or no. I'm not going

758
00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: to waste my vote over here.

759
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do.

760
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 2: I want to see Kenny Anderson, Roger Craig, Elsie Green

761
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: would get in the Hall of Fame, Yes, I do.

762
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: But Belichick should be in the Hall of Fame. That's

763
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: who you should out of all the candidates, who's the

764
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: best candidate, Bill Belichick, and then after that it's Robert Kraft.

765
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: But I think when you are all of a sudden

766
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: trying to change the rules, I have a problem with that. Yeah,

767
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 2: Pauling or yes, I don't.

768
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 4: Understand why you even have to have like well, it's

769
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: like somewhere between three to five that get in a year,

770
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 4: Like why not just have it be if there's seven

771
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame candidates that year, then put all seven in.

772
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: Who cares how many it is?

773
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 2: I agree, it's not like when I go, oh, there's

774
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: way we will say not that many candidates this year.

775
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 5: There is.

776
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 2: It's overcrowded in the waiting room for the Hall of Fame.

777
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: Now does that mean everybody gets in? No, you're just

778
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 2: a candidate. But like Darren Woodson should be in the

779
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame in my opinion, played for the Cowboy,

780
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 2: played on championship teams.

781
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's going to get in.

782
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 2: Rodney Harrison, I know when I see somebody, I go,

783
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: that's a Hall of Fame player. I saw Kenny Anderson play.

784
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: He was an MVP, but he got lost in the

785
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: quarterback shuffle. You know, he wasn't Montana or Marino, and

786
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 2: you know he was kind of in the middle there

787
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: and he played for you know, well, they did go

788
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl one year and faced Joe Montana.

789
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: But is everybody going to get in? No, they're not.

790
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 2: But those who should get in should get in right

791
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: right in the moment. Not you know, Belichick will get in.

792
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, how many of these

793
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: coaching candidates have we done the following? What was their record?

794
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: What was Jimmy Johnson's record without Troy Aikman? Because they

795
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 2: did this to Belichick, They're like, yeah, losing record without

796
00:39:53,400 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 2: Tom Okay, a coaching tree, Okay, spygate, Okay. Jimmy Johnson

797
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: came out and said we tried to do that and

798
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: others and a former Colt's assistant was a master at

799
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: doing that.

800
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, isn't it crazy?

801
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 4: How before Tom Brady left New England, the whole talking

802
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 4: point was, well, yeah, but Tom's only great because of Bill.

803
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden, Tom goes to Tampa

804
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 4: and it's like, oh, look, it turns out Bill was

805
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 4: completely overrated this whole time.

806
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Thank God for Tom. That's crazy, the flip.

807
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: I just you know how we're putting Belichick out on

808
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: an island and we didn't do that for other coaches.

809
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: Did anybody say, well, what was Bill Walsh's record without

810
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 2: Steve Young and Joe Montana.

811
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't care. I know what it was with them. Yeah, Paulie.

812
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 3: The common threat is the other guys you mentioned were

813
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: all cooperative with the media when they were at their peak.

814
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.

815
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: Rich eisen Well, Jonas on loan from NFL Network does

816
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 2: his radio show on the mother Ship. Also, Sam Darnold

817
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,520
